Chapter 195: Growing Pains
The limbed serpent kept writhing around within the cage, trying to escape from confinement. The boy, Tao Ba, rattled the cage a few more times. Laughing and then remembering hed already grown bored of the teasing. His hand shot out lightning fast and snatched the tip of the Serpents tail. Grabbing hold a wave of energy passed from his hand and into the Serpents body. The energy rippled through the beasts body before returning back to his hand.
Still havent grown up enough? Interesting.
Tao Ba waved his hand and the chain that was holding the cage unraveled from the tree branch that it was hanging from. Walking away, the cage just floated in the air behind him, following him as he walked towards the edge of the territory. At the edge of the ten mile radius area within the Universe Ring there was a thick fog, one which had always prevented Sage and anything he brought within from passing. No matter what was done, it was impassable.
The white haired boy simply walked right through the fog, the cage following behind him. After walking through the fog for a few minutes in what seemed to be random directions, he stepped out of the fog. They were now within the depths of what seemed to be an overgrown jungle. The air was hot and humid. Bird cries, insect chirps, frog croaks, the screeches of monkeys, and even the squeal of a boar were present. Huge trees seemed to stretch to the sky, dense vines interweaving between their trunks and creating a maze in the air. The ground was just as muddled, thick bushes with round leaves the size of dinner plates mashed up against thick reedy stalks covered in thorns. Brilliantly colored flowers opened up and displayed their delicate stamen and pistil. A bird landed upon a large flower and then seemed to slowly fall asleep.
The little green bird slid in towards the center of the flower blossom which slowly closed around it, sealing up like a fly trap. In another place a whole bush filled with a dozen of those same flowers shook a few times before falling down. The culprit was a creature the size of a large cat that looked like a cross between a rat and a boar. Its body was shaped like a miniature hog, with four stocky legs and a rotund overweight body, yet it had thick fur, a long rats tail and paws with long clawed digits on paws instead of cloven feet. It even snorted and snuffled like a hog, munching on that large flower bush and quickly consuming it.
Tao Ba seemed completely at ease in this twisted jungle, walking past the creatures without a care in the world. The beasts quickly ran from him, escaping from the little boy like theyd seen a ghost. Soon the boy and the floating cage reached a lake. A huge waterfall was flowing in front of them, many exotic fish and other beasts were lounging around the rocks beside the water.
Tao Ba seemed unaffected by the trick and gave the huge Serpent another shake, waving it around like a thick rope. Then he placed its head on the ground and stepped on its neck to pin it down. Just like in the past a wave of energy spread from his hand and swept through the Serpents body before returning to his palm.
You have enough energy, you just need a little shock.
Tao Ba rubbed his palms together for a few seconds like he was warming his hands. Then he spread them apart slightly and spit on them, rubbing his hands together again and then suddenly slapping both dirty hands against the Serpents head. Slapping it on either temple and simultaneously emitting a burst of power from either hand, the two waves of Qi met in the middle of the Serpents head. Fortunately, the waves of energy violently meeting didnt make the Serpents head explode, it just caused it to pass out.
At that point, the flickering flame of consciousness in that scaled head suddenly burst to life. The Serpent was no longer just a Serpent. Lang Sheng, and more accurately Sage, returned to the world. It was like hed just came out of a deep coma. His body didnt feel groggy like hed been sleeping, but his mind was still fuzzy. Tao Ba noticed the Serpents eyes had opened once again and he picked it up, giving it another good shake.
Awake now? Figured Id shake the cobwebs out.
Tao Ba? Is that you? Where am I? What happened?
The kid flicked the tip of Sages nose and chuckled, You died and hatched yourself a new body out of an egg.
