I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

241  Setting Off

Hohoho!

It seemed like the system agreed with him as well…

It was payback time!

There was no question whatsoever about which option he was going to choose, as he could not allow the future the little fatty had told him about to come to pass.

Sure, he was stronger now, but with a luck value of 499, who knew what Liu Xiu was capable of. He had to end this threat now!

"System, I choose Mission 3!"

[Ding! Host has successfully selected a mission option. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]

'Liu Xiu! I'm coming for you!'

'Sit tight, and wait for Papa to relieve you of your head!'

After that, Wang Mang left the cave in a good mood. However, when he appeared outside, he realized how eye-catching his glowing red body was in contrast with the dense green foliage of the forest.

Fortunately, he then realized that he could somewhat control how bright he glowed, and how much heat he emitted.

It was all down to his mood. The angrier or more emotional he became, the more intense the changes on his body were.

Therefore, like an actual snake, Wang Mang just had to stay cold-blooded and cool to remain low-key.

Now, it was time to act.

"System, use the Tracking Talisman!"

[Ding! The host has successfully used the Tracking Talisman!]

[Ding! Host, please choose your target!]

"The target is my fated enemy, Liu Xiu!"

Moments later, something mysterious and magical happened.

Wang Mang discovered that he could vaguely sense Liu Xiu's exact location and distance from him. He had been expecting the system to display Liu Xiu's location on a map screen or something of the sort, but this worked too.

Wang Mang clicked his tongue in wonder. This system was really advanced! He even wondered if the system was from Earth in the first place.

Then, focusing his attention on the vague feeling, Wang Mang realized that Liu Xiu was in the White Mountains of the Qilin Province.

What was he doing there?

Wang Mang knew about the White Mountains, as he had visited them with his family while he was a human.

There were rumors of a water monster in the White Mountains from early on. Such rumors would have been brushed off in the past, but with the world having become what it was today, Wang Mang knew that it was very likely some sort of demon.

As for how strong it was, he had no idea.

At this moment, Wang Mang had already taken out a map and confirmed his current location. That vague feeling told him that he was a long distance away from Liu Xiu, and the map confirmed this.

He was in the Metal Hill Province, and would have to cross at least three provinces to reach the Qilin Province.

Thus, after some thought, Wang Mang decided to fly there.

With that thought in mind, Wang Mang reverted to his massive form, and his four wings were unfurled.

Each wing was nearly a hundred meters long, and as they flapped, they propelled Wang Mang's huge body into the sky.

In order to avoid being seen, Wang Mang chose to fly at high altitudes, about 10,000 meters in the air. Thus, he began his journey, enjoying the cool wind and the billowing clouds he passed by.

The only damper on this experience was the constantly changing weather due to the fact that the sun and the moon were in the sky together. He briefly pondered about why this was the case, but soon abandoned that futile endeavor. Even knowing the reason behind it would not change anything.

Something worth mentioning was that Wang Mang flew eight times faster than he traveled on ground. Along the way, he passed by several planes in the sky, which was how he figured out how fast he was flying.

(T/N: The average speed of a commercial passenger aircraft is 880 to 926 km/h.)

He felt that at this rate, he would be able to reach the Qilin Province in less than a day.

At this moment, Wang Mang suddenly saw something in the sky ahead.

A commercial passenger plane was in front of him, and had just entered a stormfront covered with dark clouds and lightning.

Then, it was struck repeatedly by lightning and immediately began to burn and emit smoke.

Wang Mang was astonished. Why did strange and unusual things always happen around him?

Was this also related to his luck value?

If nothing unexpected happened, these guys were definitely going to die!
