Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Python (Seeking Follow-up, Monthly Ticket)

"Hmm! Tastes good!"

Taking a bite, it was all white meat, few bones, and very delicious.

Li Yunjing was very satisfied. With a few quick bites, he devoured the entire big fish, leaving nothing behind.

At night, Li Yunjing did not sleep but instead sat cross-legged on a branch, quietly meditating and cultivating.

"Chirp chirp... Krr krr..."

Around him, only the insects in the grass were making clear sounds.

As the night deepened, everything around him returned to silence.

Not even the sound of a mosquito could be heard.

"Hmm?"

Li Yunjing’s eyes slightly narrowed, his body maintaining the meditative position, but he was already on high alert, ready to spring up at a moment’s notice to unleash a swift and fierce attack!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, there came the sound of something moving through the grass and trees.

The sound drew nearer and nearer, heading for the large tree where Li Yunjing sat.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As it got within thirty feet, a foul wind blew over, causing flowers and trees to sway and numerous leaves to fall.

Li Yunjing sealed his mouth and nose, stopping his breath.

The vile wind carried a putrid stench, making it hard to bear.

"Hiss..."

A low hiss sounded as something crawled up the tree trunk.

"Beast!"

Li Yunjing’s eyes suddenly snapped open, shining like stars in the night.

The "Cold Star Sword" was activated with mana, slashing down at the creature below!

It was at this moment that Li Yunjing saw it clearly.

The thing that had snuck up on him was a giant python.

The python’s body was as thick as a small basin, its glossy body winding up the tree, estimated to be over ten yards long. Its massive jaws could swallow a cow in one bite.

"Clang..."

Li Yunjing’s strike on the serpent’s head sparked as if hitting metal, revealing the head’s astonishing hardness.

Li Yunjing was slightly shocked, the recoil causing his hand to go numb.

"How is this thing’s head as hard as iron?"

The snake continued its biting advance, leaving Li Yunjing no choice but to leap from the tree.

"Roar..."

The giant python roared, like a flash of lightning, shooting down from the tree.

"Snap snap snap!"

Numerous branches and leaves were broken by its immense power, shaking the entire tree.

Suddenly, a mound of soil was turned up at the tree’s roots.

The massive root system was uprooted by the python’s force.

"This beast is incredibly strong!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but gasp. He was immensely glad to have avoided a direct confrontation with the beast.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

At this moment, the python opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, its tongue flicking in and out. Its eyes gleamed with a deadly light, preparing to launch a killing blow at Li Yunjing!

Man and python faced off three feet apart. Li Yunjing shut off his sense of smell due to the overwhelming stench from the python’s mouth.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The python began to move, shifting positions in front of Li Yunjing, occasionally lunging its head forward to probe, searching for the best moment to attack.

Li Yunjing steadily retreated, observing the python’s body.

The python’s body was covered in hard scales, seemingly without any weak points.

This made Li Yunjing hesitant to strike.

Even the "Cold Star Sword," a high-grade magical artifact, couldn’t harm it, making Li Yunjing extra cautious.

After a quarter-hour standoff, the python grew impatient, its body moved, lunging at Li Yunjing with its jaws wide open.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The python’s movement generated a gust of wind, toppling countless small trees. Dozens of uprooted trees were now crashing toward Li Yunjing.

"Damn! This creature has become a spirit, showing signs of developing innate divine techniques!"

Li Yunjing was astonished. To be safe, he retrieved a "Vajra Talisman" from his storage bag, unleashing it to form a large golden bell that encased him.

Then, he shook out three "Flame Talismans," summoning three fire snakes that lunged toward the trees and python.

"Hiss..."

The python seemed to recognize the danger, twisting its body to dodge the fire snakes. However, the fire snakes relentlessly pursued.

This enraged the python, causing it to hiss loudly again.

"Pfft..."

Suddenly, the python opened its mouth, spraying a pale green liquid at the flames!

The stench was now mixed with a dizzying poison.

The flames sizzled upon contact with the green liquid, forming an eerie green smoke.

"Poison!"

Li Yunjing was startled. Flipping his wrist, he took an "Antitoxic Pill" from his storage bag and swallowed it.

At this point, the python seemed completely enraged, emitting terrifying screeches, lifting its upper body and continuously spraying green liquid at Li Yunjing.

"What a fierce beast!"

Li Yunjing repeatedly dodged, circling the python, until he focused on the area below its belly, where there were no protective scales.

"Cold Star Sword" stabbed repeatedly, its sharp sword qi creating seven or eight blood holes in the python’s belly.

The python roared in pain, lowering its body to protect its soft spot, but the flowing blood made it appear weakened.

"Heh, so you have a weak spot too!"

Wounding the python, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief. No longer as worried as before, he continued to circle the python, attacking with sword qi, preventing the python from tending to its wounds.

Soon, the ground was stained a dark red with blood.

"Earth Spike Talisman!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yunjing finally used his trump card, igniting three "Earth Spike Talismans" one after another.

Three bursts of light merged into the ground.

The python sensed something amiss, though it did not understand the nature or source of the danger stemming from Li Yunjing’s talisman.

Not wanting the python to escape, Li Yunjing intensified his attacks, striking at the python’s eyes with the "Cold Star Sword Technique."

The python knew the danger and had to close its eyes, using the scales on its eyelids to shield itself!

"Roar..."

Suddenly, the giant python sprang up from the ground, leaping a full ten feet into the air!

Its underbelly was already a bloody mess.
