Chapter 31: Deadly Bait

(Today's same two more, the first more released, passing by friends ask for collections and recommendations, your support is my biggest motivation)

The demonized python has had a very unpleasant time in the past half a month. Twenty days ago, an animal that used to be food broke into its nest and woke it up from its slumber with an attack, it had a bad time.

The python, which had been dominating the underground cave, had not felt pain or injury for many, many years, but the attack of the food made it taste this long-lost taste again. It was extremely smart, and when this food escaped, it keenly sensed the threat from the food, so it didn't chase it out as usual, but who would have thought that this food would stay at the entrance of its lair for twenty days. It had not slept soundly for twenty days with such a threatening being guarding the entrance to the nest, which was unimaginable in its long life.

The snake letter of the demonized python continued to swallow, its bright red tongue explored in the air, and its nostrils inhaled hard, making a hissing sound. That threatening smell, it seems to be gone? Great, you can go back to sleep. The demonized python gently slapped the ground with its tail, making a muffled crashing sound, in order to vent its happiness, after venting, opened its mouth to hold a crystal the size of a human head, and once again lazily lay on the ground, ready to continue sleeping for several months.

――――――――――――――

Pannis, barefoot and motionless, stood motionless outside the hole in the Frost Realm, enduring the biting cold, silently staring at the demonized python as it prepared to fall asleep again. He knew that the vision and hearing of the demonized python were completely decorative, but the sense of smell and touch was extremely sensitive, although he sprinkled a lot of smell covering powder on his body, he could avoid the sense of smell of the giant python, but if he moved too fast or used too much force under his feet, the ground vibration caused by it would definitely not be hidden from the other party, so he just stood steadily, and there was no action.

It wasn't until the python lay on the ground again, except that the snake letter was still lazily and rhythmically stretching, that he relaxed a little, moved slowly to the rock wall with a slight slow movement, and stuck his hands on the rock wall, and after sticking to the rock wall with some small tricks, his arms slowly exerted force, so that his two feet also left the ground, and the whole person just stuck to the rock wall, moving centimeter by centimeter on the rock wall.

Step by step, Pannis slowly moved directly above the python and hung upside down on the top of the cave, silently waiting.

"Hiss", the demonized python seemed to notice something, and raised its neck in confusion, stretched out its tongue and explored in the air a few times, but did not find anything, and then lay down again.

"Whew. Pannis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the python lying back on its stomach again, and for the first time looked at the whole picture of the python from a high vantage point by the light of the luminous moss that no monster in the cave dared to eat.

This giant python is not a very big category among the giant monsters, only more than thirty meters long, and the diameter of the thickest place is only about three meters, of course, it is not very big, it is for the giant monsters that are tens of meters high at every turn, but for the monsters living in a narrow cave environment, it can be regarded as a behemoth, in the underground world, I am afraid that only this python monster can grow to such a size and move freely in most environments.

Although its size is not too huge, the defense of the demonized python is extremely amazing. A layer of steel-solid scales covers the skin, and the scales are smooth and full of metallic color. Under the hard scales, there is a layer of tough thick skin, one hard and one tough, two layers of defense, making the python indestructible, and it is no wonder that indulgence can't beat it. This extremely defensive monster is a big problem for everyone who can move, and indulgence is no exception, and Pannis himself is certainly no exception, and Pannis would never want to provoke such a thing unless it was necessary.

But now is the time when it is necessary.

Seeing that the vigilance of the giant python was getting lower and lower, and the frequency of the snake letter reaching out was getting slower and slower, Pannis inhaled deeply, the light in his eyes skyrocketed, the muscles of his body suddenly tensed, and his legs kicked violently on the top of the rock wall, and the whole body used the force of the legs to kick and fall, from top to bottom, at a very fast speed to the place less than half a meter in front of the giant mouth of the demonized python.

The giant python, which had a keen sense, immediately sensed something unusual, and subconsciously stuck out its tongue to explore the information coming from the wind. The moment its tongue poked out, an ordinary dagger that suddenly appeared in Pannis's hand arrived just in time, and slammed it on the tongue with a powerful impact.

A muffled sound sounded like a bowstring breaking, and a small dagger slashed nearly half of the python's tongue, and black blood fountains polluted by demonic energy shot out like a fountain of black blood, representing the hiss of the python's violent breathing that filled the entire cavern.

With the shock of the dagger hitting his tongue, Pannis bounced back up, folded his hands and knees in the air seven or eight times in a row, and fell back to the ground, clinging to the edge of the rock wall and quietly watching the python that was close to madness. Half of the python's body stood up, and the snake's tail slammed into the ground and rock walls, and the heavy impact shook several caves with a roar, and rubble continued to fall from the top of its head.

As if feeling that the stimulation of the giant python was not enough, Pannis quietly released a little bit of the breath of life. After several people first entered the cave, they sprinkled demonized camouflage powder on their bodies to simulate the breath of demonic energy, in order to hide the aura of living beings on their bodies. After a few days of adventure, the effect of the camouflage powder has passed, but because it has been in an area with relatively dense demonic energy, its body has already been contaminated with a heavy demonic energy, and there is no need to sprinkle camouflage powder to cover himself. But at this time, Pennis deliberately released a little bit of life.

Because of the characteristics of demonized creatures that instinctively hate ordinary creatures, when demonized creatures feel the breath of life, the more low-level monsters will attack each other frantically, while high-level legendary-level monsters like giant pythons can retain a certain amount of sanity. But at this time, the giant python had fallen into madness under the stimulation of severe pain, and its hatred instinct was provoked by the breath of the living being, and it really launched a desperate attack on him as Pannis expected.

The giant python didn't think at all, its mouth opened, and a torrent of freezing gas sprayed from its mouth like a Penis in the corner, and before the freezing gas arrived, a biting chill had already invaded.

In the blink of an eye, the freezing air had reached Pannis, but the next moment, Pannis disappeared in place. The frozen air that lost its target slammed into the wall, and the thick ice armor that was originally shrouded in the wall continued to crack under the impact of the freezing gas, and was frozen again at the moment of cracking, making the ice armor even thicker and harder. The next moment when the freezing gas came, a crystalline one the size of a human head smashed on the ice armor again, and the smashed ice chips flew one after another, and the demonized crystals that were originally held in the mouth were spewed out by the giant python that lost their minds and smashed into the wall along with the freezing gas, but fortunately, the demonized crystals were hard enough and did not shatter.

Pannis's figure, which had risen diagonally upwards before the freezing air came, rose to its highest point, and after a slight pause, a huge tail with a diameter almost exceeding his height was drawn in front of him.

Pannis, however, did not allow himself to be completely suspended as if he had been prepared, and his body was actually very close to the rock wall all the time. At this time, I saw the snake's tail twitching, bowed slightly, and leaned lightly on the rock wall. The ice on the rock wall suddenly shattered under this seemingly slight touch, and Pannis easily changed direction with the force of the impact, and landed steadily on the ground.

After landing, Pannis did not stop for a moment, and stomped his right foot on the ground, and as the ground shattered ice splashed, Pannis disappeared into the entrance to the Frost Realm.

The giant python that had lost its mind had no intention of paying attention to the demonic crystals that it regarded as a treasure at this time, and its unforgettable hatred made it only trace of Pannis, writhing its huge body, and then burrowed into the passage with a speed completely disproportionate to its size, and chased after Pannis.

"Finally chased it out. Sensing the movement behind him, Pannis thought to himself, "With the intelligence of such a high-level monster, it would be really difficult to get away if you don't do this." But what now? Indulge that guy is also a human being, and it would be naΓ―ve to think that such a creature with a sense of smell and perception beyond human knowledge would just lure it away and steal it. Steal what it cherishes most, and as long as it's in an underground cavern, you'll be chased to death. If she is indulged, she can walk away, but Catherine and the others will have to stay in the cave for a while, and when the time comes, they may be attacked by a giant python, and there will be no safety at all. It seems that there is no way, that's all. ”

Pannis, who had secretly made up his mind, didn't know that the faint murderous aura overflowing from his eyes at this time made the low-level monsters nearby flee one after another, and none of them dared to approach.

――――――――――――――――――

"Looks like Pannis succeeded. The swaying figure slowly walked into the python's original lair along the entrance where Pannisy had left, and looked around at the surroundings.

Catherine, who walked in with her, was in no mood to look around at this time, frowning tightly, obviously worried about Pannis's safety.

"Don't be nervous. Catherine, who indulged in a relaxed face and was in danger of nothing: "You, a teammate, are much more capable than you imagined." ”

Catherine looked up at the indulgence: "How do you know?"

"Look there. Indulgence pointed to the bloodstains in the center of the cave that had been frozen in the low temperature: "Look at this amount of bleeding, it's definitely the snake's." Hehe, more than half a month ago, I tried my best to inflict the wound on its body, and the blood that flowed out was not enough for one-tenth of this place. Look at the shape of this bloodstain and think again. ”

"This ......" Catherine was reminded of indulgence and looked at the bloodstains: "The ground is flat, but the blood is gathered together, which means that it is not a scattered wound, there is only one wound?"

"And most likely just one hit. Fang Zong pointed to the blood stains on the ground, her expression was complicated, although she still kept smiling, she couldn't see what she felt in her heart: "Think about it, I'm tired and half dead, in exchange for a few small wounds on its body, and Pannis is just a blow, that's the result." Sure enough, it's someone who can be enthusiastic, Silver Rank? Hehe, this joke is so funny. ”

After listening to the indulgent analysis, Catherine's frowning brows finally relaxed a little: "Let's find something quickly, and leave as soon as we find it." ”

"Don't look for it. Indulgent gaze at a trace of freezing air attack on the wall: "It's over there, go to the place where the demonic energy is the most, the crystals must be there." Let's go, go collect the loot. ”
