Chapter 90

"Could it be dead?"

Dong Jie couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Uncle Jing, didn't you say that the three-inch spot is the cervical vertebra? Could the leopard have broken the python's cervical vertebra?"

The massive body of the python lay motionless on the ground, and the deep scratch marks, about twenty to thirty centimeters below its head, were still oozing blood.

Dong Jie felt that even if the python had a strong vitality, such injuries would still be fatal, and it might already be dead.

In that case, what they needed to guard against now was the leopard-like creature.

The thing was so fast that human eyes couldn't keep up, and if it attacked them, no one would be able to withstand it.

"Don't rush, wait a bit longer. If it's really a supernatural creature, it won't die so easily."

Jing Shizhen shook his head. They were far enough away that speaking in low voices was fine, as long as they didn't let the python sense their body heat.

Time passed, and Su Xiaofan and the others noticed that the bleeding from the python's head had stopped. This thing was indeed not dead, and its injuries were even improving.

"It moved." Suddenly, the python's body trembled, and its massive body began to move slowly, heading towards the well it had come from.

"This guy is trying to escape!" The python's actions made it clear to everyone what it was trying to do.

In such an open space, the python was no match for the leopard-like creature. Its large size was a disadvantage, and the python, skilled at constricting, couldn't wrap around the other creature.

"That leopard is also coming out."

As the python moved, the leopard-like creature also began to move, leaving several more claw marks on the python's body.

However, this time the python didn't thrash or try to resist. It only protected its vital areas with its head, not even attempting to defend its body from the attacks.

Su Xiaofan and the others could see that the python was determined to hide in the well.

But the rolling had left it about ten meters from the well, and during this distance, the python endured seven or eight attacks from the leopard.

"If this thing hides in the well, none of us will be able to do anything about it."

Seeing the python's actions, Jing Shizhen frowned.

The well opening didn't look very large, but who knew if it led to some underground river. If the python hid inside, even if they blew up the well, they wouldn't hurt it.

Leaving such a menace here, even if Jing Shizhen could solve the spatial rift problem, Dong Jie's resort would be in trouble, as no one knew when this thing might come out again.

At this moment, the python's head had already entered the well, and its massive body outside was like a live target, being attacked fiercely by the creature.

The python's body was too large, and its scales provided some defense. Although the leopard-like creature left huge wounds with each attack, it couldn't kill the python.

Watching the leopard-like creature attack the python's body, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but say, "These two must have a deep-seated grudge, otherwise they wouldn't keep attacking each other."

Jing Shizhen observed the situation below, and as the python was about to escape into the well, he hesitated, fearing that if they went down, the leopard-like creature would become hostile.

Just as Jing Shizhen was indecisive, a change occurred below.

The python, which seemed to have its head already in the well, suddenly shot out from the well, its mouth wide open, and it turned to bite the leopard-like creature that was lying on its neck.

Although the python's movement was hidden and quick, it was much slower compared to the leopard.

As the python's head shot out, the leopard reacted and leaped onto a tree about ten meters away.

At this moment, an unexpected event occurred. The python's tail, which had been hanging limply on the ground, suddenly lashed out, blocking the leopard's escape route.

"Ahh!"

The leopard, caught off guard, was hit squarely by the tail, let out a惨叫, and was thrown ten meters away, crashing into a large tree.

"Damn, this python is too cunning."

The python, which seemed to have given up resistance, suddenly delivered a fatal blow, leaving Su Xiaofan and the others on the slope speechless.

Although the leopard's attacks were strong, its defense was not. When the python's tail hit it, Su Xiaofan, who was about fifty meters away, could hear the sound of bones breaking.

"Both are injured!"

Seeing this, Jing Shizhen's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xiaofan, go down and attack the python's three-inch spot!"

As he spoke, Jing Shizhen leaped from the high slope.

"Are you crazy to jump from such a height?"

Looking at the height of the slope, Su Xiaofan pulled back his leg. What a joke, it was over twenty meters, about seven or eight stories high.

Going around would take too long, so Su Xiaofan sat on the vine-covered slope and slid down. Although not as fast as his master, it was definitely quicker than going around.

By the time Su Xiaofan reached the yard, which was now a ruin, Jing Shizhen was already engaged in a battle with the python.

To give Uncle Jing some face, it was called a battle, but in reality, Jing Shizhen was using his agility to avoid the python's attacks.

The python's movements were actually very quick, and despite its large size, it was not clumsy.

However, after being attacked by the leopard-like creature, its body was covered in wounds, and some areas seemed to have injured bones, affecting its movements.

Jing Shizhen was very cautious, not only avoiding the python's head but also being wary of its tail. The leopard was a recent example, and a slight mistake could lead to a fatal counterattack.

"Can this kill the python?"

Seeing his uncle's situation up close, Su Xiaofan was speechless. Uncle Jing was only able to defend, not attack.

Su Xiaofan didn't think that even with his help, they could kill the python.

Of course, he had to act, as he had never been afraid in a fight.

Seeing the intense battle between the python and his master, Su Xiaofan quietly moved to a position about ten meters away.

Raising his right palm, Su Xiaofan instantly released a palm thunder, which hit the python's head with a loud bang.

The python, which was about to attack Jing Shizhen, was stunned by the palm thunder, but Su Xiaofan's attack did little more than that.

"Master, this thing is not afraid of energy attacks."

Su Xiaofan shouted, as his palm thunder, which could break through solid wood doors, failed to even break the python's scales.

"Ouch, sneaky move."

Just as Su Xiaofan was about to attack the python again, he felt a gust of wind from the side and quickly retreated. As he moved, the python's tail swept past him, carrying a foul smell.

"Keep attacking to draw its attention, but be careful."

Jing Shizhen, who was circling the python, seemed to have a plan.

"Can I do it with my small arms and legs?"

Su Xiaofan felt that his master was overestimating him. Although he had suggested killing the python, he was just being young and reckless.

With no choice, Su Xiaofan fired two more palm thunders at the python's body.

To be honest, if he aimed carefully, he could hit the python's head, but with the tail's interference, his attacks were not accurate.

However, by chance, his second palm thunder hit the python's wound, causing a splash of blood and making the python's body tremble.

This made Su Xiaofan the main target, and the python's head, with its mouth wide open, lunged at him.

"Master, I can't hold it!"

Su Xiaofan, lacking his master's agility, could only roll to avoid the attack.

The stones on the ground, hit by the python's tail, flew like bullets, hitting Su Xiaofan and causing him to grimace in pain.

"This thing is trying to constrict me!"

Seeing the python's body coiling around him, Su Xiaofan quickly retreated, continuously firing palm thunders at the python's body, focusing on its wounds.

Although his attacks couldn't break through the python's scales, they still had some effect, causing the python to stiffen with each hit.

This brief stiffness allowed Su Xiaofan to barely escape the python's attacks, avoiding injury.

"Master, I can't go on, my qi is running out."

Another palm thunder was fired, and Su Xiaofan felt his qi in his dantian almost depleted. He could instantly release palm thunders, but he needed qi to do so; otherwise, it would just be a palm slap.

"Damn, I was too careless, this python is not a water snake!"

With his qi depleted, Su Xiaofan's movements slowed, and he tripped on a stone, failing to avoid the python's tail.

Only able to block with his arms, Su Xiaofan felt a powerful force hit him, sending him flying backward. He heard a crack, knowing his arm was likely broken.

Pythons rarely bite humans; as Su Xiaofan was thrown, the python's body coiled around him.

"I'm the tank, where is Master's damage output?"

Su Xiaofan was in a desperate situation, still in the air, and was immediately wrapped by the python's body, being pulled toward its head.
