C142 (1/2)
The tail kept hitting the big trees on the left and right, making Mo Zixiao dizzy. His already suffocated chest felt more and more suffocated. A wave of nausea kept rolling in his stomach.
The machete was thrown out of his hand in the process of colliding. For a moment, he could only helplessly raise his fists and use all his strength to punch the giant python's body.
However, to such a huge python, such strength was no different from scratching one's boots. It was completely useless.
Xia Xinxin was scared out of her wits. She immediately unsheathed the dagger at her waist and rushed forward.
Dong Trang quickly pulled her back, ”You're crazy!”
She gritted her teeth. ”I can't just watch him die!”
As he spoke, he prepared to pounce again.
Dong Trang pushed her to the ground, raised the crossbow in his hand, and aimed at the python's head.
With two ”pu pu” sounds, it pierced right into the giant python's eye, causing blood to flow down.
The python felt pain, and its tail loosened. Mo Zixiao fell from midair, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Without enough time to catch his breath, he saw himself falling to the side of the machete and immediately raised his machete to strike.
However, the python that had been rampaging in all directions suddenly lay still on the ground. When it focused its eyes, it discovered that seven to eight arrows had been shot from seven inches away from the python's body!
He was bleeding profusely. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to survive any longer! He weakly threw the machete and sat on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to pant heavily while patting his chest that was rolling with blood.
Dong Trang jumped down from the tree, walked up to the python and pulled out the arrows one by one, and wiped them clean on the grass.
The frightened Xia Xinxin rushed over to Mo Zixiao's side, without asking any questions, she only reached out a hand to caress his back, trying to help him calm down.
Mo Zixiao slowly opened his eyes, gave her a weak smile, and said in a low voice, ”I'm fine.”
Her eyes glistened with tears, but she didn't answer. She just nodded, took some water from her bag, and put it on his lips.
He didn't want to drink it, but knowing that she cared for him and couldn't bear to let her good intentions worry him, he took a sip from her hand.
The water slowly flowed into his throat like a clear spring, making him feel much more comfortable.
He reached out and touched her hair. ”Don't be afraid,” he said hoarsely.
To him, a worried expression on her face was like an effective elixir. However, after a while, she felt that something was wrong with her body. His physical strength was slowly recovering.
After resting for about five minutes, Mo Zixiao held his machete and stood up shakily, walking towards the python.
Xia Xinxin quickly reached out to support him, ”What are you doing?!” It's already dead, so don't worry about it anymore. It's more important for you to rest for a while. ”
Mo Zixiao laughed, ”It took us a lot of effort to kill it, we can't just let it go to waste like this!”
As he spoke, he walked up to the giant python's soft abdomen and cut it down.
Xia Xinxin screamed, and quickly retreated.
He turned his head away from the blood. A fishy scene.
She had never thought that Mo Zixiao, with his noble status, could actually do such a thing.
Suddenly, someone lightly patted her shoulder. She turned her head in astonishment and met the shining eyes of Dong Trang. She lightly said, ”Give me the dagger, I will lend him a hand.” The Giant Python's meat is a great tonic, we really cannot waste it. ”
Xia Xinxin was speechless, but she knew she was speaking the truth, so she handed the dagger at her waist over to her silently.
Because the python was too big and it was already summer and the weather was too hot to store, Mo Zixiao and Dong Trang only took a portion of it.
After cleaning the insides of the python's body, Mo Zixiao picked a large leaf from an unknown tree that was the size of a fan and wrapped it with the leaf, then forced it to move forward.
With Mo Zixiao leading the way, the trap was almost completely avoided.
Just when Mo Zixiao said that they would be able to walk out soon, six people suddenly rushed out from the slope. They held various weapons in their hands and rushed towards them while howling.
Of course, they were not aiming at Xia Xinxin and Dong Trang, but at Mo Zixiao.
They did not know the true relationship between them, so they instinctively thought that they would not stop them. They would even hurt Mo Zixiao with them, because this would reduce a strong enemy together and at the same time vent their anger.
When they saw Xia Xinxin, Dong Trang, and Mo Zixiao joining forces to fight them, they were stunned for a split-second.
Dong Trang and Mo Zixiao, on the other hand, took advantage of their distraction to kill two of them. Xia Xiaoxi, on the other hand, had injured one of them, but not one of them.
