”Little Han, is it a sacred-blood creature?” Old Huang asked.

Han Sen nodded, saying, ”Yes, it is.”

Han Sen brought out his bow and summoned a Sabertooth-Bee Arrow. Then, he took aim at the giant snake's weakspot.

”Old Huang, ready yourself for a fight.” Han Sen then commanded the party to establish a formation.

Han Sen loosed the arrow. It pierced through the snake's already-shredded flesh and embedded itself entirely within the beast.

The black snake shrieked in agony, and took off after Han Sen. It expelled a black smoke from its mouth, as it went, and it looked terrifying.

”The snake can breathe a horrid mixture of fire and toxic smoke; run!” Han Sen summoned his Dragon-Blood Snake as he ordered them all to fall back.

The two monsters lashed against each other. Although the giant snake had been severely wounded, it was still more formidable than its new opponent. Without wasting a second, it slithered its way around the Dragon-Blood Snake to ensnare and choke it. So powerfully did it seize Han Sen's creature, it looked as if its entire body would snap in two-seconds-flat.

The Dragon-Blood Snake squealed in pain as the black snake rotated its head, nearing the mouth of its captured foe. Then it opened its venomous maw wide and cast a gust of toxic smoke down the Dragon-Blood Snake's throat.

The Dragon-Blood Snake's muscles relinquished their strength, and it collapsed as if it were drunk. It wished to escape, but it longer had the strength to even attempt to free itself.

Han Sen returned the Dragon-Blood Snake to the Sea of Soul before anything even more foul befell it.

Whoosh!

Another Sabertooth-Bee Arrow was fired, and it drilled through another of the giant snake's wounds.

The black snake was whipped into a frenzy by Han Sen's bold attacks, and it lashed towards him with a mouth that breathed fire like a geyser.

The forest around him was turned to cinders, and charred branches cascaded to the ground in a chimney-red, halloween-orange haze. If a portion of the once-green region had been spared the fury of the snake's fire-wreathed vengeance, it soon fell prey to the fierce disintegrating properties of the beast's toxic smoke.

Han Sen pranced quickly in retreat, weaving his way past trees and bushes, using what he could as momentary cover.

His sacred-blood armor was able to repel the fire and toxic smoke, thankfully. All he had to do to remain alive was not breathe in the smoke himself.

Using the bushes, Han Sen evaded the snake's enraged attacks. And after each successful dodge, he fired an arrow at another of the snake's wounds.

If Han Sen had not gotten as strong as he was, he wouldn't have been able to keep his head above water and remain toe-to-toe with the foe.

Still, the sacred-blood creature was scary. And despite the barrage of arrows Han Sen fired, and the shrieks of pain they drew from the snake, they didn't actually slow the creature down. It still came for Han Sen as madly as ever. He could only be thankful the snake had already been injured so severely; had it not, Han Sen wasn't sure if he could've handled it.

The black snake was strong, and it continued as it was for quite some time. But eventually, as all things did, the blood loss took its toll. The creature began to shiver and shake, and its attacks lost the precision and finesse they once had.

Han Sen, braving the inferno, took the opportunity to run loops around the snake. He fired arrow after arrow, each striking the wounds of the giant snake.
