Chapter 41: Battling the Deepwater Venom Python
Within the pool, the Deepwater Venom Python caused huge waves and ripples as it swam towards Lisa with a terrifying aura. It became harder for Lisa to escape the more frenetic she got, and the distance between the two had already shortened to twenty or so meters.
Fanny had already reached the banks of the pool when she pay no heed to anything as she splashed through the water, rushing quickly towards Lisa like a mermaid. Han Shuo’s speed was even faster. It was like he met no resisting drag in the water as he sped towards Fanny like lightning.
All of Han Shuo’s bodily functions had far surpassed an ordinary person’s since he started practicing magic. When Han Shuo gave it his all, he immediately demonstrated an incredible energy. He had already arrived when Fanny was approaching Lisa.
He reached out with both hands without further ado, grabbing Lisa with one and Fanny’s waist with the other as he quickly said, “Let’s go.”
He had no time or spare thought to feel the smooth tenderness of Lisa and Fanny’s bodies at the moment. His only thought under the panicked circumstances was to quickly vacate the area. His two legs quickly moved through the water like swimming fish. Add to that Fanny’s forceful arms and legs, and the three entwined around each other and swam for the banks of the pool, regardless of anything else.
Except, if it’s only been Han Shuo, he may have really been able to shake off the pursuit from the Deepwater Venom Python. But his speed was greatly affected by the addition of Fanny and Lisa, and it was hard to resume his prior speed. They could only watch as the Deepwater Venom Python grew closer.
Lisa’s screams and sobs hadn’t stopped for a moment. Even Fanny was powerless in this moment, and her face was filled with shock and desperation.
In the pool, even summoning dark creatures to do battle wouldn’t be much use. The level three Deepwater Venom Python had uncommonly thick snake skin. Any ordinary necromancy magic would be unable to stop it. They wouldn’t be able to kill the Deepwater Venom Python with one stroke if they stopped to chant a spell, and they were sure to be tangled up by it and then be eaten without a doubt.
“Wah wah…. what to do, what to do. Are we going to be eaten by it?” Lisa sobbed frantically as her two hands slapped the surface of the water with decreasing strength.
Fanny also didn’t know what to do, and could just watch the Deepwater Venom Python approach ever closer. She couldn’t find a way to hide or escape and could only swim death defyingly.
A resolute expression appeared on Han Shuo’s face after a moment of hesitation. He grabbed Lisa’s right arm and swung her out with all his strength. Lisa’s naked, charming body shot out from the water and flew three meters through the air, straight for the banks of the pool.
The left hand that had been wrapped around Fanny’s waist suddenly pressed down on her beautiful buttocks. Han Shuo had already pushed out forcefully before she had a chance to scream, and he gave the fast swimming Fanny a hand. Her speed abruptly picked up as she shot towards to the banks like a spear.
“Hurry and go!” Han Shuo roared explosively and quickly turned his head around, facing down the Deepwater Venom Python alone.
“Bryan, Master Fanny, you have to save Bryan!” Lisa’s desolate cry of astonishment sounded out from afar.
“Hurry and go on shore LIsa. Only then can we help Bryan!”
The look Han Shuo’s face was cold and harsh at this point. He tightly clenched the dagger in his hands and could only watch as the Deepwater Venom Python started tangling around him.
Surprisingly, Han Shuo didn’t retreat, but moved forward instead. He actually dashed out quickly before the Deepwater Venom Python’s tail had tangled him, and made for the Python’s head.
Han Shuo knew that as fast as he could swim in the pool, he would still be unable to race against the Deepwater Venom Python. Now that it was tightly against him, wanting to pay attention to nothing else and just seek to escape would be a death sentence. The Python’s skin and flesh were durable and strong, with soft skin and flesh only around its neck. Close combat was the only way to get out of this alive.
The Deepwater Venom Python most likely didn’t anticipate Han Shuo would attack rather than run, and so when the enormous tail came to tangle him, it only swung around in a rather large arc but didn’t touch Han Shuo.
The dark green eyes flashed as the Python seemed to jeer at Han Shuo’s ignorance. A mist of dark green smoke sprayed out directly towards Han Shuo from its heavily fanged, bloodthirsty mouth as it lifted its neck.
“Bryan, be careful of the smoke it sprays. The smoke has a slow paralysis toxin and will cause your body to stiffen up, and finally become immobile.” Fanny called out loudly at this moment to remind Han Shuo to be careful of the dark green poison mist that the Python was spitting out.
Han Shuo startled in horrified shock as his quickly moving body held a breath and hastily dived into the waters. He used the pool’s clear waters to discern where the Python was and rushed in that direction.
Avoiding a swing of the Python’s tail again halfway through, Han Shuo directly traveled to the area beneath the Python’s neck. Han Shuo’s body and the dagger in his hand thrust out through the water at the same time, and the dagger shone with a cold light as it traced a silver line through the moonlit sky, stabbing fiercely towards the soft flesh in the Python’s neck.
The dagger sank up to the hilt with a puncturing sound and blood splurted out afterwards. It was accompanied by a ghastly wail from the Deepwater Venom Python as it twisted its neck. Its enormous body started twisting and turning crazily as well.
Han Shuo was taken aback and quickly yanked out the dagger, pressing down his right palm onto its neck. The red flame of the “Mystical Glacial Spellfire” flashed once and it landed into the Python’s neck in the blink of an eye.
