However, at this critical moment, a cunning glint flashed in the giant python's scarlet eyes, and its massive body twisted suddenly with incredible agility...

"Oh no!" Mu Xue exclaimed, her face changing drastically. "Get out of the way! Its target is..."

A blinding flash of light exploded from the giant python's body, sending up clouds of dust and debris. The deafening explosion seemed to tear the ruins apart completely.

As the smoke cleared, everyone looked nervously at the giant python, their hearts pounding in their throats.

The giant python's massive body was covered in horrifying wounds; its charred scales had peeled away, revealing bloody flesh beneath. However, to everyone's dismay, its fatal weak point had only been grazed and had not been seriously injured.

"roar--!"

The giant python let out a deafening roar, like the howl of an ancient beast, filled with boundless rage and pain. Its massive body writhed violently, smashing the surrounding buildings to pieces and sending billowing dust into the air.

"Damn it! Its defense is too strong!"

"Our attacks simply cannot penetrate its scales!"

The team members looked on in despair at the scene before them. They had given it their all, but still couldn't inflict fatal damage on the giant python.

"Sister Xue, what should we do?" A team member turned to look at Mu Xue, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Mu Xue bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Everyone, don't give up! We still have a chance!"

“But… our powers are almost exhausted…” another team member said helplessly.

Mu Xue ignored him and instead looked up at the tall figure not far away.

Ning Yu stood directly in front of the giant python, the long sword in his hand still gleaming with a cold, eerie light. He was like an unshakeable mountain, blocking the giant python and the others.

"Sister Xue, trust me." Ning Yu's voice reached Mu Xue's ears through the mental link, calm yet firm, "I need some time..."

Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to understand something, and a complex look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"what are you up to?"

Ning Yu didn't answer, but just gave her a deep look, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the giant python.

"Ning Yu! No!"
