The dazzling light flickered like a candle in the wind, sending shivers down Ning Yu's spine. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. But he quickly regained his composure, knowing that panic would only hasten his demise. He used the complex terrain to evade the giant python's relentless attacks while keenly observing his surroundings.

"Boom!" The giant python's massive tail swept across, sending debris flying. Ning Yu barely dodged it, secretly relieved. He looked up and saw some huge stalactites hanging upside down above him, like sharp knives.

"Xue'er, buy me some time!" Ning Yu's voice echoed in the empty cave, his tone resolute.

Mu Xue had been closely watching the battle. She understood the meaning behind Ning Yu's words and what it meant. Although her supernatural abilities were almost depleted, she didn't hesitate. Gritting her teeth, she shouted, "Beast, your opponent is me!"

A dazzling ice spike shot through the air, heading straight for the giant python's vital spot. The python, in pain, let out a deafening roar, spraying out a foul-smelling liquid. Completely enraged by Mu Xue, it abandoned its attack on Ning Yu, twisting its massive body, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on Mu Xue, as if wanting to tear her to shreds.

Ning Yu knew his chance had come! He took a deep breath and mobilized all the remaining supernatural power within him. Light gathered in his hand, forming a dazzling sphere. His gaze sharpened as he locked onto the connection point of the stalactites, the most vulnerable part of the entire structure.

"Cut it off now!"

Ning Yu's voice echoed in the empty cave. With his roar, the ball of light in his hand shot out like a meteor, accurately striking the joint of the stalactite.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, the huge stalactite snapped and crashed down on the giant python's head with tremendous force.

The giant python seemed to sense the danger. A cunning glint flashed in its scarlet eyes, and its massive body twisted with incredible speed, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"boom!"

The huge stalactite crashed heavily to the ground, sending fragments flying and dust billowing up.

However, Ning Yu's attack did not completely miss.

Just as the giant python was dodging, a small stalactite fell from the broken section and hit the python's tail squarely.

"hiss!"

The giant python let out a shrill roar, its tail instantly tearing open and bleeding profusely where it had been struck. The intense pain drove it into a rage; its scarlet eyes were fixed on Ning Yu, as if it wanted to tear him to shreds.

Ning Yu's heart sank. He knew that he had successfully angered this behemoth.

The giant python's massive body writhed once more, this time even faster, its target aimed directly at Ning Yu...

"Ning Yu, be careful!" Mu Xue exclaimed, but it was too late to stop her.

Ning Yu felt a stench rush towards him, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but found that his body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move...

"It's over..."

A foul stench swept over him as the colossal python's massive body, like an arrow released from a bow, hurtled towards Ning Yu with overwhelming force. Ning Yu's pupils constricted, his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a suffocating sensation instantly overwhelmed him.

He wanted to dodge, but the excessive consumption of his superpowers made his body feel as heavy as lead, and he could only watch helplessly as the giant python's gaping maw grew larger and larger in front of him.

"Ning Yu!" Mu Xue's exclamation rang in his ears, and he could even feel the trembling and despair in her voice.

At the critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Ning Yu. He endured the excruciating pain in his body, rolled over, and barely dodged the giant python's fatal blow.

The giant python missed its target, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground with a deafening roar that shook the earth. A flash of rage crossed its crimson eyes, and its enormous tail swept across like a black lightning bolt, carrying earth-shattering power.

"Bang!"

Ning Yu was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the giant python's tail. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily onto the rock wall.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Ning Yu felt as if his internal organs had shifted. The intense pain made his vision go black for a moment.

"Ning Yu!"

"team leader!"

Seeing this, the team members were filled with rage and rushed forward without hesitation. However, they were already exhausted, their supernatural abilities depleted. Facing the enraged giant python, their attacks were like scratching an itch through a boot, unable to cause any real damage.

The giant python seemed to sense their powerlessness, a hint of contempt flashing in its eyes. It ignored the ant-like attacks and focused all its attention on Ning Yu.

It slowly crawled towards Ning Yu, each step feeling like it was stepping on Ning Yu's heart, giving him a suffocating sense of oppression.

"It's over..." Ning Yu's consciousness began to blur. He struggled to stand up, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

The giant python opened its blood-red maw, and a foul stench assaulted the senses. Its sharp fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light.

Closer, closer...

Just as the giant python was about to bite Ning Yu, he suddenly noticed that as the python opened its mouth and exposed its throat to attack, the tail that had been injured by the stalactite split open again due to the stretching of the muscles, revealing the bright red flesh inside...

A thought suddenly flashed through Ning Yu's mind...

The python's foul breath sprayed onto Ning Yu's face, the aura of death enveloping him. In his despair, the flash of inspiration in his mind grew ever clearer. The python's weakness, the wound inflicted by the stalactite, was now completely exposed to Ning Yu with each attack!

"Now!" Ning Yu roared inwardly, his survival instinct driving him to exert all his strength, trying to mobilize the last bit of his supernatural power.

However, his overdrawn superpower was like a dried-up spring; no matter how hard he tried to activate it, he couldn't condense a single bit of energy.

"No! How could this be..." Ning Yu closed his eyes in despair. Was he really going to die here?

"Ning Yu! Don't give up!" Mu Xue's shrill cry seemed to come from the distant horizon, filled with deep resentment and grief.

No, he couldn't give up like this! Ning Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the giant python's fatal weakness.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The giant python's gaping maw was almost within reach, and Ning Yu could even see the flesh and blood remaining between its teeth.

At this critical moment, Ning Yu's gaze suddenly became incredibly resolute. He took a deep breath, and with the last ounce of strength in his body, he screamed hoarsely in Mu Xue's direction, "Xue'er, help me..."
