The team members tried to persuade him anxiously, their eyes filled with worry and concern.

However, at that moment, the giant python did not press its advantage. Instead, it slowly twisted its massive body, its scarlet eyes flashing with a chilling light. It was gathering its strength, brewing an even more terrifying attack!

"What...what does it want to do?" A team member pointed at the giant python in terror, his voice trembling.

Ning Yu struggled to lift his head, looking at the terrifying, demon-like python in the distance. A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "It's about to... unleash its ultimate attack..."

The giant python moved slower and slower, but each twist felt like a hammer blow to everyone's hearts, the oppressive feeling of an impending storm almost suffocating. The team members gripped their weapons tightly, their palms sweating profusely. They had never seen their leader so disheveled, nor had they ever felt such a desperate atmosphere.

"Prepare for battle!" Ning Yu's voice was hoarse and deep, yet it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

The team members were alarmed; they knew their leader was fighting desperately. In his current condition, any intense battle could worsen his injuries, or even…

“Leader…” a team member couldn’t help but speak, but Ning Yu raised his hand to interrupt him.

"This is an order!" Ning Yu's tone left no room for doubt. He struggled to his feet, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, blooming into vivid blood flowers on the ground.

The giant python seemed to sense Ning Yu's determination. It stopped writhing, its massive head raised high, a mocking glint flashing in its crimson eyes. The next moment, it opened its blood-red maw, and an even more terrifying energy surge gathered within it.

"Retreat!" Ning Yu roared, enduring the excruciating pain as he once again mobilized the little energy left in his body.

However, at that moment, a red figure rushed to Ning Yu's side like lightning.

"You should take care of yourself first!" Mu Xue's cold voice rang out. A strangely shaped energy gun appeared in her hand at some point, its muzzle flashing a dangerous red light, pointing directly at the giant python.

"boom--"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky as the energy gun fired a blinding red beam, like a shooting star streaking across the heavens, slamming it into the giant python's head.

The giant python let out a deafening roar, its massive body trembling violently, and the energy ball gathered in its mouth dissipated.

“You…” Ning Yu looked at Mu Xue, who was standing in front of him, his eyes filled with shock.

Mu Xue didn't turn around. The energy gun in her hand kept spitting out tongues of fire, completely drawing the giant python's attention to herself.

"Hurry up and recover," Mu Xue said without turning her head, "I can't hold out for long against this behemoth..."
