The group stood there, bewildered, none of them daring to suggest going back to check.

They were afraid of attracting a group of others to beat them up.

Chen Yu glanced at Shen Zhiyi cautiously, and said weakly, "Sister, how about... how about we go back and take a look?"

"Walk!"

The group had only walked a short distance from the swamp when they saw the black insects already crossing it.

I don't know when, but I've already started fighting with a giant golden python.

Several people hid under the ghost-faced tree nearby, quietly observing the situation.

Many black insects were crushed to death by the golden python.

But more insects came from the other side of the swamp.

It seems they wanted to kill the giant golden python directly.

But are they capable of provoking the giant golden python?

The scales on the golden python's body were a major headache for the black insects. They couldn't do anything to the python and could only try to squeeze through the tiny gaps in the scales to tear at its flesh.

The golden python also loathed these dead insects. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't fire-elemental, it would have burned them to ashes.

The giant python rolled around on the ground, crushing the insects that crawled onto its body.

"Come on, let's go up and help kill those bugs." Shen Zhiyi took out a torch, stood up, and prepared to walk over there.

"ah?"

Others are a bit confused; what's going on here?

Should they go?

Chen Peng didn't care what they thought, and he took out a torch and followed them.

Shen Zhiyi took out some wood from her backpack, lit it with a torch, and then threw it into the pile of insects.

The pungent smell of burning insects immediately wafted over.

it works!

The golden python glanced at them and then worked even harder to kill the insects.

After throwing several burning pieces of wood, the black insects stopped rushing towards them.

They seemed to be hesitating about whether to come over and kill them.

Shen Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, manually crafted a large bundle of wood, and negotiated with the giant python.

"Big brother, can you light this on fire and throw it over there?"

The giant python thought for a moment, found it feasible, and nodded.

Chen Yu and the other three were stunned. Could this really be happening?

Shen Zhiyi lit the bundle of wood and stuffed it into the giant python's mouth.

The giant python, carrying a piece of wood in its mouth, swam swiftly to the middle of the swamp, then with a flick of its head, it landed directly in the middle of the black worms on the other side.

The black insect never expected humans to be so despicable; it didn't even have time to run away before it was burned to death.

A bunch of insects were burned to death.

The remaining insects lost their will to continue the attack and returned to the Ghost Face Tree.

The pungent smell drifted over on the wind, making people feel extremely nauseous.

The giant golden python swam up and stopped in front of Shen Zhiyi, tilting its head to look at her.

Shen Zhiyi took a step back; she was scared! Why were they staring at her like that?

Where did she get the courage to come up and help it?

The giant golden python wanted to get any closer.

Suddenly, the dried fish broke free from the restrictions of the pet space and ran out.

Back when Shen Zhiyi met Chen Yu and the others, she had already put the dried fish into her pet space.

She doesn't plan to reveal the truth about the dried fish.

The little dried fish stood in front of Shen Zhiyi, its fur standing on end, baring its teeth and howling at the golden python.

"Ouch!" Get lost! She's my master!

"Hiss~" The golden python looked at the little thing in front of it in confusion, not understanding why Shen Zhiyi had made a contract with such a weak little thing.

Little Dried Fish understood the look in the golden python's eyes, and immediately started howling.

"Awooooo!" You know nothing! Don't get involved, and get lost!

Little Fish knows perfectly well; this giant python is after its owner! It wants to steal its keeper!

The golden python glanced at Shen Zhiyi, then at the dried fish, said nothing, turned and entered the swamp, returning to its depths.

Little Fish breathed a sigh of relief when the annoying golden python finally left.

That was close; the zookeeper was almost kidnapped.

Yes, Little Fish is afraid that Shen Zhiyi will abandon such a powerful beast as the Golden Python. That won't do.

The dried fish rushed out and chased the bad guy away.

She turned and jumped into Shen Zhiyi's arms, nuzzling against him affectionately.

Shen Zhiyi was speechless. After the contract was signed, she could roughly understand some of the meanings of the dried fish.

"Zhiyi, are you alright?" Chen Peng felt relieved after the giant python left.

Shen Zhiyi shook her head. "That giant python didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."

Chen Yu and the other three dared not utter a sound, fearing that the giant python might kill them all at the slightest provocation.

"Sister, let's hurry up and go?" Chen Yu whispered.

They had no idea there was a giant golden python in the swamp when they passed by. If they had known, they would never have crossed the swamp!

"Let's go pick the ghost-face flower."

After picking the flowers, they rested on the spot.

There were a huge number of Ghost Face Flowers, and Shen Zhiyi didn't hold back, taking ten boxes of them directly.

Chen Yu and the others happily helped Shen Zhiyi to get the money.

Chen Peng watched them pick the fruit while observing their surroundings.

After lighting the fire, Chen Peng took out the seafood to prepare.

He still had plenty of seafood in his backpack; he could eat his fill.

The dried fish rushed straight to Chen Peng's side and circled around him.

Shen Zhiyi opened three coconuts, one for Chen Peng and one for dried fish.

The dried fish had never tried coconut juice before, and it won them over from the very first sip.

It tastes so good!

He plunged his head right in.
