Chapter 49: Fierce Ice Python

With these clues, Ning Xuan believed that as long as she was willing to spend time, she would be able to find those things!

However, she did not tell the mercenaries the clues, but only took them to a place that matched the description in the clues, and promised to pay them extra rewards as long as they could find what she wanted!

The Blackwater Ice Prison is indeed an S-level dangerous place. In just a few hours, Ning Xuan and others encountered several crises. Chen Nan stood by Ning Xuan's side and blocked three sneak attacks from the black water monster snake for her.

"It's dangerous at night, Miss Ning, let's come back tomorrow!" Rosen, the captain of the seven-member mercenary team, found Ning Xuan and said.

Just now, an A-level member of their team was attacked by a strange snake. He barely managed to escape the attack, but was thrown into the icy lake by a wave and was almost dragged away by the creatures in the lake!

If Ning Xuan hadn't equipped each of them with a retractable light rope with connection points on various large reefs so that they could rescue them in time, the team member would have died!

Chen Nan also felt the danger and was about to speak up to persuade them, but Ning Xuan made a gesture to silence her!

"Buzz..." Ning Xuan heard a clear chirping sound, like the singing of birds, or the sound of metal and stone colliding. A hint of joy appeared on her face. She released her perception and searched towards the place where the sound came from. The area she chose was the intertidal zone where the tide rose and fell.

"The water level is rising, Miss Ning, this place will soon be flooded, we have to leave here!" said the team leader who wanted to leave just now anxiously!

Just at this moment, waves more than ten meters high suddenly rose up in the ice lake and slammed towards Ning Xuan. The waves were mixed with sharp ice chips, so urgent and swift that people had no time to react. Chen Nan summoned his supernatural body, the Blue-eyed Golden Eagle, and spread its wings to protect Ning Xuan. Ning Xuan had already found the source of the sound. She stared at the area flooded by the lake, opened her hand, and two black and red vines "whoosh" sank into the lake. Two or three minutes later, she fished out two fist-sized stones as translucent as ice crystals!

Ning Xuan put the stone into the space button and patted Xiao Jin. The supernatural being who was in tune with Chen Nan immediately let go of Ning Xuan. Seeing Ning Xuan jump onto the back of the golden eagle, Chen Nan also sat on it and flew back to a place out of reach of the lake water!

The team leader who was ignored by the two looked at the rising lake water and hurriedly crawled towards the shore!

In the next few days, as Ning Xuan and her team explored deeper into the area, they encountered more dangers. Several team members were injured one after another, and even an A-level team member was bitten by a black water snake and soon fell into a coma due to poisoning. Ning Xuan first fed the man an antidote, and then used the heart-protecting acupuncture method to protect his heart meridian. It took half a day to rescue the man. Because most of the injured were A-level team members, Ning Xuan simply let those A-level team members stay in a relatively safe area, and the two S-level team members with poorer comprehensive combat power stayed to protect them, and the other five with higher comprehensive combat power followed Ning Xuan and Chen Nan to continue to go deeper!

Ten days later, Ning Xuan poured a bottle of potion emitting a strange fragrance into the area that had been arranged in advance. The mercenaries who were hidden in the dark and responsible for pulling the net stared at the lake nervously. After about ten minutes, the calm lake water seemed to boil and roll over. Strong winds blew, huge waves surged, and a black python more than ten meters high rose from the lake and instantly swam to the water area emitting the strange fragrance.

"Pull the net!" Ning Xuan shouted, and an overwhelming white light net suddenly rose from the lake, covering the huge ice python!

This is not an ordinary light net, but a special light net with added poison and sharp blades. Ning Xuan has been planning for a long time. Ice pythons like to eat giant tiger-striped toads. In the past few days, she has been looking for giant tiger-striped toads in addition to looking for mist flowers, blue light lotus and ice crystal jade. Two days ago, she finally found a few, and then extracted the skin sacs and poison sacs of the tiger-striped toads and extracted concentrated toad venom liquid! Ice pythons have no resistance to the taste of toad venom liquid. Besides, ice pythons will not take these humans seriously!

The ice python trapped in the light net struggled violently and instantly threw the mercenary who was pulling the rope into the air. Those mercenaries summoned their superpowers one after another. Three of them had superpowers that were large mutant creatures. One was a giant white bear, another was similar to a giant lizard, and the other one was huge in size, but it was hard to tell what kind of creature it looked like!

The mercenaries pulling the rope quickly found the anchor point as planned and fixed the tail end of the light rope on a solid large rock. The violent struggle of the ice python caused the sharp blade hanging on the net to pierce into the body of the ice python. The pain angered the ice python, and it opened its mouth and roared. A biting cold spread, and the water in the ice lake instantly condensed into ice. Ning Xuan looked at the frost that was rapidly approaching in front of him, while mobilizing special energy and quickly retreating. Just when he felt his body was about to freeze, Chen Nan, who was responsible for controlling the main rope of the ice python, picked up Ning Xuan and took her to a distance, and put her together with the A-level mercenaries.

Ning Xuan was of low level and could not join in the remaining battles. She only knew that she had seven S-level warriors on her side, and had set traps in advance, leading the ice python to a shallow water area full of reefs, which greatly weakened the ice python's ability to control the external environment.

Even so, after four hours of fighting, the battle area was completely unrecognizable, with broken reefs and potholes everywhere, and the entire area was covered with solid ice. Chen Nan and his companions were all injured, and two of them were seriously injured and unconscious. Although the price was huge, in the end, the seven of them worked together to kill the ice python.

Ning Xuan dug out the Ice Python's inner elixir. She had already prepared a special box that could preserve the Ice Python's inner elixir for a short period of time. However, if she wanted to maximize the effect of the inner elixir, it would be better to refine the potion as soon as possible. Because she couldn't afford the expensive Soul-Locking Jade Box, the energy of the inner elixir would gradually dissipate over time!

Ning Xuan first gave the two seriously injured people acupuncture to awaken their minds. After they woke up, she fed them healing medicine. The two were injured too seriously, and even with timely treatment, they would not be able to fully recover in a short period of time!

Although the most precious inner elixir of the giant ice python was dug out, the whole body of the S-level exotic beast is full of treasures, and the top-level fierce ice python in the Black Water Ice Prison is even more priceless. As the employer and planner, Ning Xuan took the inner elixir, and the remaining part was divided equally among the seven S-level warriors who participated in the battle. Chen Nan got a part of the snake meat and the gall of the python. The snake skin, snake teeth, snake scales, and most of the snake meat were distributed to the other six participants! The two seriously injured also received an additional compensation!
