Seizing this rare opportunity, Ji Wuchen thrust his sword at the giant python's head, a precise and deadly strike.

The giant python finally couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen sat on the ground, exhausted and panting heavily.

Especially Ji Wuchen, who was already weak and powerless, but had been struggling to hold on with his strong will all along.

Now that the danger has finally passed, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before they could fully recover their strength, a noisy sound came from not far away.

"Look! There seems to be some movement over there!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen exchanged a glance, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. They struggled to support their exhausted bodies and looked warily in the direction of the sound.

A group of strangers dressed in strange and unusual clothes were slowly approaching in a small boat. The leader held a long spear and had eyes as sharp as a hawk.

"Who are you?" Ye Ying shouted, her voice tinged with wariness.

The other party did not immediately respond to his question, but looked them up and down before fixing his gaze on the dead python's body.

"We went through so much trouble to find this python, and you dared to kill it!" The leader shouted angrily, his eyes wide.

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen instantly realized that this group of people were most likely after the giant python. They couldn't help but secretly groan in despair. They thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief after getting rid of the python, but they never expected to encounter new trouble.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry! This python suddenly darted out and attacked us. We had no choice but to kill it!" Ye Ying said, trying to explain what had happened to the group of people opposite her.

Unfortunately, the people opposite clearly didn't want to hear Ye Ying continue rambling: "Shut your stinking mouth!" one of them shouted at the top of his lungs, "Today, neither of you will leave here alive!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people jumped off the boat and brandished all sorts of weapons, rushing menacingly towards Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen!

Seeing the enemy approaching menacingly, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen dared not be careless in the slightest and quickly dodged to the side.

Although they were both exhausted, their extensive combat experience allowed them to regain their footing and launch an effective counterattack in no time.

Ye Ying's figure was elusive, moving back and forth among the enemies like a ghost; while Ji Wuchen's swordsmanship was fierce and sharp, each strike forcing back an enemy who tried to get close.

The two cooperated perfectly, complementing each other so well that they fought the opposing team to a standstill, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

However, given the superior numbers of the enemy, as time passed, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen gradually fell into a disadvantageous position and were suppressed by the enemy.

Seeing this situation, Ye Ying couldn't help but feel anxious. If the fight continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just then, Ye Ying caught a glimpse of a boulder not far away out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.
