Chapter 84 Roasted Giant Python
Wood chips flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Taking advantage of the system's sign-in reward, Lu Nange darted through the chaos, heading straight for the giant python's vital spot.
"Cover Nan Nan!" Chi Yanzhou immediately understood, and the lightning in his hand targeted the giant python's orange vertical pupils, forcing it to hiss and turn its head to dodge.
Lu Beiye's golden throwing knife relentlessly stabbed at the python's body.
Chi Yi knelt on one knee and pressed his hands heavily to the ground. Countless vines burst out of the soil and wrapped around the giant python's body like living creatures, trying to suppress its struggle.
Lu Xici and Gu Wan attacked simultaneously, and a crimson fireball smashed into the giant python's bloody wound, instantly filling the air with the pungent smell of burnt blood.
However, the giant python went berserk, its scales bristling, and it managed to break free of the vines.
The snake's head slammed into Luo Xingyou and He Zhuo's defensive shield!
"Bang--!"
The shield shattered, and He Zhuo, Luo Xingyou, Ji Xian, and Wen Qing were thrown away by the force like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground.
The giant python's scarlet forked tongue flickered, poised to devour its nearest prey—"Beast, look this way!"
It turned out that Lu Beiye was worried about Lu Nange and wanted to distract the giant python. His small figure had climbed onto the snake's body without anyone noticing.
Two golden throwing knives flashed with a cold light in his hands and stabbed fiercely into the gaps in the giant python's scales.
The giant python, in pain, hissed and twisted its massive body wildly, turning around and crushing towards Chi Yanzhou and the others.
This twist, however, completely exposed its vital spot to Lu Nange's view.
Now!
A cold glint flashed in Lu Nange's eyes, and she leaped up by stomping her toes on the tree trunk.
Three compressed wind blades condensed at her fingertips.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The wind blade pierced precisely to a seven-inch mark, spraying blood mist!
Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Nange lunged forward, using wind blades to cut through the wound and pull out a crystal core that glowed with orange light.
The giant python let out a dying howl, its body twisting and writhing wildly.
Lu Beiye clung tightly to the snake's body, refusing to let go despite the violent jolting that sent him tumbling from side to side.
"Ano!"
"Ano!"
Lu Nange and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they ran wildly towards Lu Beiye's direction.
Only when the massive body gradually went limp did Lu Beiye release his grip as if all his strength had left him, and leap into Lu Xici's open embrace.
"Are you alright?" Lu Xici asked anxiously as he examined Lu Xici's body.
Lu Beiye struggled to jump down, patting his chest: "I'm fine!"
Lu Nange, who had just leaped down from the snake's body, strode over and lightly tapped his forehead with her finger: "Showing off."
On the other side, after confirming that Lu Beiye was unharmed, Chi Yanzhou and the others immediately rushed towards He Zhuo and the others who had been blasted away.
The group helped each other gather around Lu Nange.
Wen Qing took the bucket of crystal cores handed to him by Lu Nange.
As the crystal core gradually dimmed, her complexion regained its color.
She immediately raised her hand to treat everyone, and a shimmering white light slowly flowed from the wounds.
"What a pity, so much meat, we can see it but can't eat it!" He Zhuo had just regained his energy when he stared at the giant python's corpse and swallowed hard.
"Mutant beasts with crystal cores have flesh containing a high concentration of corpse poison. After consumption, the probability of zombification within 72 hours is as high as 98.8%..." Lu Nange lightly tapped her temple, recalling the setting she remembered from the first book, and slowly spoke it out.
He Zhuo withdrew his hand, which had already touched the snake scales, and took several steps back, frantically wiping his palm on his trouser leg.
Lu Nange was trying to put the giant python into her spatial storage, but found that there was no response.
She stroked her chin thoughtfully: "As expected, like zombies, creatures containing crystal cores cannot be stored in the spatial storage after death."
"What a pity..." she sighed, lightly kicking the snake's body. "If this weight could be stored away, next time we encounter a horde of zombies, we could just throw it like a bowling ball and it'd probably hit a home run, right?"
Chi Yanzhou: "If we can't eat it, this giant python is too big to handle. Why don't we just burn it?"
Lu Nange raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight: "Okay, but there are trees on both sides."
She turned to He Zhuo and Ji Xian: "He Zhuo, Ji Xian, why don't you use earthen shields to keep the fire at bay, and then put it out and leave once it's almost burned down?"
He Zhuo and Ji Xian immediately sprang into action, and two earthen walls, one tall and one short, one thick and one thin, rose up on both sides of the road.
Lu Xici and Gu Wan raised their hands at the same time, and several fireballs roared down on the giant python.
The already scorching weather, combined with the raging fire, forced everyone to retreat.
Lu Nange took out the RV, and everyone hid inside.
The branches on the ground crackled in the fire, the giant python's corpse was gradually consumed by the flames, and a strange aroma of meat wafted through the air.
"Old Ji!" He Zhuo squatted under the shade of a tree, the ice bucket beside him emitting wisps of cool air.
He shouted to Ji Xian, who was sitting opposite him with the same setup, "What if you sprinkled some chili powder and cumin? Wouldn't the snake meat smell amazing then?"
Ji Xian: "...", [Jealousy really makes people lose their minds. What's the point of arguing with He Zhuo's brain!]
Once the giant python was reduced to charcoal, Gu Qi unleashed a high-pressure jet of water from his palm to extinguish the fire.
Ji Xian's face was pale due to excessive consumption of his superpowers.
He Zhuo directly activated his supernatural power, lifting up the soil on both sides of the road and pouring it onto the burning road surface.
"boom--"
Amidst the swirling dust, all the sparks were completely buried.
He Zhuo then used his earth-based abilities to repeatedly compact the road surface until a half-meter-high earthen wall was built.
The two vehicles climbed the earthen slope, kicking up a cloud of dust, and continued speeding towards Shashi.
As we passed the last service area before entering Shashi, the setting sun had already dyed the horizon blood red.
Looking at the sky, the group discussed it and decided to rest at the service area for the night and then enter the city the next day.
The dilapidated service area was in a mess, with shelves overturned and glass shards scattered all over the floor.
The rotting food packaging bags rustled, several shriveled corpses lay on the ground, and a few ragged zombies wandered aimlessly.
Chi Yi and Ji Xianli have been dealt with!
At dinner time.
Remembering that the giant python's crystal core had been absorbed by 'Youyou' again, Lu Nange looked at everyone and said, "I have a use for the two level-three crystal cores I have now..."
Lu Beiye thought to himself, "My sister needs level three crystal cores. I'm still too weak. I need to improve more so I can find more for her!"
"Nan Nan, just take it!" He Zhuo waved his hand dismissively.
Chi Yanzhou: "Okay, then we'll focus on collecting level 3 crystal cores from now on!"
"Brother, you should exercise more." Lu Xici ruffled his sister's hair. "I'll find you more level-three crystal cores."
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, without you, none of us might survive. Take it if you need it..."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and Gu Qi and the others nodded in agreement.
Lu Nange's eyes brightened slightly: "Then I won't stand on ceremony, it really is useful. I'll give it to everyone when I find more level-three crystal cores!"
