With the appearance of this giant iron whip, Wu Tianxiang and others who knew the situation quickly pulled the people nearby away from the area as much as possible.
On their way back, they had witnessed the power of the giant iron whip. In order to get used to it as soon as possible, Si Cheng would find an open space to practice for a while every morning and evening on the way back.
At first, everyone thought that it would not be easy to swing this whip, but who knew that in Si Cheng's hands, this heavy iron whip seemed to have a life of its own, leaving a deep mark wherever it went with his swing.
With daily practice, from initial unfamiliarity to eventual perfect harmony between man and whip, everyone truly felt its power.
Not to mention the grasslands that were leveled, even the hard stones could only turn into powder instantly when they touched this big iron whip.
Although Yunqi practiced along with them, she couldn't even wield the small steel whip properly, perhaps due to a lack of strength or talent. After repeated failures, she had no choice but to give up.
Later, the villagers were envious of his ease in wielding the whip, and some couldn't resist trying it themselves. But they couldn't even lift the handle of the big iron whip, let alone swing it.
Hou Yunhai and his companions didn't know why their friends were pulling them apart. Although they were puzzled, their years of experience together meant they didn't resist and obediently moved away.
Once everyone had moved a certain distance away, Si Cheng swung his iron whip, making a flourish in the air, and then slammed it down hard on the vital spot of the python that was rolling around closest to him.
The destructive power of the iron whip itself, combined with the force Si Cheng added to it, caused the python to curl up tightly into a ball, losing even the strength to roll over.
The giant snake seemed to be under a strong threat, its entire body tensed up, its triangular head appeared flatter and even tilted back, as if it were ready to attack at any moment, and it hissed.
The other uninjured pythons seemed to have received some kind of command, and began attacking the people of Pinghe Village indiscriminately.
Si Cheng kept a close eye on the giant snake's movements, his whip constantly lashing out, striking any python that got too close.
The others weren't having an easy time either. Although they were in a small group, everyone was extra careful when facing these potentially venomous pythons.
Yun Xun had little experience dealing with snakes, and before he knew it, a python had coiled around him.
Before he could react, the python tried its old trick again, constricting its body to squeeze its prey.
Yunxiang and his men were now in a hurry. Although they knew that Yun Xun was also wearing special clothes, nothing was absolute. Several groups of people began to surround and attack the python.
No matter how it was attacked, the python did not slow down its retraction speed at all, and even suddenly exerted force in an instant, trying to end the life of its prey.
But this time it met its match. The scales covering the entire snake's body couldn't withstand the sharp iron nails. When the nails pierced its body, it instinctively tried to spin around in pain. But this time, the villagers, who were prepared for this move, blocked it from both sides with machetes.
Just then, several villagers pounced on it and attacked its weak points with a flurry of blows. The once majestic python was quickly subdued.
With everyone's help, Yun Xun quickly escaped. Looking at his tattered clothes covered in countless iron nails, he thought, "We could apply for a patent for this. With this magic weapon, it would be a godsend if we ever encountered animals that wanted to win by skill."
Although the snakes inside the cave were blocked by the powder, they began to surge out recklessly, perhaps on the orders of the giant snake.
Yun Qi, who was the first to discover this situation, no longer cared about the remaining powder. He opened the outer packaging and grabbed handfuls of powder, throwing them inside.
Stimulated by the powder, many snakes coiled up in a clump.
Si Cheng also quickened his pace and slowly moved closer to the giant snake.
He swung his five-meter-long iron whip into a natural barrier, preventing other pythons that had received his command from getting close to him, and they were even severely injured as a result.
Seeing the pesky pythons in front of him, Si Cheng whipped them repeatedly, striking their vital points and then using their coiled bodies to fling them to the sides.
Regardless of whether the python that was thrown out still showed any signs of life, the surrounding villagers would rush forward and finish it off before they felt at ease.
Finally, after clearing away everything that needed to be dealt with, the giant snake was left to stand against him.
The giant snake flicked its tongue and suddenly spewed a jet of venom at Sicheng.
Si Cheng had anticipated this move, because before they went up the mountain, Yunnan Medicine had told them that this giant snake was highly venomous, and its toxicity was no less than that of a cobra.
With a sidestep and a turn, Si Cheng perfectly avoided the deadly snake venom.
Although his whole body was moving, the whip in his hand was not idle either. As he turned his body, the big iron whip lashed fiercely at its head.
This giant snake looked clumsy, but its movements were very agile. In the instant its head tilted back, it perfectly avoided the whip.
The giant snake was now completely enraged. It hadn't expected that its opponent would not only dare to evade its attacks but would even try to harm it.
It swam swiftly, its foul-smelling mouth wide open, seemingly wanting to teach this human a lesson.
Si Cheng kept swinging his large iron whip, the air crackling with each strike. The man and the snake fought fiercely, each advancing and retreating, locked in a close battle.
Seeing that these people were still staring at the fighting man and snake, Hou Yunhai had to wake them up. "Don't just stand there watching. Everyone, quickly pile the firewood at the cave entrance. Don't let any of the snakes inside escape."
It was only then that everyone realized that the snake hole had to be completely destroyed, otherwise, if this type of snake were to appear again, it would be a disaster for humanity.
They threw handfuls of collected dry wood into the cave, layering it on top of the snake, regardless of whether it would cover it.
The giant snake was focused on its battle and couldn't pay attention to the smaller snakes behind it. Out of control and threatened by the smell of the medicinal powder, the snakes involuntarily surged back into the cave.
The rain was still falling, and although they were trying their best to keep the wood dry, the humidity in the air made it harder for the wood to burn.
Seeing the repeated failures to light the fire, everyone couldn't help but get anxious. If they didn't rely on the fire, how long would it take to deal with all the snakes in this entire cave?
