Chapter 357 My Home is Gone! Xia Zhining patted her chest: "Don't panic, we have the Little Pig Tank!"
"If the python really wants to eat, we'll twist the accelerator, turn around, and run away. We'll make sure it doesn't even get a whiff of our exhaust fumes!"
The wild boars nearby instinctively shrank their necks when they heard the word "python".
After all, no one wanted to be treated like a piece of meat delivered to their door, but after looking at their strong companions, they regained their courage.
They huffed and puffed, encouraging themselves: "That's right! That long, old sixth pig always likes to ambush us. We're afraid of him in a one-on-one fight, but now we outnumber him and our iron hooves will trample him down. Let's see if he dares to move!"
We must not lose our composure in front of Expert Xia!
So Xia Zhining and her group set off in a flurry, and guided by Fog Fang and the Serpent Eagle, they found the reticulated python's temporary hideout.
In a sheltered rock hollow, a large, triangular snake head covered with fine scales was buried under a few withered leaves, seemingly trying to hide itself.
But the latter half, several meters long and covered with ornate net-like patterns, is brazenly exposed, coiled around the rock.
Boss Crow, perched on a treetop, commented sharply: "Whoa! This big guy, why is he acting like an ostrich, only concerned with his own head and not his rear!"
Xia Zhining observed carefully and explained, "Wild reticulated pythons are actually quite homebodies."
"I like to find a cave or a rock hollow and curl up completely inside it; that's when I feel safe."
"Judging from the way it's hiding... it's probably lost its original home and hasn't found a suitable new place yet, so it has to make do temporarily, which is why it seems particularly anxious and insecure."
As if to confirm her words, the reticulated python sensed the approaching movement and suddenly raised its head from the dead leaves, its cold vertical pupils instantly locking onto Xia Zhining and Boss Ya.
It slowly opened its massive jaws, revealing sharp, white, barbed teeth, and emitted a threatening, low hiss from its throat:
[Oh? A little two-legged creature that just showed up at your door, and a black coal bird?]
[It smells...quite fresh and tender! Perfect for filling my stomach!]
Xia Zhining was prepared and didn't wait for it to fully assume an attack posture.
With lightning speed, she pulled a specially prepared, fragrant piece of meat from her bag and skillfully and precisely tossed it into that gaping maw.
Reticulated Python: "...?"
It reflexively closed its mouth, its huge head somewhat bewildered by the strange-tasting foreign object that suddenly appeared inside.
I chewed it unconsciously...
Then, chew, chew, chew...
The chilling killing intent in his bright yellow vertical pupils was quickly replaced by shock and bewilderment at the thought, "What kind of divine delicacy is this?!"
[……Um? ]
It swallowed it, smacked its lips, and its ferocious aura inexplicably weakened by three points.
But to maintain its apex predator pride, it forced a low growl: [That's all? Not even enough to fill a tooth gap! Don't think you can buy me off with such a paltry sum!]
[I'll eat you all as usual!]
It paused, its massive body unconsciously scooting forward, its tone revealing longing and... a hint of grievance?
[...Unless you give me more!]
[Of course! This is absolutely not because I'm greedy!]
It immediately raised its head, trying to regain its dignity, [It's all those damned two-legged beasts' fault on the mountain!]
