Zhu Fanfan tried to peek out and draw the lightning into the space, but when she touched even a little bit, her whole body went numb and she felt like she was being decomposed instantly. Fortunately, she had strong mental power and managed to draw the lightning to the seedling in the space. The seedling seemed to have received some nutrients and happily swayed from side to side.
The second bolt of lightning struck quickly. Zhu Fanfan dared not touch it again. It took her a long time to recover. Seeing the little seedling swaying from side to side as if it were on stimulants, Zhu Fanfan gritted her teeth, pulled the little seedling out, and placed it outside.
She kept her mental energy focused on the little seedling. She watched as the little seedling collected and absorbed the scattered lightning bolts on the ground around it. It didn't wilt at all and even looked full of vitality.
Lightning kept striking, and the seedling had grown more than ten centimeters taller, its roots still firmly planted in the ground. Zhu Fanfan was extremely anxious; it was her precious seedling. As if it knew what Zhu Fanfan was thinking, the seedling easily dug itself out of the ground.
Zhu Fanfan was relieved. The lightning continued to strike, and the little seedling excitedly absorbed it, growing to over twenty centimeters tall. Zhu Fanfan felt no greeting from the heavens inside the tent. Because it had been so long, she was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder gradually subsided. Zhu Fanfan felt that the seedling had reached its limit, so she quickly moved it into her space. The seedling had grown to thirty centimeters, and from the initial two leaves, it had grown to over a hundred leaves. However, it seemed to be asleep, and its leaves were drooping.
The giant python outside was still tumbling in the air, but it had moved to the center of the lake. The lightning bolt struck the python again, and the python managed to catch it. Perhaps due to exhaustion, it plunged into the water, causing huge waves to rise on the lake surface once more.
The thunder disappeared, but then a torrential downpour began, making Zhu Fanfan and his group even more afraid to come out.
Unexpectedly, the giant python emerged, swimming directly to a row of tents, its massive mouth open as if to devour them. Zhuge Qianxing's voice rang out: "Come out and fight!"
A group of people came out in an orderly fashion and took their weapons. Zhuge Qianxing said, "Retreat."
The group quickly retreated, and the giant python lashed out with its tail. Everyone dodged and avoided it. The python attacked again, and everyone dodged once more. Someone on the other side started attacking. The python was still whipping its tail, and its enraged roar carried a mental attack. Everyone quickly used their supernatural abilities to protect themselves and began to fight back. Colorful supernatural abilities danced in the air. The python was hit, and its scales made a piercing metallic clanging sound, but it seemed unaffected and continued its attack.
The group attacked while dodging, holding nothing back. Soon, they began to run out of energy. Zhu Fanfan drew a semicircle in the air, and a virtual bow and arrow materialized. He nocked the bowstring again, and an arrow was formed, shooting straight at the giant python's head. The giant python was stunned for a moment. Seeing that it was effective, Zhu Fanfan began to shoot arrows again.
Zhuge Qianxing saw this and gave the order: "Everyone cover Fanfan and let her shoot arrows to attack with her mental energy."
Zhu Fanfan fired over a dozen arrows, which aroused the giant python. Its roars grew louder, and its movements became chaotic as it began to attack haphazardly. The group launched a counterattack, unleashing all sorts of supernatural abilities upon the python. The python, in pain, roared even louder, its mental attacks indiscriminate, bombarding everything around it. Zhu Fanfan released the golden eagle to buy time; he'd heard that winged creatures were natural enemies of snakes, so it should be somewhat effective, right?
After thinking about it, I decided to release Snow Blade and the little fox as well. The little fox has now been tamed by Snow Blade and is incredibly obedient.
The opponent was, after all, a giant python, which had probably successfully upgraded and now had two horns on its head. It should be a dragon now. Even with several pets working together, they could only inflict a minor scratch on it. Zhu Fanfan's palms were sweating.
Zhuge Qianxing was also uncertain. If they couldn't break through the enemy's defenses, how could they fight? But the fact that it couldn't attack them was also a problem. Suddenly, he said to everyone, "Everyone retreat, retreat as far as possible, stay away from the water."
The group quickly retreated, with the giant python close behind, its tail still lashing out at them. The golden eagle caught the python's eye from above, and the python began to uncontrollably coil up. At that moment, everyone moved in unison, launching their attacks towards the python's eye.
Despite the python's rapid movements, several attacks still landed on its eyes. Zhu Fan continued his mental attacks, and the python slowed down and eventually stopped moving altogether. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Fanfan sensed something was wrong: "We've been fighting it for ages and it hasn't even gotten a scratch. How could it only have this little fighting power?"
Zhuge Qianxing also sensed something was wrong: "Could it be that because they are thick-skinned, their attack power is a little weaker?"
Elder Zhen added from the side, "Could it be that the heavenly lightning just now caused it serious internal injuries, so it doesn't have the strength to attack us? And is it trying to pull us over and eat us to replenish its strength by constantly stretching out its tail?"
We should encourage them to read more books regularly, as they've forgotten some basic common sense. In the future, we need to compile information on these strange and unusual beasts into a book so that everyone can study it.
The sky was already bright, and Manman blurted out, "We've been fighting all night?"
No wonder she was so tired; she had exhausted her supernatural abilities several times. Luckily, she had the pills to keep her going, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Zhuge Qianxing said, "Let's first confirm whether the giant python is dead. You all stay back."
Zhu Fanfan took all the pets back to rest, and after confirming that the giant python was still breathing, she asked, "Should we kill this giant python?"
Zhuge Qianxing said regretfully, "With such strong combat power, it is the best battle pet to be a contracted beast. However, your mental strength is still a bit lacking. If you are not careful, you will be backfired and become the weaker party, turning into servants in a master-servant contract. The only option is to kill it. It has eaten people and keeping it alive is a disaster."
Beasts that have eaten humans possess a peculiar aura. According to records, any beast that has eaten humans will crave human flesh and will want to devour it upon seeing it, regardless of whether the person is good or bad.
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Your mental strength is very strong, why don't you form a contract?"
Zhuge Qianxing paused for a moment, then said, "It has no fur, and I don't like bald pets."
He never thought of taming it, after all, it wasn't his type.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "With such thick skin, can we kill it?"
Zhuge Qianxing was stunned again. It seemed that they took advantage of the giant python's weakness after being struck by lightning to subdue it, or that it came to them on its own because it wanted to eat people for nourishment. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been in its belly long ago.
The key issue is that they fought for a long time but couldn't draw a single drop of blood. How are they going to kill this giant python?
