Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 150 The Devouring Python: The Player's Origins Shock the World
"Danger, danger, everyone, fight!"

"Sprinkle oil, light it."

In an instant, three of them were killed. The remaining nine immediately threw oil into the same dark area and set it on fire.

The fire lit up the surrounding darkness.

The nine of them finally saw the monster that had attacked them.

A snake.

A giant snake.

[Mythical Beast Devouring Python LV? ? ?]

"Damn, a strange beast."

"Squad leader, you said there was a poor man, but this is a giant python! This parchment is a lie!"

As soon as Bai Shu finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of venom. In a moment of carelessness, he instantly turned into countless specks of light.

Got caught in seconds.

"Damn it, classmates, throw all our kerosene over there and burn it to death."

The squad leader took out the last bottle of kerosene from his backpack and threw it. The bottle was smashed, and the kerosene was poured onto the Devouring Python.

The others also took out kerosene and threw it at them.

"I'll burn you to death."

"O flame, answer me!"

A female student in the crowd raised her hands high and chanted a spell. As flames flickered, a fireball struck the Devouring Python.

The flames intensified, engulfing the giant python as the oil splattered.

"This mere fire cannot harm me in the slightest."

The Devouring Python spoke in human language, and with a spurt of venom, the people below were unable to dodge and were instantly killed.

The remaining few people used every means at their disposal to inflict as much damage as possible on the Devouring Python.

What can be done?

The difference in their levels is too great.

Moreover, the scales covering the Devouring Python's body were too thick, so their attacks did not cause any damage. Instead, they displeased the Devouring Python, which slammed its tail down, instantly cracking the ground beneath its feet. After the group fell, their health points were reduced to zero.

In the blink of an eye, only the squad leader remained of the twelve-person team, barely clinging to life.

The number of mythical beasts is far too high for current players.

Compared to spirits and monsters, strange beasts are of a higher level and are more terrifying.

"Mortal, your companion is dead, aren't you going to flee?"

The Devouring Python suddenly stopped its attack, its eyes, the size of a pavilion, quietly watching the tiny figure below.

"escape?"

Do I need to run away?

"It's nothing more than death."

cowardly?
That's impossible; the word "coward" doesn't exist in their vocabulary.

"You shouldn't be beings from this world."

"You come from outer space?"

“You have no trace of life in you.”

"Like a puppet's shell, utterly tasteless."

"Your companion should still be alive, right?"

The Devouring Python lowered its head, and a refreshing scent wafted over.

This was different from what they had expected.

Such a ferocious beast must have a foul, fishy smell.

Incomprehensible.

The squad leader did not reply.

He didn't understand what the Devouring Python was saying.

But that didn't stop him from recording these things.

He had a hunch that the Devouring Python might reveal some very special information.

Although he's not a storyteller and isn't interested in plot.

However, he knew that this information was valuable to some people, and he could sell it for a high price.

Attic Big's eyes suddenly reddened.

The class monitor suddenly became confused.

This confusion comes quickly and disappears just as quickly.

"I understand."

The Devouring Python seemed to have obtained the information it wanted. With a sip of venom, the class monitor turned into specks of light and returned to the spring.

"Player, this is interesting."

The Devouring Python stared at the direction where the light had disappeared and muttered to itself.

"Roar."

A tiger's roar echoed throughout the entire secluded forest.

A massive tiger with wings on its back landed behind the Devouring Python.

There are limits to the number of mythical beasts.

"Swallowing Python, you've killed someone."

"That's against the rules."

“We are auspicious omens of heaven and earth. Killing others violates the rules and will easily incur divine retribution.”

Youqiong looked at the traces around him and glared at the Devouring Python with dissatisfaction.

Mythical beasts are descendants of divine beasts, bearing the heavy burdens of heaven and earth, favored by the fortune of heaven and earth, and are auspicious omens. Auspicious omens must not indiscriminately kill innocent people or commit heinous crimes.

This is the rule.

"They are not human, but they are not dead."

"You Qiong, feel it again?"

"Is there any sign of human presence around here?"

"It's a reminder from the Devouring Python," the python warned.

"Ok?"

Youqiong sniffed the air and then looked at the Devouring Python in surprise.

"Not really."

"What a weird thing."

Youqiong was very puzzled.

“Those people are even stranger.”

The Devouring Python spoke slowly.

"Oh?"

“I explored the memories of that extraterrestrial being.”

"They come from another world and call themselves players."

"Our world has become a game."

"Don't you think that's strange?"

The Devouring Python spoke slowly, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.

"Perhaps it is an era of great strife."

“My father once said that in a time of great strife, anything is possible.”

"We don't need to worry about things that are too complicated."

“We are auspicious creatures. All we need to do is find a chosen one, stay by his side, and after he becomes an immortal, we can also transform from strange beasts into divine beasts.”

"Devouring Python, don't you want to become a divine beast?"

"I think about it, I dream about it, but where is the chosen one?"

"How many billions of mortals live in this world?"

"How difficult it is to find the chosen one among them."

The Devouring Python swished its tail in frustration, clearly unhappy.

"No need."

"In this era of great strife, there are countless chosen ones; we only need to find one?"

"Find the best fighter."

"The most powerful fighter must be the chosen one."

The finite can only recognize one truth.

That means the chosen one is bound to be strong.

Only the strong can become immortals.

This is the law.

All they need to do is follow the strong.

Only the strong can gain their favor.

"Oh."

"You Qiong, you are a true genius."

……

Wangyou County.

Early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Our county's chief constable has topped both lists, he's unbeatable!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Chen Yiyi, the daughter of the Chen family, has been ranked second among the top talents! What a joyous occasion!"

"Wangyou County is a place where hidden talents reside, and it is about to become the next holy land of martial arts."

"Officer Sun will reveal the true identity of the third stone sculpture to you: Wu Daniu, a peerless master who left Wangyou County three hundred years ago and ranked 420th on the Heavenly Pride List."

"A stone sculpture fell from the sky; this is an era that belongs only to martial artists."

"The Supreme Peak Ranking, the most detailed list of the 100 strongest masters, the most detailed list in the entire Great Yong Dynasty. Those interested can go to Wangyou Bookstore to purchase it."

"The Top 500 List is a comprehensive list of statistics. You can purchase it at Zhangjia Bookstore if you are interested."

"The Grand Preceptor of the Great Yong Kingdom has risen to the top five of the strongest peak list."

News about the stone statue that fell from the sky was everywhere on the streets.

People from all walks of life are discussing this matter everywhere.

Even the middle-aged woman, who had no interest in martial arts, perked up her ears to listen to what others were saying.

……

Princess House.

"Congratulations, Princess! Your Highness, you have made it into the top 100 of the Prodigies Ranking! Your ranking is even higher than that of the Fourth Prince!"

Early in the morning, the nanny came to Ji Mengluo's bedside with good news and happily told her that she had made it onto the list of the most outstanding talents.

"Ninety-eighth place, sigh."

"Little sister came in second place."
