The Legend of Fangren

After traversing mountains and valleys, the training team arrived near the summit in the late afternoon.

The mountaintop is barren of vegetation, consisting only of a cluster of strangely shaped bare rocks forming a stone forest.

The ground was covered in gravel and dust, but it was dry, making it much "cleaner" than the forest.

"The first thing to do upon arriving at the campsite is to survey the surrounding environment, so as to reduce the chances of an accident should a battle break out."

The elder instructed his disciples and led them on a tour around the mountaintop. As dusk approached, they returned to their original spot.

The cave marked as a campsite on the map is right in front of us on a gravel slope.

Qianshaoyun glanced at the slope and found no trace of it, which meant that no mystical beasts had walked on this slope for a long time, a good sign that it was safe.

However, we cannot let our guard down. The mountains here are high, and there may be birds of prey.

The eight men nimbly leaped up the stone slope, where they found another flat, gravelly area on the slope, and indeed, under a large rock on the side, there was a cave that was two people wide and up to their necks.

According to records, the cave is about twenty meters deep and was expanded by one training team after another. There was more than enough room for the eight people present to rest inside.

As dusk approached, the cave grew increasingly dark, and a wisp of cloud drifted into it.

She then immediately told her disciples, "After my investigation, I found a serpentine beast in the cave, probably at the first or second rank."

"Huh?" The girls were shocked to hear this.

They weren't surprised by the rank, but rather by the fact that it was a snake or python, which instilled a sense of fear in them.

The form of snakes is very different from that of humans; they don't even have four limbs. They have never faced such a mysterious beast before, so it's normal for them to be at a loss.

Qianshaoyun didn't blame them. After all, this was the meaning of the experience; coming down the mountain was to face all sorts of challenges.

She discovered that the snakes and pythons in the cave were still asleep, so she could first explain to her disciples how to deal with them.

A group of girls gathered around to listen to the lecture, while Elder Yunyue watched over the cave entrance.

Fang Shi, on the other hand, climbed onto a large protruding rock like a monkey and searched for the Xuan Beast Scripture as instructed by the elder.

"Alright, now it's up to you guys."

After the explanation was finished, the two elders stepped aside onto a rock and watched the girls perform.

"Yes, yes, I look forward to everyone's performance." Fang Shi, still on the rock, looked indifferent and even nodded like an elder.

"You get off too." Rolling her eyes, Qianshaoyun threw him down.

This guy was incredibly tough; he fell off the rock and landed right in front of the girls, right in front of the snake cave.

Well, just as the girls were still hesitating, the sound of him falling echoed into the cave.

The next moment, the sound of pebbles rubbing together came from inside the cave, very dense, indicating that the snake or python inside was very long.

Qianshaoyun did not disclose all the information about the mystical beasts, aiming to train the disciples' emergency response capabilities.

"Oh my face!" Fang Shi got up, held up a torch, and peered into the cave.

This was incredible! In the firelight, a snake's head, as big as his own, was faintly visible. It just happened to peek out, and everyone saw it. In the firelight, the shadow of the python's huge body was revealed. It was as thick as an adult man's thigh and must have been six, seven, or eight meters long.

Pythons are extremely sensitive to light and heat. They are stimulated almost instantly and burst out of their caves, causing a cloud of sand and stones to fly up outside.

Oh no! This is the hunting method of snakes and pythons. They raise sand and stones to dazzle the target, then instantly coil around it, using the strength of a savage beast to suffocate the prey before swallowing it whole.

The mythical beast had no martial virtue and made its move without any warning. Although the snake didn't have hands either, in an instant, Fang Shi felt a tightness all over his body, especially a huge pressure in his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

The torch fell from his hand, and everything went black. The snake bit his head, and he felt a suction force coming from above. Thick, viscous liquid flowed all over his face, instantly sealing his mouth and nose, further accelerating his suffocation.

The python's fine, sharp fangs were clamped onto his head like barbs, firmly holding him in place and giving him no chance to slip away.

In this situation, it seemed like a certain death, but the five girls rushed to help.

Qu Mei wielded her wooden fork, creating a gentle breeze that instantly dispersed the sand and dust. The other three senior and junior sisters all wielded swords, unleashing both slashing and thrusting attacks. However, two of the sword lights were deflected by the snake's scales, leaving only one sword light that was a thrusting attack. It struck a gap in the scales, causing some damage, but not deep, and was quickly thrown away by the rolling snake body.

Fearing that he might stab Fang Shi, Luo He used the spear as a long sword, leaped up, and angrily slashed down, striking the snake's body.

The metal blade, radiating a golden-white light, was extremely sharp. The scales, being of the wood element and of the Yin Xuan nature, were directly countered by it, resulting in a remarkable effect. The extremely thin blade energy at the tip of the spear, though unable to cut directly through the scales, could still get stuck between them, injuring the internal organs. A wound that ran along the gap in the scales burst out instantly, spurting out a trace of blood.

"roar!!"

The snake cried out in pain, indicating that the injury was real. However, it still did not loosen its grip. Instead, it used all its strength to roll and break free of the encirclement, tumbling down the rocky slope.

Fang Shi, who was entangled, suddenly felt dizzy and found it even harder to struggle.

He finally understood why this python chose to make its home in such a place. With its invincible "Wind and Fire Wheel" technique that rolls down the mountain, what prey couldn't it catch? No wonder it could grow such a robust physique.

Why hasn't the elder made a move yet? It'll get dark soon, and if he rolls down the mountain like this, where will we find him?

"Prescription!" Luohe shouted anxiously as he chased after them from the mountain.

That's great, our little He Bao is taking care of himself again.

Since the elder said he also needed to gain experience, Fang Shi naturally couldn't continue to slack off.

He immediately turned his face away, completely unafraid of being disfigured, and let the snake's fangs tear his skin. Immediately afterward, several mushrooms sprouted from the wound.

This isn't over yet. You bite me, huh? I'll bite you back!

Fang Shi's strength was comparable to that of a Xuan Beast of the same level, and his bite force was no joke. He was purely trading injury for injury, biting haphazardly, and in the end, he bit into something extremely slippery and fishy, ​​which was probably a snake's tongue.

Come on! Let's French kiss! Who's afraid of who!

Take a bite.

"!!!"

The python never expected that its prey, which was stuck by its barbed teeth, would not be afraid of being injured and would bite down hard on the soft flesh in its mouth.

Other prey with long beaks simply couldn't open their mouths; only a human head could do it, and like Fang Shi, one must possess power while completely disregarding appearance.

Therefore, there is truth to the saying that "a shameless person is invincible."

In excruciating pain, the python was finally forced to loosen its grip, including its mouth.

But here's the problem... the snake has loosened its grip, but Fang Shi won't!

He gritted his teeth, and the moment the snake's mouth opened, he violently tossed his head back, tearing a piece of flesh from the snake's mouth.

"Heave-ho, ptooey~"

Fang Shi, who had been flung away by the python, quickly regained his sense of direction, landed firmly on his feet, jumped up again, caught up with the snake's head, and grabbed it with both arms—

You were bothering me just now, now it's my turn to bother you!
