Chapter 9: Show off your ax skills and show your edge
"Save me! Ah..."
Along with a scream, bright red blood shot out from the grass.
Su Yu gripped the ax tightly and retreated with his legs reflexively.
Li Mi, who heard the shouting, immediately came over with a sword. He stood in front of Su Yu and asked eagerly: "What happened?"
"There seems to be a ferocious beast ahead! Zhang Yuan was attacked." Su Yu pointed at the grass 20 meters away and said.
Li Mi held the long sword in his hand and stepped forward bravely.
Just when he was about to push aside the weeds and enter, he suddenly heard a crash, the weeds in front of him spread out, and a huge triangular head poked out from it.
Everyone raised their heads and looked intently, only to see a huge green python stretching its neck and hanging in the air with its head on its head.
The body of this giant python is as thick as a bucket, and there are a pair of green eyeballs on both sides of its head, with a little bit of cold light in the eyeballs.
Two slightly trembling legs were exposed from the edge of the snake's mouth, and blood and mucus dripped from the corners of its mouth.
"Zhang Yuan was swallowed alive by this giant python!"
Everyone was frightened. Upon closer inspection, Su Yu found that Li Mi's legs were trembling with fear.
Zhang Yuan in the snake's mouth is probably beyond saving.
There are only two choices now, one is to escape from this place immediately, and the other is to take the opportunity to attack the giant python.
You must know that the giant python is eating at this moment. If you want to kill it, this is the best time to attack.
The servant disciples took out their weapons one after another, but they did not dare to step forward. They had to hide behind the huge trees and keep a relatively safe distance.
Facing the man-eating giant python, the weak handyman disciples simply had no power to fight.
At this time, even the captain Li Mi just stood there blankly, looking up at the man-eating python in front of him, with a look of fear on his face.
Although he had entered the "outer gate", he did not have any actual combat experience. Faced with this unexpected situation, he panicked for a moment.
"Captain Li! Let's run! This man-eating python is extremely ferocious! I'm afraid it will be difficult for non-innate warriors to handle it." Lu Qing walked over boldly, pulling Li Mi to leave.
"I'm the captain, I can't leave! If I leave like this, how can I gain a foothold in the 'outer gate'!" Li Mi squeezed the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes always staring at the giant python in front of him.
Although he has a cowardly character, he is the captain of this herb collection team after all. He must not stand idly by when his team members are attacked by vicious beasts.
Su Yu knew that the situation was critical and quickly stepped forward and said: "The giant python is eating. This is the best time. If you want to attack, do it now. If you want to escape, do it now."
"I'm going to kill him!" Li Mi finally made up his mind.
The next moment, he was seen touching the ground with his feet, his body rose up, and he struck the python on the top of his head with his sword.
Under the slash of the long sword, a blood stain opened in the giant python's hard head, and blood flowed out.
The giant python's green eyes suddenly stood up, and soon the snake's tail was seen rising up, lashing towards Li Mi fiercely.
Seeing the thick and lengthy snake's tail coming at him, Li Mi immediately blocked it with his sword.
The snake's tail hit the sword blade, making a loud clang sound like a metal collision.
At the same time, Li Mi's body flew out like a sharp arrow and hit the bottom of the tree trunk, causing the barrel-thick pine tree to shake.
Li Mi spit out a mouthful of blood, then climbed up from the ground, holding the long sword and killing the giant python again.
At this time, the giant python's tail danced nimbly like a long whip, drawing floating shadows in the void, and whipped Li Mi over and over again.
Li Mi waved the long sword in his hand and skillfully performed various sword moves.
After dozens of moves, Li Mi was getting tired. All his strength was exhausted. His legs kept retreating until they hit the bottom of a tree stump where two people were hugging each other, and then he stopped retreating.
The blood dyed his green robe red, and the pain in his muscles and bones spread throughout his body and outside.
Looking at the giant python at this moment, although there are traces of blood in the snake's tail, it seems to have inexhaustible power. As time goes by, it becomes braver and stronger as time goes by!
Li Mi knew that if the fight continued like this, he would definitely lose. If he lost, the dozens of servant disciples behind him would be in danger of dying.
At the critical moment, Li Mi suddenly came up with a plan. Then he endured the pain of the snake's tail lashing his body, took advantage of the situation and stretched out his left hand to grasp the snake's tail tightly, and then stabbed the end of the snake's tail with his sword.
He gathered all his strength, penetrated the snake's tail with the sword blade, and nailed the long sword into the giant tree.
The whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
After he finished all this, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's go! You all go!"
"Su Yu, lead them away on my behalf!"
Su Yu glanced at Li Mi, who was covered in blood and trying his best to fight against the giant python, and for a moment couldn't help but feel great grief in his heart.
He never expected that Li Mi, who had always been timid and cowardly, would have the courage to sacrifice himself for others and not be afraid of death.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Su Yu waved his hand and said in a tone that could not be refused.
All the servant disciples fled one after another, with Su Yu guarding the rear. As he glanced around, he saw Lu Qing holding a spear and rushing towards Li Mi's position.
Before he could say anything to stop him, the spear in the opponent's hand had already pierced the snake's tail.
"I'm here to help you!" Lu Qing said harshly.
Blood splattered from the tail of the giant python, and the snake's body, which was more than ten meters long, trembled one after another. Immediately afterwards, the giant python swallowed Zhang Yuan's body completely into its belly.
"Su Yu, what are you waiting for? Leave quickly!" Li Mi shouted sharply.
"Stop dawdling, just run faster." Su Yu came back to his senses and urged the handyman disciple in front.
At the same time, he also ran forward quickly with the large group of people.
He felt uneasy. Judging from the situation just now, even if Li Mi and Lu Qing united, they would definitely not be a match for the giant python.
And he knew very well that the reason why Li Mi was able to withstand dozens of rounds under the attack of the giant python was mainly because the giant python was eating.
In this case, the attack power of the giant python is naturally greatly reduced. Now that the giant python has swallowed Zhang Yuan in its mouth, its attack power will inevitably increase to a whole new level.
Facing the attack of the giant python, Lu Qing, who is of low strength, may not be able to resist at all.
Su Yu and Li Mi didn't have a close friendship, but they were good friends with Lu Qing. As good friends, how could they watch each other fall into a desperate situation and die in Shekou.
That's why he was so anxious to drive the handymen in front of him out of danger so that he could go back to assist Lu Qing and Li Mi as soon as possible.
"ah!"
But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind.
Lu Qing! It’s Lu Qing’s voice!
Su Yu stopped immediately, turned around and ran towards the source of the sound.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw Lu Qing lying on his back covered in blood.
The green snake tail was like a spear, stabbing towards the opponent's chest quickly.
At the critical moment, Su Yu swung the sharp ax in his hand and threw it at the attacking snake's tail.
At the same time, he opened his legs and rushed forward quickly.
The sharp ax came out of his hand and struck the snake's tail accurately. The end of the snake's tail was suddenly cut off by two feet, and bright red blood spurted out.
