Chapter 996 Shen Ri's Sacrifice
However, when faced with the human attack, this brightly colored python suddenly opened its blood-red maw.
A large cloud of green mist spewed out from its mouth!
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the so-called mist was actually composed of countless tiny green insects.
The group of people who rushed towards the python were instantly enveloped by small green insects.
"what……"
Several people let out a shrill scream.
In just a few moments, large patches of their exposed skin were corroded away!
It should be noted that these individuals are all C-level combatants, with physical strength sufficient to withstand missiles.
But when faced with small green insects, it is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper.
When their screams stopped, they had been eaten away by tiny green insects and reduced to bones!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was deeply moved.
The humans who had originally intended to go up and support Shen Ri also involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
"Flame Wheel!"
Xu Wenyue gave a low shout and raised his hand to cast a spell.
Fire energy rapidly gathered in the air, condensing into a rapidly spinning fire wheel!
This is a spell that Su Chen obtained from Bi Feng and He Jincheng.
However, he did not master fire magic, so he gave away fire energy.
The green swarm of insects crashed head-on into the fiery wheel. Faced with the intense fire magic, they were like snow under the sun, instantly melting away without a trace!
After dealing with the green swarm of insects, everyone quickly turned their attention to Shen Ri.
The python had already completely wrapped itself around Shen Ri.
As its body tightened, Shen Ri's bones were squeezed and cracked loudly!
However, he did not give up and continued to fight against the python with all his might.
Seeing that its green swarm of insects had been dealt with by humans, the python seemed to have lost patience.
It opened its blood-red maw once more, and its two sharp fangs stabbed fiercely at Shen Ri!
"what……"
Shen Ri also let out a scream.
This surprised even Su Chen.
Unlike the others, Shen Ri is a C+ level evolved being!
He has acquired the ability to project energy outwards, thereby defending his physical body.
However, it still couldn't withstand the python's venomous fangs!
The python's two venomous fangs pierced deeply into Shen Ri's body.
With a flick of its head, Shen Ri was instantly disemboweled and was clearly beyond saving!
"Big brother!"
"Fuck your mother!"
Seeing their elder brother end up like this, the two brothers, Shen Yue and Shen Xing, were filled with rage!
Shen Xing disregarded the possibility of harming his brother and mobilized all his energy, unleashing a barrage of powerful abilities and spells at the monstrous python!
The python swallowed the barely alive Shen Ri whole.
Then it opened its mouth again and spewed out a burst of green light.
This beam of light blocked all of Shen Xing and the others' spells!
The python didn't linger long; its massive body was incredibly agile as it climbed directly up the crooked tree beside it!
All of this happened incredibly fast!
From the moment the python attacked Shen Ri to the moment it escaped, the entire process took less than a minute!
Once they came to their senses, the group immediately rushed towards the crooked tree, eager to avenge Shen!
However, when they arrived at the tree, the python had already vanished without a trace!
Su Chen led Zhao Man and the others up the tree to check the surrounding area.
He discovered that the center of the crooked tree was hollow.
He took out a flashlight and shone it down towards the area under the tree.
Su Chen discovered that there was actually a considerable space at the base of this crooked tree.
He first used his battle aura to protect himself, then took out his Xuanjin longsword, greeted Zhao Man, and then jumped down!
As soon as he stepped down, Su Chen smelled a strong, fishy stench.
This place appears to have been the lair of a python, with remnants of its shed skin still remaining around.
In addition, Su Chen also found a lot of human and animal bones, as well as human clothing, watches and other items!
He looked around and noticed a hole in the ground not far away.
They approached the entrance to the burrow and peered inside.
The cave was bottomless, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
It slopes downwards, seemingly leading deep underground.
It seems the python escaped from here!
If I'm not mistaken, the python usually lives in this crooked-necked tree.
If any creature gets close to the crooked tree, it will launch a thunderous attack!
Su Chen used his flight technique to fly up from the bottom of the tree and return to the canopy.
He called to Zhao Man and the others, then jumped down from the tree.
"Well, Brother Su, have you found that damned giant python?!"
Sister Yu asked through gritted teeth.
"No."
Su Chen shook his head and told Sister Yu about the situation below.
Old Kuai sighed and turned his gaze to Shen Yue and Shen Xing.
What do you two think?
Having just finished crying, Shen Xing, her eyes red and swollen, said fiercely.
"Of course, I want to avenge my brother!"
Shen Yue, who was more mature in personality, looked towards Sister Yu and Old Kuai.
"We are both members of the Yu Family Army, so naturally we must listen to the orders of the two leaders."
Old Kuai and Sister Yu exchanged a glance, and he slowly said,
"You two heard what Boss Su said just now, right? The situation down there is extremely complicated."
"Nobody knows where the tunnel leads or whether there are any other dangers inside."
"Although we are also heartbroken by Lao Shen's sacrifice, we should not risk more lives in the name of revenge."
"What I mean is, let's focus on achieving the objective of this operation first."
"We'll find another chance to kill this giant python when we get back!"
Upon hearing this, the younger Shen Xing immediately became anxious.
"No, my older brother sacrificed himself for the organization, Brother Kuai, how can you just abandon him like this?"
"What do you mean?"
Sister Yu's face darkened, and she said with some dissatisfaction,
"When did we ever say we weren't going to take it anymore?"
"Our main task is to enter Hidden Dragon Valley to search for rare and precious materials!"
"We'll figure out how to avenge Old Shen after we finish the mission!"
Shen Xing wanted to say something, but Shen Yue stopped him!
"Xiao Xing, shut up!"
Shen Yue glared at him, then spoke sincerely to Sister Yu and Old Kuai.
"Hidden Dragon Valley is fraught with danger. The two leaders warned us to be careful before we came!"
"My brother died in the jaws of a monstrous python; it was just bad luck, he can't blame anyone else!"
"We brothers will obey the two leaders!"
Seeing his words, Sister Yu's expression softened, and she said somewhat apologetically,
"I'm sorry, Shen Yue, it was my attitude that was bad!"
"Alright then, from today onwards, you will inherit all of your elder brother's privileges."
"Thank you, Sister Yu!"
Shen Yue suppressed her grief and indignation and nodded.
"Brother Su, what are your thoughts?"
Old Kuai then looked at Su Chen.
