Chapter 424 Killing the Python
Cao Erdan pulled Hua Ruyi behind a rock, feeling that things couldn't go on like this.
This giant python is a tomb guardian beast; it may have been staying in the cave for hundreds of years. If it continues like this, it may not leave even when these people die.
He stared intently at the surroundings.
All eyes were on the enormous python.
Suddenly, Cao Erdan felt a sound above his head.
Looking up, Huang Benchu had somehow climbed to the top of the cave.
The cave ceiling here is tens of meters high and covered with upside-down stalactites.
Huang Benchu was holding a rock, his feet stuck in the cracks between the rocks, hanging in mid-air, which was safe enough.
Cao Erdan noticed the pine oil gourd hanging from his waist.
These are all used by people in the mountains to light torches.
Cao Erdan was secretly delighted.
Fighting such a large snake head-on is not the way to go.
Burn it!
Cao Erdan had made up his mind and gestured to Huang Benchu.
He pointed to his waist, then took the pine oil gourd from the waist of a warrior next to him.
He made a falling motion in front of the giant python.
Huang Benchu was above the giant python at that moment.
After understanding Cao Erdan's meaning, he untied the gourd and poured it down.
The giant python moved slightly, but did not dodge.
This small amount of pine oil poses no danger to it.
Cao Erdan gestured to everyone.
They quietly passed the pine oil gourd from their waists to Cao Erdan.
Cao Erdan quietly approached the giant python.
Behind its head, a huge rock quietly climbed up.
Everyone raised their hearts to their throats.
He stared wide-eyed at Cao Erdan's actions.
It's only because Cao Erdan was quick and agile; if anyone else had gotten that close, they would have been discovered long ago.
Cao Erdan climbed onto a rock several meters high, lay down on it, and quietly poured pine resin onto the python.
The pine resin from the seven gourds was poured onto the back of the giant python.
With only one gourd left, Cao Erdan wanted to pour it onto the giant python's head.
So he leaped from piles of boulders to get closer to the serpent's head.
Suddenly, Hua Ruyi cried out in alarm, "Master Cao, be careful! It's awake!"
When Cao Erdan looked up, he saw that the giant python's head had risen above the boulder where he was standing, looking down at him.
With a "plop," it flicked its tongue out, like a long snake, which vanished in a flash, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.
The gaping maw came straight at him.
That is, Cao Erdan. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to move, let alone run away.
Not only did Cao Erdan leap away from the boulder at the critical moment, but he also lit the pine oil gourd in his hand, flicked it out, and struck the giant python on the head.
The pine resin splattered and flew, and sparks directly ignited the pine resin on the giant python's body.
"Pong"
A burst of flame ignited, and the giant python transformed into a fire snake.
Its massive body twisted and swept across the area.
The fire that had just been lit was smashed, scattering sparks everywhere.
Amidst its roars and cries of agony, a dozen more warriors who had been lying on the ground feigning death were struck by its heavy body, instantly breaking their bones and tendons.
Others were whipped away by their tails and died as soon as they landed.
Cao Erdan roared, "You beast, you still dare to act tough even now!"
He leaped down from the boulder and swung his Fish Intestine Sword at its eyes.
"laugh"
The python's eyes were destroyed, and the Fish Intestine Sword pierced its brain.
The python became even more frantic, thrashing and leaping about like an eel that had come ashore.
Stone chips flew everywhere as he drew them.
The warriors cried out in despair and fled in panic.
Hua Ruyi rolled into a crevice in the rocks to avoid being whipped by its huge tail.
When Cao Erdan saw that the bigger the giant python got, the more frantic it became when burned, he also got angry.
There's no way we can afford not to work hard.
With a wave of his right hand, the Heaven-Swallowing Slash was unleashed, flashing with light over ten feet long.
He chopped down at the python's tail.
"click"
Several scales broke off, but the skin and flesh were not damaged.
What incredibly durable nail plates!
I doubt even bullets could hit it!
Undeterred, Cao Erdan continued to chase and slash at the python inside the cave.
He unleashed his dragon energy once more and used the Devouring Heaven Slash to strike.
"click"
This time, the scales were broken, leaving a long gash on the python's body, and blood splattered.
The python, in pain, suddenly turned around and lunged at Cao Erdan with its massive jaws.
Cao Erdan dodged with lightning speed, but the giant python was also incredibly fast and came right after him.
With his back against the boulder, Cao Erdan had nowhere to hide.
Damn it, I've weathered countless storms and slain countless heroes who were far above my level. How could I possibly be defeated by a beast?
Just as the giant python was about to bite down, a huge rock suddenly fell from mid-air.
"Pong"
It hit the giant python on the head, causing the python to pause for a moment.
Immediately after, another person fell down, kicking and flailing their arms and legs.
It turns out that Huang Benchu above wanted to help Cao Erdan by vigorously shaking a stalactite next to him.
He exerted all his strength and finally loosened the large rock, causing it to fall down.
But he also lost his balance and fell down.
Enraged by the rock, the giant python raised its head to bite Huang Benchu, who was falling down.
Huang Benchu screamed in terror, "My God, Master Cao, save me!"
Cao Erdan also unleashed his potential at this time.
He leaped up with all his might.
He swept his sword across the room.
He slashed at the python's weakest point, its neck.
The lower jaw is not protected by such thick scales.
Cao Erdan's Devouring Heaven Slash also displayed tremendous power.
"puff"
A burst of blood-red light appeared, and the Devouring Heaven Slash opened a long gash in the giant python's neck.
The giant python, in pain, immediately forgot about attacking Huang Benchu.
Even when Huang Benchu landed on its head, it didn't care and turned to flee deeper into the cave.
Cao Erdan was not about to let it go.
He leaped forward, stepping on the flames on its back.
He swung the knife down with all his might.
Scales flew everywhere, and he almost chopped off the huge python's head.
Cao Erdan then proceeded to chop away relentlessly, one stroke after another.
The python's crawling speed also decreased.
Finally, just as it was about to enter the dark void, Cao Erdan chopped off its head.
Its enormous body rolled over a few times, twitching and writhing on the ground, no longer capable of attacking.
"Wow, Master Cao killed the Python God!"
"Good! Master Cao has killed the Snake King!"
The warriors rose from the ground and cheered with joy.
Some even came over and knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Erdan.
They worshipped Cao Erdan as if he were a god.
