A Lightning Python was as fast as its name suggested. It immediately dodged the attack.
“Attack!”
Shao Xiao, Wang Zhi, Ling Hao, and Cheng Fang moved all at once.
They attacked at the same time.
Feng Wu crossed her arms and glanced at the python.
A Lightning Python at this level could fight off four humans of the same level after exchanging dozens of stances.
Magical beasts were naturally more powerful than humans.
However, it was going to lose after a few more rounds.
She was right!
Before long, Shao Xiao hit the python with a hard blow.
However, the python also bit Cheng Fang on the arm.
“Ah!” Cheng Fang screamed.
Shao Xiao and the others turned pale, because the blood oozing out was purple instead of red.
He had been poisoned!
While they were looking at Cheng Fang, the python turned to run.
It was much faster than other magical beasts.
Whoosh!
It ran in Huo Shan’s direction.
He had been waiting for the beast.
His teammates shouted, “Stop it! Huo Shan, stop it!”
Huo Shan wasn’t affected by all the shouting. He just stared at the python.
When it was close enough, he raised his sword and struck down.
There was a loud thump.
His blade hit the python in its weakest spot.
When the others realized what had happened, the python had been decapitated.
Its long body fell onto the ground in two halves, and blood gushed out.
Ling Hao was astonished.
He looked from Huo Shan, whose clothes were splattered with blood, to the dead beast on the ground.
“Huo Shan, did you do this?”
Huo Shan said, “Yup. I think I’m doing alright, right?”
Ling Hao said, “I didn’t know you could do that!”
Ling Hao patted Huo Shan on the shoulder and spoke to Shao Xiao with a smile. “Shao Xiao, we’ve found a treasure.”
Shao Xiao was equally pleased. “Huo Shan, that’s great. Keep up the good work.”
Huo Shan hadn’t done it for his teammates. He was only trying to prove to Feng Wu that he could be useful to her, so that she could take him under her wing.
However, he didn’t see Feng Wu when he looked up.
“Where’s Boss Feng Wu?” He panicked a little.
Boss Feng Wu? Ling Hao said grumpily, “I don’t know what’s gotten into your head. You’re so much better than Feng Wu. Why are you calling her your boss?”
Huo Shan said, “That’s not important!”
Ling Hao asked, “What’s important, then?”
Huo Shan couldn’t tell them that Feng Wu was the crown prince’s girl. It was the biggest secret!
He only waved at him. “You won’t understand.”
Meanwhile, the other team members stood around Cheng Fang.
Wang Zhi grabbed his arm and asked hastily, “Cheng Fang, how do you feel? Can you think straight? How many fingers am I holding up?’
Wang Zhi waved three fingers in front of Cheng Fang’s face.
The poison was so potent that Cheng Fang had turned a purplish-blue color in a matter of minutes!
