Chapter 159: Chapter 69 Urgent Time Chapter 159: Chapter 69 Urgent Time (Congratulations to the student “残Snow Without a Trace” on becoming a new protector!)
The two-meter tail was nothing compared to the python’s twenty-plus-meter body.
But Mu Fan’s strike had directly disabled the giant python’s sneak tail whip attack.
Without that cunning follow-up attack, his odds of winning increased by another thirty percent.
Suddenly, the python’s head rose, coiling its body into a tight circle.
Hmm?
Could there be some sort of special attack?
Its lower jaw suddenly bulged!
Not good!
Instinctively, Mu Fan stepped on the slippery bark beside him, even making a dent more than an inch thick with his foot, propelling himself instantly onto a branch over five meters high.
Hiss!
A mass of black liquid sprayed from the python’s mouth, landing where he had just been standing, covering an area with a radius of three meters.
The densely packed black spots emitted green smoke, making Mu Fan’s skin crawl.
If he had been sprayed with that venom, his body would probably not even leave bones behind.
The python’s lower jaw bulged again, this time aiming its risen head in his direction.
Within the Blood-colored Vision, Mu Fan’s body was almost completely under instinctive emergency responses as his right hand, transformed into a blur, flicked, whoosh!
The dagger lodged into the giant python’s head just below the top, this time the hilt completely buried in the flesh.
Hiss!
Hiss!
The Dead Wood Poison Python, in agony, slammed its head heavily onto the ground, uncoiling its body as it did so.
Now’s the chance!
Crack, with a burst of strength from his legs, the thick branch beneath him broke, and he catapulted toward the python’s already sliced tail.
His right hand precisely grabbed the tip of the tail.
Slippery and hard to hold!
Mu Fan’s arm swiftly wrapped and twisted several times around the snake tail in a second, binding it completely to his right arm, while his left arm hung still.
The giant python turned its head to face Mu Fan, looking mad, desperate, and charged furiously at him.
It wanted to crush this little insect to death and then swallow him whole.
Mu Fan stood defiantly with a look of cold-blooded determination on his face, the enlarging shadow reflecting in his pupils.
He violently flung his right hand!
Whoosh—Boom!
A wave surged from his right arm to the tail, not diminishing, the force travelled along the python’s spine, and its twenty-meter-long body was whipped out with a booming crack like a lash!
The charging python’s head staggered from the movement.
Heh, activate Blood-colored Vision, concentrating all his strength into one arm at that moment, Mu Fan’s right-hand fingers stabbed directly into the python’s flesh, then he took a big step forward, bending his upper body downward.
With a thud, a wave of sound erupted, and he pressed forward with alarming momentum.
His right arm continued to drag the python’s tail, which was falling apart, with blood-red skin and the tightly coiled tail.
It showed that Mu Fan was resisting with all his strength against the python’s forceful constriction.
The python, having most of its strength shaken off by that last jolt, frantically tried to retract its tail, but it was already too late!
Smash it for me!
Shout!
Ah!
Having the weight of several tons, the python’s body was flung straight by Mu Fan then smashed down heavily!
From head to tail, the twenty-plus-meter body was smashed onto the rocks and the ground.
Another backhand pull, with a thunderous boom, Mu Fan leaped into the air, his body bearing down fiercely, his right arm emitting the sound of twisting bones as he forcibly twisted his body mid-air.
360 degrees, this was…
a one-armed move?
Big Tablet Fall!
Mu Fan’s eyes were filled with red rage, his left arm hanging by his side while his right arm spun the several-ton python in the air before smashing it down again.
This time, he slammed it into an area completely covered with moss-covered boulders.
Boom!
He suddenly felt the body of the giant python in his hand go limp, its strong muscles instantly becoming soft and squishy.
Dead?
Mu Fan’s lips curled into an inscrutable smile, then he let out another fierce shout, his arms showing no intention of releasing, but instead, he swung up again.
At that moment, the python’s head, which had been hanging down, suddenly rose, attempting to spit out venom once more.
Bang!
This time, the python’s head slammed hard against a sharp rock that was four to five meters high.
Then, Mu Fan casually discarded the coiled tail.
Under the Blood-colored Vision, a beating heart is the most vivid red in the field of vision; playing dead is pointless.
The initial rainforest hunt, successful.
Stepping forward, he looked at the snake head, now smashed into a pile of mush.
Mu Fan kicked it aside, then reached in to pull out the dagger that had been embedded in the lower jaw.
Phew, barely got here and came across such a beast.
Lucky to be okay.
No trouble…
Wrong!
The “beep beep” sound seemed to have come from his own backpack.
He hurried over and rummaged through the bag.
Only the electronic map with its dark screen was still flashing red.
He lit up the screen and saw a line of text and a voice message play automatically.
“The first round of elimination zones are in five places, codes C22, H6, T7, U10, W7.
Contestants remaining in these areas after one hour will be considered eliminated.
Please make sure to wear your Combat Uniform and carry the electronic map.
Without both items, you will be disqualified.”
The first round of eliminations has begun?
He quickly clicked on the location information again, and the current time and his own position appeared on the panel.
His current location: W7, and twenty minutes had already passed!
The nearest area to him was V14.
According to the scale, he was seventeen kilometers away.
Those seventeen kilometers were through unknown rainforest territory.
Just on arrival, he had encountered such a Fierce Beast; who knew what else could be lurking further ahead.
Remaining time: 40 minutes!
Mu Fan turned to look at the python’s corpse, his face showing reluctance.
After walking a few steps, he immediately turned back and used his dagger to cut open the belly, found the fist-sized, still steaming snake gallbladder, and brought it close to his mouth without concern for the smell.
He looked up, bit through it, and took large sips of the fluid inside.
So bitter!
But after a few swallows, all that was left of the snake gall was a thin layer of skin.
This was a precious tonic; he couldn’t waste the essence of his hard-won prey.
Although it was just a few mouthfuls of liquid, his belly was quickly warming, and the energy he had expended was rapidly recovering.
Looking down again, Mu Fan cut off a large piece of snake meat with his dagger, plucked a large banana leaf, wrapped up the meat, and tossed it into his backpack.
This was his ration.
Food was hard to come by in the jungle and he would not discard so much food unless absolutely necessary.
A few leaps later, Mu Fan was stepping across the crisscrossed tree trunks, quickly disappearing from the area.
He traveled upstream along the river; thirty-five minutes remaining!
Feeling was returning to his left arm, which added to Mu Fan’s confidence as he journeyed through the rainforest.
However, he was unaware that in a location over ten kilometers ahead, he would encounter three other contestants.
Ten minutes after Mu Fan had left, two pairs of black feet appeared next to the area.
Two shadows stood beneath the trees, looking at the body that was now cut in two.
One of the figures bent down, extending a finger to smear some of the blood that had flowed from the python and tasted it with a smack of the lips.
He uttered a strange phrase that seemed different from the Federation’s common language.
Then darkness spread from the ground until it engulfed the place…
