Chapter 25: Lin Huan Takes Action

  "It's all over! The disaster at Qili Gou can't be escaped!" Qili Gou is located on the edge of Manghu Mountain, where ancestors have made a living by hunting. The people present are familiar with monsters and can tell that the giant crown-scaled python is incredibly powerful, surpassing any monster they've ever seen! The village's most elite warriors are currently on the front lines of Manghu Mountain and cannot return to provide backup. With two reasons stacked against them, anyone can guess the outcome!

  "Attack!" Wanwan gritted her teeth and gave the order to attack!

  Even if we can't win, we absolutely cannot wait for death with our hands tied! The young defender was stunned at first, then without hesitation, threw the weapon in his hand out!

  But they saw that various sharp arrows, long spears and bundles of arrows with special fire substances were densely shot towards the crown scales python. The crown scales python relied on its scale armor defense, ignoring these small attacks, and its long body rolled and shook, welcoming those attacking objects.

  Those attacks that came into contact with its body were blocked by its sturdy scales, as if they had hit a wall, and were sent flying! A large wave of long-range attacks, the Crowned Giant Python not only remained unscathed but also swept dozens of young people tens of meters away, it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

  Although the large-scale attack was ineffective, it did slow down the speed of the Crowned Scale Serpent.

  Wanwan gazed far into the distance at the village behind her, thinking of the heavy burden that her father and the clan leader had placed upon themselves. Her eyes flashed with determination: "Everyone, follow me in a charge!"

  After finishing speaking, she took her most skilled "Trident" and charged towards the Demon Crowned Python first.

  Facing the four-star peak period of the demon beast, this is obviously a suicidal intention to crack eggs with stones! Those young people were all from hunting families, and they were all stirred up with hot blood, learning from her example, advancing one after another, holding weapons, and wrestling with the demon crown scales python.

  Lin looked from afar, admiring and yet feeling a little sorry. He undoubtedly had deep affection for Yuanyuan, and seeing her courage in the face of danger, despite being weak and delicate, made him suddenly feel ashamed. Of course, his feelings were just that - he wouldn't go forward to send himself to death.

  "This is a fourth-grade demon beast! He's just an ordinary warrior who hasn't even been verified, rushing up to it, what's the difference between him and a moth flying into fire? Having gone through one lifetime, he has come to cherish his life greatly, that kind of impulsive passion no longer belongs to him."

  Although the giant python would break through the defense and the village would inevitably be swallowed up, he already had a way to save himself and his family, so he didn't want to risk his life in this mess. In his mind, the people of Qili Gou and the village were not closely related to him, unlike his family, and it was not worth risking his life for them.

  His mission is to protect his family from harm. There are no other obligations.

  "Little uncle, quickly go into the cellar. The monster is coming..." His niece Ying'er shouted from the distant doorway, waving her chubby little hand.

  Lin's gaze was pulled back from that magnificent scene, the crown scales python was near at hand, he feared that Ying'er would be shocked, and hastily urged: "You quickly go back! Xiao Shu knows, outside is dangerous, don't come out again!"

  Even if he just pretended, he had to wait until the last moment to retreat. Otherwise, others would think he was fleeing in disarray. If they were to settle accounts after autumn, it would be troublesome. Of course, from another possibility, after this calamity, Qili Gou might no longer exist and become a ruin!

  Looking up, the Crowned Scale Serpent was surrounded by a dense and intense attack, possibly touching its wounds. After experiencing several consecutive battles, its physical strength had been greatly consumed, and it seemed to be slightly slow. However, a fourth-grade demon beast is still a fourth-grade demon beast, and these insignificant attacks couldn't stop it!

  "With a loud crash", it curved its waist into a bow shape, then swung violently, knocking more than ten intercepting young men to fly, and then swallowed them into its abdomen. Immediately afterwards, like a rolling stone, it dived into the village head.

  It swept through the flat land with ease, reducing fragile houses to rubble. However, when a large group of humans attacked it, it retreated without harming any women and children.

  "Little brother-in-law, Wanwan sister is about to be swallowed by a big snake, hurry up and save her..."

  Just as he was hurrying into the house with Ying'er in his arms, Ying'er saw from behind his shoulder a fierce battle scene not far away.

  It turned out that the demon crown python was extremely ferocious, sweeping away those who were attacking the young man. It seemed to have identified Niu Wanwan as the leader. The dark tail coiled towards her, and before she could jump, it opened its huge mouth, intending to swallow her in one gulp. Fortunately, Wanwan had a instinctive reaction at the last moment, inserting the three-pronged pike into the python's crown. Just as she was about to be swallowed, she took advantage of the momentum to climb up and flip over, embracing the demon crown python's bloody crest, narrowly avoiding its bloody maw.

  The most sensitive part of the demon crown python is its bright red demon crown. Previously, due to being attacked by Qing Lei Hou Xuan and others, one-third of the blood and flesh on its crown had been knocked off. At this time, let Yuwen hold it in her arms, making it feel not only painful but also extremely uncomfortable.

  It struggled violently with its snake-like head, trying to shake off Yuwen. The red tongue it spat out was less than half a foot away from Yuwen's face, the situation was precarious.

  Lin's eyes swept past, his heart strongly struggling. Wanwan had helped him several times and he owed her a debt of gratitude. Seeing her in danger and not saving her would be a blow to his sense of justice and conscience. However, as an ordinary warrior with limited cultivation, it was hard for him to protect himself. Going to save her now would likely mean exchanging one life for another.

  "Yan is a good person, little uncle please go save her! Ying doesn't want her to be eaten by the snake!" Ying shook Lin's shoulder hard, her big black eyes welling up with tears. She only knew that Lin was an adult and could save people, without thinking that this "little uncle"'s weak power might put his life in danger.

  Lin Heng's small face was full of urgent and sincere pleading, and she let out a slight sigh. It seemed that it would be difficult for her to remain uninvolved. If she didn't rescue him, even if he managed to narrowly escape this disaster, how could she still show her face in front of Ying Er in the future?

  "Alright, you go inside and don't come out. Xiao Shu will go rescue people. Xiao Shu guarantees that he will definitely help you rescue Wenwen sister back!"

  Wan Wan narrowly escaped the swallowing of the demon crown python, but still faced numerous dangers, several times almost falling off after being tossed by the demon crown python. It was always at the last moment that she gritted her teeth and grasped the opponent's flesh crown again. She understood that as long as she let go, she would become the python's food in its belly.

  The giant python's body was wildly swinging, its waist rapidly twisting, wherever it passed, houses collapsed and beams fell. At this moment, it only wanted to shake off the thing on its head and put it to death, putting aside its killing intent towards others. Nearly half of the young men from Qili Gou who were attacking it were slapped flying, the miserable cries rising and falling without end, while the rest were filled with fear, no longer attacking desperately as before, thus greatly reducing the pressure on it.

  The snake tail of the crown scales python is inverted and hooked like a scorpion, straightening up to Wenwen.

  Wan Wan saw the huge shadow looming over her, and her heart was filled with despair. This time, even if she held on as tightly as possible, there was no chance of survival. The snake's tail had a thousand jin of force, which an ordinary warrior like her could not withstand.

  She closed her eyes with a sigh and listened to the howling wind, waiting for the end of life.
