Chapter 475 Fighting the Python
"Ordinary methods won't work on this kind of demonic creature that has become a spirit; we have to use lightning magic. Never engage in hand-to-hand combat!"
As before, Li Donglin spread his arms to protect us behind him, stared at the giant python, and slowly retreated.
"This is a Yin Sha Python. It cultivated into a malevolent being by borrowing the Yin spirits and resentment from the secret vault, as well as the malevolent energy of the gold!" The blind man on the left said, taking out a copper coin sword and a bundle of red rope. "This thing is impervious to blades and spears; you can only temporarily trap it or bombard it with lightning magic!"
The giant python stared at us, letting out a deep hiss, its thrashing tail sweeping across the gold bricks with dull thuds.
"W-what should we do?" Old Fang was a little scared, his legs went weak, and he was dragged backward by Meng Guizi.
"Cold salad!"
Li Donglin replied with two words and quickly took out things from his backpack to distribute to us: a black iron Bagua mirror engraved with runes, a peach wood sword, a dagger inlaid with jade, a lightning-struck jujube wood plaque, and a large number of talismans.
These things were all meant to deal with evil spirits, but who knew there were no evil spirits here, only a giant python that had become a spirit.
"hiss!"
Just as we retreated to the iron gate, the giant python let out a hiss and moved.
There's a poem that describes a woman's elegant posture and graceful movements as "like a swimming dragon, like a startled swan." That's exactly the feeling I got when this giant python started moving.
Its body, as thick as a bucket, moves with a light and agile grace, without feeling bulky at all. It only takes a few twists and turns to cover half the distance of more than twenty meters.
"Grass!"
Upon seeing this, Li Donglin cursed, pointed his flashlight at the Bagua mirror in his hand, and then used the mirror to reflect the light onto the giant python.
As soon as it was illuminated by the light, the giant python suddenly closed its eyes and let out a hiss. A wisp of blue smoke rose from the black scales on its head, and I vaguely heard a painful wail.
I immediately realized what had happened and shouted, "This thing has trapped the laborer's ghost inside its own scales!"
As he spoke, Li Donglin charged towards the giant python.
Blind Zuo followed behind Li Donglin, using his body as cover, and rushed over as well.
Fatty Lin approached from the left, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Without thinking, Long Nier and I rushed forward from the right.
As for Meng Guizi and Lao Fang, Lao Fang's legs were too weak to walk, so Meng Guizi dragged him to the front of the door, pulled on the iron gate, and shouted, "Open!"
With his stern shout, he actually managed to pull the door open a crack just big enough for one person to pass through.
"go!"
After pulling him away, he didn't run away, but instead kicked Lao Fang away.
After kicking Lao Fang out, he let go, and the door slammed shut again.
Something's off about this person.
The door was closed by that giant python with its malevolent aura. Not to mention him, even if we wanted to open the door, it would take a lot of effort. How could it have pulled the door open?
The thought flashed through Li Donglin's mind as he engaged the giant python in battle.
He thrust his sword at the python's vital spot, but instead of penetrating, it was deflected by the python's scales, which inadvertently enraged the python.
The python's tail, as thick as a bucket, lashed out horizontally, striking him like a whip.
If that blow lands squarely, it will either kill or seriously injure the person.
Fuck you!
At this moment, the blind man on the left suddenly appeared, swung the red rope in his hand, looped it around the giant python's head, and pulled hard.
Unaware that its head had been pulled to one side, the python's tail also twitched to the side.
Li Donglin stepped forward again, this time replacing his peach wood sword with a jujube wood shield. He struck the python's head with it, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he cried out, "Supreme Lord Laozi, by your command, strike the demon with lightning..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cloud of black mist emerged from the python's head, from which more than ten pained and ferocious human faces appeared, blocking the attack. The snake's tail then lashed out again.
"Imperial Edict!"
At the same time, after Lin Pangzi finished chanting the incantation, he threw out more than ten talismans at the same time, which struck the giant python and stirred up bolts of lightning and fire.
"hiss!"
The giant python hissed and dragged the blind man to Li Donglin's shoulder.
"Um!"
Li Donglin grunted and was sent flying by the impact.
After knocking Li Donglin away, the python's head swayed, and the blind man on the left was also thrown away.
The awkward thing is, I just happened to rush in front of this giant python, holding the Demon-Slaying Seal in my hand, ready to smash it down.
The python turned its head and made eye contact with me.
In the darkness, those vertical pupils with a single gold line shone exceptionally bright, carrying a hint of irony, as if to say, "You're going to die."
Fuck you!
Reading the meaning in the vertical pupils, I didn't think twice and slammed the seal down.
The impact of the strike, aside from producing two plumes of black smoke and a few painful howls, had no effect whatsoever. On the contrary, it only intensified the mockery in those vertical pupils.
"Damn it, we're doomed!"
My heart tightened, but then a force pulled me backward from my waist, just in time to avoid the lash of her tail. It was Long Nier who had used her whip to drag me back.
"hiss!"
Seeing that I had dodged the attack, the giant python let out an angry hiss and charged at me.
"Fuck you!"
At this moment, the blind man roared and put the noose around the giant python's head again.
"Fourth Brother, I'll help you!"
Fatty Lin rushed over, grabbed the red rope, and dragged it backward toward my giant python.
"Thirteen, Ni'er, you two run! The rest of us will stay behind to cover our retreat!"
Li Donglin then got up from the ground and rushed forward again. Together with Fatty Lin and Blind Zuo, they grabbed the red rope and pulled the giant python toward them.
"hiss!"
The giant python hissed and swung its head violently, causing the three of them to stumble.
"Fuck you!"
I got a little carried away, got up from the ground, and charged forward while holding the mark.
I had just taken a step forward when a whip-like shadow lashed out from my side, striking the giant python's open mouth with a sharp crack.
Unlike the previous blows we dealt, this time the giant python was truly in pain. It suddenly twisted its body, and the three of them, including Fatty Lin, were thrown away.
After swatting the three of them away, the giant python didn't even glance at me and charged straight at Long Nier.
This time was different from the previous times. The giant python slithered across the ground, leaving afterimages, and instantly closed the distance between itself and Long Nier.
"Grass!"
Without thinking, I lunged and grabbed the python, trying to slow it down.
"Brother!"
Long Nier didn't dodge; instead, she lashed out at the snake's mouth with her whip again.
This enraged the giant python, which dragged me toward Long Nier.
Just when I thought I was doomed, a voice with an eerie tone rang in my ear: "I command the spirits of this shrine! The might of the tiger is revealed to subdue the evil spirits! I am Meng Da, a disciple of the Tiger Hall of the Northeast Spirit Hall. Today, I invite the spirits to possess me!"
With that sound, Meng Guizi rushed forward before the giant python could touch Long Nier, grabbed its head, and pressed it down.
