Hunting the Time Python

Whoosh... slap!

A signal flare was launched into the sky, causing team members searching for the Time Beast from several other directions to quickly converge, which also startled the Time Python, which was leisurely taking a walk after its meal.

Hua Qiang, located more than 100 miles away, was also alarmed.

"Captain, we're here!"

"What's going on?"

One by one, members of the Zi Furong team appeared and Wen Dao eagerly.

She quickly raised her index finger to signal for silence, and the other team members immediately shut up and looked around.

"Stop looking. Two kilometers ahead of us, there is a huge Time Python. It is estimated to be a level four Time Beast."

If we can hunt it down, we can gain at least ten thousand hours.

The other team members immediately became excited. If they could really get 10,000 hours, their lives would be guaranteed in the short term, and they would also have enough time to hunt down the Time Beast.

"Captain, give the order. How should we fight?"

"The biggest threat to us from this Time Beast is its venom."

So we use ropes and nets to capture it, then hang it up so it has a hard time getting a grip, and then we use bows and arrows to kill it from a distance.

Remember this!

We absolutely must not get close. If its venom splashes on us, we could be in dire straits.

"Understood, Captain!" everyone replied in unison.

"Xiao Yuting, Wang Sanmei, Ma Xiaojuan, Niu Li, the four of you are the most skilled in our team."

The task of capturing the Time Python with the net is now entrusted to you. Please be sure to pay attention to your own safety!

"Yes, Captain!"

The four girls accepted the order, took the net-like object handed to them by Zi Furong, and quietly crept towards the direction where the Time Python was located.

As dusk settled, a thick darkness enveloped the ancient forest, with only faint moonlight filtering through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Xiao Yuting, Wang Sanmei, Ma Xiaojuan, and Niu Li held their breath and cautiously approached the Time Python's habitat.

Their footsteps were as light as a feather, as if afraid of waking this sleeping behemoth.

Finally, they saw that terrifying figure.

The Time Python coiled on the open ground, its body resembling a small mountain, its scales shimmering with a deep blue light, as if containing endless mysterious power.

The four exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

They each gripped a corner of the net rope and swiftly climbed up the four sturdy trees like agile squirrels.

The large net gleamed coldly in the moonlight, resembling a giant animal trap, silently awaiting its prey.

Xiao Yuting stood on the tallest tree, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at the Time Python below.

She took a deep breath, slowly raised her hand, and gestured for action.

In an instant, the four of them leaped from the tree like arrows released from a bow, embarking on a thrilling freefall.

The wind whistled in their ears, and their figures were lithe and graceful, as if they had become one with the darkness.

Driven by the four, the enormous net descended from the sky like a blooming black lotus, precisely covering the Time Python that was resting with its eyes closed.

The Time Python suddenly opened its eyes, a flash of surprise and anger in them. It struggled to twist its body, trying to break free from the sudden restraint.

However, the four of them were already in perfect coordination. They quickly shifted positions in the air, like agile dancers, tightly wrapping the net rope around the Time Python's body.

Immediately afterwards, the four of them used the ropes to rise up like lightning and climb to the treetop again.

Their movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation.

At the treetop, they switched positions again, woven the net into a sturdy knot, and then worked together to hang the Time Python from a huge tree trunk.

The Time Python was stunned by this sudden turn of events. By the time it finally came to its senses, it was already tightly wrapped in the net and unable to move an inch.

It roared angrily, the sound deafening, as if it would shake the entire forest to its core.

However, no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape this sturdy net.

The four of them stood on the treetop, looking at the Time Python hanging in the air, and smiled with satisfaction.

But the smiles of the four vanished the next moment, because they knew that killing this Time Beast would not be an easy task.

The four quickly sent a signal to Zi Furong and the others—to capture Cheng.

Soon, Zi Furong led the remaining team members to the vicinity, stopping several dozen meters away from the Time Python.

The reason they were so wary was that the venom spewed by the Time Python could cover an area of tens of meters, which made them afraid to approach.

They don't have much time left to live, and coupled with the previous battle, almost everyone is injured and somewhat weak.

If they were actually sprayed with the Time Beast's venom, and they didn't have any antidotes or medicine to treat the poison, then they were basically doomed.

"Sisters, aim your bows and arrows, and fire!"

Everyone drew their bows and arrows and began shooting at the Time Python hanging in the air.

The Time Python's two pupils stood upright, and the next moment, it roared to the sky.

[Time Deceleration]

Time Rift

The Time Python unleashed two skills in quick succession. The arrows that had been raining down on it suddenly slowed down, as if they were walking heavily through mud.

Then a dark crack appeared in the air, catching most of the arrows that were shot at it, with only a small portion landing on it.

However, due to the hard scales on the Time Python's body, the arrows only made slight scratches on its surface before falling helplessly to the ground.

The first wave of attacks by Zi Furong and her group was thus thwarted.

A crimson light flashed in the Time Python's eyes, and its tail suddenly lashed out at the tree trunk like a steel whip.

The netting wrapped around the tree trunk creaked under the strain, and Zi Furong's pupils constricted sharply. "Oh no, it's going to destroy the fulcrum!"

Before the words were finished, the snake's tail slammed heavily against the tree trunk, sending wood chips flying, and the net rope suspending the Time Python began to shake violently.

"Fire in disarray!"

Xiao Yuting leaped down from the treetop and drew her Soft Sword from her waist, thrusting it straight at the python's belly.

The Time Python hastily turned its Snake Head, and venom sprayed out in a fan shape, corroding the ground and creating a sizzling pit.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma Xiaojuan swung out the chain to entangle the python's tail, but was suddenly thrown backward by the Time Python's "Time Reversal" attack. The Mars on the chain only sparked at the scales.

Wang Sanmei bit her fingertip and smeared the blood on the arrow. The runes on the arrow's tail lit up with an eerie red light.

"Use blood as a catalyst, break!"

The arrow, trailing a crimson glow, pierced the Time Rift, only to be deflected by the python's scales.

Niu Li threw out a poisoned rope dart that wrapped around the python's neck, using the momentum to swing onto the snake's back.

The Time Python writhed wildly, its sharp spikes tearing through Niu Li's clothes like blades, instantly staining her armor red with blood.

Zi Furong seized the opportunity and drew out her treasured Meteorite Arrow, its tip gleaming with a cold metallic luster.

She took a deep breath, gathered all her Spiritual Power, nocked the arrow, and drew the bowstring. As the arrow left the bow, it created a dazzling arc of light.

Sensing a deadly threat, the Time Python twisted its body and hastily cast both "Time Stop" and "Space-Time Barrier" simultaneously.

The Meteorite Arrow was greatly affected, grazing the scales and shaving off several shimmering snake scales.

The battlefield was filled with smoke. Although the Time Python was trapped, it suppressed the others and made it difficult for them to get close by using its powerful time-based skills and poisonous counterattacks.

Zi Furong stared intently at it, then took out another Meteorite Arrow coated with paralyzing medicine...
