Dragon Python, Black Wolf
At this point, Li Wei had to admit that the Kai Star people were very suitable for close combat. The armor covering their fists was harder than the rest of their bodies, and coupled with their Innate Herculean Strength, just a few punches later, the Great Serpent Star People's face was a bloody mess, swollen and mangled.
Two seconds later, the Great Serpent Star People broke free from the Soul-Seizing Bell's effect, but let out a thunderous roar and suddenly punched Li Wei in the chest.
As an S-rank fighter, Li Wei felt a powerful force strike him, and his body was involuntarily thrown backward. He used a somersault in mid-air to stabilize himself, but he still staggered back more than ten steps after landing before stopping. Looking at the spot on his chest where he had been punched, he saw that it was cracked.
"The difference in combat power is too great. Even with the Soul-Seizing Bell, this gap hasn't completely disappeared." Li Wei's chest heaved from the blow, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't stop attacking at this moment.
So he suppressed his surging emotions and rose up again.
The Great Serpent Star People's eyes were filled with hatred. Li Wei's flurry of punches had completely distorted his face, his nose had collapsed, and he was no longer recognizable.
Seeing Li Wei charge at him again, the Great Serpent Star People grinned maliciously. He formed hand seals, and blood-red cracks instantly spread all over his body.
"I must admit, you are the smartest Kai Star person I have ever met. However, even with the help of the Soul-Seizing Bell, you have no chance of defeating me. Now, let me show you the true power of the Great Serpent Star People." After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide, and a person emerged from it.
Li Wei saw it clearly; it was obviously another Great Serpent Star People. The person who emerged was still covered in slime, but he jumped away and made the same hand gesture.
"Could what crawled out of his mouth be the true form of the Great Serpent Star People?" This thought popped into Li Wei's mind as he witnessed this unbelievable scene. Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
The Great Serpent Star People's original body suddenly expanded, transforming into a gigantic serpent in a matter of moments. If the previous serpent, as thick as a water bucket, was already quite eerie, then this gigantic serpent was even more oppressive.
Li Wei could only describe it with one word: enormous.
This enormous, monstrous snake was estimated to be over 5 meters in diameter and over 100 meters long. Li Wei looked like an ant beneath its massive, strange body.
After the monstrous snake took shape, it roared to the sky and then opened its blood-red maw to bite Li Wei.
Before the snake's mouth even reached him, Li Wei could already feel a huge, foul gust of wind blowing towards him. If he were bitten by this giant snake, even his sturdy armor would likely be torn apart by its jaws.
Li Wei chose the most direct means of retaliation: the Soul-Seizing Bell in his hand.
With another shake, the bell rang, and the giant serpent's body paused, but it did not collapse unconscious. Seeing that the Soul-Seizing Bell was still effective, Li Wei wanted to shake it again, but found that after he shook the bell just now, another crack appeared on the Soul-Seizing Bell. Several cracks intertwined and tangled, and with another shake, it suddenly shattered into countless scrap copper pieces.
"Holy crap, you can't do this to me, can you?" Li Wei stared dumbfounded at the shattered Soul-Seizing Bell in his hand.
At this moment, the strange snake lunged forward again, bringing with it a foul stench. Li Wei hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was a fraction too slow and was struck by the snake's body. The immense force caused the armor at the point of impact to shatter, and Li Wei was spun around before crashing into the pool of water.
In the water, Li Wei felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. The broken parts of his armor burned with pain, and a lot of bright red blood flowed out. Li Wei thought to himself that the huge serpent's strength was too great. Even if his S2 combat power was hit, he probably wouldn't fare well.
The icy pool water cleared Li Wei's mind considerably. He knew he had to find a way to defeat his enemy. Now, half of his body was immobile, and the Soul-Seizing Bell, on which he had placed his hopes, was shattered. Essentially, he had no means to defeat his opponent.
Just then, Li Wei suddenly heard a notification: "The Kai Motherbody has suffered more than 50% damage and has automatically entered hibernation mode for repair. Form transformation in progress..."
Outside the pool, the Great Serpent Star People looked at the reddened water and revealed a sinister smile.
He had just used his Skin-Shedding Rebirth Technique, using his original body as a vessel to summon his natal Dragon Python. The Dragon Python was enormous and possessed earth-shattering power; as expected, it severely injured the despicable Kai Star man in a single exchange, causing him to fall into the water. Now, that despicable Kai Star man was probably half-dead.
The thought of being beaten black and blue by a tiny Kai Star person made him furious.
"Dragon Python, go! Crush that tiny bug!" The Great Serpent Star People gave the enemy no chance and commanded the enormous Dragon Python. The python hissed and charged towards the pool.
At that moment, a figure attacked from behind the Great Serpent Star People. Without even turning his head, the Great Serpent Star People swiftly extended a white python from his clothes, instantly enveloping him.
Upon seeing this, the attacker knew he had been discovered, but he gritted his teeth and continued his attack. Unfortunately, the white python's skin was thick and its scales were like steel, making it impossible to break through its defenses.
The Great Serpent Star People turned around and saw a white Werewolf.
"So, besides the Black Wolf, there's another Werewolf reincarnator here." The Great Serpent Star People only glanced at the situation before taking in the opponent's combat strength.
Level A3 is two levels lower than me, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
The Werewolf who ambushed the Great Serpent Star People was none other than Alan.
It turned out that after being knocked unconscious by the Soul-Seizing Bell for a few minutes, she slowly woke up. The first thing she saw upon waking was a giant, monstrous snake slamming Li Wei into a pool of water.
Seeing Li Wei bleeding profusely as he was knocked away, Alan felt a surge of anger welling up inside her. Without thinking, she transformed into Werewolf and pounced on the Great Serpent Star People hiding behind the giant snake. Knowing that to catch the thief, one must first catch the king, Alan, though consumed by rage, did not lose her composure. She knew that as long as she killed the Great Serpent Star People controlling the snakes, the enormous serpent would lose control.
Unexpectedly, the other party discovered them and took precautions in advance.
At this moment, Alan realized that his actions had been somewhat reckless. To confront the Great Serpent Star People head-on was an extremely foolish move. The Great Serpent Star People were known as a star-field race with extremely strong individual combat power. Each Great Serpent Star People had seven natal serpents, and the only way to strengthen them was by constantly refining these serpents. They were a race that was extremely focused on controlling their serpents.
The white python we just saw was a defensive serpent parasitizing the body of the Great Serpent Star People. The enormous Dragon Python was the Great Serpent Star People's main fighting force. As for their true forms, they could reincarnate in several different serpents at will. It can be said that even the powerful races of the 6th-level star system did not want to provoke the Great Serpent Star People.
While Werewolf are not weak, they are far inferior to the Great Serpent Star People.
Alan was now in a dilemma. She wanted to save Li Wei, but the formidable enemy before her would certainly not allow her to do so. If she fought them, she was definitely no match for the Great Serpent Star People. For a moment, she seemed somewhat at a loss.
The Great Serpent Star People let out a hoarse laugh, "Werewolf, do you also want to fight for this Hundred-Treasure Bag?"
As he spoke, he shook the golden pouch in his hand, sneering repeatedly.
Alan quickly shook his head, wondering why the other party wasn't attacking him but instead asking these questions.
"This time, my teammate happens to be Black Wolf from your Werewolf Star Domain, so I'll give him face and won't do anything to a junior like you. Now leave quickly and don't provoke me again."
After speaking, the Great Serpent Star People stopped looking at Alan and instead commanded the Dragon Python to enter the pool to search for the whereabouts of the Kai Star alien.
Unbeknownst to him, Alan was first stunned upon hearing these words, then revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.
"Is that Lord Black Wolf? Great! He's entered this mission scenario too? Xiao Kai is saved now!" Seeing the Great Serpent Star People's actions, Alan quickly stopped him.
"Werewolf, my patience is limited," the Great Serpent Star People glared fiercely at Alan, looking ready to attack at any moment.
Alan, however, mustered his courage and said, "Could you please spare Xiao Kai... the Kai Star you just injured and who fell into the water? It's his first time participating in this kind of mission, and he doesn't know anything about it. Since you are Black Wolf's teammate, could you please spare him for Black Wolf's sake?"
The Great Serpent Star People was taken aback, then looked Alan up and down, and said disdainfully, "That Black Wolf may be strong, but I don't need to be subservient to him. Letting you go is already an act of leniency on my part. What? Are you bringing out the Black Wolf to put pressure on me?"
Alan truly meant it; she remained silent, merely staring at the Great Serpent Star People, seemingly emboldened. The Great Serpent Star People sneered repeatedly, "Little thing, I think you're stupid. The reason I didn't kill you is indeed partly due to Black Wolf, but that's all. You want me to let that Kai Star go? You're dreaming! Don't even think about it... Get lost, or I'll kill you too."
Having said that, he ignored Alan and walked straight toward the pool.
Seeing this, Alan gritted his teeth and charged forward, directly attacking the Great Serpent Star People.
The Great Snake Star Reincarnator, now utterly enraged, formed hand seals, while the Dragon Python beside him charged towards Alan with lightning speed.
Given the size and impact of the Dragon Python, if Alan were hit, he would be instantly crushed into a pulp.
Just then, a wolf howl suddenly echoed through the forest. The sound was like a tangible sonic wave, striking the Dragon Python. With a muffled thud, the massive Dragon Python was thrown off course by the howl's sonic wave, and Alan was thus saved from certain death.
Upon hearing the voice, Alan's face lit up with joy, but he abandoned his attack and quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw a man in a black robe emerge from the forest, and the Great Serpent Star People also showed a playful expression upon seeing him.
