In the pool, the Deepwater Venom Python churned up towering waves and swam straight toward Lisa with fearsome momentum. The more Lisa panicked, the harder she found it to escape. The distance between her and the python had already shrunk to just over twenty meters.

Fanny, who had already reached the bank, splashed desperately through the water, darting toward Lisa like a mermaid. Han Shuo was even faster. His body seemed to meet no resistance in the water as he closed in on Fanny like lightning.

After practicing the Demonic Cultivation Art, every aspect of Han Shuo's physical capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary people. When he exerted his full strength, he immediately unleashed astonishing power. By the time Fanny reached Lisa, Han Shuo had arrived as well.

Without another word, Han Shuo reached out with both hands, grabbing Lisa with one and wrapping the other around Fanny's waist. "Go, now!" he shouted.

At that moment, Han Shuo had no time to feel the silky softness of Lisa's and Fanny's bodies. In his panic, his only thought was to get away as quickly as possible. His legs beat rapidly through the water like a fish's tail, and with Fanny propelling them with her arms and legs, the three swam desperately toward the bank, tangled together.

Had Han Shuo been alone, he might actually have escaped the Deepwater Venom Python's pursuit. But with Fanny and Lisa in tow, his speed was greatly reduced. Unable to regain his earlier swiftness, he could only watch the Deepwater Venom Python draw closer.

Lisa's screams and sobs never stopped for a moment. Even Fanny was helpless now, her face filled with utter terror.

In the pool, even summoning dark creatures to fight would accomplish little. The third-level Deepwater Venom Python had extremely thick skin, and ordinary Necromancy probably could not stop it either. If they stopped to chant a spell and failed to kill it in one blow, it would inevitably entangle them, then devour them without fail.

"Wah... what do we do? What do we do? Is it going to eat us?" Lisa sobbed in panic, her hands beating the water with increasingly feeble strokes.

Fanny was equally at a loss. She watched the Deepwater Venom Python close to within reach, yet could find no way to evade it or escape. All she could do was swim for her life.

After a moment's hesitation, Han Shuo steeled himself, a resolute expression suddenly appearing on his face. His right hand tightened around Lisa, and he flung her with all his strength. Her beautiful naked body shot out of the water, flew three meters through the air, and headed straight toward the bank.

His left hand, which had been around Fanny's waist, suddenly pressed against her shapely buttocks. Before Fanny could scream, Han Shuo shoved hard, giving her another push as she swam. Her speed abruptly increased, and she shot toward the bank like an arrow.

"Go!" Han Shuo roared, then suddenly turned to face the Deepwater Venom Python alone as it reached him.

"Brian! Teacher Fanny, hurry and save Brian!" Lisa cried out miserably from a distance.

"Lisa, get onto the bank! Only once we're ashore can we help Brian!"

At that moment, Han Shuo's gaze was cold and fierce. He clenched a dagger tightly in his hand as he watched the Deepwater Venom Python's tail curl toward him.

Unexpectedly, instead of retreating, Han Shuo advanced. Before the Deepwater Venom Python's tail could coil around him, he lunged swiftly forward, heading straight for its head.

Han Shuo knew that no matter how fast he swam in this pool, he could not compete with the Deepwater Venom Python's speed. Now that they were so close, trying to flee blindly would only lead to death. Its hide and flesh were thick and tough all over, with soft flesh only around its head and neck. If he wanted to survive this calamity, close combat was his only chance.

The Deepwater Venom Python probably had not expected Han Shuo to counterattack instead of fleeing. Its enormous tail swept around in a wide arc but failed to touch him.

Its dark green eyes flashed, as though mocking Han Shuo's ignorance. Raising its neck, it spat a cloud of dark green smoke straight at his head from its enormous, menacing maw, packed with fangs.

"Brian, watch out for the smoke it spits! Its poison causes gradual paralysis. Your body will stiffen until you can't move at all!" Just then, Fanny shouted from a distance, warning Han Shuo about the dark green poisonous mist.

Startled, Han Shuo took a breath as he swam rapidly across the surface, then hurriedly dove underwater. Through the clear pool water, he located the Deepwater Venom Python and lunged toward it.

After dodging another sweep of its tail along the way, Han Shuo arrived directly beneath the Deepwater Venom Python's neck. His body and the dagger in his hand burst from the water together. The dagger gleamed coldly, tracing a silver streak beneath the moonlight as he plunged it into the soft flesh of the python's neck.

With a wet puncturing sound, the dagger sank in to the hilt, and blood spurted out. The Deepwater Venom Python let out a shrill, agonized cry, twisted its neck, and began thrashing its enormous body wildly.

Alarmed, Han Shuo hurriedly pulled out the dagger and slammed his right palm against its neck. The red demon flame of the Mystic Ice Demon Flame Art flashed and vanished, instantly entering the Deepwater Venom Python's neck.

After the red demon flame of the Mystic Ice Demon Flame Art invaded its body, the Deepwater Venom Python became even more violent, its shrill cries ringing out incessantly. Before Han Shuo could react, a cloud of dark green smoke had already spread over his body.

Strands of strange gas seeped into Han Shuo's body through his pores. His entire body went numb, then suddenly became weak and tingling. Even the dagger seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Oh heavens, Brian's been hit by the poisonous mist! Teacher Fanny, what do we do? What do we do?" Lisa, who had already reached the bank, suddenly shouted urgently when she saw the poisonous mist engulf Han Shuo.

"Endless darkness, become a Bone Spear of destruction! With my will, destroy everything before me! Bone Spear!" Fanny's chanting suddenly rang out. Three sharp bone spears abruptly materialized in midair and whistled toward the Deepwater Venom Python thrashing in the pool.

Fanny's Bone Spear spell was indeed extraordinary. All three spears struck home. Two pierced the Deepwater Venom Python's forehead, drawing two blossoms of blood. The last struck its menacing maw as it lowered its head to swallow Han Shuo, breaking several sharp fangs and knocking the gaping mouth that had been about to devour him backward.

At that very moment, the Demonic Essence inside Han Shuo suddenly began circulating rapidly. Wherever it passed, the tingling numbness instantly vanished without a trace. Han Shuo, who had already lost his strength, regained his power. As Fanny's bone spears forced the Deepwater Venom Python backward, he swiftly drew close, stabbed twice with lightning speed, then swam desperately toward the bank.

The Deepwater Venom Python suddenly let out a shrill, agonized roar, churning the pool into turbulent waves. When it raised its head again, Fanny and Lisa saw thick blood pouring from both its dark green eyes.

"Oh heavens, Brian can still move! He even stabbed the Deepwater Venom Python's eyes blind! Ahahaha!" Lisa shouted from the bank. Her earlier frightened sobs had miraculously turned into excited squeals.

But amid the Deepwater Venom Python's frantic thrashing, its enormous tail happened to lash into Han Shuo. His swiftly moving body took the blow and flew into the air, falling toward the bank.

Meanwhile, Fanny kept casting Necromancy spells, targeting vulnerable places such as the Deepwater Venom Python's neck and eyes. Blinded, it could scarcely evade her attacks. Bone spears repeatedly struck its neck, enormous mouth, and eyes, raising an ever-louder uproar in the pool. Unfortunately for it, it appeared to be growing weaker and weaker.

In its frenzy, the Deepwater Venom Python did not know to flee. Instead, it followed the sounds toward the bank, seemingly determined to devour all its attackers at any cost. But as its injuries worsened, its frenzy grew increasingly feeble and ineffectual.

At last, the Deepwater Venom Python collapsed helplessly. After Han Shuo's body fell into the water, he slowly floated to the surface. His clothes were torn across his chest and abdomen, and his right cheek was bright red, seemingly injured by the lash of the python's tail.

Lisa, who had just been shouting excitedly, and Fanny, who had been chanting spells, both cried out in alarm. Ignoring their nakedness, they plunged into the pool together.

The two moved swiftly, dragging Han Shuo onto the bank in a flurry of activity. They saw that his belly was swollen, water trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his cheeks bulged, as though he had swallowed a great deal of pool water.

Fanny knew some rescue measures. She immediately pressed her slender hands against Han Shuo's chest and abdomen, repeatedly applying pressure in an attempt to squeeze out the water he had swallowed. Lisa did the same. Under their combined efforts, mouthful after mouthful of pool water poured from Han Shuo's mouth.

"Why hasn't Brian woken up yet?" After a long while, Lisa looked at Han Shuo anxiously and asked.

"Perhaps he swallowed too much water and his throat is blocked. Why don't you try sucking the air out for him?" Fanny looked at Lisa and suggested after a moment's thought.

Lisa blushed, glanced at Fanny, and said, "Teacher Fanny, I don't really know how. You should do it."

Fanny froze. Frowning, she thought for a moment, then steeled herself and gritted her teeth. "Brian saved both our lives. Oh, fine. I'll give it a try."

With that, Fanny bent down, her delicate cheeks flushed scarlet with embarrassment, and brought her sweet red lips toward Han Shuo.

In truth, Han Shuo had long since regained consciousness. This was the very moment he had endured and waited for. His heartbeat quickened, and he could still feel the smooth softness of Fanny's arm against his chest. He was wild with delight.

A faint fragrance, accompanied by a silky touch, registered in Han Shuo's mind. Fanny slipped her fragrant tongue inside, pushing his teeth apart. Then, with their mouths and noses touching and their lips pressed tightly together, she began sucking air out for him.

A wonderful, soul-stirring sensation instantly spread through every nerve in Han Shuo's body. He felt that his dangerous venture had not been in vain after all. Even less willing to wake now, he carefully savored the incomparably exquisite sensation of that moment.

After sucking in a breath, Fanny raised her head and blew it out. She paused and was just about to continue when her bright eyes happened to catch sight of a strange little tent rising between Han Shuo's legs.

Fanny froze, stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly understood. Letting out a piercing scream, she clamped her delicate hands around Han Shuo's neck and shook him desperately, cursing in fury, "Damn you, Brian! I'm going to kill you!"
