Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive-Chapter 54 - 53: Working Together to Fight the Giant Python
"Gag!"
Han Ning was a bit better off; his stomach merely churned with a nauseating urge to vomit.
However, the students around him with weaker constitutions were already bent over, gasping for air, their chests heaving as they dry-heaved repeatedly.
Han Ning frowned and surmised, "This sonic wave affects the human brain and causes physical discomfort. Everyone, find something to plug your ears and fall back another 20 meters."
In the face of such a strange and powerful Soul Beast, they were far too fragile. Their only recourse was to rely on their Contracted Soul Beasts and technology to fight.
Just as everyone was hastily retreating, Yin Yi had already engaged the Silver-Scaled Python up ahead.
BOOM!!
The Silver-Scaled Python’s massive, ten-meter-long body slammed down hard, sending bits of grass and gravel flying from the lawn.
Its silver-white scales shimmered with the glow of Spiritual Energy, like high-speed, vibrating saw blades slicing through the white mist. The Silver-Scaled Python coiled its upper body and then sprang forward, launching itself menacingly toward Yin Yi in mid-air.
Worried it might have other abilities, Han Ning quickly commanded, "Have Yin Yi confront the Silver-Scaled Python head-on! The other Silver Lotus Woods will fire Vine Whips from the rear to restrict its movement as much as possible!"
"As for us, we’ll try to shoot it in the eyes and belly!"
"Hold your fire! Wait for it to come out of its whirlwind state before you shoot!"
Even restricting its movement for just 0.01 seconds would be a huge help to Yin Yi!
A vibrant green light of Spiritual Energy flared around Yin Yi. Wisps of wind began to form, swirling around her until they coalesced into a rapidly spinning emerald flower.
At the same time, the silver whirlwind that was the Silver-Scaled Python arrived.
The sharp aura made the green leaves on Yin Yi’s body tremble slightly.
The pervasive white mist dispersed, and within a radius of several meters, blades of grass, tree branches, and gravel were sliced into a flurry of fragments by the sharp, white aura emanating from it.
The massive, 10-meter-long whirlwind bore down on the sub-one-meter Yin Yi. To the distant onlookers, it was a scene of intense visual impact.
"Ling!"
Yin Yi let out a sharp cry. The pair of cape-like leaves on its back fluttered rapidly, pulling its body upward in a hasty climb.
The emerald flower in front of it suddenly exploded, transforming into a sky full of rapidly spinning Green Crystal Stones that let out a piercing shriek as they instantly enveloped the silver whirlwind below.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A continuous stream of green crystals, packed with kinetic energy, shot into the silver whirlwind, creating loud explosions that brought the Silver-Scaled Python’s leaping body to an abrupt halt, causing it to tumble downward.
Having just absorbed the Attribute Points, the power of Yin Yi’s Soul Techniques had increased considerably.
"Great job, Yin Yi!"
Seeing the Silver-Scaled Python exit its whirlwind state, Han Ning yelled, "Silver Lotus Woods, bind it! We’ll attack its weak points!"
The words had barely left his mouth when nearly forty Vine Whips of various colors shot out from behind the adjacent boulder, tying up the Silver-Scaled Python tightly.
Then, a volley of gunshots rang out. A dense shower of bullets, like rain, poured down on the Silver-Scaled Python’s pupils.
The Silver-Scaled Python instinctively shut its eyes. The bullets struck its eyelids, creating a shower of metallic sparks.
It tried to break free, only to find itself bound by the numerous vines.
"HISSS!!"
The serpent’s body trembled slightly before it violently thrashed, instantly snapping the vines wrapped around it.
The next second, the airborne Yin Yi gestured with its hand.
Dozens of identical, diamond-shaped crystals appeared in the air.
A seemingly endless stream of diamond-shaped crystals shot into the gaps between the Silver-Scaled Python’s scales, instantly blasting them open and leaving behind gruesome, bloody wounds.
The emerald-green light, like a persistent plague, did not dissipate. Instead, it burrowed into the wounds as if alive, continuing to corrode the flesh within.
"Hiiiisss..."
As the green light seeped into its body, the Silver-Scaled Python let out a pained wail, its body trembling as if in extreme agony.
"Keep it up! It’s almost done for."
Han Ning noticed the Silver-Scaled Python’s speed had slowed significantly. Its head was hanging low, and its silver-white scales were blood-soaked from Yin Yi’s Flower Thorns, which had gouged out one bloody gash after another.
Just when everyone thought the Silver-Scaled Python was severely wounded and on the verge of defeat...
...the Silver-Scaled Python suddenly raised its head, and the relatively intact scales on its body began to vibrate violently again.
Han Ning’s gaze tightened. A sudden sense of dread washed over him, and he immediately issued a command to Yin Yi: "Kill it!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
It wasn’t just him; as a Soul Beast, Yin Yi also sensed the danger and increased the firing frequency of its Flower Thorns.
In an instant, dozens more luminous, diamond-shaped Flower Thorns embedded themselves haphazardly into the Silver-Scaled Python’s body.
But the Silver-Scaled Python was no pushover. Whipping its thick body and using its Giant Power, it leaped up, rapidly closing the distance to Yin Yi.
Now only a few meters away from Yin Yi, the Silver-Scaled Python opened its monstrous maw, revealing a crisscrossing set of sharp teeth. Saliva flew from the tip of its tongue as it let out a roar that shook the entire area.
With a WHOOSH, the high-speed, vibrating scales detached directly from its body, transforming into a storm of silvery gleams like razor blades that shot in unison toward Yin Yi.
The silver blades crisscrossed, tracing bright silver lines as they wove a massive, metallic net of death, enveloping Yin Yi from all angles.
"Ling!"
With a look of intense focus, Yin Yi drew the surrounding Wood Element to itself in a continuous stream, firing its Emerald Flower Thorns with all its might.
The Green Crystal Stones and the bright blades collided, erupting in a dazzling spray of light.
Meanwhile, Han Ning, the dozen or so people beside him, and the distant Silver Lotus Woods were also frantically firing bullets and Vine Whips to impede the Silver-Scaled Python’s movements.
RAT-A-TAT, RAT-A-TAT-TAT!
A massive net woven from Vine Whips once again enveloped the Silver-Scaled Python, yanking it violently downward.
Yin Yi seized the opportunity. Aiming for the Silver-Scaled Python’s pupil, a Green Crystal Stone, trailing a faint streamer of light, shot unopposed into the serpent’s eye.
"HISSS!!"
The Silver-Scaled Python wanted to struggle, but it was bound by the vines and couldn’t move its body.
With a muffled THUD...
...the Crystal Stone that had entered its pupil exploded. The Silver-Scaled Python’s body slumped to the side and crashed heavily onto the grass.
"Lingling..."
Yin Yi was a plant-type Soul Beast, possessing no heart or lungs, but Han Ning could clearly see its body trembling slightly.
If one were to look at it from the front, they would see the fiery light in Yin Yi’s eyes slowly contracting and expanding, as if it were taking deep breaths like a human.
Yin Yi raised its Vine Whip-like hands and condensed its Emerald Flower Thorns one last time. A green light shone as a brightly gleaming Crystal Stone took shape, aimed at the Silver-Scaled Python’s position—and WHOOSH!
CRUNCH~
The sound of tearing flesh and shattering bone reached everyone’s ears.
The right side of the Silver-Scaled Python’s brain was pulverized by the successive Crystal Stones!
The once-majestic Silver-Scaled Python now lay still on the ground, half of its body’s scales shattered, its serpentine form twitching unconsciously.
