Chapter 35

“What’s wrong?”

Bill could not care less about Victor King. He walked over to take a look, and his expression changed slightly.

Victor King and Abigail walked over and finally understood why they looked like this.

It was a huge snakeskin. The colorful patterns looked very scary, and there were scales that had fallen off around it. The snakeskin looked quite new, and it was obvious that it had just been shed not long ago.

“How can there be such a huge snake? The monster’s level is probably over 20, right?”

“Let’s be careful and leave this place quickly. The monster might be nearby.”

Although they were high-level and powerful, it did not mean that they were invincible. This was the first time they had seen such a large monster.

A stinky smell came from behind, accompanied by a slight rustling sound. Victor King reacted in time and quickly pulled Abigail to the side to hide.

An afterimage flashed past the corner of his eye. The black scales were like hard armor. Its speed was too fast.

By the time everyone noticed it, it had already disappeared into the dense forest. All they could see was a slender and thick tail that was densely covered with spikes, leaving an indelible impression on them.

“What the hell was that just now!”

Everyone was shocked.

“I’m afraid it’s too late to leave now. We’ve encountered the monster.”

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Victor King who said it.

As if to agree with what he said, the monster hidden in the dark attacked again.

Shadows suddenly blotted out the sky, and this time, everyone finally saw what the monster that ambushed them looked like.

The huge triangular snake head stared coldly at them with its green pupils. It carried the bloodthirst and cruelty unique to beasts, making people shudder, especially its body hidden in the dense forest.

They could only see its head and not its tail, so no one knew how big its body was.

The rustling sound of scales rubbing against the ground made one’s scalp go numb. Especially when one was stared at by that pair of beast eyes, it was as if one had seen the arrival of the God of Death.

Even Bill, who had a good mental fortitude, could not help but gasp. “How can there be such a big snake?”

“The information we investigated previously did not say that there would be such a monster in the Gloom Forest. What exactly is going on?”

Victor King was probably the calmest person in the room. If he had no other choice, he would use the Divine Summoning Spell. It was already off cooldown. However, according to the current situation, he did not need to resort to that yet.

Abigail tensed up and shielded Victor King behind her. She could feel the power of this monster and warned Victor King carefully, “This snake is very strong. You have to be careful.”

Someone threw a probing skill over and immediately obtained information about the Nine Netherworld Black Python.

[Nine Netherworld Black Python (level 35): A monster that appears in the Gloom Forest from time to time]

For a moment, Bill was so angry that he almost cursed.

“What the hell! We’re so unlucky to encounter such a thing.”

There was a type of monster that would not stay in a certain place but wander randomly. For example, the Nine Netherworld Black Python they had encountered was one of them.

It did not belong to the Gloom Forest, but they happened to bump into it. They could only blame themselves for being too unlucky.

If it was a level 25 monster, they could still fight it. However, the problem was that this python was level 35. Its overall attributes were even higher than before. Their group might not be able to deal with it.

Even the cocky Bill was not confident. If they had to fight this monster, they would have to pay an unimaginable price. It was not worth it.

However, it would be too embarrassing if they left the Secret Realm in front of Abigail. Moreover, they would waste a chance to enter the Secret Realms, so they could only choose to run.

The body of the Nine Netherworld Black Python moved at an unbelievable speed. An afterimage flashed past in front of them, bringing with it a foul-smelling wind. Everyone’s nerves became tense.

As expected of a level 35 monster, its speed was too fast.

The others on the team were not so lucky.

“Ah!”

A scream pierced through the sky.

Someone was accidentally ambushed by the snake’s tail, and his entire body was suspended in the air. The huge snake’s body coiled around him like a dough twist.

He was also a Warrior, and with just a slight curl of his tail, more than half of his HP was gone. If it was a fragile Mage, he would probably be dead by now.

The others were all scared silly by this scene. “What are you guys standing there for? Hurry up and attack.”

This man’s combat power was quite high, and his level was not bad. He was an important figure in the Herbert family. Bill could not just watch him die here.

Only then did the others come back to their senses and throw their skills in a flurry.

The huge fireball smashed onto the body of the Nine Netherworld Black Python, but it did not even leave a mark, let alone break its defense. It was like a small spark that did not cause any wind or waves.

Bill’s expression was extremely ugly.

“Everyone else, attack together!”

Mages began to chant their skills. Arrows, various elements, magic, and physical attacks landed on the body of the python. However, its body was too big and its defense was high.

“No, Young Master Bill. The defense of the Nine Netherworld Black Python is too high. We won’t be able to break it.”

Bill and the others’ attacks were like tickles to the Nine Netherworld Black Python. Although they could not cause any damage, they were very annoying.

The snake’s tail quickly released the person who had been bound earlier. At this moment, his face was already red and green. If he continued to be entangled by the Nine Netherworld Black Python, he would probably suffocate to death.

However, Bill and the others were a little unlucky. The huge snake’s tail smashed down, and dust instantly flew everywhere. A huge pit appeared on the ground. If they had not dodged in time, they would have already become meat paste.

“Isn’t this a little too fierce?”

Everyone had lingering fears. They wanted to escape, but the Nine Netherworld Black Python would not let them off easily.

How could it let prey run away?

Abigail held Victor King’s hands. “Let’s go too.”

Bill threw a magic scroll in the direction of the Nine Netherworld Black Python. It was engraved with ancient patterns and symbols.

This was a high-level magic scroll that he had bought at a high price on the market. It was a one-time-use item that contained powerful magic power.

He had originally planned to use it at the end when he fought the Boss as a trump card. He did not expect to use it here.

He immediately revealed a pained expression. It could be seen that this spell scroll had really cost a lot of money.

A deafening clap of thunder rang out, as if the entire ground was shaking.

A huge amount of lightning power suddenly erupted, and the surrounding area was submerged in lightning.
