Chapter 132 A Blind Cat Stumbles Upon a Dead Mouse

Bai Heming frowned as he looked at the giant python. If it weren't for the scars around the python's eyes, he would have doubted whether this giant python was the same one he and Li Hengzhi had encountered before.

The two exchanged a quick glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Seniors, be careful! This giant python has become even thicker than before, and I'm afraid its power will also increase," Bai Heming quickly warned.

However, the seniors seemed even more excited after seeing the giant python appear, especially Mu Qing and Xuan Zhang, who leaped out of the snake swarm and flew towards the giant python.

"Ah Qing, don't you dare hold me back!"

"What a joke, the important thing is not to affect me."

Xuan Zhang threw a round hidden weapon directly at the giant python. The python swung its head to try to knock it off, but unexpectedly, the round hidden weapon stuck tightly to the python's neck.

Xuan Zhang raised an eyebrow and uttered the word "explode." The hidden weapons actually exploded one by one, making a huge noise. Even the cave was shaken, causing rocks to slide down, and the others nearby were shaken to the left and right.

"If you're planning to die with it, don't drag us down with you!" Mu Qing shook off the dust from her clothes and glared at Xuan Zhang without any politeness.

"Oh dear, my mistake, I thought four or five wouldn't be too powerful." Xuan Zhang realized that his actions just now were somewhat inappropriate, and his tone was slightly ingratiating.

Even though the python's scales were hard and thick, the close-range explosion still tore its skin open, causing it to feel waves of pain all over its body.

The python's roar grew increasingly piercing, as if venting its discontent. Su Huaiqi's ears hurt from the loud noise, and she quickly raised her hand to cover them. However, the small black snake on her wrist took the opportunity to climb up her arm and onto the python statue on the stone pillar.

Feeling his wrist lighten, Su Huaiqi quickly turned around and looked back, anxiously calling out, "Hey, Blackie, what are you doing? Come down quickly."

But the little black snake ignored Su Huaiqi's cries and continued to climb up the statue.

Su Huaiqi was worried about the little black snake on the statue, while also keeping an eye on the swarm of snakes that had slipped through the net and started attacking her. She was extremely anxious.

Apart from the two seniors, Xuan Zhang and Mu Qing, who were still fighting the giant python, the rest of the group facing the snakes had long lost their initial drive. Wave after wave of snakes were quickly draining their energy, and almost everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering.

Xuan Zhang and Mu Qing fared no better. Enraged, the giant python became even more frenzied, launching indiscriminate attacks. The venom it spewed could instantly obliterate any snakes on the ground. Xuan Zhang and Mu Qing had to dodge the venom while simultaneously harming the python, constantly shifting their positions on its body using their lightness skills. Even with their exceptional abilities, their strength eventually ran out.

Seeing the slightly disheveled state of everyone and the increasing number of snakes crawling towards the stone pillar, Su Huaiqi gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt and tucked it into her waistband, then turned around and climbed up the stone pillar using both hands and feet, following the trail of the little black snake as she climbed upwards.

As she climbed higher and higher, her heart began to race, and sweat dripped from her forehead. The cool touch of the statue beneath her hands slowly calmed Su Huaiqi down, but the little black snake had vanished without a trace.

There were few lights in the cave, and they were all below ground, which made it difficult for her to see clearly what was happening in front of her after she climbed up. She could only vaguely see the giant python swaying back and forth.

Just as she was quickly thinking about what to do next, the little black snake that had disappeared suddenly reappeared at the snake's tail on the statue and hissed at her.

Su Huaiqi slowly turned towards the snake's tail and saw red ropes tied to the tip of the statue's tail, with small golden bells hanging from the ropes, and the other end of the ropes extending into all directions of the cave.

She didn't know what the red ropes and bells were for, and fearing that touching them rashly would cause more danger, she could only continue to hold onto the stone pillar without making any movement.

But the little black snake was right at the snake's tail. Su Huaiqi was afraid that the little black snake would touch the red ropes, so he quickly whispered, "Blackie, come here quickly."

But the little black snake just tilted its head and hissed at Su Huaiqi, then climbed up the statue's tail to the red rope without looking back. Under Su Huaiqi's watchful eyes, it tugged at the red rope with its tail.

As soon as the red rope moved, the bells hanging on it jingled loudly, and the sound of the bells began to echo throughout the entire cave.

The people below were surprised by the sudden sound of the bell, but what surprised them even more was that the moment the bell rang, the swarm of snakes seemed to be paused, no longer baring their fangs and claws as before, and slowly retreated to the edge of the open space.

Seeing the snakes retreat, Yu Zechuan immediately turned back to look at the central stone pillar, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

He immediately cried out in a flustered voice, "Qiqi, Su Huaiqi!"

"Hey, here I am!" Amidst the jingling of bells, Su Huaiqi precisely caught Yu Zechuan's voice and quickly poked his head out from the stone pillar to respond.

Yu Zechuan was surprised that Su Huaiqi's voice came from above. He quickly looked up and was astonished to see how high she had climbed. He said worriedly, "The snakes have retreated. Come down, it's alright now."

Hearing the snakes retreat, Su Huaiqi was startled and immediately looked at the little black snake, asking with some surprise, "Blackie, was it the sound of the bell that made the snakes retreat?"

The little black snake didn't answer anything; instead, it continued to twitch the red rope with its tail.

"Idiot, what can Blackie tell you!" Su Huaiqi slapped his forehead and hurriedly shouted to the people below, "Ayu, did the snakes retreat because of the bell?"

“Yes, the snakes stopped attacking as soon as the bell rang.” Yu Zechuan seemed to have guessed that the bell rang might be related to Su Huaiqi’s question.

Su Huaiqi was overjoyed. He never expected that a blind cat would stumble upon a dead mouse, and that being forced to climb the pillar would bring unexpected joy.

But how could she still vaguely see the giant python swaying back and forth?!

Is the bell not loud enough?

Thinking of this, Su Huaiqi had no more worries. He climbed directly to the red ropes and randomly flicked all the red ropes, causing the bells to ring out in unison.

No matter how loud the bell rang, the python was not affected like the other snakes; instead, it became even more agitated as the snakes retreated.

Mu Qing rolled on the ground, barely dodging the giant python's tail attack. After getting up, he saw the group of people standing not far away in a daze. He was instantly furious and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Come and help!"

Lin Feiran looked at Mu Qing, who was covered in dust and dirt, and rushed over first with great concern, only to be stopped by Mu Qing.

"What are you doing getting involved, you doctor? Go stand aside."

"Ah Qing, your favoritism is too blatant." Chen Kangnian followed closely behind and stood next to Mu Qing.

"Hmph, so what if I'm biased? It's because your husband Xie didn't come today."

Seeing that Bai Heming, Li Hengzhi, Yu Zechuan, and the other juniors had encountered the giant python, Mu Qing withdrew from the battlefield without any hesitation.

Seeing Mu Qing about to leave, Xuan Zhang called out, "Qing, are you leaving already? Aren't you going to have a final showdown?"

"In a little while, let the younger generation gain some experience first."

"You certainly know how to make excuses." Although Xuan Zhang felt that Mu Qing's reasons were somewhat high-sounding, it didn't stop him from making the same decision and directly pulled Gongsun Rang, who had just arrived beside him, out of the battlefield.

"Uncle Chen, why don't you go and rest for a while?" Bai Heming asked Chen Kangnian, who was still fighting alongside them.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Chen Kangnian smiled and declined Bai Heming's offer.

The giant python watched as the number of attackers grew, and the snakes that were supposed to help it disobeyed its commands and dared to retreat on their own. The snakes' betrayal filled it with resentment. Enraged, it lashed out with its tail at the edge of the snakes' territory, as if to vent its fury completely.

The snakes that had retreated to the edge never expected the python to be so cold-blooded. When the python lashed out with its tail, those snakes that didn't have time to dodge were whipped to death.

The giant python, still seemingly unsatisfied after its whipping, continued to spew venom at areas with a high concentration of snakes, completely disregarding the humans it had just been fighting.

Chen Kangnian frowned slightly as he watched the giant python's movements and warned the others, "Be careful, the giant python seems to be quite angry."

Bai Heming and the other two stood around Chen Kangnian, about to launch a joint attack on the giant python, when they discovered that the snakes that had been retreating had become restless again.

However, this time the snakes seem to have changed their targets.

Hundreds of snakes surged toward the giant python from all directions, hissing as if announcing their fury.

The giant python coldly surveyed the swarm of snakes, which resembled ants, seemingly disdainful of their attack.

Chen Kangnian realized something was wrong and quickly led Bai Heming and the other two to retreat to Mu Qing's side.

Although the snake swarm is extremely small compared to the python, the sheer number of snakes climbing up the python's body makes its strength far less than the number of snakes.

The giant python was entangled by the snakes and unable to move. Suddenly, it felt an unprecedented fear and began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the snakes' grasp. But the more it struggled, the tighter the snakes' coils became.

Finally, the python struggled in vain, lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground. The remaining snakes on its body retreated and continued to huddle at the edge of the enclosure.

"Do you think this counts as the clam and the heron fighting, while the fisherman benefits?" Xuan Zhang raised his eyebrows as he looked at everything that was happening before him.

"Nonsense! Have you ever seen a fisherman get involved and almost exhaust himself to death?" Mu Qing retorted directly. After speaking, he picked up his curved knife and walked to the giant python's side to check on its condition.
