The giant python's eyelids suddenly closed, and as Yao Beiluo thrust his spear, sparks flew from the serpent's scales, yet it failed to break through its defenses. Although he hadn't penetrated its defenses, the eyes were indeed a weak point for the python. His attack immediately drew the creature's ire; it opened its massive jaws, ready to swallow Yao Beiluo whole.
Lin Yao quickly wrapped the python's mouth with vines, attempting to force it shut, but the difference in their levels was too great, and the vines snapped instantly. At that moment, Wang Jincheng reacted first and unleashed a lightning-based ability. The giant python was momentarily stunned by the electric shock, shaking its enormous head and temporarily abandoning its attack on Yao Beiluo.
The rest of the team finally sprang into action, joining the fight. Although their abilities caused minimal damage—many not even breaking through the python's defenses—the sheer number of attacks became a nuisance for the creature. Moreover, these individuals were small and agile, making them difficult targets for the python to handle.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Lin Yao withdrew from combat and found Zhou Heng nearby. Together, they decided to dive into the water to search for treasure. They chose a relatively concealed spot where Lin Yao guided Zhou Heng as he activated his water-based ability to create an air bubble around them before slowly descending.
They smoothly reached their destination. Upon seeing a small tree swaying back and forth in the current, resembling yellow-green water plants, Zhou Heng could hardly believe that this was the exotic plant guarded by the giant python. Despite its unassuming appearance, this was indeed a Pure Source Fruit Tree.
Lin Yao initially didn't recognize the Pure Source Fruit, but when they arrived at Blue Belt River that day, she had heard the system frantically announcing several sign-in points. One of them was for discovering the sign-in point for "Giant Python's Guardian Object." She wondered if she should spend points to sign in.
Having previously signed in at purple, gold, and white points—spending 10, 20, and 30 points respectively—this green sign-in point was her first encounter. Wait a minute; it seemed like she had spent points at that energy matrix location too. However, she had been in such a rush that she hadn't paid attention and just completed the sign-in.
After observing carefully, she indeed found a green sign-in point among several white ones. Choosing to sign in, the system announced: "Sign-in successful; you have obtained Pure Source Fruit."
Lin Yao immediately opened her system panel to check:

Physical Skills Level 1

Qinggang Stone, Source of Living Water, Cedar Branch, White Leaf, and Pure Source Fruit—these were all renowned in the Yunmeng Star System. Consuming them raw provided pure extraordinary abilities and purified mental energy. However, the most economical effect came from concocting them into potions; the Purification Potion and the Mental Stability Potion were highly valued across the entire Yunmeng Star System.
Based on her recent findings, obtaining a Pure Source Fruit indicated that there might be related items in this area. Thus, she approached the riverbank, quietly using her wood-based abilities to investigate. Sure enough, under the powerful pressure of a giant python, she sensed a subtle fluctuation.
Initially, she only intended to cross the river, but upon discovering the Pure Source Fruit, she was struck by the idea of seizing the treasure before crossing. After all, such a valuable item shouldn’t be left for the beasts to enhance their strength.
Zhou Heng swallowed hard. "Can we really pick the Pure Source Fruit? What if it’s something the military has left behind to mature?" If they had known about this fruit tree long ago, how could they have designated this area as an examination site? Such a precious extraordinary fruit would surely be guarded like a treasure.
But then, how could they explain the presence of this giant python? It clearly exceeded the scope of the examination. The supervising party claimed it was within the exam range, which seemed unreasonable. Perhaps they were just trying to increase the difficulty of the exam and weed out some slackers!
"But—"
"Enough with the 'buts.' This is a rare treasure; if we miss this opportunity, it may never come again!" Lin Yao interrupted him urgently. "Are you ready? I’m going to pick the fruit."
Zhou Heng could only nod and fall silent. He was just about prepared—yes, ready.
Lin Yao activated her wood-based abilities and swiftly knocked down the Pure Source Fruit tree before quickly gathering all the fruits from its branches. The extraordinary plants grew such powerful fruits to attract various beasts for battle, allowing them to feast on their flesh and strengthen themselves.
If someone attempted to seize their fruits, they would not simply stand by; immediately shedding their harmless appearance, they lunged at Lin Yao with claws bared. Unfortunately for this extraordinary plant, it was likely its first time bearing fruit and lacked combat experience.
Although she managed to break free from Lin Yao's grasp just in time, the fruit was still completely picked clean.
With a command from Lin Yao, Zhou Heng quickly activated his water-based abilities to escape. Once he surfaced, Lin Yao hurriedly suggested they split up. "I'll take the Pure Source Fruit to lure the giant python for a while. Meet at Lintai Mountain when the time comes." Without waiting for his response, she dashed off in another direction, disappearing into the trees after a few leaps.
Watching her leave, Zhou Heng quickly moved away from the spot. Not far—less than a hundred meters—he saw the massive python, as thick as a water barrel, slithering through the area he had just vacated, rapidly pursuing Lin Yao.
The enraged python carried an even greater aura of intimidation; its overwhelming presence made Zhou Heng's heart race with fear, and he couldn't help but worry for Lin Yao's safety.
On the side of the combat team, many were injured and had fallen to the ground due to the python's furious strike. As they watched the giant creature retreat in anger, those left behind were uncertain whether to feel grateful for their escape or anxious about Lin Yao facing the wrath of the giant python.
However, despite their worries, there was work to be done. Yao Beiluo quickly organized aid for the injured and instructed everyone else to hurry across the river. Time was short; with thousands needing to cross, they had to move swiftly. If the giant python lost interest in its prey and returned in anger after failing to catch anyone, it would spell disaster for them all.
While everyone secretly worried about Lin Yao, her situation was actually better than they imagined. The exam wristbands could not isolate various scents due to their built-in space capabilities, but the system space could.
Before implementing her plan, she had already tested it and confirmed that the system space could store external items. So she had placed most of the Pure Source Fruits into the system space early on, leaving only one outside to attract the giant python. As for her earlier ruse of using a false treasure's scent to draw in the creature, that was merely a distraction.
Regardless of any other scent, in its fury, the giant python would only focus on the Pure Source Fruit.
