An ordinary python, as Peng Shishan would say, was indeed nothing to fear. The explosion of the Thunder Flame Talisman flashed briefly, yet this lethal strike surprisingly failed to shatter the giant python's head. The python sensed its own Yin Ling Qi dissipating and went into a frenzy.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, black mist spewed from the python's mouth, laced with venom. The two men in black waved their arms, summoning a gust of wind to disperse the mist. Although the toxic fog was cleared, a lingering odor still permeated the air. At that moment, Li Fuxiu, Jiang Shi, and the others found their gas masks effective; modern products indeed had their uses.
However, Peng Shishan and the two men in black, lacking gas masks, held their breath but still inhaled some of it. Though it was just a little, it was still highly toxic. The two men in black took out an antidote pill and swallowed it, channeling their energy to expel the poison. Within ten breaths, they were fine, but Peng Shishan had no antidote pill and could not expel the poison with just his Inner Energy. His face quickly turned pale, and he struggled to breathe.
"Antidote! Can you give me an Antidote?" Peng Shishan looked at the two men in black with pleading eyes.
"We each brought only one; you think you can just take the Yin Ling Zhi Jing like this? How ridiculous," sneered the Slightly Overweight Black-Clad Man.
Seeing that Peng Shishan seemed to be in dire straits, Li Fuxiu, Jiang Shi, and the others rushed over.
"Li Fuxiu, we should hurry down the mountain and get Old Peng to the hospital," Jiang Shi said anxiously.
"This Snake Venom can take a life within three minutes. He’s a Martial Artist, so he might last for over ten minutes. If you can’t get him to a hospital within fifteen minutes, it’s pointless to even try," reminded the Tall Slim Man in Black calmly.
"What are we going to do?" Jiang Shi exclaimed in frustration.
Li Fuxiu also wore a grave expression, unsure of what to do next. The giant python's toxic mist and venom could only be expelled once; now realizing it was no match for these humans, it reacted quickly and attempted to dive into the water.
"Senior brother, it's trying to escape."
"Don’t let it get into the water! This beast has lost its Yin Ling Qi protection; kill it directly and take its gallbladder."
As they spoke, the two men in black sprang into action. The Slightly Overweight Man in Black hurled a stone the size of a basketball with all his might, striking the python against the jagged rocks at the edge of Longan Pool. The Tall Slim Man in Black dashed forward and landed on the python's abdomen, plunging his dagger down without hesitation. The dagger sank effortlessly into the python's belly, and then he dragged it along, slicing open a one-meter-long gash.
The python writhed in agony, barely clinging to life; this wound was too fatal for it to survive.
"Finally dealt with it! What a waste of a Thunder Flame Talisman, though," one remarked.
"Senior brother, this giant python withstood a Thunder Flame Talisman without dying; it's indeed remarkable. Its gallbladder, blood, and fangs should be valuable. Let’s take them all; perhaps we can trade them for some good medicine at the Divine Medicine Valley."
"You're right. Let's take it together. Junior Brother, you go down first and bring up the Yin Ling Zhi Jing."
Three minutes later, the slightly plump man in black resurfaced. This time, however, he held a small crystal in his hand, glowing with a faint blue light. The crystal was only the size of a palm, but it was clear and deep blue, resembling a precious gem, clearly a treasure.
