Chapter 1122 - 1121: Python
"Hiss~" The all-too-familiar sound came from behind, which was always made in beast form by Ya Li, who used to follow by every day.
It was a snake!
Maomao, holding Ji Nuan in her mouth, turned her head and placed her on her own back, then dashed to a safe area nearby.
Xiu Yan was left alone in the arena, staring menacingly at the giant python that had already protruded its body from the canopy.
The giant python, with a red-based patterned body and a triangular head, had one injured eye that continually bled out.
The other sinister triangular eye glared fiercely at Xiu Yan, filled with murderous intent.
Xiu Yan, facing away from Ji Nuan, looked even more sinister and terrifying. With a strong grip, he burst the spherical object held in his hand.
A grim smile actually appeared on his cold face.
Swinging his sharp claws, he charged again.
The giant python, harboring murderous intent towards the Orc that had cost it an eye, collapsed its body like a loosed arrow, also lunging towards the Orc.
Xiu Yan had not transformed into beast form, and in his Orc form, he seemed like a mere blade of grass under a tree compared to the giant python.
But this blade of grass was no ordinary weed; the Orc’s mouth curved into a cruel arc, and his agile body rotated in mid-air, his left claw flashing a sharp light in the sunlight.
He left a ferocious scar on the thick scale armor of the giant python.
Seeing itself wounded once again by the despised Orc, the giant python threw back its head and hissed, its triangular eyes slightly reddening.
It lashed its tail and rushed at Xiu Yan again.
The Orc remained agile in dodging, not in a hurry to kill it, but nonetheless repeatedly inflicting gruesome wounds on the python’s body.
Finally, the heavy blood loss made the giant python sense the threat to its life. Reluctantly, it hissed at Xiu Yan and turned to crawl towards the dense bushes nearby.
It had memorized the Orc’s scent. Once it swallowed ten or so wild beasts to recuperate, it would come back and battle this detestable Orc for three hundred rounds.
But there’s an apt saying, isn’t there? Come when you want, leave when you want; do I have no dignity?
Xiu Yan sneered coldly, grabbed the python’s tail, and swung it up.
The python writhed in pain, and upon falling to the ground, immediately opened its mouth to bite at Xiu Yan, but...
Ideals are plump, reality is lean; strength is not something size can compensate for.
Having had its vital section cut and its snake gallbladder removed by Xiu Yan, the python glared deathlessly towards a female jumping in from a distance as it breathed its last.
Just for such a minuscule meal, it had lost its honor; truly a miscalculation.
Xiu Yan took a cotton towel from his Beast Skin clothes and wiped the snake blood splattered on Ji Nuan’s neck and face.
"I’ll heat some water tonight for you to clean up."
Ji Nuan nodded obediently: "Okay."
The Orc’s demeanor just now was really rare; during her time in the Tribe, Ji Nuan rarely saw Orcs in combat.
Most of the time, those wild beasts hadn’t even gotten close to him before they were killed.
The way he treated the giant python today could almost be considered slaughter, but thinking that the Orc did this for her, Ji Nuan felt sweet inside.
A radiant smile appeared on her small face, and not minding the snake blood all over the Orc’s body, she hugged him tightly, "Brother Xiu Yan, I really like you so much."
