I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

Chapter 179 - 179 So Long, Friend



179 So Long, Friend

“Target spotted! Target spotted!”

“Commence bombardment!”

...

At this moment, in the sky above the deserted island, several fighter jets immediately launched an attack upon discovering Wang Mang.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of bombs had been dropped. They clearly intended to make this place his burial ground.

Of course, Wang Mang also realized this, but he had not expected the system to issue a mission at this juncture.

He still needed to choose a mission option!

Looking into the distance, he saw warships in the sea.

He did not delude himself into thinking that he could defeat even a single warship. That level of firepower was not something that he could handle.

Therefore, there was only one realistic option for him to choose.

“System, I choose Option 3!”

[Ding! Host has successfully selected the mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]

At this moment, Wang Mang had no time to bother with the system’s notification.

The first thing he did was to twist his huge body and quickly slither toward the sea.

He had to avoid being bombed into oblivion!

If he stuck around, both him and the island would be toast, quite literally!

There were so many bombs!

Flustered, Wang Mang fled for his life.

‘If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have helped the Octopus King!’

‘Perhaps this is karma…’

At this moment.

Bang!

Rumble!

Bang!

Rumble!

The cave where Wang Mang had emerged from had already collapsed, and flames covered many parts of the island.

Wang Mang screamed in pain as he was hit by the debris.

“Ah! F*ck! I’ve got to keep running!”

He endured the pain as best he could as he made his way to the shore at top speed.

When he looked up, he saw that there were still fighter jets flying above his head.

This was simultaneously both terrifying and exciting!

Fueled by his adrenaline, Wang Mang’s senses were heightened, as he did his best to dodge the falling bombs as he ran.

Even so, he was in a sorry state and riddled with injuries.

After all, it was impossible for him to fully avoid the blast zone and debris from the explosions. A few times, he almost took direct hits.

He would have been turned into minced meat if he made the wrong move.

“Just you wait, Blue Empire! Once I become strong enough, I’ll definitely go and mess with you!”

As Wang Mang fled, he gritted his teeth and cursed in pain.

The Blue Empire was bullying snakes!

F*ck!

There were so many people of different skin colors on the cruise ship, yet it was the weapon maniacs of the Blue Empire who had enthusiastically come to hunt them down.

Furthermore, they did not skimp on the troops they sent, and were packing so much heat!

Did they hate snakes that much?

Damn it! He was just an accomplice!

The main culprit was the Octopus King!

However, what Wang Mang did not know was that the Octopus King was in an even worse state than he was.

At this moment, in the sea near the deserted island, there were eight fully armed warships attacking the Octopus King.

The dense barrage of artillery fire and torpedoes was ripping apart the Octopus King, and he was struggling to stay alive.

Those ship cannons were no joke!

As the Octopus King thrashed about, he created giant waves that continuously crashed against the surface of the sea.

The Octopus King had even tried to attack the warship, but failed to make an impact.

The warships could keep him at bay by virtue of their firepower alone!

At this moment, on the deck of one of the Blue Empire’s warships, the commander was using binoculars to observe the thrashing Octopus King.

Then, the white-haired old man coldly ordered, “Try to capture it alive!”

At the same time, Wang Mang, who had just reached the shore, saw the eight warships in the distance attacking the Octopus King.

He was completely stunned. It seemed that his luck was not all that bad after all, and that Brother Octopus was tanking the majority of the hits.

This made him feel slightly better. However, now was not the time for such thoughts.

‘Brother Octopus!’

‘I would like to save you, but we are both in deep sh*t right now!’

‘These guys have brought the big guns, so I really can’t save you!’

‘Please keep tanking those hits and drawing aggro!’

As he sighed inwardly, Wang Mang hurriedly fled into the sea, and dove into its depths immediately.

Once he was about a kilometer deep, he immediately shrunk his body, and began to stealthily swim away from the battlefield.

At the same time, the pilots of the fighter jets chasing Wang Mang were dumbfounded..

They circled the area for a while before reluctantly confirming that they had lost their target.

How had such a huge python suddenly disappeared?

Wang Mang heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, just to be safe, he swam a few more kilometers before quietly surfacing.

However, when he heard the sound of artillery fire from afar, he dove back down.

It seemed that Brother Octopus was still fighting.

At this point, Wang Mang could only pray that the guy could survive!

However, he truly felt that it was unlikely. That level of firepower was something that could even destroy the giant monsters he had seen in the movies.

Thinking this, he rejoiced inwardly that he had chosen to go ashore to evolve.

Otherwise, he would have been tied down together with the Octopus King at sea, at the mercy of those ship cannons and bombs.

Two days later, Wang Mang had successfully escaped, and there were no signs of pursuit.

At this moment, the blue sky was clear, and if one went close enough, they would be able to hear the sound of a python humming a tune as it leisurely swam across the sea.

As he had shrunk his size, his speed had slowed down considerably. However, the smaller form was safer, and easier to avoid detection in.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 80,000 evolution value!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Silver Treasure Chest x1!]

Phew!

The arrival of the system’s notification meant that he was safe.

When he recalled the tragic death of the Octopus King, Wang Mang could not help but feel helpless.

Yesterday, he had seen eight warships dragging the corpse of the Octopus King behind them.

Sigh! What a pity!

He could only look at the corpse of a demon king, and could not devour it to earn evolution value.

Did he feel guilty?

Not at all!

He had only helped the Octopus King in order to earn the mission reward.

The death of the latter had nothing to do with him!

However, this guy was still somewhat useful.

At the very least, it was a warning to Wang Mang that demon kings were still no match for modern weapons, especially those that an empire’s army wielded.

“It seems that people die wherever I go!”

“Could it be that I am a jinx?”

Wang Mang sighed inwardly, but did not dwell on the matter.

In any case, he had survived, which was the most important thing.

After swimming along for some time, Wang Mang spotted another deserted island, and his eyes lit up as he hurriedly swam toward it.

He needed a place to evolve again!
