Chapter 1082: Chapter 1106:
Nianyang walked over, picked up the intercepted Arrow Feather and stuffed it into her pocket. Seeing how good her technique was, the people from Group One around her all bolted faster than rabbits.
It was obviously better to go hit someone else; hitting Nianyang was way too damaging to their self-esteem.
Just then, a "chi-chi-chi" sound rang out, crawling through the grass, carrying a chill-inducing, creepy vibe.
"Nian— Nianyang, th-there’s a python!"
With a thud, Zhong Wenqing was scared limp on the ground, his face paler than a ghost’s.
Nianyang turned around and saw a green python at least five meters long, its head as big as a soccer ball, rapidly slithering toward her. Its forked tongue was black, clearly marking it as a highly venomous snake.
There were still a few people nearby who hadn’t left yet. Seeing this scene, they screamed in terror.
"Shut up, no screaming." Nianyang snapped, her nerves tightening as well. Sure, this was deep in the mountains where all kinds of rare creatures could show up, but for the trainees’ safety, the coaches had spread Beast Repellent Powder around this area beforehand.
So why was there still a python here, and judging from its movement, it was coming straight at her!
"A python—how can there be a python?"
Li Tingyan’s face was as dark as it could get, and he directly spat out a curse,
"What the fuck were you doing with the arrangements? How the hell is there a snake? Are you sure the Beast Repellent Powder is all in place?"
The coach with the dark face turned white. "That’s impossible, we already set everything up. There shouldn’t be any snakes."
Li Tingyan ground his teeth. "Cut the fucking nonsense. Get in touch with the people at the foot of the mountain right now, have them come up and kill the snake immediately. If any trainee gets hurt, none of you will be able to bear the consequences."
With that, he strode off, rushing to save his wife.
Even though he knew Nianyang’s Combat Power wasn’t bad, if he didn’t see her with his own eyes, he just couldn’t relax.
For Nianyang, this python actually wasn’t that big of a deal. She was only tense because the snake looked terrifying; anyone seeing it for the first time would feel a bit short of breath.
But once you got used to it, it was fine. The instant the python came at her, Nianyang flicked out the silver needles between her fingers, swiftly stabbing into the seven-inch spot on the snake’s body. The python was huge; a single stab like that obviously wouldn’t be fatal.
But it was enough to make it dizzy for a short time. Nianyang seized the moment and pulled out another butterfly knife to attack.
When they came up the mountain, to guard against emergencies, the coaches had given each of them a butterfly knife for self-defense. Now it was finally coming in handy.
"What are you standing there for? Together!"
Nianyang shouted. Zhong Wenqing and the other trainees snapped out of it, their scalps tingling, but seeing that a girl like Nianyang could be so brave,
they gritted their teeth and joined the fight. So when Li Tingyan and the others rushed over, what they saw was the bloody python lying dead and limp on the ground.
"Oh my god!"
"We actually killed a snake this big!"
"I feel insanely badass right now."
A few trainees, having just survived a brush with death, huddled together and screamed in excitement.
Li Tingyan walked up to Nianyang, smothering the urge to pull her into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "You okay?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry." Nianyang gave a small smile and mouthed the words.
Just then the end-of-drill bell rang. Everyone, whether they’d been hit or not, came over to assemble. Seeing the dead python, Jian Qingqing and the other two girls were trembling in fear.
Li Tingyan ignored them and started tallying the results: four people from Group One had been hit, five from Group Two had been hit.
