Chapter 41 Vine Serpent (2)

Words : 1055 Updated : Sep 10th, 2025

The python looked like it was enraged by the fact that it had been betrayed by these snakes.And it was justly outraged by this since these snakes were snakes that it had raised. These snakes were ordinary F Ranked Monsters that should have been at the very bottom of the food chain in this dungeon. However, because of the python raising them, they had a place to stay and plenty of food to eat. It was just that the python didn't have time to deal with these snakes. There was the more pressing issue of the Fanged Wolves coming at them. The snakes tried to hold the python, but the python was much stronger than the snakes since it was an Elite Monster. They were only able to get in its way a bit, but not enough to stop its movement. It moved away from the Fanged Wolves right before the attacks of the Fanged Wolves reached it. Or at least it would have if it wasn't for the fact that its body suddenly froze once more. It was only a temporary freeze, but it was enough for the Fanged Wolves to close the gap and slash at the python. The python was able to twist at the last second to avoid a fatal wound, but this wound wasn't that small either. That was because the Fanged Wolves knew exactly where to attack, they slashed right at the open wound that Lin Fan had caused before. That made it even worse, reaching the point where it was bleeding heavily now. It seemed like if the python didn't take the time to stop this bleeding, it would bleed out and die. But there was no time for that as more and more attacks came at it. The most annoying thing was that there was this strange force that kept freezing it at the most crucial moment. The freezing effect never lasted more than a few seconds, but that was enough to throw the python off balance and take hits that it shouldn't have taken. If it wasn't for the fact that the python had thick scales in the first place, it wouldn't have even lasted this long.

The python angrily hissed as it was being suppressed by these attacks, but it didn't scare the Fanged Wolves or the Leaf Snakes at all. They just continued to attack the python without any fear at all. It was almost as if they didn't feel fear at all. If the python could have spoken, it certainly would have said, "What is wrong with you?!" Or it might have even asked, "What is wrong with my pressure that they're just ignoring it like this?" While this was happening, I was just standing there watching it all happen. I didn't go in to help the Fanged Wolves or the Leaf Snakes, but that was because I knew that there was no need for me to help them. After watching the python for a bit, I was able to recognize what it was. A Vine Serpent, a D Ranked Monster. This Vine Serpent wasn't considered one of the powerful D Ranked Monsters, but it was certainly considered one of the craftier ones. That was because this Vine Serpent had a natural ability to blend into nature and hide itself. Instead of being a D Ranked Monster that focused on brute force, this was one that focused on stealth. This was the perfect assassin. "If it wasn't for the fact that I had the Echo Bat, then I never would have found this thing." I couldn't help saying to myself. After all, it was only because of the Echo Bat's hypnosis that I was able to make it let its guard down when it thought it won. Elite Monsters were resistant to the power of the Echo Bat, but it was only resistant to it. It didn't mean that it didn't have any effect at all on them. That was what was causing those moments where the Vine Serpent was freezing from time to time. The Echo Bat was using its hypnosis on it, even if it only lasted for a few seconds. Those few seconds created crucial opportunities to attack the Vine Serpent. At the same time, it also allowed the Fanged Wolves to avoid the attacks of the Vine Serpent. It wasn't as if the Vine Serpent didn't try fighting back against the Fanged Wolves. The Vine Serpent was a D Ranked Monster while the Fanged Wolves were E Ranked Monsters. Even if the Vine Serpent was a D Ranked Monster that was focused on stealth, the gaps between ranks weren't that easily closed. So all of the stats of the Vine Serpent were much greater than the Fanged Wolves. In a fair fight, the Fanged Wolves wouldn't stand a chance. It was just that before the Vine Serpent could attack the Fanged Wolves, my Echo Bat would always freeze it so it couldn't strike that blow. The Fanged Wolves were able to use that gap to get away from the Vine Serpent before its attack struck. The Vine Serpent looked more and more frustrated by all of this, but it also seemed to realize that it was in a dangerous and desperate situation. The problem was that the Vine Serpent couldn't find a way out of this. After a few more minutes, there was a large gash that was on the underside of the Vine Serpent. This was caused by my dagger and the repeated attacks of the Fanged Wolves. The Vine Serpent was also completely covered in its own blood from splashing it around while fighting with this large open wound. It looked like it was completely exhausted and that was because it was. It had lost too much blood and it couldn't keep itself straight any longer. The Vine Serpent gave one last frustrated hiss at the fact that it had been taken out like this. That hiss was filled with the unwillingness to die like this. Only it had no other choice.
