As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The flickering flames illuminated a chilling scene deep within the cavern.

Coiled there was a black python thicker than a water tank, its scales reflecting a sickening luster in the dim light.

Its scarlet eyes were like two lanterns, staring at everyone coldly, and its tongue flickered, emitting a suffocating fishy odor.

Ding Chen and others froze in place for a moment, a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Xiaoxuan subconsciously grabbed Ding Chen's sleeve, and her fingertips turned white.

The black python launched the first attack, and its huge body shot towards Ding Chen like an arrow, its bloody mouth opened, revealing its sharp fangs.

Ding Chen wanted to dodge, but found that there was a solid stone wall behind him and he had nowhere to retreat.

At the critical moment, General Lin roared, rushed forward and tried to push Ding Chen away.

However, the black python's huge tail swept across like a giant steel whip, whipping General Lin away fiercely. He fell heavily to the ground and let out a muffled groan.

"General Lin!" Ding Chen's eyes were bloodshot as he watched General Lin fall in a pool of blood, his heart filled with anger and powerlessness.

The black python approached again, its foul breath sprayed on Ding Chen's face, and the shadow of death enveloped him.

At this critical moment, a dark shadow flashed from the side...

Just when the black python was about to bite Ding Chen, Ying Feng rushed over from the side. The dagger in his hand flashed like lightning and accurately pierced the black python's eyes.

The black python let out a deafening roar, and its huge body twisted wildly, causing the cave to tremble.

The smelly blood gushed out and splashed all over Yingfeng, but he remained calm. He moved as fast as a cheetah and swung the dagger again, leaving several deep wounds on the black python.

Xiaoxuan took advantage of the moment when the black python was in pain and quickly took out a packet of medicine powder and sprinkled it on the black python's wound.

This powder is a highly toxic drug that she carefully developed, specifically to kill snakes. Once contaminated, the snake will quickly fester.

The flesh and blood at the black python's wound began to sizzle and emit bursts of white smoke. The intense pain made it struggle even more frantically. Its huge tail swept across, knocking down the surrounding stone pillars.

Stones fell like raindrops, and people dodged everywhere. The scene was in chaos.

Just then, the old hunter arrived.

He brought with him several homemade weapons, all made of the hardest wood and animal bones in the mountains, and extremely sharp.

He handed Ding Chen a barbed spear and said in a deep voice, "The scales of this beast are extremely hard. Ordinary swords and knives can hardly hurt it. Only this spear can cause greater damage to it!"

Ding Chen took the spear and glanced at Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan nodded to him with trust in her eyes.

Ding Chen felt Xiaoxuan's trust and his heart was filled with strength. He roared and rushed towards the black python, fighting a desperate battle with it.

He was agile and moved around the black python like a cheetah. The spear in his hand was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, constantly attacking the black python's vital point.

Although the black python was injured, it was still extremely ferocious. Its huge body rolled and twisted, shaking the cave.

It opened its bloody mouth and tried to swallow Ding Chen in one gulp. The fishy breath sprayed on Ding Chen's face, making people feel sick.

Ding Chen cleverly dodged the black python's attacks, and the spear in his hand kept stabbing at the black python's weaknesses.

The black python was enraged by Ding Chen and suddenly wrapped its body around Ding Chen, trying to strangle him to death.

Ding Chen only felt difficulty breathing, and his bones seemed to be crushed.

Seeing this, General Lin and Yingfeng were extremely anxious. They attacked the black python's body, trying to make it let go of Ding Chen.

The old hunter calmly gave them instructions, telling them the black python's weaknesses and when to attack.

Xiaoxuan continued to sprinkle the poison she had prepared on the black python. The poison corroded the black python's wounds, causing it great pain and its movements began to become slow.

After a thrilling fight, Ding Chen seized the opportunity and stabbed the spear into the black python's vital point.

The black python let out a shrill roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the cave seemed to tremble.

The smelly blood flowed all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Everyone sat on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

At this moment, a secret door suddenly appeared in the wall behind the black python.

The secret door emitted a faint light, like the eyes of a giant beast from the abyss, staring at everyone.

Ding Chen slowly stood up, walked towards the secret door, and stretched out his hand...

"Wait!" the old hunter suddenly spoke.
