Chapter 309: Chapter 309

The family heads watching the live broadcast were each deep in thought, while inside the instance, seeing three heirs—one relying on looks, another on strength, and one sleeping like a dead pig—Qian Qi finally decided not to rely on them.

If a man could be trusted, a sow could climb a tree; better to be self-sufficient!

"Let’s go, no point staying here." She pointed in the direction where the flying device had fallen, "The cart will find its way around the mountain, a bright future awaits us, let’s retrieve my flying device first. I just checked its price, it’s two hundred million!"

The price is almost as high as a hovercar, and the dodging mechanism of the flying device is extremely nimble, its corrosion resistance seems strong too. Losing it would be such a pity, better to retrieve it to supplement household use.

Gong Qiang glanced at Nangong Yan, "I also think it’s better if we leave here first; if these Emperor Lotuses really spew corrosive black liquid, we are doomed."

Nangong Yan nodded with a smile, "Alright."

The group began moving in the direction where the flying device fell, and as they approached the signal device, Qian Qi’s Light Brain quickly reconnected with the flying device. She maneuvered the device as they moved forward, avoiding areas that might alarm the Poisonous Emperor Pythons, and finally reached the vicinity of the boss location on the system map.

She poked her head out and looked around, but saw no Poisonous Emperor Pythons nearby. Just as she was about to turn back and ask the system, she caught sight of a Poisonous Emperor Lotus behind Nangong Yan, on which a Poisonous Venomous Python, only a fifth the size of other Emperor Pythons, shot a cold, terrifying golden gaze at Nangong Yan.

Even as a young python, its long, stout body was many times larger than a human. Its tail tightly coiled around the stem of the Poisonous Emperor Lotus, while the front half of its body extended through the air, silently slithering towards Nangong Yan’s back, then suddenly opened its fanged mouth to bite at Nangong Yan’s head!

At that moment, Qian Qi’s heart abruptly contracted. The figure of Nangong Yan overlapped with a small, blurry figure in her mind. Almost instinctively, she activated her Speed Charm Skill, lunging towards Nangong Yan, tackling him into the black water pool, raising her hand to firmly block the fangs of the young python, with her arm stuck in its tightly clenched jaws!

With all her might, she managed to control the poisonous young python’s head, unable to move an inch further!

"Get down!" Her gaze turned slightly fierce as she ordered in a low voice, changing her arm position for more leverage. Her hands suddenly exerted force again, pressing the head of the poisonous young python into the black water, the struggling snake body pulling the entwined Poisonous Emperor Lotus down too, casting a massive shadow over the black water pool.

"Pfff—" The attacked young python’s throat moved, spraying a corrosive venom all over Qian Qi’s body, causing a sizzling corrosion sound on the S-level Defense Armor.

Though it caused no corrosive damage to Qian Qi, the sudden darkness that impaired her vision briefly weakened her grip, giving the young python a chance to retract its body and lift Qian Qi into the air!

Suddenly knocked into the black water pool, Nangong Yan, in a daze, looked at the sky. Realizing what had happened, his heart raced like a drum. He couldn’t fathom how he nearly escaped death by snake, nor could he believe he was saved by Qian Qi.

He looked up to see the slender figure being carried into the air and shouted sternly, "Gong Qiang! Grab the Emperor Lotus!"

"I’m on it!" Gong Qiang leapt and grabbed the rising Emperor Lotus, forcing the poisonous young python to be suspended in mid-air too. Meanwhile, Nangong Yan got up and quickly commanded, "Sun Ping, Li Wan, draw your bows!"

"Yes!" In the signal advance team, Sun Ping and Li Wan immediately manifested two A-level Energy Bows, aiming at the mouth and forehead of the poisonous young python. However, the young python was incredibly agile, easily dodging the arrows, and retaliating by whipping its massive tail towards them.

The group rapidly retreated; Gong Qiang climbed onto the body of the poisonous young python, striking it hard with the Mystic Black Hammer charged with Thunderstorm Power. The clash between the Thunder Elemental Power and the black snake scales made a crackling sound, causing the scales in that area to rise and throw Gong Qiang off.

"Roar—" The young python let out a screech, turning to bite at Gong Qiang. The Poisonous Emperor Pythons resting in the black water nearby stirred slightly but didn’t look their way. Only the Emperor Python King glanced over yet remained still.

The young python’s sound wasn’t a plea for help but an excited screech.

Stuck between the young python’s fangs, Qian Qi wiped the venom off her helmet visor, cautiously scanning her surroundings. Realizing no nearby Poisonous Emperor Pythons had been disturbed, she let out a sigh of relief, only to see Gong Qiang rapidly "approaching" her.

As he passed by Qian Qi, Gong Qiang shouted, "What are you staring at! Grab me!"

Qian Qi couldn’t catch him, so she yelled, "Brother Qiang! Zap its throat!"

Gong Qiang was used to forming a battle rhythm with Tang Yan, where she used her brains and he used his brawn. So without command, he’d blindly fight the young python for a while, but under Qian Qi’s direction, he was easily misled.

So after being swallowed by the young python, Gong Qiang didn’t release any skills but instinctively unleashed his Thunder Attribute Skill as he passed down the throat.

The sudden zap made the young python’s throat feel an itchy pain, causing it to sneeze uncontrollably, spewing out old venom.

The wave of old venom enveloped Gong Qiang, passing by Qian Qi once more.

Qian Qi raised two fingers together and brushed them across her forehead, moved by herself, saying, "Brother Qiang, have a safe journey, no need to thank me."

Thank you, my ass! What was that crap idea, being spit out with old phlegm, how is that any better!

Gong Qiang fell into the black water, splashing up a large sheet of it, while Qian Qi, wedged between the fangs, finally opened those gigantic fangs and jumped down.

Noticing Qian Qi’s escape, the poisonous young python opened its mouth and bit her as she fell, tossing her high into the sky. It played with her curiously, like a kitten toying with an insect, intrigued and fascinated by a human it had never seen.

Meanwhile, Qian Qi and the others, worried about attracting hordes of Emperor Pythons due to the commotion of the fight, cautiously evaded its attacks, planning to hide and find a better opportunity.

Plunging down from the sky, Qian Qi rapidly approached the ground. The young python swung its massive tail, intending to strike the descending Qian Qi like a ball. Calculating she couldn’t grab or evade the tail in time, Qian Qi crossed her arms defensively to brace against the impact of massive force.

Yet the expected impact never arrived; suddenly, her legs were lifted, and looking up, Qian Qi found Nangong Yan repeatedly flashing before her. The next second, he pulled her from the air, pinning her under a stem of an Emperor Lotus in the black water.

"Fuck, you can teleport?" Qian Qi exclaimed in shock.

Nangong Yan held a finger to his lips, gesturing for silence, as he glanced at the slowly swimming poisonous young python nearby still searching for them.
