Yun Juan, who had been wandering around the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity, finally made her move! She did not use her usual "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear"; instead, she quickly formed seals with her hands, chanting incantations under her breath, and a faint green aura lingered around her—she was racing against time to cast an intermediate binding spell that required chanting time, just to seize this fleeting opportunity!

  Although the Ice Scale Python was initially restrained by the vines, it also keenly sensed the fatal threat. Ignoring Yun Shu’s continuous fire harassment, it twisted its huge body frantically. The single horn on its head suddenly gathered biting cold light, and the cold air around it became even more piercing. It was clearly accumulating power to prepare for a more powerful ice breath, and a storm that could sweep the entire field was about to descend with a bang.

  "We can’t let it release the breath!" Mo Jing’s eyes narrowed, and she stepped forward with her spear again. The Seven-Star Overlord Spear danced impenetrably, and on the spear body, the four elements of thunder, fire, wind, and ice shone alternately, transforming into four agile energy dragons that tightly wrapped around the Ice Scale Python’s body, constantly interfering with its power accumulation and making it impossible for it to concentrate on gathering cold energy.

  Ji Wuli also pushed the Mirage Illusion to the limit. The scene in front of the Ice Scale Python was completely distorted, and even several afterimages of Mo Jing appeared, indistinguishable from the real one. Each afterimage held a spear and attacked it, making the furious giant python even more irritable, roaring endlessly, and its power accumulation rhythm was completely disrupted.

  Three breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and Yun Juan’s spell was finally ready!

  "Thorn Entanglement · Modified!" She let out a soft shout, pushing her hands forward fiercely. With the infusion of spiritual power, countless green energy vines with sharp barbs appeared out of thin air, like agile giant pythons, instantly wrapping around the Ice Scale Python’s huge body and tightening rapidly at a visible speed! The barbs on the vines glowed with a light purple paralyzing aura, faintly exuding a fatal deterrent.

  This was a spell improved by Yun Juan combining her medical knowledge. It could not only firmly bind the target, but the barbs on the vines would also release a small amount of neurotoxin to weaken the opponent’s resistance! The Ice Scale Python let out a shrill hissing, struggling frantically. The twisting of its huge body shook the ground slightly, but those energy vines were extremely tough, locking it tightly like steel cables, and it couldn’t break free for a while. The cold light gathered in its mouth gradually dissipated, and the power accumulation failed completely.

  "Now! Jingjing, the reverse scale under its jaw!" Yun Juan’s eyes were sharp, accurately locking on the Ice Scale Python’s death spot, and reminded anxiously.

  Mo Jing’s eyes turned sharp, no longer hesitating. She poured all her spiritual power and strength into the Seven-Star Overlord Spear, and the tip of the spear glowed with cold light. She locked on the slightly lighter-colored, unprotected reverse scale under the Ice Scale Python’s jaw, jumped up, and stabbed fiercely with one shot!

  "Puchi——!" This time, the sharp spear tip finally broke through the Ice Scale Python’s hard defense, stabbing deeply into its reverse scale, and blood gushed out instantly, carrying biting cold air.

  "Roar——!" The Ice Scale Python let out a heart-wrenching scream of pain. Its huge body twitched violently, and the intensity of its struggle suddenly weakened, as if its backbone had been pulled out, and it could no longer resist.

  Mo Jing did not pull out the spear immediately. Instead, through the spear body, she transmitted a bioelectric current with a specific frequency, precisely calculated by Professor Jiu, into the Ice Scale Python’s body! The Ice Scale Python’s huge body twitched violently a few times, the ferocity in its eyes completely faded, and finally it fell to the ground with a bang, falling into a deep paralytic state, like a collapsing iceberg, motionless.

  "We did it! We really captured it!" Yun Shu put away the Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher on her arm guard, let out a long sigh of relief, and her face was full of the joy and excitement of surviving a disaster.

  She stepped forward quickly and buckled the collar around the Ice Scale Python’s neck. The collar instantly lit up with a faint blue light, automatically shrinking to the appropriate size. The binding formation on it slowly operated, continuously releasing weak suppressing energy, firmly locking the Ice Scale Python’s spiritual power, making it unable to wake up or mobilize any power.

  "Let’s put it into my spatial bracelet first, and deal with it slowly when we go back." Mo Jing waved her hand, and with the power of the spatial bracelet, she instantly put the huge Ice Scale Python into it. Her spatial bracelet had been optimized by Professor Jiu, and it was completely fine to store living things for a short time.

  Just as everyone relaxed a little and Ji Wuli proposed to pick the "Ice Crystal Lotus" growing alongside the Ice Scale Python by the cold pool, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several sharp arrows pierced through the air, wrapped in biting cold vitality, shooting like deadly meteors from the dense forest on the side, directly targeting Yun Juan, who was bending down to pick the Ice Crystal Lotus, and the speed was too fast to react!

  "Be careful!" Ji Wuli had been maintaining part of the illusion array and was extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding aura. He detected the danger at the first time. He didn’t have time to think, rushed forward suddenly, and threw Yun Juan to the ground fiercely.

  The arrows nailed firmly into the ground where they had just stood, and the arrow tails were still trembling violently, glinting with cold light, like a mockery from the god of death. Only a hair’s breadth away, Yun Juan would have died from the arrows.

  "Who is it?!" Mo Jing turned around with her spear instantly, the aura around her suddenly turned cold, her eyes were as cold as frost, and her sharp gaze stared firmly at the direction of the dense forest where the arrows came from, and the spiritual power around her was already ready to go.

  Yun Shu also raised her heavy sniper rifle instantly, the muzzle accurately locked on that direction, her eyes were sharp, and the fighting intent around her surged, like a cheetah ready to pounce, ready to pull the trigger at any time to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

  Five figures walked slowly out of the dense forest, with steady steps and unfriendly auras. Leading them was an arrogant young man in luxurious clothes, holding an exquisite long bow. Obviously, he was the one who shot those cold arrows just now. Behind him were four followers with strong auras, each with fierce eyes, staring at Mo Jing and the other four covetously, like a group of hungry wolves, ready to pounce and bite at any time.

  "I’ve taken a fancy to this Ice Crystal Lotus." The young man in luxurious clothes pointed at the Ice Crystal Lotus that Yun Juan had just picked with the tip of his bow, his tone arrogant and taken for granted. "And the Ice Scale Python you just captured, hand it over together. For the sake of your hard work, I can reward you with a few spirit stones, which is not a loss."

  Mo Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingers tightened slightly, gripping the Seven-Star Overlord Spear in her hand. She clearly felt the undisguised hostility from the other party, and also detected a faint aura fluctuation—that aura was somewhat similar to the "Huixian Mansion" assassins who had attacked them before, making her instantly alert.

  She took a step forward, protecting Yun Juan, Yun Shu and Ji Wuli behind her. The Seven-Star Overlord Spear pointed obliquely at the ground, and the tip of the spear glowed with cold light, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, and the aura around her became even colder.

  "Want it? Come and get it yourself!" Her voice was calm, but with an undeniable coldness, like the north wind in the cold winter, sweeping the entire field in an instant, making the surrounding air seem to freeze a little.

  The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Both sides were at daggers drawn, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. It seemed that as long as there was a little carelessness, this conflict would be detonated, triggering a life-and-death struggle.

  The young man in luxurious clothes obviously did not expect Mo Jing to be so tough and not give him any face at all. His face suddenly turned gloomy, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes: "If you don’t appreciate kindness, you’ll get punishment! Go get them, take the Ice Crystal Lotus and the Ice Scale Python, and kill anyone who resists on the spot!"

  The four followers behind him immediately responded, moving quickly. Two of them held long knives and rushed towards Mo Jing aggressively, with knife light flashing, carrying sharp killing intent; one pounced on Ji Wuli, who had just stood up, intending to contain him; the other stood in place, chanting incantations quickly, with a faint black aura lingering around him, obviously a mage, preparing to cast an offensive spell.

  "Looking for death!" Mo Jing’s eyes turned cold, and instead of retreating, she advanced. The golden light around her surged, and the Seven-Star Overlord Spear turned into a golden lightning, striking first, stabbing directly at the two knife-wielders rushing to the front!

  "Clang! Clang!" Two clear metal collision sounds rang out with a bang. The two knife-wielders rushing forward only felt a huge force coming from the knife, their tiger mouths burst open instantly, blood flowed, and the long knives in their hands almost flew out of their hands. The two stepped back in horror, their arms numb, as if hit hard by a heavy hammer, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

  At the same time, the follower pouncing on Ji Wuli suddenly saw countless illusions of green vines entanglement in front of him, his movements couldn’t help but stagnate, and his steps stumbled. Ji Wuli took the opportunity to cast the Earth Escape Technique, his figure flashed, and he quickly pulled away, while counterattacking with a small illusion to further interfere with the opponent’s judgment.

  And the mage had just chanted half of the incantation and hadn’t completed the spell power accumulation yet, Yun Shu’s heavy sniper rifle had already firmly locked on his head, with faint firelight at the muzzle. As soon as he made any movement, she would pull the trigger immediately to deliver a fatal blow.
