Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 39: This has nothing to do with me

A black python as thick as a lamppost slithered out of the hollowed bark, extending its red tongue. It crashed into Ye Ci, and held the package in its mouth.

When Ideal Height 1.7m saw the python she shouted, "Gongzi, watch out!" and she cast a Frost Arrow, hoping to draw the aggro of the python.

Let Go Of That Girl panicked. He was a melee classed player, and could not perform any ranged attacks, "What the hell! It's not supposed to come out so early! Who's the one who designed this quest, it's rigged!"

The python had appeared early, which was why the group was caught off guard. Fortunately, Ye Ci was someone who who was a mage in her past life, and she just happened to be a Huntress in her current life. She knew that the time which the python will appear was flexible, and her Balance was high.

She leaped into the air, intending to grab hold of the package.

According to Ye Ci's calculation, as long as she could land on either the snake or the dead tree, she could bounce back onto the cliff with a little force.

However, reality would not always unfold as one would expect.

In a flash, the python coiled itself around Ye Ci and she fell downwards.

Even with her past life experiences as a Sorceress, this sudden change managed to surprise Ye Ci. Reflexively, she tried to break free, but the python's coil tightened around Ye Ci.

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Ideal Height 1.7m was so startled that she shouted out in a shrill voice, "Gongzi! Be careful!"

Let Go Of That Girl leaned forward, trying to grab hold of Ye CI, "Gongzi, give me your hand! Grab on to me!"

The Frost Arrow cast by Ideal Height 1.7m landed on the python precisely at that moment. The python opened its mouth and roared with anger. The package in its mouth fell out, and Ye Ci caught it. She then threw the package up the cliff.

The python breathed poison at the two trying to help Ye Ci, and fell down the cliff with Ye Ci in its embrace.

The bottom of the cliff was like a deep abyss, if one fell down that would be the end of them. There would be no chance for survival. Losing experience points while helping somebody out with their quest? What a joke. Ye Ci was determined to not let this happen. She drew out her Venomous Scorpion Stinger and stabbed at the python.

With slippery scales covering the entire length of its body, Ye Ci's stab only dealt a little more than 100 damage, which was nothing to the python that had 200,000 HP.

Fortunately, the Venomous Scorpion Stinger's passive managed to proc. The python turned into a shade of green after being poisoned, causing it to struggle in pain. The python's struggle caused its body to tense up, further constricting Ye Ci and forcing the air out of her lungs.

Ye Ci could feel her head spinning and darkness began to creep into her vision. She was completely at the python's mercy. Even with her godlike skills, she could do nothing in this situation.

.

Before her world was completely enveloped by darkness, Ye Ci thought helplessly: What an embarrassing first death ever since her rebirth!

Ideal Height 1.7m and Let Go Of That Girl could only watch with eyes wide as Ye Ci fell down the cliff, along with the python that had coiled around her. Ideal Height 1.7m was especially panicked, she was still holding the quest item that Ye Ci had thrown upwards.

"Gongzi!!" she shouted.

Let Go Of That Girl grabbed hold of her, "Let's go down there!"

Before the duo could descend from the mountain, a party notification chimed in, "Your party member 'Gongzi You' was kicked out from the party by the System."
