Chapter 59

Tu Si was both terrified and furious. He never expected that the beast pet, which had been obedient for the past two days, would suddenly go berserk in such a situation.

Yes, it had gone berserk. In Tu Si's eyes, the Black Gold Armored Python was an overwhelmingly powerful beast that they could not possibly resist. Any rash action would only drag the entire team into a deep abyss.

He clenched his teeth in frustration, regretting not having controlled these uncontrollable factors earlier.

In the current situation, the only thing Tu Si could do was to keep everyone calm and hold out until reinforcements arrived from the outpost.

Since seeing Luca's signal, Outpost Five should have already dispatched reinforcements to rescue them.

The patrol team now needed to hold out for at most one hour, waiting for the outpost to take action upon seeing Luca's signal.

Judging by the speed at which the Black Gold Armored Python was tightening its encirclement,

they should be able to hold out for an hour. All Tu Si could do now was pray that his luck wouldn't run out and that the beast wouldn't suddenly accelerate its attack or decide to eat them as snacks.

However, all of this was based on the most ideal scenario.

Tu Si knew well that relying on the behavior of a beast for their lives was neither rational nor responsible.

But at the same time, he dared not provoke the beast, as that would only hasten their deaths.

Silem, however, was watching his beast pet intently, standing firmly by its side despite Tu Si's fear.

"Little Eight must have a plan; he wouldn't act like this without reason." Silem clenched his fists, unsure if he was speaking to Tu Si and the others or to himself.

He trusted Little Eight deeply. Although this was the first time Silem had seen this particular beast, he felt that Little Eight seemed very familiar.

It seemed as though the little guy was extremely confident.

Indeed, the Crystal Ice Flame Hound was very confident. It had already assessed the situation and recognized the beast that Lancelot had described to Xiao Qi. So, without any further orders from its owner, Little Eight continued its actions.

Little Eight trusted its judgment, running with fiery steps, circling faster and faster.

In the shocked gaze of the patrol team, suddenly, the gray figure darted like lightning towards a specific point on the tightening body of the Black Gold Armored Python.

With its sharp teeth bared, Little Eight struck the massive beast with lightning speed.

"It's useless; the Black Gold Armored Python's defense..." Tu Si watched in despair, believing this attack would have no effect.

But in the next moment, something astonishing happened.

When the lightning stopped, they saw Little Eight biting the spot on the Black Gold Armored Python's forehead that no one else had found.

With a fierce expression, Little Eight bit down hard on the scales on the side of the python's face, trying to tear them off from its heavily armored body.

The Black Gold Armored Python was shocked. It had been secretly observing this unfamiliar beast that posed a threat but never expected that the other party had already identified its head.

And in the moment it let its guard down, the beast attacked with blinding speed.

In pain, the python, whose head was nearly twice the size of Little Eight, lifted and thrashed violently.

But Little Eight was not as weak as it appeared. It was a formidable beast pet capable of fighting a Level Six beast head-on.

Its strong claws dug deep into the python's scales, securing itself firmly.

At the same time, icy blue flames began to seep through Little Eight's teeth into the python's body.

The ice flames, with their internal melting properties, entered the python's body, causing even greater pain. The burning sensation inside was unbearable for the massive beast.

Seeing its prey thrashing wildly, Little Eight nimbly flipped in the air.

It landed steadily on the python's forehead.

No matter how much the giant snake struggled and shook, destroying wooden huts and raising dust clouds, Little Eight held its position, refusing to let go.

Tu Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned to Silem.

"That protrusion! Tell it to attack the protrusion on the python's forehead!"

Silem was also startled by Little Eight's sudden burst of power.

The massive beast's struggles caused the ground to shake, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

Hearing Tu Si's words, he nodded hurriedly. "Okay, I'll try."

Silem looked up and shouted at Little Eight, who was clinging tightly to the top of the python's head like a small boat in a raging sea.

"Little Eight! The protrusion in the middle of that guy's forehead is his weakness; attack that spot!"

In mid-air, the Crystal Ice Flame Hound paused slightly, having heard its owner's shout.

Little Eight's beautiful eyes scanned the area and immediately focused on a small, barely noticeable protrusion on the python's forehead.

Hidden under the scales, it was not easy to spot unless one looked closely.

Little Eight crouched slightly, then leaped with great force, aiming directly at the protrusion.

As it lunged forward, a modified flame ball, shaped like an arrowhead, was launched from its tail, striking the vulnerable spot with even greater speed than its fangs.

Struck at its weakest point, the Black Gold Armored Python went berserk, abandoning its encirclement.

Raising its tail, it lashed out forcefully, trying to knock off the annoying little mouse perched on its head.

The movement of the exotic beast's tail prompted Tu Si and the others to immediately adopt defensive stances.

Dust filled the sky, and wooden fences, tossed by the beast's tail, came hurtling towards them like a storm.

Tu Si and the others hastily raised their shields, gritting their teeth as they struggled to hold on.

"Damn it, this thing has gone berserk!" Tu Si quickly positioned his shield in front of Silem, shielding her from the falling debris.

He was a smart man, and upon seeing the actions of the Lustrous Ice Flame Hound, Tu Si immediately understood that this pet, which had been following them for the past two days,

was truly capable of contending with the exotic beast that left him completely helpless.

This was their only hope at the moment.

So Tu Si swiftly changed his attitude, standing in front of Silem at once and cleaving the wooden shards flying towards her with a single sword strike.

Meanwhile, Little Eight had already leaped to the most vulnerable spot on the alloy iron python's body.

The once docile and adorable Little Eight now looked exceptionally fierce, its eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light as it opened its mouth wide and bit down.

In the next second, the black gold iron python let out a mournful cry, lying on the ground and thrashing wildly.

Its most vulnerable point, the one spot it could not protect, was mercilessly pierced by Little Eight.

And the ice flame previously injected into its body continued to consume its vitality from within.

Little Eight's claws held firmly onto its scales, maintaining its position atop the thrashing body, ensuring its own safety.
