Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 49: Fierce Ice Python
With these clues, Ning Xuan believed that as long as she was willing to spend time, she would be able to find those things!
However, she did not tell the mercenaries the clues, but only took them to a place that matched the description in the clues, and promised to pay them additional rewards as long as they could find what she wanted!

The Black Water Ice Prison is indeed an S-level dangerous place. In just a few hours, Ning Xuan and others encountered several crises. Chen Nan stood by Ning Xuan's side and blocked three sneak attacks from the Black Water Monster Snake for her.

"It's dangerous at night, Miss Ning, let's come back tomorrow!" Rosen, the captain of the seven-member mercenary team, found Ning Xuan and said.

Just now, an A-level member of their team was attacked by a strange snake. After barely escaping the attack, he was thrown into the icy lake by a wave and was almost dragged away by the creatures in the lake!

If Ning Xuan hadn't equipped each of them with a retractable light rope with connection points on various large reefs, allowing them to rescue them in time, the team member would have died!
Chen Nan also felt the danger and was about to speak to persuade her, but Ning Xuan made a gesture to silence her!

"Buzz..." Ning Xuan heard a clear chirping sound, like birds singing, like the sound of metal colliding. A hint of joy appeared on her face, and she released her perception to search towards the place where the sound came from. The area she chose was the intertidal zone where the tide rises and falls.

"The water level is rising, Miss Ning, this place will soon be flooded, we have to leave here!" The team leader who just wanted to leave said anxiously!

Just at this moment, a wave of more than ten meters high suddenly piled up in the ice lake and slammed towards Ning Xuan. The wave was mixed with sharp ice chips, and it was urgent and swift, leaving people no time to react. Chen Nan summoned his supernatural body, the blue-eyed golden eagle, and spread its wings to protect Ning Xuan under its wings. Ning Xuan had found the source of the sound just now. She stared at the area flooded by the lake, opened her hand, and two black and red vines "whoosh" into the lake. Two or three minutes later, she fished out two fist-sized stones as translucent as ice crystals!
Ning Xuan put the stone into the space button and patted Xiao Jin. The supernatural being who was in tune with Chen Nan immediately let go of Ning Xuan. Seeing Ning Xuan jump onto the back of the golden eagle, Chen Nan also sat on it and flew back to a place where the lake could not reach!
The team leader who was ignored by the two looked at the rising lake water and hurriedly crawled to the shore!
In the next few days, as Ning Xuan and her team explored deeper into the area, they encountered more dangers. Several team members were injured one after another, and even an A-level team member was bitten by a black water snake and soon fell into a coma due to poisoning. Ning Xuan first fed the man an antidote, and then used the heart-protecting acupuncture method to protect his heart meridian. It took half a day to rescue the man. Because most of the injured were A-level team members, Ning Xuan simply let those A-level team members stay in a relatively safe area, and the two S-level team members with poor comprehensive combat power stayed to protect them, and the other five with higher comprehensive combat power followed Ning Xuan and Chen Nan to continue to go deeper!
Ten days later, Ning Xuan poured a bottle of potion emitting a strange fragrance into the area arranged in advance. The mercenaries who were hiding in the dark and responsible for pulling the net stared at the lake nervously. After about ten minutes, the calm lake water seemed to boil and rolled up. The wind was blowing hard, and the waves were surging. A black python more than ten meters high rose from the lake and swam to the water area emitting the strange fragrance in an instant.

"Pull the net!" Ning Xuan shouted, and a blanket of white light net suddenly rose from the lake, enveloping the huge ice python!
This wasn't just any ordinary light net; it was a specially crafted one, infused with poison and sharp blades. Ning Xuan had been planning this for a long time. The Ice Python favored giant tiger-striped toads. For the past few days, besides searching for mist flowers, blue light lotuses, and ice crystal jade, she had also been searching for giant tiger-striped toads. Two days ago, she finally found a few. She extracted the skin and venom sacs from the toads and extracted concentrated toad venom liquid! The Ice Python couldn't resist the taste of toad venom liquid, and besides, it wouldn't take these humans seriously!
The ice python trapped in the light net struggled violently and instantly threw the mercenaries who were pulling the rope into the air. Those mercenaries summoned their superpowers one after another. Three of them had superpowers that were large mutant creatures. One was a giant white bear, another was similar to a giant lizard, and the other one was huge in size, but it was hard to tell what kind of creature it was!
The mercenaries who were pulling the rope quickly found the anchor point as planned and fixed the tail end of the light rope on a solid large rock. The ice python's violent struggle caused the sharp blade hanging on the net to pierce into the ice python's body. The pain angered the ice python. The ice python opened its mouth and roared. A biting cold spread out, and the water in the ice lake instantly condensed into ice. Ning Xuan looked at the frost that was rapidly approaching in front of him, while mobilizing special energy and quickly retreating. Just when he felt his body was about to freeze, Chen Nan, who was responsible for controlling the main rope of the ice python, picked up Ning Xuan and took her away, and placed her together with the A-level mercenaries.

Ning Xuan was of low level and could not join in the remaining battles. She only knew that she had seven S-level warriors on her side, and had set traps in advance, leading the ice python to a shallow water area full of reefs, greatly weakening the ice python's ability to control the external environment.

Even so, after four hours of fighting, the battle area was completely unrecognizable, with broken reefs and potholes everywhere, and the area was completely covered with solid ice. Chen Nan and his companions were all injured, and two of them were seriously injured and unconscious. Although the price was huge, in the end, the seven of them worked together to kill the ice python.

Ning Xuan dug out the ice python's inner elixir. She had already prepared a special box that could preserve the ice python's inner elixir for a short period of time. However, if she wanted to maximize the effect of the inner elixir, it would be better to refine the potion as soon as possible, because she could not afford the expensive Soul-Locking Jade Box, and the energy of the inner elixir would gradually dissipate over time!
Ning Xuan first gave the two seriously injured people acupuncture to awaken their minds. After they woke up, she fed them healing medicine. The two were injured too seriously. Even if they were treated in time, they would not be able to fully recover in a short time!
Although the giant ice python's most precious inner core had been dug out, every S-rank exotic beast was a treasure, and the top-tier ice python within the Blackwater Ice Prison was priceless. As the employer and mastermind, Ning Xuan took the inner core. The remaining portion was divided equally among the seven S-rank warriors who participated in the battle. Chen Nan received some snake meat and the python's gallbladder. The skin, fangs, scales, and most of the snake meat were distributed among the other six participants! The two seriously injured also received additional compensation!
