There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Before long, the giant red-scaled python had its food supply for the next few days.

Even though this possibility was avoided, the dark-skinned, burly man still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the giant red-scaled python using the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom as bait to ambush him in a cunning trap.

He secretly felt incredibly lucky.

Even though he saw the terrifying appearance of the giant red-scaled python, the dark-skinned, burly man showed no intention of retreating. Instead, after clearly seeing what it looked like, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a giant python, not yet a snake, nor has it grown horns.

At most, they're just a bit stronger; there's nothing extraordinary about them.

This dark-skinned, burly man clearly knew a great deal about pythons and dragons. After a brief observation, he determined that the other party was within his capabilities. He then reached to his waist and tossed out a medicine packet wrapped in lotus leaves.

Faced with the flying medicine packet, the giant red-scaled python, though unaware of its origin, nimbly circled around a branch and dodged it.

puff~

With a soft thud, the medicine packet broke apart on the tree branch.

The pungent yellow powder spread outwards, instantly enraging the giant red-scaled python.

sizzle~

With its thick, bright red tongue flailing wildly, the giant red-scaled python twisted its body and snapped off the thick tree branch that it had been coiling around, crashing to the ground with a thud.

He looked as if someone had splashed him with excrement.

In a fit of rage, he charged straight at the burly, dark-skinned man who had thrown the medicine packet, roaring as he tried to finish him off. The last vestiges of his intelligence and reason had been completely consumed by the killer's savagery.

Hysterical and chaotic.

Although he looked menacing and terrifying, the dark-skinned, burly man showed no fear on his face; instead, he revealed a hint of smugness.

Stable.

Then, a fierce glint appeared in the dark-skinned, burly man's eyes, and his aura became quite wild and restless. His already imposing physique grew even taller, and his dark skin became as tough as leather.

The already strange and conspicuous fangs in his mouth suddenly grew even larger.

Wielding a machete, the dark-skinned, burly man fought against the giant red-scaled python. Facing the latter's ferocious attacks, he remained calm and focused on defense.

Thanks to its amazing resilience, it was unable to defeat the giant red-scaled python.

Under the ferocious onslaught, the giant red-scaled python's internal energy was rapidly depleted, and its attacks became increasingly weak as time went on.

Seemingly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, the dark-skinned, muscular man's face lit up with excitement.

The Crimson Blood Mushroom was so hard to come by that, apart from him, probably no one else even had a clue about its whereabouts, let alone how to obtain it.

This test question is definitely one that only he can answer!

There's no need to choose; he's definitely the lucky one who will work under Hu Meier.

Hmph, what young lady of Fire Rain Manor? She's just a spoiled little girl. In the end, she'll be played with like a puppet.

However, that girl was indeed alluring and seductive...

One day, I'll show you what I'm capable of.

For some reason, the dark-skinned, muscular man's face revealed a rather lewd expression, and his attention was noticeably distracted.

When victory is in sight, it's easy to become complacent; this is only human nature.

With its strength nearly exhausted, the giant red-scaled python posed no threat whatsoever, and this momentary distraction seemed insignificant.

But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

At that instant, a black shadow suddenly plummeted down from above, accelerating with the force of gravity, and hurtling straight down as if it wanted to crash headfirst into the ground.

It arrived so fast that no one could react in time.

The dark-skinned, muscular man was utterly stunned.

He'd seen people chase speed before, but never anyone chased it like this. Who invited you? Why are you so eager to go?

Even as the figure headed straight for the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom, the burly man didn't realize that the other party intended to seize the medicine.

This scene is truly unbelievable.

Imagine you ordered takeout and left it outside your dorm building. You're playing on your phone and about to go get it when you suddenly catch a glimpse of a figure plummeting from the fifth floor.

Even if the other person is heading straight for your takeout, you won't think they're stealing it.

The dark-skinned, muscular man had a similar thought at that moment.

He was only worried that the guy falling so fast would crash and get his brains smashed to the ground, which might affect the appearance and quality of the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom. He never expected that the other party had come to steal the medicine.

After all, in his view, such speed would be impossible to control even on flat ground.

Moreover, it was plummeting from the sky.

However, there are some people in this world who can do things that are difficult for ordinary people.

Just as it was about to return to Mother Earth's embrace, the plummeting figure suddenly took several steps, each step landing on the trunk of the towering ancient tree beside it.

Its leg strikes are incredibly fast, so fast that bystanders can't even see them.

I felt a blur of afterimages, and amidst the dizzying chaos, I heard a series of almost indistinguishable thuds of footsteps.

Even so, the speed of the fall was still too fast.

Those steps, seemingly taken at the same instant, left footprints with noticeable gaps when they actually landed on the tree trunk, as if measured by a ruler.

Measure the distance between oneself and death.

However, if someone observes closely, they will find that the series of footprints, which resemble the scale of a ruler, are not evenly spaced, but clearly show a trend from sparse to dense.

If that dark-skinned, muscular man had studied physics.

If you have carefully observed the behavior of an object accelerating, you can certainly discern something from the distribution of these footprints.

Unfortunately, he was a barbarian.

Not to mention seeing any mystery, the burly man didn't even look at it. He just subconsciously thought that the guy who was falling down suddenly was doomed, and he just turned his head slightly to avoid being splashed with blood and flesh.

Unexpectedly, the figure that was about to plunge headfirst into the ground suddenly glided away instead of diving.

The black cloak fluttered behind him.

Like the wings of an eagle spread out.

It appeared suddenly and disappeared in an instant, its swift figure vanishing into the vast forest without pausing for a moment.

They come and go like the wind, leaving not a trace behind.

Chapter 29 The sooner you use it, the sooner you enjoy it.

It came unexpectedly and left inexplicably.

The dark-skinned, burly man barely had time to react before he heard the flapping of wings, as if countless birds were darting about in the forest.

The disturbance caused the branches and leaves to sway and blurred the view.

Before anyone could figure out what had happened, the commotion quickly faded away, and the swift, graceful figure disappeared from sight.

This left the latter completely confused.

I'm completely baffled.

Just as I was feeling really frustrated, the giant red-scaled python in front of me, which had been showing signs of fatigue, suddenly went berserk and even twisted its body to crash into the blade, ignoring the threat.

Caught off guard, the dark-skinned, burly man was nearly knocked to the ground.

Is this guy making a death throes?

Something's not right. Shouldn't they be looking for a chance to escape at a time like this? Even wild animals should have a survival instinct...

The unexpected counterattack left the dark-skinned, burly man in a rather disheveled state, and he couldn't help but feel astonished, wondering what had gotten into the giant python.

As he staggered backward, his swaying gaze swept over the ancient tree.

The dark-skinned, burly man belatedly realized what was happening, quickly turned his head, and stared intently at the base of the tree roots, wishing he could turn his eyes into copper bells.

Where is my Crimson Blood Fungus?

Where did my huge patch of Crimson Blood Fungus go?!

"Thief!"

Finally realizing what that swiftly departing figure had taken away, the dark-skinned, burly man couldn't help but roar like a pig being slaughtered. It was truly a scene of utter desolation.

With a snap of his head, he charged headlong after the spot where the swift figure had vanished, even though he knew the chances of catching up were slim.

He was unwilling to accept that someone else had snatched it away!

But just as the dark-skinned, burly man tried to leave, the giant red-scaled python wouldn't let him.

It was clearly furious that its home had been stolen, but it was not yet intelligent enough to figure out the cause and effect, and only regarded the two people who appeared one after the other as a group.

It thought that the dark-skinned, burly man had deliberately attracted its attention so that his accomplice could steal the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom when he was not paying attention. That's why it didn't react at all when faced with the sudden situation.

They're in cahoots.

They're definitely in cahoots!

The giant red-scaled python was furious at losing the precious medicine, but the person who abducted the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom had already disappeared due to his superior status, and even if it wanted to chase after him, it would be difficult to find any trace of him in a short time.

Naturally, he could only cling to the dark-skinned, muscular man in front of him.

It was hoped that the two-legged beasts would come to its aid, giving it a chance to reclaim the precious medicine.

Seeing that the dark-skinned, burly man was about to charge forward and run away, it seemed that he wanted to escape after his plan had succeeded. Suddenly, blood-red light surged around him like a tide, and his originally weak and powerless body suddenly burst out with violent force.

Even at the risk of injury, they were determined to keep that dark-skinned, muscular man alive.

This left the burly man, who wanted to escape and give chase, quite frustrated. After several failed attempts to escape and nearly being injured by the giant python, even though he knew the python didn't understand human speech, he couldn't help but roar in anger:

"You shameless idiot, I didn't steal the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom, why are you bothering me?"

"If you're going to pester someone, pester that despicable thief!"

The giant red-scaled python remained silent, relentlessly attacking the dark-skinned, muscular man.

The roar of impotent rage echoed through the mountains and forests, causing Jiang Mo, who was speeding away, to turn back and glance in the direction from which the sound came.

People, of course, are long gone.
