Chapter 172: The Damage Is Minor, but the Insult Is Severe

In the dense forest, two figures, one large and one small, were leaping quickly between the treetops.

"It's agreed that after we get the fruit, the fruit will be put into the medicinal juice, and you and I will each have half. The fruit will not be all yours." Baka said loudly beside Chen Fei.

The vermilion fruit and the python are both extremely dangerous. If it is for the sake of his appetite, Baka will not take such a risk.

It has thick skin and flesh, and ordinary monsters can't break its defense at all. Even if there are, the damage is not deep. But this does not mean that Baka is invincible in the secret realm.

There are many dangerous creatures in this secret realm. Not to mention other places, there are many that can kill it on Banping Mountain alone.

Although there are fewer such monsters in other places, there are also a few.

The vermilion fruit tree is one that can hurt Baka, and the damage is relatively deep. If it is a life-and-death struggle, Baka is likely to die, and of course the vermilion fruit tree will not get any benefits.

Therefore, in this operation, Baka asked for half of the vermilion fruit on each side.

The Vermilion Fruit is a good thing for Chen Fei. For Baka, it is not only a rare delicacy, but also a great tonic for himself. That's why Baka agreed to this joint action.

"This was agreed in advance." Chen Fei nodded.

Although he couldn't monopolize the Vermilion Fruit, it was because of Baka that Chen Fei had the hope of getting the fruit, so Chen Fei naturally had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"We're almost there. I'll rush over after you lead the snake away."

Baka stopped. If the two went together, the Vermilion Fruit Tree would sense the danger and would not let the python out.

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just nodded, and continued to run forward without stopping.

After refining the Vermilion Fruit last time, he naturally carried the breath of the Vermilion Fruit, which prevented Chen Fei from getting close to the Vermilion Fruit. Now that more than ten days have passed, Chen Fei didn't know if the breath on his body had dissipated.

Three miles, two miles, and one mile, Chen Fei could even see the figure of the Vermilion Fruit Tree from a distance on the treetops, and the huge python looming below.

"Didn't you catch up? Did you know you couldn't catch up, or did your aura dissipate?"

The python had already been dispatched within this distance before, but it was very quiet today. Chen Fei didn't know which situation it was, but it didn't affect Chen Fei's continued progress.

In less than a cup of tea, Chen Fei came to a place only a hundred meters away from the vermilion fruit tree. Here, the vermilion fruit tree and the python were clearly visible.

As for Chen Fei's arrival, the vermilion fruit tree didn't react much, and its branches were swaying in the wind, but the python had already stood up, and its cold eyes were staring at Chen Fei, looking eager to try.

"There is only one left, who picked it, or was it eaten by the python?"

Chen Fei looked at the only fruit on the vermilion fruit tree, which had already turned red at this moment, but one less fruit made Chen Fei somewhat disappointed.

I finally fooled a powerful helper, but now I tell you that you came a step late and half of the treasure was taken away by someone. How can I bear this!

"Swish!"

Take the bow, put the arrow on, and shoot.

With a few movements done in one go, the arrow turned into a stream of light and hit the python's head, making a crisp sound.

The arrowhead deformed and shattered, falling to the ground. The price the python paid was a scale on its head that broke, revealing the bright red snake meat inside.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The python was a little confused, and then instantly became furious. The human who stole the fruit, the python remembered Chen Fei's breath last time, and now he came back and dared to attack it first.

"Boom!"

The sound of the python rushing around sounded, and another huge tree was knocked down. Chen Fei had a blank expression on his face, pulled the bow and shot arrows, and arrows flew towards the python's head.

Pieces of scales were broken, and the arrows pierced into the python's head.

This little arrow actually did not cause much damage to the python, because the arrow only entered the flesh a few inches before it was stuck in the python's muscles, and it could not even blow a hole.

But the damage was not great, but the insult was extremely strong. The eyes of the python were full of emotion. It wanted to swallow this human alive.

"Boom!"

The huge head of the python popped out like lightning and rushed to the place where Chen Fei was standing. Amid the roar, a large pit appeared on the ground. The python raised its head. There was no blood and flesh in the pit, nor in its mouth.

"Swish!"

An arrow flew from the upper right and pierced the position of the original arrow. This time, the snake meat was directly shattered and turned into a small hole.

The python raised its head, and an arrow suddenly shot towards its right eye.

"Ding!"

The arrowhead was shattered. Although this arrow was abrupt and extremely close, only ten meters away, it was still blocked by the eyelids of the python. And the eyelids of the python are undoubtedly more defensive than other scales.

The arrow hit the scales and broke them, but when it hit the eyelids of the python, there was only a tiny white spot, indicating that it had been attacked by the arrow.

"Boom!"

The python's head slammed hard on the treetop, smashing the tree that required three adults to close into pieces.

Amid the flying tree fragments, Chen Fei's figure was like a phantom, stepping on several large branches in mid-air and coming to the python's head.

The next moment, a flash of sword light passed by, and the long sword in Chen Fei's hand stabbed hard into the python's head, but in the end it was blocked by the python's skull, and the blade could not go deeper.

"Hiss!"

The python's body curled up in pain, and it smashed its head to the ground frantically. Amid the roar, Chen Fei flashed and appeared more than ten meters away.

"First-level peak!"

Chen Fei muttered to himself. In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei almost showed his combat power perfectly, until the last sword eight, which was almost the strongest swordsmanship that Chen Fei risked his life for.

But even so, it still couldn't penetrate the python's skull and kill it with one blow.

But now all this has achieved Chen Fei's original goal. If there is a chance, try to kill it. If it can't be killed, it will completely anger the python and let the python fight Chen Fei to death.

Almost killed by the human in front of it, the python will naturally fight to the death.

Chen Fei had to flash again just after landing for a moment. The original place had already been smashed by the angry python.

Chen Fei ran towards the distance with a smile on his face. Without fully unleashing the soul-chasing step, Chen Fei controlled it in a relatively stable position, making the python feel that it would catch up with it in a few more steps.

But, it was just a few steps away.

At the same time, Chen Fei's arrows were still shooting out, fiercely piercing the top of the python's head. No matter how strong the scales and muscles there were, they could not withstand Chen Fei's endless bombardment.

In just a moment, bones could be seen faintly in some places on the top of the python's head, especially the places where Kenpachi had pierced, which were even more horrible.

If Chen Fei had enough patience, he might really be able to kill the python, of course, the premise is that the python does not return to the vermilion fruit tree.

Otherwise, once the python returns, the effect of the arrows on the python will be almost zero, and the branches of the vermilion fruit tree can perfectly intercept Chen Fei's bow and arrow.

One man and one snake, chasing back and forth, have crossed several miles, and the trees along the way have been flattened by the python. The python's aura was completely locked on Chen Fei, and it didn't care about the others around it.

In just a moment, the exposed parts of the python's skull became more and more. Chen Fei tried to expose more of the python's skull to see if there was any place that was not protected by the bones and could be shot directly at the brain.

However, from the current situation, the python's skull seemed to have evolved, and the bones almost completely protected the python's brain, leaving Chen Fei with little chance.

"Boom!"

Chen Fei was thinking about where to lead the python, and a huge sound exploded at the location of the vermilion fruit tree a few miles away. The sound was so loud that it was clearly audible even at such a distance.

"Fighting."

Chen Fei couldn't help but smile. Killing the python or not was a secondary matter. Even though Chen Fei had the upper hand at the moment, the python didn't even touch a hair of Chen Fei.

But if you really want to kill a first-level peak monster, there will be a lot of variables. Although Chen Fei stored a lot of arrows in the space grid, he had spent a lot of arrows in the secret realm for such a long time.

It was impossible to use all the arrows here for this dispensable python monster, and it was not known whether it could be killed in the end.

The vitality of the snake has always been very strong. Chen Fei has even seen that the damaged flesh and blood at the head position are slowly repairing, and the speed of this repair is gradually increasing.

"Pah!"

A violent collision sound suddenly sounded, and the python that was persevering in chasing Chen Fei suddenly stopped and looked back at the position of the vermilion fruit tree.

"Is this to summon the python back?" Chen Fei's figure fell to the top of the tree, and he was a little surprised. It turned out that the two communicated in this way.

The python seemed very hesitant, and suddenly three arrows, one after another, shot on the python's eyelids. And these three arrows came silently without sound or wind.

If it weren't for the python's body, which had already formed a self-instinct for danger, and if it hadn't sensed something strange and closed its eyes automatically, then these three arrows would have broken its eyeballs and pierced directly into its brain.

This is true. No matter how strong the python's vitality is and how high its ability to recover is, it is bound to die.

Chen Fei grinned, and the faint light of the jade pendant on his neck dimmed. Taking advantage of the python's distraction, such an attack was still unsuccessful, which was somewhat beyond Chen Fei's expectations.

However, these three arrows also directly helped the python make a choice, ignoring the call of the vermilion fruit tree and continuing to chase Chen Fei. Just now, it was about to die. How could it be willing to let this human go so easily?

Chen Fei smiled, his figure flashed, and he ran away, and the python chased him madly, not leaving him.

At this moment, several miles away, Baka had already turned into a giant and rushed into the five meters of the vermilion fruit tree. Countless branches whipped Baka's body like crazy.
