Chapter 182 The Challenge of the Ice Python

As Qin Feng and his companions went deeper into the secret passage of the Spirit Snake Cave, they felt the cold air ahead getting stronger, as if the air around them was freezing. Faintly, they heard a low roar, foreshadowing an inevitable battle. However, in the face of unknown dangers, they still maintained a relaxed attitude and teased each other humorously.

As the roar approached, the temperature in the secret passage dropped rapidly, and a thin layer of frost even began to form on the walls. The cold air released by Ye Li seemed insignificant here, as if it was suppressed by a more powerful force.

"It's getting colder and colder here." Chu Tian shivered and tightened his cloak. "I feel like my nose is about to freeze off."

Qin Feng listened attentively to the sound coming from the front, tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, and whispered: "There must be something powerful ahead, we have to be careful."

Ye Li nodded gently: "This cold air is not simple, it may be some kind of ice-attributed soul beast. We must be prepared and not take it lightly."

“Soul beast?” Chu Tian’s eyes lit up, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. “If it’s a dragon that can spit ice, we’ll be rich! But I hope its breath isn’t too stinky.”

Zhang Meng said calmly: "No matter what it is, let's deal with it together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secret passage ahead suddenly opened up, and they came to a huge ice cave. The ice cave was covered with thick ice, and the ice crystals sparkled in the weak light, as if they had entered the center of an ice and snow world. In the center of the ice cave, there was a huge ice python, its scales were as transparent as ice crystals, and its cold eyes stared at them.

"It seems that you are right." Qin Feng smiled, "It is indeed a big guy who spits ice."

Chu Tian was stunned: "This is not an ordinary big guy, this snake is several times bigger than the ones we encountered before! And...it can move."

The giant python slowly raised its head and let out a low roar. The cold air gathered around it and formed a strong storm. It was obviously full of hostility towards these "uninvited guests" who broke into its territory. Its mouth opened slightly, revealing its sharp white teeth.

"It looks like it doesn't welcome us." Ye Li said calmly, "We must deal with it quickly."

Qin Feng nodded: "Everyone act according to the plan. I will distract its attention. Ye Li, you will be responsible for restricting its actions. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng will be responsible for the attack."

Chu Tian swallowed and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand: "I understand, but... are you sure this snake won't swallow us in one gulp?"

Zhang Meng patted him on the shoulder: "We are a team, we act together, and we won't let you face it alone."

Qin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "Prepare for battle!"

The giant python let out a deafening roar, and suddenly exerted its strength, and its huge body rushed towards Qin Feng. Qin Feng reacted quickly, unsheathed the Dragon Shadow Sword, and met the giant python's attack. His sword edge drew a cold light in the air, and collided with the giant python's cold scales, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, Ye Li quickly released cold air, trying to use ice to restrain the giant python's movements. However, the giant python's ice attribute seemed to be very strong, and Ye Li's cold air had limited effect on it.

"This guy's ice resistance is too strong!" Ye Li frowned and said, "We must use other methods to limit it."

Chu Tian took advantage of the opportunity when the giant python was restrained by Qin Feng, and quickly went around to its side, aiming at the giant python's abdomen. He took a deep breath, accumulated strength, and suddenly launched a powerful attack. The storm wolf attacked with him, aiming directly at the giant python's vital point.

However, the giant python seemed to have sensed Chu Tian's intention, and it swept its tail violently, directly knocking Chu Tian and the storm wolf back several meters, and slamming them hard against the wall of the ice cave.

"Damn it, this guy is too strong!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and climbed up, saying unwillingly, "It seems that a head-on fight won't work."

Zhang Meng also launched an attack at this time. He summoned the giant rock bear to fight the giant python head-on. Although the giant rock bear was powerful, it still seemed a little struggling in front of the giant python. The two fought fiercely, frost and gravel flew everywhere, and the whole ice cave seemed to be shaking.

"We can't keep wasting time like this!" Qin Feng shouted, "We must find its weakness!"

Ye Li pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Its eyes! Its eyes are the only part of its body that is not covered by ice. It may be its weakness!"

"Then aim at its eyes!" Qin Feng ordered decisively.

Chu Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood firm again: "Let me do it this time!"

He quickly rushed towards the giant python, attracting its attention again. The giant python waved its tail angrily, trying to repel Chu Tian again. However, Chu Tian was well prepared. He nimbly dodged the giant python's attack and looked for the best time to attack.

At the moment when the giant python raised its head, Chu Tian suddenly jumped up, and the weapon in his hand emitted a dazzling light, pointing directly at the giant python's eyes. At the same time, Qin Feng also seized the opportunity and launched a fatal blow from the side. The blade of the Dragon Shadow Sword pierced the other eye of the giant python like lightning.

The giant python let out a fierce roar, and its huge body twisted violently, and the cold air quickly dissipated around it. It tried to break free, but Ye Li's cold air had firmly controlled its movements at this moment, and Zhang Meng and the giant rock bear were also suppressing it.

"Now, concentrate all your strength on attacking its eyes!" Qin Feng shouted.

Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng launched their strongest attacks at the same time. The giant python's eyes finally couldn't bear the strong impact and it let out a shrill roar. Finally, its huge body fell powerlessly in the center of the ice cave.

The giant python's body gradually became transparent, and eventually turned into countless ice crystals, which dissipated into the air. The entire ice cave returned to calm, and the cold gradually subsided, leaving only four people gasping for breath, looking at each other with relieved smiles.

"We succeeded!" Chu Tian jumped up happily, "This big snake was really tough, but in the end we won!"

Ye Li smiled slightly: "Yes, we worked together and finally defeated it."

Qin Feng put away the Dragon Shadow Sword and patted Chu Tian on the shoulder: "Well done, Chu Tian. You really made a great contribution this time."

Chu Tian grinned and said, "Of course, I want to prove my strength!"

Zhang Meng also showed a rare smile: "You two cooperate very well, and we can continue exploring next."

After a short rest in the ice cave, the four continued on. At the end of the ice cave was a huge ice door, which slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to a deeper place.

"It seems we have to continue our exploration." Qin Feng looked at the deep passage, his eyes full of determination.

"No matter how many challenges lie ahead, we are ready." Ye Li said softly.

Chu Tian waved the weapon in his hand, his face full of expectation: "I will definitely prove myself again this time!"

Zhang Meng nodded calmly: "Let us face the next test together."

The four of them walked into the passage, and the ice door slowly closed behind them. The road ahead was still full of unknowns, but they were ready to meet all challenges and explore the ultimate secret of the Spirit Snake Cave.
