Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 235: The Attack of Python (II)

The python released another set of angry noises before lunging at them again.

"Run!"

Ruan Zeqiu and Yuan Ni ran back, but Ruan Chanchan didn’t run with them. Instead, she ran sideways. She ran straight toward the slope that led up the small mountains.

Yuan Ni looked at the woman going and shouted, "Where are you going?" He turned to look at Ruan Zeqiu and stupidly asked, "Where is she going?"

Ruan Zeqiu gritted his teeth and snapped, "She is stubborn as heck. My sister must be thinking that since she has already taken the risk, then she might as well get what she came here for." he knew his sister too well; she was the kind of woman who would even find something for her use in an abandoned land. She was just that petty!

The ground shook as the python tore through the talisman seal that was around his neck through sheer force. And maybe Yuan Ni was not trained enough to deal with it because the spell broke in a matter of a few seconds. The snake reared back, his eyes locking onto the weakest, fastest and most annoying target.

Ruan Chanchan: "..."

She felt the killing intent hit her spine like a bucket of ice water being dumped on her head.

"Okay, you bastard, just because I am weaker than the other two, you picked me. This is simply too freaking unfair on your part; you should at least pick someone worth your match, you jerk," she snapped while panting the whole time. She scrambled uphill; her skirt, made of beast skin, started to get snagged by the thorny roots. "Hear me out–I know this will sound crazy, but I can get the water flowing from the river to our tribe. We can solve the water problem. I can also solve the sanitation problem, and this might even uplift the morale of the tribe. The injuries and the life risk will also reduce—OWW!"

A rock slipped under her foot, and Ruan Chanchan felt herself falling forward. She moved her hands as if she were running a windmill and barely caught herself on the tree next to her. Behind her, the forest seemed to be on the verge of exploding. The python slithered through the trees, uprooting them as if he were taking care of weeds.

"SISTER!" Ruan Zeqiu shouted. "Get back here. There is no point in dragging this matter on anymore." He was not strong enough to deal with that python.

Ruan Chanchan turned to look at Ruan Zeqiu and shouted back, "I cannot turn back now. This is the perfect angle for it."

"What are you even trying to say at this point!?"

Yuan Ni sprinted toward Ruan Chanchan, abandoning his plan of retreat when he saw that the woman was not coming with them. It seemed like they had no choice but to support her.

"Zeqiu... you need to protect her."

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I HAVE BEEN DOING ALL MY LIFE, DUFUS?"

Ruan Zeqiu lunged forward. He threw the machete to one side and then shifted into his giant bear form. But even then, he was smaller than the python. He started slashing again and again, aiming for the joints, eyes and snout of the thing. The python, however, was sturdier than he had imagined. The python roared, coiled and struck. Its tail was smashing the ground like a rattle.

Ruan Chanchan reached a flat surface and skidded to a stop.

She paused and looked.

The river that she had been looking for was closer than she thought.

In fact, it was too close.

This was—

Ruan Chanchan’s eyes lit up, but then she felt the ground beneath her feet crack.

Her eyes widened. "Oh no..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The python burst through the trees, its massive head lunging through the trees and heading straight toward her.

Yuan Ni screamed in warning, and Ruan Zeqiu roared as he charged at the python.

Ruan Zeqiu slashed his claws through the eyes of the python. The snake shrieked, thrashing violently —and its body slammed into the mountain slope.

The ground gave way.

The ground collapsed beneath Ruan Chanchan’s feet.

As soon as the ground broke, Ruan Chanchan felt her heart lunge to her throat, and she let out a fearful scream. The gravity lost all control over her body, and she went cascading down. Feeling like she would be smashed to death, Ruan Chanchan made a grab at the roots of the trees to save herself from falling, but they couldn’t withstand her weight, and with a snap, the roots broke down.

"AHHH!!"

She screamed as she slid downward. Dirt, debris and stone came crashing down with her. While she was rolling down the cliff, Ruan Chanchan tried to grab anything that could help her stabilise, but maybe her speed was way too fast, or her luck was too rotten. No matter what she tried to hold, it would snap at once.

It’s no surprise. Anyway, my luck has never been good, thought Ruan Chanchan angrily as she made another failed grab at the boulder, but as if these things were determined to escape her grasp, nothing came into her hold. Cursing, she closed her eyes and let herself fall—

Anyway, getting smashed to death was better than getting eaten by a giant python. It was her fate to have a useless system.

Xiao Xi, who was scolded while lying down: "..." This is simply unfair!

He was not doing anything, but that was because he was a supermarket system; what did this woman want him to do?

Darling, you—

Before Xiao Xi could scold the woman, the sound of something heavy falling through the water echoed in the night, and Ruan Chanchan slammed into the water.

Cold water rushed and slammed all over her, and Ruan Chanchan felt like she was drowning. She closed her eyes and pushed her body upward, struggling to keep herself afloat. Maybe her strength was too weak but she couldn’t even manage to push her body up. Frustrated with herself, Ruan Chanchan somehow managed to grab hold of a fissure and used it to pull herself out of the water.

She resurfaced, coughing, sputtering. She spat out the water that went inside her throat.
