Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 212 - 9: Sky Pit (9)

Li Shuning had considered bringing out the Hovercar, but to be honest, the Hovercar’s role was too significant. On many occasions in Task Worlds, the Hovercar had even saved her life. This place was truly bizarre, and if she took it out, who knows what it would ultimately become. Losing the Hovercar would be a huge loss.

Of course, if her life was at stake, the Hovercar would naturally have to be used.

Thus, Li Shuning quickly ran to another location. No matter what, she hadn’t reached a point of despair, and besides, she still had the opportunity to enter the small Task World, didn’t she?

The giant python returned to its cave and found the egg missing, immediately becoming furious. Upon exiting the cave, it knocked down all the trees around the cave entrance with its tail, reducing them to splinters—the python’s power was no joke.

It sensed carefully but couldn’t detect the whereabouts of the egg.

Damn it, where could it have gone?

However, it did detect a scent from a human in the cave.

At that time, Li Shuning had been attracted by the egg, and her spiritual power dissipated. Without the spiritual power to envelop her, she naturally left behind a scent.

The giant python sensed that scent but found it had also vanished.

Damn it, what’s going on?

The python went into a frenzy. It had always been the strongest presence in this forest, and the egg was very important to it. Who dared to be so reckless and steal the egg? Previously, it had been playful, but now the python was merciless, swallowing any animal it encountered whole.

Moreover, the python’s stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, swallowing creature after creature, yet it continued to devour.

Though Li Shuning maintained her distance from the python, its speed was incredibly fast.

It was already the seventh day. As long as she endured this day, Li Shuning would return safely.

At this point, Li Shuning was somewhat exhausted, with significant consumption of her spiritual and physical energy.

On this final day, Li Shuning dared not relax even a bit. However, just moments before, she could still sense the python, which suddenly disappeared; her spiritual senses couldn’t detect it anymore.

Li Shuning was greatly alarmed. She thought quickly and climbed a giant tree, standing at its peak to look through the forest, but she couldn’t spot the python’s shadow.

Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead; the python should be searching for her.

But where did it go?

Li Shuning gritted her teeth and coiled herself up, hiding at the top of the giant tree. She gathered some leaves to wrap herself up, but still felt unsafe. She dug a hole in the middle section of a branch, allowing herself to hide within, covering it with branches. Her spiritual power sense detected no visible issues from outside.

With a whole day remaining, the python’s disappearance made her safety the primary concern. The egg clearly wasn’t the python’s, but the python’s importance to it indicated the egg’s significance.

Whether it could be used for cultivation, Li Shuning didn’t know, and she didn’t dare experiment in this place.

Still, Li Shuning had a faint feeling that the egg was important to her.

Suddenly, Li Shuning noticed a small bug crawling into her hiding place.

She watched the bug with curiosity.

Previously, she had checked the whole tree and found no such bugs. So where did this bug come from?

Seeing that the bug was crawling into the hiding hole, Li Shuning broke out in cold sweat.

She felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, Li Shuning felt like her scalp might burst. Having experienced many Task Worlds, this sense of crisis made her uneasy.

Glancing at the bug, Li Shuning suddenly rushed out of the tree hole, jumping far away.

At the moment she exited the tree hole, she saw it.

A giant python was already on the ground, merely a dozen meters away from her.

However, if she hadn’t seen it up close, she likely wouldn’t have noticed it—there was no life aura, and its body blended with the forest, no wonder it was invisible before.

Upon seeing Li Shuning, the python suddenly swung its tail up, aiming it at the giant tree where Li Shuning had been.

That giant tree, which would require a dozen strong men to encircle, was snapped in half, the splinters flying.

If Li Shuning had stayed in the tree hole, she would’ve been critically injured with just one strike.

Now, Li Shuning had narrowly escaped disaster.

Though affected by flying wood splinters, Li Shuning managed to dodge, not daring to pause as she dashed away.

Originally undetectable with her spiritual power enveloping her, now that Li Shuning was visible, the python sensed her no differently.

Li Shuning thought of that bug. The python was the king of this forest, yet it could use other animals and even bugs to help.

This python was indeed strange—clearly lacking intelligence—but immune to her spiritual power attacks, yet still smart.

The python’s speed was frighteningly fast. If it weren’t for Li Shuning employing the Fish Movement Technique, she’d have been caught by the python long ago.

She moved swiftly through the forest, but this way she’d surely be caught eventually.

Li Shuning gritted her teeth and directly used spiritual power to control the Qiankun Ring, releasing the Hovercar.

The Hovercar’s invisibility function remained active, but Li Shuning noticed, upon releasing the Hovercar, the python’s head lifted, with eyes the size of fists fixated on the Hovercar.

At that moment, the python’s body paused.

Li Shuning knew this was a good opportunity, quickly controlling the Hovercar to open the door. The next moment, a force from within the Hovercar pulled her inside.

Without hesitating for a second, Li Shuning controlled the Hovercar to fly far away.

The python was extremely formidable on the ground, but naturally couldn’t fly into the air.

Leaving the ground behind, Li Shuning breathed a sigh of relief, flying continuously above the forest, waiting for the seventh day to pass so she could return to the ground.

Sitting inside the Hovercar, Li Shuning breathed out, relieved that several times the python nearly caught her, making her break out in goosebumps.

Suddenly, the Hovercar was violently collided with, losing control and flying off in another direction.

Li Shuning was almost flung out, quickly grasping the handrail on the control console. Looking at the monitor screen, she discovered the python had somehow climbed atop a giant tree, its entire body upright, directly crashing into the Hovercar, sending it flying with its massive force.

Meanwhile, the python took the opportunity to wrap itself around the Hovercar.

Li Shuning had always been confident in the Hovercar; after all, it was a product of future technology. The Hovercar’s shell was made of extremely rare metal, rendering ordinary weapons ineffective against it, and even crashing into buildings would cause no damage.
