Chapter 263: Rescue from the Python’s Mouth

If he had been a moment slower, he would have been pierced through by now!

Just as Harris was about to retreat and counterattack, a sword cry sounded from beside him. A sharp scarlet light shot out with a bang, cutting off the black shadow that was about to shrink again!

The broken object fell to the ground with a thud. The three of them stared at it. It turned out to be a “spider leg”!

It was about the thickness of two fingers and was made of an extremely strange material. It seemed to be metal clay, but it was not metal clay.

Dick reminded, “It’s a part of the puppet! Little…”

Before he could finish speaking, the ground ten meters away was suddenly pierced through, and more than ten sharp long tentacles poked out from the ground, stabbing at Ron above like a cage!

Before the ground had been pierced, Ron had already jumped up, and a layer of Holy Light Shield had been placed around him. The gold-tint magic robe had been passively activated.

Currently, Ron understood.

Although the tentacle puppet had hidden itself silently, it would emit a trace of imperceptible fluctuations when it attacked, making it easier for the one being attacked to sense it.

Therefore, Harris had sensed it in time and successfully dodged it. The Mage earlier had also sensed it, but he did not manage to dodge it successfully.

More than ten sharp limbs grabbed, and the energy shield on the surface of Ron’s body blocked the powerful force completely. Ron grabbed down casually, and with a buzz sound, the ground suddenly shattered, and a large piece of ground was grabbed by him through the air. There was also a ball of black shadows, which was very bizarre.

At first glance, that ball looked like a bunch of wriggling creatures, such as snakes and earthworms… They were soft but also hard. Each of them was a tentacle used for attack. When they were pulled out, they were still hugging the soil, like the roots of an old tree.

As a result, after he had grabbed them out, the ground beside him also crumbled and cracked, and this was also followed by climbing cracks on some walls.

This thing seemed to have also sensed the danger. The tentacles actually split into two balls. One half dug crazily into the ground, and the other stabbed crazily at Ron!

As he had the gold-tint magic robe on him, Ron was not afraid at all. He flicked his right hand casually, and a cluster of flames shot into the ball of tentacles. The flames did not burn it but scurried into the deepest part through the gaps in the puppet’s joints.

“Click.”

After the cracking sound, all the frantically surging tentacles froze and then went limp.

Then, it was not known if it was because of a command or because it had touched some mechanism, the ball of tentacles started to shrink rapidly… It shrunk into a small ball made of metal wires.

Ron grabbed it and looked at it briefly. He could not see anything, so he threw the metal ball of wires to Dick.

“This thing is interesting…” Dick sized it up carefully, and the interest in his eyes became stronger. He placed the little ball into his Storage Ring.

Although he could not figure out anything yet, he had already understood that among the many puppet creations, there were some small surprises which the Magic Puppet Master had left behind!

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He stared excitedly at the few puppet creations which were in the midst of battle.

“Let’s go and catch those few first… Hmm?”

Dick could not finish his sentence. He suddenly stopped and looked down at the fractured space.

Ron and Harris had also sensed something and looked ahead at the fractured space.

“Buzz! Boom!!”

Almost at the same moment, the entire cave suddenly shook, and sounds of explosions came from deeper down the fractured space.

Powerful auras swept toward everyone. Among them was actually the aura of a level-7 magical beast?!

Subconsciously, the hearts of Ron and the other two shrank. A level-7 magical beast?!

Sensing the extremely terrifying and powerful aura, everyone in the cave was extremely shocked. The Magi who had been fighting earlier immediately fled.

Dick’s eyes lit up with a magical glow as he shouted, “No! It’s not a magical beast. It’s… it’s a puppet creation!!”

Boom! At the same time, an earth-shaking roar suddenly sounded.

The originally intact floors were also blasted open. A beam of golden sacred light broke through all obstacles like a tornado and shot into the sky!

Half of the space where Ron and the others were located had already collapsed, and when it was swept up by the soaring golden light, huge cracks immediately appeared. Everyone retreated until they had nowhere to retreat to. They had to press against the side of the nearest wall of the mountain to barely dodge this wave of impact.

On the floor they were on, a few Magi were a little slower. They were immediately shredded into pieces by the golden light!

Seeing this scene, Harris already had the intention to retreat. He subconsciously looked at Ron and Dick and found that the two of them were actually looking down with a frenzied expression!

The energy in Ron and Dick was restless. They had not been frightened by the terrifying might of the golden light at all. Instead, they had even been provoked to fight.

Sigh, he really had to accept his age…

Seeing the eager state of the two young people, Harris could not help but sigh in his heart.

The beam of golden light swept all the way to the top of the cave. It was not until it was stopped by the strongest magic protective formation that it finally stopped.

A deep well had already been dug out by the golden light tornado in the cave. The middle was empty, like those skywells.

Ron’s gaze was fixed at what was below. He was surprised.

Why is this person here?

In the space of the deep well below, more than ten figures were flying up rapidly to escape; they were in very bad shape.

This was a group of Great Archmagi, and most of them had relatively high magical power levels. They were probably the strongest or the first to come deep into the cave to search for treasures.

However, they were now all fleeing in panic. It looked like they had encountered some accident.

Following closely behind them was a huge shadow. It was golden in color and emitted a terrifying aura. The extremely powerful aura of a level-7 magical beast earlier had been emitted by this huge shadow!

It was actually a nine-headed golden python!!

Strictly speaking, it was not a magical beast but a puppet creation!

Its body was extremely large, and it was glowing with a metallic luster. However, it did not slow down at all when it moved. It was completely different from the puppets Ron had seen earlier. It was almost identical to a real magical beast!

The nine terrifying python heads were each more than ten meters tall! The eyes in them were as big as lanterns, and in the deepest depths, there was a scarlet glow. They were extremely alive!

However, for some reason, only two of the nine python heads revealed a violent and ferocious appearance. The remaining seven did not seem to have much strength.

Even so, the two python heads were extremely breathtaking.

The golden tornado which had generated the “well” earlier had come out from the ferocious mouth of one of the two heads!

There were a total of 12 people who were being relentlessly pursued by the nine-headed python with two active heads. They had split into three groups to flee. The fastest group amongst them was a five-man team, and the weakest was a three-man team.
