Chapter 42: Pick up the bargain

Seeing the Python getting closer and closer to the water vat, the Wolf King and the Old Monkey simultaneously gave up fighting and rushed towards the water vat.

For them, the fruit in the water vat was the most important thing.

No matter what, they couldn't let other monsters snatch it away.

Seeing the Old Monkey and the Wolf King charging at him simultaneously, the Python was startled and quickly coiled up, letting out hissing threats.

Then… he successfully drew the attention of the Old Monkey and the Wolf King.

The Old Monkey and the Wolf King first examined the Python's wounds, then exchanged glances, seemingly reaching a tacit understanding.

The next moment, both monsters roared and charged towards the Python.

They attacked him simultaneously!

At this, the large Python was completely dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected that the Wolf King and the Old Monkey would tacitly unite to eliminate him first.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

The Python roared loudly, his tone filled with anger.

He seemed to be cursing, “Wolf King, you dog, I invited you to help me… and you betrayed me!”

However, the Wolf King ignored his curses and instead bit the Python’s tail, severing a section of it on the spot.

On the other side, the Old Monkey’s stick accurately struck the Python’s vital spot.

The Python slumped down as if all strength had left his body.

The health bar above his head was instantly emptied… leaving only a sliver of health!

The Old Monkey, having landed a hit, was about to strike again to finish off the Python, but suddenly noticed the Wolf King had already rushed towards the nearby water vat.

For the Wolf King, he didn’t care about the Python’s life or death, as long as he didn’t interfere.

Now that the Python was dealt with, his target was naturally the fruit.

Seeing this, the Old Monkey immediately shrieked and also rushed towards the water vat.

Compared to the Python’s life, that fruit was more important!

Although the Old Monkey was old, his speed was extremely fast.

He quickly caught up to the Wolf King, and then the two began fighting again.

This time, without the threat and interference of the Python, the two fought with even more intensity and ferocity.

At this moment, Wei Kai, who was observing from a distance, felt his heart suddenly pound violently.

The Python not far away, though a level eighteen boss, only had a sliver of health left!

As long as he crept over, a single light sword strike would be enough to kill him.

This was a level eighteen boss.

If he could kill him, with the powerful “All Item Drop” talent, he would definitely drop Mythic equipment… perhaps even more than one piece!

One piece of Mythic equipment could sell for fifty million, an amount of money that many ordinary people couldn't earn in dozens of lifetimes.

With such temptation before him, how could Wei Kai not be moved?

Thinking this, Wei Kai finally gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and quietly approached the Python boss.

However, he had only taken two steps when the Python boss nearby sensed the movement and desperately tried to lift his head.

It was a pity that the vertebral joints on his body were already shattered, and he couldn't lift his head at all.

In his urgency, the Python boss could only emit “hissing” threats.

Unfortunately… the Old Monkey and the Wolf King, who were engaged in an intense duel in the distance, ignored him.

Wei Kai, moreover, didn't understand snake language and had no idea what he was saying.

A moment later, Wei Kai had approached within ten steps of the Python, then stopped.

For him, this distance was enough.

The Python boss, with only a sliver of health left, didn't need to be approached to be killed… what if he still had a last bit of strength and tried to trade blows?

Wei Kai wasn't without long-range attack methods.

The next moment, Wei Kai pulled out a throwing dart from his backpack.

He had bought this thing at the Assassin's Guild last night.

Don't let its small size fool you; it was quite formidable… because its damage ignored all defensive measures.

As long as it hit, it would deal 100 damage.

Normally, this 100 damage would be like a hair on nine thousand oxen to the Python boss.

He wouldn't care about it at all.

But at this moment… this 100 damage could take his life!

The dart shot out and directly struck the Python boss's wound.

The Python’s taut body suddenly relaxed, and the last-ditch counterattack he had prepared vanished into thin air.

A moment later, the Python’s body transformed into a white light, and countless glows burst forth from where his corpse had disappeared.

The most conspicuous among them was, of course, a golden light!

“Beautiful, another Mythic equipment!”

Even though he had anticipated it, the moment Wei Kai saw the Mythic equipment drop, his heart was still incredibly excited, and his hands clenched into fists.

After the equipment dropped, Wei Kai immediately rushed over, sweeping up all the dropped items with lightning speed.

At this time, the Old Monkey and the Wolf King were still fighting fiercely in the distance.

Wei Kai glanced at them and couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, he had to thank these two monsters.

If they hadn't teamed up to reduce the Python boss to a sliver of health, Wei Kai wouldn't have had the chance to pick up the loot.

“How about you two just injure each other too?”

Wei Kai muttered to himself.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the battlefield changed.

After such a long and intense struggle, the Old Monkey’s stamina gradually gave out… coupled with his old age and declining health, his reactions and speed also gradually slowed down.

Soon, the Wolf King found an opportunity and bit the Old Monkey’s hand fiercely.

“Zizhi, Zizhi, Zizhi!”

The Old Monkey roared loudly.

But the Wolf King was relentless, pressing his advantage, wanting to kill him directly.

Seeing this, the Old Monkey immediately realized something was wrong, so he threw the stick in his hand fiercely.

Then he turned and ran!

“Damn it!”

Seeing this, Wei Kai was stunned on the spot.

Because… this guy was actually coming towards him!

At this moment, Wei Kai had just finished picking up the Python boss’s drops and was in a situation with nowhere to hide.

When the Old Monkey charged towards him, he was already exposed to both monsters.

“It’s over!”

Wei Kai was about to turn and run, but his gaze suddenly caught the Old Monkey’s expression, and he immediately understood.

“Their target isn’t me!”

It was the water vat in front of him… and the fruit inside!

Boom!

The next moment, the Old Monkey smashed the water vat with a punch, fished out a bright red fruit, and then ran off.

Seeing this, the Wolf King immediately chased after him, completely ignoring Wei Kai’s existence.

“Phew!”

After the Old Monkey and the Wolf King had run far away, Wei Kai finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling completely exhausted.

Fortunately… their target was that fruit!

If it hadn’t been for that fruit, his life would have been forfeit.

They say fortune favors the bold… but always risking his life like this wouldn’t do.

His heart couldn't take it!
