Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 89

“It’s here!” Ye Hongyi’s pupils abruptly contracted.

“Triggered already? So suddenly!” Lu Ran was startled.

“Form a party!” Liu Xinxin said calmly.

No monsters were visible yet.

But with the Titan Python appearing, Lu Ran was about to start killing!
If they weren’t in a party, his skills would be area-of-effect and hit everyone!
At the same time.

Liu Xinxin firmly planted her staff on the ground, gripping it tightly with both hands.

Then, with a solemn expression, she softly chanted notes that Lu Ran couldn’t understand. Her voice was gentle, pleasant to the ear, like an echo in an empty valley or a clear stream in a mountain ravine.

Instantly.

A pillar of light shot into the sky!

It pierced through the inner hall’s dome, reaching straight into the heavens!
Immediately after, a huge phantom of the Elf Queen appeared above Liu Xinxin. Its wings fluttered slightly, shedding a vast amount of radiance that enveloped the group.

Within a ten-meter radius at their feet, a complex magical array pattern formed and began to slowly rotate beneath them.

This was the first time Lu Ran had seen Liu Xinxin use such a flashy skill, and it gave him quite a shock.

But the presence of this skill was truly immense!

Outside the inner hall.

Wei Yingying and the others were getting a bit bored waiting.

“They must have entered the inner hall just before we got here. It’s already been twenty minutes.”

“Only twenty minutes, why the rush? The inner hall isn’t that easy to clear.”

“Waiting is so boring, I really want to go in and take a look.”

“Then go ahead, no one’s stopping you.”

“Never mind, my life is more important.”

…

The group chatted idly out of boredom.

Wei Yingying, however, stood to the side, staring intently towards the inner hall.

Suddenly!

The light pillar exploded through the dome, shooting straight into the clouds!
Wei Yingying was startled, quickly looking up.

Then she murmured thoughtfully, “The Elf High Priest’s Hymn of Sanctity! Are they about to start fighting the Titan Python?”

In reality.

If the Titan Python’s emergence hadn’t been so sudden, Liu Xinxin wouldn’t have needed to go this far.

Lu Ran had summons to absorb damage.

But Liu Xinxin, Ye Hongyi, and Lei Tai – the three of them had no such means!
Faced with such a sudden boss trigger, these high-level combat experts were actually less survivable than Lu Ran.

“Lu Ran, summon Ancient Golems and scatter them around,” Liu Xinxin said to Lu Ran while maintaining the Hymn of Sanctity.

Lu Ran complied.

This way, not only can the Ancient Golem help Lu Ran absorb damage, but it can also be used to attract the Titan Python’s aggro and attention, diverting the danger from their team.

Just as Lu Ran had scattered thirty or forty Ancient Golems around them.

The tremors in the inner hall suddenly ceased.

From behind the statue of the Goddess Nüwa, two lantern-like objects, as large as buckets, abruptly rose, glowing with a red light.

But those weren’t lanterns; they were eyes!

The eyes of the Titan Python!
Next, the Titan Python’s entire body twisted as it emerged from behind the statue.

Its tongue flickered constantly, and its cold, glowing red eyes fixed on Lu Ran and the others.

“Seems not that sudden after all?” Lei Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he slammed his shields together.

He stepped forward and smashed them downwards.

Boom!
Amidst the loud noise, the shields embedded into the ground like large planks, forming a massive energy shield in front of him to protect the three behind.

Liu Xinxin also relaxed slightly.

She said, “Good that it’s not too sudden. I was getting quite tense. Lu Ran, make your move.”

Lu Ran looked up.

Above the Titan Python’s head, the ‘Can Be Controlled’ option was still displayed.
This one can be controlled too?

As he thought this, the Titan Python began its attack. Its massive maw opened, and the thick purple liquid inside seemed to boil as it gathered.

Lu Ran was startled.

Almost without hesitation, he sent a mental command, directly taking control of the Titan Python!
The Titan Python’s attack immediately stopped.

Its original ferocity diminished greatly. Its body became soft, quiet, and docile as it looked at Lu Ran, awaiting orders.

Lu Ran let out a sigh of relief.

He glanced at his three companions, shrugged, and said, “No other way. This Titan Python is just too big, and the inner hall’s space is limited. Even if I used Infinite Control with Death’s Touch, it wouldn’t matter. The Titan Python could still attack us.”

Lu Ran wasn’t afraid himself, as he could infinitely summon Ancient Golems to tank the damage.

But Ye Hongyi and the others were in more danger.

Although they didn’t know the exact strength of the Titan Python’s attacks, there was no need to take the risk.

“What about the venom sac then?” Ye Hongyi asked, taken aback.

Although Lu Ran’s concern was valid.

What about the Titan Python’s venom sac they promised Wei Yingying?
“Can’t we just extract it? It won’t resist anyway. We only need the venom sac. Or, you can just kill it,” Lu Ran said.

He had no attachment to this Titan Python.

It was a hasty control.

“Since it’s controlled, it might be somewhat useful. Killing it would grant us a wave of experience, but let’s get the venom sac first. Typically, a snake’s venom sac is located below the eye socket,” Liu Xinxin said.

She then instinctively looked towards Lei Tai.

The latter’s hair stood on end. He glanced at the Titan Python and said, “Hey, don’t look at me! I can’t do that job!”

Despite his burly build, Lei Tai had an innate fear of snakes.

At that moment.

Ye Hongyi, who was standing to the side, spoke up, “I’ll do it.”

She finished, looked at Lu Ran, who understood mentally. He looked at the Titan Python and issued a command.

Immediately, the Titan Python completely prostrated itself, laying its head on the ground, opening its mouth wide, and remaining perfectly still.

It truly followed Lu Ran’s instruction absolutely!
Ye Hongyi pulled a dagger from her pack.

This was an assassin-type weapon. While Ye Hongyi could wield it, she couldn’t activate its equipment properties, but it could be used as a cutting tool.

Then, she approached the Titan Python’s mouth.

Even though she knew full well the creature was under Lu Ran’s absolute control, the feeling of leaning half her body into the terrifying, wide-open maw of such a monstrous snake head to cut out the venom sac was truly bizarre!

The process itself wasn’t difficult.

Although as a magic class she couldn’t inherit the dagger’s attributes, her cutting speed was still quite fast.

A few minutes later.

Ye Hongyi emerged from the snake’s head, holding a fist-sized, teardrop-shaped sac in her hand.

She took a few deep breaths to calm the weird feeling from having just been inside the snake’s mouth, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.

She then shared the properties of the sac in her hand.

It really was!
[Titan Python Venom Sac]

Categorized as a material.

“Done. What should we do with this Titan Python?” Ye Hongyi asked, glancing at the Titan Python, which had now closed its maw and showed little reaction despite having its venom sac removed.

“It’s too big, not easy to take out. Otherwise, it would be a quite useful offensive pet. Plus, it’s a shame it lost its venom sac,” Lu Ran said with a shrug.

“A snake’s venom sac can regenerate, that’s not an issue. The real problem is it’s too conspicuous, really hard to take out,” Liu Xinxin also said regretfully.

Unexpectedly.

As if sensing Lu Ran’s thoughts.

The Titan Python’s massive body began to shrink and slithered towards Lu Ran.

Soon, it climbed onto Lu Ran’s wrist, shrinking into a ring shape, biting its own tail, and solidified into something resembling a black bracelet.

Lu Ran stared, utterly astonished.

It could do this too?

So in future fights, could he just casually toss out a Titan Python like this?
