Chapter 125: Older Sister Shi Zhiyi

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Older Sister Shi Zhiyi

Another half hour passed. Shi Zhile decided to leave the space and check things out.

Seeing Jiang Yuxing lounging around so carefree, Shi Zhile went over and gave him a push.

"Pythons are animals, too. They can be farmed. So logically, I should be able to put it in the Breeding Space, right?"

Jiang Yuxing rolled over. "Who knows!"

"You know!"

Jiang Yuxing sat up and pointed to his right cheek. "You stole a kiss from me yesterday. I was originally going to tell you, but I feel like I got the short end of the stick."

Shi Zhile looked thoughtful for a moment. She quickly brought her face close to his lips, then pulled away just as fast.

"Now you’ve taken advantage of me, too. I won’t hold you responsible. We’re even."

Jiang Yuxing turned his body away, signaling that the conversation was over. Shi Zhile reached out and forcefully turned his face back toward her.

"Chuyi said if I die, you die. If you don’t tell me, I’m going to have to take a risk. And if I die..."

"You can’t!"

Shi Zhile froze. "What do you mean, I can’t?"

"The Breeding Space can’t hold the giant python. The space is too small, and the python is too big. If you force it into the Breeding Space, the space will shatter."

He sighed. "Whether it’s the Breeding Space or the Planting Space, there’s only one of each in the game. Once they’re damaged or shattered, they can’t be repaired.

It’s... like a balloon. You can slowly upgrade it to make it bigger, but you can’t just forcefully stuff things inside.

Let me give you a reminder: don’t rely too heavily on the two spaces in any dungeon. The energy in the game world is relatively stable, but that’s not necessarily true for dungeons. If there isn’t enough energy, you might be able to get in but not get out."

Shi Zhile nodded thoughtfully, then pulled him out of the space.

The recliner underneath him vanished instantly, and an unprepared Jiang Yuxing fell straight to the ground.

He shot Shi Zhile a resentful look. The next second, Mo Ze and the others appeared.

Mo Ze bent down and helped Jiang Yuxing up. "Messenger, why are you sitting on the ground?"

Shi Zhile answered before he could, "The great Messenger loves the earth so much, he was giving it a kiss."

Mo Ze: "With... his butt?"

The tribesmen behind him couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Shi Zhile gestured for everyone to be quiet, then carefully observed their surroundings.

Trees were broken, and a path nearly two meters wide had been crushed through the grass to the west.

At that moment, Shi Zhile finally understood why Jiang Yuxing said the giant python was too big.

Compared to this python, the one she’d killed in the first dungeon was a large snake at best.

"A python two meters in diameter... the meat from that would probably be enough to last a lifetime."

Jiang Yuxing threw cold water on her idea. "It might be enough to feed you for a lifetime, but you’re not even enough to get stuck in its teeth."

Shi Zhile’s expression turned serious. "Zhuri, you lead Mo Ze and the others back to our territory. Then, pick all the fruits you mentioned. If it’s not the right season for the fruit, use the shovels to dig up any small trees and bring them back to the tribe."

She took out three shovels, handed them over, and taught them how to use them.

Everyone was obedient. They took the shovels and left with Zhuri.

Only the two of them remained in the clearing. Shi Zhile looked at Jiang Yuxing. "Are you going back to the tribe or coming with me?"

Jiang Yuxing brushed the dust off his clothes and started walking west.

In contrast to Jiang Yuxing’s casual stride, Shi Zhile was much more furtive.

Her eyes scanned their surroundings, not missing the slightest sign of movement.

The closer they got to the west, the higher the terrain became. The sea breeze blowing past their ears carried a faint scent of blood.

The grass ahead became a tangled mess, as if the giant python had thrashed about maliciously.

Jiang Yuxing also slowed his pace. Shi Zhile took out her axe and walked in the direction of the sea breeze.

About half an hour later, the smell of blood grew stronger. From a great distance, Shi Zhile could faintly see black scales slithering.

She stopped, and she and Jiang Yuxing ducked behind a large tree.

At the same time, screams and the sounds of fighting came from not far away.

"The scales are too hard! I can’t find its weak spot!"

"Attack its eyes!"

"Quick! Get out of the way!"

The last voice was all too familiar. Shi Zhile’s head snapped toward the python, and she quickly scrambled up a tree branch.

Through her binoculars, Shi Zhile saw the players fighting the giant python.

Three men and three women, all of them splattered with blood.

Shi Zhile stared intently at the girl who was fiercely hacking at the python. When the python reared its body, she couldn’t stop herself from shouting, "Get out of the way!"

The girl used the momentum to roll aside. The immense impact slammed her onto her back, and she violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the girl looked in Shi Zhile’s direction.

There was nothing to see but dense leaves.

Shi Zhile quickly climbed down from the tree and sprinted toward the giant python.

"Shi Zhile! Don’t go!"

Jiang Yuxing followed close behind. He tried to grab her but found he couldn’t outrun her.

By the time he caught up, he was met with the sight of Shi Zhile raising her axe and furiously chopping at the giant python.

Faced with the Level Three Axe, the python’s scales weren’t hard enough. After dozens of strikes, the tough scale finally shattered under the onslaught.

The axe embedded itself in the flesh, then was viciously pulled out, tearing away a large chunk of bloody meat. The pain caused the python to instantly arch its body.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Zhile darted into the area encircled by the snake’s body.

Jiang Yuxing followed her in.

As soon as she was inside, Shi Zhile ran toward the girl.

The python’s attack came again. With lightning-fast reflexes, Shi Zhile pulled the group into her Planting Space.

Inside the Planting Space, everyone except for the girl eyed Shi Zhile and Jiang Yuxing with suspicion.

The man in the lead, dragging an injured leg, pulled the girl behind him and watched the two of them defensively, "Who are you? Why did you save us?"

Shi Zhile pointed at the girl. "I didn’t save you all. I saved her—Shi Zhiyi."

Before the man could speak again, Shi Zhiyi stepped past him and came to stand before Shi Zhile.

"She is my younger sister, Shi Zhile."

Her eyes welled with tears as she slowly reached out her hand.

Just as Shi Zhile thought Shi Zhiyi was about to pat her head, a slap landed squarely on her forehead.

"You little brat! Why don’t you just die of stupidity? Seeing a giant python and trying to kill it instead of running..."

Before the second slap could fall, Jiang Yuxing’s hand shot out and stopped it.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he violently threw aside the hand that was about to strike Shi Zhile’s head.

"She’s already dumb enough. If you injure her further, are you going to pay for it with your life?"

Shi Zhiyi froze, looking Jiang Yuxing up and down. Then, her fierce expression instantly melted into a sorrowful one as she began to sob.

"Lele, it’s all my fault. I hurt you. But your big sister was just worried about you. Your boyfriend is so fierce... he seems to dislike me. It must be because I’m not a good enough sister.

*Sob sob*..."

Shi Zhiyi had the kind of pure, elegant beauty of a lotus blossom emerging from clear water. Her voice was soft and delicate, making her look especially pitiful when she cried.

Even though she knew she was faking it, Shi Zhile’s heart still clenched.

She looked at Jiang Yuxing. "She only hit me because she was worried, and it wasn’t even that hard. Why are you being so mean to her?"

Jiang Yuxing: "..."

He laughed in exasperation. "Why didn’t she just hit you to death then."

Shi Zhiyi wiped away non-existent tears. "How can he be so careless with Lele? Not like me, all I can think about is Lele’s safety~"
