Chapter 206: Chapter 72 Python Transformation _1

"Bang!"

A stone about the size of a human head hit the enormous python, bounced twice, then rolled down.

The python, coiled at the edge of the lake like an enormous turd, immediately reacted, sticking out its head to look for its foe.

Just as it protruded its head, another stone of similar size crashed down.

After being hit by five or six stones, the python finally pinpointed the source of its annoyance — from the snake’s perspective, a stone the size of a human head dropping from the sky could only be considered as harassment.

The enemy, of course, was Yan Fei. However, to the python, Yan Fei was nothing more than a small speck constantly appearing in the sky above. Each time he appeared, he would disappear in an instant, only to drop a large rock.

Killing a one-meter-long small snake is easy, but killing a python multiple times thicker requires preparation.

When Yan Fei last killed Terrestrisuchus, he first used stones and then transformed into an Iguanodon, trampling a Terrestrisuchus to death. But how could he stomp on a python?

The inherent characteristics of the snake mean that even if you attack any part of it, the other parts of its body can still make a counterattack, leaving you no room to strike.

What’s more, pythons possess extremely strong vitality. A python close to twenty meters long, probably a titanoboa, even if it stuck its head out for him to step on, he wouldn’t dare! Regardless of whether he could kill it or not, even if he succeeded in killing it with one step, the dying struggle of the python, even with a slight touch, would be unbearable.

Be it a snake or a python, the scaliness of their skin is different from human skin. Human skin fits tightly to our bodies, but underneath their bones is a thin layer of flesh, then skin. Anyone who has grabbed a snake would know, underneath a snake’s skin is hardness, whilst the skin is soft and loose. If you grasp it, you can feel the separation between the snake’s skin and the inside.

The Titanoboa’s skin was no different. Normally, it has a diameter of over a meter and after gorging itself to about five or six meters, it never burst its belly. Its ability to contract so powerfully, coupled with the lubricating effect of the membrane between the bones and skin, results in a formidable impact reduction.

By analogy, it’s like covering your finger with a robust but loose, highly elastic sheath, applying oil to the inner layer of the sheath. Then, if you try to punch your own finger, anything that falls upon it will have its impact immediately reduced by the sheath.

Having waited for a day before deciding to act, Yan Fei would not engage in an unprepared fight.

What he was indeed doing right now was harassing the Titanoboa.

For he knew that even if he switched to a larger stone, he couldn’t kill this creature in one fell swoop. After all, he couldn’t appear too high above the python. That way, he wouldn’t be able to aim, and he couldn’t guarantee the stone would hit the python.

It’s well-known that while the strength of pythons is tremendous, their stamina is not up to par, especially a Python that has just eaten its fill. Even if it’s a Titanoboa, there’s no way to escape this weakness.

So, Yan Fei continued to harass it relentlessly to deplete the python’s strength first.

Under Yan Fei’s harassment, the python was furious. At first, it arched half of its body and began to hiss, trying to intimidate Yan Fei. When that proved impossible, the creature prepared to leave.

But every time it tried to swim towards the edge of the lake, a shower of stones would fall beside its head, including larger rocks, to block and disturb it. Not all of them hit it, but they did prevent it from approaching the lake’s edge.

Under such circumstance, the python had no choice but to turn and swim in another direction.

Then, just like being chased as cattle or sheep, every time it tried to swim to the shore, it was continually nudged away from the shore by the falling stones from front and back.

Until it reached a narrow mountain gully that was like a small road, with steep slopes on both sides.

Yan Fei had been waiting for it to enter such a terrain. As soon as the opportunity came, he didn’t even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He begun to carry a huge stone a meter square, appeared above the python in an instant and dropped the massive stone.

This time, the place he appeared was higher, he didn’t aim much, but despite the massive stone not landing on the python, it landed on the slope and started rolling down with a rumble.

But it didn’t end there.

Before the first giant stone had rolled down, the second and third were already appearing in the sky.

It was almost like a heavy stone rain falling from the sky, one after another.

Some of these stones hit the python directly, others fell on the slopes on both sides before rolling down.

The python, sluggish from its bloated stomach, only sensed the danger in time to attempt coiling up its body, raising its head high and hissing at the sky.

But it was too late, one rock fell after another. The python’s hissing struggle only served to prolong the stone rain. Those stones that hit its body slipped off, propped up by stones and earth on the sides before another one rolls down from the slope and press on top.

"Bang! Bang! Bang... "

The rain of colossal stones from the sky seemed to never cease, falling relentlessly. The python initially started instinctively contracting and twisting to dodge when it was hit, but the subsequent falling stones were too many, all it could do was hiss helplessly.

The python’s body tried to dodge, but the narrow space hindered its movement. As more and more stones fell, it gradually compressed the space it could move in.

When its exceptionally bloated abdomen got stuck by the rocks, even if it tried harder to raise its head to hiss, even if its tail could sweep a few rocks away, it was all of no avail.

Soon the giant body was completely stuck by the boulders, followed by more falling and rolling down on top. In an instant, the small gully was filled with rocks. The raised upper body of the python became fewer and fewer, until only beneath the pile of rocks could you still hear the python’s death-struggle-like hissing screams.

Then Yan Fei let out a satisfied sigh of relief, appearing next to the small gully.

The rain of rocks just now was enough to scare off any other creatures from approaching. So, he simply stood confidently beside the pile of rocks, listening to the still hissing of the python, as he wiped his sweat, panting and looking at his labor’s fruits.

From the beginning, Yan Fei never thought he could kill the python instantly.

If he had used a boulder right away, regardless of whether he could accurately aim at the python from a high enough height, even if he did aim right, unless the python was hit right on the head, it could still escape. And when the python sensed danger, maybe it would just regurgitate its food and escape into the lake, then Yan Fei would be completely out of options.

Now, this unfortunate titan python is completely immobilized.

Luckily, its head was not hit while it was dodging, and right now its hissing and squirming head can still be seen through the gaps between the rocks, but that’s also its misfortune. It would hurt less if it died immediately, for the python’s body behind it was full of wounds caused by the boulders, even its belly has exploded.

Its extremely full belly was just too big a target, when hit directly by a large stone, it was horrifically awful.

Right now, only a small part of the python’s body, along with its small head can move and wiggle a bit, after all, the spaces left by the pile of boulders are quite large.

In fact, the parts of the body that are still able to move are also of no use now, they are all divided into sections by the boulders, unable to exert any strength, they are just moving out of instinct.

So tired!

Because he wanted to appear on Vegetable Garden Island, he had to enter from the human world. And the rocks that needed to be moved were all in the dinosaur world. In order to ensure speed, Yan Fei collected nearly all the suitable sized rocks on several small islands and placed them together.

To facilitate moving the rocks through the human world, he even intentionally found an open place by the river.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t work to move the rocks back and forth without enough space.

Now everything’s worthwhile.

This plan has drained a lot of Yan Fei’s wisdom.

First, he tormented and harassed the python, numbing it and causing it to consume some energy, and forced it to come to the perfect ambush location.

If the python had sensed something wrong earlier on and expelled the food in its belly, its movements would have been faster; if it hadn’t been exhausted beforehand, it might have had faster reactions when ambushed and possibly escaped.

But now, it can only accept its fate.

Crushed under the rocks, Yan Fei wanted to put the python out of its misery sooner, but he could only let it die slowly by itself.

Fortunately, this process won’t be long; its belly is broken, and many places on its body had been shattered, indicating that by daybreak, it should be finished.

As for now, Yan confidently leaves the python to slowly die on its own as he goes to prepare food and feed the giant salamanders on Toad Island.

In reality, the python died earlier than Yan Fei expected, after all, he couldn’t see what the wound on the python’s body under the rocks was like.

When he subconsciously felt he could once again transform into a python, he immediately stuffed the meat in his hand into his mouth, walked outside and began to transform.

The three puppies surrounding him were shocked by the sudden appearance of the giant creature, but they quickly reacted. These three chaps were quite ’experienced’, amazingly not afraid at all, they barked in tender voices and charged right up.

Then the three little guys just experienced misfortune; a trembling motion from the python’s body flung them away. Instantly they didn’t dare to get close to this giant python again.

Under the confused gaze of the three puppies, this nearly twenty-meter python began rolling around like it was having a seizure. After rolling around for a while, wreaking havoc on a good amount of vegetation, the python stopped and transformed back into a crestfallen Yan Fei.

Then, kicking away the three puppies who were about to gather around again, he ran to an open spot outside the vegetable garden, continued to transform into the giant python, and started to struggle again.

Whether it’s transforming into a small Compsognathus or a big Iguanodon, including Terrestrisuchus, sarcosuchus, cinerous vulture, pterosaur, they all have legs. Getting used to walking with legs, losing both hands and feet all of a sudden, having to crawl on the ground with the body, that’s really... Unusual.

The round body, if not balanced properly, would flip over, truly like it was having a seizure.

So until daybreak, in an open space in the forest on Vegetable Garden Island, only a giant python was seen acting up here. Sometimes dashing, sometimes simply going around a tree a few times, luckily it didn’t tie itself into a knot; that would be quite embarrassing.

In fact, it was nearly stuck in a knot several times and took a while to get untangled. Fortunately, he used to have a long process of learning to fly, which developed enough patience.

By the time the sky to the east started turning white, this python had basically gained control over its body. Although it can’t slither yet, at least it won’t flip over accidentally, or tangle itself into a knotted mess.

What a huge improvement.
