Tina only cried. The regret in heart overpowered her fear at that moment. She knew that Wilbur would not be in that situation if it were not for her. She felt like she owed him, so she sobbed and said, "Alright, Wilbur. I promise you, we''ll live well if you can save me from this ce. I''ll go live with you in Dasha."


    "Yeah, trust me!"


    They looked at each other, and Wilbur threw her a determined gaze.


    The ck python seemed to see through Wilbur. It flicked its tongue and got close to the metal cage. It licked Tina with its tongue, and she instantly felt overwhelmed by the nasty scent and slimy saliva.


    "Argh!"


    Tina eximed as if someone was sweeping her body with a broom. Wilbur was instantly furious when he saw that. His spiritual energy erupted, and he formed a thunder spear in his left hand. He gripped the spear and abruptly shot it toward the ck python.


    "Go away!"


    The thunder spear hit the python, exploding immediately with sparks that flickered on the python with crackling sounds. "Hiss!" The python was in pain, then it abruptly turned to look at Wilbur. There was a menacing look in its eyes as it slithered toward Wilbur.


    Wilbur kept tossing thunder spears at the python. The python dodged them left and right, and it was in front of Wilbur in the blink of an eye. It abruptly bit down. Wilbur leaped backward, then he jumped while the python had its head down. He wanted to leap onto its head, but he did not expect the python to back away. The python moved swiftly while Wilbur was in mid-air, charging upward and trying to bite Wilbur again.


    "Die!"


    Wilbur wielded the thunder cleaver in his hand and made a sh downwards. Just when the de energy was about to hit the python, the python abruptly dodged away. It dodged another attack from Wilbur again and instantly retaliated by whipping its tail over.


    The python''s initial attacks were all feints. The real attack was the tail whip. Wilbur did not react in time, so he was swiped on the waist by the python''s tail, which sent him flying sideways and crashing heavily into the wall.


    The wall cracked. Wilbur leaped to the ground from the wall. Tina yelled, "Are you okay, Wilbur?"


    Wilbur looked at Tina and replied, "I''m fine, Tina. I''m sorry, but you will need to endure for a while for the following battle."


    Then, Wilbur cast spells with his hands and recited chants. He shouted, "Earth- type defense skill, Thick Earth Realm!"


    Earth walls appeared in an instant, surrounding Tina as the center. It wrapped around the metal cage securely. Wilbur had to wait until the metal cage was fully covered before he knelt on the ground. Blood slipped out from the corner of his mouth.


    Wilbur wiped the blood away and looked up at the python. The python was too cunning, and its feints seemed too real. Moreover, the tail whip was extremely powerful.


    It seemed like the python had the intelligence of a human. Wilbur was shocked, at the same time, he felt a chill. Pythons were not supposed to be able to feint their attacks like that, after all. The nature of snakes was to kill, they would not think like a human.


    However, the python seemed to have the mind of a human. Wilbur was very curious about what potions Greensouce Corp used on the python. He could not believe that a snake had the mind of a human. The python was agile, and it was sneaky with its feints, so it was a hard opponent to defeat.


    Wilbur did not have the solution to defeat the python, but he knew he could not get close to the python. He could only hide far away and attack the python with thunder spears until he found a solution.


    The python was at an advantage. It flicked its tongue and slithered toward Wilbur.


    "I won''t fall for your tricks!"


    Wilbur quickly moved while forming a thunder spear in his left hand again. Then, he kept throwing thunder spears at the python. The python kept dodging, but its size was massive, after all. It was hard for the python to move freely inside the basement.
