When snakes fought with each other, they would entangle and swallow each other. Basically, whoever strangled their opponent to death was the winner. After strangling, they could swallow their opponent whole. They could swallow things bigger than themselves, so there was no problem of not being able to eat.
The spotted python had never lost a fight with its own kind. Even if they were of the same size, its strength was several times greater than that of a poisonous snake. Before the poisonous snake could bite through its skin, it had already strangled its opponent to death. This strangulation was not as simple as it seemed. Its bones were broken into more than a dozen pieces.
Of course, the tortoise was no ordinary tortoise. Its limbs were longer than the average tortoise's, and so was its neck. It also opened its mouth very wide. Its two rows of sharp teeth looked quite scary.
When other demonic beasts fought, their roars would shake the heavens and the earth, but when these two fought, they did not make a single sound. The spotted python circled the tortoise silently, looking for an opportunity to entangle it.
The tortoise turned its body on the spot, always facing the python with its head. Although it had a hard shell to protect it, it did not dare to be careless.
Interesting. Did this tortoise need to be so careful?
Du Feng knew about the tortoise. It was one of the descendants of the Black Tortoise, but its bloodline was not very pure. The tortoise's shell was not smooth and round. There were many protruding diamond-shaped objects on it. Those objects were very hard and had a certain degree of edges.
Even if a sword or saber were to slash at it, the blade might break. If a snake tried to wrap itself around the tortoise, it would probably be scratched by those objects.
Not only that, the tortoise also had a very strong bite force. Its bite force was more than five times that of an average tortoise. It did not need to bite the vital parts of its opponent. It only needed to bite the arms, legs, or even the head to crush the bones.
Therefore, in theory, the tortoise did not have to be afraid of a harmless spotted python. But judging from its serious attitude, the spotted python was definitely not simple.
Of course, no matter how strong the python was, since the old hunchback had said that he would be responsible for capturing it alive, Du Feng only needed to find the monster and wait for a good show.
"Friend, I'm afraid I'll need your help this time. I can't handle two demonic beasts at once."
The hunchbacked old man was indeed in a difficult position, so his sack could only fit one demon beast at a time. Although the demon beasts could be slowly subdued inside, they had to be collected one by one.
"Sure, tell me how to help. As long as you earn money, I'll be fine."
What Du Feng was responsible for was actually not difficult. He was responsible for holding back one of the Monster Beasts while the hunchbacked old man caught the other one. Of course, this capture process still required the little gnome's cooperation. The little dwarf was in charge of attracting the demonic beasts so that the hunchbacked old man could attack from behind.
"How about this? You lure the snake away first."
The old hunchback pondered for a moment and finally decided to let Du Feng lure the spotted python away while he and the dwarf went after the tortoise. Because tortoises were slow, they were easier to catch.
"Okay, be careful."
Du Feng patted the red gourd on his waist, and a Blood Severing Flying Sword shot out. The newly upgraded Blood Severing Flying Sword's sharpness was quite good. With a swoosh, it flew over the Spotted Python's head and scratched its eye membrane.
"Hiss …"
The spotted python was furious. Usually, no one would do this when it fought. It was also very confident in its scales. It didn't expect the newcomer to be so shameless as to attack its weak eye.
Although the corners of the spotted python's eyes were protected by a transparent membrane, they were still its eyes. No matter how strong the transparent membrane was, it was not as strong as the hard scales. The Blood Severing Flying Sword scratched its eye membrane and directly blinded one of its eyes.
Snakes had poor eyesight and could only see objects at close range. Its hearing was also very poor because it didn't have an outer or middle ear. It had a strong sense of smell and a long, thin tongue with a forked tip. By sticking out and retracting its tongue, it could determine the enemy's position. Therefore, the blinding of one eye did not affect the spotted python too much. The problem was that it hurt.
Moreover, the Blood Severing Flying Sword had the effect of breaking its blood. As a result, the wound couldn't heal and kept bleeding.
At that moment, the spotted python didn't care about its biggest enemy, the tortoise. It twisted its body and chased after Du Feng. At the same time, the dwarf launched a sneak attack on the tortoise and began to help the hunchbacked old man attract the attacks.
"Be careful, friend. Don't kill it. It's worthless if it dies."
Seeing Du Feng leave with the spotted python, the hunchbacked old man didn't forget to remind him. He found that Du Feng's Blood Severing Flying Sword was very sharp. If he attacked it fiercely, it might kill the spotted python.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring it back alive."
While they were talking, Du Feng had already run far away. The hunchbacked old man and the dwarf were busy subduing the tortoise.
"Uncle, are we really going to catch this tortoise alive? It won't fit if we catch too many."
When Du Feng was far away, the dwarf discussed with the hunchbacked old man. The capacity of their sack was limited, and the more monsters it contained, the slower it would be to subdue them.
"Silly boy, who said we're going to train? I'm already prepared."
The hunchbacked old man didn't explain. He just told the dwarf to cooperate. He had caught a leopard cat before, and now he was going to catch a tortoise. He didn't seem worried about not being able to fit the tortoise.
"Okay, then hurry up. I'm afraid I can't hold it."
The dwarf took the initiative to attack. He jumped around in front of the tortoise. The tortoise was slow to begin with, so it was led around in circles. The two of them cooperated well. It didn't take long for the tortoise to be subdued into the sack.
The hunchbacked old man rested for a while. Then, he decided to inform Du Feng to come back and lure the spotted python back. After resting for a while, the sack could be used again.
"Be careful!"
Unexpectedly, before the hunchbacked old man could inform them, Du Feng came back on his own. Not only did he come back, but he also brought back a lot of toys. To be precise, he brought back five spotted pythons. One of them was even thicker than the previous one.
Uh … The hunchbacked old man felt a headache coming on. Did this kid run into a snake's nest? How did one Spotted Python turn into five in just a single trip? There's still time to subdue so many pythons.
"Run!"
