Python Hunting Part 2

"System how many points do I have" asked Adam.

{Well, the host has 18 points left} stated the system in the same monotonous voice it always spoke in, but this time seemed to have a hint of mockery within it.

"Buy 8 E Rank HP Recovery Pills" ordered Adam, knowing his leg wouldn't recover quickly enough without the assistance of pills.

Instantly he felt something enter his inventory and after opening the inventory tab, from the game-like menu he had access to, he saw the pills.

Unlike previously, when he used the E Rank HP Recovery Pills on Floor 1, when he was launched off the mountain, Adam was only aiming to heal his leg.

Adam had lost 40 HP from the breaking of his leg and the torsion of his leg muscles.

Therefore 4 E Rank HP Recovery Pills would be enough to heal himself, and was relatively cheap compared to everything else within the system.

Scoffing down the 4 pills, Adam felt the same incredulous feelings he felt the last time as his body felt a surge of energy and vitality and he felt his leg's bones and muscles realign and recover themselves to their peak state in an instant.

Jumping up and stretching his leg, it felt as though nothing had happened to it and it was completely recovered.

[If I sold these I could make a fortune] realised Adam.

But the thought was instantly removed from his mind as he knew how much unwanted attention and troubles it would bring him, especially with the existence of cultivators.

"Time to hunt these python's" mumbled Adam to himself.

The plan he came up with after already facing a python beast was very direct, but had no direct danger to him involved.

He would summon his Goblin Summon and Canidae Summon, that were quite large and had a high strength stat, to hold down the python beast that wouldn't be able to slip through or coil around them while being held down.

Its bite may be painful and cause slight damage, but unlike other venomous snakes, it was nothing in comparison and couldn't be neglected, while Adam would strike down its tail and continue to inflict it damage until it died.

Dashing to the right, planning to circulate around the entire floor and wipe out all the python beasts on the stage, Adam soon came across another python that was instantly alerted by Adam's presence and got ready for battle.

Hissing at Adam hatefully, it slithered rapidly towards Adam.

Learning from his mistake, Adam jumped backwards, but mid-air called out two things.

"Goblin Summon"

"Canidae Summon"

A stocky green goblin, that was now the average height of a human, after growing in strength, had appeared out of thin air beside the python.

While on the other side of the python appeared a large Canidae beast that had features unique to coyotes, arctic foxes and grey wolves, all fused together.

Adam was surprised by the fact that his summons had appeared exactly where he had intended them to appear and was happy about the new feature of the summoning he had learnt, but in such a situation didn't have the luxury of relaxing.

"Hold it down" barked Adam to his summons, who instantly followed their master's orders.

The python heading towards and looking at Adam, was too late to react to the two beasts that appeared out of thin air.

Grabbing the python's body with its large and strong hands, the goblin summon held tightly onto the python's body and pushed it down while the Canidae summon dug its dagger-like teeth into the scales of the python and used its paws to clamp it down.

It had worked out better than he had expected and Adam was shocked by the growth in power and the slight change in appearance his summons had experienced.

Without time to waste, knowing that the python couldn't be underestimated and his summons were using his MP, Adam dashed around the python to its tail.

It struggled under the grip of the goblin and Canidae summon, but it was to no avail as Adam slashed downwards onto its tail and broke past the thin scales revealing its soft innards.

Adam ruthlessly stuck his dagger into the inside of the python beast and dug his arm deeper up the python's body as blood soaked his arm.

With the massive loss of HP and the consistent flow of blood, Adam jumped back and left his summons to hold down the beast until the beast finally died after a few minutes.

Instantly Adam felt he had gained EXP, gold and an item and was suddenly alerted by a notification from the system.

{Would you like to collect this beast as you Pythonidae base beast. YES / NO}

[Yes] answered Adam without hesitation.

Excitedly and curiously checking his inventory, Adam found a new type of equipment he had never looted before.

It was an armour type equipment.

E+ Rank Scale Vambrace

Effects:

+2 in resistance

+1 in strength

Its effects were great and in the same way as the daggers, two of them could be equipped at once, one on each arm.

It was a type of armour that protected the arm from the elbow to the wrist.

Equipping the Scale Vambrace, a green scale-like armour appeared around his left forearm and Adam instantly felt his body had become more sturdy and slightly stronger.

"Amazing" mumbled Adam in awe of the incredible effects that the items within the system had.

If the E Rank items were so useful and powerful, Adam was wondering what higher grade weapons would be like and what was the limit of the dungeon.

It was an endless cycle and the more he thought about it, the less he knew and the more questions he had.

After a few minutes, Adam was beginning to feel the fatigue of keeping two summons activated at once, that he never noticed while being engrossed deep in thought, and decided he would postpone his contemplation until after he had left the dungeon.

Retracting his summons, Adam moved along the dense rain forest looking for more pythons and each time he came across one he took it out using the same method he had formulated.
