My Ares Son-in-Law

Sophie was stunned by this sudden change. She never thought that she would end up like this after rushing to the rescue at all costs. Her body drew an arc in the air and flew towards the giant python's mouth, her heart filled with bitterness and helplessness.

She realized that her kindness and courage seemed to be a kind of irony and a weapon of self-harm at this moment. She smiled bitterly to herself, and an indescribable sadness surged in her heart: it turns out that some people's hearts can never be warmed up.

Bai Mingfa watched Sophie being pushed towards the giant python, but he had no hesitation or regret in his heart. He seemed to be driven by an invisible force, running forward like crazy, and every step was filled with fear and eagerness.

There was only one thought echoing in his mind: escape! The farther the better! He hoped that the giant python would devour Sophie, giving him a chance to survive and escape from this terrible place.

Bai Mingfa didn't care about whether he liked it or not at this moment. He ran forward like crazy.

"Mr. Bai, hurry up! Don't just stand there, the monster is chasing us!" Wang Li and the others had already escaped to a safe distance. Their voices were sharp with fear, and they pierced through the air with a hint of eagerness and urging.

As they fled, they did not forget to look back at Bai Mingfa, their eyes full of worry and urging, as if they were afraid that this young master who was usually so high and mighty would become the next target of the giant python.

Bai Mingfa listened to the call from behind and cursed these useless people in his heart. When there was danger, they ran farther than anyone else.

But at this moment, the instinct of survival took over, and he forced himself to put aside those complicated emotions and only thought about how to escape from this land of death as quickly as possible. His steps became more and more rapid, and every step almost exhausted all his strength. Sweat slid down his cheeks, dripped into the dust, and was instantly absorbed.

"What the hell is this thing? Isn't the Age of Warriors just about the awakening of strength and skills? How could such an unimaginable monster appear?" Bai Mingfa muttered to himself as he fled, his voice full of disbelief and shock.

He looked up at the giant python still tumbling on the lake, and an unprecedented sense of fear and powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Are you still in the mood to observe that monster? Run away quickly. As long as we get in the car and lock the door, we will be safe." The companion who was also running for his life reminded him while panting. His voice was also full of fear and anxiety.

"Yes, yes, let's go! Don't hesitate!" Others echoed one after another, and their voices merged into a powerful driving force, pushing everyone to keep running forward.

However, at this critical moment, most people only had one thought in mind: just stay alive. Sophie's safety seemed to have been forgotten by them.

They were only concerned with their own escape, and only took a quick glance at Bai Mingfa's ungrateful behavior before choosing to turn a blind eye. The selfishness and indifference of human nature were infinitely magnified at this moment.

Sophie did not give up easily. Her eyes were shining with an unyielding light, which was the tenacity and perseverance unique to warriors. As a strong warrior at the peak of the Dragon Blood Realm, she was well aware of the huge gap in strength between herself and the giant python, but it was this gap that inspired the fighting spirit and courage hidden deep in her heart.

She took a deep breath, feeling the tremendous internal force surging in her body due to the elixir given by Xiao Chen. This force was like boiling magma, rushing through her meridians.

She closed her eyes and let her mind merge with this power, as if at this moment, she was no longer alone, but connected to some mysterious power between heaven and earth. When Sophie opened her eyes again, her eyes had become unusually firm. She clenched her teeth and tensed her muscles, as if she wanted to concentrate all her strength on this punch.

She suddenly leaped up, her body drawing a graceful arc in the air, like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high, rushing straight towards the giant python's open bloody mouth.

"Bang!" With a deafening roar, Sophie's fist smashed fiercely on the giant python's iron-hard scales with the force of breaking the wind. This blow not only made her arm numb, but also made the surrounding air tremble.

The giant python's huge body trembled slightly, and its originally swift attack came to a momentary pause.

However, this moment of delay was as valuable as gold to Sophie. She knew that she could not fight against the giant python head-on, but she also knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she must do her best to fight for it.

She quickly adjusted her body and prepared for the next round of attack, but the python obviously would not give her this chance.

The giant python angered by Sophie became even more violent at this moment. Its huge eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, as if it wanted to devour Sophie completely.

It opened its bloody mouth that could swallow everything, and with a suffocating stench, it pounced towards Sophie. Sophie could clearly feel the heat wave from the giant python's mouth, as well as the disgusting stench.

"Am I... am I going to die like this... Alas..." Sophie's voice was as thin as a thread, with endless despair and unwillingness, echoing on the empty lake. Her heart seemed to be shrouded by a heavy black curtain, and all hope and light dimmed at this moment.

She sighed helplessly but did not cry. Strangely, she did not feel the slightest fear at this moment. She only felt deep despair and regret. She regretted that she should not have been kind enough to save that scumbag.

In this abyss of despair, Sophie suddenly felt a gentle but firm force lightly touching her body. Then, a powerful force lifted her whole body up, like a fallen leaf blown by the spring breeze, lightly flying off the ground.

She opened her eyes in surprise, only to find herself being hugged tightly by a warm and solid chest. The familiar breath instantly enveloped her, like a ray of sunshine in winter, penetrating the cold darkness.

Sophie's vision gradually became clear, and she saw Xiao Chen's resolute and angular face, his deep eyes filled with unquestionable firmness and tenderness.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through the fear and despair deep in her heart, giving her endless strength and courage. At this moment, all of Sophie's uneasiness and fear disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of peace of mind and dependence.

However, this peace of mind did not last long.

As Sophie's eyes moved downward, she was horrified to find that in order to save her, Xiao Chen had completely exposed his back to the ferocious python. The giant python's huge body was like a moving mountain, with a destructive momentum, it slammed into Xiao Chen's back fiercely. (End of this chapter)
