Chapter 2476
Lillian initially refrained her urge to attack, but Otis beside her could not bear any longer.
''Leader, this iinbecile knows nothing. Why are you listening to hiin?'' Otis let out a roar before
charging in with a sword in hand. The other meinbers casted each other a look before fallowing suit.
The Black Sand Pythons were upper-middle class enchanted beasts, their inner cores were a treasure
in the eyes of all cultivators and were extremely popular in the black markets. They had come all
the way here for the sole purpose of hunting down the Black Sand Pythons and now that they had
finally caught sight of one, how could they possibly let the chance slip by?
''What a bunch of Inorons, '' Darryl cursed inwardly before shouting across towards Lillian, ''Ask your
men to stay alert on the surroundings. The Black Sand Pythons are gregarious. It's notpossible for one
to wander on its own, there must be more.''
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt''What?'' Lillian's heart stopped in shock. She knew that the inner cores of the Black Sand pythons
were valuable, but she hadn't a clue of their social habits.
''Everyone, watch out!'' Lillian yelled at her subordinates but it was apparently too late. Otis and the other
members began to hear appalling hisses from around them. They had been surrounded by the Black Sand Python
that they had seen earlier. Instantly, a few Black Sand Pythons slithered out of the woods towards the men in
incredible speed. Lillian stomped her feet in frustration and hurried towards her comrades while shouting back
towards Darryl. ''Darren, stay back and be careful!''
Darryl smiled at her warning. He hadn't thought that Lillian would be such a caring person who would worry about
the safety of others under these circumstances. He complied and hid himself behind a tree, pretending to be
scared. For a moment, Darryl had the urge to head over and help, but the more thought he put into it, the more
he felt that he should refrain from doing so.
'Youngsters nowadays are far too reckless, this ought to teach them a lesson,' he thought. Lillian and the others
managed to coordinate with one another facing, against half a dozen of pythons at the beginning but they were
slowly beginning to lose strength.
After all, the Black Sand Pythons moved at incredible speed and were extremely powerful when they attacked with
their tails.
Darryl no longer hesitated as he saw the group struggling. He picked a few rocks from the ground and sprung
them out with his fingers, each containing his internal energy and they flew at the speed of a bullet. Instantly, the
rocks connected with the heads of the Black Sand Pythons with impressive precision. Another feature of Black
Sand pythons that was different from other species was that while the weak points of other types of pythons were
hidden exactly at the seven inches mark on their bodies, the weak points of the Black Sand Pythons were located
on their head. Darryl was mindful about being secretive. Without anyone noticing, the Black Sand pythons were
weakened by his attack and were then killed by Lillian and the others with ease.
The moment they retrieved the inner cores from their prey, the entire Blood Thorn Mercenary Team cheered in joy.
''Darren!'' Lillian hopped over, excitement filling her delicate features. ''A promise is a promise. You helped us find
the Black Sand Pythons, so you can have this inner core as a reward,'' said Lillian as she extended a hand to offer

It was then when Otis canie between them abruptly and yelled, ''Leader, why are you offering him the inner core?
He was scared sh*tless hiding afar while we were fighting against the Black Sand Pythons. What gives him the right
to claim a reward when he didn't contribute at all?''
''Yes, it took us so rnuch effort to finally get our hands on these. Why should he get one?''
''Besides, he didn't help us to locate the Black Sand pythons. We just bumped into them
naturally.''
''Leader, we don't need someone this useless, just cast him away,'' said the others, all nodding
in agreement. None of them tried to conceal the contempt in their eyes.
Though he managed to ignore the insults so far, Darryl had to admit he was slightly irritated at this
point. 'Damn you all,' he thought, 'if it weren't for me, you would be in the stomachs of those Black
Sand Pythons by now.'
Darryl tried his best to reITiain silent. On the other hand, Lillian seerned to be resolute with her
decision.
''All of you, stop. We keep our promises. Besides, Darren here did warn me about the pythons,'' she
said, glaring at her men.
