zed, allowing him to see from above that a fierce tiger and a large python were battling. "Hey~" That python looked familiar! They recognized it—it was the same one from the earlier fight with the giant bird. "What's going on?" "We've run into an old friend; let's check it out!" "An old friend?" Mo Hancheng and Xue Ying were puzzled, as they knew only a few beings in this forest. "Let's go!" Mo Hancheng signaled Xue Ying to follow, and they cautiously climbed a large tree to watch the epic duel below. "So that's the 'friend' you mentioned!" "Shh, keep it down." Xue Ying quickly fell silent. These were the top bosses, and if discovered, they would be nothing more than a snack. The tiger, true to its reputation as the forest king, radiated a regal aura. The wounded python, previously pecked by the giant bird, had attracted the tiger with the scent of blood. There was no way the tiger would pass up such an easy meal. "Roar~" "Hiss~" The sounds of the tiger and python made the trio's hearts race. These bosses were far stronger, and this forest was their domain. Challenging them would be sheer folly.

The forest floor became a grim battlefield, blood spattering and flesh tearing. Both fought fiercely, the python coiling around the tiger and the tiger clawing deeply into the python’s hide. "Bite, eh? Take this!" Neither yielded, their deadly duel wreaking havoc. The python, in a final desperate move, bit down on the tiger's neck, locking them in a rolling struggle. Other tigers and pythons joined the fray, turning the scene into a chaotic melee of biting, scratching, and flying bodies. "What’s that?!" In the distance, a horde of termites appeared, devouring everything in their path and flattening the area entirely. "Termites!" "We need to go!" Mo Hancheng yelled, and the trio knew these were not ordinary termites but a formidable threat. They leapt
