Chapter 27: Saving Jerome

The cab pulled outside the abandoned building, and Allen stepped out of the car as the cab quickly left.

This is where the Speckled Snake and Allen had an appointment.

The floor was covered in trash and some homeless feces, and Allen walked around to get inside the abandoned building.

"It looks like you guys are on good terms. I thought you wouldn't show up or call the cops." The speckled snake appeared on the empty second floor, looking at Allen and smiling.

Allen glanced at the speckled snake and then shifted his eyes to his side, where Jerome stood. At this point, he was wearing SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon underwear and had a bruise on his face. He was tied to a post and had a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Allen looked at Jerome, who had a slightly odd expression, "Man, am I late? Is your back door okay?"

Jerome stretched his neck out at Allen, and he kept humming in his throat as if he wanted to say something.

"I see, you want me to give this asshole who popped your back door a hard time, don't you? I know." Allen looked exasperated.

Jerome's humming intensified.

The speckled snake jumped from the second floor and landed in front of Allen. His body was wreathed in black smoke, and he finally landed on the ground as three black wolves and an eagle.

"I don't have time to continue chatting with you guys. Gear up to die." The speckled snake snorted coldly as the three black wolves pounced toward Allen.

Allen instantly became severe; his mind became very calm as he silently ran the meditative thoughts that Addison had taught him.

At the same time, his dynamic sight began to activate, and the speed of the three black wolves immediately slowed down.

Like a black wolf close to Allen, he quickly pulled a dagger from behind him. The sharp dagger plunged into the black wolf's eye and slashed through.

As the black wolf was fatally attacked and turned into smoke and dissipated, Allen quickly bent low to avoid the pounces of the other two black wolves.

Suddenly, Allen heard the sound of wings vibrating above his head, and once again, he slumped to the ground and rolled to one side.

The black hawk in the air missed Allen, leaving only a few claw marks on the ground.

Allen had just gotten up from the ground when he once again encountered two black wolves attacking him. Allen kicked one of them away. The other black wolf's claws had just scratched Allen's clothes. Allen quickly clutched its head, and his right-hand dagger plunged into its head once again.

A surprised expression appeared on the speckled snake's face when he saw that Allen had quickly resolved his two black wolves.

"How did you become so powerful? Obviously. A few days ago, I still chased you around!" the speckled snake inquired in disbelief.

Allen shrugged, "Because I'm turned on."

The Speckled Snake retrieved Black Wolf and Black Eagle, and he seemed to know that such an attack would not harm Allen.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk because I will crush every inch of bone in your body and turn you into a dead man!" the speckled snake said in a cold voice.

Allen raised an eyebrow, and then something that shocked him happened.

The speckled snake's entire body was enveloped in smoke, rapidly growing taller and more prominent. Finally, in front of Allen was a giant python with black patterns wrapped all over its body.

Looking at the python in front of him, which was close to being ten meters long and buckets thick, Allen spat, "Fuck! Why didn’t Dwight H. Little hire you when he made Anaconda back in the day? Would’ve saved a ton on production costs."

The python hissed towards Allen, then lunged towards him with great speed.

Allen spat at the python but was still nervous because the fighting skills he'd learned didn't help.

It only helped a little from the start; human fighting skills were still used on humans. Still, Addison's training helped Allen improve his reflexes and speed.

The python's tail swiped hard at Allen, but he dodged it with a jump, and the tail lashed against a stone pillar. Stone chips and wall skin kept coming off.

Allen was chased by the python and looked miserable. He also tried to attack, but his dagger could only leave a scratch on the python's scales.

At that moment, not far from the abandoned building, someone watched the place with binoculars.

Scott looked at Addison and asked, "Do you need our help? The speckled snake's level has now reached C rank."

Addison shook his head and said flatly, "He needs a real battle to grow in experience; besides, he has more potential than that."

In the abandoned building, Jerome finally spat out the rags in his mouth as he watched the fight between Allen and the python and spat. "Fuck, what a hard skin; this would be the favorite of those noblewomen if it were made into a bag; after all, they love snakeskin and hard guys the most. Allen, stab him in the anus with your dagger. It must be soft there!"

"Shut up! I don't know where the fucking anus of a snake is!" Allen roared towards Jerome. However, in that one opening, he was whipped hard by the python's tail.
