7th-rank monster species, [Sand Python]. Though almost weak enough to 98a0900a84 be 8th-rank, it received a 3d5f3c3690 7th-rank rating due to its 82e2dfbe6e annoying ability to put people 47b8e3ec2a to sleep when making eye 153f981aa2 contact.a42558ce3797fbd6

The Sand Python from earlier was quite large, but it’s a monster you encounter quite often in dungeons.312049b8a2837b60

Thanks to that, most f25aec0741 hunters of decent rank f557e1bc31 have basic immunity to 119e3fd1fe it.60ffc334c3567c06

Even Cha Si-hyeon 406b63e6ae had shown some ea3c6a8963 consideration to Yoo deba9c8fec Yi-joo, who seemed cc873e6ce8 to lack any 1ac805bf61 mana just from 01d5ce608c her appearance.b3cae165766ccf33

Originally, the [Sand Python] ee43025c6d releases poison when killed b25d6d6f72 without stabbing its neck.3b06cced4de70046

Normally, Cha Si-hyeon, who e30bb0aac5 is immune to poison, 1987e75afa would have killed it a52cb09998 recklessly, but he had 2d7fa3a9dd stabbed its neck out 3daafb4761 of consideration for the faf54223ba C-rank Yoo Yi-joo.e376b259698d7d99
