A dry chuckle escaped through Cha Si-hyeon’s teeth.889b8705cb3d830b

7th-rank monster species, [Sand Python]. Though almost weak enough cd15e35ca4 to be 8th-rank, it d742a38d72 received a 7th-rank rating 7bc28254e5 due to its annoying 1389a1262f ability to put people a6eee90c4d to sleep when making 694b4f9e7b eye contact.03576636ffa1c175

The Sand Python from earlier was quite large, but it’s a monster you encounter quite often in dungeons.7a8233a4723f7239

Thanks to that, most 7eba55088f hunters of decent rank 860bebaf60 have basic immunity to 6761d468c2 it.03c00fb2d3404692

Even Cha Si-hyeon fcf44813b0 had shown some 11aa242699 consideration to Yoo 756f2cb51e Yi-joo, who seemed 675301f71c to lack any dc75b6d48d mana just from 94866df02c her appearance.584c996f269c1676

Originally, the [Sand Python] releases efc2261596 poison when killed without stabbing d8ca09722a its neck.e66f60ea6f3936f4

Normally, Cha Si-hyeon, 6e07b7c531 who is immune 6196e4bf25 to poison, would 14bd7985d0 have killed it c282978b15 recklessly, but he 743a941afe had stabbed its 5e6e120527 neck out of 4367827813 consideration for the ea4379904f C-rank Yoo Yi-joo.f3a4b06c4b1c7a37
