The spider web blocking the way was also completely burned up by Doggie’s flames.
After a short while, Gabriel once again arrived at the familiar place.
He looked at the Source of Life that was right in front of him. The Source of Life was as calm as it was yesterday. There were no ripples on the surface of the lake.
However, Gabriel was very clear that there was a huge monster hiding in the lake.
If he was not careful enough, the Ice Lake Python might just swallow him whole.
Gabriel was not a fool. He would not foolishly carry a Hunting Rifle to look for the Ice Lake Python.
He knew that the Ice Lake Python had an attribute bonus in the water. In addition to its own skills, as long as it found its prey diving into the water, it could instantly freeze the entire lake.
“I’ve got it!” Gabriel patted the back of his head. He had already thought of a way to deal with it.
He could use the meat to lure the Ice Lake Python out of the water. As long as he could lure the Ice Lake Python out of the water, he had the confidence to kill it.
Gabriel took out the spider meat that he had just obtained from his backpack. The spider meat was poisonous. As long as the Ice Lake Python ate it, it would definitely be heavily injured. He took out a syringe and injected some paralytic toxin into the inner layer of the spider meat. It would strengthen the effect of the poison.
Finally, he placed the spider meat about 30 meters away from the lake, and this distance was only 20 meters away from him.
As long as he could lure the Ice Lake Python out, he would not let it off his hook so easily.
Everything was ready, except for the target taking the bait.
…
Two hours had passed, and the surface of the lake was still as calm as ever.
Gabriel was tired of waiting. Such a large piece of meat, and the thick smell of blood on it would definitely attract monsters.
Could it be that the Ice Lake Python had gone out to hunt for food, or perhaps it had discovered Gabriel?
Just as he was about to go out and retrieve the spider meat, the water started to shake crazily and formed ripples.
A huge head stretched out from the middle. It rolled its eyes and scanned the surroundings, as if to confirm if there was any danger.
Gabriel, who was hiding behind the tree, was sweating.
If he were to go out to retrieve the meat just now, the Ice Lake Python would target him for sure, and things would have become much more troublesome.
Seeing that the Ice Lake Python was still observing its surroundings, Gabriel was not in a hurry to shoot his shot.
The smell of blood from the spider meat was enough to cover up his and Doggie’s aura. It was impossible for them to be discovered.
Hiss…
After confirming that there was no danger lurking around, the Ice Lake Python stretched its entire body out of the lake.
It swung its huge body and charged toward the spider meat.
The moment it saw the spider meat, the Ice Lake Python did not hesitate at all. It opened its mouth and swallowed all of it. Then, it turned around and prepared to return to the lake to digest them.
Gabriel, who was hiding in the dark, saw this and immediately began to take action.
He could not let the Ice Lake Python return to the lake. Otherwise, everything that he had done would be in vain.
“Doggie, go!” Gabriel shouted. Doggy, who was hiding in the bushes, scuttled out.
The Ice Lake Python heard the sound and turned around. It lifted its huge body and looked at the human and the puppy in front of it.
Bang!
Gabriel did not waste any time. He immediately pulled the trigger, and a fiery red bullet immediately left the muzzle of the gun and flew out.
Doggie did the same as well. It condensed several blue flames and shot them all out.
The attacks all hit the stomach of the Ice Lake Python, leaving a charred area.
Feeling the pain, the Ice Lake Python did not run away. It opened its bloody mouth and shot out a white laser. It targeted Gabriel.
Gabriel rolled to the side and dodged the attack. The white laser hit the ground and instantly solidified, freezing the ground.
If it hit Gabriel, he would definitely become a popsicle.
Seeing that its attack was dodged, the Ice Lake Python did not give up. It built several ice walls around its body.
Seeing this scene, Gabriel was not anxious at all. Instead, he looked at the Ice Lake Python in front of him with a relaxed expression.
“Doggie, come back. The poison is about to take effect,” Gabriel said to Doggie.
As expected, as soon as he said that, the Ice Lake Python revealed a pained expression. Its huge body instantly collapsed on the ground and shrunk.
The icy ground also broke apart like glass.
Looking at the Ice Lake Python lying on the ground, Gabriel immediately took out his Hunting Rifle and shot it.
Gabriel did not shoot its head. Naturally, he did not want to kill the Ice Lake Python.
Three minutes later.
Gabriel stopped what he was doing and looked at the dying Ice Lake Python. He knew that his chance had come.
He came in front of the Ice Lake Python and instantly felt a cold chill. It was as if he had been locked in an ice cave for seven days and seven nights.
The Ice Lake Python’s body was very massive. It was nearly ten meters long, and its entire body was covered in pale blue scales.
After confirming that the Ice Lake Python could not resist and counterattack anymore, Gabriel took out the monster contract and placed it directly on its head.
Along with a ray of light, a notification sounded from the bracelet.
[Notification: You have become the master of the Ice Lake Python.]
A successful signing!
Gabriel had an extremely powerful pet by his side at the moment.
He patted the head of the Ice Lake Python, and the latter’s eyes showed joy.
After subduing the protector of the lake, it meant that the Source of Life did not have an owner at the moment!
Gabriel quickly walked to the edge of the lake, and the notification of the bracelet sounded again.
[Notification: The Source of Life has lost its protector.]
[Notification: An ownerless Source of Life has been detected. Do you want to become the owner of the Source of Life?]
Nonsense!
Of course Gabriel wanted to become the owner.
The moment he chose to become the owner, the entire lake disappeared, turning into a dot of white light and entering his bracelet.
Gabriel opened the bracelet, and the lake appeared in the space inside.
“This saves me the time to fetch water back and forth. Excellent!” Gabriel said happily.
[Source of Life]
[Type: Mysterious building]
[Owner: Gabriel]
[Area: 20 square meters]
[Available daily: 1 liter]
[Description: 1 liter of lake water can be taken out every day. The lake water can improve the quality of crops that are lower than D rank.]
“What a great day!”
Gabriel leaned against the body of the Ice Lake Python, crossed his legs, and hummed his favorite song.
This time in the forest, he had obtained nearly 200 pieces of meat, a cozy wooden house blueprint, became the owner of the Ice Lake Python and the Source of Life.
He had obtained a lot of valuable resources! More than anything else he had obtained a few days ago!
It was worth for him to endure all the danger and enter the forest again.
After resting for a while, Gabriel prepared to fuse with the Tree Ape’s blood to strengthen himself.
