According to Soraya's account, when they were hunting the Third Rank Cold-Scaled Python, two smaller Second-tier ones showed up as well; more or less, all of them had awakened a trace of the Ancient Ice Crystal Demon Snake bloodline.
They had expected it to be more troublesome, but the process turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.
All three Cold-Scaled Pythons were drained of vigor, their strength not even a third of their normal state, as if they had just gone through a major battle.
The four Level 3 Wizards resolved the fight with ease: one Cold-Scaled Python was killed, and two were captured alive.
The people from the three major Wizard Families of White Stone Castle were quite pleased since the harvest was bigger than they had anticipated; they are probably pondering now how to replenish the essence blood lost by the two captured Cold-Scaled Pythons and also discussing how to distribute them.
But for Soraya, this outcome wasn't ideal.
