"Lv.12 mechanical snake huh, this is gonna be tricky, it's fast and I need to be careful of its bite since that'll take quite a bit to repair. Mom, Dad, your daughter's gonna be a fighter now"
Maya would slowly bend her knees trying not to make a sound as she got in a crouched start position, she wasn't a physical kind of person when she was still human but she did watch plenty of documentaries that attributed to physicality, she formed a shield on her left arm and drew her blade with her right.
"Phew the Animal channel made this look easier than it actually is, anyway ready, set, GO!"
Maya sprinted towards the mechanical snake with her shield upfront and her blade ready by her side, the snake noticed her quite quickly even though she tried to lighten her steps, the giant mechanical snake turned it's head towards her and coiled it's body ready to pounce, the snake was a mechanical Python and this mechanical constrictor was one of the serene mountains player killers, due to its high durability allowing it to whittle down the player mechs durability.
Maya lifted her blade and swung it down at the Python, her technique wasn't great and her form even more so since she didn't have any experience in fighting even the boar earlier was an ambush attempt, the Python noticing the lifted arm launched itself towards her and aimed for her head, even though it's not lethal for the players mech to become headless it will still hinder them significantly since the head is where the sensory modules are located.
Maya dispersed her shield and made it materialize in front of her face, the pythons mouth which was wide open was captured by the shield forcing it to stay open, she didn't let this opportunity slip away though and slowly dispersed the shield starting from its mid point and jammed her sword into the snakes mouth.
Maya just as the shield was about to free the Python turned the blade 90 degrees and sliced to its side, she then kept going and going slicing the pythons entire length that spanned for about 90 meters, that fight seemed short but Maya had to brave herself and risk getting constricted, if she was a beat slower then she would've been the one laying on the ground or inside the snakes stomach.
Maya stabbed the ground with her blade and released a sigh of relief, her method was a risky one and she didn't know if she was gonna revive if she died but one things for certain, she did not want to try and find out even after risking it.
Maya after resting for a few minutes began her looting and what she got was 60 credits, 2 exp scraps, and a rare drop a single use parts level module.

Serene Mountains Entrance.
A white mech stood at the entrance, it had a red cape with golden embroidery in the shape of an ascending eastern dragon, the mechs head was also covered with a helmet in the shape of a dragon head, it's armor bulky like ancient warriors of the past but one can see that the armor made it an excellent tank, the mech held a guan dao in its left hand.
"Well aren't you guys a little late, you said you wanted to help but I had to wait for a couple of minutes, where's asura?" GrandMonarchoftheEast
"Sorry brother east sister asura said she wanted to buy something and ended up dragging me all over the place, I left sister alone in a shop" Dollmaster
The voice of a young man reverberated from a mech that had the form of a massive goth Lolita dressed doll, the face was expressionless though as if it was wearing a white mask, the black varriumite used as it's hair released and ominous yet beautiful dark glow, the metals that formed it's attire was colored black and red.
"Every time I see your [Iron Maiden T1] it always makes me wonder why you are in this game but I can't deny the prowess of your mech, remind me again your mech uses an [Assassin M4] as a base right? with the newly improved form and joints" GrandMonarchoftheEast
"Oh I just replaced the base a few days ago and youre so behind on the latest models brother east, the base is now an [Assassin M5], the flaws of the M4 having lower mobility but higher armor than the M3 has been fixed in the M5 allowing it to have... blah blah... blah blah blah" Dollmaster
"I shouldn't have asked, I remember why I don't ask you these things now" GrandMonarchoftheEast
"Hey guys! sorry im a bit late, I saw a very good looking flaming sword and I wanted to buy, fell short on cash though so this mech is gonna give me my money! hahaha" 4FacedAsura
The voice of a mature female echoed from a very muscular six armed mech that had a face of a raging demon with red skin.
"It's alright sister asura, the doll addict got here first and I kinda asked him the forbidden questions" GrandMonarchoftheEast
"You really are sometimes dumb are you? anyway let's go!" 4FacedAsura
"Agreed" GrandMonarchoftheEast
The three entered the mountain valley together while Dollmaster talked away as they walked.
