Looking at she snake that was almost upon him max was not reconciled at and decided to
fight rather than wait and become snake food
"Is this the end? it this how it all ends? am not convinced at!!! wasting so many years to unveil the secrets concerning the pendant all to come and die here am not convinced,why should I die? even if I die am taking this bastard with me" max gritted his teeth and felt a ferocity he has never before with his blood boiling he was determined to fight to the bitter end he ignored his injuries and got back on his feet despite the heart wrenching pain he felt.
"Mom your son might have to leave before you my only regret is not giving you and theresa the good life you deserve."
Max took the pistol he had bought and took aim at the snake's eyes again, it seemed that the snake had deemed that he was not a threat again and was taking it's time as it slithered towards him watching him like he was food which although true pissed him off.
He knew he only had one chance and if he messed up the bastard would become cautious again and at that time he would truely be dead.
At that moment of life and death unleashed all his potential at once, he took aim at the only eye the python had left and it felt like he had entered a special state he felt that time had become slower around him and that his perception had increased immensely he held his breath and fired two shots continuously.
The snake didn't have time to react before it got blinded the first shot and the next shot lodged in its brain.
The python became crazy and started to trash around more violently destroying some trees in it's finall death throes and in the process max got swept off his feet from it's tail and swept far away from the python.
Max felt a headache after he left that state limped to a tree and sat down whiles having his back against it, he could feel his vision became more blurry before finally losing consciousness.The snake trashed around for a while before dying occasionally twitching a bit.
Looking around the area around them looked like a war zone max lay there with a giant snake laying not far away from him.Gradually some energy left the snake's body and was absorbed by the pendant around his neck which started to glow the more energy it absorbed,soon the glow eventually covered his body and his wounds started to heal at an astonishing rate visible to the naked especially the discoloration around his ribs.
Max eventually woke up and the pain hit him he felt terrible all over,he looked around and saw the snake lying some distance away from him he panicked at first but calmed down when he realized that it was truely dead.
He then began to examine himself, his clothes were destroyed and only a few strips were on him and his ribs no longer hurt the small cuts all over his body to were healed and his skin was back to how it looked before the fight.
Fact is he even felt stronger than before and he sensed an increase in strength like his body has broken some form of barrier.
But this did not make his any happier he came to this planet to find an opportunity to change his life but almost died on his first day here.
That snake was definetly not normal and was ridiculously strong even in its injured state if they were more of these creatures in this forest no even in the entire planet then wouldn't he be seeking death here instead of an opportunity?.
If not for that shot he took at the end he would have died here.
'Never mind looks like the pendant changed homes' after the battle the pendant no longer was around his neck but rather he felt a new space in his mind and he could feel the pendant residing there,after the fight he felt that he now really had complete control over the treasure.
'Let's take a look at my stats I feel stronger something is definitely wrong'.

Taking a look at his screen in front of him max realized that a lot of things had changed, with the new mind power he understood that it came as a result of the state he experienced before he killed the python.
That experience was truely wonderful, to have time slow down for you a power like that if utilized well could take out an enemy before they knew what hit them.
He also could see that his stats had increased he got information from the pendant that it was one of it's new abilities,it could extract the life force of the python and ingest it into him.
When max learnt of this ability he was so
shocked that he didn't know what to think because this was something like a taboo power and in the hands of a psychopath could lead to mass destruction.
But he was also happy because he had reaped benefits from this fight.But what he was truely happy about was the new skill he had gotten and the chance to bring people this planet.The early fight had made him realize that he was alone in this new land and judging from the previous situation he needed a lot of help and besides if he truely reaped benefits here sooner or later people were bound to find out on the blue planet he just had to thread carefully.
After he finished checking his stats max realized that it was almost dark so he got up and picked up the weapons he had dropped during the fight including the shotgun that had been blown far away he also picked up his backpack and stored the python in the increased treasure space, it would be a waste to leave it here after going through all that trouble to kill it.
Max continued heading north for some distance and set up camp in the forest,he felt hungry so he ate some biscuits with some soft drinks he kept the reloaded shotgun near him while trying to get some sleep.Max felt cold but didn't dare to start a fire,well not after fighting that python since there was one there might be more out there.Soon he dozed off and fell asleep.
The next day max had a simple breakfast packed up and continued heading north this time with much haste.Due to his increased perception he felt a lot of powerful aura's in the forest and avoided them on time and gradually the as he moved foward he saw less and less trees.
"tygjuijgghk" as max got closer he head shouts and something like a different language being spoken.
He proceeded with caution and hid behind a tree to observe.
In front of him was an ongoing battle between two groups of people.
One group consisted of about 70 men some wearing leather armor carrying a bunch of weapons including swords,spears and bows they looked ferocious and were wildly attacking the second group of about 200 but most of them were women and children they had wagons being pulled by horses a few men about 17 looked like real fighters they each had full sets of armor including helmets and leather armor,they also carried swords and fought bravely with the ferocious men the other men amongst the group did not look like soldiers but the picked up sticks and whatever they could get their hands and fought back trying to protect the women and children.
At first max thought the group that looked like refuges were with the 17 soldiers and they were meant to protect them but as he observed he realized that they were rather protection a carriage behind them.
This carriage looked a bit expensive and had an emblem of two spears crossed together on it.
He could see people in the carriage and they looked like they were in a panick.
'Aryar could you help me out I can't understand what thay are saying' max asked aryar instead of going down to help.
