It didn't take long for the group to find the anacondas. While they were green and could use the surroundings to camouflage themselves, they were too big to approach stealthily. The anacondas were like fifteen meters long, and they were as thick as a human being, so they probably could shallow one up given the change. However, as he usually does in his first fights, Jake stops the monsters with Mana Blades. The attacks destroyed the grass around them and revealed the monsters. Karina quickly approached, but Louise hit the snakes with Fireballs before that.
It was the perfect moment to attack them, and so Karina tried it. With the help of Lana's buffs, she was even more mortal, but before she could do anything, the trembling snake fired some Poisonous Arrows toward her. With her insane speed, Karina reacted on time to dodge the attack, but she still was extremely surprised.
"What… how?" Karina muttered.
The monster was trembling in pain due to the burns but still managed to fire Poisonous Arrows… the same thing happened to Jake, but he didn't stop the attack since he blocked the projectiles with his shield. When he got close enough, the target swung its tail toward his shield, and Jake's advance came to a halt. Such was the power of their tail strike…
"Not bad, snaky," Jake smirked. "Let's see you try again."
Jake charged again, and the beast insisted on the tail strike. However, Jake blocked it with the pointy end of his shield. The beast trembled uncontrollably since something pierced its body so deeply. Jake approached to finish the monster with his longsword, but the Poisonous Arrows came again. At that point in time, there was no mistake… the beasts could fire those automatically when they felt the danger to their lives.
In the end, Jake blocked some of the attacks with his shield, but he had to let some of them hit him so that he could attack the monster's head with his sword and shield. The poison made him feel weakened, but at least he killed the creature.

"Don't heal me yet. Only wait until the poison makes my health drop to twenty-five percent," Jake said.
"Are you a masochist?" Lana frowned.
"I want to level up Poison Resistance, so that is necessary," Jake replied.
In the end, Karina didn't have the chance to attack, not even by using the effects of her daggers that increased her reach. She was the type who focused on dodging, after all. Still, at least she gave Louise the chance to attack with Fireballs. The range of the monsters wasn't that great, so Jake could finish the remaining two with Flames of Wrath, but that would be too easy. Jake dashed toward the two, but then he suddenly changed his mind, his whole body was burning like crazy, and he was sweating tons… not to mention his health was decreasing by twenty points per second, and he only got hit by two Poisonous Arrows.
"Oh, fuck…" Jake muttered. "Let's bully them a little."
After saying that, Jake bombards the remaining monsters with Mana Blades. While he had to use half of his mana, he got satisfied with the result since he killed the monsters that made him feel like shit.

Much to Jake's surprise, only two attacks made him lose half of his health. If he gets hit by four…, he will die in ten seconds. While that was a scary thought, it made Jake smirk. That kind of challenge was really exciting.
"You look like shit, but you also look to be in a good mood," Lana said and then began to heal him. "Only someone insane would laugh in front of death."
"I guess I am insane, then," Jake shrugged.
At that point in time, none of them would be surprised by whatever Jake says or does. Still, his willingness to level up some skills without caring about their cost on his body was really abnormal, to say the least.
Congratulations! The skill Poison Resistance has leveled up..
Nevertheless, Jake's plan was working, but he could only do that thanks to Lana's presence. Thanks to the monster's automatic attacks, not even Lesser Vampirism would help him in healing fast. In any case, Jake didn't forget about the fact that the snake's poison could be used and even sold. Their hide probably could be used to offer some protection against poison, but blocking it with Jake's shield was more than enough, but perhaps against the boss…
"Where are you planning to put the poison?" Lana asked. "Rather than that, you do know that I can coat your weapon with poison, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't take away your reason for living," Jake said. "As the brat mentioned, this can be sold."
"… Can you please stop calling me?" Karina said while forcing a smile to hide her anger.
"All right, kiddo," Jake said.
"That is not better," Karina said.

"Can't you use a person's name?" Karina asked.
"Don't mind him, Karina," Lana said. "You will only make his day by falling for his taunts."
After opening the head of the monster and finding the organ that produced the poison used when the monster bites their targets, Jake looks for a tree and then is knocked down with his Flames of Wrath. After that, he divided it into several pieces that were the size of two-liter bottles. Also, with his flames, he carved the wood and a specie of tall cups. He put all the poison he could take from the organ in there.
"What the hell…" Lana muttered in shock.
"I never thought those flames could be used to carve things with… but I feel a bit troubled in seeing you're knocking down a tree for a reason like that," Louise said.
