425: C425 Giant Python

C425 Giant Python

I let out a cry, and almost at the same instant it came, I threw myself aside.

I only felt the ground shake, and then there was a cracking sound. A tree that was as thick as a bowl beside me was actually knocked down by its body.

I reacted in time and dodged his attack.

When I fell to the ground, I rolled around again before escaping danger.

The python failed to succeed in its attack and appeared even more furious. It regrouped and tried to pounce on me again.

At this moment, the sound of gunfire rang out.

Bang, bang, bang!

I looked up and saw Officer Yu leading the way. A few people were shooting at the python with pistols in their hands.

Some missed, causing the bark of the bushes and trees nearby to explode. Broken branches and leaves flew everywhere.

Some hit the python's body. The python's body trembled twice, and then blood flowed out of its wounds.

However, the bullet that hit the python did not scare it away. Instead, it provoked an unprecedented anger. Its eyes turned blood red, and it let out a loud "sound," as if it was growling.

Its head, which was the size of a wheel, turned towards the seaguard closest to it. Then, it turned into a bolt of lightning and pounced on it.

For a moment, a chilly wind blew, and the earth shook.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sea police that were attacked kept shooting at it, but it was useless. They were swept into the air by its tail.

The python's body began to shrink. It looked like it was going to break the bones of the sea police.

The sea police were unable to move within the python's body. They let out a miserable cry, and their bones creaked.

Officer Yu and his other companion tried their best to shoot, but it did not work at all.

At the critical moment, I pulled out the throwing knife from my waist and took a look. I locked onto the python's eyes and instantly shot the throwing knife out.

The throwing knife drew a golden arc in the air, shuttling between the trees.

Immediately after, the python's entire body shook violently, and its tail involuntarily let go of the maritime police.

The maritime police fell from the sky. Fortunately, they were not too far from the ground, and below them were dense vegetation.

Even so, he still spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, letting out a miserable groan.

Looking at the giant python again, a golden medicinal throwing knife was already inserted into its right eye, fresh blood flowing out.

This slash of mine has caused a fatal injury to the python. The python is clearly afraid, and it immediately turns around and runs away.

Its body rolled in the huge shrubbery, and in a short while, it disappeared without a trace.

After it escaped, Officer Yu's other companion seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He sat on the ground with an ashen face and cold sweat all over his forehead. He was panting heavily.

Officer Yu rushed forward at once and carefully helped his injured companion sit up. He asked, "Are you okay?"

The other party wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and said in pain, "It seems like a broken rib."

Officer Yu frowned and sighed. He said, "Little Wang, send Little Xue back to the ship for treatment. Zhong Hao and I will continue to search for traces of them."

Lil' Wang nodded and said he knew.

"Be careful on the way. Also, tell the other rescue ship what you found."

"Yes, I will tell them."

After resting for a while, Little Wang helped the injured Little Xue walk away step by step.

Officer Yu then said to me, "Zhong Hao, it's all thanks to you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid Little Xue would have died."

"We're just helping each other. There's no need to be so polite. If it wasn't for you guys, I would have died in the snake's stomach."

I was a little worried and said, "I didn't expect to be on this island. I wonder how Yiyao and the others are going to deal with such a terrifying beast."

"Don't worry. Since they saw signs of burning things, they must have adapted to the environment here and live peacefully. Don't worry too much."

"Yes."

Then Officer Yu and I stood up and continued on our journey to find Chen Yiyao.

Along the way, we encountered a huge black bear other than a huge beast like the python. However, we avoided it carefully and there was no conflict.

Otherwise, we really might not be able to survive.

As for those strange birds, monkeys, raccoons and the like, there was no need to consider them.

We walked for a few hours and saw that a star had appeared in the sky. It seemed like the sun was about to rise.

We were so tired that we were out of breath. We were almost unable to walk.

Of course, compared to Officer Yu, I am much better.

Just as we were about to rest, I saw a small wooden house built on a tree in the forest.

It was all made of wood and straw. It was between the trunk of a towering tree. It looked very interesting.

I was extremely excited. I shone my flashlight over and shouted, "Is anyone there?"

Officer Yu and I looked at each other. We could not hide the joy in our hearts. We shouted, "We are here to save you."

There was still no movement in the wooden house.

It was just that there was a cry of birds in the forest.

I no longer hesitated and quickly walked towards the big tree.

Officer Yu followed closely behind.

When I arrived in front of the big tree, I looked around. The wooden house was about three meters away from the ground. Since there was a tree trunk on the tree, it was not difficult to climb up.

I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to climb the mountain.

Officer Yu reminded, "Be careful."

I was very excited and nervous at the same time.

I was happy to find the humans who lived here. I was nervous because they might not be Chen Yiyao and Le Mengqian.

I spent a lot of effort and finally climbed up the big tree, and the wooden house was right in front of me.

It was very small, only a dozen square meters.2

Under such a harsh environment, it was very normal for a dozen people to live in this small wooden house.

However, what was suspicious was that when Officer Yu and I shouted, there was no response.

Could it be that they were all asleep?

The door of the wooden house was blocked by a curtain made of vines and straw.

I carefully lifted the curtain and shone my flashlight inside.

A black thing came out. It was huge and the size of a foot. I was shocked and almost fell off the tree.

After I tried to avoid it, the black thing fell to the ground. It was a fat black mouse.

The black mouse did not stop after landing on the ground. It crawled into the bushes and disappeared.

Officer Yu and I were both surprised. Why was there a mouse in the wooden house?

Could it be that they treated rats as food?

Officer Yu looked up from under the tree and asked, "Is there anyone inside?"

My flashlight shone into the wooden house. There were two stone benches, a table made of wood, a cup made of bamboo, and simple tools.

However, there was no sign of anyone.

I was dumbfounded. Why was there no one?

Could it be that they went to look for food before dawn?

My face darkened, and I shook my head slightly at Officer Yu.

Officer Yu was also very surprised and asked, "Why is there no one? Could it be that they went to look for food?"

I climbed down from under the tree and said, "It doesn't seem like there are many people living in the house. Just the stone bench and the wooden table occupy some places. Two or three people living in it is the maximum."

Officer Yu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Let's go to the nearby area first and search. Maybe we can find them."
