Python Rebirth on Survival Island Chapter 19

Deep in the jungle, towering trees were everywhere to be found.

Five people, namely Hal, Marlon, Alec, Jonah, and Ella made up the hunting squad.

They had been on this jungle island for a long time.

Although many beasts had evolved on this island and were very fierce, the five individuals weren’t all that simple either. Each of them had undergone rigorous training, and their capabilities in single combat were said to run circles around the ordinary American special forces.

There were almost no beasts in the jungle that could stop them in their tracks.

This was also the main reason why they dared to explore the jungle in the middle of the night…

But at that very moment, these five individuals finally learned what it meant to feel frightened.

“A…Blood Python?”

“That can’t be right! This isn’t a Blood Python. From what I can see, his body is at least five meters long! How can a Blood Python be this big?”

“Oh my god… Do you see that? There are two sharp fangs on each side of its mouth. They look at least 15 centimeters long.”

“Was…was it this snake that was talking to us just now?”

Clatter clatter clatter…

These people were shocked and terrified, and they kept crying out in alarm.

However, as members of the Special Forces, they were very quick to react…

A racket resounded in the jungle.

With quick dexterity, they held their rifles up.

Bang bang bang…

The very next instant, almost without any hesitation, they pulled their triggers and fired wildly in Ye Bei’s direction.

Bang bang bang… It was the sound of gunshots.

A fierce fire accompanied every bullet that was shot out of the barrel.

Whoosh!

Ye Bei was very fast.

Having predicted that these humans would open fire on him, he swooshed down the tree trunk.

Hence, the moment he moved away…

The spot he had just vacated was sprayed with bullets.

Rumble rumble crash…

The huge tree trunk was at least one meter in diameter. However, after the five people emptied their machine guns on it, the tree was riddled with holes, resembling a sieve. Unable to bear its huge weight, the giant tree, which stood ten meters tall, fell directly to the ground with a loud crash. The loud din echoed repeatedly throughout the dark, quiet forest.

However, none of the five members in the hunting squad were in any mood to care about the fallen tree.

The muscles in their faces started to twitch incessantly.

Through the night vision goggles, they lost sight of the giant Blood Python that had been there moments before. Not a single trace of it could be found.

“That looked like a mutated Blood Python. D*mn it, it was so fast! Gather around, everyone! Watch your surroundings. We absolutely can’t give it a chance to get close.”

Jonah coldly commanded, “If it could really kill us, there would have been no need for it to run away! It disappeared because it’s afraid!”

“But… did we really hear the snake talk to us just now?” In the tense atmosphere, Ella suddenly spoke up nervously and reminded everyone of that fact.

Um…

The next moment, the gravity of the situation dawned on the five people once again.

“It was an illusion! It must have been an illusion! Don’t forget that our goal is the Blood Python! We just have to kill it.”

What’s the best defense against fear?

Just don’t think about it… And at the same time, convince yourself that whatever remains unknown is nothing but an illusion.

As Jonah spoke, his eyes kept roving about.

“What a bunch of idiots!” Ye Bei’s eyes were dark.

His huge body was hidden in the foliage. In addition to the fact that snakes were cold-blooded creatures, Ye Bei had also deliberately concealed his breath. These five humans didn’t stand a chance at discovering him.

On the contrary…

When Ye Bei uttered that statement aloud, the silence of the night enabled his words to reach the humans’ ears.

If the voice they had heard previously was just an illusion…

It wouldn’t have repeated itself.

“Did you hear something?” Jonah’s voice was trembling. The voice he heard this time around made him understand what fear really was.

“Who’s talking?”

“Stop trying to scare us! If you’re a human, show yourself now!”

The several other squad members didn’t reply to Jonah but instead yelled into the air.

Slither slither slither…

The hulking body slid across the ground.

The slithering noise was unceasing, but the squad’s shouts drowned it out immediately.

“I heard that you’re all here to slaughter the Blood Python colony. But before you do that, I would like to clarify some things. You’d better give me a good answer, or death will await you!”

Ye Bei approached them quietly.

Creak creak creak…

The moment they heard the sound, the humans raised their assault rifles and once again started firing indiscriminately.

Bang bang!

Two bullets actually hit Ye Bei, but because his snakeskin was too thick, the bullets were merely lodged in his skin and didn’t penetrate into his flesh. However, even so, Ye Bei felt a searing agony in his body.

Ye Bei was very put off by the humans’ decision to fire over a minor disagreement.

After being hit by the bullets, Ye Bei felt his killing intent surge forth.

To think he had still been hesitant about eating the humans!

Since this was the case…it would be an absolute pity to allow this many Evolution Points to go to waste!

…Indeed, they had gone knocking on death’s door all on their own!

He spoke inwardly to himself. The next moment, with a swoosh, Ye Bei’s body burst with an extremely powerful energy. Like a huge shadow, he charged towards one of the humans and opened his mouth wide. His two venomous fangs and blood-red forked tongue were revealed, looking extremely terrifying. That open mouth looked as if it could swallow a human in a single bite.

When Ye Bei charged over…

…the five individuals sensed a predatory intent like never before.

In that short moment, their complexions lost all trace of color…

With their fingers on the triggers, they prepared to open fire on Ye Bei, but it was already too late.

Poof!

Gobble…

Hearing such a noise, the four others abruptly turned their heads around. Then, they personally witnessed their teammate being swallowed alive by a gigantic snake. The whole process took less than a tenth of a second.

Furthermore…

When they looked back, the scene that met their eyes was even more horrifying.

A giant snake, with its lower body coiled, had its upper body standing at a height of more than three meters, and its eyes, filled with murderous intent, were staring fiercely at them!
