Su Huaiyue turned around with a hint of impatience between her eyebrows.
"I didn't say we'd find water."
She shrugged and said calmly but firmly, "But we have to try walking. We can't just stand there and wait for the water to come."
Wang Laosan was so angry that his face turned blue. Just as he was about to retort, his hand was held down by someone.
The officer named Xiao Li interrupted to try to appease the crowd, "Wang Laosan, stop talking. What we need now is to conserve our energy so we can find water."
Another officer also tried to smooth things over: "Yeah, stop fussing and save your energy."
Wang Laosan snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else in the end. He just glared at Su Huaiyue fiercely.
As the atmosphere eased slightly, several people continued to move forward with tired steps.
Suddenly, Su Huaiyue seemed to sense something strange, and felt that the ground under his feet seemed to have a hint of coldness.
He quickly raised his head, only to find something moving slightly in the dry grass beside him. Almost at the same time, a terrifying scream broke the silence.
"ah--!"
It was Xiao Li who made the sound. He was being tightly entangled by a huge python, and the force of its limbs seemed to be about to crush him completely.
Xiao Li was hung upside down by the python and his face soon turned red.
"Madam Wei, save me, save me quickly!"
In a panic, the rest of the people retreated to a slightly safer place a few meters away.
Only then did Su Huaiyue dare to look up and forward.
There were countless golden spots on the black python's body. It was huge, with part of its body hidden in the dead grass.
The python's body was thick and powerful, and it kept tightening around Xiao Li.
This scene deeply stimulated Su Huaiyue's brain. Even though he was fearless, he couldn't help but retreat backwards at this moment.
The big black python has always been an indelible horror memory in his memory.
In modern times, she encountered such a huge python when she went on an outing in the wild with her friends.
At that time, they were walking and talking with laughter, but a rustling sound came from the grass village not far away. A huge python slid out from the grass, its body faintly shiny, and its cold eyes stared at her.
The only time Su Huaiyue was hospitalized was because she was bitten by this python.
She still remembers it vividly to this day, and the fear deep in her heart has been awakened. At this moment, Su Huaiyue simply cannot bear to look at such a scene.
Xiao Li's face had turned red from being strangled by the huge python.
"Save me...Save me" the voice gradually became weak.
To save, or not to save...
Su Huaiyue grabbed her hair tightly, and the fear in her heart made her keep backing away.
However, Xiao Li's crying aroused a trace of pity in her heart.
Another officer anxiously went around to the other side, picked up a dead tree branch, and hit the snake with it.
"Let him go." He shouted at the python while beating it.
However, the python was stimulated and began to twist its body rapidly, but still showed no sign of letting the person go.
Those dark green eyes were narrowed into a vertical line, and everyone who saw them could not help but feel numb all over.
Wang Laosan had already been hiding with his butt sticking up ten meters away, terrified.
Finally, the fear in her heart prevailed. Su Huaiyue prayed secretly in her heart that good luck would come to Xiao Li, while taking small steps back.
He is not a saint, he also has human emotions and desires, and in times of crisis he can only protect himself.
This is how Su Huayue prepared herself mentally.
The next second, the cold, mechanical voice of the system sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Friendly reminder, if you save someone, your reward will be doubled.]
Su Huaiyue shook her head, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "I can't do it, I can't save her."
The steps under my feet kept moving backwards.
You can't sacrifice your own life to save others.
Soon, the system voice sounded again.
[Ding! If you don't help, the system will go dormant for 24 hours!]
When Su Huaiyue heard these words in her mind, she was so angry that she wanted to curse.
What kind of rotten system is this? Is it really forcing him to be a saint?
If the system is dormant for 24 hours, he will not be able to take anything out of it for 24 hours.
Including the spiritual spring water and the hard-earned food.
Su Huaiyue closed her eyes and continued to mentally prepare herself.
"Okay, okay, I'll save you, okay?"
If you want to save people, you can't confront the python head-on.
Her mind raced for solutions.
Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, which was to attack the python's anus.
Su Huaiyue originally wanted to take the branch and move forward.
Turning around, he caught a glimpse of Wang Laosan, who was still hiding in the back. Su Huaiyue stepped forward and kicked him hard, saying anxiously, "Wang Laosan, quickly use a branch to poke the hole in his tail."
Wang Laosan staggered after being kicked, and shook his head without hesitation, a panicked look on his face, and his voice trembled as he spoke: "Don't count on me, I won't go and die."
At this moment, he didn't care whether Lord Li gave orders or not. His life was gone, so why was he still thinking about those things?
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
He was the only one who could save people right now. Finally, Shu Huaiyue gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and walked forward quickly.
The python seemed to have sensed something and stared at Su Huaiyue.
The snake's body began to tighten slowly. Xiao Li, who was entangled, was no longer able to struggle. His face was pale and he was about to die.
Su Huaiyue did not dare to hesitate. For the glimmer of hope that rose in her heart for the system reward, she tried hard to overcome the fear in her heart.
He picked up the small wooden stick next to him and stabbed it hard into the snake's anus.
The python suddenly felt severe pain and began to swing its tail wildly, causing the dead tree not far away to rustle.
The python's body swung wildly, and Su Huaiyue was thrown out hard, flying several meters away and falling heavily to the ground. At the same time, the python finally loosened its grip on Xiao Li because it was not paying attention to the front.
Xiao Li lay on the ground, gasping for breath. He felt a little scared and secretly thankful that he had saved his life.
Su Huaiyue lay on the ground in a miserable state. The pain all over his body made him feel like his bones were about to fall apart.
“It’s really terrible.”
Fortunately, he just fell and he managed to stand up.
The pain in several places on her body made her grimace. It turned out that people were so fragile that they could lose half their life if they fell.
Seeing that Xiao Li not far away was safe and sound, I felt relieved.
However, the python kept twisting around him.
Su Huaiyue raised her voice and shouted, "Get up and run!"
Xiao Li, who was still feeling lucky for having survived the disaster, heard the shout, gathered his strength and ran away.
Soon, the system prompt sound came again in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Rescue successful. System rewards: 10 flashlights and 100 lemons.]
The reward was indeed doubled, Su Huaiyue smiled helplessly.
