The second team member also died at the hands of the giant python!
Dagoli looked at the snake ball on the ground with some reluctance, but finally gritted his teeth, turned around and ran!
Life is more important than treasure!
The five-man team they brought suffered two casualties from a single giant python!
That enormous size was definitely not something that Dagoli's machete could handle!
It's laughable that they thought they had made ample preparations before coming here, but all they had was a finely crafted pistol that would jam!
Getting it inside a giant python would probably be no different than getting a mosquito bite.
"Boss! Wait for me!"
One team member immediately followed, but another team member looked at the snake group with greedy eyes, muttering to himself.
"Just a little bit more...just a little bit more!"
"They're mine! They're all mine!"
He didn't even bother using a knife anymore and just tore it apart with his bare hands!
Something's not right...
King Solomon's treasure is tempting, but it is ultimately just a legend. Moreover, the serpent's shell has not yet been opened, and we have no idea what is inside!
Even if it's just stone inside, it's not impossible!
Therefore, there's no reason why something like this could be so attractive as to make these people risk their lives.
"They were infected with some kind of contamination, which seemed to be contagious; when one person died, it would contaminate those around them..."
This snake-like mass is the source of the pollution!
Looking at the giant python, Jiang Ran could kill it if he really wanted to, but it wouldn't make any sense.
"Come on, follow Dagorli!"
"Treasure! Treasure!"
The giant python swallowed the third team member whole!
The more he ran, the more unwilling Dagoli became. He wondered if he could get the treasure if he stayed.
But he dared not look back, for fear that if he was too slow, he would be devoured by the snake!
"Phew~"
Dagoli had no idea how long he had been running, and he didn't even know which direction he was running in!
Dagoli only turned around when he could no longer hear the python's voice.
There was no sign of the snakes anymore. The only surviving team member caught up, panting, followed by Jiang Ran and his two companions.
The other three, as expected, did not follow...
Is he dead, or has he gained the power of the devil?
Although they were teammates, at this moment, Dagoly wished he were the former.
"Boss... Whew—you run so fast, I can't take it anymore!"
"Now that we're safe, I need to rest!"
As he spoke, the team member lay down on the ground in a "spread-eagle" position.
Dagoli also found a rock to sit down and rest, but his gaze toward Jiang Ran and the other two was full of suspicion.
Three innocent people caught up in this?
When Dagoli was running for his life, he used all his strength and went at top speed!
Even trained team members were nearly exhausted trying to keep up with him.
Jiang Ran, an ordinary person, followed closely behind them without even breaking a sweat.
It's one thing for him, but why can even those two little girls keep up?
This is unscientific, extremely unscientific!
Dagoli recalled that when the giant python first appeared, the three little guys showed no fear on their faces.
Moreover, they encountered a large number of snakes along the way, which would occasionally fall on the three of them, but they simply swatted them off.
"Who exactly are you people?"
Dagoli stared at the three of them with a hostile expression.
The underling on the ground also sat up at this moment. After Dagoli's reminder, he also realized that something was wrong!
“Us?” Jiang Ran smiled, then shrugged. “As you can see, we are just ordinary people who were innocently dragged into this.”
Jiang Ran hadn't planned to come to this forest in the first place, and the illusion that automatically appeared in the room left him quite helpless.
"Ordinary people?"
Ordinary people could easily catch up with him, a battle-hardened adventurer, so how could he remain unfazed when faced with such a monster?
When did ordinary people start having such high expectations?
"I don't really like unexpected situations..."
Dagoli stood up, drew his machete, and looked at Jiang Ran with a gloomy expression.
"If you can tell the truth, we can still cooperate. If you continue to lie, you're disrespecting me!"
"What do you want to hear? For example, are we adventurers who came here fully prepared?"
"Unfortunately, to be honest, we don't want any of King Solomon's treasure, nor do we want to be here."
To Dagoly, this sounded like an extremely perfunctory lie!
"It seems you're not going to give me, Dagor, any face..."
Suddenly, Dagoli stepped forward and slashed at Jiang Ran's shoulder with his sword!
"If you're unwilling to cooperate with me, then die!"
He will surely be the one to obtain King Solomon's treasure in the end!
Even if he can't have it, no one else can!
Jiang Ran grabbed Dagoli's shoulder with one hand, punched his machete away, and at the same time snatched his pistol!
In less than two seconds, before Dagoli could even react, he had been subdued by Jiang Ran!
"Big brother!"
The henchman immediately scrambled to his feet, ran behind Alice, and held a knife to her neck!
"Put down my brother! Or I'll kill your sister!"
Jiang Ran looked at him as if he were an idiot.
I've only ever heard of people being taken hostage to threaten Superman, never of Superman being taken hostage!
"Don't touch me!"
Alice was clearly annoyed. She reached out and snatched the knife, crushing it into pieces with her bare hands!
Holy crap!
The silk thread rose, and the little brother was suspended from the tree, looking down at the ground in terror!
"Monster! You're a monster!"
"No... Could it be that you have already obtained demonic power?!"
Such methods can only be explained by demonic power, right?
Alice snorted: "Don't compare me to such lowly creatures as demons!"
"Inferior beings..." These words made the two of them feel somewhat embarrassed, but they couldn't refute them.
"I think you should be more clear-headed."
Jiang Ran pressed Dagoli to the ground and reminded him of this.
When he first met Dagoli, he was willing to take in Jiang Ran and the other two instead of letting them fend for themselves, and he did not use them as cannon fodder along the way.
Dagoli's subsequent actions were clearly quite different from his previous behavior.
"Wake up?"
Dagoli felt a little dizzy. Thinking carefully, he wondered what he had been doing all this way.
While fleeing, he was still thinking about the treasure in the snake mass, and after noticing Jiang Ran's strange behavior, he attacked without testing him first!
When did he become so reckless?
"No...it's that snake coil?"
"Was my thinking unconsciously influenced?"
"Once you're a little more normal, we can talk about what to do next."
