His shout nearly made my hair stand on end. Although I couldn't tell exactly how big the snake was behind me, seeing the terror in his eyes, I knew that this snake must be even more terrifying than I had imagined.
I already knew that this deserted island was teeming with unknown wild beasts, and even something with white fur and no name could appear, so it was not surprising that two snakes appeared.
In addition, we had already experienced attacks from these snakes before, so after my initial panic, I quickly calmed down.
I took a deep breath and glanced at the spot on the ground outside my eyes.
The snake's attack speed is about three to five seconds, which means I have to jump off this top within this short period of time, and I have to make sure that my location is completely safe. Otherwise, I might end up being bitten to death by a venomous snake today.
On this deserted island, we have no medical facilities, and we don't know how to treat ourselves if we are bitten by a snake.
So right now, I'm practically hanging by a thread.
My male colleague looked at me with a face full of fear. Even in the dim firelight, I could see the sweat streaming down his face. He was gripping the tree trunk he was on tightly, not daring to move an inch.
I took a deep breath, silently counted 1, 2, 3 in my mind, then gritted my teeth and kicked the tree branch with my hind leg, landing directly on the ground. I then rolled quickly and rushed over to the campfire we had built earlier.
I quickly spun the nearly burned tree trunk around and then hurled it at the tree.
But the instant I threw the fire stick up, the firelight illuminating the tree trunk made me almost stop breathing, because I discovered that what was lying on the tree trunk was a large python with its head shaped like an inverted triangle.
No wonder my male colleague was so terrified just now. This isn't just a small snake, it's practically a spirit!
It was a size bigger than the snake we found on the mountaintop before.
What frightens me the most is his inverted triangular head.
Although I don't know much about snakes, I know that a snake with such a strange shape must be a highly venomous one.
At this moment, the two of us are in the middle of nowhere, with no village in front and no shop behind, and no support whatsoever.
I only have a revolver and a few bullets. If I want to defeat this giant snake, there is absolutely no hope.
But in this situation, if I give up now, we'll both be swallowed by this snake and made into snacks.
I dared not move, because the snake's head had slowly shrunk down, seemingly startled by my jumping down.
If I made the slightest reaction at that moment, he would probably pounce on me and devour me whole.
I took a deep breath and didn't dare to move. After a while, I glanced at my male colleague out of the corner of my eye.
I moved my lips, wanting to tell him not to jump down, but he must have been too terrified at the moment, so almost the instant he saw me land on the ground, he also quickly fell from the tree.
He quickly ran to my side, looking extremely panicked. I was also getting a headache from his anger, but now was not the time to dwell on that.
I must ensure his safety, so our top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible.
Because I don't know if there's only this one snake in this place or if there are others.
"Don't be afraid, let's walk back together!"
As I spoke, I grabbed the male colleague's hand, and he gripped my hand tightly, looking terrified. We both stumbled backward.
I gripped the gun tightly in my hand, and had him grab the fire stick on the ground, so that we could both have enough vision and light to see our surroundings clearly no matter where we moved.
With each step we took back, the giant python moved closer to us, seemingly quite interested in us and not in a hurry to attack. This gave us more time to escape.
I dared not slack off in the slightest, and walked carefully behind, but the problem was that we couldn't get out of this forest at all.
If we continue to linger here, I don't know when this snake will realize we're not interesting enough and just rush up and bite us to death, swallowing us whole.
So we need to find a way out as soon as possible.
If they could make contact with Wang Ping and his group, at least Wang Ping and his men would still have guns. No matter how powerful this python was, it would be afraid in the face of a hail of bullets.
If he tries to escape, then our crisis is over.
But after we backed up for a long time, we still couldn't find our way back. I started to panic, and I was covered in cold sweat. Just then, my male colleague behind me suddenly screamed.
The python, which had been standing in front of us and constantly poking its head at us, paused for a moment, then suddenly opened its huge mouth and lunged straight at us.
I was so scared that I froze completely in that instant, and at that moment, the male colleague behind me seemed to go crazy and quickly grabbed me, trying to run backward.
I couldn't even hold him back. As he moved, the python quickly stretched its head out, passed me, and attacked my male colleague.
I suddenly remembered that when I was little, my father once told me that pythons have poor eyesight, perhaps because their vision is too weak. They can rarely spot things that are not moving.
So just now, we were moving too slowly, and we couldn't attract the python's attention at all. Now, the man's frantic running and howling is definitely a very attractive thing for the python.
That's why the python quickly attacked this colleague.
In that case, this colleague is doomed!
I brought them out, so I have to ensure their safety. Although I'm terrified of this python, if I just leave them like this, there's absolutely no way to save my male colleague!
I gritted my teeth, quickly hid behind a tree for cover, raised my gun, and fired directly at the python's writhing body.
We've had some contact with pythons before, so I know that its belly is the softest part.
I fired two shots, both hitting the python's belly, and immediately a foul, bloody smell filled the air.
