Chapter 358 There's no time to explain, get in the car! At this moment, on the mountain.
Undercover agent Knife was on a routine night patrol with two other drug dealers in an area near the river behind the mountain.
He appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly burning with anxiety. He didn't know if Expert Xia was alright, and the drug dealers' hideout was under heavy guard due to the arrival of a big shot.
At this moment, he was like an insect trapped in the center of a spider web.
Just then, a crow with glossy black feathers and exceptionally bright eyes flapped its wings and silently landed on a branch not far in front of them.
Daozi's heart skipped a beat.
He had heard rumors about the legendary animal communication expert Xia Zhining, including that she had an extremely intelligent, even somewhat greedy, crow assistant by her side!
Could it be...?
He forced himself to look away and pretend nothing was wrong.
The opportunity came soon.
The other two patrolling companions were drawn by a strange noise from their flank.
They temporarily turned to look in another direction.
In that split second or two, the crow, or rather, the crow boss, swooped down from the sky with lightning speed.
It precisely tossed a large leaf to the knife's feet.
Without pausing, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the darkness.
Knife's heart pounded wildly. Trying to remain calm, he bent down, pretending to tie his shoelaces, and quickly scooped the leaf into his hand, unfolding it with his back to his companion.
On the leaf, several lines of extremely concise words were carved with a sharp tool, yet they were enough to make his blood rush to his head instantly:
A large snake.
Let me take you away.
Do not struggle.
Trust it.
Daozi's brain went blank for a second.
I recognize every single character.
But the meaning when they're put together... is completely baffling!
The adaptability honed during his long undercover career and his trust in the support from his motherland immediately suppressed all his shock and doubts.
He didn't have time to think. His fingernails quickly and forcefully scraped across the leaf, completely destroying the writing on it. Then he crushed the leaf and let the fragments mix into the mud under his feet.
Just finished doing all this—
"Knife! What are you dawdling about over there?"
Impatient shouts came from not far away.
"Wait! There's some movement in the bushes over here! I'll go check it out!"
Knife immediately responded loudly, his tone carrying just the right amount of vigilance, while quickly walking towards the dense bushes to the side.
He deliberately created a brief opportunity to escape his companions' sight.
He had just parted the bushes—
The next second, every hair on my body stood on end!
By the dim moonlight, he saw a thick python covered with ornate webs, silently rising from the depths of the grass, its cold, vertical pupils locking onto him in the darkness!
"ah--!!!"
A piercing scream instantly tore through the night sky!
That shout was 30% acting and 70% from the heart!
He had never seen such a large live python in his entire life!
