Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Are Snakes Afraid of ?
“But…”
“Enough, there are no buts. You must speed up here, you have to find the best opportunity, and then quickly leave this place. Rest assured, after I distract it, I will also head out and try to et up with you all as much as possible. Have faith, fortune favors the brave. My ti isn’t up yet.”
Lin Yi’s words were only ant to comfort them, yet whether he could get out himself remained an unknown answer.
He didn’t know if he would be able to make it through this ordeal, but he was clear about one thing: he was the team leader, and when it was ti to sacrifice, he had to make that sacrifice.
He couldn’t hear the advice of the others, and then, he quickly walked past them.
When Lin Yi got closer, he noticed that the giant python rely lowered its head to glance at him, that disdainful look in its eyes, as if it had not taken him seriously until now.
...
At that mont, Lin Yi was still so distance away from the python. He turned around and then started to run a few steps in that direction.
After he had run a few steps, he looked back and saw that the giant python had just twisted its head to watch him, but it was entirely unmoved by his actions.
Was passing by like this really not enough to draw its attention? With this thought, Lin Yi bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and hurled it forcefully at the animal’s body.
This ti, it seed he truly angered it. The giant python opened its gaping maw and, with a leisurely slithering, turned its entire body around.
In doing so, he had indeed successfully attracted its attention.
In that instant, Lin Yi felt that his previous efforts had not been a sacrifice in vain.
So Lin Yi started to run quickly. He noticed that the snake was persistently chasing him from behind.
However, just as Ling’er had ntioned, its movents were quite slow, so if he really sped up, he could leave the snake far behind.
But he worried that once the snake lost its target, it might turn its attention back and return to its original position.
He would take a few steps, then pause.
Just then, he began to feel so pain in his back—the wound that Ling’er had bandaged earlier had split open due to his running.
At this ti, Lin Yi noticed that the python had started to twist its body again, this ti swaying backwards a bit.
After seeing all this, he was incredulous.
Could it be that the python had seen through his tactic? And did it know that he was trying to lure it?
Normally, snakes didn’t have much in the way of conscious thought. How could it be so clever?
Moreover, having lived in the wild all its life with no interaction with humans, it shouldn’t be able to foresee this.
He stopped in curiosity. He noticed that the python indeed had a fearful look in its eyes.
Just now, its entire body had been leaning forward, and from ti to ti, it would open its gaping mouth, flick its tongue, seemingly flaunting so skill it possessed.
But now, at this mont, the snake seed much more subdued, its entire body in a recoiled state.
Could it be that sothing even more frightening appeared behind him?
He quickly looked back, but the area in front of him was peaceful and quiet.
Without any signs of abnormalities, then why this reaction?
With this thought, Lin Yi slowed down and then cautiously took a couple more steps forward.
However, as he moved forward, he noticed that the snake was continuously pushing backward.
What was it afraid of?
In Lin Yi’s heart, he began to carefully ponder this matter.
“Big brother, big brother.”
Just then, Lin Yi suddenly heard a voice calling him from over there.
He quickly turned around and saw that the one running towards him was none other than Hei Lang.
“Hei Lang, what’s happening? Didn’t I tell you to take this opportunity to leave quickly?”
He was sowhat anxious. This was an excellent chance, so why hadn’t they left the place yet?
“Big brother, don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for them to move forward.”
“What do you an ‘arrange for them to move forward’? Are you joking? The hunter himself can hardly walk; are you expecting Ling’er to carry him on her back?”
“No, big brother, don’t worry. I’ve already avoided that place, and I’ve found a cave entrance further ahead. I just temporarily stashed them there. I ca over to fetch you to see if you need any help on your side.”
“A cave entrance? What cave entrance?”
“I’m not sure, it’s just a cave, and at that ti, the hunter said it was relatively safe, so there shouldn’t be any problems with them hiding there for now.”
Upon hearing this, he simply nodded.
“Hei Lang, I’ve discovered sothing very strange now. This snake, it keeps avoiding .”
“What? Avoiding you? Big brother, are you kidding? Are you suggesting that the snake is afraid of you at this ti?”
“I don’t know if it’s afraid of , but it was indeed chasing just now, but at this mont, it is avoiding .”
As he spoke, he turned his head and took another look.
But when he made eye contact with the snake, the snake’s body visibly leaned forward a bit, and then it opened its massive, gaping maw.
“Big brother, this… it’s not going to eat , is it?”
“Strange, it wasn’t like this when I approached earlier. Move back a bit.”
Could it be that he had encountered sothing a mont ago that had led to this misunderstanding?
While speaking, he took two more steps forward, but when he advanced, the snake’s body again leaned backward in retreat.
Imdiately after, its body began to slowly shift a few steps in the underbrush.
“Do you see that?”
Lin Yi turned back, then pointed to the scene that had just occurred, and said to Hei Lang.
“Big brother, what’s going on?”
“I’m not sure either. When you move forward, it wants to attack you, but when I move forward, it retreats. Could it be that it’s afraid of sothing?”
