Chapter 227: Giant Python Attack [Third Release]
"Team leader, can I ask why you chose me?"
Xiao Hero looked at Chu Ge and asked in a low voice.
In the team, he felt the closest to Chu Ge, so he was somewhat hurt.
Chu Ge answered helplessly, "You have Survival Talent, so I thought you could better face the punishment."
He glared at the other team members, and said, "Do none of you think about the punishment?"
Everyone exchanged embarrassed looks.
Upon hearing that, Xiao Hero instantly felt a little better.
So it was because I'm strong that he chose me.
"Arno has stronger defensive power, shouldn't he have been chosen instead?" Ye Wukong asked in confusion.
Gu Tianjiao replied, "Although Arno has the strongest defense, we don't know what the punishment will be. What if it involves poison or fire?"
Ye Wukong suddenly understood.
Xiao Poor Thing looked up to Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao with admiration, thinking that this was the way smart people thought!
Nangong looked at Arno and asked, "Buzzcut Brother, are you okay?"
Arno had regained some strength and replied weakly, "I'm okay… just let me lie down for a while, and I can stand up…"
It seemed that the thunderbolt wasn't lethal, just very painful.
Gu Tianjiao sighed, "It looks like the later questions will all deduct points from some people. The Survival Arena is attacking our morale."
She really wanted to know who was controlling the Survival Arena.
The mere thought sent shivers down her spine.
Chu Ge lay next to Arno, smelling the charred scent, and remained silent.
This examination rule was clearly designed to undermine the Ghost Team's gains.
After all, in Ghost Hunting Mode, a ghost could easily earn Survival Points just by catching up with the enemy.
Chu Ge, thinking about the three days ahead, felt a bit worried.
What if, in the end, all our efforts came to nothing?
Around eight in the morning, Arno finally regained his strength and stood up.
He ran in the woods because his limbs were a bit numb.
After about half an hour of movement, Chu Ge began to lead the team away.
They couldn't stay in the same place indefinitely; the Survivors would track the scent, and staying too long would lead to discovery.
After they left the forest, Xiao Hero continued to fly up and guide the way.
"Survival Team 'Alliga' has been wiped out by Survival Team 'Control Fate'!"
Hearing this announcement, Chu Ge and the others didn't have much reaction.
Ye Wukong and Nangong joked for a bit, then quickly dismissed it from their minds.
They moved on for another two hours.
"Survival Team 'Us in the Night' has wiped out Survival Team 'Alliga'!"
Tsk tsk.
Poor thing, they didn't bask in their glory for long before biting the dust.
Chu Ge shook his head and chuckled, mourning for 'Alliga' in silence.
By noon, the team stopped on a hill. The terrain ahead looked like a layer cake, tiers of yellow earth stacked upon one another, a grand and imposing sight.
On the opposite slope, a Giant Python rolled down.
The expressions of Chu Ge and his team became odd.
They simply watched from afar as the Giant Python rolled down the hill in a rather comical fashion.
Apart from that python, they didn't see any other wildlife.
"Is it trying to be funny?"
Nangong muttered as the python rolled down from the nearly hundred-meter-high slope to the ground and then raised its head, flicking its tongue in all directions.
Ye Wukong's eyes grew wide as he exclaimed, "Isn't that the guy? Did it really use an Assassination Scroll on me?"
Everyone suddenly remembered that back in Survival City, Ye Wukong had offended a Giant Python.
Wasn't that the same Giant Python at the bottom of that hill?
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes to look, noting it was a Reticulated Python, about seven to eight meters long, with a body as thick as an adult's waist.
Xiao Hero flew back and said to Chu Ge, "There are indeed no other Survivors nearby, but we can't be sure if it's a member of the Ghost Team."
The Giant Python's behavior was peculiar, showing no signs of injury or panic.
It just seemed to be an idiot, very confused over there.
"Let's see, at this distance, could it possibly be faster than us?" Chu Ge whispered.
The Giant Python dared to chase after his team members, so naturally, he wouldn't let it go.
It's just that they weren't part of the Ghost Team yet, so they had to endure it.
"Damn it, I'm going to skewer it on my spear and roast it over a fire to eat!"
Ye Wukong cursed as he held a Wooden Spear in his hand, and he had three more Wooden Spears tied to his back with wooden ropes in case the one in his hand was lost.
Gu Tianjiao suggested he make a Wooden Bow, but he thought it had too little killing power and that the spear felt more comfortable to use.
Just then, the Giant Python suddenly spotted them and twisted its body to charge directly at them, moving very fast and dragging an S-shaped shallow trench behind it.
"Run!"
When Chu Ge saw the Giant Python's reaction, he knew that guy was a member of the Ghost Team!
They immediately turned and ran.
As Ye Wukong fled, he cursed, "Shameless snake! Chase after me! If you catch me, I'll feed you farts!"
The Giant Python, in pursuit, flew into a rage at these words.
"Black Monkey! You're dead! Not even the Great Luo God can save you!"
The Giant Python cursed, its speed so exaggerated that it could cover a hundred meters in less than four seconds, even in this undulating yellow earth mountainous terrain.
Chu Ge controlled his Speed, and looking back, saw the Giant Python had already climbed the hillside, less than two hundred meters from them.
So fast!
"Ye Wukong, run faster! That Giant Python wants to eat you!"
Chu Ge warned, and upon hearing this, Ye Wukong looked back, wishing he hadn't, as the sight nearly scared him to death.
Benefitting from the downhill advantage, the Giant Python crawled even faster.
Members of the Suicide Group had no choice but to speed up.
The distance between Ye Wukong and the Giant Python quickly narrowed.
Panicked, he began to run on all fours.
Nangong shouted, "Monkey, looks like you're done for!"
"Impossible!"
Ye Wukong roared in anger, he was strong now, how could he possibly die!
Chu Ge and the others couldn't help him, they could only flee, which made him very anxious.
Fifty meters.
Forty meters.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
Ye Wukong could already hear the hissing sound coming from behind him.
Damn it!
All or nothing!
Ye Wukong turned around, ready to throw his Wooden Spear.
But as he turned his head, he was greeted by the Giant Python's gaping maw, which clamped over his head, and the snake's body quickly coiled around him.
Xiao Poor Thing was frightened, letting out an instinctive scream.
Chu Ge looked back, his gaze turning ice-cold in an instant.
"Let's go, forget about him, we'll avenge him later. That Giant Python is way too fast; soon Nangong and Arno will be caught up too!" Gu Tianjiao noticed his gaze and quickly reminded him.
Chu Ge took a deep breath and commanded in a deep voice, "Full speed ahead, don't look back!"
After the Giant Python coiled Ye Wukong, his right hand went limp and dropped the Wooden Spear.
The Giant Python let go of its bite, looking at Ye Wukong's bloodied face, and sneered, "You little brat, I wasn't bragging, was I? Said I'd kill you, and I'm killing you!"
"You... are doomed... our leader will avenge me..." Ye Wukong's voice trembled.
The Giant Python scoffed, boasting arrogantly, "Call me Grandpa three times, and I'll consider sparing you."
Ye Wukong struggled to raise his left hand, flipping the middle finger, and cursed, "If you don't kill me... you're my grandson..." Continue reading at empire
