Chapter 254 Still Alive
The terror of the cobra needs no explanation.
It is the ultimate assassin hidden in the jungle.
Its venom is extremely potent, containing neurotoxins, and once bitten, the body quickly becomes paralyzed.
The cobra resting on Liang Bing's shoulder, thicker than her arm, is not just any cobra.
It is... the King Cobra!
The toxicity of the King Cobra is one of the deadliest in the world.
Even for Su Chen, if he were bitten by the King Cobra, he would be lucky to survive without shedding a layer of skin.
The strike speed of a cobra is already incredibly fast, let alone a King Cobra, and even Su Chen must be cautious around it.
Liang Bing's entire body was on edge.
Though she was a Dragon Group Soldier, as a woman, she instinctively feared such creatures.
Through training, this fear had been reduced considerably.
If the cobra were far away, and her eyes could see, she would muster the courage to fight.
But now, she did not dare to make a move.
She could only let the cold body slide over her skin.
That feeling...
Even the strong-minded Dragon Group Soldiers couldn't help but feel fear at this moment.
"Shh~"
Suddenly, a crisp whistle sounded.
The King Cobra immediately reacted.
It catapulted towards Su Chen.
Its speed was so fast, one could nearly see just an afterimage.
Liang Bing felt a weight lift from her shoulder; she knew Su Chen had used the whistle to attract the cobra away.
This move was incredibly dangerous, because at such a close distance, Su Chen could easily get bitten by the cobra.
Seeing Su Chen die or weakened in combat was the last thing Liang Bing wanted.
Nonetheless, she felt that, with Su Chen's capabilities, this King Cobra might not be a match for him.
But she couldn't take chances.
She would rather the cobra bite her instead.
So, the moment the King Cobra launched, her hand also moved.
She grabbed the cobra's tail directly.
Su Chen's eyes bulged. Was this woman crazy?
But he quickly reacted.
Now he was Liang Bing's only hope.
Liang Bing must have thought she could die, but he could not, not even sustain a slight injury.
Looking at the woman who was trembling one second, yet the next second, she resolutely grabbed for the King Cobra, Su Chen could not help but be impressed.
Everyone has something they fear, but those who can overcome their fear are few and far between.
When the King Cobra felt attacked, it immediately turned its head and slithered towards Liang Bing.
Even though Liang Bing couldn't see, the whoosh of the cobra's attack was crystal clear.
Maybe, in the next second, or maybe not even a full second, she'd be bitten by the cobra.
In this place, devoid of medical facilities and antivenin, a cobra bite was almost a certain death.
But, Liang Bing didn't feel the bite.
Sss… Sss…
That was the sound of the cobra hissing.
Close at hand.
She knew Su Chen must have grabbed the cobra.
Indeed, as the King Cobra turned back to attack Liang Bing, Su Chen acted, swiftly and accurately capturing the King Cobra by its neck.
"Eat this, it should help recover your eyesight." Soon, a warm object was thrown into Liang Bing's hand.
Liang Bing knew, this was the cobra's Snake Gallbladder.
Snake gallbladder is indeed a great thing; it has the effects of dispelling wind, removing dampness, cooling and brightening the eyes, detoxification, and relieving prickly heat. It can regulate a person's nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, thus slowing down the body's aging process.
Without hesitation, Liang Bing immediately swallowed it.
"Let's hit the road."
The two set off once again.
This time, Su Chen did not choose to act recklessly but tried as much as possible to avoid detection.
About ten minutes later, Su Chen saw a camp.
The camp was not large, with visibly more than twenty people outside; including the unseen and the sentries, the number should be around forty.
According to Liang Bing.
This team consisted of over one hundred thirty people.
After taking down nearly thirty, there were still over a hundred left.
The choice of location for this camp was very clever.
With cliffs on two sides, and the other two offering a broad field of vision.
This way, they wouldn't face attacks from both front and rear.
And it would be difficult to launch a surprise attack.
Because you would be spotted before getting anywhere close.
It was clear that this mysterious force was well-trained and had a complete set of combat strategies.
Like the roving sentries several kilometers away from the camp.
Those sentries, seemingly easily taken care of by Su Chen, didn't mean they were weak.
If it had been Liang Bing, even at his peak, he might have been able to handle them, but not as silently as this.
All were after members of the Reverse Dragon Group; killing one meant one less pressure on the Reverse Dragon Group.
Su Chen didn't directly bypass this camp to help the Reverse Dragon Group.
He didn't want to give the two enemy forces a chance to join up.
If he were to face an elite force of over a hundred at the same time, Su Chen, confident as he was, wouldn't believe he could rescue everyone from the Reverse Dragon Group unscathed.
The location of the camp, seemingly difficult to attack stealthily, was not absolute.
As long as you climb the cliff and launch a surprise attack from above, they could still be caught off guard.
Su Chen rapidly observed the camp's position.
Suddenly, his expression slightly darkened.
"What's wrong?" Liang Bing felt the change in the air around the man next to her and asked softly. Toreporterrors,pleasevisittheoriginalpostonM|VLEMPYR.
Now over eight hundred meters away from the camp, Liang Bing, no matter how good her hearing, found it difficult to discern any noise from the camp.
"I think I saw two Huaxia captives," Su Chen frowned and said.
Through the telescope, he had just seen two people covered in blood dragged out of a tent.
A man and a woman, both from Huaxia.
...
"You're not talking, huh?" A burly American man showed a hint of cruelty in his eyes as he pulled out a tiger's head ring and wore it on his fist.
Then he grabbed the Huaxia woman's hair with one hand, and his fist adorned with the tiger's head ring pounded into her abdomen.
"Uh!" The woman immediately let out a muffled groan, her body twisting in pain.
"Stop it, you devils!" The Huaxia man watched, his eyes about to split with rage.
The American man turned his head to look at the Huaxia man being pinned to the ground by his subordinates, a sneer forming on the corner of his mouth, "I can stop, but tell me which unit you belong to and the content of your mission this time!"
The Huaxia man glared at the American with hatred but showed no intention to speak.
"No word? I have plenty of patience."
The American man sneered coldly, continuing to viciously pound the woman's abdomen with his fist bearing the tiger's head ring.
Each punch twisted the Huaxia woman's body and blood flowed from her mouth as if money were of no concern.
And her clothes were already soaked with blood.
"Stop hitting her, stop, I'll talk!" The Huaxia man finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Wasn't it better to be like this from the start?" The man with the Secret Manual stopped his attacking movements, then grabbed the Huaxia man's collar and lifted him up.
"That's the situation." Su Chen, holding the telescope, relayed what he saw to Liang Bing.
After hearing Su Chen's words, a look of wild joy suddenly flashed in Liang Bing's eyes, "That, those are my teammates, they're not dead, that's great!"
