SWNOVELS Chapter 163
Emmett and the others remained silent, just watching Yvette
Bruce raised an eyebrow and asked Yvette, “Ms. Zeller, have you ever been on a rainforest expedition? Why do you seem so familiar with this place?”
Yvette pursed her lips and looked up expressionlessly. She replied with a low voice, “I saw it in a documentary”
Frankie had just taken a sip of water, which all came spewing out and landed right on Bruce’s face, with two drops trickling down his temple. Bruce wiped the water off his face, looked up, and gave Frankie a gentle smile. However, that smile was completely terrifying to Frankie, because he knew that even if he escaped this jungle, he might not avoid death. After all, he had provoked a man who was both a clean freak and stingy.
An hour slipped by without notice. The group set out again, with Yvette leading in front.
Frankie couldn’t help but wonder what sort of documentary Yvette had watched He thought that he definitely needed to look into it once they were back.
As they set off again this time, Yvette slowed her pace, unlike the quick pace she had set before.
As they passed through a patch of flowers, Frankie seemed to be momentarily captivated. His eyes dazed, and then he inexplicably reached out to touch a colorful bloom. Just as he was about to touch it, a silver needle shot from Yvette’s direction, hitting the center of the flower.
The petals scattered, revealing a small and brightly patterned snake. Its fangs dripped with foul and clear liquids that were clearly poisonous, The snake swiftly lunged at Frankie. Although Chris, Bruce, and Emmett reacted quickly, it was already too late to save Frankie.
In a flash, Yvette’s second and third silver needles directly hit their mark, striking the snake’s head and its critical spot. The snake’s head and body separated instantly.
Frankie was so terrified that he fell to the ground. He had been scared of reptiles since he was a child, especially snakes, those cold–blooded creatures. The sight of the snake lunging at him with its mouth wide open had a huge impact on him.
Frankie ran to the side and vomited several times before he could settle down a bit. After feeling a little better, he scampered- over to Yvette, grinning like a kid. She said to Yvette, “I declare that from today on, you’re my idol. No…no, idol is too shallow. Anyway, I’ve decided to call you Ms. Zeller from now on to show my respect.”
Yvette was rarely at a loss for words.
She gave a slight smirk, with upturned eyes carrying a hint of indifference and a playful and audacious flair. She glanced at Chris and the others, who seemed unfazed by it all.
Bruce and the others knew Frankie’s whimsical nature very well
Emmett and the others weren’t as carefree as Frankie Just moments ago, Frankie almost became a dead man. If Yvette had been even a moment later, he’d probably be in heaven right now Emmett had seen everything clearly just now. Yvette’s silver needles were launched all at once, which meant that at that moment, Yvette reacted in an instant. Releasing three needles simultaneously while controlling their timing and order showcased incredible precision. Emmett admitted that it was truly amazing
Yvette stared at the dead viper on the ground for a while, and then she said, her tone turning serious, “We’re almost there. The rest of them didn’t know what Yvette meant, so they asked, feeling puzzled, “Where exactly are we going?” Yvette’s eyes were brown and bright. She looked past them into the distance, with a chilly expression of her delicate face
Chapter 163
She said to them, “In less than half an hour, we should encounter a giant python, the ruler of this rainforest. It’s several tens of feet longer than any python discovered so far and has been residing here for an unknown period. The appearance of these little snakes is a sign we’re close, so from now on, we must remain on high alert. Emmett, take out the prepared sulfur extract and sprinkle it on yourself, which should temporarily keep these small snakes away
At this point, Yvette reached into her black backpack and pulled out a small porcelain vial, pouring out four small beads resembling candy. She handed them to Emmett, who distributed them among the group.
There was full of coldness in Yvette’s eyes. She looked ruthless. An air of unapproachability surrounded her.
She ordered, with an undeniable tone, “Eat it. This will keep you safe from the toxic atmosphere for two hours. Earlier, Frankie was misled by the scent in the air. The medicine is just part of it, but staying strong and focused is crucial to avoid falling into traps.”
The gravity of Yvette’s words made their hearts tighten. They wondered, ‘How massive is the python she mentioned?
They had many questions, like how Yvette knew about the massive python, and where she got this kind of poison that they had never heard of or seen on the market.
Yvette didn’t allow them a moment for questions. After watching them swallow their pills, she turned to lead the way. Seeing this, they held back their questions and closely followed her.
After walking for another ten or so minutes, Yvette stopped, crouched down, and picked up a handful of dirt, She sifted it gently between her fingers and brought it to her nose to sniff
Yvette knew that the smell was a mix of decaying animal bodies and blood and they had reached the lair of the giant snake. Yvette’s eyes sharpened immediately. She stood facing the wind, exuding an aura of deadly intent.
“It’s here,” she said. As soon as Yvette finished speaking, there was the sound of rustling swept through the surrounding bushes. The noise grew from distant to nearby, which sent chills down their spines.
Emmett, along with Chris, Bruce, and Frankie, immediately pulled out heavy machine guns from their bags.
Frankie, holding his gun, whistled confidently and said, “Ah, the age of firearms is great. No matter how big the snake is, r definitely blow its head off with one shot. However, the others remained silent. They thought, The firepower of our guns should be enough to kill a snake, although a larger one might take a little more effort.
Yvette stared ahead. Upon hearing Frankie’s words, her expression remained indifferent, and her eyes were still cold.
Suddenly, Yvette’s demeanor became serious. She said, “Get ready. It’s coming. The snake’s venom is extremely toxic, so be sure not to get bitten. Not even the gods could save you if that happens.”
The rustling sound came closer. Finally, a few minutes later, they saw the giant snake that Yvette had talked about. At that moment, they all stared blankly at the enormous snake hovering above them. Its large mouth was wide open, flickering its forked tongue. Two massive fangs dripped with venom as its keen eyes emitted an eerle green glow. The giant python had jet black scales embellished with deep crimson patterns. They shimmered in the sunlight, and its massive body coiled into a large circle, seemingly at least a hundred feet long by eye-
Frankie looked down at the gun in his hand, then at the towering creature before him. He thought in shock, ‘Could I take back what I just said? Is this really a python? It looks more like a prehistoric creature that has come back to life‘
Emmett, Chris, and Bruce were somewhat prepared. However, they were still unexpected after seeing the giant python up closely. They thought surprisingly, ‘It this the giant python? They realized that if one moved wrongly, they’d become its dinner, which was hardly enough to get stuck between its teeth. The python focused its eyes on the intruders of its territory, or more precisely, on Yvette, who was standing at the front. It might feel a familiar smell,
