152: Chapter 152 The Intimidating Beasts: The Giant Python and the Serpent!

At this moment, the officer let out a cold snort, waved his hand, and led his men to follow the tracks in pursuit.

However, they hadn't gone far before they ran into trouble.

"Captain! My leg!"

A soldier suddenly let out a scream; half his leg had already sunk into the quicksand and was continuing to sink.

"Damn it! It's a swamp trap!"

It took several people scrambling in a panic to pull the soldier out.

Before they could even catch their breath, "Ah! A snake! There's a snake!"

Another soldier was bitten on the neck by a venomous snake that had fallen from a tree.

Within just a few minutes, he was foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Chaos began to spread.

And the culprit behind all of this, Qin Feng, was hiding on a large tree not far away with Lanna, watching with composure.

Those so-called traps were not set by him at all.

This swamp itself was the hunter.

And he had simply used his danger perception to guide them onto an "optimal" pursuit route.

"Chef, you... are too wicked."

Watching the group below scrambling in panic, Lanna whispered, though she couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.

Qin Feng grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Let's go." After saying that, he led Lanna away quietly.

I'm afraid the current situation is enough to give those Yang Country soldiers a hard time.

Night fell.

The nights in the swamp were even more terrifying than the days.

All kinds of strange sounds rose and fell.

Lanna was so scared her face turned pale, and she subconsciously inched closer to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng patted her shoulder, signaling for her to be at ease.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and his eyes instantly turned sharp! He heard it!

Amidst the chaotic roars of beasts, there was a trace of an extremely faint sound of human footsteps!

The sound was very cautious, appearing and disappearing, and if it weren't for his enhanced hearing, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all!

Those Yang Country soldiers had caught up again.

How did they manage that? Qin Feng frowned slightly, finding it truly incredible.

The Death Swamp was a notoriously deadly place; when did the Yang Country soldiers become so badass?

He looked in the direction the sound was coming from through the perspective of the bionic spider.

In night-vision mode, three figures wearing special combat uniforms were advancing in the dark in a triangular formation.

Their movements were professional and efficient, and they were clearly very familiar with the swamp environment.

The person in the lead held an assault rifle equipped with a night-vision scope and a silencer, his eyes locking onto the depths of the swamp like a hungry wolf.

On his arm was a clear armband—a Red Scorpion.

It was the Yang Country Red Scorpion Special Forces again!

Judging by their movements, they were very different from the ordinary Red Scorpion Special Forces.

Clearly, these three people were not the same group as the Yang Country soldiers who had been tracking them during the day.

Qin Feng's heart sank suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Lanna asked nervously, seeing the sudden change in Qin Feng's expression.

"Shh." Qin Feng made a gesture to keep quiet and led her to hide in a safe corner.

At this moment, his brain was working rapidly.

How were they discovered? His movements had always been very covert, and he had even deliberately forged multiple trails; theoretically, he had already shaken off all pursuit.

Unless... Qin Feng's gaze hardened. Unless there was an "old hunter."

That's right! It was those smugglers. He remembered now.

He had thought they were just ordinary smugglers; he didn't expect them to be old hunters.

They had been hanging around this forest and swamp area for a long time and were quite familiar with the situation here.

No wonder that group of Yang Country soldiers had brought those people over during the day; so that was it.

Damn it! He had been careless! He shouldn't have been soft-hearted at the time!

It was useless to regret it now.

The three Red Scorpion Special Forces members behind them were all wearing tactical helmets, and on the side of the helmets were signal receiving devices. It was thermal imaging!

Now they were in trouble! These three were clearly well-trained; judging by the way they held their guns and walked, they had likely been trained in Bear Country. They were elites among the Special Forces!

Just then, the system notification sound chimed. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a side mission: Survival of the Fittest.]

[Description: Successfully survive and counter-kill while being besieged by the 'Red Scorpion Special Forces team'.]

As expected, the system was following its usual evil cultivation path. Even at a time like this, it didn't forget to make him kill.

Qin Feng, however, grinned, a flash of crazy excitement appearing in his eyes. What he feared least was a head-on confrontation.

He quickly opened the system map and scanned it rapidly. Got it!

In a deep pool less than five hundred meters away from them, the bionic spider sent a signal; there was a "living creature" inside the pool, and it was huge.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see a good show." Qin Feng patted Lanna, hunched over, and began to weave through the complex vines.

Lanna didn't understand, but she followed him closely anyway.

Qin Feng's goal was very clear: to take them out.

First, he arrived at a narrow passage that they had to pass through.

On both sides were bottomless mud pits, and only a "small path" in the middle, composed of a few pieces of rotten wood and stones, was passable.

Qin Feng took a few pieces of special steel wire from his backpack and stretched two of them horizontally at a height of half a meter above the ground.

The other end of the steel wire was tied to a vine with excellent flexibility, and a few stones were hung from the end of the vine.

This thing didn't have any lethality, but as long as someone touched it, the stones would strike the tree trunk nearby and make a sound.

He just wanted this sound; that was enough.

After finishing all this, he led Lanna and circled around to the vicinity of the pool.

A strong, foul stench with an earthy smell hit them, more pungent than anywhere else in the swamp.

Qin Feng signaled Lanna to stop, and he approached the pool slowly by himself.

By the pool, a terrifyingly large python was coiled on a huge rock.

Its body, thicker than a bucket, was covered in dark yellow scales, which were covered with irregular black markings that blended perfectly into the surrounding environment.

It seemed to have just finished eating; its belly was bulging, and it was lazily digesting its food, showing no reaction to Qin Feng's approach.

[Ding! Detected special swamp creature: Swamp Giant Python · Anaconda.]

[Special skill: Beast Intimidation (Primary) has been automatically activated.]

Qin Feng could feel an invisible mental force radiating from his body, enveloping the giant python.

The originally lazy giant python suddenly raised its huge, triangular head.

Its pair of cold, vertical pupils instantly locked onto Qin Feng.

There was no rage, no hissing, but rather a kind of... confusion and wariness.

In its perception, the tiny two-legged beast before it was emitting a terrifying aura that made it afraid.

It was a suppression originating from deep within its bloodline, as if it had encountered a higher-level predator.

The giant python flicked its tongue uneasily, and its massive body began to writhe slowly; it wanted to escape the sight of this two-legged beast.

"Yes, that's it, good boy."

Qin Feng chuckled to himself and began to back away slowly.

Under the intimidation of Beast Intimidation.

The Giant Python Anaconda slowly moved its body and crawled in the direction he had pre-set.
