253: Chapter 253 Whether dead or alive, we must see the body.
Down in the reef area, Lin Fan was driven into a dead end by the giant python.
He panted heavily, looked up, and saw that Wang Laoliu was still motionless up high.
"Fuck."
He spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Ahead was the mutated giant python with its bloody maw wide open, and behind was the turbulent deep sea.
His retina was completely clean, with no red fonts popping up.
The system didn't give any hints.
It was as if as long as his head wasn't going to roll in the next second, this lousy system would absolutely not take the initiative to help.
There was no time to hesitate.
"Hiss!"
The python's body sprang up again, opening its big mouth to bite straight at Lin Fan's head.
Lin Fan exerted force with both legs.
"Plop!"
Carrying his gun, he plunged headfirst into the turbulent seawater.
The seawater instantly swallowed him, and the huge waves covered up the trace of him falling into the water.
The python missed its strike, its huge chin heavily striking the edge of the reef as gravel rolled into the sea.
Its chin only had some scrapes. It flicked its snake tongue and hovered above.
The salt and strong fishy smell of the seawater interfered with its sense of smell, and the water temperature also shielded the heat on Lin Fan's body.
The target had disappeared.
The python twisted its body, raised its huge head, swept its vertical pupils around, and kept flicking its tongue.
Before long, it locked onto Wang Laoliu, who was standing in the reef area watching the show.
The python let out a hiss, and then went straight for Wang Laoliu!
The sneer on Wang Laoliu's face instantly froze.
"Damn it!"
He never expected that the intern would actually jump into the sea.
That sea area was densely covered with hidden reefs and huge waves; jumping down meant a 90% chance of death.
This kid was really fucking crazy!
Now, he had become a live target.
The python's speed was extremely fast, crossing half the distance in the blink of an eye.
Wang Laoliu did not dare to wait any longer. He quickly leveled his sniper rifle, and the scope locked onto the python's bobbing head.
Thirty meters away.
Twenty meters.
Wang Laoliu held his breath and pulled the trigger with his finger.
"Bang!"
The gunfire echoed over the island once again.
Just as the bullet was about to hit the snake's head, the python's head skewed to the right.
The bullet flew past it, stirring up only a few pieces of black scales and splashing a few drops of blood.
"Damn it!"
Wang Laoliu broke out in a cold sweat.
This beast could actually really predict the ballistic trajectory!
He frantically pulled the bolt, the cartridge case flew out, and he pushed the last bullet into the chamber.
The python was already approaching, a bloody stench rushing towards his face.
Ten meters, five meters.
Wang Laoliu could not retreat anymore; he gave up aiming at the head and directly pushed the muzzle down.
"Bang!"
The recoil made Wang Laoliu's shoulders go numb.
This shot hit solidly.
But the bullet did not hit a vital spot; the python still managed to dodge, and the bullet only hit the base of its tail.
The penetration and destructive power of a sniper rifle were by no means comparable to a pistol.
"Splat!"
A mass of flesh exploded, scales shattered, and a fist-sized bloody hole appeared on the snake's tail.
"Roar...!!!"
The python let out an extremely painful hiss.
Its huge body twisted crazily, its tail lashed around randomly, and the surrounding reefs were smashed to pieces.
Wang Laoliu continued to lie motionless on the reef, his eyes fixed firmly on that snake.
He knew the nature of rural stray dogs: the less afraid you were of it, the less it dared to act presumptuously, but once you started running, it would immediately chase you desperately.
Although this thing wasn't a dog, it was a beast after all, and its temperament was of the same routine.
The python's vertical pupils stared at Wang Laoliu, but it didn't pounce again.
The severe pain in its tail made it feel a real threat of death.
This beast was not only huge in size, but its IQ was also ridiculously high.
It turned around, its huge body quickly slid down the reef, crossed the beach, and plunged headfirst into the dense woods.
A sound of trees breaking came from the woods, gradually moving away and soon returning to calm.
In the Karst Cave above, due to the terrain and angle, looking down from the platform position, one could only see the huge black snake open its bloody maw and then pounce on the reef where Lin Fan was standing.
Gravel splashed everywhere, and large splashes exploded on the sea surface.
Then, the snake adjusted its direction of attack, and that reef was empty, with no trace of Lin Fan anymore.
"Lin Fan!"
Song Ya's throat was hoarse, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.
She turned her head and stared at Xu Zhixia standing aside.
"Dr. Xu!"
Song Ya's voice trembled terribly, "What did you say just now? Didn't you say he wouldn't have any problems!"
Xu Zhixia froze in place, her face turning pale in an instant.
"I..."
Her lips trembled twice, "I clearly..."
"Oh my, stop with the 'clearly'."
Liu Feifei crossed her arms, leaned against the stone wall, and rolled her eyes heavily.
"Such a big monster crashed into him, the stones were smashed to pieces, can a person still survive?"
"Dr. Xu, are you satisfied now?"
"Are you going to plan how to use poison next, drug us unconscious, and bring up that killer and that rich second generation from below?"
"Shut up!"
This was the first time Song Ya shouted at someone.
Liu Feifei was startled, but seeing that it was Song Ya, she muttered again, "Why are you roaring at me? It's not like I killed Lin Fan."
Song Ya ignored her, raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face fiercely, and turned to look at Zhou Kai.
"Zhou Kai, watch the upper area."
Zhou Kai leaned on his wooden stick and moved a couple of steps. "Song Ya, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going down to find him."
Song Ya clenched her teeth tightly, "Dead or alive, I have to see the body!"
