138: Chapter 138 Me, the Rat! I've Really Rebelled Against the Heavenly Gang!
Once it was confirmed that Natural Affinity could influence the animals in the Beast Attack arranged by the National Fortune Game,
it was undoubtedly great news for An Ke.
This meant that as long as his Natural Affinity level was high enough, he would have no need to fear any future Beast Attack.
The animals appearing now were getting larger and more terrifying.
An Ke had reason to believe that even more horrifying creatures would appear in the future.
Even ancient creatures that could be called Titans...
Once he verified that Natural Affinity influenced these Beast Attack animals arranged by the game,
An Ke would have to start researching how to quickly upgrade his Natural Affinity.
"Papa! Father! You are my real father!!"
The Giant Python was moved to tears of gratitude toward An Ke.
It really hadn't expected that the Two-legged Beast before it would ultimately choose to spare its life.
Now that An Ke had made up his mind, the Old Crocodile Couple, Tiger Mom, and Leopard Mom had nothing more to say.
They could only choose to obey An Ke's command and release the Giant Python.
However, the moment they let go, they all moved to protect An Ke behind them.
Old Crocodile threatened, "Stinky snake! If you have even the slightest improper thought, I, Old Crocodile, will bite you into pieces in a heartbeat."
Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom didn't say anything harsh, but they stared menacingly at the Giant Python.
Their eyes said it all.
After the Giant Python was no longer restrained, it was in high spirits.
But when it heard Old Crocodile's words, it curled its lip imperceptibly.
Bite it into pieces?
Just with you, a single crocodile?
The Giant Python didn't care at all about the threats from the other animals on the scene.
The only one it feared was An Ke.
Because he was the one who could truly hack it to death and then tear it to shreds.
Thinking of this, the Giant Python immediately put on a fawning smile and said to An Ke:
"Papa!"
"Thank you for sparing my life."
An Ke's mouth twitched, and he said irritably, "Change how you address me..."
"If you dare call me Papa again, I'll chop you down immediately."
The Giant Python had been dismissive of Old Crocodile's threat.
But the threat from An Ke, the smallest person on the scene, made the Giant Python's body tremble.
It hastily changed its tune, "Boss, this little one knows its mistake."
"Boss, please calm your anger; Boss, please calm your anger."
An Ke glanced at the Giant Python, and it immediately put on a harmless smile, its attitude extremely respectful.
"Even though I'm letting you go, I still need you to give me a military pledge."
"You know that Python that just escaped, right?"
"This little one knows it, of course, hehe~" the Giant Python responded immediately, not daring to be slow.
"Go and bring it back. If it's alive, I want to see the snake; if it's dead, I want to see the corpse," An Ke said indifferently.
The Giant Python was surprised. "Just this one little snake going alone?"
It couldn't quite understand. Could it be that the Boss wasn't afraid it would take the chance to run away?
An Ke naturally knew the Giant Python's thoughts and smiled slightly.
"Yes! Just you alone. Of course, you can choose to run away."
"But you'd better pray that you don't run into me afterward."
"If I ever encounter you again, begging for mercy won't work next time. I will definitely kill you."
The Giant Python's body shuddered again.
"Rest assured, Boss, this little one will never lose its mind and choose to run away."
What kind of joke was that?
Having finally regained its life, it didn't want to seek death.
Rather than living the rest of its life in fear and trepidation, as if walking on thin ice,
it was better to follow a Boss like An Ke.
Anyway, it used to follow another snake boss before.
What difference did it make who it followed?
"Boss, this little one will go now and bring Old Four back."
If it had hands, An Ke believed the Giant Python would definitely be thumping its chest in guarantee.
Old Crocodile glanced at the Giant Python and said irritably:
"You were partners before. If you really run into it, will you be able to strike?"
"Don't go letting it go on purpose and then come back and tell us you couldn't find it."
Old Crocodile and the other animals still didn't trust the Giant Python.
"Tch!" The Giant Python didn't have a good face when facing the other animals.
"As long as the Boss has a need, I am willing to do anything for him."
"When I see it, I'll kill it immediately and only bring the corpse back, so it won't threaten the Boss's safety."
The Giant Python spoke with perfect confidence.
This left the other animals speechless.
Does this guy really have no sentimentality at all?
Weren't they partners together before?
This guy is really suited to be a spy... a complete fence-sitter.
Also, when it was restrained by Old Crocodile and the others earlier, its attitude toward them was respectful.
Now that it was released, what was with this attitude?
The change was way too fast, wasn't it?
The Giant Python ignored the thoughts of the other animals; it only cared about An Ke's thoughts.
To avoid An Ke thinking it was a fence-sitter and changing his mind about killing it,
the Giant Python hurriedly explained respectfully to An Ke:
"Just now, Old Four became a deserter."
"No matter what, this little one would have killed it."
"So, Boss, having me go look for it now is just a simple matter along the way."
An Ke nodded, barely accepting the Giant Python's explanation.
Then he turned around and waved his hand.
"Hurry up then, before it gets too far away to find."
The Giant Python no longer hesitated. "This little one understands!"
"Rest assured, Boss, this little one has a real knack for tracking."
After speaking, the Giant Python slithered away, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Watching the Giant Python's retreating back,
Old Crocodile couldn't help but say to An Ke as he walked toward the Camp:
"Little Friend, is it really okay to just let it leave like that?"
"What if it really runs away?"
An Ke smiled. "If it runs, it runs."
"It's not a loss for us anyway."
"Those two Pythons are enough for us to enjoy a delicious meal."
Snake meat is quite a delicacy; it tastes like chicken.
The reason An Ke was so open-minded about it
was mainly that it didn't matter whether the Giant Python escaped or not.
Since he had successfully resisted this Beast Attack, he would receive a reward from the National Fortune Game.
Last time, he had obtained the Top-tier Bow and Arrow Crafting Technique.
This time, he didn't know what reward he would get.
An Ke was full of anticipation.
And speaking of food, Old Crocodile immediately became excited.
"Wahahaha! Little Friend, I want to eat charred meat!!"
Sister-in-law Crocodile glared at Old Crocodile. "This mother really wants to give you a good slap."
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating."
"This mother is injured, and you don't care at all, do you?"
"Fine! It seems you no longer have me, your wife, in your heart."
Old Crocodile immediately broke into a cold sweat.
It's over! My wife is angry.
This trouble was even bigger than the one with the four Pythons.
An Ke didn't intervene in the couple's quarrel.
After returning to the Camp, he checked on the condition of the animals.
Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom also rushed over to check if their children were injured.
After confirming that none of the animals were injured and only nearly a thousand Bees had been sacrificed, An Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that they were okay.
An Ke immediately announced loudly, "Cooking Squad, extra food tonight!!"
They were just eating when the Beast Attack happened earlier.
Now that two Pythons had been killed, it was just the right time for a feast.
