154: Chapter 154 Qatar Shocked! Is the Gap Between People Really That Vast?

A few minutes later.

An Ke, the Giant Python, and Old Crocodile set off from the Camp.

"Is it this way?"

An Ke glanced at King Kong on his shoulder and asked.

"Yes, my dear master."

At this moment, King Kong had a large bump on his head and looked honest and well-behaved, no longer spouting nonsense.

"Very good! Then let's set off!"

An Ke embarked on the road to rescue Kata.

Old Crocodile and the Giant Python acted as the muscle, while the other animals stayed behind to guard the Camp.

This was to avoid unnecessary danger.

After all, An Ke wasn't sure how many Giant Centipedes the other party had encountered.

If the other animals went, he would have to look after them too.

...

On the other side, atop a giant boulder, Kata watched as the sun was about to set, his pupils starting to lose focus.

He was currently cold and hungry.

The lack of sufficient food intake had caused him to suffer from hypothermia.

The breeze gently blowing against his cheek felt like a pair of nimble, delicate hands.

Kata only felt very comfortable and really wanted to sleep.

It seemed that as long as he fell asleep, he wouldn't have to be so tired or work so hard anymore.

Over half an hour had passed.

He still hadn't seen any sign of the Dragon Country Contestant.

Presumably, the other party wasn't coming.

That was for the best! This way, he didn't have to worry about leading the Dragon Country Contestant into a trap.

He only hoped that after his own country suffered the disaster, the Dragon Country would be able to lend a helping hand.

Just as Kata intended to fall into a comfortable sleep, he seemed to hear someone speaking in his ear.

"Master, that corpse is right there."

"I see it!"

...

Kata suddenly turned his head.

He saw that under the evening sky, a massive crocodile and a giant python were slowly approaching in this direction.

"Misfortunes never come singly?!"

Kata's heart skipped a beat.

The Giant Centipede wouldn't leave the ground.

But the crocodile and the giant python had no such scruples.

Once targeted by them, it would be game over.

But soon, Kata noticed something was wrong.

Between the giant python and the giant crocodile, there seemed to be a human figure standing.

Because the giant python and crocodile were so large, he had almost overlooked the human's presence.

A person walking alongside a giant python and a giant crocodile?

To be precise, it should be that the giant python and giant crocodile were following that human figure.

"Oh! Lord! Have I started to hallucinate?"

Kata seriously doubted he was hallucinating.

It seemed he really was on the brink of death.

Kata couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile, welcoming the impending death.

However, just then, he clearly heard a greeting:

"Hello there! My friend!"

The voice was very clear, and Kata couldn't help but be stunned.

Not a hallucination?

He looked closely and saw a handsome, refined young man had already arrived nearby, waving with a beaming smile.

Kata was overjoyed, "It's not a hallucination, it's real!!"

And through his appearance and language, he was certain that this was the Dragon Country Contestant.

But soon he looked worried: "My friend, these two behemoths beside you..."

Kata was worried for An Ke, fearing he would be swallowed alive.

An Ke, however, waved his hand dismissively, "No need to worry, they are all my partners."

Kata: "..."

Partners with a giant python and a giant crocodile?

Kata's "CPU" was fried.

What kind of international joke was this?

An Ke ignored Kata's reaction and instead asked:

"Kata, can you be sure how many Giant Centipedes are nearby?"

Kata hurriedly replied: "One."

"My friend, you must be car—"

But before he could finish, he heard An Ke say: "There's only one!"

"What a pity, I originally wanted to collect more centipede carapaces."

An Ke had discovered that after processing, the centipede carapace made an excellent tray.

Not only could it hold things, but it could also be used for boiling.

There was only one, and this Dragon Country Contestant actually found it a pity? Kata didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

He watched as An Ke casually stepped into the nearby danger zone.

Then, he paced back and forth as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Kata's heart leaped into his throat; in his eyes, An Ke's actions were undoubtedly like dancing on a tightrope.

The attack speed of the Giant Centipede was very fast.

It was difficult for humans to have any reaction time.

An Ke could easily lose his life this way.

Kata decided to warn An Ke; he couldn't just stand by and watch the other man court death.

But in the next second, An Ke moved.

"It's coming!!"

He immediately dodged with a side jump.

In the next instant, a Giant Centipede burst out of the ground exactly where An Ke's feet had been.

"So fast!?"

Kata was dumbfounded, doubting his own eyes.

The Giant Centipede's speed wasn't even as fast as An Ke's.

Before the centipede's attack had even broken through, An Ke had already reacted, as if he had predicted it in advance.

What Kata didn't know was that An Ke *had* predicted it in advance.

Spider Sense clearly told An Ke that a Giant Centipede was attacking.

After dodging, it was the same routine as before.

An Ke immediately used his Natural Affinity ability, causing the Giant Centipede to stiffen for a moment.

It was this single moment of stiffness that sealed the Giant Centipede's fate.

The Giant Centipede was dead!

After An Ke pulled it out of the ground using the same method, it was strangled by the Giant Python.

The entire battle lasted less than twenty seconds.

"Alright! It's safe now, my friend!"

An Ke clapped his hands and said indifferently to Kata.

Meanwhile, Kata was like a crashed computer, mouth agape and eyes wide, his expression full of disbelief.

It's over just like that?

The Giant Centipede that had tortured him for days and nearly killed him was finished off just like that?

At this moment, the contents of the bullet comments from the higher-ups earlier flashed through Kata's mind.

Dragon Country's An Ke had killed over a dozen Giant Centipedes.

Now Kata completely believed it; it wasn't boasting!

"Thank you for the rescue, my friend!"

Kata's eyes were filled with gratitude.

An Ke's action hadn't just saved him; it had saved the entire Rich Dog Country.

Such kindness was beyond words.

"We're all friends, helping each other is only natural," An Ke smiled.

Kata wanted to say more, but his vision suddenly went black, his body went limp, and he fell straight down from the giant boulder.

Fortunately, An Ke reacted in time and caught Kata.

Only then was he prevented from suffering secondary injuries.

With the danger removed and his constantly taut nerves relaxed, Kata's body could no longer hold up.

Before, he had been able to endure solely on faith and responsibility.

"My friend, I've been saved by you once again."

Kata eased up a bit and smiled weakly.

An Ke chuckled, "You'd better stop talking and save your strength."

"Come back to my Camp with me first, and I'll treat you to a meal."

Kata wanted to refuse.

In the wilderness, food was the most precious thing.

What if An Ke treating him to this meal resulted in the other man having no food?

However, in his weakened state, he thought about it and chose to accept An Ke's kindness.

Once he recovered, he would repay An Ke.

"Come, I'll help you onto Old Crocodile's back and let him carry you."

Kata's expression instantly froze.

He slightly twisted his neck to look at the massive crocodile beside him.

He estimated this crocodile was at least 8 meters long, like a small truck.

With such a giant crocodile, would he really not be swallowed alive on the way?

Kata was somewhat resistant; it was too terrifying.
