Chapter 7, The Terrified Expedition Team

Johnson continued to say: "South American anacondas all have their territories, but even such large snakes do not have territories exceeding ten kilometers. Once outside that range, they certainly will not leave easily, and we have now escaped several dozen kilometers away."

At this moment, he was merely clad in first-level scales. After a brief experiment, with a sweep of his tail, he astonishingly broke a tree that was as large as two people could embrace, yet he remained unscathed.

Johnson surveyed everyone and confidently said: "That large python we just encountered seems to have had a problem of its own. Did you not see how it was in pain? If it wanted to hunt us down, it would have done so long ago, rather than allowing us to escape safely"

Apologies, Johnson refused, saying: "I can take you to find the flowers, but you must persuade them yourself"

It is truly terrifying. Gail and Shan, the two female team members, curled up in their chairs, their faces filled with fear

I believe that in the face of such a feast, no python would ever give up.

Really

At this moment, due to the mating hormone signals emitted by the mother snake, the mutated giant pythons throughout the rainforest are gathering around the blood orchid.

After the incident of rescuing someone from a long-snouted crocodile in the water, Johnson's reliability in the eyes of the public significantly increased, and everyone nodded in agreement after he finished speaking

I hope so said Johnson as he stood up from his seat

However, upon his arrival, he discovered that the entire ship had been swept down the waterfall, reduced to a pile of wreckage, and the members of the expedition team had already set off again, entering the jungle

Jack let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of joy wash over him, but as he looked up, he was taken aback. Not far ahead, a vast expanse of marshland appeared before him

"You all should rest early, I will go up and take a look," Johnson said, and then he ran up the stairs.

In his view, although the giant python was terrifying, it seemed to have some issues of its own. He was more than half confident that he could return safely, especially since he had not been attacked on the way here, merely startled a little.

No one blamed Johnson for the near-fatal shipwreck, as after A-Chuan discovered the rising water level last night, Johnson had suggested that it would be best to take the risk and return to choose a new route

In order to arrive as quickly as possible, they chose to traverse the jungle, which would save them a day's journey

But just at that moment, Ah Chuan, who was steering the boat on the second level, suddenly shouted: "Johnson, Johnson!"

According to Xu Jing's estimation, his current scale armor strength is comparable to cast iron. Although ordinary firearms can still inflict damage on him, it is certainly limited.

"So you have to help me," Jack requested. "Help me persuade them."

No problem! You are the captain, and you have the final say!

Finally arrived here. Xu Jing was somewhat excited

The more powerful pythons are generally those that arrive first at the mating grounds. Those still on the way, like Xu Jing, are mostly first-level mutated giant pythons. While there are some second-level powers, they are not numerous.

"It looks like a python," Jordan said after thinking for a moment, noticing that others remained silent.

What on earth is that thing? The short black man, Keer, appeared somewhat agitated.

Xu Jing does not wish to hunt in the mating grounds, but he is concerned that doing so may provoke an attack from a group of snakes. He currently does not have sufficient confidence to confront a group of giant pythons

At least we are still alive, aren't we?" Jack followed closely behind Johnson, glancing back at the others who were in low spirits. He quickened his pace and leaned in to say, "As long as we are still here, we can continue our adventure and seek out the flower of immortality.

Are you sure?" Johnson raised his eyebrows, feeling quite moved. He then gestured with his eyes, pointing to Gale behind him, and asked, "Will your female boss agree?

As he walked through the jungle, Johnson fiercely hacked at the obstructing plants while saying, "This venture has truly been a great loss; I've even lost the ship."

... ...

Johnson shook his head slightly and said, "I can only say temporarily; who knows what will happen next? If any situation arises, it is best for all of you to listen to me."

I will go take a look," Jack said, and he ran up as well

Of course, Johnson took the opportunity to raise the price, demanding an additional 50,000 yuan in compensation, which Gail readily paid on behalf of the company

After he came ashore, he circled around a patch of rocks along the shore, and after distinguishing the scent of the expedition team members, he leisurely followed the scent.

Any mutated python within a few kilometers of them can sense their presence

Jack took a deep breath and said, "Will it catch up to us?"

Johnson just contacted a friend who was boating on another river, offering 5,000 yuan for the other party to pick them up at a place called Naga Rock

After dawn, Xu Jing finally caught up with the expedition team

"Are you saying that we are safe now?" Shan asked with some doubt

At this moment, Johnson said: "Don't worry, it won't catch up."

But the one they trust the most now is you. Jack did not want to give up, and seeing Johnson still shaking his head, he lowered his voice and said: I will pay you an additional 50,000 yuan, help me out.

The sky grew darker, yet the crew aboard the expedition ship felt no inclination to sleep. They gathered together, discussing in a state of shock the scenes they had witnessed earlier

Hehe, are you all joking? Kelgan chuckled a few times, gesturing with both hands, and incredulously said: "Have you ever seen such a thick and long super python?"

Indeed, after some thought, everyone breathed a sigh of relief

Johnson held the bottle and drank deeply, then said in a low voice: "Indeed, it should be a mutated green anaconda."

But your friends seem to have lost interest in the adventure. Johnson shook his head with a smile, shrugged, and said: "What they want most now is to return to a large hotel, take a warm bath, and then lie on a soft and comfortable big bed to have a good night's sleep"

Having departed from the large vessel that sailed swiftly, this group of explorers resembled a gathering of delectable food that could still emit signals

Many people were taken aback upon hearing this and could not help but tremble

Therefore, he intends to utilize the expedition team to first hunt down some solitary giant pythons, accumulate enough primordial points, and then evolve once or twice before heading to the mating grounds

"Good! Deal!" The two quickly reached an agreement

However, when others heard that they were to return, they all became quite agitated, immediately expressing their refusals in quick succession. Jack, who was even less inclined to waste an additional two days by taking a detour, ultimately decided to yield to the majority.

On the other end, the expedition team formed a long line, with Johnson and A-Chuan taking turns to clear the path with their knives as they advanced deeper into the jungle

Xu Jing was uncertain about the level of the most powerful python there, but he believed that there would definitely be no python that had evolved the ability to develop scales like himself

Certainly! Jack, upon seeing Johnson relent, immediately said: "No need to ask her, I will pay out of my own pocket"
