Chapter 9, Secondary Scales

The water surface by the riverbank is quite shallow and exceptionally clear, making the search work not difficult

Do you hear that? Is something coming?

However, the situation is dire; they have neither a boat nor a contact phone, and they are currently trapped in this jungle.

The reticulated python felt a strong threat from Xu Jing, who was clearly an outsider with a markedly different appearance, and was compelled to regurgitate the recently swallowed Livingston, then coiled around him without showing any signs of weakness

Have you found the phone

Gail turned around and mocked, "You can't be serious?"

Everyone appears to be frowning, wearing a look of deep concern.

After evolving into a first-level scale armor, his speed significantly increased compared to before, charging straight ahead and quickly entering the river channel.

He felt a stir in his heart, knowing that Johnson's friend Livingston had come by boat

Others had no other choice at the moment but to assist in the search together

Xu Jing was quite satisfied with the strength of the armor; he felt it was sufficient. After all, he could not take this body with him when he left, and no matter how much he enhanced it, it would still be a waste.

This time it was not as painful as before, just a bit itchy. He sank to the bottom of the river, burrowing into the mud and rubbing against it.

If missed, it will take another seven years to bloom. Jack remains undeterred

The snake is most vulnerable while digesting food, as it not only moves sluggishly but also lacks energy, experiencing a sense of drowsiness

This is a giant python with a skin marked by black and white patterns, and at this moment, the python has just swallowed Livingston, the boat captain, and is hastily searching for a safe place to digest.

Suddenly, the water splashed as two giant pythons entwined with each other, simultaneously opening their large mouths to bite at each other's vital points

With the emergence of virtual interfaces, there indeed appears to be an additional '+' sign behind the first layer of scales

Johnson said it this way, but he has no idea what will happen next

Everyone rose one after another, tidying up as they began to move forward

In the midst of everyone else being in a state of panic, his calm and composed analysis indeed proved effective. The most decisive female investor, Gail, stood up and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and take a boat back home."

As Xu Jing was chasing halfway, he suddenly paused, and a faint sound of a motor vibration came through the flowing air

Do you want to scare me away

Johnson turned his head and said coldly, "Keep your money; the current situation is dire. I will only take you to a safe place"

Soon, he caught up with a giant python whose belly was swollen, hastily swimming towards the shore

System

Xu Jing, disregarding everything, similarly bit down between the head and the body of the reticulated python

His teeth sank deeply into the flesh of the other party and then did not let go

Boom

Sensing the approaching Xu Jing, the reticulated python turned its head, opened its large mouth, and issued a silent display of defiance

There is also me. The team doctor, who almost got eaten, also raised his hand in agreement

"Wait a moment," Jordan, who had been silent, said: "A considerable amount of money has been wagered on this."

It has become almost as hard as steel

I do not care! Gail said without hesitation: "As a representative of Weihe Venture Capital, I cancel the expedition"

Jack bluntly tore off the facade and threatened, "We are currently in the jungle, and your words only count if we choose to listen to them"

Xu Jing directly clicked on it, and the scales on his body instantly began to evolve again

At this moment, the members of the expedition team stood by the riverbank, gazing at the wreckage of the ship that had exploded upon crashing into the riverbank, all wearing expressions of despair and helplessness.

How could this happen? Livingston!

No! It can't be!

The most experienced Johnson's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Damn it, it looks like a giant python!"

About an hour later, Xu Jing burst out from the water. His appearance had not changed much from before, and his physique had not increased in size; however, the scales on his body had become more distinct, giving him a surprisingly pleasing look.

Reinforcing the strength once more will allow us to go to the Blood Orchid.

As she was preparing to leave, Jack called out to her, saying: "What about the blood orchid?"

A motorboat powered at full throttle passed by him. Xu Jing, flicking his tongue like a snake, noticed that there were no signs of life on the boat and immediately rushed in the direction from which the boat had come.

Puff

Xu Jing opened his mouth wide and gradually swallowed the other person.

Click! Click! Click!

After rapid digestion, the accumulated essence reached 65 points

As Kerr stated, since two super pythons have appeared in this jungle, it is entirely possible for them to encounter a third or fourth one

However, Johnson knew that the more the situation was like this, the less he could allow everyone to lose confidence, otherwise it would surely lead to the collapse of the team

This is your friend!" Kerr shouted at Johnson: "What the hell! What should we do now?

... ...

Gail fell silent, and at that moment, Kerr, who was already on the verge of collapse, said: "I agree with her opinion, I want to leave here"

The fangs of the reticulated python, cold and menacing, sank into Xu Jing as if biting into a steel plate, not only failing to harm Xu Jing but instead causing a sharp pain to surge through its mouth

Gail's expression was grim as he said word by word: "The adventure is over, Jack"

Hey! Jack, with a face full of anger, grabbed Johnson, who was walking at the back, and questioned in a lowered voice: "We agreed on this; you promised to persuade them for me."

A Chuan called out several times, but received no response

After a surge of water waves, the reticulated python gradually lost its strength, and the serpent's body that had been coiled around Xu Jing loosened.

Everyone's nerves instantly tensed, and they stood up in a panic, looking uneasily towards the depths of the jungle

A stone, roughly the size of a truck wheel, was struck by him and flew into the air, exploding into pieces with a thunderous sound.

No, the radio is also unresponsive

Go take a look at the contract!" Gail snorted coldly

... ...

Soon, everyone gathered again, sitting on the scattered stones by the riverbank, reporting their harvests

At that moment, a sudden rustling sound erupted from the jungle behind them

The reason lies here. Jack held a broken bottle and smashed it hard against the ground, angrily saying: "He fell off the boat while drunk!"

After making his decision, he swam towards the location of the expedition team, following the scent.

What should we do now

Recalling the scenes from the movie, Xu Jing turned her body and swam towards the nearest river channel

Xu Jing sneered coldly in her heart, rapidly shaking her body as she moved closer to the other party

Xu Jing does not care much about appearances; what he is concerned with is the hardness of the scales. Once on shore, he raised his tail and swept it towards a jagged boulder.

The sound of rushing water

You do not have the authority to do this. Jack's expression grew increasingly grim.

What surprised Jack the most was that Johnson also said: "Let's go, the adventure is over, we should leave here quickly and take the boat back"

Johnson said expressionlessly: "Search for the wreckage, look for supplies"

He then jumped into the water with A Chuan to start searching
