Chapter 282: Chapter 282: This Hug Comes Quite Fiercely

When Lin Fan went around the giant boulder,

the scene before him left even the battle-hardened Lin Fan completely stunned.

In the calm shallows,

a giant python was coiled in the water.

The girth of its body was as thick as a waist, and it was coiling around none other than Xu Zhi Rou.

"Green Anaconda!"

Lin Fan had never expected to encounter a green anaconda, a species indigenous to the Amazon, in this place.

It was the largest python in the modern world.

This creature enjoyed water, preferring to dwell on muddy shores and shallow waters.

Its diet ranged from small birds, turtles, and capybaras to even creatures as large as caimans.

It was anything but picky.

Moreover, its massive body was exceptionally agile in water.

It could approach prey without making a sound.

"Ah!"

Before Lin Fan could collect his thoughts,

a frantic Ning Mengyao, acting on instinct, screamed in horror.

As an ordinary person, she had never encountered such a terrifying sight before.

Combined with the natural fear many women have towards cold-blooded animals,

she was trembling all over and collapsed to the ground.

"Quick, bring me the dagger!"

Seeing Xu Zhi Rou already entwined by the anaconda, her face pale,

Lin Fan couldn’t afford to go back for his weapon.

Instead, he leapt forth, plunging into the water.

"Oh... the dagger... the dagger..."

Ning Mengyao on the shore, struggled to control her trembling legs.

She tried several times to stand, but was rooted to the spot out of fear.

Ignoring the tears on her face,

she could only grit her teeth and crawl toward the other side bit by bit.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had already dropped into the water.

This dark green anaconda was over ten meters long and more than a meter thick.

Its huge head was slowly opening,

attempting to swallow Xu Zhi Rou, who was nearly breathless, into its belly.

Luckily, Lin Fan once again caught the anaconda’s mouth.

"Damn it, I’ll show you how formidable I am!"

Lin Fan used all his strength in his arms, and a surging power filled his body.

His forehead veins throbbing, he prepared to use the move he had used on a brown bear.

To rip its head open.

Unexpectedly, the bite force of the anaconda wasn’t strong.

As he tore at it, the entire mouth seemed to expand with him,

as if it were elastic.

Lin Fan nearly sent himself into its belly willingly.

"Damn it, I forgot this thing could swallow objects larger than itself."

With Lin Fan’s current arm span, it was impossible to tear its mouth apart.

So he had to change tactics,

simply forcing its gaping maw shut.

At the same time, he tightly wrapped his arms around its head, resembling that of a bull,

and exerted all his effort to press down into the water.

"Little aunt... wake up... please wake up..."

At this moment, the green anaconda had been restrained by Lin Fan,

but without free hands, he couldn’t rescue Xu Zhi Rou.

So he could only shout at the top of his lungs.

Thankfully, the green anaconda’s body was already loosening its grip on Xu Zhi Rou,

wrapping around Lin Fan instead.

"Cough cough cough..."

A mouthful of water rushed into her nose, and Xu Zhi Rou suddenly came to her senses.

After a strenuous cough, she finally began to recover.

"Brother-in-law!"

Once Xu Zhi Rou had caught her breath,

she then saw Lin Fan struggling with the green anaconda.

The massive snake was tightly coiling around him,

yet he still gripped the green anaconda’s neck firmly.

Man and beast wrestled with each other in the water.

"Go... blub... get away..."

The embrace of the green anaconda was incredibly powerful.

It was said to easily snap the leg bones of its prey.

Lin Fan, tightly entwined, upon seeing that Xu Zhi Rou was alright,

urgently shouted out loud.

As long as she was safe, he could fully commit to the fight.

"Brother-in-law... I’m here to save you..."

Loyalty was a belief that had merged into Xu Zhi Rou’s very bones.

Instead of fleeing, she had thrown herself into the fray as well.

She struggled to hold on to the tail of the giant python.

But she couldn’t change anything.

"Go... I’m fine..."

No matter how fierce the giant python was, or how great its strength,

it posed no threat to Lin Fan with his Protective Gang Qi.

He infused his body with True Qi, making it as hard as steel.

No matter how strong the giant python was, it was to no avail.

He could only repeatedly urge Xu Zhi Rou to leave.

"I won’t... If we’re going to die, we’ll die together!"

Xu Zhi Rou, mad with determination, was hitting and kicking the giant python.

But its tough muscles meant it was hardly bothered by her attacks.

For a time, the two of them and the python desperately struggled in the shallows.

Even though the water was only a little more than a meter deep, the danger was all around.

"You beast... I’ll fight you to the end..."

Suddenly, Ning Mengyao’s voice came from the shore.

She, clutching two daggers and stumbling forward, was full of tears.

The fear she felt towards the cold-blooded creature made her tremble all over even now.

But she still clenched her teeth and charged into the water.

Desperately wanting to help.

However, the delicate Ning Mengyao’s hacking inflicted almost no damage at all.

Instead, she was thrown off by the movements of the giant python’s body, fell into the water, and swallowed several mouthfuls of it.

"Sister, give me the dagger!"

Xu Zhi Rou struggled to help Ning Mengyao to her feet.

Snatching a dagger, she stabbed viciously at the giant python.

"I’ll help you!"

Ning Mengyao, soaked to the skin, swung her dagger without a second thought.

It didn’t matter if she couldn’t injure it.

She only wanted to give it her all.

"Have you two had enough?"

It was only when Lin Fan’s voice reached them again,

that the two women wielding the daggers came to their senses.

They looked at the drenched Lin Fan.

And the giant python was already lying motionless in the water.

Although the tail they had been hacking at was bloodied and mangled,

its fatal wound was located beneath the snake’s head.

The entire body was caved in.

It was clear it had been strangled to death by Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan... you’re all right... I was so scared!"

Ning Mengyao, suddenly dropping the dagger,

threw her arms around Lin Fan’s neck.

The fear that had been suppressed burst forth in an instant.

She couldn’t control herself and started sobbing uncontrollably.

"It’s okay, don’t cry!"

Lin Fan gently patted Ning Mengyao’s back,

speaking softly.

He also looked at Xu Zhi Rou, who was still weeping in the water.

Clearly, the dreadful fight had terrified her as well.

But she couldn’t throw herself recklessly into Lin Fan’s embrace.

She could only silently shed tears while watching him.

"Alright, no more tears, such small creatures are no match for me."

Lin Fan lightly patted Xu Zhi Rou’s head,

offering her a measure of comfort.

Then he took the hands of both women and walked step by step towards the shore.

"What secrets does this island hold? Why are there these monsters?"

Powerless, Xu Zhi Rou lay on the riverbank, looking up at the sky.

This eastern part of Evil Island was simply hellish in difficulty.

"Yes... these creatures... why do they live here?"

Ning Mengyao curled up in Lin Fan’s embrace.

Whether it was the man-eating ants, the brown bear, or the giant python,

none of these animals should be living in such a place.

"Although I don’t know why these creatures are here, I have a bad feeling,"

Lin Fan turned his head to look at the mountain in the center of the area.

"According to the laws of the jungle, only a creature powerful enough can own the central region. Weaker ones can only roam on the outskirts, so these creatures might just be the appetizer, and the ones inside could be even more terrifying..."
