Chapter 316: Chapter 315 [Battle with the Blood Python]

Ye Tianchen heard Luo Weike’s words, stopped in his tracks, turned around, smiled, and said to Luo Weike, "Don’t underestimate the audacity of youth..."

"What an excellent phrase—’Don’t underestimate the audacity of youth’... I really didn’t expect our China could produce someone like you. Let’s join forces in battle this time!" Luo Weike was also inspired by Ye Tianchen’s forthrightness and said with a smile.

"You support me and Cang Lang from behind, uncle!" Ye Tianchen calmly said to Luo Weike.

"You, kid..." Luo Weike said somewhat displeasedly.

"You have contributed to the country for a lifetime, which wasn’t easy. Take care of yourself; otherwise, you won’t get the chance to enjoy the rest of your life..."

After saying that, Ye Tianchen didn’t wait for Luo Weike to speak and headed towards the hotel opposite. He was going to fetch Cang Lang. The main battle personnel had already been decided by him; it was just him and Cang Lang. As for Luo Weike, he could undertake some supporting tasks. Ye Tianchen wasn’t careless; he could see that Luo Weike, who had been lurking along the border for years, had also experienced one battle after another and was somewhat exhausted both mentally and physically. This was a man who had made great contributions to the republic and didn’t need to be exposed to further risks.

If the intelligence Luo Weike spoke of was accurate, it would likely be a significant, meticulously planned event. Daring to target the special forces at China’s border was unquestionably a decision by Japan, and they had even deployed experts from the Beichen One-Cut School. Serious attention was needed, and a bloody battle was inevitable. Ye Tianchen had already vowed in his heart that no matter if the twenty elite special soldiers and Han Jie were dead or alive, he would leave this group’s people in the Black Mist Forest. He was one who did not leave troubles behind.

Knock, knock, knock!

Ye Tianchen knocked on Cang Lang’s door; when Cang Lang opened it and saw Ye Tianchen and another person coming in, he couldn’t help but smile slightly, "How did you two get in touch?"

"We just got in touch; we’re ready to head out to the Black Mist Forest!" Ye Tianchen said after entering the room and visiting the restroom.

Luo Weike greeted Cang Lang with a salute, although he was a top national agent, Cang Lang was a senior official, closely associated with Elder Yang and the highest leader, making him a very influential figure. Only Ye Tianchen, that guy, did not regard him with much respect, showing no deference at all.

"Ye Tianchen, do you want me to introduce you and Luo Weike to each other?" Cang Lang asked with a smile.

"No need, you and I will be the main fighters this time, with Brother Luo supporting us from behind," Ye Tianchen said as he tore off a piece of paper towel and wiped his hands.

"Good!"

Cang Lang nodded. He increasingly found Ye Tianchen, this guy, unfathomable. Normally, he appeared somewhat careless and even a bit foolish, but when it came to action, his logic was sound and he displayed a dominating determination to advance forward, regardless of who was in front or what dangers lay ahead.

"All right, I’ll go get the weapons in case there’s a major battle!" Luo Weike said.

"I only need a dagger," Ye Tianchen declared.

"This... All right!" Luo Weike was initially surprised, but then he nodded. He couldn’t fathom the depth of this young man’s strength, yet he found himself increasingly believing that Ye Tianchen would handle this situation well.

Around eleven o’clock at night, Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike drove out of the border town in an off-road vehicle, heading for the Black Mist Forest. If anyone knew that these three were venturing into the Original Forest in the dead of night, they would be astounded. The Black Mist Forest was full of fierce animals and numerous unknown dangers. Due to its unique terrain and rugged mountainous paths, it was easy to get lost there. Getting lost in such a primitive forest without water or food, even without facing any dangers, one could still starve to death.

Along the way, Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike discussed a lot. The situation was severe, and though all three were top experts, they did not dare to be careless since it was a premeditated event and there were experts from Japan’s Beichen One-Cut School involved. The opponents might have anticipated a rescue attempt and could potentially ambush them.

At twelve o’clock, the off-road vehicle reached the edge of the Black Mist Forest. It was already late at night; the temperature began to drop, giving a very cold, bone-chilling sensation, but for Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike, these three robust men, it was nothing significant.

The Black Mist Forest was a piece of Original Forest at this border area, with very unique terrain intersecting with the border’s soil. Whether it was the original jungle or the uneven mountain terrain or the high mountain streams, it was challenging for the state to manage. It was indeed annoying that even radar struggled to detect anything in this area.

After getting out of the vehicle, Ye Tianchen looked around and let out his superpower perception. He discovered that aside from some wild animals and birds quietly moving around, hunting prey, there were no human energy fluctuations. It seemed these people were hiding very well, and it was challenging to find them. To locate them, it was necessary to venture deep into the forest.

"Let’s go in. This group is not simple, everyone be careful!" Ye Tianchen glanced ahead and said.

Three flashlights were not necessary for Ye Tianchen, as he could inject his superpower into his eyes, allowing him to move in the dark as if it were daylight. However, he did not want to deplete his superpower too much. As a master of Beichen One-Blade Stream, he dared not take it lightly. A life-and-death battle was very likely, and preserving strength was crucial. Moreover, Cang Lang and Luo Weike were following, and their abilities were not inferior to his own. If there were any disturbances around, they too could detect them immediately.

Having walked less than two thousand meters forward, Cang Lang, who was leading, suddenly stopped. Ye Tianchen and Luo Weike, seeing Cang Lang stop, also stood still. In the Black Mist Forest, whether it was the danger brought by enemies, traps, or fierce animals such as tigers and giant pythons, caution was necessary.

Whoosh!

There was a slight movement ahead, as if something was fighting. It did not make too much noise, it was the sound of the ground being scraped.

Swoosh!

Cang Lang took a quick step forward, moving as fast as lightning. Ye Tianchen and Luo Weike were not slow either, closely following. When the three of them rushed forward to see, they all involuntarily gasped in shock. A giant python as thick as a water barrel was opening its gaping mouth, attempting to swallow a man in a camouflage uniform. The man in camouflage was already severely wounded, but he was not yet dead, his hands tightly gripping a knife lodged in the python’s teeth. However, from the looks of it, the man would be devoured within a minute. A mutilated corpse was already nearby, a grisly sight with limbs eaten and head consumed by the python.

Bang!

Before Cang Lang and Ye Tianchen could make a move, Luo Weike had already charged forward, throwing a swift and hard punch that smashed onto the python’s head, pressing it forcibly to the ground. The python’s eyes spurted blood-red fire sparks, and it swept its tail to knock Luo Weike sideways.

Luo Weike, a veteran who had faced many battles and had been active around the Black Mist Forest, had methods to deal with fierce animals. To strike a snake effectively, one must hit its vital point to kill it instantly. Thus, Luo Weike rolled backward to dodge the sweeping tail, and a dagger appeared in his right hand, accurately thrust into the vital point.

Gush!

Boom!

The giant python struck a large tree with its tail, breaking the tree and embedding the dagger fully into its vital point.

Roar!

With a scream, the python thrashed wildly, knocking down several trees and stirring up clouds of dust. This sight startled Cang Lang, Ye Tianchen, and Luo Weike. Such a fierce beast in the Black Mist Forest would undoubtedly mean death for any ordinary person who encountered it.

Bang, bang, bang! Luo Weike was truly formidable. As the giant python screamed and roared, he leaped up and delivered several heavy punches to its head, knocking its teeth out and causing it to spew blood. Cang Lang and Ye Tianchen were both startled. They hadn’t expected Luo Weike to be so powerful, to handle a giant python with such expertise.

Thud!

Another loud noise. Luo Weike was nearly bitten by the giant python, retreating several steps. The python seized the gap to escape, moving too fast to be stopped.

"Damn!" Luo Weike yelled, wanting to give chase, but the surroundings were pitch dark, and the python’s trace was gone, nor could its escaping sound be heard.

"What happened?" Cang Lang couldn’t help but ask.

"This type of giant python is called a Blood Python, which usually lives together with its mate. This means this python is still young, and the larger one is still behind. The habit of Blood Pythons is that once the female conceives and gives birth, it will kill the male. The female Blood Python is the most ferocious, incredibly large and frighteningly powerful. Letting this one escape will bring us big trouble, as Blood Pythons are highly vengeful," Luo Weike frowned as he explained.

Hearing Luo Weike’s words, Cang Lang and Ye Tianchen were both stunned. Knowing that Luo Weike had lived here for years and would not lie. He was well-versed in dealing with wild animals. Now that the snake had escaped, its mother would surely seek revenge, bringing them significant trouble. (To be continued.
