Chapter 426: Chapter 430: Survival on the Deserted Island (10)

The Snake Body, as thick as a water barrel, hung upside down from a towering tree that reached into the clouds, its body color blending seamlessly with the rough bark.

From a distance, no one could detect its presence.

At this moment, its cold, vertical pupils were tightly fixed on a quarreling man and woman nearby, hissing and flicking its tongue as the Snake Head suddenly stood erect and silently glided toward its target.

Liu Piaopiao, facing the Poison Snake, was the first to notice something amiss. Looking up, she locked eyes with the cold gaze of the Poison Snake.

Her body tensed subconsciously and a piercing scream tore through the sky, loud enough for the cheerful Su Li, who had climbed the tree to pick fruit, to hear.

Yue Bai was livid, pointing at the bloody scratches a woman’s nails had left on his face, he angrily said, "Are you trying to frame me? All I did was push you slightly, without much force. Was there any need for such a vehement scream? There’s no audience here..."

Liu Piaopiao’s pupils, shrunk to the size of a needlepoint due to fear, and her trembling frame, showed a terror that didn’t seem feigned.

Moreover, she was pointing behind herself.

Then, she turned around and ran for her life.

Sensing that something was off and feeling a twinge of concern, Yue Bai didn’t dare to look back to see what calamity had unfolded.

Based on his many years of watching movies and reading novels, in situations like this, those who look back end up dead beyond doubt, except for the protagonist.

Feeling a foul wind from behind, Yue Bai instinctively veered to the left, crashed to the ground, and with that momentum, rolled across it.

His decision not to look back was correct; otherwise, there would likely be two poisonous fang holes in his neck by now.

Seeing that its strike missed, the giant Snake Head immediately turned and attacked Yue Bai again.

Its cumbersome body kicked up a layer of dust and dirt from the ground.

Now revealed, the Poison Snake didn’t bother to conceal itself any longer. The thick Snake Body slithered in an S-shape across the ground, its massive, open mouth revealing sharp, glistening fangs.

This spine-chilling scene could have easily caused the faint-hearted to pass out on the spot.

The Snake Head was incredibly agile, striking rapidly one after another, attempting to swallow Yue Bai whole.

In this life-and-death moment, Yue Bai miraculously surpassed his own limits, narrowly avoiding the dense flurry of bites from the Snake Head.

Yue Bai’s lack of cooperation frustrated the Poison Snake, and a human-like ferocity flashed in its eyes.

If things continued like this, Yue Bai’s fate would be as the Poison Snake’s food, eventually being excreted as waste.

Drenched in cold sweat, exhausted, Yue Bai caught a glimpse of the frantically fleeing Liu Piaopiao in his peripheral vision and suddenly hatched a vile plan.

After all, as a man, he naturally possessed greater strength than a woman.

After once again evading an attack from the Poison Snake with an awkward move, Yue Bai’s long legs proved their advantage.

Within a few strides, he caught up to Liu Piaopiao, then pushed her back as she looked on in disbelief.

When Su Li arrived, following the sounds, he witnessed such a dramatic scene.

The giant snake before him was a familiar sight; Su Li had seen it in the original owner’s memories.

It was the creature that had swallowed the original owner alive. Those emotions the original owner had tried so hard to hide, not willing to let others know, even reluctant to recall for herself, were indeed...

When the original owner was consumed by the snake, her consciousness was extremely lucid, so she vividly felt herself slipping through the snake’s oral cavity and into its slimy stomach.

The highly corrosive stomach acid inside the Poison Snake’s belly eroded her skin, and it truly hurt a great deal.

More terrifying than the pain was the desperate, inescapable feeling of dread.

This torture lasted so long that the original owner felt it was even longer than her rapidly ending life.

Just before her consciousness finally plummeted into darkness, the original owner felt her body melting, every organ in pain.

Liu Piaopiao thought she was going to die. She harbored intense hatred for Yue Bai, who had put her in this position, and as her body was about to make intimate contact with the snake’s head, she passed out in the midst of her extreme fear.

Contempt and excitement flashed quickly in the eyes of the Poison Snake.

Su Li thought her eyes were deceiving her, to think she could discern emotions in the eyes of a cold-blooded animal.

The mouth of the Poison Snake opened even wider, and then...

At the critical moment, a sharpened wooden stake got wedged right in front of the gaping maw of the Poison Snake.

The sharp end pierced into the flesh of the mouth, forcing the snake’s jaws apart to a new extreme, incapable of closing.

The snake had to be really large; otherwise, a wooden stick as thick as a baby’s wrist would not have fit in its mouth.

Instantly, blood poured from within the snake’s mouth, and in pain, the entire Snake Body spasmed violently, thrashing around in mid-air like a wildly flinging rope.

After successfully striking, Su Li quickly retreated several steps.

The warm, foul-smelling snake blood splattered out, and Liu Piaopiao, who was closest to the Poison Snake, bore the brunt, her face and body covered in snake blood, creating a horrifying, blood-drenched scene.

Su Li, still shaken, patted her chest with relief. Thankfully, she had run fast enough, or else she would have had to change her soiled clothes, for which she had no replacement at hand.

Strike the iron while it’s hot.

While the giant snake was overwhelmed with unbearable pain and its small brain could think of nothing but the intense agony, a sharpened wooden stake appeared in Su Li’s mouth again.

A fish, not completely dead yet, was impaled on the stick.

It was the same stick Su Li had used to spear fish earlier, which unexpectedly found another use.

By the time the Poison Snake finally reacted and tried to bite the despised and vile "little bugs," an even more intense pain washed over it.

Its tail involuntarily stiffened.

Before long, the Poison Snake rolled on the ground a few times, slowly becoming motionless.

A wooden stake was proudly lodged in its vital seven-inch area, chillingly pierced through along with the silver-white sea fish on the stick.

Yue Bai, who had been trembling and hiding, cautiously watched the motionless Snake Body on the ground, and only after confirming its death did he tentatively step forward.

Seeing Su Li before him, calm and collected with a slight smile on her face, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Apart from her hair being slightly disheveled due to the vigorous activity, there was no sign indicating that she had undergone any ordeal.

If he had not witnessed it himself, and the newly dead Poison Snake was not lying beside him, nobody would have believed that the petite and delicate woman could have killed a snake several times her size.

Yue Bai had complex emotions—respect mixed with shock, fear coupled with admiration.

All these emotions, entwined together, made him gaze at Su Li with an odd expression in his eyes.

His still-trembling fingers touched his own neck. He openly betrayed her and yet was not speared to death by Su Li; he truly had to be thankful for her mercy.

"Xiao Li..." Yue Bai timidly approached, feeling both fear and love for the girlfriend before him.

His heart raced, thumping rapidly.

It was the sound of his heart beating.
