Chapter 1337: Deadly Assault in the Primal Jungle 2

Bai Chenyao was just about to give more orders when suddenly, his previously indifferent face turned exceptionally solemn. His dark eyes gleamed with a fierce and sharp light.

At the same time, Li Mu also sensed something was amiss.

The reason he and the gentleman chose to cross this uncharted territory, getting closer to Thunder Eagle’s lair, was to catch them off guard.

But in the depths of the primordial jungle, there was nobody, and danger lurked everywhere because they didn’t know what awaited them in the depths of the jungle.

Along the way, they had encountered black bears twice, wolf packs five times, and were ambushed by tigers three times. If it weren’t for the gentleman’s quick reflexes, he might have already ended up in a tiger’s stomach.

Therefore, when he saw the gentleman’s expression, Li Mu slightly held his breath, his ears standing tall like radar, attentive to the movements around.

All around them, it was extraordinarily quiet.

This kind of quiet was like the calm before a storm.

Li Mu’s pitch-black eyes sharply scanned the surroundings, observing all movements, but he didn’t see anything unusual.

"Send a message to Zhang Ze, tell him that Lei Dafu has left the Qi Mountain lair, and he should watch for the movements of Lei Dafu’s little lover. As soon as they enter the surveillance area, capture them directly!"

"Understood."

Before he could say "Sir," Li Mu only felt a chill on his back, followed by that deadly danger approaching. He instinctively crouched to the ground, wanting to avoid that icy and cold sensation.

"Run forward!"

Bai Chenyao’s voice was low and coldly stern, allowing no refusal.

Li Mu had always been accustomed to following his orders without ever making a mistake.

Initially about to crouch down, he rapidly grabbed onto a towering tree beside him in an uncanny position. The next second, he noticed something wrong.

The trunk of the tree wasn’t as rough as usual, but rather wet, slippery, cold, and extremely icy.

As Li Mu wanted to run forward, he couldn’t get a grip, stumbled, and fell directly to the ground.

When he saw something that looked like two slender bamboo poles and a reddish-brown tongue, Li Mu felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Snake!

The gaping mouth of an almost twenty-centimeter diameter python... the tree he had reached for wasn’t a tree at all, but the snake’s body.

Seeing that he was about to end up in the snake’s belly, even with Li Mu’s quick response, it was already too late.

Moreover, he had no support points around him, making his last desperate struggle before falling, hoping to avoid the deadly strike of the python’s fangs piercing his throat, but it was all in vain.

The python on the ground waiting with an open mouth seemed to know he wanted to escape, or perhaps knew someone had warned him. Its massive tongue suddenly rose from the ground, actively attacking Li Mu.

In a flash, Bai Chenyao suddenly turned around, kicking him on the left shoulder with such force that Li Mu was sent flying.

At the same time, Li Mu heard a rustling sound not far away and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

"Sir!"

Li Mu, sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, was covered with snow and had thick, severely decomposed leaves all over him.

Turning around and seeing the gentleman battling the python, Li Mu quickly rushed over.

"Don’t come over!"

Bai Chenyao suddenly spoke, his eyes extremely cold as he glanced at him.

Li Mu’s steps halted, just as he was about to speak, he saw the python’s tail suddenly sweeping toward him.

His pupils shrank abruptly, and Li Mu quickly retreated backward, simultaneously bending down swiftly and taking cover behind a towering tree.
