Chapter 1341: Deadly Assault in the Primeval Jungle 6

The low sound, like a muffled groan, was barely noticeable amidst the tumult caused by the giant python’s violent thrashing.

After Li Mu fired that shot, his back turned cold; that kind of deadly attack suddenly struck.

Li Mu closed his eyes, pressed his lips together, and waited silently.

Then, he heard a soft sound like a muffled groan once again, and a sharp pain shot through his foot. Instinctively lowering his head, he saw the tiger’s head heavily pressing down on his foot.

At the same time, the giant python not far away that had been fiercely attacking moments ago, shaking the ground like a massive boulder, tumbled down with a thud.

The tail of the snake still lifted before it weakly fell, crashing onto the snow-covered ground with a loud bang.

The snowflakes and ice shards scattered became fierce weapons, as Bai Chenyao, gasping for breath and with a bluish tinge on his face, quickly stepped back, crashing into the tree trunk behind him, his legs trembling slightly as he steadied himself against the trunk.

Li Mu, who had been in a daze, snapped back to reality instantly.

"Sir?"

Bai Chenyao, clutching the tree trunk, had his camouflage clothing in tatters, with patches of bronze skin exposed beneath.

There were three or four slender cuts on his forehead, blood slowly trickling down, some even congealing on his cheeks.

Pressing his lips together, Bai Chenyao’s dark eyes slowly fell upon Li Mu.

"I told you I wouldn’t let you die in a beast’s mouth!"

Li Mu: "..."

From the moment he met the sir, he had never doubted his words.

Over the years, during missions with the sir, it was the sir’s precise judgement that had brought him back from the brink of death time and again.

Due to the extremely low temperature, Li Mu barely managed to pull out a smile, one that looked more like a grimace than a laugh.

Taking deep breaths, after slightly catching his breath, Li Mu quickly asked, "Could it alert Thunder Eagle’s people?"

Bai Chenyao squinted, a fierce glint flashing in his deep eyes.

Then, gently shook his head.

"Not to mention it’s far from his lair, wild animals deep in the jungle fighting over food is common enough."

Li Mu was so worried about alerting Thunder Eagle’s side that he had even forgotten their guns were equipped with silencers.

Knowing it wouldn’t alarm them, Li Mu sighed in relief.

Seeing the sir slightly lower his eyes, seemingly deep in thought, Li Mu also frowned, worried.

Going through this deep jungle, who knows how many deadly attacks like today will occur.

The deeper into the jungle they went, the more danger there was; now they not only had to avoid being discovered by Thunder Eagle’s people, but also guard against sudden beast attacks.

Even reaching Thunder Eagle’s lair, they might be utterly exhausted.

Thinking of this, Li Mu tentatively suggested, "Sir, should we take a different path?"

Bai Chenyao shook his head again, looking at Li Mu, whose face also bore scars, with a tightly furrowed brow.

"No need, the more dangerous it is for us, the safer it is for Thunder Eagle! This way, even if we emerge from Qi Mountain exhausted, Thunder Eagle won’t suspect a thing, giving us time to recover."

Li Mu nodded, always adhering to a standard principle.

What the sir says is always right!

No matter how perilous, no matter if the next second was a crucial moment of life and death, he remained unafraid!

Just hoping to complete the mission sooner, so they could return sooner.
