I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3740: Chapter 3731: The Giant Creature

After coming out of the secret passage, the two groups arrived at the Tiyama River.

Once the ropes were secured, they began to cross the river.

The entire process took about an hour, and everyone reached the other side of the river and then advanced according to the original plan.

Lin Yi marked three points on the map.

These three areas were key exploration sites, all located in the latter part, requiring a long journey to reach.

They traveled for ten consecutive days, encountering thrills without danger along the way.

During this time, they also encountered many wild beasts, but Lin Yi and Ning Che did not take action, leaving them for the other team members to handle.

With their current skills, handling the beasts that appeared in the first half was no longer a big problem.

They didn’t even need to join forces; two or three people could take care of it.

"From now on, we’re entering the latter half. The beasts here will be more dangerous, so everyone be prepared," Lin Yi reminded.

"Yes!"

Lin Yi led at the front, with Ning Che guarding the rear.

Pa!

Just at that moment!

A dark object fell onto Miao Xile’s mask.

"Damn! What is that!"

Everyone took a closer look and realized it was a palm-sized black beetle that had landed on Miao Xile’s mask.

Zhao Yunhu, who was nearby, grabbed the beetle, noticing its mouthparts with interlocking teeth. A bite could probably tear off a chunk of flesh.

Zhao Yunhu used a knife to chop off its head and then threw its body away.

The black beetle’s body continued to twitch, oozing thick green liquid, emitting a foul odor.

"This damn place is really incomparable to the first half," Zhao Yunhu remarked. "We’ve never seen such big bugs before."

"I feel like if we took this thing back, it could sell for at least a million," someone suggested.

While speaking, Shao Jianfeng caught a centipede from the ground, nearly a meter long, with a red body and black legs, and strange patterns on its back, which were chilling to look at.

"If we soak this thing in wine, one sip could kill an old man," Luo Qi remarked with a laugh.

"So this time out, besides completing our mission, it can also serve as training," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"This place is much more exhilarating than you can imagine."

Ssssss——

Just then, a strange sound came from the forest.

Everyone looked around cautiously towards the source of the noise.

Soon, the owner of the sound revealed its true form.

What emerged first was a gigantic head, with eyes as large as fists, flicking its tongue.

"A Jungle Boa this big, damn, it must be at least twenty meters long!"

As the largest snake species on Earth, the known maximum size of a Jungle Boa is only around ten meters.

But this Jungle Boa before them was at least twenty meters long, thicker than Sui Qiang’s waist.

Moreover, typical Jungle Boas are mainly brown with black spots, but this one had a red line running from its head to its tail, with a large tumor-like growth at its tail, looking especially disgusting.

"This damn thing shouldn’t be a normal Jungle Boa, it might be venomous," remarked Ma Tongliang, the deputy team leader of the third group.

"It’s up to you guys now."

Lin Yi and Ning Che retreated to the back.

"Team Leader Lin, you’re throwing us under the bus."

"Normal training is no longer enough for you. Fighting this thing is much more effective," Lin Yi said with a laugh:

"I already have a kid. If you don’t act, are you expecting me to take it down?"

"Haha, let’s get it!"

The two groups naturally dispersed, skillfully finding their positions and surrounding the giant Jungle Boa in the center.

At this moment, Sui Qiang cautiously moved a few steps forward.

"Let me take it on. You guys find the right moment to act."

"Don’t do anything rash, get back here," Yu Siying shouted.

"I want to test its strength."

"One swing of its tail and it can kill you, hurry back here."

Sui Qiang reluctantly retreated a few steps, and Ning Che smiled at Lin Yi:

"In the future, he’ll be henpecked, not at all like our Team Leader Lin."

"Listen to you, I’m quite obedient too."

"Haha..."

As they spoke, Ma Tongliang was the first to charge in, with Sui Qiang adjusting his angle and following closely behind.

The two groups moved in unison. Sui Qiang, as the vice leader of the first group, naturally had to take the lead and couldn’t let the third group outshine them.

The Jungle Boa was gigantic, and its strength was far beyond that of humans, but its movement was slow, giving the Central Guards Brigade an advantage.

Sui Qiang launched an attack from the side, leaping into the air and stabbing his dagger fiercely into the Jungle Boa’s head.

Despite the dagger being specially made and Sui Qiang using all his might, it only penetrated a few centimeters.

The giant Jungle Boa opened its huge mouth and whipped Sui Qiang away with a flick of its head.

This scene left the members of the first group stunned.

No one expected the Jungle Boa’s head to be so hard, and Sui Qiang’s full-strength strike had little effect.

On the other side, Ma Tongliang seized an opportunity, charging from the side and thrusting his blade into the Jungle Boa’s eye.

This time, it had a great effect. Wounded in the eye, the Jungle Boa roared, its massive mouth wide open as if it could swallow a person whole.

"Everyone clear out!"

Zhao Yunhu shouted and thrust a wooden stick as thick as a leg directly into the Jungle Boa’s mouth.

"Damn, did you learn that move from a movie?" joked one of the third group’s members.

"Haha, this is what you call practical application."

At that moment, Yu Siying followed suit, seizing an opportunity to blind the other eye.

Originally slow-moving, the giant Jungle Boa, now blind, thrashed around on the ground, launching indiscriminate attacks like a mad creature.

Its massive tail struck nearby trees, snapping them in half instantly.

As the trees toppled down, both groups retreated and then found the right opportunity to attack, moving in one after another to puncture it.

Compared to the third group, the first group’s superior weapons resulted in better attack effectiveness, causing greater damage.

Yet it still took over half an hour to finally kill the giant Jungle Boa.

Everyone was worn out and gasping for breath. Ma Tongliang approached Lin Yi.

"Team Leader Lin, can we also upgrade our weapons? We’re willing to pay."

"Don’t say that, it’s unnecessary," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"When we get back, talk to Xiao Bing. Compile a list of your preferred weapons and habits, and I’ll have the Research Institute craft them for you."

"Thank you, Team Leader Lin."

"It’s nothing." Lin Yi checked the time, "Rest for ten minutes, then we continue."

"Okay."

Soon, both groups finished resting and continued forward.

Another day passed, and they came upon a large river. The water was still, resembling a dead river.

Lin Yi checked the map and said softly:

"Once we cross this river, we’ll reach the first site to search. Rest for a bit, and in half an hour, we’ll cross the river."
