However, it was too late.
The snake king had already made its second attack. It did not bite Liu Yufan this time. Instead, it was aimed at Li Wei who was still running.
Li Wei turned her head around. She saw the snake head was rapidly charging at her. She let out a blood curdling scream.
However, screaming was useless.
“Kacha!”
Liu Yufan and Xiao Gu saw Li Wei was bitten by the snake king like a bug.
After struggling for a while, she wag completely swallowed by the snake king.
When Li Wei was swallowed by the snake king, they could still hear her hysterical cries for help.
However, no one could save her.
Now, everyone could only take care of themselves.
Director Zhang, Auntie Wang, and Tie Zhu had long disappeared. Only Xiao Gu and the frightened Liu Yufan were left on the scene.
The two of them fell to the ground, not daring to move.
They looked at the snake king in fear. It was several meters tall when it raised its head, its body was thicker than an adult, and it had the strength to completely crush an adult male.
However, after the snake king swallowed Li Wei, it didn’t attack Xiao Gu and Liu Yufan again, as if it had already satisfied its stomach.
The two of them sat on the ground and covered their bodies with the grass. They only revealed their cautious eyes as they stared at the snake king.
They looked at a protruding part under the snakeskin that was slowly moving toward the center of the body.
It was definitely Li Wei’s body.
Even after Li Wei was swallowed by the snake king, she was not completely dead. She was still struggling in its belly. However, with the corrosive liquid in the snake king’s belly and the lack of oxygen, she would not last long.
In less than half a minute, there was no movement anymore.
The snake king did not even turn its head and returned the way it came.
Xiao Gu and Liu Yufan watched the snake king leave. After confirming that the snake king had really left, they came out and hurriedly chased in the direction where everyone had left.
The snake king returned to the tree hole. The inside of the tree hole had already been burned beyond recognition.
If the fire was not extinguished in time, the entire tree would be set ablaze. At that time, the surrounding trees would eventually catch on fire as well
If there was a strong sea breeze, the entire forest would probably be burned down.
However, the snake king did not know how to extinguish the fire. The few people who had caused such a huge disaster had long fled.
At this moment, in the totally pitch -black forest, only the rapid breathing of a few people could be heard.
A lighter was lit up. It was Director Zhang’s lighter. The weak light illuminated the miserable few people.
“Look what you have done!” Director Zhang kicked Tie Zhu’s body.
Tie Zhu didn’t dare to fight back. He could only endure it.
Tie Zhu also knew that if he hadn’t brought them to the tree hole, they wouldn’t have met a nest of snakes, and Li Wei wouldn’t have…
He blamed himself and regretted of what he had done. However, when he first explored the tree hole, he didn’t see any snakes.
Auntie Wang painted heavily after running. She was taking a good rest to recover. Director Zhang kept beating and scolding Tie Zhu. Auntie Wang couldn’t help but frown and say, “It’s already happened. What’s the point of beating him here!”
“There are only the three of us left now. I wonder if Xiao Gu and Liu Yufan are alright!”
As Auntie Wang said this, Director Zhang stopped.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the forest.
The three of them hid behind the tree trunk cautiously and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
A familiar voice came, “Strange, I clearly saw Director Zhang’s lighter glimmer just now. Why is it gone?”
It was Xiao Gu who spoke.
“I can’t run anymore!” Liu Yufan sat down on the ground. The shock and long run just now had exhausted her to the point that her heart and lungs were about to explode.
She sat on the ground and panted.
Director Zhang and the other two followed after confirming that there was no danger before walking out from behind the tree trunk.
Originally, there were seven people in the group. Director Liu died, and now Li Wei also died.
There were only five people left.
Moreover, because they were on the run, their food and tools were all abandoned near the tree hole. It could be said that Chief Zhang and the others had nothing now.
They only had their own life now.
“Director Zhang, what should we do now? Our food is all gone…” Liu Yufan looked at Director Zhang with a pair of pitiful eyes, feeling sorry for the food that she had exchanged for.
They supposed to have enough food to last for four to five days. Now, they had lost all of it without even taking a bite.
Tie Zhu knew that it was all his fault, so he simply stood up. “It’s all my fault. You guys rest here. I’ll go and get your food back for you!”
They didn’t know how Tie Zhu got the courage. There was a group of snakes there in that tree hole, and the snake king who wanted to eat people.
“Bullsh*t! Don’t talk nonsense. Do you want us to lose one more member?”
Director Zhang shouted at Tie Zhu angrily.
Tie Zhu didn’t dare to speak.
Liu Yufan looked sad as he hugged Xiao Gu and cried.
“Then what should we do now? We have no place to live, no food, and no tools. If this goes on, we will starve to death on this deserted island tonight!”
The few of them fell silent.
What Liu Yufan said was the truth, and it was the most serious problem that they had to face.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Liu Yufan continued to sob, “Why don’t we go find Chang Yuan? He has a lot of food and a place to stay!”
When she suggested that option, Xiao Gu winked, indicating that she had said too much.
However, the shrewd Director Zhang and Auntie Wang had already heard her.
Director Zhang and Auntie Wang were thinking. No wonder Liu Yufan could find so much food. It turned out that she had gotten it from Chang Yuan.
