Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 208 The Anaconda Disaster
Zhang Wuxun clearly sensed that two enormous creatures were rapidly moving toward them from more than a hundred meters behind them.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of the tree branch breaking under the weight was right next to me.

Zhang Wuxun suddenly stopped, swayed his shoulder, and swung the shotgun on his back in front of him. As he gripped it, he instantly cocked it and turned to fire three shots in one direction.

"Splash!"

A large section of the tree canopy collapsed with a crash in that direction, sending shattered bark and broken branches flying in all directions, clattering and falling to the ground.

Suddenly losing its support, a massive, brownish-blue python, as thick as a bucket, emerged from under the half-broken tree canopy, baring its fangs and staring menacingly at Zhang Wuxun and his group.

Clearly, the power of that burst of peanuts had made him wary.

When they saw the giant python suddenly appear, everyone was shocked. Panzi and the others picked up their guns and aimed them at the python, and without thinking twice, they started shooting.

Bullets rained down, the gunshots booming like muffled thunder through the jungle. The brown-blue python, which had been arching its back, was forced back into the deeper canopy by the bullets before it could even launch an attack.

Zhang Wuxun raised his hand, and the gunfire immediately stopped.

Panzi and his men quickly replenished their ammunition. Fatty picked up his RPG, looking somewhat eager to use it. His initial fear had subsided, and his face was full of excitement.

He winked at Zhang Wuxun, pointed to the bloodstains dripping onto the damp soil about five or six meters away under the tree. The bloodstains were smeared by the mud and water, turning into a small patch of pale red blood flowers. He then pointed upwards, shifted his feet, slightly bent his front leg, and swung his hand forward in a sword-like motion, assuming a posture as if he were about to attack.

Zhang Wuxun shook his head. It's not the right time yet. The python moves very fast, and if the fat man misses, it's just a waste of firepower.

Moreover, the other python quickly concealed itself after the gunshot, and Zhang Wuxun could not sense where it was hiding. If he used all his firepower to deal with this one, there was no guarantee that the other one would take advantage of his exhaustion to launch a sneak attack.

"So what do we do now?" the fat man asked silently.

This stalemate can't go on; cold-blooded creatures like pythons are much more patient than they are.

After thinking it over for a while, Zhang Wuxun made up his mind and said to the group, "Brother, let's distract this python from the left and right. When it pounces and bites, Fatty, seize the opportunity to hit it in its open mouth."

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "What about the other one?"

The fat man and his companions were shocked. "What? There's another one!"

Zhang Wuxun nodded. "So, Panzi, the three of you are tasked with staying alert and watching for any movement that might occur in the fan-shaped area around our six o'clock position."

"If there's any unusual movement, open fire immediately to contain it. Don't worry about wasting bullets," Zhang Wuxun instructed.

"understand!"

Pan Zi and the other two nodded, each gripping their weapons and keeping watch for any movement around them.

Zhang Wuxun and Xiao Ge exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their feet and silently flanked the large tree where the python had already appeared, moving from the left and right.

When they were about two meters from the tree trunk, Zhang Wuxun suddenly noticed something. He raised his hand, signaling his brother to stop and remain on guard. Then, he slowly moved to the right, circling halfway around the tree trunk. Between the brownish-yellow branches and emerald green leaves, a palm-sized patch of brown was gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Zhang Wuxun aimed at it and then gave his brother an attack signal.

"Bang bang bang-"

The moment the gunshot rang out, the small brown section of the snake lurched forward. The bullet struck the python's fine scales with a soft thud; the power of the shotgun was enough to pierce through the snake's scales.

The python hissed like a scream, and its huge head suddenly sprang out from the tree canopy, its gaping maw lunging at Zhang Wuxun.

Zhang Wuxun rolled away to dodge, but the python coiled its entire body around the tree. After missing its first attack, it quickly twisted and tensed, its powerful muscles bulging into an arch. With a slight turn, it attacked Zhang Wuxun again.

"Bang bang—"

At the critical moment, the young man fired two shots, knocking the python's hard head to the side.

The python twisted its body, dodging left and right, hissing menacingly, its venomous vertical pupils fixed on the two, ready to attack at any moment.

The two noticed that the python's bluish-black scales around its mouth had been torn and peeled off by their earlier barrage of attacks, and blood was dripping down its wide jaw.

This python had clearly gained some intelligence. It knew that the two little ants in front of it were holding something very dangerous, so it kept its mouth tightly shut and its huge, powerful tail swept towards Zhang Wuxun and Xiao Ge with lightning speed.

The two quickly separated, rushed a few steps, and with one foot pushing off the tree trunk, they leaped into the air. The python's giant tail, carrying the force of splitting the heavens and earth, slammed into the tree trunk with a thunderous crash, breaking a tree trunk that would take two people to encircle in half.

The young man landed with a backflip, and the moment his feet touched the ground, he drew the black gold ancient sword from his back and slashed twice at the python's head that was biting down. His momentum was fierce. The first slash blocked the python's attack, and the second slash directly hit the python's eyelid.

The python frantically tried to dodge, but with a twist of its head, its massive head, like a heavy hammer, swept through the air and sent the young man flying. Its foul-smelling maw opened wide, ready to bite the young man who had fallen to the ground.

Zhang Wuxun was startled and immediately pulled the trigger. As soon as the python opened its eyes, large patches of blood spurted from its bronze-yellow pupils. It let out a mournful howl, and its momentum diminished instantly.

Zhang Wuxun's bullet pierced its eye, leaving several bloody holes above its temporal bone. Perhaps its brain was injured, the python was completely enraged and charged at the culprit with its head tilted to the side.

Enraged, the python's attack intensified, like a heavy truck rumbling in, reaching Zhang Wuxun in the blink of an eye.

In haste, Zhang Wuxun flung his gun at the snake's head to slow its attack, then crouched low, pushed off the ground, and slid sideways under the python's head, skimming along the ground.

The python couldn't brake in time and plunged headfirst into the muddy mixture of rotting leaves, getting a mouthful of foul-smelling mud.

The fat man outside the battle zone had an RPG slung over his shoulder, but he couldn't find a good time to fire, which made him so anxious that he kept cursing.

The python arched its body and almost slid down from the tree; it was estimated to be more than ten meters long!
With a flick of the snake's head, a foul gust of wind swept by, and Zhang Wuxun, who had just stood up and hadn't even regained his footing, was sent flying and fell into the mud pit.

The python roared, its eerie yellow eyes gleaming with excitement. Its body, like a rocket, spewing mud, water, and bark, lunged straight at Zhang Wuxun, aiming for his waist.
