The pythons flailed around for half an hour, but fortunately, the off-road vehicle didn't fall apart. Feeling discouraged, they stopped their assault.

Inside the vehicle, Lin Yi and the others felt dizzy and weak, as if they were about to vomit out their breakfast.

Before Lin Yi and his group could catch their breath, the pythons began their second wave of attacks.

"That won't do, we can't keep going like this."

The pythons were too energetic. Even with a new off-road vehicle, they wouldn't be able to get out of this dense jungle.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that the dense jungle couldn't possibly only be home to the giant pythons.

[Beep beep beep, host successfully purchased the Infrared Life Detector, 20,000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been deducted.]

Having obtained the Infrared Life Detector, Lin Yi swayed left and right while pointing it out of the window towards the dense forest.

"Wow, there are several chimpanzees in the trees, leopards lying in wait in the bushes, and packs of hyenas behind the big trees, etc."

Lin Yi realized that these pythons were the overlords of this jungle, which is why when they appeared, other animals had no choice but to stay put, daring not to make a move.

[Beep beep beep, host successfully purchased anaesthetic grenades specifically for pythons, 20,000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been deducted.]

Lin Yi, while the pythons weren't looking, quietly rolled down the window and threw several anaesthetic grenades.

"Take a rest everyone, we've got a battle to fight soon."

"What battle? Are we going to take out these giant pythons?" Nan Yi asked curiously.

Lin Yi shook his head, signaling them to rest up for now.

After fifteen minutes, the anaesthetic grenades took effect, and the pythons began to tire, their movements noticeably slower.

Nan Yi, astonished by the sight outside, exclaimed: "Look, the pythons are getting sleepy. They're almost done for. We're finally safe."

Even though there was an oxygen supply in the vehicle, Nan Yi and the others still longed to breathe the fresh air outside.

Once all the pythons outside had collapsed, Nan Yi, without Lin Yi's permission, impulsively opened the car door.

At that moment, Lin Yi was completely absorbed in examining the map and unaware of Nan Yi's actions.

As Nan Yi's right foot touched the ground, a fierce leopard suddenly pounced out from the underbrush.

"Ah! Help—"

Before Nan Yi could finish, his foot was viciously bitten, and in the next second, he was dragged away.

Lin Yi, realizing what was happening too late, immediately pulled out his pistol and fired a shot in the direction of the leopard.

But the leopard was too fast, and Lin Yi couldn't aim properly.

"Help, help!"

Poor Nan Yi was being dragged helplessly by the leopard, without any strength to fight back, and within seconds, he disappeared into the dense forest.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, what should we do now? Is Nan Yi in danger?"

Watching this unfold, Nan Er and the others felt as anxious as if they were on pins and needles. They wanted to rush out to rescue Nan Yi, but with the pythons falling into a deep slumber, tigers, leopards, hyenas, and others began to emerge from the jungle.

They cautiously approached the pythons, constantly testing but also not daring to act rashly.

With Nan Yi's predicament as a cautionary tale, Nan Er and the others also did not dare to act brashly. With the predatory animals outside watching intently, they had no choice but to place their final hopes on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn't help feeling anxious at that moment.

"Ah, this is the consequence of your acting on your own. However, you don't need to worry. The anti-explosive pressure suit that Nan Yi is wearing, leopards won't be able to bite through it. I've said before, these suits can protect us for two days."

The priority was to locate Nan Yi's position. Lin Yi had already considered the dangers of moving through this dense jungle, so each suit had a positioning feature.

The outside was full of ferocious beasts like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards; it was not the right time to go out and rescue Nan Yi. There was a risk of becoming another Nan Yi.

"You guys rest up for now, rejuvenate yourselves. We'll need to rescue Nan Yi later."

While saying this, Lin Yi had successfully located Nan Yi's position. Nan Yi hadn't moved, which meant the leopard wasn't actively attacking him and he was in a temporarily safe state.

Nan Yi was temporarily safe, but the pythons were not so fortunate.

After several probing attempts, the ravenous tigers and hyenas, realizing that the pythons had no strength to resist, began fiercely attacking the pythons.

The former rulers of the dense jungle knew danger was upon them. Despite their sluggish state, they mustered all their strength and instantly killed a hyena that was moving cunningly close.

Sitting in the vehicle, Nan Er and the others had no intent to rest, watching the cruel spectacle unfolding before their eyes.

Lin Yi frowned, starting to question if he had made a mistake.

The dense jungle had already formed a stable ecosystem, a food chain. Due to his actions of knocking out the large pythons, he had given leopards, hyenas, and other predators a new opportunity.

If the large pythons were gone, these predators would establish a new reign. Was that really a good thing?

Witnessing the weak and tired pythons being bitten and left scarred by the tigers and hyenas, a sense of unease began to stir in Lin Yi's heart.

As Lin Yi was entangled in this dilemma, a melody from a flute sounded from afar.

As the flute's melody got closer, the tigers and hyenas, as if they heard a command, scattered and hid like startled birds.

"What's going on?"

Lin Yi curiously widened his eyes, wanting to see who was playing the flute that scared off these fierce beasts.

Soon after, another group of colorful pythons quickly slithered up to Lin Yi's vehicle, sniffed the scent of the car, then went over to the injured pythons, picked them up with their mouths, and hastily left.

Then, another round of flute music sounded, and all the pythons completed their migration.

Lin Yi watched the scene in disbelief, wondering who was playing the flute?

Why were these pythons so well-trained? Could it be that they had a master?

[Beep–Beep–Beep, host has successfully purchased a telescope for 30,000 Heavenly Bead Coins. The product has been placed on the off-road vehicle.]

Making use of the remaining daylight, Lin Yi quickly grabbed the telescope, looking in the direction where the pythons disappeared.

Sure enough, sitting on the head of a giant red and white python was a blonde-haired woman wearing a crown and draped in an animal hide.

The whole snake assembly followed the woman obediently.

'So these pythons really are trained by someone, no wonder they're so intelligent.'

Lin Yi's telescope followed the movement of the large python until it entered a cave.

Strangely enough, since the flute started, hiding away the fierce beasts, an hour had passed and they didn't dare to come out.

'Hey, could it be that you predators are afraid of the flute sound just now?'

Thinking this, Lin Yi immediately retrieved the mobile surveillance from the off-road vehicle and recorded the segment of the flute sound.

"Hehe, this sound will be our protective charm."
