"Damn strange!"

Enzo looked at the dodging Chen Wen, utterly baffled.

When did my shooting become this terrible?

Missing Chen Wen is understandable; after all, the distance was quite far, nearly two hundred meters at the time!

But missing a bird that’s less than ten meters away?

As Enzo frowned, readying for another shot.

The Mei Ke Brothers, startled by the gunshots, suddenly let out a cry of despair.

The sound was loud and piercing.

Even Enzo, with years of service, was startled.

My God!

What’s happening?

Instinctively, Enzo glanced at the Mei Ke Brothers, allowing Chen Wen in owl form to escape.

And in the next second.

Enzo was dumbfounded.

He saw the seemingly normal Mei Ke Brothers standing up, faces covered in blood.

From one brother, blood flowed from his nose, while the other’s eyes streamed with blood!

With the flickering campfire, they looked like demons crawling out of hell, sending chills down Enzo’s spine.

This...

Enzo’s mouth hung wide open.

He even ignored the intense pain in his left hand.

The older Mei Ke Brother opened his mouth, seemingly trying to say something.

But the next second, a torrent of blood gushed from his mouth.

His body went limp, collapsing headfirst to the ground.

The second brother was in just as bad a state.

He couldn’t even stand, as if his backbone had been extracted, slumping to the ground.

"This... this!"

Normally articulate, Habakkuk was speechless, mouth agape, for a long moment.

He was completely stunned.

Just moments ago, the two guards were fine. How did it come to this?

No, this isn’t an incident.

This is death!

Habakkuk felt a chill rising from his tailbone, making his head explode.

"Damn! Something’s wrong! That bird is the issue! Damn! It hurts!"

Enzo shouted loudly, cold sweat pouring from his body.

He felt as though every inch of his veins was being ignited, starting from his palm.

Excruciating pain!

Bird?

Habakkuk recalled the bird’s appearance, just an ordinary bird!

But seeing sweat constantly dripping from Enzo’s forehead, Habakkuk knew this time it was real trouble!

"Damn it, we must, cough, escape!"

Enzo said with difficulty, standing up from the ground.

He grabbed his weapon rapidly, decisively abandoning the camp, and dashed towards the direction of the car.

Habakkuk quickly reacted too.

This cursed place might have dangerous creatures unknown to them!

And now, hiding in the car was the safest option!

The front cabin of their off-road vehicle was enclosed, keeping larger animals out.

Habakkuk sprinted towards the car, quickly catching up with Enzo.

Enzo shouted, "You drive! My hand’s bitten, it hurts too much, I can’t drive!"

Habakkuk nodded.

In a panic, he headed straight for the driver’s side.

And just at this moment.

The Taipan snake ambushed near the driver’s area slowly moved its body.

Just as Habakkuk opened the car door and was about to step in.

The Taipan snake launched a fierce attack!

Its fangs tore through Habakkuk’s skin, injecting a mix of original Taipan venom into his body.

Habakkuk’s expression changed.

He realized he had been bitten!

Quickly pulling the bitten leg up, he examined his wound carefully.

Two perfectly symmetrical bite marks.

Habakkuk shivered.

He lowered his head, shining a flashlight on the ground.

Just then, he saw the Taipan snake relocating to a safer spot.

Habakkuk’s vision went dark.

He suddenly realized he was doomed!

As an animal smuggler in Australia, Habakkuk was adept at identifying venomous creatures.

Recognizing the distinctive body and the not particularly painful bite.

Habakkuk immediately identified what bit him.

He also realized the cause of the Mei Ke Brothers’ deaths.

It was the Inland Taipan Snake!

Though he couldn’t fathom why a snake from the central desert came here, Habakkuk was now hopeless, his mind unable to process any thought.

He had no chance of rescue.

"Damn it! Habakkuk! What the hell are you doing? Drive!"

Seeing Habakkuk sitting there in despair, Enzo angrily grabbed his collar, slapping him hard across the face.

Habakkuk snapped back to reality.

However, he didn’t drive. Instead, with a menacing expression, he looked at Enzo: "You bastard! Drive? To where? We’re doomed! You son of a bitch!"

Hearing Habakkuk’s furious words, Enzo was stunned.

Habakkuk’s outburst continued: "I told you, not to mess with Chen Wen! Coming deep into Kimberley is very dangerous, yet you insisted! Now look! You son of a bitch! We’re all going to die!"

Furiously, Habakkuk retaliated with a punch: "Son of a bitch! Let’s die together!"

After hitting, amidst despair, Habakkuk hurled himself off the vehicle.

He aimed to kill the Taipan snake that had doomed him before dying.

But as the Taipan snake slithered into a bush, Dahuang, lying in wait, let the snake climb onto his body, escaping quickly into the jungle.

Habakkuk saw Dahuang, and the Taipan snake on it.

Something suddenly struck his mind, and he shouted furiously: "No! This isn’t an accident! This is Chen Wen’s meticulously planned attack!"

"I’ve seen this Australian Wild Dog! It always stays by Chen Wen’s side! And Chen Wen is known for beast taming!"

"Damn, I overlooked this! No, it’s Chen Wen’s thing—how could he possibly tame a Taipan snake! Even making it coexist peacefully with wild dogs!?"

Habakkuk shouted desperately, then fell to his knees.

Realizing everything, he felt a tremendous fear of Chen Wen.

Is this even human?

Taming venomous snakes, taming wild dogs was already outrageous!

He could even make wild dogs and Taipan snakes launch a coordinated attack!

That bird was very likely his tamed beast too!

Otherwise, why would a bird voluntarily approach humans, even with a campfire burning?

"It’s over! All over! Hahaha..."

With that, Habakkuk collapsed to the ground.

In the car.

Watching the deranged Habakkuk, Enzo was utterly bewildered.

He even disregarded the pain wracking his body, repeatedly recalling Habakkuk’s final words.

Chen Wen... Chen Wen...

The name clung to Habakkuk like a nightmare, sending chills throughout.

Enzo also jumped out of the car.

He shouted loudly: "Chen Wen! Get out here! I know you’re nearby! You can hear me!"

"Face me in battle, you cowar..."

As Enzo shouted.

Bam!

A gunshot echoed.

Enzo’s voice abruptly stopped.
