Chapter 111: Battle Against the Python
The Snake Farm.
Snake received a message from Lu Jin Huan, informing him that she had successfully captured Zhou Jing Hui’s wife and child. A grin spread across his face.
“Chen Xue Wen, oh Chen Xue Wen, you never saw this coming, did you?”
“You worked so hard, yet in the end, you’re only helping me!”
“Ha, I should really thank you!”
Snake sneered coldly.
He stood up and walked outside, glancing at the python slithering around the living room in search of food. A sinister smile curled his lips.
“Don’t worry.”
“Your meal is on the way!”
“You better eat to your heart’s content!”
Snake let out a hearty laugh, shut the door, and sat inside, waiting patiently.
He had absolute confidence in his python. Anyone who dared to step into this house wouldn’t need him to lift a finger—his python would crush them to death.
To Snake, Chen Xue Wen coming to assassinate him was nothing more than delivering himself to the jaws of death.
…
Chen Xue Wen and his team entered the Snake Farm, following the route drawn by Leopard. They finally arrived outside Snake’s house.
The property was surrounded by several walls, and between each wall, venomous snakes had been released. However, it was winter, and the snakes were in hibernation, posing no immediate threat.
But the real danger was not these venomous snakes—it was the monstrous python lurking freely inside Snake’s house!
That beast was as thick as a grown man’s thigh and stretched five to six meters long—a true giant among serpents.
The sheer strength of such a python was terrifying.
Even the mightiest of wild beasts would fall prey to its constricting coils.
And against humans? They wouldn’t even stand a chance.
Even someone as formidable as Tyson would be nothing more than a snack for this python.
This was why Snake never bothered with bodyguards. No one dared to break into his house to kill him.
…
Outside the courtyard wall, Chen Xue Wen and his men paused instead of rushing in.
“Tie Zhu, bring the stuff over,” Chen Xue Wen ordered in a low voice.
Li Tie Zhu carried a burlap sack and immediately brought it forward at the command.
Inside the sack were items specially crafted by Li Er Yong’s blacksmith contact over the past few days.
Chen Xue Wen retrieved the strange-looking contraptions and began strapping them onto his body, one by one.
Barbed iron plates, connected by chains, were secured tightly across his chest and back.
Iron rings lined with sharp hooks were fastened around his legs and arms.
His shoulders were clad in iron armor laced with blades.
In a matter of moments, Chen Xue Wen was completely outfitted with these iron plates and rings, each bristling with razor-sharp barbs and hooks.
He gave the setup a few firm tugs, testing its security. Satisfied with how well everything was strapped, he exhaled slowly.
“That should do.” He muttered under his breath.
Right now, he was like a walking suit of iron armor covered in barbed hooks—impossible to touch without getting torn apart.
Li Er Yong’s face was full of worry. “Wen Zi, are you sure this will work?”
“That’s a python in there!”
“A snake that can swallow an elephant! That thing could eat an elephant whole!”
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “Have you ever seen an elephant?”
“If a snake swallowed an elephant, wouldn’t it just burst?”
Lai Hou frowned. “Brother Wen, this isn’t a joke.”
“That’s a python. You can’t take it lightly.”
“How about we do what I suggested and buy some sulfur? Snakes hate sulfur!”
Chen Xue Wen waved his hand dismissively. “That’s just a myth.”
“Snakes don’t like the smell of sulfur, but it doesn’t mean they fear it.”
“When I was in prison, I met a guy who caught snakes for a living. He told me all about it.”
He knocked on the iron armor covering his body and said, “Pythons have a favorite hunting technique—coiling around their prey and squeezing until they suffocate.”
“Haven’t you seen wildlife documentaries? Pythons don’t just swallow their prey alive. They crush them first and only eat them when they’re dead.”
“But now, with these barbed hooks covering me, if that python tries to wrap around me, it’ll rip its own guts open!”
Li Er Yong and Lai Hou exchanged nervous glances. Chen Xue Wen made it sound easy, but they were still deeply concerned.
“Brother Wen, let me wear that and go in instead!”
Lai Hou offered in a low voice.
Chen Xue Wen waved him off. “Enough, don’t waste time.”
“Stick to the plan—I go in first. You all wait for my signal to back me up!”
“As long as you come in on time, I’ll be fine!”
With that, he took a helmet from Li Er Yong’s hands.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to Lai Hou. “Open the door.”
Lai Hou gritted his teeth, sighed heavily, and stepped forward to unlock it.
Chen Xue Wen exhaled sharply, put on the helmet, and stepped into Snake’s lair with unwavering resolve.
Then, he shut the door behind him and moved towards the main hall.
Outside, Li Er Yong, Lai Hou, and Wang Zhen Dong clenched their fists, straining to hear any sounds from within. Their hearts pounded with worry.
Chen Xue Wen had spoken with confidence, but now that he was inside, he couldn’t help feeling a bit apprehensive.
After all, he was up against a massive python.
No matter how carefully he had planned, there was no predicting what would happen when facing a beast like that.
But at this point, he had no choice. He had to go all in.
He held his breath and stepped forward cautiously, scanning his surroundings with keen eyes.
A dim light flickered in the hall.
Chen Xue Wen examined the area closely but saw nothing unusual.
The house was eerily silent—so quiet he could hear his own heartbeat pounding in his chest.
Forcing himself to steady his breathing, he crept forward, his gaze darting around, scanning every shadow.
Each step was careful, deliberate, and filled with tension. His entire focus was on his surroundings.
Any slight movement, and he was ready to react instantly.
Nobody could afford to be careless when dealing with a giant python.
From the door to the center of the hall was only about ten meters, yet it took Chen Xue Wen nearly five minutes to cross that distance.
Along the way, he found nothing out of the ordinary.
Then, his eyes landed on a large cage in the corner of the room—undoubtedly the python’s enclosure.
But it was empty.
The python had been released!
Chen Xue Wen’s heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, he heard a faint noise above him.
He instinctively looked up—and there it was.
A massive python was coiled around the ceiling beams.
Its yellow eyes gleamed like eerie lanterns in the dim light, locked onto him with chilling focus.
Its tongue flickered in and out, tasting the air.
It was ready to strike.
The instant Chen Xue Wen looked up, the python lunged.
Like a bowstring snapping loose, it shot down from the beam, its gaping maw hurtling straight at him!
Chen Xue Wen had no time to react—before he knew it, the python had slammed into him, knocking him to the ground!
