The little star from the Gobi Desert, handed over to the state, is hailed as a national treasure.

Du Feng was wearing canvas shoes, which looked sturdy, but the fabric was actually thin. The king cobra's fangs were incredibly sharp; they instantly pierced the fabric and bit his toes.

A slight stinging pain came from the sole of his foot. Du Feng was shocked and tried to shake the snake off, but the snake was biting him very tightly. He tried to shake it off several times, but he couldn't get rid of it at all.

The deadly poison quickly seeped into his bloodstream through the wound, circulating throughout his body. Du Feng's face instantly turned deathly pale. He struggled to reach out to Gao Yanzhou, his voice weak as he pleaded for help.

"Team...team leader...help...help me!"

Gao Yanzhou's reaction was to immediately take a step back and create distance between them.

With a thud, Du Feng fell to the ground, his hand still stretched out in vain, hoping for the mercy of his comrades. "Help...help..." His breathing grew weaker and weaker, but no one came forward.

Perhaps because the cobra was dead, the injected venom was not as potent as before, and Du Feng did not die immediately, but he felt that breathing was becoming more and more difficult.

He rolled helplessly on the ground, using his last bit of strength to try to prolong his life, but it was all in vain.

Shen Ruowen held Tiantian tightly, unable to bear watching any longer. She had no sympathy for these demons, but this way of dying still chilled her to the bone.

Sweetie in my arms stirred slightly.

Shen Ruowen looked down and saw that the girl had been peeking out through her fingers at some point.

After the initial shock, a cold yet clear feeling welled up in Sweetie's heart—

Live it!

"Aunt Shen," Tian Tian said in a breathy voice, her childish tone carrying a strange calm, "the bad guys got bitten. They're being punished."

Shen Ruowen was shocked and looked into the girl's eyes in disbelief.

In those eyes that were always filled with innocence and dependence, she saw for the first time a burning anger and a hatred that shouldn't have appeared at her age.

"They want to be the big bad wolves who eat little white rabbits," Sweetie said, enunciating each word as if reciting a natural law, "Big bad wolves never have a good ending."

The childlike voice, mixed in with Du Feng's dying groans, sounded particularly abrupt and eerie.

Gao Yanzhou and Yan Shijun heard it at the same time. A strange chill suddenly shot up their spines!

"Little girl, what did you just say?" Gao Yanzhou narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Tian Tian's face.

Sweetie raised her head, meeting his gaze without fear, and repeated clearly, "The big bad wolves will be killed by the hunters, one by one."

Before this, she was a weak, helpless, and vulnerable child. But when she was driven to the brink of despair, a power deeply rooted in her blood and dormant in her consciousness was ignited and awakened by extreme fear and anger.

She focused all her thoughts on hating these perpetrators, longing for them to be punished, and praying that they would never do evil again...

Perhaps it was this indomitable will that invisibly stirred those cold, vertical pupils beneath the sea of ​​sand.

Of course, it's also possible that they simply trampled on the snake's nest, thus incurring the most direct backlash.

Yan Shijun's Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his voice to say to Gao Yanzhou, "Team Leader Gao, this child... is indeed unpredictable. He can't be allowed to live."

"The plan for that experimental field..."

"Let's find another opportunity! Get rid of them first to prevent future troubles!" Yan Shijun was determined to kill them.

He glanced at the remote control in his hand, then looked at Shen Ruowen and Tiantian, who were standing close by. They were too close; the explosion might affect them.

He promptly put the remote control back in his pocket and raised the pistol again.

In the split second before he was about to pull the trigger—

"Wait!" Gao Yanzhou shouted sharply, his expression changing drastically.

Another strange noise came from the sand beneath their feet!

"Rustling... rustling..."

It was no longer a single movement, but a continuous expanse, as if countless things were wriggling and awakening simultaneously beneath the sand!

"Get in the car now—!!!" Gao Yanzhou shouted sharply, and without saying a word, he turned around, opened the driver's door, and jumped in.

Yan Shijun reacted quickly; seeing that things were not going well, he immediately jumped into the car.

Before the two could close the car door, the sand suddenly churned up even more violently!

With a loud "boom," it was like waves crashing up!

One, two, three... a total of seven or eight cobras of different sizes suddenly emerged from the sand!

They held their triangular heads high, flicked their forked tongues, and stared intently at the two people in the car with their vertical, icy eyes.

"Damn it! Where did all these ghosts come from!" Yan Shijun was terrified and used all his strength to pull the car door shut.

Just then, a cobra suddenly leaped up and rammed into him.

"Watch out—!" Gao Yanzhou exclaimed in alarm.

Without thinking twice, Yan Shijun used all his strength to pull open the car door.

With a loud bang, the car door slammed shut.

The cobra was a fraction of a second slower, and its body slammed hard against the car door with a dull thud.

"Drive!" Yan Shijun's voice trembled with fright. Gao Yanzhou's hands shook as he reached for the key. In that instant, five or six snakes began to crawl up the car wheels, while others slithered up the hood, trying to slip through the gaps.

Fortunately, the car finally started.

Gao Yanzhou jerked the steering wheel all the way to the floor and slammed the accelerator to the floor! The car body spun 180 degrees on the spot, and the huge centrifugal force flung all the snakes that had climbed on it away!

The tires kicked up a cloud of yellow sand, and the jeep roared as it sped off like a madman.

The remaining snakes were left far behind, and the two were finally able to escape temporarily.

Gao Yanzhou glanced in the rearview mirror, and the ruthless look in his eyes reappeared.

"Deputy Station Master!"

"What's wrong?" Yan Shijun was still in shock, panting heavily.

"Those two women must die! Now!"

Yan Shijun was taken aback, not expecting that Gao Yanzhou was still thinking about killing Shen Ruowen and Tiantian at this time. This man's reputation for being "cold-blooded" was indeed well-deserved.

"They're surrounded by venomous snakes; they definitely won't survive."

"Look closely! Those snakes don't touch them at all!" Gao Yanzhou squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

"What did you say?" Yan Shijun didn't believe it and hurriedly leaned out of the car window to look back.

Upon seeing this, my blood almost froze!

On the sand, more than ten cobras surrounded Shen Ruowen and Tiantian. Instead of attacking, they all turned their heads to face the direction the jeep had fled, adopting a guarded and protective posture!

In the center of the snake swarm, Shen Ruowen was futilely trying to shield Tiantian with his body, while Tiantian's small figure stood in the middle.

"This is weird...it's really weird..." Yan Shijun murmured, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Use a bomb! Detonate it remotely!" Gao Yanzhou decisively ordered. "We can't worry about the noise!"

Yan Shijun gritted his teeth and reached into his pocket for the detonator.

Extreme tension made his fingers move uncontrollably. As he groped, the cold metal cube slipped through his fingers and fell to the floor mat with a "thud".

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, and had to bend down with difficulty to grope around inside the bumpy car.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Almost a minute later, he discovered that the detonator was stuck in the gap between the seat and the car body, but the space was too small and it was extremely difficult to pry it out.

Seeing this, Gao Yanzhou had no choice but to control the car's speed and wait for Yan Shijun.

I dared not stray too far and lose the remote control range, nor dared I get too close and provoke the snakes.

The jeep drew awkward arcs on the sand.

Yan Shijun bent over, straining to reach into the seat seam to pry open the detonator. His posture was awkward, he couldn't muster any strength, and his back ached and felt numb.

At this awkward stalemate—

"Boom!"

Without warning, a thunderclap exploded in the sky!
