Wang Laoliu only glanced at them before An'an and Xiao Chuan had already scattered to the sides, while the other female assistant had run the furthest.

Lina tripped and fell, falling to the back.

She was only seven or eight meters away from Yang Ningcong.

As he got closer, Wang Laoliu's eyes darkened.

His only task was to protect Yang Ningcong.

As for the others, they can be abandoned at this time.

He suddenly stopped and rushed towards Lina.

Lina was running forward crying, her face covered in tears and sand.

Seeing Wang Laoliu rushing towards her, hope lit up in her eyes.

"Sixth Brother..."

She thought Wang Laoliu had come to rescue her.

The next second, Wang Laoliu grabbed her arm.

Lina was pulled so hard that her body swayed to the side, and her voice changed.

"What are you doing!"

Wang Laoliu did not explain.

He pressed down on Lina's shoulder with his left hand, while his right hand slashed the short knife across her neck.

Lina's scream was abruptly cut off.

She covered her neck with both hands, and blood oozed from her fingers.

She stared wide-eyed at Wang Laoliu, her eyes completely blank, still unable to process what was happening.

Yang Ning's pupils contracted when he saw this, but he didn't stop.

They didn't even ask why.

Because the giant python was right behind them.

Wang Laoliu pushed Lina to the side and then turned around to pull Yang Ningcong.

Lina staggered and fell onto the sand, her body still twitching.

The smell of blood spread immediately.

The giant python immediately turned its head away.

The smell of blood on the ground is more appealing than the prey that is still fleeing.

Just as Wang Laoliu finished doing all this, Yang Ningcong rushed to his side.

"run."

Wang Laoliu's voice was very low.

Yang Ningcong was almost out of breath, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling.

"Sixth Brother... Sixth Brother..."

"Shut up and come with me if you want to live."

Wang Laoliu grabbed his arm and dragged him toward the reef.

Yang Ningcong's shoulder ached from being pulled, and he staggered as he asked, "Has it caught up yet?"

"Shut up."

Wang Laoliu did not turn around.

He pulled Yang Ningcong behind the rocks and used the stone trough to lower his body.

That spot could block the view and also slow down the python's momentum.

Yang Ningcong lay prone behind the rock, his chest heaving violently.

He wanted to cry, but dared not make a sound.

Not far away, the giant python had already reached Lina's side.

It lowered its head and bit her.

Lina's fingers scratched at the sand a couple of times.

Soon, that movement also stopped.

An'an lay on her stomach behind the sandpit, covering her mouth tightly with both hands.

She dared not call out.

She was afraid that if she made a sound, the creature would turn around.

Xiao Chuan huddled behind the broken coconut tree, tears streaming down her face.

Her lips trembled, and her throat felt blocked.

The other female assistant had long since disappeared.

The beach was eerily quiet.

The only sound was the dull thud of the giant python dragging its body over the sand.

Wang Laoliu squatted behind the reef, his eyes fixed on the outside.

This python can no longer be judged as an ordinary wild animal.

The body shape is wrong.

The reaction is also incorrect.

Its ability to detect human touch is too keen.

Wang Laoliu recalled the animals in the woods earlier; they knew before they did that this thing was about to come out to forage.

Yang Ningcong asked in a trembling voice, "Sixth Brother... after it finishes eating Lina, will it come back?"

Wang Laoliu did not answer.

His gaze had already fallen on An'an.

If the python continues to approach, An'an will be the next bait.

If you add one more person, making it three adults, it should be full no matter what.

Yang Ningcong followed his gaze and his face twitched violently.

He understood.

But he didn't say anything.

If Wang Laoliu hadn't killed Lina, then the thing in the snake's mouth would have been him.

"Old...Sixth Brother."

Yang Ningcong's throat was dry, and he kept his voice very low.

"When we get back, I'll really give you a billion."

Wang Laoliu glanced at him sideways.

They didn't say anything.

His gaze returned to the giant python and An'an, as if he were calculating the distance.

The giant python had already dragged most of Lina into its mouth.

Its throat throbbed slowly, its massive body pressed down on the sand, and a heavy bulge appeared on its abdomen.

Yang Ningcong took a breath, raised his head, and lowered his voice.

"Why didn't you just save me?"

Wang Laoliu looked at him.

"I saved them."

"I mean... why didn't you pull me out sooner?"

Yang Ningcong's voice trembled at the end.

Wang Laoliu stared at him for two seconds.

Yang Ningcong's throat tightened, and he swallowed back what he was about to say.

If it were before, he would have already cursed at him.

He's just a bodyguard, who pays his salary?

Who will feed him? But he doesn't dare to now.

Wang Laoliu just saved him.

Just now, right in front of him, he killed a woman like a chicken.

These two things combined made Yang Ningcong truly understand for the first time.

Money can buy Wang Laoliu's services.

But I couldn't buy his respect.

Even less could you buy his unconditional willingness to risk his life for it.

On the other side of the beach.

An'an slowly climbed up from behind the sandpit.

She looked at the spot where Lina had just fallen.

All that remained was a patch of tangled sand and a few dark streaks.

Lina is gone, and so is Acheng.

She covered her mouth tightly, fearing that Wang Laoliu would use her to feed the snakes next.

The little skewer also peeked half its face out from behind the broken tree.

She was afraid too.

He was afraid that Wang Laoliu would use him as the next bait.

The only person who can make Wang Laoliu stop now is Yang Ningcong.

She had to make Yang Ningcong remember that she was still useful.

As long as she remains useful, she will not be pushed out.

"Young Master Yang..."

She had barely opened her mouth when Wang Laoliu glanced at her.

Xiao Chuan froze, immediately shut her mouth, and covered it tightly with both hands.

The giant python swallowed Lina completely, its massive body coiling on the sand, its belly dragging heavily, its movements noticeably slower.

But it didn't leave immediately.

It raised its head, its dark yellow vertical pupils sweeping across the beach.

The python's forked tongue kept darting out, as it continued to scan for the scent of living people.

Wang Laoliu gripped the short knife tightly, his toes pointing towards An'an.

Time passed second by second.

The giant python paused on the sand for a moment, then slowly turned and slid towards the tree line.

Its massive body rolled across the sand, leaving a long and deep mark.

The branch was broken by the weight.

The leaves shook violently.

Soon, the dark brown figure disappeared into the woods.

The woods fell silent again.

Only the drag marks on the sand remained, reminding everyone what had just happened.

Yang Ningcong was still lying behind the reef.

He dared not move.

After another ten seconds or so, he cautiously raised his head.

"Gone?"

Wang Laoliu stared at the tree line.

"Um."

Yang Ningcong's body went limp, and he collapsed onto the sand, gasping for breath, tears and snot streaming down his face.

He survived.

……

On the cave platform, Lin Fan witnessed the scene below; the giant python seemed to be…
