Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

The sound of a dagger slicing through the water came from Yu Feng's direction.

Yu Feng obeyed Lin Beichen's orders without hesitation and immediately carried them out.

However, this reticulated python was not without brains. Just as Yu Feng's dagger was about to pierce it, it quickly retracted its neck, and Yu Feng's dagger naturally missed its mark.

The reticulated python seemed to sense Yu Feng's murderous intent. A cold glint flashed in its turbid triangular eyes, giving Lin Beichen the illusion that it possessed intelligence.

"Wow——!"

The reticulated python suddenly arched its body and swiftly bit at Yu Feng in front of it.

Through night vision binoculars, Lin Beichen could clearly see its gleaming white teeth.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Beichen shouted in a low voice, but Yu Feng had no time to react.

The reticulated python bit down on Yu Feng's arm, its barbed teeth instantly embedding themselves in his skin. Then, the snake swayed in the water and finally coiled tightly around Yu Feng's body.

"What's the noise?"

On the shore, one of the men in the group of venomous snakes stood up and peered into the water.

"Oh well, whatever, there's all sorts of things in this river. You'd better not go near the bank at night."

The one who spoke was Scorpion. He seemed to know the situation around him very well, and he waved his hand impatiently at the man.

"Scorpion, when are those people you mentioned coming?"

The venomous snake glanced in the direction of Lin Beichen and Yu Feng. Because there was a large reed bed by the river and visibility was poor at night, it did not notice anything unusual for the time being.

When they started the fire, Viper and the others had seen crocodiles that were two or three meters long and all kinds of big fish in the river, so he didn't take the sound of the water too seriously at the moment.

After all, they had already entered Myanmar territory, and the people who had been chasing them earlier had no chance of catching up.

"My dearest Lamu, I've finally met you!"

Just then, an excited shout came from the rainforest of Myanmar, and soon after, several dark-skinned, short men carrying weapons slowly emerged from the forest.

These men all had fierce eyes, and they gripped their weapons tightly.

For no other reason than that several men in Viper's group were carrying AKs.

"Eagle, my name is now Scorpion."

Scorpion strode forward, gave Eagle a hug, and then pulled the smiling Eagle to Viper's side, introducing him with a grin: "This is the Mr. Viper I told you about, and he's my current boss."

Upon hearing this, the eagle's smile faltered slightly, then it carefully examined the venomous snake with a smile.

A moment later, the eagle said mockingly, "Scorpion, why don't you follow me to make a fortune? Instead, you follow this kind of person who dares to provoke those lunatics."

The "madmen" that the eagle was referring to were naturally Lin Beichen and his group.

The venomous snake frowned, clearly displeased, but being dependent on others, he dared not show it.

Meanwhile, Yu Feng and Lin Beichen, who were battling the python in the water, were locked in a stalemate.

Because the thugs were right on the shore, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng dared not make any big moves. At that moment, Lin Beichen was stabbing the head of the python that was biting Yu Feng with his knife.

"Crack!"

The scales on the reticulated python's head were exceptionally hard. Lin Beichen did hold back a bit of force when he stabbed, but the dagger still slid to the side.

If Lin Beichen hadn't stopped in time, the dagger would most likely have pierced Yu Feng's abdomen.

"snort--!"

The python seemed to sense the pain, tightening its grip on Yu Feng's teeth even more, while simultaneously constricting its body, causing Yu Feng's eyes to roll back in his head.

Seeing that Yu Feng was taking in more air than exhaling, Lin Beichen felt secretly anxious.

Pythons typically judge whether to take more drastic measures by observing the prey's breathing when constricting it.

If the prey takes a slightly deeper breath, it means that the prey needs to exhale the air from its lungs.

Exhaling air compresses the lungs, and the python will simultaneously tighten its body!

"Yu Feng, take small breaths, don't panic. The more you panic, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and then no one can save you."

"I'll open it now. Give me one minute, and I'll open it within one minute!"

Lin Beichen was afraid that Yu Feng would fall into a coma, so he lowered his voice to remind him and said encouraging words from time to time.

Only in this way will Yu Feng not give up hope of struggling.

Once Yu Feng stops struggling, the python will definitely drag him into the water. Rescuing Yu Feng from the water will be several times more difficult than when he is still above the surface!
"Bullets? Gunpowder!"

Suddenly, Lin Beichen slapped his forehead.

Bullets are the key to saving lives; we can't worry about anything else now!
Compared to Yu Feng's life, whether or not those people on the shore could be captured had become secondary.

Lin Beichen quickly pulled out a spare magazine, and without thinking twice, he opened the bullets, removed the bullet heads, and poured the gunpowder onto the python's head.

One... two... ten...

Time ticked by, and Lin Beichen could clearly see that Yu Feng's face had turned pale, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

Lin Beichen fumbled in his pocket and took out a box of waterproof matches, struck one, and threw it directly onto the python's head.

"call--!"

The gunpowder was instantly ignited by the sparks, and brilliant sparks burst forth from the python's head.

The python, in pain, instantly released Yu Feng and began to writhe in the river.

Lin Beichen grabbed Yu Feng and ran wildly toward the shore.

This shoreline is in the direction where Viper and the others are.

There was no other way; we couldn't worry about anything else at that point.

Snakes are extremely vengeful creatures, and if the python waits until it reacts, it will be another fierce battle. In the water, Lin Beichen is definitely no match for this python, and even with a gun, he might not have the upper hand.

Once ashore, the reticulated python will inevitably move much slower, so what's there to be afraid of then?

There were indeed venomous snakes and a group of people on the shore.

But Lin Beichen would rather have a head-on confrontation with the venomous snakes than with the reticulated pythons in the water.

The reason is very simple.

Humans fear death, but wounded wild animals become even more frenzied when they are on the verge of death.

Humans are made of flesh and blood; it's hard to say who would win or lose if a real fight broke out.

"Who?"

The group of venomous snakes had obviously also seen the fire that had just burst in the river, and even the most foolish person would know at this point that it was man-made.

The two gangs, who had previously been at odds with each other, suddenly turned their guns on the reed marsh where Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were.

"You have ten seconds to get out of there, or we'll open fire."

It was Scorpion who spoke. After Scorpion finished speaking, one of Eagle's men also shouted a few words towards the reeds in a dialect that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng couldn't understand, roughly meaning the same thing Scorpion said.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng naturally did not respond, as responding at this time would undoubtedly reveal their location.

Lin Beichen pulled Yu Feng to lie down on the spot, while he quickly moved to the other side.

Lin Beichen did this to draw attention away from the enemy.

Aside from some oxygen deprivation, Yu Feng was otherwise fine. As long as he had enough time to catch his breath, regaining his fighting strength would not be a problem.

"Da-da-da!"

Lin Beichen had only taken two steps when a burst of gunfire rang out beside him.

Countless bullets ripped through the reeds in the darkness, shooting towards Lin Beichen like meteors.

Lin Beichen naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He ducked and fired two shots in the direction from which the bullets came.

Because of the reeds blocking his view, Lin Beichen only fired two shots casually, not expecting to hit anything.

"Splash—splash!"

Lin Beichen heard the sound of water behind him. He looked back with his night vision goggles and could vaguely see a huge creature wriggling in the water behind him through the reeds.

Without a doubt, it must be that reticulated python!

“Da Da—!”

Lin Beichen fired a few more shots symbolically in the direction from which the bullets came, and at the same time, he lay prone in the reeds.

Bullets kept whizzing overhead, and the reticulated python behind him kept getting closer to Lin Beichen.

The reticulated python did not crawl towards Yu Feng's direction, but instead slowly attacked Lin Beichen.

This is not because the reticulated python holds a grudge, but rather it is due to the animal's instinct; compared to prey that has lost its vitality, an active one is obviously more threatening.

Yu Feng lay on the ground like a dead dog, and the reticulated python's instincts drove it to approach Lin Beichen.

This is truly a situation where we are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Lin Beichen took a deep breath, his mind racing as he considered a solution.

The number of people firing at me was clearly more than six or seven. If I rushed out rashly, I would definitely be riddled with bullets.

Reality is not as magical as novels and TV dramas.

A gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate within seven paces; this is the real world.

To fight seven people head-on in this place with no cover is simply wishful thinking.

If Lin Beichen makes the slightest move, he will be riddled with bullets.

However, Lin Beichen left in a hurry this time and did not bring any high-lethal weapons such as grenades. After all, when moving in the rainforest, being lightweight is the most important thing, and carrying grenades would not be conducive to tracking.

Time passed second by second, and the reticulated python behind him pushed over a patch of reeds and slowly swam toward Lin Beichen.

Because of its enormous size, it could not immediately appear in front of Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen had a sudden inspiration and quickly came up with an idea.

It's impossible to pinpoint the other party's exact location in the reeds, but if they fire at targets other than himself, Lin Beichen is confident he can determine their direction!
When a bullet whizzes past the edge of a body, it creates a powerful gust of air and makes a sharp whistling sound. This noise is extremely chaotic, making it difficult to accurately determine the direction from which the bullet came.

The reticulated python continued to writhe, and Lin Beichen subconsciously tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.

If a valid wound could be made on the reticulated python, it would surely writhe in agony. At that point, the unsuspecting thugs on the shore, seeing such a commotion in the reeds, would undoubtedly open fire wildly in the direction of the python.

Once the target is moved, Lin Beichen can take the opportunity to crawl to another location, letting the reticulated python take the damage for him. This way, he can calm down, carefully pinpoint the enemy's location, and then kill them one by one.

However, the most crucial question now is how to injure the reticulated python.

Shall we fire?

If Lin Beichen dared to fire a shot in the silent darkness, he would undoubtedly be providing the enemy with a precise target location.

Previously, after each shot, Lin Beichen would instinctively move to the side or lie prone on the ground. But now, if he were to shoot the reticulated python, how could he possibly escape?

Moreover, the other side isn't stupid. As soon as Lin Beichen fires a shot and a commotion comes from the nearby reeds, they'll realize that this isn't Lin Beichen's location at all, but rather that something else is going on!

"hiss--!"

Just as Lin Beichen was pondering a solution, a loud hiss of a snake exploded in his ears.

He turned around and saw that the reticulated python had coiled up behind him, ready to attack at any moment.

Its deep blue tongue flicked incessantly, and its coiled body was as large as an ordinary sofa. Through Lin Beichen's night-vision binoculars, its scales shimmered with an eerie, demonic blue light, sending chills down one's spine.

At this moment, the reticulated python, Lin Beichen, and the group of venomous snakes on the shore formed a straight line.

This is a rare opportunity! If Lin Beichen fires now, although he can't guarantee that he will definitely damage the reticulated python, it should be able to feel pain and roll around incessantly!

As long as Lin Beichen quickly rolls to the side after firing the shot, he believes the other party will definitely not be able to tell if it is him or not!
"Da-da-da!"

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen fired several shots in the direction of the Viper gang without hesitation, then quickly turned his gun around and fired a few more shots at the Reticulated Python behind him.

"Clang—clang clang!"

The bullets struck the reticulated python, sending sparks flying.

Surprisingly, the bullets couldn't penetrate its scales!

Although Lin Beichen's magazine was loaded with 5.8mm standard bullets, the penetrating power of these bullets should not be underestimated; they are much stronger than the 9mm bullets used in ordinary pistols. Yet, the reticulated python remained completely unharmed.

However, Lin Beichen didn't pay much attention to this. He rolled to the side, and as he expected, the reticulated python began to writhe in pain.

"Boss, did that kid get shot?"

The scorpion looked at the constantly wriggling grass and touched its hair.

Upon hearing this, the venomous snake frowned slightly.

If a person is shot, their first reaction is to be thrown backward by the recoil. Moreover, when the human body suffers a violent injury, the injured area does not immediately feel pain, but rather experiences a period of numbness.

This is because, in order to protect the brain from excessive stress, the central nervous system will immediately sever the connection with the pain nerves.

Logically, a person shot should fall to the ground immediately and lie still, not struggle violently.

Even if Viper didn’t know who the other person was, he didn’t believe that anyone could react so violently immediately after being shot; it was simply illogical!

"rifle."

After figuring everything out, the viper immediately waved to his three subordinates standing nearby.

Upon hearing this, the three men didn't hesitate at all and instinctively wanted to pull the trigger.

But as soon as they moved their hands, they simultaneously felt a chill on their heads.

They instinctively turned their heads and saw that the people pointing guns at their heads were Eagle's men.

"Brother Eagle, what are you doing?"

It was Scorpion who spoke, his face beaming with a fawning smile, as he reached out to press down the gun pressed against the head of Viper's henchman. (End of Chapter)
