National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Ethan's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected his newly adopted boss to have such a good thing!

Alcohol with an alcohol content above 40 degrees does indeed have a paralyzing and irritating effect on snakes.

but......

This is the [Ocean Era]!

"These mutated creatures in the water..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: these giant pythons might not be ordinary creatures.

He arbitrarily uncorked the bottle, and under Ivan's pained gaze, poured the liquid into the water, saying as he poured:

"It's alright, this wine is mutated too."

The strong aroma of the liquor evaporated even faster in the humid air.

After a few bottles, the sweetness of rum and the smell of alcohol immediately masked the fishy and putrid stench of the swamp.

Ethan, Klaus, and Aurora also came to help.

"Splash..."

Several streams of wine flowed into the river simultaneously, causing the lucky creatures that were splashed to stir. They tilted their heads back, their tongues twitching rapidly, as if savoring the unfamiliar yet alluring taste.

The bottle is empty.

Discard it.

Open another bottle.

"Splash—"

At first, the underwater pythons only caused localized disturbances.

However, as the alcohol concentration increases, their movements become visibly slower.

The python coiled on the oar was thrown back into the water with a "plop," splashing up a large handful of water. Finally, it turned upside down, its white belly exposed, and sank straight down.

[This alcohol is so strong? Can you give me a link? I want to give the boss a gift...]

What a waste! Such good ingredients!

We don't eat Master Liu's food...

[That's a python, not a snake! ]

[Isn't the python just a Pro Max version of the snake?]

The ship felt lighter, and the previous sluggish feeling disappeared.

"We can move now!" Ethan and Ivan exchanged a glance, then picked up their oars again and began to row.

The boat finally drifted forward again with the current.

The crisis was temporarily averted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You... just leave me behind."

A hoarse voice broke the brief moment of relaxation.

Everyone turned to look at Sita, who was huddled by the side of the ship.

"Vanessa... can 'see' me."

She said softly, "She can sense any place with Naga blood... With me by your side, you can't escape."

This is something that suddenly appears in my mind as the time since waking up lengthens, like gradually accepting inheritance.

Ethan glanced at Seddo, but ultimately didn't speak.

The other three just stared at Renyi.

The deck fell silent, with only the sound of oars cutting through the water.

He walked up to Sita, squatted down, and stared intently into her inhuman pupils.

"I promised to save them."

"We will definitely get it done... at least, we will try our best to do it."

Sita was at a loss for words, her eyes glistening with tears. Ethan beside her silently rowed even harder.

Why does it look like she's about to cry?

Renyi felt he should say something more to comfort her.

"Don't worry," he added solemnly, "If I really can't escape, I'll leave you behind."

"..."

After a brief silence.

"puff--"

Sita laughed in anger, and held back his tears.

Renyi nodded silently as he watched Sita no longer appear so lifeless.

My social skills have improved again o(*￣︶￣*)o.

Klaus, Ivan, and Aurora looked away in perfect unison, gazing in all directions.

...Just bear with it.

He's the boss.

The boat traveled a distance along the winding river, which grew wider and wider, but the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, still covered by dense canopies that blocked out the sky.

But that tranquility sent chills down one's spine.

"wrong."

Klaus suddenly spoke up; although he wasn't rowing, he had been holding onto the gunwale and observing the water.

"The water flow rate... hasn't changed in the last thirty minutes."

Logically, the closer a river is to its estuary, the wider the river channel, and the slower the water flow.

While the "Ocean Era" may defy conventional wisdom, some basic facts still offer valuable insights.

But this time, no more snakes appeared in the water.

Sita didn't seem to be acting strangely... so what's wrong?

"Dock," Ren Yi decisively ordered.

Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, it's always the right thing to do to leave the water's edge. This place looks like we're close to the estuary. If we encounter danger on land, at least we'll have room to split up and run away.

Ivan placed the bow of the boat against the slippery mud bank.

Klaus, retching as he trudged through the mud, helped Aurora carry Sedum down.

They didn't even bother to settle the ship properly, and carrying Sita, they followed Renyi towards the direction of the [Deep Sea Shadow].

But before he could run even a few meters, the sound of the river water rushing behind him grew louder—

"Splash..."

In the vortex, a woman...

No, it was the female snake that slowly rose up and gracefully and calmly twisted her nearly seven or eight-meter-long tail onto the shore.

Although this is the first time we've met,

But one thing is certain: this is Queen Vanessa of the Naga race.

"Oh no, we've been discovered... you little mice!"

Vanessa swayed her supple waist as she gracefully approached, her ethereal and languid tone carrying the sensuality of someone just awakened, her voice laced with the playful teasing of a cat to a mouse.

She always enjoyed the looks from her prey, whether they were filled with fear, amazement, or greed.

At this time,

The fact that all four men present were staring at her with intense desire filled her with immense satisfaction.

Look at the strongest one, his gaze burning as it lingers on her long, slender neck; even the hand gripping his weapon is trembling slightly.

Very well, I'm already overwhelmed by her beauty and power.

Meanwhile, the handsome man with flaxen hair on the other side stared intently at her gorgeous python tail, his lips still moving.

Oh?

Is he obsessed with her inhuman form?

He does have good taste...

As for the young man leading the group, although his features weren't as striking as the others, he was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, his and that familiar-faced "traitor's" eyes were firmly locked on her swaying waist as she glided.

male.

They're all the same kind of creatures, as expected.

Vanessa's lips curled into a seductive smile, and she was about to speak in her bewitching voice, announcing the final fate of these little mice—

"Sita..."

Ren Yi continued to stare at the point where Vanessa's waist and snake tail met, while speaking softly:

"Look at the opposite side, tighten your core muscles, use the muscles in the middle of the tail to form multiple support points, and use the tail tip as an auxiliary for dynamic balance."

Sita instinctively straightened his back, trying to imitate what Renyi said, and almost tripped Aurora.

Ren shook his head in exasperation.

This was the worst group of patients he had ever treated!

but......

At least he's alive; there's still hope.

"Study hard," he said earnestly, "and strive to become self-reliant as soon as possible."
