Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

Gong Lanlan: "How could I? I just..."

Ali: "Stop making excuses. I've never seen you get close to any man."

Gong Lanlan: "You! Okay, I just like him, so what?"

Ali: "Nothing, I was just talking."

Gong Lanlan: “…”

Ali: “Hey~”

Gong Lanlan: "What?"

Ali: "If you really get together with him, then you don't have to worry about money, right?"

Gong Lanlan: "What do you mean?"

Ali: "Did you forget? You said that guy's salary was $10,000 a day."

Gong Lanlan: "I...I didn't think too much about it. He and I are not in that kind of relationship."

Ali: "Can it develop into that kind of relationship?"

Gong Lanlan: "You've always been the one saying it, I never admitted it."

Ali: "Did the dog say that just now?"

Gong Lanlan: "I was just saying that... it doesn't count."

Ali: "Tsk~ If you don't want it, I won't be polite."

Gong Lanlan: "It's up to you."

Ali: “Really?”

Gong Lanlan: “Hmph~”

Ali: "When I get better, I will go find him. He's a handsome and rich man. You don't want him, but I do."

Gong Lanlan rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this nymphomaniac.

Chen Xi found a deserted place and released the shadow guard again. With the shadow guard around, he could sleep peacefully.

When it was almost dawn, the zombie Awei was controlled by the parasite and began to look for water. The shadow guard watched this guy leave the camp but did not take it seriously. As long as he did not harm his master, nothing else mattered to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tianshi was awakened by a nightmare and found that his cousin was missing, so he hurriedly looked for him around.

After all the trouble, Zhang Tianshi could only watch his cousin being dragged away by the python. The people in the camp were also awakened and packed up to prepare to leave. But the person was already dead, there was no point in being sad, and few people were really sad anyway.

We didn't even know each other before, so there's no friendship between us. At most, it's just a feeling of grief for the loss of another.

Led by Jeff, the group went into the water. If they didn't want to take the water route, they had to take a detour. Ali couldn't wait that long, and she was already a little weak so she could only rely on Gong Lanlan.

As they walked, they clearly felt something under the water, and suddenly, no one dared to move.

After a while, they felt that the python had left and continued on their way. Only Chen Xi, who had keen senses, noticed something was wrong. He turned back and saw a python preparing to attack Zhang Tianshi.

"boom!"

The python that pounced on Zhang Tianshi was knocked away. Zhang Tianshi then realized what was happening and ran towards the crowd crying. Jeff's face twitched a few times but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Tianshi caught up with everyone and thanked Chen Xi profusely. If it weren’t for him, he would have been finished this time.

Chen Xi didn't take it seriously and replaced the bullets again. However, his repeated killing of pythons made the group feel safe and they always felt that it was safest to follow him.

At this time, no one was thinking about catching pythons. They admitted that they were too naive before and thought that ordinary pythons would be easy to catch. But the fact proved that any random python could easily kill them.

The four people in the circus and the surviving Zhang Tianshi had only one thought at this time, which was to survive, even if they had to return to their country to beg for food. Forget about catching pythons or something like that.

It was time for a break again. Jeff found Chen Xi and the two went to a deserted place to talk.

Jeff didn't hide anything and asked directly: "If I want to use those people as bait, will you stop me?"

"As long as you can catch the Scarlet Naga, you can do whatever you want." Chen Xi smiled indifferently: "I just don't want them to die in vain in the python's mouth. A meaningful death is another matter."

"Just hearing your words is enough." Jeff finally felt relieved.

In the afternoon, the group hurried and finally arrived at Jeff's boat. They gave Ali an injection of antibiotics. When they were rejoicing that they could finally go back alive, Jeff raised his gun and pointed it at them.

"I saved her life, now it's your turn to do me a favor." Jeff said slowly, "We agreed before to catch snakes together. You want to break the agreement. I'm very unhappy."

Facing the gun, the five people were very scared. Gong Lanlan looked at Chen Xi first, thinking that only he could save them. However...

Chen Xi just stood there smoking as if nothing had happened, as if he had anticipated all these things.

Gong Lanlan's heart completely sank. She should have known long ago that a man of Chen Xi's profession could not possibly be a good person.

Gong Lanlan stared at Chen Xi intently and asked unwillingly, "Do you think so too?"

Chen Xi looked at Gong Lanlan and grinned: "It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is the agreement between you two."

"what?"

"Didn't you make an agreement with Jeff to catch the snake? I don't like unilateral breach of contract, so I don't want to interfere in your business."

"Then you're just going to watch him do this to us?" Gong Lanlan shouted in a sincere voice, "He wants to use us as bait!"

Chen Xi curled his lips, pointed at Ali and said, "She owes him a life, so she should pay it back with her life. There is nothing to argue about. She may not die if she is used as bait, but without medicine, she will definitely die."

Gong Lanlan closed her eyes helplessly: "Is this your reasoning?"

"Yes, that's how things are done in my world. Favors owed must be repaid."

"I don't believe it!" Gong Lanlan opened her eyes and glared at Chen Xi: "I don't believe that if it were you, you would accept your fate and become bait just for some bullshit favor!"

"You're right." Chen Xi nodded and said calmly, "Usually, at times like this, I will first kill the guy who needs me to repay the favor. If you have such ability, you can just kill Jeff and I won't interfere."

"you!!"

"I told you, this is a matter between you two and has nothing to do with me, unless you hire me as a bodyguard."

Gong Lanlan was completely speechless. She couldn't afford to hire him.

In the original novel, it was Jin Baliang who tied up the man, but now it’s Zhang Tianshi. He didn’t do it willingly, but Jeff is holding a gun at him, what can he do?

Zhang Tianshi was not from the circus and did not know how to tie knots, so he could only follow Jeff's request and tie all the knots into knots that were difficult to untie even if you pulled hard.

Gong Lanlan, who was good at escaping from secret rooms, was at a loss. This death trap was too tight and there were too many of them for her to solve.

Zhang Tianshi was at a dead end, while Jeff and Chen Xi were discussing the follow-up matters, mainly about who should be defined as the target.

Jeff is very greedy and wants everything that is a python, but Chen Xi disagrees.

"How much does a python weigh?" Chen Xi asked questions one after another: "How many pythons can you catch? How do you transport them back after you catch them?"

Jeff thought about it and realized that he couldn't move an ordinary python.

"If you ask me, our target should be the Scarlet Naga. The other pythons are useless. It is enough to catch the Scarlet Naga."

"But I'm not willing to do it."

"Think about it from another perspective. There are only so many baits. What if one gets damaged?"

"..."

"Besides, how much weight can your little boat bear?"

"..."

"The other pythons are coming. How about we kill them all and only catch the scarlet naga?"

"I..." Jeff hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "I still want to try it once, even just once!"

"Oh... all right." Chen Xi shrugged indifferently: "Then I'll give you one chance. If you can catch me, I'll catch you. If you can't, I'll kill you."

"Row!"

Jeff and Chen Xi are in a cooperative relationship. They are equals and Jeff cannot order the other party to do anything. So after setting the trap, the person pulling the rope becomes Zhang Tianshi.

Chen Xi just had to stand aside and watch the show leisurely.

In the middle of the trap were Da Jiao and Jia Peng. They were the first wave of baits. Gong Lanlan and Ali were tied up and thrown aside. They were the backup baits. If the Scarlet Naga could be caught without losing them, they could also help to have some fun.

Jeff went to work on catching snakes, and Chen Xi strolled in front of the two beauties.

Ali's eyes were seductive, and she was even thinking about seducing Chen Xi to see if she could find a chance to escape.

Gong Lanlan turned her head away without even looking at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter? Are you still angry?"

This question made Gong Lanlan, who was already very angry, even angrier. She turned around and asked back, "Shouldn't I be angry?"

"You should be angry, but the person you should be angry at is Jeff. It's not me who tied you up here."

"you!!"

"It's unreasonable for you to be angry with me." Chen Xi spread his hands innocently and said, "From a standpoint, I have no reason to help you."

Gong Lanlan was speechless at this point. The truth was cold and cruel, but Chen Xi was right. He was not on the same side as them, and he had no obligation or responsibility to help them.

"Okay, this matter is my fault. I thought too much. Now I beg you, can you help us?" Gong Lanlan asked calmly.

"What's in it for me?"

"What benefit do you want?"

"Hmm..." Chen Xi held his chin and started thinking. It seemed that there was really nothing he wanted.

Ali, who was standing by, seized the opportunity and provoked him again: "As long as you help us, you can do anything to me!"

Chen Xi then turned around, looked at Ali, and asked with a smile: "Anything is fine?"

"Yes!" Ali gritted her teeth and said, "Anything is fine."

"If that's the case, I can save you."

"No! It has to be all of us!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Chen Xi waved his hand: "I can only protect the people who are related to me. It can be you, it can be her, or it can be both of you."

Ali and Gong Lanlan both looked unhappy.

"Think about it for yourselves. Don't feel wronged. You should know that I didn't propose this deal. You came to me first. If you don't want to do it, then that's it."

Chen Xi walked away leisurely and went to the side to smoke.

Ali and Gong Lanlan huddled together and started whispering about the transaction.

Ali: "Why don't you just pretend to agree first, then regret it later."

Gong Lanlan: "You dare to regret it? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"

Ali: "What should I do? I don't mind having something happen with that guy. I'm not a virgin anyway. What about you?"

Gong Lanlan: “…”

Ali: "It's a pity that I thought he was good before. Now I can see that he is cold-hearted. If you want him to do something, the only way is to trade with him."

Gong Lanlan: "Then let's trade!"

Ali: "Are you really willing to give it your all?"

Gong Lanlan: "What else can I do? Only if the two of us are rescued, can we have a chance to save Da Jiao and Jia Peng."

Ali: "Honey trap?"

Gong Lanlan: "Let's give it a try. I hope that guy can help us because we serve him."

Chapter 96 Wrong Target

Ali: "You only laughed at me before, why are you more naive than me now?"

Gong Lanlan: "I have no choice. If I don't count on him, what else can I do?"

Ali: "Steal a gun! Let's both agree to him. I'll go first, and while I'm seducing him, you steal his gun. As long as we have a gun, we won't be afraid of anything."

Gong Lanlan: "You..."

Ali: "Stop talking nonsense, it's settled!"

Gong Lanlan gritted her teeth. At this moment, she hated Jeff and Chen Xi to the core.

Ali took the initiative to call Chen Xi, and when he came over, she responded on behalf of Gong Lanlan: "We both agreed to you."

"Very good." Chen Xi pretended to know nothing: "Then you go first."
