Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Giant Python Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Giant Python Just as they were about to leave the forest, to make their descent along the mountain path, a rabbit suddenly darted out from nowhere, frantically streaking past them.
“Hey! A rabbit.”
Xuexue’s eyes lit up upon seeing it, and she reacted quickly. She shouted as she lunged forward, but in her haste, she forgot about the load on her back and nearly stumbled. Luckily, Big Bull was quick to steady her.
Taking advantage of the gap, the rabbit quickly darted away, and within a few leaps, it was about to disappear into the bushes, making it difficult to find.
“Big Bull, catch the rabbit quickly.”
Despite almost stumbling, Xuexue didn’t forget to call out to Big Bull.
“Wife, don’t rush.”
Big Bull bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground and casually threw it in the direction the rabbit was escaping.
“Plop!”
The rabbit collapsed right in front of the bushes, just a step away from making its escape.
“Ah! Hit it, hit it, Big Bull, you are so amazing.” Xuexue exclaimed joyfully, she threw her arms around Big Bull’s neck and cried out triumphantly.
She was completely unaware of Big Bull’s smiling lips curving up in secret, and he dearly wished more rabbits would appear, perhaps then, in her joy, Xuexue might even kiss him.
Xuexue let go of him, ran over to pick up the rabbit from the ground, turned around happily, and said to Big Bull with a smile, “Big Bull, look, it’s a big fat rabbit, almost ten pounds, how great!”
“Yes! This rabbit is indeed very plump.” As Xuexue left his embrace, Big Bull felt a pang of disappointment, but seeing her so happy, he couldn’t help but smile brightly.
“Let’s stew it tonight to reward Big Bull.”
“Wife, you’re really good to me!” Big Bull’s teeth shone with a bright smile.
“Hiss hiss hiss…!”
Suddenly, the bushes next to them shook violently.
Xuexue was startled, thinking it might be a wolf, and this was no joke; a slight carelessness could cost lives. She gazed intently in that direction, fully on guard…
After a flurry of movement in the bushes, a sleek, angular head emerged, staring with a pair of green, sinister eyes. After scanning its surroundings, it fixed its gaze on the rabbit in Xuexue’s hands.
“Wife, be careful, it’s a big python.” As soon as Big Bull saw it, he quickly flew in front of her, protecting her behind him.
“We’re so unlucky today, if it’s not wolves, it’s snakes.” Xuexue couldn’t help but wail.
“It seems this snake was chasing the rabbit.” Big Bull watched the python closely to prevent any sudden attacks.
“How do you know?” Xuexue was amazed, Big Bull seemed too divine, even knowing this?
“Didn’t you see that snake? As soon as it appeared, it has been staring at the rabbit in your hands. Moreover, when we encountered the rabbit earlier, it was running in a panic, probably being chased by this python,” Big Bull analyzed thoughtfully.
“Are you saying this rabbit is the snake’s prey?”
“It seems so.”
“I’m not giving it to it, this rabbit is now mine.” Xuexue said, holding the rabbit protectively in her arms, looking as if she feared the python could snatch it away.
“Hiss hiss hiss…!”
The python raised its upper body, its head held high and tongue flickering menacingly, as it slowly moved closer to Big Bull and her.
As it slithered out of the bushes, Xuexue and Big Bull were taken aback by its size; this was a huge python, at least weighing over a hundred pounds, a real giant.
“Such a big snake! Big Bull, maybe we should just give the rabbit back to it.” Xuexue spoke, shaking Big Bull’s arm weakly. There was no helping it, she was terrified of these cold, slimy creatures. Even though they were non-venomous, they were still frightening.
