While Brandon was still working hard to barbecue a whole bison feast in Snake Valley, a group of people were exploring the jungle.

"Oh! What the hell is this place? It's full of leeches, mosquitoes and locusts!" A tall and pretty woman said, dissatisfied.

"Jenny, please stop complaining. Let's leave quickly, and go back as soon as you find something in this damned place." A white man complained in a low voice.

He held a machete in his hand and kept opening a road ahead. The grass in the jungle was too lush and there was no road at all. At this time, a black man said loudly to a brown-haired woman in her thirties wearing golden glasses, "Doctor, I don't know what we are looking for. If you don't tell us, how can we find it? Otherwise, we won't be able to find it until next year."

The doctor obviously hesitated and replied, "Okay! But you can't disclose it. If this information is leaked, not only will the bonus be lost this time, but you will also be fired from the company." Seeing everyone looking this way, the doctor had no choice but to stop prevaricating, but still threatened.

She took out an ancient scroll from the backpack she carried with her. The ancient scroll had turned slightly yellow and its material could not be seen, but it was obviously not paper. It could be the skin of some kind of creature.

She gently opened the scroll. There was a picture of a plant with some red flowers growing on it. There was a map and some words underneath. But they didn't recognize any of them, it was some kind of ancient writing.

After dozens of seconds, the doctor closed the scroll and carefully placed it in his backpack. "What we are looking for this time is a plant. This plant is very important to the company. If you can find it, you will make great contributions to the company."

A strong, bear-like Caucasian man said from the side, "As long as I can get the bounty… And I will only protect you for five days. After five days, no matter what the situation, you have to give me one hundred thousand dollars."

"Don't worry, Jack. The bounty will definitely be yours. You can buy a new car by then. It will only take five days." said the black man.

Suddenly Jenny screamed, "Mike! Don't move."

The black man stopped talking immediately. At this time, he saw a viper slowly crawling up his leg along his boots. He looked at Jack with horror on his face.

Jack drew out his long knife, carefully put the knife under the snake's body, and with a sharp lift, the venomous viper jumped into the distance. He stepped over, and with a flash of the knife, the snake was suddenly cut into two pieces.

"Oh! God! It scared me to death. This place is dangerous." The black man was obviously frightened and sweating from this experience. After a long time, the black man's mood stabilised, and the team began to move forward again.

"Jack, I heard that you used to be a boxer. Is it true?" Jenny felt safe around Jack and ran to him and asked.

"Yes, but I stopped doing it after an injury." Jack replied.

"Are those scars on your face all from that time?" Jenny asked curiously.

"No, I got them when I started working as a guide here. The danger in the jungle is far beyond regular folk's imagination. I have escaped death several times, and the scars are the souvenirs from those trips.” Jack said calmly.

At this time, Hansen, who was opening the road in front, suddenly exclaimed,"Oh my god! I seem to see something swimming in front of me, very fast. I don't know what it is. It's so

scary here."

"Are you blind? There's nothing there." Mike went up to take a look, then turned back to Hansen and said in a reprimanding tone.

"According to the map, we will reach the canyon in a few kilometres. After getting the

blood orchid, we will leave." The doctor obviously didn't want to give up.

The scattered team started to move forward again, but they began to be more careful. On the way they carefully avoided a leopard and finally reached the valley.

"It's not far ahead, doctor." Hansen said to the doctor.

"Well, just walk this way. There should be a cliff ahead, and that's where the plant is." The doctor instructed everyone behind.

"What the fuck is this?" Tom suddenly exclaimed.

“What happened?”

“I saw a huge snake skin in the grass. It was huge, bigger than any animal I've ever seen.” His face turned pale.

"How can there be such a big snake in the world?" Jenny questioned.

"Is this snake here?" Hansen said worriedly.

As they continued to walk forward, they found more and more snakes. Although smaller, the numbers of the snakes kept increasing.

Suddenly someone realised something. “Where's Mike?”

A strong wind seemed to blow out of thin air, before they could say anything. They heard Mike's screams.

Walking in that direction, they found that Mike had been wrapped around a giant python as thick as a thigh.

"Save me! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Someone please save me!" Mike screamed in terror. The body kept struggling, but his body was tightly entangled by the python and it was impossible to break free.

“Pleas-” Before they could react, Mike was dragged into the water by the python.

Jenny covered her mouth firmly, her eyes widened with fear. The speed of the giant python swimming into the water was more than the speed at which they could think.

The waves calmed down and turned into ripples on the water surface. A few bubbles came out as if the water was boiling. After a while, a pintful of bright red blood emerged from the water, and it became more and more homogenous with the water. The screams of Mike were never heard again.

"Mike! What happened to him?! Let's go back. This place is too dangerous. I want to go home." Jenny cried while sobbing. She was frightened by the scene she just witnessed . Several other people's faces also expressed hesitation.

At this time, they suddenly heard sounds around them, as if they were everywhere. Gradually the sound became louder and louder. There seemed to be something crawling in the surrounding grass.

After a while, a cobra thicker than an alligator crawled out of the grass. Before they could react, more and more snakes emerged from the grass, and they were already surrounded.
