"Captain, something's changed! Why are this giant ape and firebird attacking us?" one of the team members hastily said as he retreated to the captain's side.

  The captain wiped his face and said urgently, "This forest is too strange, how can two ferocious beasts run out at the same time? Think of a way to retreat quickly, this giant ape is too fierce, don't make a reckless sacrifice!"

  "Captain, you lead the brothers on the left first, we'll cover the rear!" The team member who just spoke shouted to their captain.

  The captain was not a procrastinator either. He immediately waved his hand and shouted to the team members on the left: "Things have changed, everyone retreat first!"

  Having received the captain's order, the team member on the left immediately opened fire while retreating backwards. The other party had just arrived and seeing this sudden situation also knew that things were getting more serious. Previously, a venomous snake had already caused them such trouble, now it seemed that this giant ape was even more ferocious. If they continued to drag things out like this, the group of people would probably not return.

  So when they heard the shout of retreat, they also retreated backwards at the same time. At this moment, only more than a dozen people were left in the rear, and the giant ape shuttled through the forest like a ghost, no matter how hard they tried to hit it, but all they saw was the leaves and weeds flying in the sky.

  "Roar!"

  Suddenly, a painful roar came from the giant ape. The firebird and I were shocked at the same time and rushed towards the giant ape. Only to see that there was a bloody bullet hole in the buttocks of the giant ape, which was still dripping blood. It turned out that it had been shot after all.

  My anger was suddenly ignited, and I turned my head to rush towards that group of people. Because they were staring at the giant ape at this time, I rushed into the thicket without being noticed by them.

  I quickly targeted one person and pounced on him: "Ah! Help!"

  As soon as I bit the man's wrist, he let out a loud yell and everyone reacted, pointing their guns at me and the man. However, they didn't dare to shoot, fearing they might hit their own comrade.

  My heart skipped a beat, I was surrounded. Although they didn't open fire, I knew that if I retreated from the man at this moment, I would be shot to death by their random gunfire, because the distance was too close and there was no time to dodge.

  Just saw the giant ape injured, head hot, didn't think so much and rushed up, now got myself into a dead end. Seeing that the person in my mouth is almost done, I believe that as soon as they see their companion die, they will shoot without hesitation.

  "Hurry...hurry up and shoot, I'm done for!" The person being bitten by me hadn't died instantly, but I had already injected a small amount of venom into him. He knew he was finished, so he told his companion to shoot, that way he could die with some value too.

  "Oda, don't talk nonsense, be strong, we can't open fire!" One of the team members said with some difficulty, probably because they had a good relationship. After finishing speaking, he wanted to rush up and save the person, but was pulled back by their squad leader.

  "Are you going to send yourself to death? Da Tian has already been poisoned by the snake, even if you go now it's too late. Moreover, going now would only result in losing another life. Don't you know how vicious this snake is? Let's wait for an opportunity and give it a fatal blow!"

  "Captain, fire..." The last words of this man in my mouth were weakly spoken, and then his eyes closed and he died.

  Seeing him die, I was also greatly alarmed. If these guys didn't care about their comrade's corpse and really opened fire, then I would have accompanied him to his grave as well.

  "Captain, let's open fire! We can't let Datian sacrifice in vain!" Another team member with a somewhat violent temper shouted to their captain.

  The captain listened, closed his eyes slightly, took a long deep breath, as if he was making up his mind. Although his team members were already dead, the thought of turning their bodies into beehives for this venomous snake made him feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

  At this time, I was only about five meters away from them. Although at this distance, if I rushed out, I could still bite one of them to death as a companion in burial, but if I really attacked again, they would definitely go crazy and shoot without any scruples. So at this moment, I was also betting that he dared not give the order to open fire.

  However, I underestimated the determination of the soldiers. The captain slowly raised his hand as if to give the order to fire, and my body also slowly arched, if they really opened fire, I would have to rush up again and die with the captain.

  "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

  Just as they were about to make their move, the sound of the firebird came from above, and those people were startled, momentarily forgetting about me. They immediately raised their guns and fired at the firebird. I cursed inwardly - the firebird had probably come to rescue me because it knew my situation, but now it was in even greater danger than I was.

  Rolled over and hid in the thicket, thinking that the fire could retreat, but the distance was too close, it didn't even have time to flash open, and heard a miserable cry, fell to the ground.

  "Grass!" My heart skipped a beat, it was shot, I knew it wasn't that it didn't have the ability, but it had nowhere to hide in the air, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't withstand the power of the bullet and was finally hit.

  I flashed over and landed beside it. By now, its whole body was covered in blood, staining its white feathers red as it struggled on the ground, looking very painful.

  I nudged it with my head, and it finally stopped, softly calling out to me, as if urging me to escape quickly. My heart ached, blood surged instantly, scales all over my body contracted, and a killing intent was released.

  The phoenix, seeing the situation, immediately used its claws to kick me hard, as if telling me to calm down. At this moment, escaping with my life was crucial, but I had already become unable to calm down, and my eyes had turned bloodshot.

  I let out a long whistle, which startled the firebird. This was not a sound that any snake species could make, and it had an aura of a dragon emerging from the sea.

  "Whoosh!" I sprang up from beside the Firebird like lightning, charging towards that group of people. However, after seeing the Firebird get hit, they didn't dare to stay any longer and had already quickly retreated tens of meters away during this time.

  But I, who was close to madness at that time, had all my blood rushing up, and in just a few breaths, I caught up with them. Without caring about anything, I targeted one of them, pounced on him, and bit his neck fiercely. All I heard was a "crack" sound, and the person didn't even have time to scream before he died.

  The people in front reacted and shouted: "We're done for! The snake has caught up with us!"

  After finishing, he aimed the gun at me and fired immediately. I was already out of control at this time, where I was still afraid of their guns. A flash dodged quickly into the woods, and then another person pounced from the side. At this time, my tail hurt, I knew I had been shot, but I didn't care.

  At this time, those people had already seen that I was crazy and were shocked in their hearts. They didn't care if the captain had given an order or not, and directly opened fire on me, even if it meant turning the comrade I was biting into a hornet's nest.

  "Hurry up, hurry up!" The captain at this time also couldn't care about these things, and saw that I was going crazy at this moment. He hastily called his own team members to retreat, otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive.

  One side fired guns and quickly retreated, until they withdrew over a hundred meters away, when they had already been killed by me four team members, unfortunately the other small teams in front had already retreated far away, and there was no time to support them.

  "Roar!"

  Suddenly, I heard the giant ape's roar, and my heart was shocked again. What happened? I didn't care about them anymore, I stared at them fiercely, remembered their appearance, then plunged into the jungle and quickly swam towards the giant ape.

  One of the team members let out a roar and said: "Have you guys noticed that snake's eyes seem just like human eyes?"

  "The captain said: 'Don't worry about it for now, let's retreat quickly!' After that, he led all the team members to retreat backwards."

  "Haha, boss, this time's poaching is really awesome! Didn't expect those soldiers to help us out so much, wounding the giant ape. Only a pity about the firebird, it's been shot to such an extent, probably won't make it!" At this moment, beside the giant ape, a slender man in black clothes said with satisfaction.

  "Haha! That's true, but that group of people was also quite useless. We followed them for half a day and so many people died just to lure away that snake. But thinking about it, that snake is indeed a fierce beast. If we could get our hands on it, I reckon it would sell for a good price too!" Another sturdy man said, seemingly the leader of the group.

  "Be content, boss. Just this giant ape alone, if transported abroad, would be enough for us to eat for a lifetime. This thing is a ferocious beast! I didn't think these soldiers would let us have it so cheaply." Another person beside him also said with satisfaction.

  At this moment, I rushed over here crazily and just saw this scene. Those people also found me and immediately became alert: "Who is it? Come out!"
