Hunting Wilderness: Starting with the Butcher

Chapter 28 Giant Python Attacks, Archery Mastery is Godlike!

With only three days left until the desert island survival challenge, Chen Duling and the others were unaware of the situation of the other two groups. However, she and Wu Yue knew that even if they did nothing for three days, they would have plenty of food.

This also means that the so-called desert island survival challenge can now be transformed into a desert island vacation mode. Compared to the somewhat tired cassava, everyone prefers the soft, sweet taro. It's both filling and delicious, making it the perfect substitute for cassava.

But as Yuan Linghan said, no one can predict whether a surprise or an accident will come first. She was originally in a pleasant mood, looking for edible wild vegetables near the depression, but Chen Duling accidentally saw a nest of eggs in a pile of dry grass.

Thinking of the free-range chickens the production team had previously released onto the deserted island, Chen Duling's first thought was eggs. But seeing the eggs in the nest, she felt they didn't resemble the eggs she remembered. Therefore, she specifically called Zhao Liying over to help her identify them.

Just as the two women were wondering what kind of egg this oddly shaped and sized egg was, they suddenly heard Yuan Linghan's urgent shout. Although they didn't understand what it meant, the two women still habitually looked at Yuan Linghan.

Unlike Zhao Liying, Chen Duling noticed that Yuan Linghan's gaze wasn't on her, but rather fixed on the swamp behind her. Curious, she turned around to look as well, and instantly witnessed a scene that almost took her breath away.

Just a few dozen meters away from her, a gigantic serpentine creature suddenly appeared in the swamp. Despite its enormous size, it moved incredibly fast, and Chen Duling could feel its gaze fixed firmly on her.

As she fell to the ground, she exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Those eggs...they're snake eggs?"

When Chen Duling collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way, Zhao Liying, who had also discovered the giant snake, couldn't help but gasp in shock. Who could have imagined that such a massive snake would appear on this deserted island?

Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream, through the camera drone, also saw this enormous snake. To be precise, it wasn't a snake, but a python. The production team's control room was thrown into chaos.

Although the production team hired safety officers, everyone knew that distant water couldn't quench immediate thirst. Faced with such a giant python, even if ordinary safety officers went to rescue it, they would likely be helpless. Only firearms could deal with this kind of python.

Realizing the show was about to go terribly wrong, the director suddenly roared, "What are you all standing there for? The security and medical teams, board the plane immediately! No matter what, make sure the guests are safe! Hurry!"

Unaware of the chaos in the control room and online, Yuan Linghan, though briefly flustered, quickly calmed down and silently ordered, "System, calculate all fan points and convert them all into attribute points!"

With the more than six million fan points he accumulated from participating in the show, he quickly converted them into over six hundred attribute points. Yuan Linghan, however, didn't hesitate and immediately said, "System, upgrade my archery skill to Grandmaster level, quick!"

Although his archery skills had reached the so-called elite level, Yuan Linghan still felt uneasy. He had been saving his attribute points for emergencies, but now they were finally coming in handy.

Skill levels range from low to high: Apprentice, Senior, Elite, Grandmaster, and Legendary. Proficiency can be increased through daily practice. However, rapid improvement requires consuming attribute points.

With nearly three hundred attribute points, Yuan Linghan finally raised his archery skill to the Grandmaster level. Still not daring to hesitate, he immediately added all the other attribute points to his personal physical attributes, preparing to go all out to deal with the crisis at hand.

Because all the actions were completed in the blink of an eye by Yuan Linghan, even Chen Duling and the others who were not far from him did not notice at all. After finishing these actions, Yuan Linghan quickly went to Chen Duling, who was slumped on the ground.

He reached out and pulled her up from the ground, lowering his voice to say, "Dudu, don't panic, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Though he didn't say much, it seemed to give Chen Duling immense courage. But even after being pulled up, Chen Duling still felt weak in the legs and couldn't muster any strength. Just as she was at a loss, Yuan Linghan, disregarding any need for propriety, directly put one arm around her slender waist.

After helping her to her feet, Yuan Linghan saw Wu Yue rushing towards them with an entrenching tool. He immediately said, "Brother Yue, leave this to me. You quickly take Sister Ying and Dudu to the shelter to await rescue, hurry!"

"Xiao Ling, I can help."

"Brother Yue, this isn't the time to argue about this. Sister Ying, come quickly and help Dudu up; her legs must be giving way. Remember, no matter what happens next, stay as far away as possible, quick!"

Wu Yue pushed Chen Duling, whom he was holding with one arm, directly into the arms of Zhao Liying, who also looked flustered. Under Yuan Linghan's stern urging, Wu Yue finally didn't say anything more and followed Zhao Liying to help Chen Duling leave.

The giant python, which had been resting on the other side of the stream, finally charged towards Yuan Linghan's location just as the three were about to leave. The python had initially intended to rush forward, but was intimidated by Yuan Linghan's imposing aura.

Seeing Chen Duling and Zhao Liying leave after invading their lair, the giant python finally couldn't hold back and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Linghan. Its terrifying aura sent shivers down the spines of the viewers in the live stream.

Countless comments flooded the screen like crazy, yet no one questioned why the live stream wasn't cut. Ultimately, survival shows like this are just about sensationalism and grabbing attention. These unexpected moments are impossible to fake!

Realizing the giant python wasn't going to give up, Yuan Linghan didn't hesitate and fired the first arrow at the approaching python. When the arrow struck the python precisely, the viewers in the live stream felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"No way? The arrow clearly hit its target, how come the giant snake didn't react at all?"

"We're doomed! The arrows the production team provided for the contestants can't even break through their defenses, what's the point of shooting them?"

"Brother Ling, run! If we don't run, we'll really become the snake's meal!"

"It's over! It's all over now, Brother Ling is probably doomed."

To the astonishment of netizens, even as the giant python drew ever closer, Yuan Linghan remained standing beside the python's nest, refusing to budge. Only sharp-eyed netizens quickly noticed that Yuan Linghan had changed his arrows.

When selecting his arrows, Yuan Linghan chose six light arrows, eight medium arrows, and six heavy arrows. Light arrows were mostly used for hunting small animals or birds, while medium arrows were used for hunting general prey.

Only heavy arrows, with their hardness and penetrating power, are specifically designed for hunting large prey. The previous test shot was intentional on Yuan Linghan's part; he wanted to use that arrow to lower the giant python's guard.

With the giant python less than twenty meters away, Yuan Linghan remained calm and composed. Taking a deep breath, he crushed the python's egg placed beside him. With a crisp crack, the egg shattered instantly.

This outrageous provocation enraged the giant python, causing it to raise its head instantly. But at that very moment, Yuan Linghan fired a second arrow. Compared to the first arrow, this one was lightning fast.

The giant python, its eyes wide with rage, collapsed with a thud before its head could fully rise. The reason was simple: Yuan Linghan's arrow had precisely pierced its eye, instantly turning it into a one-eyed python.

The python's head slammed into the stream, instantly creating a splash. This scene was captured on camera by a drone. From taunting the python by stepping on its eggs to blinding it in the eye, the entire process was seamless, as if it happened in the blink of an eye.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? The giant snake has crouched down?"

"My God! A divine archer! He's an absolute master archer! He blinded a snake with a single arrow; his archery skills are divine!"

"No wonder he used to be a butcher, his mental fortitude is absolutely incredible!"

"This is terrible, it's probably hopeless now. Please, let nothing bad happen!"

While netizens were in an uproar, the staff in the control room were also stunned, seemingly bewildered by the sudden turn of events. They had initially thought Yuan Linghan wouldn't be able to hold out until rescue arrived, but they never expected him to dare to launch such a fierce counterattack!
