Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 109: Mission Outbreak

"Su Yan, how are we going to handle this task?" Yun Qing looked at Su Yan, feeling a bit speechless.

If we don’t accept the task, and fail to complete it, we will lose all the tools we have now.

Without these tools, how many days can we survive here?

"Once we accept the task, we have 52 hours. That giant snake is really not easy to deal with. We can try using bait to poison it to death, or burn it. Using force, just the two of us definitely won’t work." Su Yan touched the short crossbow in her hand; the moment she heard a voice in her head, she grabbed the crossbow immediately.

"But, we have no idea where this giant python is." Yun Qing bit into a piece of dried fish, unable to understand how she triggered a task just by having lunch with Su Yan.

"No point in worrying, since it’s a land territory task, we are within its territory. Such a big snake, if it’s active, surely wouldn’t be completely quiet. Since we accepted this task, we will do our best to complete it. The worst case, we lose all our tools." Su Yan was still quite optimistic.

After all, the worst outcome is already laid out, there’s no point in dwelling on it.

Yun Qing nodded, she was frightened by the image of the giant python.

About as thick as a small water barrel, over ten meters long.

Even without showing its attack power, just its size alone was enough to be scary.

Such a large snake doesn’t exist in their world.

"We’ve extracted quite a bit of plant venom, it should work on snakes. The problem is, snakes generally don’t eat dead things. How can we keep the bait alive while ensuring the venom gets eaten by the snake?" Yun Qing raised her concern, solving this would allow them to use the bait against the giant python.

They had bait; there was still a live goat tied up at the camp that could be used as bait.

"Simple." Su Yan looked at the goat, then said, "Surgery."

"We put the venom into the intestines, then cut open the goat’s belly, that would do it. This isn’t a difficult task, the key is finding the python’s location and bringing the bait to it." Su Yan explained her plan; after all, performing such a small surgery wasn’t an issue.

Yun Qing nodded quickly, now back to the most important question.

Where is the giant python that’s over ten meters long?

They’ve been active in this area for 26 days, running around everywhere.

Yet, they’ve never seen such a large python.

The difficulty of this task is finding the snake while avoiding its attack.

After lunch, Su Yan performed a simple surgery on the goat.

She stitched the venom-filled intestines to the goat’s abdomen; with pressure, the intestines would break, releasing the venom.

If the goat was swallowed by the so-called Calamity Python, it would definitely kill the Calamity Python.

So, the next task was to find the Calamity Python.

"Su Yan, are we taking the goat directly?" Yun Qing asked as Su Yan brought the goat out.

"Yes, it’s more convenient. If we’re lucky and find it today, there’s no need to come back." Su Yan explained and took her short crossbow.

Yun Qing nodded and followed Su Yan as they set off to find the Calamity Python.

"The territory task, and they have to deal with a python?"

"A python dares to eat wild pigs; are Dr. Su and Nurse Yun there to be served as food?"

"Not accepting the task means giving up completely?"

"Giving up means losing all tools; how to survive then?"

"Find and kill the python in 52 hours, that’s too difficult!"

"Are tasks exploding today? I see many groups receiving this territory task."

"It seems many teams are going to be eliminated soon."

"Such a high elimination rate, over a hundred teams in less than a month."

"Hope they can successfully complete their task, like when Group 77’s target came to them."

"Lucky, some teams have incredible luck!"

"You’re comparing luck with Group Koi?"

"Their good luck might run out; this task could eliminate them."

"Funny, I bet ten thousand they’ll clear this task and continue being lucky."

"No one can be continuously lucky; it’s unfair."

"Life was never fair; some are born privileged. Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean others can’t."

"I’m rather optimistic about Dr. Su. Hope they complete the task successfully."

"Let’s go, let’s check out Group 34; they have a Qilin to see."

"Qilin? You’ve got to be kidding?"

"Let’s go watch the excitement."

Then, a crowd flowed into Group 34.

Group 34 consists of two black individuals, each wielding a machete and wearing animal hides.

They squatted in trees, watching from a distance.

A few hundred meters away lay two animals resembling large lions.

Their bodies covered in scales; the scale centers are white, with black edges.

Besides, there’s a sharp horn.

"This beast is beautiful; that’s not a Qilin, it’s a Unicorn."

"Indeed, very beautiful and seemingly fierce." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Really difficult, looks tougher than tigers; those scales look hard to deal with."

"That’s why the two black individuals haven’t acted."

"In comparison, previous territory tasks were easier."

"These are some god-like animals."

"So tough, these aren’t familiar animals; how to deal with them."

"Seems the black pair might give up."

"Even without tools, they might survive; some tribes are still primitive."

"Not necessarily, without tools and weapons, meeting such animals, it’s still bad."

"Territory task indicates living within their territory; issues will arise eventually. If not solved, you’ll face them sooner or later."

"Just move to another place, like the seaside, where it’s safer."

"Safer seaside? Are you joking?"

"Check out Group 228’s video; see the monsters they encountered by the sea. If they hadn’t retreated quickly, they’d have been doomed."
