“Careful!”
Seeing a snake slithering toward Alex, Kathleen quickly stabbed it with the knife in her hand.
The snake started spasming as Kathleen cut it cleanly in half.
Alex heaved a sigh of relief. “Luckily, you had noticed it quickly. Otherwise, I would have died in prison or been bitten by a snake. Why am I so unlucky!”
“How can you still joke around at a time like this?” Jimmy heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that they had walked into a nest of snakes.
The nest of snakes slithered toward them.
The snakes were of different colors, varying in size. They looked terrifying as they flickered their tongues.
Furthermore, the snakes were even faster than before. They were scattered all over the place, flicking out their tongues and surrounding the three of them.
Alex had the most to say. He immediately jumped up. “It’s over. These snakes are too terrifying. We can’t even escape!”
“Don’t jinx it, shut up!” Jimmy’s expression tensed up as he stood in front of Kathleen, protecting her. “Boss, don’t be afraid. We’re Here!”
Alex nodded repeatedly. “Right. They would have to eat us first to get to you. You can take the opportunity to escape!”
Kathleen glanced at the two of them as her expression tensed. “Do you know what snakes are afraid of?”
“What are you afraid of?”
“Wine? Alcohol?” There was a question mark above Alex’s head. “I heard that snakes would get drunk if they drank alcohol. However, we don’t have alcohol!”
Jimmy’s brows twitched, and he punched Alex. “You’re really not scared. How could you still joke around at a time like this!”
“There’s no alcohol here. There’s only fire!”
‘As Kathleen spoke, she took out a lighter from her bag. She lit a piece of clothing and threw it to the ground.
The clothing was flammable, and as soon as it caught fire, it immediately burst into flames.
‘When the snakes saw the fire, they immediately retreated.
Through the light from the flashlight, Alex saw the group of snakes was so frightened by the fire. He heaved a sigh of relief. “You did it! We are sav
“Not yet!”
Although the snakes had retreated, they had not given up.
They were scattered all over the place, surrounding the three of them.
Seeing this, Kathleen lit up three more pieces of clothing and threw the three pieces of clothing onto the ground. Kathleen looked at the three of them and said, “Let’s go.”
The fire surrounded the three of them in a circle, protecting them.
Alex pointed at the gap in the circle of fire and said, “Boss, you missed a spot.”
Jimmy smacked his head. “Idiot, can’t you see that she had left it untouched because it is facing the road ahead? It was our escape path!”
“Oh, as expected of our boss, she’s really smart!”
The three pieces of clothes started off as a small flame. However, the surrounding brunches and leaves soon caught on fire. The fire started burning along the leaves in the forest, scaring the group of snakes, and they fled in all directions.
Kathleen took this opportunity to grab their hands and ran towards the winding path in front of them.
Although Jimmy and Alex were injured, they ran like rabbits because they were afraid of being bitten by the snakes.
The three of them ran to a river.
Feeling that they were safe, the three of them let out a sigh of relief.
Kathleen looked at the river in front of her. It was not a river, but rather, it should be called a large lake.
The lake was like a circular plate. The water’s surface rippled, reflecting the dim starlight.
When Alex saw the lake, he felt like someone who was lost in a desert that had finally found water. He cared about nothing else and drank the water from the lake.
Jimmy was already mentally and physically exhausted. He looked at the clear lake water and also drank it.
Kathleen frowned. “Are you guys thirsty? I have water!”
She quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag and handed it to the two of them.
Alex and Jimmy shook their heads. “Boss, you can drink it. I don’t know when we’ll be able to leave this forest. Save some water for yourself!”
“We’re two tough guys. It doesn’t matter what we drink!”
Kathleen’s heart skipped a beat as she felt warmth and sour.
In order to help them escape, she had brought some snacks and water for the road.
However, the two of them had only eaten and drank a little because they wanted to leave the rest for Kathleen.
Kathleen swore that she would definitely bring the two of them out of this large forest and let the two of them live on.
‘After the three of them ate some e food, Kathleen brought Jimmy and Alex to continue their journey.
This large forest was at the border of Murica and Hillfordl.
The ancient trees towered into the sky, blocking out the sun. Moreover, wild beasts frequently appeared, and almost no one outside dared to set foot in this place.
However, this was the route they could take to reach their destination without crossing water or air. It was also the best path for their escape.
‘As long as the three of them passed through this large forest, they would be able to escape from the Hillford police.
Then, both Jimmy and Alex would be safe.
Kathleen glanced at her watch. It was already three o’clock in the morning.
It was currently the darkest time of the day. The wind whistled by her ears. The narrow forest path was winding and twisted, looking eerie and terrifying.
The towering trees blocked the moonlight, letting only a little light in.
As the path was extremely difficult, Jimmy and Alex held onto Kathleen from both sides as the three of them slowly walked through the forest.
Suddenly, he heard a scratching sound. Alex suddenly raised his head and saw that it was a little squirrel, and he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Had I walked into a 200?” From the moment they entered the forest, they saw snakes, squirrels, cockroaches, little rabbits, and monkeys.
Kathleen glanced at him and laughed lightly. “Isn’t it nice you get to visit the zoo for free? You don’t even need a ticket!”
“Go to Hell. How could you still make sarcastic remarks at this time.”
Alex looked at Kathleen’s tensed face and frowned. “Boss, what’s wrong? It’s just a squirrel. Don’t be afraid!”
“That’s not right. Did you guys hear something?”
“What was that sound!” Just as the two of them were thinking about it, they suddenly heard a wolf howl.
The sound came closer and closer. The terrifying howl scared the small animals around them, and they immediately fled in all directions.
Alex followed the sound and looked over. He was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
Awolf appeared on the grass less than 30 meters away from the three.
This wolf had a bloody mouth and extremely sharp teeth. It stared at the three of them.
A hint of fear flashed across Jimmy’s black eyes. “Why do we have such rotten luck? First snakes, now wolves!”
Kathleen said in a low voice, “Keep quiet. Wolves live in packs. Don’t attract more attention!”
“One wolf is already scary enough. It actually has companions!”
Alex was so scared that his legs were trembling, and he almost fainted.
Wolves were scary, and hungry wolves were even scarier.
The wolf in front of him had its hind legs slightly bent, and its tail was straight up, like an unsheathed treasured knife.
The wolf looked like it was about to pounce at any moment. Its two eyes flickered with a faint ominous light, giving them goosebumps.
