Chapter 1716

“Scorpion brother, it’s not that I’m not giving you face. At this time of night, whoever can engage with us in a firefight is definitely from that neighboring country.”

“They… have captured quite a few of my brothers. I must capture them alive and take them back!”

As he said this, a shadow passed over Eagle’s face.

He’s involved in some shady business, naturally making him a target for special forces. At the mention of special forces, his men become alarmed, and very few are willing to transport goods for him, leading to a decrease in his income.

Now, with such a great opportunity to establish his authority before him, how could he give it up easily?

If he captured some special forces members alive and took them back to his organization to kill them in front of everyone, it would definitely boost the organization’s morale!

“I advise you not to go, I suspect that thing might not even be human!”

Poisonous Snake cast a cold glance at Eagle.

“Hahaha…”

“You group of cowards, each one saying they are not human, I want to see what they really look like.”

“Could it be that those special forces guys have three heads and six arms?”

Eagle looked at Poisonous Snake disdainfully.

He spoke in somewhat broken Great Xia language, but it was still barely comprehensible.

After speaking, Eagle waved his hand at his men, signaling them to move the gun barrels away from Poisonous Snake’s group.

Although Eagle’s men moved the guns away, they kept a watchful eye on Poisonous Snake’s men.

They certainly wouldn’t spare Poisonous Snake and his people any friendly looks this meeting.

In their eyes, these people were just desperate homeless dogs. The only reason they teamed up with Poisonous Snake was because Scorpion was an old acquaintance of their boss.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the slightest good feeling toward these people; they wouldn’t hesitate to shoot them in the head, which they’d be more than happy to do.

…

At this moment, Lin Beichen had slowly crawled into the depths of the reeds. Unexpectedly, the opposite side seemed to be having an internal strife, and one of the leaders was slowly walking towards his direction.

Lin Beichen wasn’t sure who was approaching, but he was certain the person was no kind individual.

“Tap—tap tap!”

The unique slippery sensation of shoes on muddy ground accompanied the footsteps reaching Lin Beichen’s ears, the sound getting closer. Lin Beichen instinctively tightened his grip on the Type 95 rifle in his hands.

“…”

A burst of foreign language that Lin Beichen didn’t understand reached his ears; he wasn’t sure what the other person was saying.

However, through the reeds, Lin Beichen soon saw the leader among the group kneeling devoutly between two armed men, continuously kowtowing to a net python.

Several big question marks popped up in Lin Beichen’s mind, and for a moment, he was at a loss, not knowing whether to open fire or not.

The leader said something to the man beside him, and then that man shouted in Mandarin that Lin Beichen could understand: “You ignorant foreigners, hurry over and kowtow to our deity to beg for forgiveness!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

Did these Myanmarese desperados actually have a belief?

And they were worshiping this kind of thing!

They couldn’t possibly think that that thing shot at them, could they?

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Scorpion raised his eyebrows.

Even though he was Burmese, having been with Poisonous Snake for so long, he didn’t believe in any of that superstitious nonsense.

“Boss, we probably hit a giant python or something, those people might believe it was that giant snake that engaged us in a firefight just now.”

Scorpion whispered into Poisonous Snake’s ear.

“Pfft, how ignorant.”

Poisonous Snake couldn’t help but laugh.

A divine snake engaging in a firefight with them—wasn’t that utter nonsense?

Eagle’s men, left to watch Poisonous Snake’s group, flew into a fury upon hearing this, some even holding guns to Poisonous Snake’s head, looking as if they wanted to tear him apart.

“What’s happening?”

Eagle’s voice came from amidst the dense reeds, and the few men left as guards shouted a few words in Eagle’s direction.

Then, several of Eagle’s men, with guns to their heads, led Poisonous Snake’s group toward the reeds.

Soon, Poisonous Snake was brought face-to-face with Eagle.

Lin Beichen lay quietly in the grass, watching the scene with interest, as if it had nothing to do with him.

A notorious international fugitive, reduced to being at the mercy of others in Myanmar, the thought amused Lin Beichen.

If Eagle’s men resolved Poisonous Snake with a single bullet, it would save Lin Beichen the trouble.

“Kneel, foolish outsider, do you know what your arrival has brought us?”

Eagle pointed at the still writhing net python, coldly reprimanding Poisonous Snake.

“Aren’t you being a bit excessive, sir?”

“My friends and I came to seek refuge with you; we’re on the same boat.”

“It’s unreasonable for you to draw your blades against us. Is this how you Burmese treat your guests?”

Poisonous Snake responded indifferently, with a calm tone.

In such situations, if he didn’t show some strength, he’d be subject to manipulation if he followed this so-called Eagle.

“Fine, very well!”

Eagle was clearly infuriated, clenching his fists, his hands trembling with anger, as if he wanted to devour Poisonous Snake.

“Boss, in their belief, pythons are considered offspring of evil deities; because pythons can swallow a grown goat, they believe pythons can devour everything. If they offend a python, they believe they might never catch game again.”
