Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Visitors

Jimmy first removed his clothes, and suddenly noticed several black leeches on his stomach!

He was horrified and quickly tried to remove them, but he didn't have a lighter. If he tried to pull them off forcefully, he would bleed heavily!

After hesitating for a moment, Jimmy pressed down on one of the leeches and shouted, "Fusion!" Instantly, all the leeches on his body turned into blood and merged into his body.

Pain! Pain! Jimmy felt the terrifying pain again, signaling that the fusion had succeeded!

But soon, the pain subsided! Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and began to check his attributes.

After a moment of silence, Jimmy began preparing. First, food was a simple matter—there were fish in the river and plenty of insects in the surrounding jungle!

During the day, Jimmy wasn't afraid of the giant python. He began to dive into the water, searching around. He found some insects in the trees and tried to fuse with them, which worked! Although Jimmy didn't know where he was, he realized there were plenty of animals in the jungle that he could fuse with!

Jimmy fused with large amounts of fish and found that he could hold his breath underwater for a long time. If there were leeches or blood-sucking creatures on his body, he would use fusion.

Soon, Jimmy had killed many creatures around him. One time, he shot down a monkey with a bow and arrow. The fusion worked, and despite the pain in his body, Jimmy felt a strange joy. Only by growing stronger could he counterattack the giant python!

Even though he hadn't slept for three days, Jimmy didn't feel tired at all. He realized that if the fusion failed, it would restore his energy and injuries, as long as the failure didn't last too long...

At sunset, Jimmy looked at his reflection in the river, staring at his crimson snake eyes, lost in thought.

Jimmy shook his head helplessly and checked his equipment: a revolver with only two bullets left and a crossbow with five arrows. He had no idea where the shotgun had gone!

Suddenly, all the insect sounds around him stopped, and Jimmy knew the giant python was here. Without thinking, using his left eye's snake pupil, he saw the infrared signature of the snake that ordinary eyes couldn't detect. He immediately gripped his revolver, ready to face the giant python again.

A "crack" sound echoed as the ground under him shook. Without thinking, Jimmy jumped up. "Come out! I know you're here!" he shouted, aiming his gun.

He kept his gun raised for a long time. A hissing sound echoed above his head. Jimmy looked up and saw the giant python, over ten meters long, hanging from the ship's pillar, its deep eyes staring at him.

"Roar!" The giant python opened its mouth and lunged for Jimmy's head...

A new day began. The abandoned wooden boat was still stranded, devoid of any life. But then, from the distant river, another boat slowly sailed toward it.

A gunshot broke the silence of the jungle river, waking Jimmy from his thoughts! Half relieved and half startled, he watched the approaching boat. He was happy that someone had finally arrived, but nervous about who they might be!

Then, Jimmy, covered in mud, saw three people disembark from the boat: an older white man in a red shirt, holding a rifle, followed by a long-haired Native American, and lastly, a large black man holding a camera.

Jimmy squinted his eyes in silence. If he wasn't mistaken, the gunshot had attracted the giant python! When he saw the three men board the stranded boat, he immediately realized it was bad news. The python was hiding at the back of the boat! It wouldn't attack during the day because of the Saint's compensation, but that didn't mean it wouldn't attack others!

Just then, Jimmy's Nokia vibrated. Ever since the last time, when he almost got killed, Jimmy had set it to vibrate. But strangely, even though he was submerged in the water, it was still working...

Jimmy slowly pulled out the phone and checked it. It was another side mission: "Side Quest: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Each person saved earns 200 points."

Taking a deep breath, Jimmy quietly approached the back of the boat. He noticed the giant python looking around, and once it seemed to be distracted, he lowered his head in relief. He knew that if the snake spotted him, he would be finished!

On the boat, the middle-aged white man stared at the traces in the cabin, saying, "These seem like they've only appeared recently!" The black man touched the bloodstains and said, "Looks like someone got here first!" The middle-aged white man was surprised by the burned remnants of the warehouse, "Looks like someone's been here and set a fire!"

"Let's go! There's nothing here!" The black man looked around the cabin and said. "Hmm!" The white man reluctantly nodded. After both of them got into the water, the white man shouted, "Matte, we're leaving!"

Then, the person on the boat replied, but suddenly lost his balance and fell into the water. Complaining as he stood up, the giant python finally made its move! It quickly coiled around the man's body and began to constrict.

Jimmy saw this as an opportunity and quickly raised his crossbow, shooting at the python. "Gaaah!" The giant python roared in anger, instantly releasing the middle-aged man. Matteo, who had narrowly escaped death, quickly ran away, shouting for help.

But the giant python wasn't going to let its prey escape. It quickly pursued Matteo, and in an instant, the man was dragged into the water, disappearing along with the python. By the time Jimmy reacted, he cursed, not expecting the snake to move so fast!

That man was probably already dragged into the jungle by the python!

Jimmy sighed helplessly, sinking down into the water, swimming toward the boat that could still move.

On the boat, hearing Matteo's scream, a blonde middle-aged woman quickly said, "Did you hear that? Matteo's scream!" "I'll go check!" The black man said helplessly, putting down his camera and heading toward the stranded boat. "Can you follow me?" the middle-aged woman asked the red-shirted white man.

"Next time," the white man shrugged.

"Damn it!" The middle-aged woman cursed angrily. The black man returned to the old boat and looked around, only finding a flashlight. He didn't see any sign of Matteo...
