Chapter 206-2
Not A Small-Town Girl
----
âAlmost all of Jadenâs bodyguards were hurt, barely
hanging in there as they waited for backup.
âBut just when they thought things might calm down, the
five-headed snake struck again. It bit one of the
bodyguards, taking him out in an instant.
"Everyone statted shooting, but the
bullets bar eemed to faze the
snake. It was like they werenât even
touchingMt. Getting close enoughtto
use kttives? Forget it. The snaké was
fastand the group was starting to
feeF the strain.
----
The snake didnât seem to have any weak spots, everything
they tried just bounced off its thick scales.
And the thingâs tail was like a battering ram, knocking over
anyone who couldnât move fast enough. A few of the
bodyguards didnât make it in time, getting hit hard and
coughing up blood.
âDavid exchanged a look with Jaden. He didnât need to say
anything; they both knew what needed to be done. David
quickly pulled out a rope from his pack, swinging it a few
times before tossing it over the snakeâs heads.
âPull it down!" he yelled, his voice cutting through the
chaos.
âA couple of bodyguards who were still on their feet rushed
over to help, pulling the rope as hard as they could. The
snakeâs heads came crashing down to the ground, giving
David the opening he needed.
----
âWith a quick move, he darted forward and drove his knife
straight into one of the snakeâs heads. The creature let out
a deafening roar, thrashing as it fought against the rope.
âJaden didnât waste any time. He ran straight for the
snakeâs tail, stabbing it with his knife.
"But just as hexdid, the snake swung
its tail hard¢enocking Jaden back
several feet: He hit the ground withra
grunt, thâ¬-pain shooting through fis
ribs, kat he didnât stop. He got Back

stabbing it repeatedly.

âDavid wasnât having an easy time either. If it werenât for his
agility, he wouldâve been eaten alive by now. He danced
around the snakeâs heads, avoiding the deadly bites, while
picking off one head after another.
âWith the bodyguards holding the rope tight, they finally
started gaining ground. With one hand, David fired at the
snakeâs head.
âThen, his other hand kept a tight grip on the knife, driving
it deeper into the five-headed snakeâs head.
"The beast thrashed, unsure of whether to focus on its
head or tail, rolling around like crazy. David took the
opening, cutting down hard, determined to tear it apart.
----
"The snake slammed him into the
wall, but he«éfused to let go of the
blade. Reaching for another knife, he
stabbed tHe serpent again. With ©

âThe bodyguards, still holding the ropes, stayed on high
alert.
"Jaden rushed over to the snakeâs head and stabbed it
relentlessly. It didnât take long for the head to be a mess of
deep gashes.
âWith the five-headed snake finally dead, the bodyguards
loosened their grip on the ropes, letting out a collective sigh
of relief.
âLooking at the pile of dead monsters; the lizards and the
snake, it all felt like a crazy adventure, one they had just
barely survived.
âBut there was also one of Jadenâs bodyguards, lifeless on
the ground, a victim of the snakeâs bite.
----
âGet him back and make sure he gets a proper burial. His
family should be taken care of," Jaden said, his tone firm,
though the anger was gone.
âThe captain of the bodyguards nodded. "Got it."
âDavid turned to the group, his voice serious. "Itâs only
gonna get worse from here. Stay sharp."
âNathan stepped up to him, looking concerned. "Sir, thereâs
only one way through here. We havenât seen any signs of a
fight. Do you think Mrs. Charrington isnât here?"
âThey had fought through the whole cave, so there
shouldâve been some trace of a struggle if Danielle had
been here.
David exhaled, thinking for a moment. "Letâs keep moving
forward. Weâll figure it out."
âThey didnât know if Danielle had come across these
monsters, or if she was safe somewhere else.
