The second his sentence ended, a dazzling flash of purple raced through the sky.
With that, the four knew that their only choice was to bear the smell and seek shelter in the cave till the storm ended…
“…As much as it pains me to say this, let’s just take cover in that cave first…We’ll continue the journey once the storm dies down!” said Gerald as the trio naturally agreed.
After all, with all that lightning in the sky, staying in the cave was definitely the safer option. Their minds made up, the four then went a little deeper in before sitting on the ground.
While Juno and Yrsa closed their eyes as they sat arm in arm—while leaning against each other—against the cave’s walls, Gerald and Rey sat on the opposite end to rest instead.
Though the stench was terrible, had it not been for the cave, they would’ve gotten drenched in the rain by now…
Soon enough, the comforting sound of rain and thunder caused all four of them to relax even further. It was as though all their worries were being washed away…
Even so, good things never lasted.
It wasn’t long after when two shiny dots appeared from deeper within the cave… As the beady orbs grew closer and closer, a flash of lightning revealed that the tiny orbs were the eyes of a giant python!
Despite how close it now was to Rey, favonovel.com was sleeping like a log. The other resting trio wasn’t able to detect the python’s presence either.
At some point, the python began nudging Rey’s shoulder, causing Rey to get slightly annoyed.
“Gah… Stop playing around… Let me sleep a little longer…!” mumbled Rey—who still had his eyes closed—as favonovel.com attempted to brush the python’s head away…
Upon realizing how scaly whatever had been nudging favonovel.com was, Rey instantly opened his eyes in shock. Gulping as favonovel.com slowly turned to look at what favonovel.com was touching… Rey’s heart skipped several beats when favonovel.com realized that a giant python was right next to him!
Scared half to death, Rey instantly shrieked as favonovel.com fumbled to his feet while yelling, “Good god!”
Hearing Rey’s screams, the trio instantly woke up, prompting Gerald to ask, “Rey? What’s wrong?”
“P-p-p-python…! Giant Python…!” yelled Rey as favonovel.com pointed at the snake.
Now fully awake, the others quickly realized that the massive python was staring straight at them!
Realizing that the girls had just stood up in their shock, Gerald quickly ordered, “Don’t move any further!”
Upon hearing that, the trio froze in place, not daring to move an inch.
“Alright… Once you’ve calmed yourselves, begin backing away slowly… Emphasis on the ‘slowly’ part!” instructed Gerald.
Nodding subtly, Juno then began doing as Gerald had told… Taking small steps backward, favonovel.com barely even dared to breathe…
Meanwhile, the giant python itself had locked its gaze on Gerald…
