Chapter 210: Child of the Wilds
When Leon and his companions entered the palm grove, Leon suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed ahead.
Willy and Gus also gasped at the same time, instinctively hiding behind Leon.
In the grove lay a shriveled snake skin.
But this was no ordinary shed skin. Judging by its size, the snake that had sloughed it off was an enormous beast.
“Looks like this treasure hunt might not be as simple as we thought,” Leon remarked, tightening his grip on the Galaxy Watermelon Knife.
“How could such a big snake be on this little island? That’s ridiculous,” Gus said, swallowing hard.
“It’s the ocean. Anything can happen out here. I once heard an old captain say he saw an island where dinosaurs still lived,” Willy muttered.
“This doesn’t feel right. Maybe I should send you two back to the ship,” Leon suggested, his sense of danger spiking at the thought of such a giant python.
“I don’t think that’s wise. It’s obvious this island can’t provide enough food for a snake that size. It’s probably living off fish from the sea. If we head back to the ship and it’s waiting in the water… well, I don’t want to think about it,” Willy reasoned calmly.
