My back hit the trunk, and I could not seem to dodge the python’s tail.
The python instantly captured me in the air.
Struggling hard, I turned back into my human form.
I removed the dagger hidden in my sleeve and stabbed the python forcefully.
It let out another shriek of pain and its tail squeezed more tightly around me, swinging crazily.
My head began spinning.
Pushing away the building nausea, I summoned my lycan power to fight against the python.
The soldiers around us also began moving, surrounding the python in quick succession.
Rufus turned back into his human form as well.
He ripped the rope off Beryl’s body and picked her up with one arm.
Beryl was too scared to cry loudly.
She wrapped her arms around Rufus ‘neck and called him Daddy.
To buy more time for Rufus to escape with our daughter, I once again plunged the dagger into the python’s body.
It swung its tail and slammed me hard against the tree.
Then it focused on attacking Rufus.
Since Rufus was holding Beryl, he could only defend himself against the python.
Beryl had never witnessed such a scenario, so she began crying again.
I was so agitated that I shouted to Rufus, “Why don’t you toss Beryl to me? I will catch her!”
With a quick glance at me, he nodded.
I extended my arms and prepared myself.
The soldiers also positioned themselves around me in case things went awry.
Rufus gripped Beryl and was about to toss her to me.
But at that moment, the python swung its tail fiercely again, hitting both Rufus and Beryl.
The ground rumbled because of the python’s strike.
Warning bells went off in my gut, but it was too late.
Beryl had already been knocked out of Rufus’ arms and flung into the distance.
Everyone acted instantly.
I turned into a wolf and rushed to catch her.
If such a little child fell from that great a height to the ground, she might die or at least become permanently disabled.
But it was too late. Beryl was too far from me. Even if I sprinted toward her at full speed, I still wouldn’t be able to reach her. I was on the verge of a breakdown and Yana was sobbing.
If something really happened to my daughter, I might lose my sanity.
A deep sense of despair overwhelmed me. Just then, a gray wolf leaped out of the trees.
It sprung into the air and caught Beryl in time.
“Rin!” I exclaimed in surprise.
If such a little child fell from that great a height to the ground, she might die or at least become permanently disabled.
Crystal’s POV
Rin successfully caught Beryl and safely landed on the ground. The little girl in Rin’s mouth seemed to be startled. She didn’t make a sound after landing on the ground. She just unblinkingly gazed at Rin.
Rin tilted her head and watched my daughter curiously without saying anything.
They just stared at each other in silence.
I heaved a sigh of relief, noting that my daughter was safe. I didn’t waste any more time and shouted to Rin, “Protect her!”
Rin let out a howl, indicating that she was on the job.
Then I spun around to help Rufus. At this moment, he was tightly wrapped by the python’s body, and only one hand remained free to resist its lethal mouth.
If Rufus became exhausted and couldn’t resist anymore, the python would sink its fangs into him without hesitation. Its venom was highly toxic, and Rufus would probably die in seconds.
I didn’t have the nerve to imagine that scenario. Without a second’s hesitation, I turned into a wolf and charged at the python. I pierced my claws through its tail, trying to catch its attention.
But it completely ignored me, its entire focus dedicated to dealing with Rufus.
I was flung away by the python’s tail, but I persisted.
I continued aiming my attacks at its tail, hoping to assist Rufus even just a little.
“It’s not working. The python is very smart. It wants to tire all of us out and then capture us,” Yana anxiously said.
I considered for a few moments and said, “We need to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.”
