Chapter 184: Red Hognose Snake (2/2)

Using the same move, he waited for the snake to pounce towards him before leaping towards another branch all the while throwing the harpoon towards the seventh dot below its head.

Hissss!

The snake opened its jaw wide as it hissed due to the pain it was experiencing. The harpoon had managed to pierced more than an inch this time, it didn't hit the same wound but it was close enough to each other that the two wounds had combined into one.

Like an agile monkey, Nile hops from one branch to another to make another safe distance from the snake. He knew that if he continued with the act, sooner or later, he would be able to take the snake down. The Instant Adapter Talent's effect was apparent. It allowed Nile to move like a monkey above the tree, it's as if he was Barzan, the jungle boy. It's as if the tree was his home from the start.

However, he didn't expect that the snake would suddenly turn around, intending to escape. It looks like the snake knew that it won't be able to take him down, hence it decided to run for its life.

”You're not getting away!” He exclaimed as he pulled the harpoon behind his back before throwing it like a professional javelin player.

Swoosh!

The harpoon created a gust of wind as it traveled and tore the air towards the escaping Snake. This time, Nile aimed for the area around the snake's tail. Its body was smaller there, he hopes that the harpoon could pierce through its tail.

The harpoon's blade has two hooks on its side, if it manages to pierce through, he knew that he could pin the snake down.

Shriekkk!

The snake let out an ear-piercing scream as the harpoon pierced its tail. It didn't manage to pierce just like what Nile had envisioned, fortunately, when the snake wriggled its tail, the end of the harpoon hit a branch, causing for it to be pushed deep inside, hence the reason why it managed to pierce through it.

Nile smiled under the masks after seeing the accident, 'Luck is on my side, hehe!' He said.

The rope tied on the harpoon was getting pulled by the harpoon and the snake. However, Nile didn't wait for it to escape his grasp, he dives on a thicker branch and stomped his foot hard. Using his free hand, he hugged a branch thicker than his body, before coiling the other end of the rope on it.

BAM!

The moment he finished tying the rope on the branch, as loud noise reached his ears as the snake's body got forcefully halted with the combination of Nile, Harpoon, Rope, and the Tree's branch.
