Chapter 90
Everyone at the scene dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing the Nubia Python under the river
that was fierce and inexplicably huge.
Although Simon was extremely careful when moving in the river, the Nubia Python’s sense was
extraordinarily strong. It could detect the slightest movement in a few hundred yards around it in the
Alpar River.
The Nubia Python heard Simon when he first stepped into the river. However, it looked at the bridge
pier rather fearfully. and then stayed still again after lowering its head,
The 15 bridge piers were made of a substance exceptionally harmful to the Nubia Python. Even if they
did not touch it, they would feel extremely ufortable starting from a distance of 33 feet from there.
The water within 330 feet of the bridge pier was filled with the substance used to build the bridge pier. If
the Nubia Python got close to it, it would be burned or even reduced into a pile of sludge.
However, no one knew this secret. The only person who knew the path of the bridge pier was Oliver,
who was in aa after being stabbed by Simon.
.While leading the way, Simon carefully crossed the river through the bridge pier. Once he passed all
15 bridge piers, he
stopped on thest bridge pier and looked back and forth.
Wayne waved his hand frantically and motioned Simon to go ashore.
The presence of the Nubia Python in the river caused everyone to be very anxious.
Simon stretched his hand to hold the ledge and easily leaped out of the river onto thend.
Everyone there breathed a sigh of relief.
Simon had crossed the river safely.
Gunther was the most excited of all. His pale face gradually turned red as he thought, “Simon crossed
the river!”
After Simon got ashore, he took off the rope and tied it around a thick tree nearby that he found.
Wayne also hurriedly found a thick tree and tied the other end of the rope to it. The rope ran across the
river, acting as a safety rope.
Simon waved at the other side of the river, so Wayne asked the others, “Who’s next?”
Everyone exchanged nces, then Gunther said, “I’ll go.”
There was no way out for him. Even if he could not get through it and would be eaten by the Nubia
Python, Gunther had to
cross over.
Hailey immediately supported her father and said, “Dad, I’ll go with you.”
However, Louis immediately came to assist Gunther and said, “Ms. Fox, you can follow after this. I’ll
help Mr. Fox there. You don’t have enough strength to help him.”
Hailey was unwilling to, but Louis’ words made sense. If anything happened in the river, Louis was full
of strength and energy, so he would be able to protect Gunther better. Thus, Hailey nodded in
agreement.
However, Louis also took an extra step of precaution. He took out a rope to bind himself with Gunther
and left the end of the rope to Wayne and Yoseph.
Meanwhile, Oliver woke up and saw the petite beauty, Sienna, holding him. He cleared his mind before
he remembered something suddenly, so he quickly got up and asked, “Where is Sim?”
Wayne turned around and whispered to him, “Mr. Eastwood, Sim has crossed the river and is safe on
the other side.”
Oliver hurriedly looked across the river and saw Simon, in a healthy state, waving his hand over there.
At this time, Gunther and Louis had already entered the water. Louis was in front of Gunther, while
Gunther was at the back. Both of them grasped the safety rope on the river surface with one hand and
held a walking stick in the other hand to probe into the bridge pier under the river, and then walked
forward carefully step by step.
Hailey was most worried when Gunther crossed the river. She watched intently from the riverbank while
holding onto a walking stick.
Oliver looked at the beautiful Hailey standing by the river. He wanted to pull her back a little, but he was
afraid that Sienna would be jealous.
Sienna chuckled and whispered in his ear, “Fine, I’ll be the kind person in your stead.”
Sienna approached Hailey and took her hand, saying, “Be careful. Don’t fall into the river.”
Hailey’s focus was only on Gunther. She stared at him intently for fear that the huge and fierce
predatorial python woulde out of the river.

Louis, who was in the river, was even more nervous. He kept thinking of the scene when Jack was
swallowed by the Nubia Python.
A few minutester, Louis finally reached thest bridge pier across the river. Simon bent down from
the riverbank and grabbed onto Louis’ hand to pull him ashore.
With the extra support, Louis jumped up with all his strength. Louis held Gunther’s hand tightly with the
other hand, and since Gunther was not even 110 pounds, he was easily dragged along.
The two mennded safely.
Hailey breathed a long sigh of relief across the river, only to find that she was holding Sienna’s hand
tightly with a sweaty palm.
Gunther was very excited after he crossed the river. He waved his hand to signal Hailey to hurry over,
but he only made expressions and did not dare to speak because he was afraid that his voice would
draw the Nubia Python out.
Meanwhile, Oliver was observing the map of the Alpar River. The Nubia Pythons did note close to
the bridge pier at all.
Once he saw Gunther ushering Hailey to cross, Oliver quickly said, “I’ll lead the way ahead.”
Wayne did not say anything and directly picked up his backpack to go with Oliver.
Sienna stepped up first and said, “I’ll take the front, and you, the back.”
For some reason unknown to Hailey herself, she followed Sienna and said, “I will go with you.”
Oliver clearly saw that the Nubia Python did not move or get close to the bridge pier, so he was
relieved. Otherwise, he would not agree to let Sienna take the lead.
After Sienna stepped into the river, Hailey followed her closely. Oliver and then Wayne followed behind,
and the four of them crossed the river together.
Only Gabriel and Yoseph were left behind. Yoseph nced at the river in fear and followed them
quickly. He waved to Gabriel on the shore. “Professor Lewis, take my hand ande down.”
After Gabriel tied the safety rope, he took Yoseph’s hand and slowly descended into the river. After
stepping on the solid surface of the bridge pier in the river, Gabriel calmed down a little.
At this time, they did not care whether the Nubia Python woulde out from under the river. There
was no one behind them, so they had to cross the river quickly.
This train of six people crossed the river in a row with a safety rope across the river at the level of their
chest and another safety rope tied around their waists. There was no danger for them as long as the
Nubia Python did not show up.
Nobody could be certain of the oue. The gigantic and ferocious nature of the Nubia Python was
engraved in everyone’s mind.
In fact, Oliver was the most nervous among the group in the Alpar River. He did not dare to ck off on
observing the map of the Alpar River and kept observing the little green dots in his mind that
represented the Nubia Pythons.
Fortunately, none of the Nubia Pythons moved in this direction. They were still motionless under the
water/
Oliver had already figured it out. Even if they caused a bigger ruckus, the Nubia Python probably would
note close either. They were probably not afraid of the humans, but something here terrified them.
It was unlikely that one of them was the cause because if that was true, the Nubia Python would not be
only staying away
now.
Since they were not afraid of the humans, and all the backpacks and instruments they carried had
remained unchanged, it was unlikely that the Nubia Python would be afraid of the goods or things they
carried.
An idea suddenly popped into Oliver’s mind. He concluded internally, “The Nubia Python are afraid of
the 15 bridge piers hidden under the river!”
