Winner Takes All
Chapter 539 Survival Of The Fittest!

"Creating a commotion?" The people from the Hughes office started to walk into the forest.

Brent stood beside Jack and grinned, "I'll do it!" On saying, Brent swiftly walked to the wrecked cars. After the collision, both cars were utterly destroyed. Lyndall's BMW X7's gas tank cover was broken and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gasoline.

Bash! Brent kicked off the gas tank cover. His kick startled Jack and the rest.

"Everyone back off!" Brent grinned and then calmly lit a cigarette. He smoked the cigarette as he continued to back away. Once he was at a safe distance, he flicked the cigarette into the gas tank.

They could see the perfect arch that the cigarette flew and landed perfectly into the gas tank. The next second, a raging fire raged with a 'whoosh' from the gas tank.

Kaboom! The explosion rocked and reverberated through the forest. All sorts of flying creatures in the forest took to the sky.

The raging fire lit up the night and the road leading up the hill.

Jack couldn't help but break out in laughter. He looked at the raging fire shooting into the sky and then looked into the forest. The commotion in the forest obviously intensified when the car exploded. This commotion was indeed huge!

Deep inside the forest, the two killers one wearing a smiling clown disguise and the other a crying clown disguise were chasing Lyndall when they heard the huge explosion. They turned around and saw the night sky lit up in red.

"That's the hillside road." The smiling clown remarked, "Someone's here."

"Let's end this swiftly!" The crying clown said solemnly.

The two of them continued to prowl like predators seeking their prey while exuding their desire to kill.

About fifty meters from them.

Lyndall curled up, kept still, and remained focused. His shirt was already torn and tattered by the thorns and thistles. It was also bloodied from the countless deep scratches on his skin. He also heard the loud commotion which perked up his spirits.

Finally... did someone come to save him? But he couldn't be sure. Was that loud sound an accident or someone coming to save him? Even if someone was here to save him, he also didn't dare to move! Because he knew that he had to buy time for his rescue.

He knew that he had to endure till daybreak when he would have more chances to survive. He had been hiding like a stray dog for so long. He didn't want to be defeated at this final stage.

A rescue could take a long time while the two killers could kill him in a matter of seconds. The two killers were very familiar with the outdoors and their abilities were beyond his expectations and thereby limiting his options. Apart from hiding, there was no other hope.

Suddenly, Lyndall's body shuddered. He managed to control his movement to a minimum. His face was pale but he maintained composed. A chill ran down his spine. It was as if something stroked down his spine giving him a bone-chilling feeling. His body was covered with goosebumps.

His heartbeat raced. Lyndall's pupils constricted and he could guess what was behind him.

The animals were strange and complexed but there was only a handful that could make a person feel so cold.

Hiss...

As soon as he guessed, a soft sound was like a thunderclap in his ears. Almost at the same moment, Lyndall saw a red forked tongue and the hisses as the tongue flicked around.

Snake!

The snake slowly crawled behind his back and then slithered to Lyndall's shoulders. The bone-chilling feeling was even more pronounced when it crawled to Lyndall's neck. Lyndall's entire body tensed up and he held his breath.

As the snake continued to slither, he started to see the head of the snake. He then made out the diamond-shaped head of the snake which indicated that the snake was poisonous!

At that moment, Lyndall felt an impulse to escape! But then the two killers were nearby and could strike at any moment. But the appearance of the poisonous snake poured fuel to the fire. The snake didn't seem to realize Lyndall's presence.

No! It should already know! A cold-blooded animal is very sensitive to warm-blooded creatures. Lyndall was certain but he didn't dare to move a muscle. A poisonous snake may not kill him but the two killers would definitely take his life.

Lyndall could feel the poisonous snake curling around his neck. The lower half of the snake continued forward until the snake was looking directly at Lyndall. The head of the snake was about the size of a fist. The scales on its body were glossy black, the eyes of the snake looked merciless and the body vibrated as its tongue continued to sense the air for scents.

Lyndall stared into the eyes of the snake. Though he didn't know the species of the snake, he could feel that this snake was fatally threatening.

Then, his heart skipped a beat. He could feel that the snake on his neck started to squeeze him.

'It's treating me as a prey!' Lyndall realized in his heart. Then, his pupils dilated and he raged. Lyndall suddenly decided to open his mouth wide and bite the poisonous snake.

Survival of the fittest!

If he didn't do this, he could either be asphyxiated by the snake or poisoned by it.

Almost at the same moment, the snake opened its mouth and tried to bite Lyndall. The snake opened its mouth wide, displaying its' fangs, and gave out a pungent smell.

When Lyndall made the decision to bite the snake, he had already anticipated this. Just as the snake opened its mouth, Lyndall tilted his head.

Crunch!

A stream of fresh blood squirted onto Lyndall's face. His eyes were focused and ruthless while his pale face was like a bloodthirsty beast. His teeth bit down just below the snake's head. At this position, the snake's head was unable to attack Lyndall in return.

Crunch... crunch...

Lyndall was like a beast in the forest and ruthless to the extreme. Lyndall desperately ground his teeth as he sunk his teeth into the snake. As the snake was struggling to survive, the snake began to squeeze with increasing strength. Lyndall could feel the potential of being suffocated by the snake.

Lyndall began to feel the world spin as he started to become dizzy. His survival instincts wanted to open his mouth for him to breathe. But his intelligence made him overcome the basic desire for survival. Because he was clear that if he were to open his mouth, he could very well be dead next. He only stood a chance if he had truly killed the poisonous snake.

Then. Just as Lyndall was in a fight for survival with the snake.

"Over there!" The smiling clown suddenly thundered.

Damn! Lyndall was panicking.

When Lyndall was fighting with the snake for survival, though he tried his best to stay silent, he still unknowingly disturbed the shrubs causing them to rustle. The snake hadn't died but the two killers were approaching.

He felt the strong threat of death as if a huge hand had pushed Lyndall ruthlessly into hopelessness...
