This was better than nothing. At least they were still alive and wouldn't die so quickly.
Hearing a loud noise, the two boys quickly ran back to the cave. Although they didn't know what had happened, their instincts told them someone had come to the island.
So, the two of them hid in a corner deep inside the cave, not daring to make a sound or even speak. Monty stood guard at the entrance.
When the search party reached the spot, they were about to go in for a look. But the moment they saw the python, they were all scared out of their wits and scrambled away, each one running faster than the last.
Scared half to death, none of them dared to investigate the cave.
Seeing the people run far off, Monty crawled back inside as if looking for praise, flicked out its tongue, and licked Dylan Grant.
Elmer Grant breathed a sigh of relief. "They must have been the people sent to catch us. Good, we're safe again."
