Chapter 1127 Palmer

Crystal's POV:

It felt like my world had crumbled in an instant.I lost the strength in my legs, and if Rufus didn't catch me in time, I would have fallen on my knees.

"Calm down.This isn't the time to lose your wits.Pull yourself together."

I willed myself to stay upright, but I was still trembling all over.

My precious Beryl was just a toddler, nothing more than a snack to the vicious python.

How could anyone be so cruel as to try and feed her to that monster? I pushed Rufus aside and took a deep, steadying breath.

"What should we do now?"

"Don't worry," Rufus said in a low voice, his face set in quiet determination.

"I have an idea."

He signaled at his men to remain silent and retreat slowly.

The more people there were, the higher the chances of alerting the python to our presence.

In the end, only a handful of his trusted guards remained, stationed at intervals a few feet away from the tree.I held my breath and stood still.I was like a spring wound tightly, ready to bolt forward at any given second.I was familiar with the python.
