Chapter 043: Hunting (Part II)
"I'm so tired......" Zhang Jiabao staggered. It seems that this purple flower can not only turn people's desires and demands into illusions, but also have certain side effects.
Li Bangcang poured his true qi into Zhang Jiabao's body, so that he would not fall. Now he also felt weak, as if even his tooth stick was much heavier. Carrying two toothsticks on one shoulder, and supporting the junior brother with the other, the two staggered forward step by step. After walking for a short time, he had to stop and rest, and carry the pair of toothsticks that weighed a hundred and sixty pounds on the other shoulder.
Li Bangcang thought to himself, he shouldn't pull his junior brother out this time, if he is alone, he can go back at any time if he finds that the situation is not good. I regret why I have been digging that big tomb for the past five or six years, and I haven't figured out the surrounding environment in advance.
Before coming out, why didn't you use the ancient treasure money to divination, to see if you can find food by going west or east, or if you can't find it on both sides, it's better to stay where you are. Li Bangcang blamed himself very much, he was too confident in his own strength, and he didn't think about things thoroughly.
What should I do now? I want to go back and I don't have any food to replenish my strength, and I don't know how long it will take to find food.
Walking and walking, the last torch was burned, and neither of them had the heart to look for firewood again, and hesitated forward in the dark. After walking for another four or five miles, Zhang Jiabao was already in a semi-dizzy state, with his eyes closed, almost dragged by his senior brother.
"That's it, let's not go. Li Bangcang sighed, "Rest for a while, I'll carry you back." "I happened to touch a half-human-high boulder in front of me, and I took a breath here. He made up his mind that he would find a place to hide the two toothsticks, burn his own essence and blood, and bring his junior brother back with all his might, and come back to look for the toothsticks when he recovered later. Even if doing so would cause irreversible damage to his body, there was no other way.
"What smell?" Li Bangcang sat down against the stone wall, smelling a strong and indescribable smell. Smell closely, the smell is coming from the stone.
"Is there a beast peeing on it?" Li Wancang was pleasantly surprised, "Senior brother, hold on for a while, there is meat to eat around here!"
"No, this stone is very long, and the texture is very regular...... Li Bangcang's hand touched the stone back and forth, his heart fluttered, and he hurriedly pinched a fire trick to illuminate the surroundings.
Well, this half-man-high stone wall is indeed very long, almost ten feet in shape, black and blue, covered with rough scales, and underneath is a pale yellow wrinkled soft skin...... It's a colorful python! It seems to be swallowing something, and it's swallowed most of it, leaving only one tail on the outside. And Li Bangcang's hand was about to touch its eye socket, and the giant python was staring at him with eyes bigger than his fist.
"Excuse me......" Li Bangcang laughed, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he extinguished the fire as if nothing had happened.
"Senior brother, hurry up, be slow, and your movements must be ...... light," he whispered to Zhang Jiabao, "You are leaning against a snake ...... behind you."
"Snake ...... I ...... behind my back" Zhang Jiabao groped behind him a few times like a dream, "Is it baked? Where ......is it?" suddenly understood something, instantly sobered up, jumped up, and hid behind Li Bangcang.
"It's eating, and it's not caring about us. Li Bangcang said.
"Then what now, senior brother, can you beat it?" Zhang Jiabao swallowed, "So much meat is enough for us to eat for a long time." ”
"Such a big snake may not have been able to be defeated by me in my heyday, and I am not an opponent of it now. ”
"Maybe you can take the tail from its mouth?" Li Bangcang groaned, and the fireball lit up again.
Under the red firelight, the two of them and a snake were looking at each other. The serpent seemed to know that the two men were paying attention to it, and stopped eating, its mouth closed, and a yellow vertical pupil stared at them motionlessly.
Only then did Zhang Jiabao see the appearance of this giant python clearly, which was a little different from the one on land, with a sharper mouth, and a hard, backward oblique cone-shaped bulge on both sides of the nostrils, which extended to the top of the head, making it a little more powerful and terrifying. He is more than thirty meters long, with a blue-black spotted back, a yellow and white abdomen, a mouth with prey open and wide, and his nostrils are almost raised to the height of Zhang Jiabao's neck.
Li Bangcang cautiously touched the tail of the snake's mouth prey, wanting to test it. This tail looks familiar, could it be the lizard's?
The python just spewed a strong gust of wind through its nostrils. So Li Bangcang began to exercise, ready to twist off this tail with his bare hands, thinking that your mouth is full, what can you do with me?
The python seemed to be enraged, and moved forward like a mountain, knocking Li Bangcang away with a flick of his head. Even though he was prepared, he was still knocked away and rolled on the ground in embarrassment.
"It's so strong, even if I have a lot of physical strength, I can only run for my life when I see it. Li Bangcang thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, you spread out your palm and show it how it reacts." ”
Zhang Jiabao lit his eyebrow stick on fire, and lit up the thousand patterns in his right palm to the giant python. The python's eyes were motionless, not knowing what it was thinking. After a while, seeing that the two of them did not move, they began to devour again. As its jaw muscles worked, the tail that was exposed outside its mouth went in little by little, and then its neck bulged out a longer stretch, as if a living creature was burrowing inside its body.
"Let it swallow it, and we'll be its next dish." Li Bangcang said: "The snake's sensory organs are mainly Xinzi and skin, you touch its skin and try it." "It's really not good, I can only take my junior brother to escape.
Zhang Jiabao plucked up the courage to approach the giant python's neck, pressed his palm against its skin, and said in his heart: "Brother python, leave us a tail, we are dying of hunger." ”
Something magical happened, the neck muscles of the giant python were contracting and squeezing, the prey in the mouth quickly retreated, and the two of them saw that it was the four-meter-long crawling monster before, which was dead.
Li Bangcang protected Zhang Jiabao behind him, fearing that after the giant python spit out its prey, its body would become more agile and it would suddenly attack. But the python swayed its body and walked away without hurrying, leaving a huge mark on the ground where it passed.
"Brother Python, we can't finish eating, we just need a tail!"
"Hey!" the python never looked back.
"Whew-" Zhang Jiabao looked at his palm and sighed. Thank you so much, Chichichi. It seems that the giant python is not only spiritual, but also can sense his needs, and is very generous.
Just looking at the mucus on the lizard's body, Zhang Jiabao felt a little disgusted, "We actually fell to eating the vomit of a snake......"
Li Bangcang dipped his fingers in a little mucus, felt it, and said, "Don't touch these liquids, it's corrosive." He patted Zhang Jiabao on the shoulder again, "This is not vomit, nor is it charity, it is a tribute to a thousand branches." ”
Now that he finally couldn't starve to death, Li Bangcang poked the lizard with the tips of his thousand teeth, and he could easily break through its thick skin, so it would be easy to cook it. The throat was cut, blood gushed out, and the two of them did not avoid the fishy smell and went up to drink wildly. The world is impermanent, and this monster had let the two of them go before, and finally ended up in their stomachs by accident......
One foot of the monster was enough for two of them, and they had the fullest meal ever. I didn't stop eating until my belly was about to burst, and I was really hungry. And the monster's flesh didn't match its appearance at all, it was delicious, and the meat was smooth and tender.
After eating, Li Bangcang asked, "Senior brother, if there is a fierce creature similar to a wolf in front of you, can you subdue it?"
Zhang Jiabao took a long time, thought about it, and said, "Yes." ”
"What if it's as fierce as a tiger?"
"Uh...... No. ”
"Okay, although it's still a little weaker, it's no longer possible. Li Bangcang said, "You are ready to set off to find Master." Some creatures of all sizes are spiritual, and if you have a thousand tattoos on your body, it will not harm you. "Let Zhang Jiabao get out of the abyss alone now, it's not that he doesn't worry about the safety of his junior brother, but that there is such a huge creature under this abyss, and he has to find the master to solve it as soon as possible.
If these monsters climb to the ground, even the monks of the True Realm may not be able to deal with it easily, such as the giant python just now, no real person will not dare to face the enemy head-on, and will only wave the flag and shout for the apprentice in the back. And the entrance to the cave that Qianzhi is guarding until death must lead to some ancient underground world, where there may be many monsters far bigger than giant pythons.
