Chapter XVII: Man and Animal

After going ashore, everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and then looked at the river that was more than 100 meters apart, only to feel that the cold sweat had been soaked unconsciously. It's serious, this is a circle after the ghost door was closed.

No one could have imagined that this mighty river surging deep in the mountains would hide an extremely ferocious giant salamander inside.

Lin Qingshan's legs were still a little weak at this time, and he asked, "Mr. Li, what should I do now?" ”

Li Xun pointed ahead and said, "The map says that there is a village in front, we will rest there tonight, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Gotcha. ”

Lin Qingshan ordered everyone to pack up their clothes and march towards the village.

As soon as he heard that he was going to enter the village and that there would finally be people, Director Liu couldn't help himself with excitement, rubbed his hands and said, "I can finally eat a mouthful of hot food." ”

But at this time, Li Xun's nose moved suddenly, and he suddenly burst out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked at Li Xun puzzled, their eyes full of doubts, what's wrong?

It's really about to collapse, I can't imagine that in the deep mountains of the Great Xing'an Mountains, there are thunder pools every step of the way, and everywhere is dangerous.

Li Xun slowly raised his head, the compound bow in his hand couldn't help but wind the bow, and looked at the top of the dense forest with a deep groan.

Everyone followed his gaze, but saw a large black shadow on a walnut tree with four people in front of him. At the same time as seeing this black shadow, everyone screamed, sat on the ground in fright, and then quickly raised their guns to aim.

But I saw a big snake hanging on a tree branch like a trouser belt. The body is seventeen or eighteen meters long, with pitch-black scale armor all over the body, a triangular snake head, black and red letters constantly confiding, and the eyes of the yin owl are staring at Li Xun and his party.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock. ”

The sound of water sounded in this quiet space, and Li Xun finally knew why he walked to him, and he hadn't found the big snake yet.

The guy was dripping all over his body, and the water washed away his breath, and if nothing else, it should have been soaked in the water for a long time before it came out.

Li Xun looked at it, and saw some inexplicable looks in its yin owl eyes, which were very humane. It is often said that a snake grows into a spirit for a hundred years, and a turtle grows for a thousand years to become a demon.

And the lifespan of this big snake is not more than a hundred years, it even has an IQ no less than that of humans.

Looking at this look, Li Xun suddenly understood something, perhaps, this big snake found himself and others last night. It deliberately entered the water, washed away its breath, and hid in the big tree. Don't leave a trace on land, don't leave a trace of smell, do you want to get rid of tracking?

Is that so?

Li Xun didn't know, but he only knew that if this was the case, then its wisdom was close to a demon.

Li Xun took the bow and wound it, but did not aim the arrow at the big snake, but just stared at it. Without Li Xun's order, no one ever shot at him, they were all nervous, tense, and on the verge of exploding.

At this moment, the big snake suddenly turned its head, hung its head on another tree, and with a swing of its body, its tail curled up in a tree farther away. After a twist, it was gone.

Lin Qingshan exclaimed, "Why is it so fast!"

In just a moment's effort, the big snake was completely invisible.

Looking ahead, there was a tremor in the dense forest, and there was a feeling that the ground was shaking. Everyone could almost hear the sound of "Rushing Suo" ringing in their ears, but they felt that the sound was getting farther and farther away at an incredible speed.

Xu Qianyun was also stunned: "Its body is so big, why is it so fast? Impossible, how can the speed of the snake be so fast?"

Li Xun narrowed his eyes and muttered, "That's what you think is a snake." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Director Liu.

Li Xun said: "The snake you think is slow and slow, twisting its body forward. But in fact, the speed of the real big snake in the jungle will make people desperate. ”

"How desperate?"

Li Xun thought for a while and said: "In the dense forest, you are targeted by a giant python of more than twelve meters from a distance of five hundred meters, and you can not escape its hunting range if you ride an off-road motorcycle. ”

"Impossible!"

Xu Qianyun exclaimed, her face full of disbelief. She is the one who has seen the animal world, where the python is the size of an African forest python, but it is very slow to swim. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hunted by lurking.

Therefore, Li Xun is not exaggerating at all when he says, "That's what you think is a snake", the primeval jungle is no better than the African grassland. In the grasslands, the serpent can only move by loaming. That's relatively slow.

However, in the dense forest, the serpents seldom use their wandering to move forward, and they usually hang themselves from trees. Take advantage of your body length and branches, and keep moving forward by inertia.

The big snakes in the forest have no natural predators, they fly in the sky, swim in the water, walk on the ground, live on the trees, and almost all creatures are the objects they hunt. And how can they survive without the corresponding abilities?

The ears were completely cleaned, and there was no trace of the big snake, and everyone finally came to their senses. I just think that a trip to Daxinganling will reduce my life span by ten years. It's thrilling everywhere, it's terrifying, and it's really the jungle they don't know, the hunters they don't know, and the prey they don't know.

"What now?" Lin Qingshan asked tremblingly.

Li Xun said: "Give up tracking the big snake, it just meant to warn." It seems that it is a mother, hehe, and it doesn't like to be followed. ”

Xu Qianyun couldn't cry or laugh: "When is it, you're still joking." ”

Li Xun shrugged his shoulders indifferently, in fact, he didn't take the big snake to heart at all, at least, its attack power was within a controllable range. For the average person, it is a behemoth. But for Li Xun, it's just a snake.

"Let's go, give up following that snake, it's not what we're looking for. Go to the village in front of you. ”

Li Xun walked forward first, and followed the path of the big snake.

Director Liu followed closely behind, amazed: "It's terrifying to think about, what do you say the people who live here are trying to do? It's too dangerous to live with these terrifying monsters every day, right?"

Li Xun turned around and said, "Everything in the world has its own rules. The creatures of the mountains also have their own rules. Carnivores don't slaughter for the sake of slaughtering, they only slaughter the weak in the food chain, and they don't have to store food. The serpent deliberately avoids the villagers, who may not even know it exists, and the villagers are not in the serpent's recipe at all. ”

Director Liu was stunned, feeling that what Li Xun said seemed to have some deep meaning, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't understand the connotation.

In the end, Xu Qianyun said, "How do you know that the villagers are not on the recipe of the big snake?"

Li Xun said with a smile: "Because, except for the people in this mountain, all animals think that the people who live in the mountains are the same as them, they are the elves in the mountains." It's just that people are more dangerous, that's all. What do you think we are in the eyes of animals, supreme intelligent beings? Obviously not, this is just a self-appointed name for human beings. ”

Xu Qianyun pouted: "Why do you always feel that in your eyes, people are inferior to animals?"

"Huh. ”

Li Xun smiled and did not answer the question.
