Chapter 51: Caught off guard
But Ye Zitong, who was sitting next to him, didn't think so, she made an elegant posture, a pair of Danfeng eyes sometimes showed an angry look, and sometimes she hooked the corners of her lips contemptuously, and her mind was full of strategies on how to make Chu Yatian pay the price.
In the evening, Ye Zitong spread the straw he had collected during the day into a straw shop, helped Chu Litian to lie down, and sat on the side.
Chu Litian raised his eyebrows and patted the seat next to him: "Aren't you sleeping?" ”
"Even though this is a cliff, there is no guarantee that anyone will come down to find out whether we are dead or not, so I still keep vigil here."
"Don't worry, I've set some traps around, if anyone comes in, I'll know, you can sleep in peace."
"When they get here, will the two of us have time to run for our lives? Your body's healing ability is good, but it will take at least two or three days, and if they do get caught, we won't have the same good luck as before. ”
Ye Zitong's worries were not unreasonable, Chu Litian stopped lying down, and also sat up to keep vigil with Ye Zitong.
When I raised my head, I saw the stars in the sky, surrounded by dense fireflies, and it was as beautiful as if I was in a fairyland.
But at this moment, Chu Litian heard some strange sounds.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
Ye Zitong also heard it, and turned his head to look at Chu Litian: "Did you send it?" ”
Chu Litian raised the light smile on the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "It's not me." ”
Two more sizzles came from behind them.
This voice doesn't sound like a good kind of thing.
"There's a snake in this place?" Ye Zitong turned her head disappreciatively, but a smell of blood rushed straight to her nose, and a pair of big blood-red eyes like lanterns stared at her.
Damn it! Ye Zitong scolded secretly, where is this snake, it is obviously a giant python!
"Be careful!" Chu Litian was so shocked that he took Ye Zitong's hand and stood up, and as they stood up, the giant python also leaned towards them, but did not attack.
I can't see clearly in the dark night, judging from the eyes the size of a giant python's lantern, the size is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary giant python, at least as thick as a fifty-year-old tree, the two of them are as small as a grain of sand in front of it, and what makes Ye Zitong puzzled is that the eyes of this giant python are as if they are red with blood, scarlet and terrifying, the scales on its body exude an eerie green light in the dark night, and the fishy smell is diffused little by little, Ye Zitong held his breath and did not dare to move for a while.
"I'll lure it away, you just run." Chu Litian said in a low voice.
"It's not enough for you to be an appetizer for this python, what are you anxious about? Maybe it won't look down on the two of us at all, so I think we'd better wash and sleep. Seeing Chu Litian's stern expression, Ye Zitong couldn't help but joke.
"Do you think it's like you haven't seen us?" Chu Litian glared at her, and was secretly surprised by her courage in his heart.
The python's two bloody eyes were obviously staring at them, and there was a long hara flowing from its mouth, obviously trying to eat them.
At that moment, the python suddenly wagged its tail and moved closer to them.
Dealing with this kind of giant python, the poison should have no effect, Ye Zitong took out the dagger, and was ready to fight to the death, Chu Litian also pulled out his long sword with a grim face, and quietly protected Ye Zitong behind him.
"I think it's hard for us to get out of the way, if I get entangled in a python, you can go, don't hesitate."
Ye Zitong's beautiful eyes were raised, and he sneered disdainfully: "It's just a brute, even if you are seriously injured, I still have to deal with it, I can't deal with just a brute, and I have no face to live in this world!" ”
And the python seemed to be unable to hold back, writhing on the ground incessantly, making a "rustling" sound, which was particularly clear in this silent evening.
Chu Litian frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Be careful." ”
Ye Zitong nodded slightly, his eyes did not dare to leave the giant python for half a minute. The python didn't move, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
The python suddenly opened its mouth wide and flashed towards the two of them.
Ye Zitong hurriedly flashed to the side and drew the long sword in her hand, but she did not immediately attack the giant python, because she knew that a blind attack would only make the giant python more manic, and it would be extremely unfavorable to them at all.
Obviously, Chu Litian also understood this truth, and did not blindly attack the giant python, he also focused on defense and dodging, but he was already seriously injured, and his movements were not as flexible as before, and he was attacked by the giant python several times.
"Zitong, it's not okay to go on like this." Chu Litian dodged the giant python's tail, frowned, and shouted loudly, "This guy's body is definitely better than ours, and if we continue to accompany him like this, we will definitely not be able to support it before him!" ”
"So what do you think we should do now?" Ye Zitong knew that what Chu Litian said made sense, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while, especially now that the giant python didn't stop attacking at all, they had no way to stop and discuss countermeasures.
Chu Litian barely dodged the giant mouth bitten by the giant python, and when the giant python's head hit the mountain wall, he dodged to Ye Zitong's side, and said quickly: "In a while, I'll attract its attention, you take the opportunity to pick it up and plunge into it seven inches, understand?" ”
As soon as Ye Zitong wanted to say that this was too dangerous, the giant python had already relieved himself, turned his head to look at the two of them, and was about to pounce again.
"There's no time to hesitate any longer! So decide! Chu Litian said decisively, and then luckily flashed towards the giant python.
"Chu Litian!" Ye Zitong shouted, his face anxious.
Seeing that Chu Litian flashed in front of the giant python, he ran in another direction, successfully attracting the giant python's attention to himself. No matter how worried Ye Zitong was about Chu Litian's danger now, he had no choice but to follow what Chu Litian said, taking advantage of the fact that the giant python was attacking Chu Litian, he raised his spirit, clenched the long sword in his hand, and jumped again, with a quick light footstep, and jumped onto the body of the giant python.
Maybe it's because it has survived for many years, the giant python has a thick layer of scale armor, like a protective shell, when Ye Zitong just touched that layer of scale armor, he secretly said in his heart that it is not good, this knife, I'm afraid it is not so easy to pierce in!
Chu Litian felt that his head was starting to dizzy, the wounds on his body were constantly oozing and bleeding, coupled with such a violent movement, the wounds were torn open again and again, the blood in his body was constantly draining, and his consciousness was constantly flowing.
The giant python kept writhing, so that Ye Zitong on it could not find a chance to start, which made Ye Zitong anxious.
Suddenly, the python let out a loud roar, like a beast's voice.
Ye Zitong hurriedly raised his head, just in time to see Chu Litian being swept to the ground by the giant python with his head, seeing that the giant python was about to bite Chu Litian's body, Ye Zitong was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to think so much, he straightened up suddenly, clenched the long sword in his hand with both hands, and stabbed it the giant python's body, regardless of whether it was seven inches away from the giant python's death hole.
The giant python, who felt the severe pain, suddenly raised his whole body, Ye Zitong was caught off guard, was thrown off, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily, and his vision was blurred in pain.
A gust of fishy wind came, and Ye Zitong subconsciously slashed the long sword in his hand forward, and then rolled on the spot and rolled to the side.
Ye Zitong's sword happened to slash at the giant python's gaping mouth, and the power that people burst out in the face of life and death was really unpredictable, Ye Zitong's sword actually split off half of the python's head, and the flesh and blood were splashed.
Lying on the ground, Ye Zitong gasped, watching the giant python struggle on the ground for a few moments, and slowly stopped moving, a heart beating violently for a while but there was no way to calm down.
After "Litian ......" gradually calmed down, Ye Zitong hurriedly got up, ran to Chu Litian's side, helped him up, and called him anxiously, "You wake up...... Chu Litian, you wake me up, don't sleep! ”
Chu Litian never responded.
The sticky touch on his hands gave Ye Zitong a bad premonition in his heart. Slowly raised his hand, flipped his palm, and saw the shocking blood stains on his hand through the faint light outside.
Ye Zitong's eyes widened and he looked at his palm in disbelief.
He just helped Chu Litian, and there was so much blood on his hands, so much blood was on his hands, so how much blood Chu Litian had shed on his body, Ye Zitong couldn't imagine it. And even if the light is very weak, Ye Zitong can tell that the blood on his hand is black, not so red that it turns black, but because after poisoning, the blood has turned black.
Chu Litian was still bitten by a giant python!
As soon as this thought entered Ye Zitong's mind, it made her panic.
"Chu Litian, don't scare me!" Ye Zitong's whole body was trembling slightly, and he wanted to reach out to touch Chu Litian's face, but he didn't dare because of the blood on his hands, so he had to take it back.
Chu Litian's breath became weaker and weaker.
Tears welled up in Ye Zitong's eyes, and he whimpered for a while, then suddenly put Chu Litian on the ground slowly, got up, and walked towards the giant python.
Ye Zitong remembered that he had flipped through the ancient books before, saying that this kind of giant python for many years had a special venom on its body, which was hidden in the throat, no matter what kind of creature it was, as long as it drank it, it would become a poison, and any creature it would immediately wither and die.
However, the good thing about this poison is that the person has become an invulnerable monster from now on, and his blood can also detoxify all poisons.
Ye Zitong stood in front of the giant python's corpse, his eyes a little red.
Chu Litian was lying unconscious behind her, because he was bitten by a giant python, although it was not deep, he was poisoned, and if he didn't quickly unravel the poison on his body, he would soon die.
Slowly reaching out and picking up the long sword on the ground, Ye Zitong's eyes gradually became firm.
