Chapter 732: Exotic Flying Snake
As soon as Wan Lin and the old commandos turned their eyes from Wen Meng and the others who were on guard around them, they saw the new team members running to Tan Shui's edge without any scruples, "Attention! Wan Lin, Hong Tao and the guide Lao Liu shouted almost at the same time.
At the same time, "whoosh", "whoosh", two slender black shadows suddenly flew out from a tree on the slope of the pond, and its body kept twisting in an "S" shape during the flight, like a pressed spring, flying quickly towards the team members squatting on the edge of the pool, and the triangular head stared at two small eyes with green light, coldly facing the prey in front of them.
"Snake!" Wan Lin's heart sank, his right hand quickly slapped on his waist, and a few steel needles were about to fly out, just at the moment when his steel needles were about to shoot, "whoosh" and "whoosh" two shadows had already flown up from the opposite hillside, like a cannonball coming first, and with a "sigh" from the faces of the two team members, the two small snakes that flew out were brought out.
Several of the surrounding team members instinctively leaned back, and jumped up when their backs hit the ground. The two eyes hurriedly looked to the right, only to see Xiaohua and Xiaobai holding two pure green snakes in their mouths, lying on the ground "let's chirp, let's chirp" delicious meal, and in a blink of an eye, the two little snakes have been swallowed by two leopards.
The team members all looked at the two leopards with pale faces, if it weren't for the two leopard instructors, two small snakes that flew from them would have bitten the faces of the two training team members.
The guide, Lao Liu, looked at the two leopards in surprise, and secretly said in his heart: What a fierce two kittens. When he saw the team, he never understood why they still had two kittens. Only now do I realize that these two little animals are so ferocious, and they have no scruples about eating the snake's head with venom into their stomachs.
Wan Lin and the leopard team members walked to the edge of the pool to carefully observe the surroundings, and Lingling asked in a low voice, "What kind of snake is this, how can it fly?" Wan Lin shook his head and said that he had never seen it, and turned his head towards the guide Lao Liu.
Lao Liu walked over and said, "It's a kind of flying snake that is common in Southeast Asia, and it smells like a damp forest and a waterhole. It was also my negligence just now that I did not explain these precautions to you. This flying snake is called the Paradise Tree Snake, which is distributed in the wetland jungles of South Asia and Southeast Asia, and has a body length of between 1 and 1.2 meters.
He looked at the two leopards that had devoured two poisonous snakes, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and continued: "This Heavenly Tree Snake usually climbs to a high branch before flying. The scales on its abdomen are hard and can flexibly cling to protruding parts such as knots, and it first hooks its tail to a branch and straightens its body, and then jumps high from the branch with a flick."
When Lingling heard this, she glanced at Xiaohua and Xiaobai, and complained: "Xiaohua, they are too fast, and such a strange snake doesn't say let's take a look, how can it fly?" I didn't see this snake with wings", the two leopards heard Lingling say about them, turned their heads to look at her, and wagged their tails proudly.
Lao Liu curiously glanced at the two leopards, sat on the edge of the pond with one butt, reached out and took a handful of pond water into his mouth and took a sip, saying: "It is said that the maximum 'range' of this snake can exceed 100 meters at a time, and it can also make 90-degree turns in the air, and it is highly venomous, it is a very peculiar poisonous snake."
He looked at the curious eyes of the team members around him and explained: "I have really studied this poisonous snake, unlike other flying non-avian animals such as flying squirrels and flying lizards, the Heavenly Tree Snake does not have auxiliary structures such as wings, it relies on real "light qigong". During the flight, they tuck their abdomen once a second on average, flattening their entire body like a parachute, increasing the drag of the air on their bodies during the fall, while using the S-shaped aerial form to extend the flight time."
After listening to Lao Liu, Wan Lin turned his head to look at the surrounding mountains, and said: "Hurry up and wash your face to replenish drinking water, replace the vigilant team, and continue to set off after a while" As he spoke, he squatted down and washed his face, filled the kettle, and turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Several team members washed their faces, filled the kettle, and walked around to replace the vigilant team members. After a twenty-minute rest, the team continued to walk towards the mountain.
Everyone walked for a few more hours, and the guides Lao Liu and Bao Ya walked in front, they looked at a towering mountain in front of them, and Lao Liu stopped and looked back.
Wan Lin walked up briskly from behind, and Lao Liu whispered to Wan Lin who followed: "Over this mountain, there is a small town in front of it, and there are hundreds of local residents in it, and the drug dealers and residents in it are mixed, and the composition of the personnel is very complicated. Shall we walk through overnight or find a campsite around? ”
Wan Lin raised his wrist and saw that it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky was already slightly white, he shook his head lightly and asked, "Let's try to go out day and night, and don't alarm anyone." Is there a hidden campsite nearby? ”
"I came to this area after receiving the order a few days ago to investigate, this big mountain in front of me is high and densely forested, and there is a big cave on it, which is extremely hidden, we might as well camp there," Lao Liu replied.
Wan Lin looked up at the front and said, "Okay, that's it, let's go." The group quickly climbed the mountain in front of them. Before Wan Lin's words fell, the two leopards took the lead in running forward, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The mountain was overgrown with dense shrubs, and when they climbed halfway up the mountain, the guide in front of them and Bao Ya and the others suddenly stopped and looked up.
The team members in the back rushed up one after another, "What's going on?" Wan Lin came up and asked in a low voice, and the guide Lao Liu pointed to the top and said a little embarrassedly: "There is a cliff above." I climbed up from the side when I surveyed, and I didn't pay attention to this direction."
Wan Lin looked up and saw that there was a rock like an umbrella cover above his head, blocking all the way up. The slopes of the mountain are covered with shrubs, and you can't really see the protruding structure from below. He smiled and said, "Go around from the left, and the three groups will serve as scouts."
Zhang Wa, Wen Meng, and Wu Xueying, the three-person group on the far left of the team, immediately turned around and walked to the left, and the rest of the group followed.
The eastern sky has turned white, an unknown bird suddenly let out a loud cry, the crisp cry seems to wake up the sleeping mountain, a layer of light mist slowly shrouded in the middle of the mountain, the eastern mountains in the mist only revealed an ink-like mountaintop, so that every member of the team who has traveled through the dark night all night, as if walking through the clouds and fog, there is a dreamlike feeling.
Wan Lin followed Xiao Liu, followed by Ling Ling and Xiao Ya, they quickly crossed the tall grass in front of them, Lao Liu pulled out his machete and kept cutting the vines and branches in front of him.
