Chapter 36: To the Serpent
It was a perfect morning.
The mountain was still a slightly cold mist, but it was already very warm on the flat ground.
A few huge broad leaves, a few branches of the stand, and a bonfire with ashes.
It's a great place to sleep and rest.
Tao Yuan's eyes were shaken by a ray of sunlight that came obliquely, and he woke up in a deep sleep.
He was so tired that he rarely slept so deeply and sweetly.
Mei hadn't woken up yet, a charming thigh pressed on Tao Yuan's thigh, it seemed that women like to put something on their laps when they sleep.
Tao Yuan gently moved the dazzling thigh, walked out of the low sloping top shelter, stood in the golden sunlight and stretched, the five-colored mist was deeply inhaled by him, and then spit out colorlessly.
Three days ago, the two of them found only a burning bonfire at the place where Elle and Rose were roasting, and the dragonfly wings that had not yet been eaten cleanly, and it was obvious that they had left in a hurry.
When Tao Yuan saw that situation, he gave up looking for Anna, Suri and Robert.
It may make more sense to go separately.
After all, Tao Yuan has realized his ability, and there is no way to protect the people around him here, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he can't do it.
He and Mei rested in the cave for only one night before setting out.
There is no more choice, and the only known way to get out of the desert island is to go up that stream.
Therefore, all they can do is to venture close to the stream.
But when he camped at night, Tao Yuan would still choose to stay away from the stream as much as possible, after all, the black shadow really caused a cold shadow in his heart.
With his two knives and the knife between his fingers, there was no way to kill that monster, and there was no chance of winning the battle.
Mei walked out of the shelter behind, came behind Tao Yuan, put her forehead on Tao Yuan's shoulder, seemed to be sleepy-eyed, and muttered:
"I woke up so early, I haven't slept enough. ”
"Then you're resting for a while, don't be in a hurry to set off today, we're already very close to the chaotic stone forest in the dungeon. ”
"You said it was dangerous, why don't you just go around it?"
"It's dangerous, but it's your chance to get out of here. ”
"My chance, can I get out of here, and why don't you leave with me?"
"Me? I'll leave with you. ”
Tao Yuan didn't explain too much, and Mei didn't choose to sleep back.
The two men ate some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, gathered some morning dew to quench their thirst, and set out on their way.
Although the vegetation near the Black Stone Forest is not very lush, there are many fungi.
And each one is very large, and there are few mushrooms smaller than a person, and each one looks like a natural pavilion with brilliant colors.
After walking for more than three hours, both of them felt a little dry mouth, so they found a dead tree nearby and sat down to rest.
Tao Yuan meditated to recover his strength, and Mei was next to him looking for wild fruits that could quench his thirst.
"Ahh
Mei's exclamation made Tao Yuan immediately sober up, and he didn't have time to restrain his spirit, so he directly ran over to Mei who was running back with the knife between his fingers.
Behind Mei, the big mushrooms were dumped, as if they were crushed by something huge.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, a smell that Tao Yuan was very familiar with.
"Python!"
As soon as he smelled the smell, Tao Yuan judged that it was the smell of the rainforest python.
Sure enough, when he was standing with Mei, he saw the true face of the python.
It is the thickness of a bucket, as huge as a green dragon.
It snaked its body, approaching the two of them at great speed.
Just looking at that speed, Tao Yuan knew that the two of them would definitely not be able to outrun it.
Looking around again, the trees are small and the mushrooms are big, but they can't withstand the collision of the giant python at all.
There is no escape, there is no escape.
"Huh!"
The knives between his fingers disappeared between his fingers, and he held the two knives disguised as calf shells.
If you can't run or hide, you can only fight to the death.
The giant python approached the two of them with a fishy wind, and its round pale golden eyes stared at the two of them, but it did not immediately prey.
Snakes are like this, before hunting their prey, they will quietly assess the situation, and will not go out until the best time, and kill with one blow.
Tao Yuan's wary expression became more and more intense, he knew the attack habits of pythons very well.
But soon, he felt that this python was different from other pythons.
Because this seemingly quiet python is actually not quiet.
Yes, not quiet, but panicked.
It's its body that's quiet, and it's its eyes that are flustered.
The eyes of this python turned out to be like a human, and it was able to release the truth of its heart.
"It's struggling, it's struggling, it's fighting inside. ”
It was a look that only intelligent species would have, but it appeared in the eyes of a python.
Tao Yuan has only seen such a python twice, the first time is outside the dungeon, and the second time is this time.
"This is the python that swallowed Sado, the python I shot with a rifle!"
Tao Yuan made a very positive judgment.
At the same time, the past flashed through his mind quickly, stopping at a certain point.
Tao Yuan's pupils contracted rapidly a few times, and something indescribable rippled in his heart.
It's a very strange feeling, that is, I don't have an answer, but I feel some kind of conspiracy.
The struggle in the python's eyes became more and more intense, and suddenly it turned into wisdom and horror, and suddenly it became cold and ruthless.
Its body was moving forward, very slowly, almost moving and stopping, startling Mei and Tao Yuan involuntarily backwards.
But the two of them didn't dare to turn back and run wildly, because it would definitely attract the giant python to pursue without hesitation.
The coldness in the python's eyes occupied more and more time, and it was obvious that this python would soon make a complete choice and eat the two people in front of him.
Tao Yuan's eyes narrowed into a line, just like the eyes of an old cat when he was ready to hunt.
But the next moment, he handed the knife in his right hand to his left hand, and then his right hand stretched out, and his index finger pointed at the python, and said loudly:
"Cause and effect!"
"Reincarnation!"
"Retribution!"
"Vegetarian!"
Eight words, one word at a time, the sound is like thunder.
This is Tao Yuan using the thunder sound method of the Xinyi Fist that he had learned before to shout out.
These eight words should not appear here at all, but they strangely confused two listeners.
Mei was stunned when she heard this, because she felt that Tao Yuan was completely deceiving herself by saying such things to a giant python.
The giant python was also stunned, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the sadness and horror before occupied his eyes again.
The next moment, the python let out an indescribable shout, turned its head, as if a wronged girl, ran into the distance without looking back, overwhelming a piece of mushroom vegetation......
