Chapter 33: Killing the Snake (I)

(Thanks to Dameng, Chubby, Love and Mourning 520)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stop, don't move." Zhang Fang drank flatly. He remembers watching an animal show about snakes. As mentioned in it, snakes have poor eyesight and can only see the outline of the human body moving four or five meters away, and the python is probably the same. As long as they stand still, under the cover of the woods, the python may not be able to spot them for a while.

Zhang Fang immediately found that shouting was purely superfluous, and at this time, whether it was the Han brothers or Qingyan, they were all bluffed and weak, and they couldn't stand up at all. In comparison, Zhang Fang is not bad, at least he can stand firm and draw his sword. In the deep black pupils, the huge shadow of the giant python like the legendary dragon was reflected. Wherever the python passed, the sand flew and the rocks flew, and the riverbed was plowed out of deep marks. The most terrifying thing is the humanoid lump in the snake's belly......

Who has the most courage in this world? The answer is: one is the person who deals with the dead, and the other is the person who deals with the madman, Zhang Fang has all of them. In addition, no matter how big this giant python is, it is just a big snake in his eyes, and it is not the first time he has seen it (of course, he has only seen it in film and television works), which has its own psychological advantages.

On the other hand, the Han brothers and Qingyan, how could they ever see such a huge thing? Even more under the influence of the shadow of the "gods", after shooting an angry arrow, he was completely at a loss.

However, fortunately, whether they were frightened or obeyed Zhang Fang's warning, in short, the three of them were all stunned.

The python swims closer, the snake's tail coils, the snake's body strives to rise, the snake's letter spits frequently, and detects the direction.

The cliff is five or six zhang from the ground (Han Zhang, equivalent to three or four zhang now), the snake body is nearly ten meters, and the python is different from ordinary animals, it needs to circle the tail and coil the body, and can only support most of the body at most, and the result is still three or four meters away from the top of the cliff where Zhang Fang and others are, and it is not reached at all.

Zhang Fang was overjoyed when he saw it, and said to Han Jun eagerly: "Quick! Hurry up and release the arrows! Shoot all the arrows! ”

Han Jun was sweating profusely, and said: "Xiao Langjun, no, if you provoke the giant python, you can jump up and attack at any time......"

"Never! Hey, I don't have time to explain, so get a bow and arrow. Zhang Fang couldn't explain, and reached out to grab the bow and arrow in Han Jun's hand. No matter how good his archery skills are, he will never have a problem shooting at targets a few meters away.

Zhang Fang dared to attack the giant python at such a close distance, and he had his own reasons. There are only two ways for pythons to attack their prey: either they wrap their bodies around and strangle them, or they open their mouths to devour them. At this time, Zhang Fang was condescending, and the location was favorable, and the giant python could not shake its tail and twist at all, but could only devour it. However, can this giant python still devour it now?

After eating, the python will basically not hunt the second prey before it is completely digested, so the terrifying mouth of the python at this time is precisely the most threatening time. Don't look at the Han brothers as half of the Orion, when it comes to understanding the habits of a specific animal, it is far from being comparable to Zhang Fang from the era of the information explosion.

Zhang Fang rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps, aimed at the expanding python head under the cliff wall and opened the bow and arrow, only when the giant python opened its mouth, it shot an arrow in. It's just that unless a python devours its prey, how can it usually open its mouth casually?

Zhang Fang waited for a while, but never waited for the giant python to open his mouth, lest he miss the opportunity, gritted his teeth, raised his bow to aim, and with a bang, the arrow went away.

Under the nervous pursuit of the eight eyes, the arrow was swift, flashed away, and hit the giant python......

The Han brothers and Qingyan stumbled and sighed: "It's a pity! ”

Zhang Fang waved his bow excitedly: "Great! ”

What is the situation?

This arrow hit the small nest on the left side of the corner of the giant python's mouth, this part of the bone is hard, and the arrow is stuck on the cartilage after hitting three points, and there are not a few drops of blood, so the Han brothers and Qingyan shouted pity.

Zhang Fang knew that his arrow hit the nail on the head.

This part of the python, called the labial fossa, is one of the most important organs for snakes to perceive their prey. The python hunts, leaning on the abdomen to feel the ground shake; Second, rely on snake letters to detect temperature and direction; Third, look at the outline of the prey by eye; Fourth, rely on the perception of heat sources in the labial fossa.

The labial fossa of the python is sensitive to heat sources, and can distinguish subtle changes in temperature of one thousandth of a degree Celsius four or five meters away, so that the prey forms a concrete image of heat stratification - to some extent, the snake is actually blind, and the lip fossa is its eyes.

This knowledge is not difficult to understand by looking at the last few issues of the animal world about snakes. And the Han brothers and Qingyan, where can they understand these seemingly simple knowledge, but it is definitely not something that people in this era can know.

Sure enough, the giant python was hit by an arrow, raised its huge and hideous head, and hissed like a baby's cry, and the snake's mouth was wide open, almost reaching 180 degrees, and the thick throat in the snake's mouth could be seen clearly. Next, a terrifying scene appeared - the snake's body spasmed, its neck suddenly swelled, and the entire python's head was completely deformed. Then, with a wow, he spat out a steaming, dissolved humanoid object wrapped in a viscous liquid.

This、Is this a witch wish?!

This half-dissolved rotting corpse, the strong sour smell, and the disgusting scene of vomiting corpses finally made the Han brothers vomit a lot. As for Qingyan, she is already spitting bile.

What disgusting smell has Zhang Fang not smelled? What scary scene haven't you ever seen? At the moment, I also have a feeling of nausea. But at this time, he couldn't care about all kinds of discomforts in his body, because the giant python made this thrilling scene, not to be scary, but to empty his stomach and intestines, and then - cannibalism!

The next moment, the giant python whipped to the ground with a long tail, the dust was flying, the sand and stone were shot fiercely, and the giant python took off into the air with its strength, and its huge and friendless snake body was flexibly and abnormally wrapped around the thick branches of an old tree on the edge of the cliff.

This time, the host and the guest changed positions. Fang Cai or Zhang Fang and others occupied the advantage of the terrain, and in the blink of an eye, they became condescending pythons.

"Oops, run!"

Zhang magnified and shouted, dragged Qingyan and ran. The Han brothers also supported each other, stumbling and running towards the way they came.

Behind him was a heart-wrenching roar, followed by a rustling sound of overcoming thorns. Zhang Fang, Qingyan, Han Jun, and Han Zhong didn't dare to go back, and ran wildly along the path opened up earlier. The clothes were hooked into strips, the hands and feet were marked with blood, the grass shoes were half thrown off, and the hair was unkempt...... They don't care about anything, they just run wildly, and whoever falls behind is the next carrion.

This kind of desperate run only lasted for a short dozen seconds, and then, it was Qing Yan's desperate cry: "It's miserable! ”

Qingyan ran in the front, and in front of her eyes, a narrow stone crack appeared that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, more than ten zhang long. This was the shortcut they had taken through the Black Mist Ridge before, but at this moment, it had become a fatal shortcut. This long and narrow stone crack needs to be passed sideways, let alone running, even if you want to walk quickly, you can't get it, you have to slide sideways. At this critical juncture of racing against time, this way of walking is simply a McDonald's courier guy - food delivery!

There is a stone crack in the front, and a python in the back, what should I do? What to do?!

The four slowed their pace, their faces showing despair.

"Mi Lang, you protect Xiao Langjun and Qing Yan to go first, and I'll block it." Han Jun suddenly stopped, his face turned strangely pale, he pulled out the ring head knife with force, and turned to face the giant python.

"Second brother, no!" Han Zhong drew his knife and rushed to his brother's side, and hissed: "Playing with the knife, you are not as good as me, or you retreat first, I will take it." ”

"Don't fight anyone, hurry up and put all of them into the cracks in the stones." Zhang Fang fell to his feet and shouted, "Outside the stone wall, the giant python can easily strangle the two of you with a flick of its tail." When we enter the cracks in the rocks, the pythons can only swallow them one by one, at least we have the strength to resist......"

The Han brothers just cared about it, and as soon as they clicked, they suddenly woke up. Seeing that the monocine's hideous head was close at hand, he hurriedly withdrew his blade, turned around and ran.

The speed of the giant python parade was originally faster than the four of them, and with the Han brothers pausing and delaying before, the giant python's letter was about to lick the back of Han Jun's head at this time.

Seeing that Han Jun, who was running last, was not spared, Zhang Fang stopped and opened his bow again. At the moment of crisis, he was not allowed to concentrate on aiming, and he almost shot at hand. As expected, the arrow grazed the python's lower abdomen...... But the giant python hissed with a "croak", its lower abdomen was marked with blood, and a flying sword was inserted in it.

Needless to say, the flying sword was thrown by Qing Yan. Unfortunately, although her accurate head is excellent, but due to the small size and weak strength, this sword only breaks the skin into the flesh by three points, and as soon as the muscles of the snake's body contract, the sword is squeezed out and falls.

Zhang Fang turned his head and yelled: "Shoot the lip socket!" ”

It's a pity that he shouted a step slower, and Qing Yan's last flying sword has been thrown out of his hand, and the target is Snake Eye!

The weakness of almost all animals is the eyes, and if the eyes are injured, even the tigers and leopards have to flee. Qingyan also hunts a lot, and has a natural sensitivity to the weaknesses of animals, so after a fruitless blow, he quickly shoots at the weaknesses. Unfortunately, snakes are an exception, snake eyes are only auxiliary predatory organs, and the real predator is the lip socket.

"Quack!" The flying sword caught his eye, and the snake hissed into the air.

This furious and terrible roar rolled away in the distance.

The Banyuan monarch and maid at the foot of the mountain, and the crowd of people kneeling on the ground outside the valley, were all moved, and thousands of frightened and confused eyes all turned to the cloud-shrouded Black Mist Ridge - what happened there?
