Gaps in the bones were littered with rusty knives and spears and shattered iron armor. The people walked forward in amazement, and then in the shallow puddle in the middle of the waterhole, in the center of the circle surrounded by the broken bones, they saw a human skull standing there.

Judging from the size and proportion of the skeleton, Su Yuanchun could judge that this person must have been very tall before his death. Its dark eye sockets were filled with water at the moment, but its dead eyes were shining. A shattered Western iron helmet still clasped over it, and a thick iron plate stretched down its midridge to cover its sunken nose bone. Su Yuanchun's subordinates slowly approached it with an indescribable sense of awe, with an inexplicable reverence. A cross-shaped Western sword slowly unfolded in the darkness.

Su Yuanchun saw the sword very early. The sword seemed to be performing a perfect ritual as if it were a perfect ritual and it was stuck straight and proudly on the forehead of the skull, like an eagle perched on top of a flagpole.

Su Yuanchun felt strange in his heart, this is the territory of Vietnam, how can there be a sword of a Western samurai?

One of the guards tentatively stretched out his arm to reach the hilt of the sword. Su Yuanchun took a step back and looked at his efforts with interest. To his surprise, the long sword rose in his hand, and at that moment, it was as if a cloud of qi rose from the deep sword mark on the skull.

The Guardian held it in both hands. The thick sword looked heavy. Patches of red rust and blood flowed down the blade of the sword, staining the guard's arms.

The guard washed the long sword with water, then came to Su Yuanchun and presented the long sword to Su Yuanchun, who held it in his hand. Effortlessly waved it. There was a thump in the air. The sword was rusty though. But the steel is pure and still very sharp.

"This sword is too heavy," Su Yuanchun frowned, "How can you pick it up." ”

"Do you want to throw it back?" The guard asked cautiously.

"No, you don't." Su Yuanchun handed the sword to him, "You keep it, I'll take it back as a souvenir." ”

They walked forward for a while, the guides looked uneasy, and Su Yuanchun always felt that something was wrong. He was looking down at a gray trail in the road in front of him. The trail was like the mark of a giant animal crawling on its belly. It was like a dried urine trail, glittering at the edges, and along it the bushes withered, the leaves withered, the branches scorched, and the dew blackened.

Su Yuanchun stopped, and the guard ran up with his sword on his back, and the guide followed, and then they all stood at once. Listen to the voice.

They heard the sound of something heavy rubbing against the rocks, echoing everywhere. so that they cannot judge the distance. Some beast is coming this way. The smell that they had once ignored suddenly washed over their brains violently, it was the smell of damp decay, mixed with the smell of rotting flesh and beasts.

They heard it right, something was coming. It was a sound they had never heard in their lives, it was the voice of a living animal, a very great sound, just nearby, getting closer and closer. The sound of the relentless approach, as if an iron wall was slowly clamping.

They looked desperately around, and there was a fog all around them. The thing walked towards them with heavy steps, and Su Yuanchun could hear the sound of the stones in front of him being knocked down and tumbling down, but he couldn't see anything.

The white mist was turned the stone gray by the body of this thing, and for a moment, Su Yuanchun believed that he saw two dim red fires, flickering high above the stone steps like lanterns.

Suddenly, the fog receded, giving way to a circle, and the guy revealed as if he had appeared in the center of the stage, right in front of their eyes.

It was a huge python, its head was flattened like a hammer, its gray-yellow scales shone like a satin, its nose twitched, and yellow foam ran down between its teeth.

People froze all at once.

Su Yuanchun knew in his heart that this giant python was coming for them.

The guide seemed to wake up from his dream, and he cried out sharply: "Oh my God! It's this again! Run! Run! You fools! What are you waiting for! ”

People turned and fled, fear burning in that moment. Su Yuanchun found that it was looking at them sideways, and at that moment he understood what the firelight he had just seen was. The python looked up, and it had two eyes like brass bells, which were two fiery red transparent objects, huge and strange, as if spewing raging flames.

Su Yuanchun raised the horse pistol, he closed one eye and aimed, but the moment he intersected with the giant python's poisonous eyes, he suddenly felt that his skin was tight, his joints were stiff, his fingers were as hard as dead branches, and the gun in his hand became extremely heavy.

He heard the guide roll to the side and screamed frantically at his feet, "Close your eyes! Hold one's breath! Don't look at its eyes! It's going to captivate people! Fascinating mind! ”

Su Yuanchun didn't overdo it, his heart was pounding and beating.

"Be careful, sir!" The guide shouted, "It smells you!" ”

Although the python has poor eyesight, its sense of smell is extremely sensitive, making it look like a hole in the fog. It roared for the last time, and fiercely pounced on Su Yuanchun. Su Yuanchun smelled the fishy smell, he squatted down and just dodged it, it pounced again. Su Yuanchun stepped back and crashed into a tree, unable to avoid it. The giant sinker of the giant python tore through the air and roared.

Su Yuanchun calmed down at this time, raised his gun and aimed at the head of the giant python.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a terrible monster, and now all he could rely on was the foreign gun in his hand.

At this moment, the guard who kept the sword for him rushed forward, and he raised the iron sword high, and slashed fiercely at the tail bone of the python from top to bottom, but he could not cut it. The guard's wrist was almost dislocated. The giant python turned its head, and with a flick of its tail, it picked him off the ground and fell at Su Yuanchun's feet.

The guard's iron sword fell to the side, and the python swooped down on him condescendingly. He didn't care about being afraid, only felt a cramp in his legs. There is also a bit of confusion and a sense of time stopping. Su Yuanchun seized this opportunity. A shot was fired at the python.

The bullet breaks through the scale armor on the python's body. Got into the body of the python, but the python's body didn't move, as if it was undamaged. It's just that it immediately turned around, and its red eyes looked at Su Yuanchun, indicating that it was still hurt, and realized who had caused him the damage.

"Come on! You bastard! Su Yuanchun shouted in a low voice, turned his head sideways to avoid its gaze, and shot out again.

The bullet hit the python again. Only a small splash of blood was punched out of it.

The python raised its head and roared, its black tongue grinding between its sharp, triangular teeth. It shook its body and threw itself at Su Yuanchun again.

"Bang!" Out of nowhere, there was a deafening gunshot, and Su Yuanchun saw a line of fire shot into the body of the giant python, where a cloud of blood mist suddenly burst out, and the scale armor of the giant python was torn apart, revealing the rolled flesh and skin.

The python let out a piercing hiss, and the blow had caused it a lot of damage, but it was not fatal.

"Hit it on the head." A gloomy voice said from afar.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Three shots rang out in quick succession. The python dodged and leaped violently, and all three shots were missed. Su Yuanchun saw that the bullet exploded on the tree, and instantly removed a large piece of the tree, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked by its power.

The giant python was enraged, and jerked in the direction where the bullet was fired, no longer paying attention to Su Yuanchun and the guard who was lying under the tree.

Faced with this perfect opportunity, Su Yuanchun did not flee immediately, he turned his head to look over there, and suddenly saw four light figures.

"Spread out!" The gloomy voice shouted, and the four figures disappeared in an instant.

The giant python shook its head angrily, slowly crawling forward, and its body as thick as a water tank slid past Su Yuanchun. Su Yuanchun didn't dare to look at it, closed his eyes hard, held his breath, and shrank back, the blood flowing from the giant python's wound fell on his thighs and the ground. The strong fishy smell almost made him sick to his stomach on the spot.

The python crawled for a moment, then stood in doubt, its nose twitching in the air, its huge red eyes rolling incessantly.

Suddenly, a short figure leaped out of the darkness.

Su Yuanchun saw that this was a short man, he was dressed in gray, holding a thick and long Western shotgun in his hand, his image looked a little ridiculous, but his body exuded a thick murderous aura, so that Su Yuanchun couldn't laugh at all here and now.

"Yongyuan!" A woman's hurried cry came, and another petite figure appeared.

"Rocky! Stay back! The short man threw away the shotgun in his hand and roared at the python, "Come on! Bastard! ”

Seeing that the other party actually threw away the shotgun in his hand, Su Yuanchun couldn't help but be surprised.

The python roared, leaned out, and lunged at the short man.

The python's movements were extremely fast, and a bloody mouth was about to swallow the man in an instant, but the man did not retreat, but stepped forward and threw a round object into the python's mouth.

Almost at the same time, Su Yuanchun and the woman raised their guns and opened fire at the same time.

The python was shot twice, but it didn't care, it tried hard to bite the short man and swallow it, but the short man's movements were extremely agile, and the python bit twice in a row, and it was empty.

Su Yuanchun stood up and was about to continue shooting, but saw the giant python's head burst open in an instant with a muffled sound.

Heaven and earth seemed to collapse, and the figure of the giant python became huge in an instant, covering all his vision. It was as if a tree had fallen and crushed him underneath. The guy didn't die, it pounced. Su Yuanchun thought, but he didn't have the idea of dodging, at that moment he already felt that he was as stiff as a stone. When he fell to the ground, he couldn't even lower his head to protect his head. He stiffened his gaze upward, the stars shining as if falling at a slow speed, and the sound of stones cracking could be heard from the depths of the earth.

The guards dragged Su Yuanchun out from under the dying python. Su Yuanchun's two hands were stretched out, and he still maintained a shooting posture. It was a long time before he slowly lowered his hand. The python stuck out its tongue, yellow-green saliva sprayed out between its teeth, and its two giant eyes closed tightly, bleeding from the cracks.

Su Yuanchun turned his head and saw the figures of the four people, a total of three men and one woman. The woman had clearly been overly frightened. The short man in his arms sobbed softly. The man caressed her back and comforted her in a whisper in a language that Su Yuanchun didn't understand. It looks like the two of them are a couple.

The guard laboriously pulled the iron sword from the python's belly. It has been broken. He put down his broken sword and looked at the huge corpse of the giant python in horror, as if he couldn't remember everything that had just passed.

Seeing that the giant python was killed, the people who fled ran back in twos and threes, and some people were all happy to see that Su Yuanchun was still alive, and stepped forward to greet Su Yuanchun without stopping. made Su Yuanchun angry and funny.

Of course, he had reason to be angry - he had just met the python, and none of the dignified Admiral Guards had shot him, except for the guard who had picked up the Western sword to cut off the python's tail, and they all scattered in a hurry, putting him to death!

Su Yuanchun's Admiral Guard is the elite of the army, and if he is still frightened like this when he sees a giant python, it can be imagined what the other officers and soldiers will look like once they face the enemy.

"Today, thanks to the four righteous people, dare to ask a few honorable names?" Su Yuanchun separated everyone. Came up to the short man and waved to the four. At this time, the woman's mood had stabilized, and when she saw Su Yuanchun stepping forward, she recognized the official uniform on his body, so she stepped aside and returned the salute.

"Su Yuanchun, Admiral Su?" The short man looked at Su Yuanchun and asked.

"Exactly." Su Yuanchun didn't expect the other party to know his identity, and couldn't help but be stunned, "This strong man is ......"

"In Xia Lin Yongyuan, it is under the command of Lin Yiqing and Lin Jue." The short man returned the salute with a long bow, "This is Neiko Lin Luoqi." ”

"It turned out to be under the command of Lin Jue's department, no wonder he has such skills!" Su Yuanchun couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that the other party was Lin Yiqing's subordinate.

"Is the Su Junmen injured?" Uehara Yongsaku looked at the commander of the Qianguo in front of him, "This python is a poisonous python, and it is highly poisonous all over it, so you must guard against it."

"A little bruise, out of the way." Su Yuanchun waved his hand, and Kamiya Kira, who was beside Yusaku Uehara, stepped forward, took a careful look at Su Yuanchun's hands and the blood on his body, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and handed it to Su Yuanchun.

"Although it is a flesh injury, if it is contaminated with the blood of a poisonous python, it is not good, and I asked the Soviet army to take this medicine." Kira Kamiya said.

"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Su Yuanchun took the medicine and swallowed it with his mouth open.

Hearing Su Yuanchun call himself "Madam", Kamiya Kira's face turned slightly red, and he couldn't help but glance at Yusaku Uehara.

Uehara Yusaku didn't go to see Kamiya Kira, but asked calmly, "Why did the Soviet Army Gate come here?" ”

Su Yuanchun told him about leading the army into Vietnam to support Lin Yiqing on the order of the imperial court, and Uehara Yusaku couldn't help frowning after hearing it.

"Why didn't the Soviet Army Gate take the waterway?" Yusaku Uehara asked.

"From Yunnan to Vietnam, take more of this land route, right?" Su Yuanchun was stunned when asked, "As for the waterway, I once considered going down the Red River, but the road was relatively far and there were no boats, so I still took the land route." ”

"The road taken by the Soviet army is too difficult, and Tianming also asked the army to go to the bank of the Red River, and I sent someone to inform the lord and send a fleet to meet him." Yusaku Uehara said dryly, beckoned to the two subordinates, and the two of them took out a few maps and compared them, and one took out a map and handed it to Yusaku Uehara.

Yusaku Uehara handed the map to Su Yuanchun and pointed to the direction above, "Tomorrow, the army will move westward, and you can get to the river bank that day, so please wait, there will be a steamboat to meet you." ”
