By the light of the rising fire, everyone saw it clearly, and they couldn't help but gasp.

This、Is this a giant python?

The body thicker than the bucket was covered with crimson scales, emitting a strange and bewitching light in the firelight, and the two sapphire-like eyes on the big head had to be the size of a fist, and the length was almost immeasurable, at least the half of the body seen through the firelight had to be a few zhang long, and no one could see the length hidden in the darkness.

At this moment, it unhurriedly propped up its upper body, the height was eye-catching, and the blood-red snake hyacinth more than half a meter long was searching for the breath of the prey in the air, obviously the prey it was looking for was very satisfied, of course, it could not be underestimated, so the head of the snake opened like an umbrella, and suddenly, the area covered the giant beast in front of him.

The monster that was huge in everyone's eyes was now like a child in front of adults in front of the giant python.

Seeing the giant python appear, the previous monster roared lowly, showed its sharp fangs, and bluffed forward, pretending to attack.

Maybe this is the giant in the depths of the jungle, the giant python is condescending, and he doesn't take the monster's attack seriously at all, and he doesn't move, only shaking the umbrella cover of his neck slightly, and then it emits a strong wing-flapping sound.

The monster seemed to be extremely frightened of such a voice, and suddenly retreated in fright, and the tentacles on its head shook more fiercely and brightly, as if it wanted to scare off the python in this way.

"This is a mutated bat snake," Mei Shuang remembered the pictures she had seen, always thinking that it was an animal that only existed in ancient times, but she didn't expect it to be in reality, "This thing is hugely powerful, and it is even more poisonous." Be careful, everyone, don't make any noise. ”

The situation in front of them was ready to start, and no one dared to move, for fear that something would accidentally make a move and alarm the huge guy, and the target would be shifted to them.

The monster saw that the python did not move, and became a little more bold, after all, its fangs are not gnawing watermelons every day, and it must not be frightened by the other party, or it is hungry and faint and cannot correctly estimate the prey in front of it, so it made a risky move under the wrong thought and made it regret it for life.

It didn't turn around and run, but rushed towards the python, its sharp fangs on the python's body.

The python seemed to have been prepared, and its seemingly bulky body moved more flexibly than anything else, and the back half of the body hidden in the darkness was ready for some time, and swept over before the monster's fangs touched its body. As a result, the monster's huge body was swept away by the wind like falling leaves, and several of them rolled and slammed into the big tree that Meishuang had just climbed over.

This collision was no less than an earthquake of magnitude 8, and Meishuang, who was about to remind everyone to be careful, shook under the tree, and everyone watched Meishuang scream and fall, fortunately there were branches and leaves to block it, and after a few buffers, Meishuang fell next to the monster.

This fall is about to break the plum frost to pieces. And the sudden fall from the tree will also startle the monster that was also so angry with the giant python.

As it struggled to get up, it saw that it was an unexpected gain, and in an instant it had a new idea.

When Meishuang landed on the ground, she only felt that her internal organs seemed to be displaced, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the fangs of the monster were about to touch her body. She instinctively kicked out, lifting the monster's head to the side as she tumbled to the base of the ancient tree, where the roots were intertwined.

The roots of the ancient tree are criss-crossed, and the gaps are enough to accommodate her, and Meishuang lies in it tremblingly, not forgetting to remind the people above, "Don't move!" ”

The few people who were going to jump down to save people could only grit their teeth and wait, after all, the biggest threat in front of them was the giant python, and if the attention of the giant python was diverted, it would be a disastrous consequence.

The monster was suddenly struck, annoyed and angry, Nima planned to add the prey in front of it as a sacrifice to the giant python, but he didn't expect this prey to be extremely cunning, and actually went under the root of the tree.

So, its fangs poked into the crack of the root, and the fragile root could not withstand its blow, and it broke off in an instant, and Meishuang fell backwards and crawled back quickly.

The monster changed direction and began to attack from the other side.

The roots of the tree trembled in front of Meishuang's eyes, and the soil flew, and it was like a mud rain for a while, and the people on the tree were also disturbed by it, and had to hug the tree tightly to avoid being shaken down.

When the sharp fangs almost touched his thigh, he heard the monster howl and flew out like a fallen leaf.

Needless to say, Monty Python can't wait.

Then, the monster was completely defeated, and there was no chance of escaping.

While quietly pulling Meishuang up the tree with a rope, several people saw that the giant python had surrounded the monster, and its huge body became tighter and tighter after a few circles, and the body of the monster could no longer be seen, only its black hooves were outside.

In a world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, one thing descends to another. No one dares to dominate the food chain, and there may be a stronger opponent waiting for them in the next moment.

A few people sighed and then quickly left along the place where the trees and vines were intertwined.

What I didn't expect was that the branches of this tree were intertwined, but it looked like the ground. A few people didn't know how long they had been shuttling inside, and suddenly they heard the sound of "whooshing" water in the distance.

By the moonlight, a stream of water on the ground was murmuring, the water was clear, flowing through the stones, making a crisp sound, and the stones on both sides of the water were covered with moss, and in the moonlight there was a cold glow.

Several people were overjoyed, Shi Jieyu had dropped water and food just now, and now she could replenish the water.

Kato was also disgusted by the bloody smell on his body, and was about to jump down to take a shower, but was stopped by Cong Fei, who first gently picked up a thick branch from under his feet, and then threw it in the water.

The thick branches entering the water are like an animal jumping into the water, making a "bang" sound and causing a large splash.

After a while, Kato was a little impatient, and just bent down to get down the tree, only to hear movement in the grass next to the water. He hurriedly shrank back.

A pointed head poked out, just looking at the pointed head, you wouldn't think it was big, but when the guy swayed his body unhurriedly and came out of the grass, everyone could see it clearly.

By the moonlight, you can see that this guy is covered in porcupine-like pinpricks, flat like a dagger, and shimmering with a chilling cold light in the moonlight. That body shape can't be underestimated, not much smaller than the monster just now.

I saw it twist its body and come to the water, look left and right, and it didn't seem to see the expected prey, and then after drinking water in the water source for a while, it turned around and disappeared into the grass.

Seeing that the water source is also full of dangers, everyone can't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if it just rushes down, not to mention a fierce battle, it is difficult to say whether it can escape from such a dangerous animal.

Kato wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, admired Cong Fei's foresight very much, and stretched out his thumb to express his admiration, "How do you know that there is also an ambush here?" ”

Cong Fei looked at him and said lightly, "It's nothing, it seems to be quiet here, but if you look closely at the moss next to the water flow, it is actually not smooth, and you can faintly see a lot of paw prints, and the back and forth is relatively regular, indicating that there are often large animals drinking water here, and the paw prints of small animals are basically invisible, which means that the small jungle animals here know that this place is dangerous and will definitely not come to drink water." ”

Cong Fei's explanation made everyone even more impressed.

Cong Yue looked at the direction of the water, and then told everyone to go against the current and find the source of the water source.

A few people did not dare to stay, and walked forward, occasionally encountering an adjacent ancient tree, and swung over with vines.

I don't know how long after walking, everyone is a little tired.

Sitting on the branches, everyone was dry-mouthed, and the clear water on Shi Jieyu's body had long been lost, leaving only a little in the skin bag on the back of the coachman's brother.

Several people pushed around and refused to drink.

After the coachman brothers left for a while, each returned with a few fat green rhizomes in their arms.

"What is this?" Meishuang asked curiously.

The coachman's brother didn't say much, and after opening the blade, he saw that the thick skin was filled with white flocculent inside.

Cong Fei picked up a piece first, and scratched it horizontally and vertically a few times on the soft bulks inside, and the inner bulks shrank like withering, revealing the moisture underneath.

When they saw the water, everyone became excited, and one person took half of it and began to drink it into his mouth.

Mei Shuang also tasted it, although it was a little astringent at first, with a faint bitter gourd taste, but it was sweet in the throat, and I only felt a cool feeling spread in the body, and the whole person was much more energetic.

"That's amazing, what kind of baby is this?"

After drinking the water in Meishuang, he also learned from the coachman brother to eat the inner pulp inside, although the first taste was like chewing cotton, but the more he chewed, the more biting he became, and he felt hungry after swallowing.

The few rhizomes brought by the coachman's brothers were just enough for two pieces per person, and Meishuang couldn't get enough after eating, did it mean anything.

The coachman's brother was made to smile by Meishuang's frankness, "I don't know what the name of this thing is, when I was a child, I was thirsty and often cut this to eat." This thing usually grows between the mountain walls, I thought that there would be no such deep mountain old forest, but I accidentally touched it just now, so I cut some to temporarily quench my thirst and hunger, and I can't eat too much. ”

"Between the mountain walls?" Noticing this detail, Meishuang asked, "Aren't we in a tree?" ”

Others apparently noticed the problem as well, looking at the coachman brothers.

Cong Fei shook his head, "I understand what you mean, but I took a closer look just now, and this thing did grow out of the soil, not the kind that is usually found between mountain walls." ”

Several people fell silent, obviously a little deflated by tacitly.

Along the way, it can be described as sleeping in the open air, not to mention the almost death several times, the key is to only look forward, and not seeing the direction and end at all is the most terrifying.

The only clue along the way is the criss-crossing lines on the map that Meishuang solved, which can be seen to be Qishan. Now they are in Qishan, but what can those lines say?

Meishuang once secretly said, if you can really match those simple lines with any of the complex jungles in front of you, I will call him grandpa!

Moreover, even if there were mountains recorded on the lines, how could they find them with their bare hands?

You know, there is no high technology in this era, there is no surveying and mapping, and there is no satellite positioning.

So, what is the difference between them looking for the so-called treasure here and looking for a needle in a haystack, it is not a blind man lighting a lamp - in vain.

"Do you say that the entrance and tunnel are indeed there?"

After a long time, Shi Jieyu suddenly asked softly.
