Chapter 769: Slaying the Giant Python
@@@
The overlord python is one of the largest species of pythons in the world, with three black fine lines on its head, one in the middle of the head, and the other two extending from the eyes to the corners of the mouth, and the back of the body is gray-brown or yellow-brown, with complex diamond-shaped black-brown or light gray reticulate markings.
This python is a nocturnal animal, usually wrapping around trees during the day to rest, and coming out to hunt at night, its eyes can only see the outline of moving objects, so they mostly stay in one place and wait for the opportunity to prey on passing animals.
However, the labial fossa between the scales of its upper lip is very sensitive to infrared rays, and can distinguish temperature changes of one thousandth of a degree Celsius at a distance of 3-4.5 meters.
This makes the success rate of predation extremely high, and it is generally difficult for prey passing in front of it to escape. When hunting, the prey is hanged and then swallowed. The overlord python can stop eating for several days after predating once.
Although this giant python is not poisonous, its bloody mouth can swallow an entire adult, and its bucket-thick body can easily hang a large buffalo.
Yang Yi often carried out tasks in the rainforest in his previous life, and was very familiar with this giant python that inhabits the tropical rainforest, but he had never seen such a big overlord python, and the overlord python in front of him was nearly twenty meters long, with brown markings on its body, as thick as a bucket, as far as Yang Yi knew, the overlord python usually hangs its prey with its body before swallowing it.
However, according to what Ozawa Saburo said, this giant python directly bit Noda Hachiro's head, and then quickly swallowed his upper body, after Yang Yi led people to catch up with this giant python. It was shocking to see that this giant python was so huge and devouring Hachiro Noda. Yang Yi could hear the gurgling of teeth fighting behind him;
It's not surprising that it's been a great time to see such a big python. Most people will be so frightened that their feet will be weak, even Yang Yi himself, looking at the appearance of the giant python devouring people, the hairs on his body also stood up, wondering if this giant python is old and fine.
But he couldn't retreat, although the army behind him was the Yang family's private army, but it had been training in Kagoshima, Japan, Yang Yi understood that he was a very distant existence in their hearts. Most people had only heard of him before, but had never met him;
This voyage is the first time they have met, and if such a force wants them to be absolutely loyal, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the false names of the past, and they must be convinced by practical actions.
The heavy rain in the sky did not stop, and the forest was rattling, making people feel that the plants and trees were all soldiers, Yang Yi wiped the rain on his face, and said to Meng Yunshan and others: "Pythons are generally hidden during the day. It will come out to hunt at night, but this giant python comes out to eat people during the day, but I am afraid that it is already old and fine, so everyone will retreat. ”
Meng Yunshan and the others couldn't wait to retreat immediately. The farther away from this amazing "snake spirit", the better, after listening to Yang Yi's orders, everyone quickly retreated;
Right now. Yang Yi suddenly shook off his cloak, clenched the crescent moon sword with both hands, and rushed towards the giant python. The misty rain and fog quickly made his figure hazy.
"Captain"
"The captain is in danger"
Meng Yunshan and the others were so shocked that they all shouted, and Yang Yi held his breath and didn't dare to answer. I was afraid of being discouraged, and I was also afraid of startling the python, because at this time he had already rushed to the tail of the python, and the torrential rain struck down his head and face, making his vision a little blurred;
On the one hand, he must pay attention to the reaction of the giant python, and on the other hand, he must pay attention to his feet, so as not to slip, speaking from his heart, in the face of such a huge giant python, Yang Yi is also terrified in his heart, once he is caught by its body, he will soon be able to break your bones, and his death will be miserable.
Maybe it was because the python was busy swallowing Hachiro Noda, or maybe Yang Yi was moving too fast, and it also noticed that in short, Yang Yi had rushed to the middle of the python's body, and the python had no sign of attacking him.
"Die!" Yang Yi roared, poured all his strength into the Crescent Moon Treasure Knife, and slashed down wildly with the sword.
"Dang!" With a bang, after the giant python's body was cut off in half, the tail of Baowan in Yang Yi's hand was slashed on a stone, and sparks flew everywhere;
The huge pain made the python's body roll up quickly, and its head swept against an arm-thick tree, "Click! With a bang, the little tree was swept off, and the drops and leaves were swept away;
The tail of the giant python is "Whew!" The flying scroll came back, all this came too fast, Yang Yi didn't have time to dodge at all, and the snake tail swept on Yang Yi's back, knocking him out more than two feet away, and fell into the grass.
Yang Yi didn't care about the pain in his body, rolled a few times in the grass, and quickly got up. Although the python's body was not completely severed, the vertebrae were definitely broken, only the flesh of the abdomen was still attached, and red stinky blood was gushing out of its wounds.
Its tail tossed and flapped in a small puddle, making a splash of water and a frightening sound of grass and blades of grass; The head rolled towards Yang Yi again, and the speed was so fast that it brought out the sound of whistling wind, where did Yang Yi dare to go against his edge, his feet fell, and he quickly bounced behind a big tree.
"Phew!" With a loud bang, the giant python slammed into the big tree, the body of the tree shook loudly, the leaves shook off one after another, and the bark was knocked off, splashing on Yang Yi's feet It hurt.
Yang Yi quickly dodged out, at this time he saw that Noda Hachiro's body had been spit out by the giant python, the giant python's head landed on the ground, and the body was still churning, Yang Yi thought it was dead, and when he swung the knife and split again, the giant python's head ejected again, and the blood disk mouth opened wide enough to stuff a cow, Yang Yi was so shocked that he rolled in the muddy water again, and the blood plate mouth swept over his hair bun, thrilling to the extreme, Yang Yi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!
"Kill!" Yang Yiqiang suppressed the feeling of palpitations, and without waiting for the giant python's body to roll up, he exhaled again, and the crescent moon treasure knife slashed out again violently, slashing at the giant python's neck.
Monty pythons have smaller necks and only listen to "poof! With a bang, the giant python was split by him, and the blood erupted endlessly, and then the snake body churned more intensely, and a large area of shrubs around it was swept down.
Yang Yi didn't dare to slack off, and ran out of the treasure knife for more than ten zhang before he dared to stop and gasp, this kind of giant python don't look at its head in a different place, once it is caught by its body. It can also crush all your bones.
A whole tea time passed, and the python's body completely stopped churning. There was no sound, and Meng Yunshan and the others were shocked. Ran over and asked repeatedly, "Captain, captain, are you alright?" ”
Yang Yi took a long breath, shook off the muddy water, and then smiled indifferently: "What can you do, what kind of demons and monsters does he have, if he meets me, he will be fine, okay." Hurry up and bury Hachiro Noda, we have to continue on our way. ”
"Whoa!"
Meng Yunshan and deputy battalion commander Chen Changqing solemnly gave a military salute, extremely respectful. Obviously, Yang Yi's goal was achieved, and this move made Meng Yunshan and others feel respectful from the bottom of their hearts.
After hastily burying Noda Hachiro, Yang Yi and his entourage set off again, and everyone's footsteps were much firmer this time, although it was still raining heavily in the sky, and some people slipped and fell from time to time. But no one complained, and the march was much faster.
While marching, everyone was talking about Yang Yi's feat of beheading the giant python just now, and someone said, "I heard the old man say it before." Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was the one who rose up after cutting the big snake, defeated Xiang Yu, and dominated the world. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. I have also heard that it is said that Liu Bang beheaded the white snake. I wonder if there is a big one that our captain has chopped? ”
"Definitely not, I've never seen a snake this big. It was too scary, Saburo Ozawa and the others in front of me were scared to pee their pants, and they watched Noda Hachiro being swallowed alive, and none of them dared to go up to save people. ”
"Isn't this nonsense? Do you dare to go up in your place? Who would dare to go up except for someone like our captain? ”
"This is true, our captain is not an ordinary person, he must be a star in the sky."
"What do you think our captain is?"
"I think it must be Ziwei"
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense about such things, what kind of star the captain is, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm talking nonsense, you know what you say."
"I don't know, but I do know one thing, let's just know that it's right to follow the captain."
“”
Hundreds of people say anything, the more they say, the more mysterious it is, Yang Yi doesn't stop it, people in this era are still more superstitious, this kind of fascination is used well, it is infinitely useful, once the soldiers have faith in you, even if they go through a lot of hardships, even if they fight to the end, they will firmly believe that you can lead them to victory.
Like some fanatical believers of certain sects, because of the faith in their hearts, they can ignore the sword and fire in front of them and rush forward, because they believe that even if the body dies, the soul can be protected by the god they believe in.
Faith is a respectable and terrible thing.
The crowd braved the rain and walked in the dense rainforest for more than an hour, and it was almost dark before they found a relatively open place to camp.
Yang Yi carefully taught the matters to be paid attention to when camping in the forest, first of all, try not to camp by the stream, choose some flat and open areas, remove the grass and shrubs in the camp as much as possible, and light more fires around the camp;
Now that it is raining and it is impossible to light a fire, they will drive tree stumps around it, set up wooden thorns to prevent large beasts from attacking, and then sprinkle more sulfur and realgar along these wooden stakes to prevent insects and snakes.
In addition, each person should also be rubbed with realgar and herbal juice to repel mosquitoes; There are a lot of precautions, but fortunately, this team has experienced wild survival training, and it can do well without Yang Yi's orders one by one.
The rain fell heavily for a day, and it didn't stop until the first shift, so Yang Yi instructed the guards on duty to light a fire around the camp, and then pulled a hammock between the two trees, ready to sleep.
However, as soon as he lay down, Xiaobai, who was guarding under the hammock, howled wildly, and even jumped up in an instant, throwing him down from the hammock;
Yang Yi got up quickly, Xiao Bai had never reacted so manically, and when he saw this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
At this time, in addition to Xiaobai's howl, in the deep night, there were manic howls of tigers, leopards, apes and other animals.
This abnormal phenomenon made Yang Yi frightened, rushed over and snatched the gong from the hand of a night patrolman, and shouted while knocking on it: "Get up, get up, hurry up!" Anyone who wants to stay alive should get up, hurry."
