165. New species (1)
The Voyager, a steam-powered ship sailing down the wide Mara'a River in the state of Shaloman, went upstream, alarming a giant python that was also heading upstream, more than 20 feet in length, with dark golden scales, thick and slender.
Fortunately, in the face of ships more than three times its length, it did not attack, but slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
"Strange, when did this type of python appear in the primeval rainforests of Saroman? I had never seen it in the Bioencyclopedia of the Saroman Forest, but I had done quite well before I came. ”
On the deck, a middle-aged man said to his companion in a strange tone: "Moreover, when I saw it just now, I seemed to have seen the most outstanding **** eight days ago, and I almost jumped off the deck to kiss it." ”
The middle-aged man touched his forehead, his heart palpitated, he knew very well that if he really jumped, the tongue kiss was very likely to become a real snake kiss.
His companion, a bald man, nearly six feet eight inches tall, with knotted muscles, wearing combat shorts, a black tight short-sleeved shirt underneath, brown combat pants and leather boots underneath, mocked mercilessly, "You've only been in the rainforest for eight days and you can't help it?" Seriously, man, you need to comfort yourself, tonight." ”
"Where else is there so much supernatural power, the last dragon in the world degenerated into a large lizard four centuries ago, and was listed as an endangered species by the government, along with the Titan degraded stone people. If you go to the capital, you might be able to see them in the reserve, but they are the only twelve dragon lizards and titans left in the world, and God knows when they will be completely extinct. ”
"Really, I didn't lie to you!"
"Come on, Gary, maybe you can talk to Dr. Bagger, I think he'll be interested, if you really aren't hallucinating. ”
"Spare me, I don't want to face him. The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he quickly changed his words, "You're right, maybe it's really an illusion." ”
Dr. Bagger, the head of the Voyager's mission, was a goblin less than 4 feet tall, with green skin, two pointed ears, a hooked nose, and a pair of large feet, and was also the owner of the ship, another goblin, the partner of the engineer Brack, and had an exuberant desire to research, which could almost be described as a pervert.
To be reasonable, they are human mercenaries who know some spells and martial arts, but the goblins represented by Dr. Bagger and Engineer Brak are the veritable ruling class in this world, and they are more or less lacking in confidence.
The bottom line is that neither goblin is a good-natured person.
Therefore, the middle-aged man quickly put this matter behind him, with doubts such as "it is generally a forest python that lurks on the river bank and in shallow water, not a giant python".
Probably as fate would have it, a few minutes later, the sharp-eyed middle-aged man saw a venomous snake on a tall palm tree, which also had dark golden scales.
Before he could figure out what was wrong, another dark golden sheen caught his attention in the reflection of the sun, it was a giant python crawling slowly forward on the shore.
The moment he saw it, the middle-aged man seemed to see the **** who scratched his head and was coquettish eight days ago, and of course, the night of the fierce battle.
"Ralph, look over there. ”
To prove that he hadn't lied and wasn't hallucinating for holding back for too long, he patted his companion on the shoulder and pointed at the python.
When the bald man heard this, he was first disdainful, then surprised, his eyes widened, as if he saw something unbelievable, and after a full five seconds, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Hell, you're right, it really has extraordinary powers, and it seems that I really saw my wife Jenny just now." This matter must be escalated immediately, you watch it here, and I'll go see Dr. Bagger. ”
A minute later, the deck.
"It's amazing that nature has bred a whole new species of extraordinary power in this inaccessible primeval forest. ”
A goblin in a three-piece suit stood on a stool and held a telescope to carefully observe the python on the bank of the river, panting for breath, making it impossible to tell whether it was the python that aroused the love in his heart, or simply because the desire for research was about to be satisfied.
"Hold on to it, be alive. ”
The first to strike, of course, were the two human mercenaries.
The middle-aged man chanted a spell in his mouth, and made a gesture to the river, and on the bank of the river, a trace of clear river water melted into the already wet soil and went ashore, barely making any sound, and gradually flowed to the python's side, before it suddenly rushed out and turned into a total of sixteen streams of water that wound around the latter before he could react.
"Ralph!"
The 15-foot-long python struggled violently on the shore, and its strength was so great that it broke the current controlled by the middle-aged man several times.
"Roger!"
The bald man also chanted a spell in his mouth, controlling the vines everywhere in the rainforest, stretching out slender and flexible vines to weave into thicker, stronger ropes, and cooperating with his companions to further bind the python that was caught off guard by the current.
Half a minute later, a total of thirty-two streams of water and thirty-seven ropes were found on the python's body, and it gradually stopped struggling.
Goblin Bagger looked at the two human mercenaries with satisfaction, sometimes, magic is indeed very good, of course, far less than goblin engineering.
At the same time, the real armed force of the Voyager, a group of well-armed goblins, took out the net guns and completely captured the python.
"Good!" Bagger was satisfied, who would have thought that he would be able to achieve such a harvest before reaching his destination in the depths of the rainforest, "Quick, drag the python aboard the boat, I will study it carefully." ”
When the python was halfway through the river, another python suddenly burst out of the Mala'a River and kept biting at the high-strength nylon net.
The goblin was not surprised to see another python, it was saving its kindred, a new species with extraordinary strength and a certain intelligence, he was going to become famous!
However, before the goblins on the ship could fire any tranquilizer rounds or nets, there was an inconvenient rustling and hissing sound from the depths of the mysterious and vast dense forests on both sides of the Mala'a River, the former being the sound of poisonous snakes and pythons swimming in the woods, trees, and dead branches, and the latter being the natural sound of them spitting snake letters one after another.
"Alert!"
"Snakes, so many snakes!, how can there be so many snakes!?"
"Plague of snakes?"
Vipers, pythons, vipers, pythons with dark golden scales swam out of the depths of the rainforest, like a tide, crawling on the branches, wandering in the grass, winding around the vines, densely, thousands, everywhere.
They are surrounded by snake pythons!
