Two days later.

The air was slightly cool, and a gloomy lead cloud began to condense above the rolling mountains, which obscured the sun, and the whole world became a gray-dominated world. The jungle in the mountains is also affected by the gray light, and the dense green trees and shrubs are dark green. The canopy of the trees joins the canopy to form a vast sea of canopies that stretches as far as the eye can see. The Sea of Canopy is a patchwork of shadows and layers, and there are still gaps between the dense foliage, but there is not a single ray of sunlight that reaches the top of the Canopy Sea.

It was dripping, and a light rain fell on the gray sky. The light rain grew heavier as it fell, and the raindrops crackled like beans on the surface of the leaves and shrubs, causing them to shake their heads and then fall to the ground, where they gathered into puddles and trickles.

The whole dark green world seemed to tremble slightly. A hint of chill spread from the rain, soaking through the jungle and giving the impression of a frozen cage.

Wu Qi, Guo Baibai, Gao Yuan, and July, three people and a fox walked in the muddy jungle, and their combat boots and trouser legs were covered with muddy water.

Wu Qi walked ahead and used his long knife to open the way, splitting all the bushes that hindered their movement. The branches of these bushes have many small needles on them, and they are so sharp that they can be cut if you are not careful, and the wounds are difficult to heal.

Gao Yuan carries a sniper on his back. Hit. The pouch of the gun followed behind Wu Qi, and Guo Baibai walked cautiously with Qiyue in his arms. They all have deep dark circles near their eye sockets, revealing severe exhaustion.

After they left Xujiazhai, they fled for two days and two nights without sleep in this endless mountain, and behind them were Mivier and Hess, who were in hot pursuit.

Wu Qi is good at hiding traces in the jungle, Hes is good at digging traces in the jungle, they are both hunters who are very proficient in jungle action, whether the two teams will meet, half depends on their ability, and half depends on which of them is more desperate.

The two teams remained at a considerable distance for most of the two days, and there were two battles in which they met. As a result, Wu Qi and his party successfully escaped.

This does not count as a victory for Wu Qi and his party. They didn't know how many days and nights they would have to walk to the edge of the mountain, and the injuries on Wu Qi's body had not been completely healed, and every time the old injuries had not healed, new injuries were born. Continuous injuries and continuous staying up late to travel caused his cell activity to drop by more than half.

Guo Baibai's long hair was soaked by the waterfall-like rain pouring down her head, and the wet hair stuck to her smooth forehead one by one, and from time to time the rain swept across the bridge of her nose and the side of her face. Her lips were bloodless and she was shivering.

Suddenly, Guo Baibai sneezed. She was colder, so she hugged July tighter, hoping to borrow a little of July's warm body temperature.

Gao Yuan frowned, stepped forward and patted Wu Qi on the shoulder: "Wu Qi, let's find a cave to live and rest for a while." ”

Wu Qi glanced back at Guo Baibai, who seemed to be frozen in his hands and feet, and then Gao Yuan's stomach growled, Gao Yuan's face turned slightly red, and then coughed.

"Gotta find a cave first." Wu Qi said blandly. His cheeks had thinned slightly, and there seemed to be a pair of half-dimmed but still bright stars in the depths of his eyes.

Gao Yuan nodded, and the three of them continued to chop the bushes and move forward. Half an hour later, Wu Qi finally looked at a cave with a 2-meter-high entrance and drilled into it first.

The gray light suddenly became even darker, but fortunately, Wu Qi's faint vision was excellent enough. He pressed his left hand against the uneven rock cave wall, held the knife across his chest with his right hand, and slowly moved his feet inward.

The cave wasn't completely dry, and Wu Qi could feel the water seeping from the other end of the rock wall, but now they had no choice. Guo Baibai held on in the icy heavy rain for half an hour, and Wu Qi could see from her face that she was very weak now, and her physical strength was on the verge of limit.

Suddenly, Wu Qi saw a pair of yellow-green eyes in the depths of the dark cave, which could be seen from the shape of the pupils as snake eyes, and the height of the other party's eyes was level with him.

Wu Qi's movements froze, and he saw the true face of the cave owner, it was a forest python covered with gray-brown markings, and the size of the body was so large that it was the first time Wu Qi had seen it.

The enemy does not move, Wu Qi does not move. He estimated that the body diameter of this forest python was about 25 centimeters, and its weight was at least between 200 and 300 kilograms, and the power of the entanglement was probably more terrifying than the power of the second-order strange force, and he himself was either dead or crippled when he was entangled.

Wu Qi lowered his center of gravity and immediately put himself into a resting state, the muscles of his whole body became integrated in the dormant, and a force borrowed from the earth was transmitted to his right shoulder and arm through his legs, waist, and back.

The forest python burst out and opened its two rows of fangs to swallow Wu Qi's head. Wu Qi also took a big step forward at the same moment! The power of his whole body was transmitted by him to his right arm, and then he slashed with all his strength from right to left.

See the trick. The forest python was beheaded by Wu Qi, and the cut was 40 centimeters from the head. When the huge snake's head fell to the ground of the cave, the giant python's bloody mouth and severed body still reacted with muscles, which looked extremely strange.

The section of the snake's body did not spurt out much blood, and Wu Qi was spared the end of being splashed with blood. He pierced the python's brain with a vertical knife, nailing the snake's head to the ground, and the snake's head struggled violently for a moment before stopping.

"Come in." Wu Qi said to Gao Yuan and Guo Baibai in the rear. Before that, he threw the bloody head of the snake into the corner of the cave.

After Gao Yuan and Guo Baibai came in, they were shocked by the scene in the cave, and Wu Qi pointed to the cold rocky ground: "Sit there." ”

Gao Yuan is puzzled, the average body temperature of the python during the day is more than 30 degrees, and the corpse will be a natural warm nest.

Wu Qi explained: "This giant python has a very strong vitality, even if it is dead, the python body still has a very strong muscle reaction, if you sit in it, the python body feels that there is a living thing close, and the muscle reaction will entangle you, which may cause you to break a few ribs in an instant." ”

The two understood, and sat down on the cold ground. July broke free from Guo Baibai's arms, shook his hair vigorously in the empty cave, and threw out a large number of water droplets.

Guo Baibai's appearance was even worse than Wu Qi imagined, and his face was as pale as a person in the freezer. Wu Qi squatted down and pressed the back of his hand against Guo Baibai's smooth forehead, and found that it was very hot.

Pioneers are several times more immune than the average person, and almost never get sick except for being infected by mutated bacteria. However, in the past two days, they have been on the road day and night, without any nutritional intake, and only drank some thirst-quenching mountain water. Wu Qi can feel that his immunity has decreased significantly, let alone Guo Baibai.
