I don't know how long I slept this night.

During this period, Cao Jun opened his eyes vigilantly a few times, only to feel that the light at the entrance of the cave gradually dimmed.

At some point, a bonfire was lit in the cave, and the smell of meat was faintly audible, and after a while, a soldier woke him up and handed him a black-roasted and very hot chicken leg.

Cao Jun didn't dislike it either, and swallowed it in a few bites.

Then, squinting his eyes again, he continued to pretend to sleep.

The night was getting darker, and the bonfire was extinguished at some point.

In the early hours of the morning, when everyone was sleepy, Cao Jun was suddenly awakened by a series of prompts from the system.

【Ding! Ma Chao's revenge, task 1 (normal difficulty) has been completed: the host has been recognized by Ma Chao's remnant thoughts, and opened the inheritance of Ma Chao's spear technique]

Cao Jun shook his head in a daze, and then understood the specific information contained in this prompt sound.

"So, the Northern Expedition has officially begun?"

"According to Zhuge Liang's strategy of dividing his troops into two routes, it should be that the troops led by Zhao Yun, the vanguard of the Xiegu Road, fought against the Wei army stationed in Meixian County."

The first Northern Expedition ended in the great victory of the Shu army.

Now is the perfect time to make meritorious contributions.

Cao Jun was a little anxious, he moved his stiff limbs, and then he felt a large amount of knowledge about the use of cold weapons rushing into his brain.

He almost fainted for a short time.

When I calmed down a little, I felt that something was wrong around me.

There seemed to be a small cacophony of coughing cough coughing constantly ringing in my ears.

In his nose, a fishy smell rushed in.

Cao Jun then remembered that they were still resting in a strange cave, and finally opened his eyes in a hurry.

The surrounding light was still a little dim.

This is the darkest time before dawn.

The sky will be bright.

With the little light coming in from outside the cave, I could vaguely see the general outline of the cave.

Just seven or eight meters to the left of Cao Jun, a thick black line was entrenched in a ball, and the hideous shekou was slowly coiled up, like a small barrel-thick body, and a sleeping soldier was entwined.

The soldier had already woken up, but unfortunately from the neck down, he was entwined by the python, and the air in his chest was constantly squeezed and sprayed out of his mouth and nose.

The teeth kept bumping up and down, but there was not a trace of shouting.

The cacophony of coughing and coughing that Cao Jun heard earlier was the sound of his upper and lower teeth colliding.

One of his faces was red from extreme lack of oxygen, and his head was looking rigidly in the direction of Cao Jun, his face was painful, and the pain was mixed with a trace of indescribable despair.

At this time, seeing that Cao Jun was awakened, there was another instinct for survival on his face that was about to suffocate to death.

He desperately tilted his neck, pointed at the body of the giant python wrapped around his body with his chin, his mouth was slightly open, and he could vaguely distinguish the meaning he wanted to express, "Help me!" Save... I! ”

Cao Jun jumped up in shock in the blink of an eye.

The giant python also sensed the movement, its hideous head shook slightly, aimed in the direction of Cao Jun, and swallowed a letter (core) as wide as a palm.

A fishy smell came a few meters away.

Cao Jun knew that the soldier couldn't hold out for long, so in a hurry, he picked up the helmet beside him and smashed it on the head of the giant python.

Touch!

The helmet smashed right on the python's head.

Under the pain, the giant python slowly let go of the entangled soldier and quickly swam towards Cao Jun.

Cao Jun's brain exploded, and the whole person almost exploded, he picked up a spear beside him, and shouted loudly while waiting for the battle.

He had the idea of turning around and running away.

It's just that in this cave full of strange rocks, if you want to escape faster, it is definitely not as fast as this giant python.

Rather than leaving your back to your opponent, you should deal with it head-on, and there is still a glimmer of life.

As long as he held on for a while, when the soldiers around him came to his senses, everyone worked together to kill the giant python.

Even if you can't kill it, you can get rid of it.

Cao Jun only needs to hold on alone for a few breaths.

The soldiers of the cave ** have been awakened by Cao Jun's constant exclamations, some of them have not yet figured out the situation, and some of them have already reacted, and they have used their weapons and shouted loudly.

I don't know if it was the shouts of the soldiers that frightened the python.

Its upper body accelerated, and then it rushed in front of Cao Jun, its hideous mouth opened, and a fishy smell rushed towards it.

Cao Jun picked up his spear and was about to pierce the giant python's eyes, but a gust of wind sounded in his back, and before he could react, a snake's tail smashed firmly on his back.

Cao Jun stumbled, only to feel a numbness in his back, as if he had been hit hard, his steps were unsteady, and he took two steps forward, just falling under the giant python.

The giant python was probably blaming Cao Jun for bad things, but he still recognized him unrelentingly.

After a while of swimming, the body quickly wrapped around Cao Jun's body.

The surrounding sergeants have surrounded them with long weapons, accompanied by shouts and shouts, and continue to stab at the body of the giant python.

It's a pity that the giant python didn't know how long it lived, and its body was wrapped in a slippery scale, and although everyone stabbed it fiercely, the damage to the giant python was minimal.

After the python was stimulated, it became even tighter.

After only a while, Cao Jun felt that there was only breath out, no breath in, and a suffocating pain quickly enveloped his whole body.

Only the place where the exposed skin came into contact with the cold body of the giant python, there was a trace of coldness, reminding him at all times.

One of his hands was entangled in the python, and the other hand was stubbornly pointing behind the rock where he had just rested.

His mouth kept opening and closing, but he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the soldiers shouted, "Poke it in the eye, quickly, aim." ”

The giant python kept shaking its head, and the snake's head hung down on the ground about two meters high, even if you wanted to poke its eyes, how could it be so easy?

Another soldier shouted: "Captain Wu can't hold out for long, quick, the snake is afraid of fire, go and make a fire and use a torch to drive away the python." ”

That's a good plan.

When you make a fire, Cao Jun will be cold.

The shouts of the crowd were heard by him one after another, but unfortunately, just like the soldier just now, the air in his chest was constantly squeezed out, and his mouth was still opening and closing, but he couldn't make any sound.

Cao Jun stubbornly pointed to a wine gourd under the rock, desperately signaling with his eyes, and finally a soldier understood Cao Jun's intentions.

"Chief Wu seems to be pointing to the wine gourd, but this time he is almost dying, and he is still thinking about the wine?"

Cao Jun heard it in his ears, and only a mouthful of old blood spurted out on the spot.

Under the constant urging of his eyes, a bold soldier finally took the risk of picking up the wine gourd from less than two meters from the side of the giant python, and after demonstrating it twice, he threw it straight towards Cao Jun.

The python was attracted to the others, and his attention was not on Cao Jun.

You only get one chance.

Cao Jun's attention was all on the wine gourd thrown from the air.

He struggled with his only remaining arm to pinch the wine gourd thrown over, bit it with his mouth, spit out the bottle cap with difficulty, and tilted his head to pour the only three taels of white wine left in the wine gourd into his throat.
