Chapter 31: Xiangliu
There was a commotion in the emerald green mountains from time to time, and some mutated insects hiding in the bushes were startled by Ye Chen's footsteps, and fled into the distance in a panic, and later the mountains returned to calm, only Ye Chen's brisk footsteps were still rustling.
Ye Chen took off the military kettle from his waist, and poured all the remaining little water into his throat in one go, this kind of sweet hunger and thirst like rebirth could be so wonderful, he had just left the team for half a day, and the full pot of water was drunk by him, in other words, this was enough for him to drink for three days before, and if the conditions were more harsh, he could even carry it for about a week.
However, since the nuclear explosion, he had almost no resistance to the temptation of water, which made Ye Chen feel very surprised, because his years of military career had given him an extraordinary rational control over hunger and thirst.
Don't be like Hiroshi. After witnessing Wang Hong's injection of the 'Ancient Gene-Lion Scorpion' and the successful mutation, Ye Chen knew that he would one day be unable to escape the fate of the mutation, but whenever he remembered that he had injected the nameless potion, Ye Chen's mentality collapsed a little.
However, at present, he initially estimated that his mutated creatures might be related to water, and the thought of those vivid sea creatures here appeared in front of his eyes like water without a spring.
Along the way, Ye Chen tried his best to bypass the main road, walked through some sheep intestine trails without a trace, and hid himself in the mountains as much as possible.
Long... Ye Chen finally drove out of the mountains and stepped into the hilly area between the southern suburbs of S City and the Purple Mountain, and it was already noon when the sun was shining.
Looking at the blue sky and green scenery, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh a little, nature actually washed away the sins committed by human beings in just a few months, and at the same time, the new life also showed that the law of the cycle of life is the eternal and unchanging program of nature.
Just as Ye Chen was meditating, suddenly an indescribable fishy smell wafted into his nose, like a strange smell emitted by the mixture of heavy seafood and wet soil.
Following the smell, Ye Chen climbed up a higher mound, but he was instantly stunned the moment he climbed the mound.
A behemoth appeared in front of him, and the strangeness of the monster even made Ye Chen suspect that he was dazzled or dreaming for a while.
On a grassy slope on the opposite side of the hill, a multi-headed python with a diameter of three meters and a body length of tens of meters is molting at this time, for the special forces who have experienced many jungle fights, the giant python is not unfamiliar, but the diameter of the truck is thick, the body length is tens of meters, and there are multiple heads Ye Chen, even if he wants to break his head, he can't imagine what power breeds such a formidable monster.
Ye Chen didn't know at this time that this giant python was the nine-headed giant python that escaped after fighting with the barrier troops a few days ago.
Continue to look, the giant python's molting seems to have just ended, the huge python skin is like a translucent corridor built on the hillside, perhaps the molting process consumes a lot of its physical strength, at this time the python looks very weak, entrenched on the grassy slope motionless, let the warm sun caress its huge body.
Ye Chen counted it, and the giant python had a total of six heads, five of which were dark green, while the other turned out to be golden.
After another moment, Ye Chen saw that the giant python still did not move and quietly retreated, preparing to make a detour from the other side, he didn't want to provoke this behemoth in front of him who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
After bypassing several mounds in a row, Ye Chen relaxed his vigilance, and even so, he still looked back from time to time, for fear that the giant python would chase him.
However, just as Ye Chen looked back again, his whole body suddenly froze in place, and his legs seemed to be deep in the dirt and could not move, because the giant python had quietly appeared not far behind him at some point, and was staring at him quietly at this time, and his green eyes were like the lanterns of the hell messenger, making him shudder.
Ye Chen knew that although the body of the giant python that had just molted was weak, it also meant that it urgently needed energy to replenish its physical strength, there was no doubt that Ye Chen had become a snack in the eyes of the giant python at this time, and the wild python was definitely the bloodthirsty king among the cold-blooded animals, they had no mercy at all, only killing and devouring, once they were targeted, they could only fight with their lives to have a glimmer of life.
In shock, Ye Chen still quickly filtered the equipment he was carrying and the next escape plan in his mind.
Rifles, grenades, flare guns, glow sticks, flashing bullets......
Ye Chen slowly straddled the rifle in front of his chest and at the same time took off a flash bullet and held it tightly in his hand, because he knew that the one-meter-diameter python head was no longer something that ordinary rifles could compete with, and the equipment on his body seemed to be only able to drag the giant python for a short time.
After Ye Chen let go of the flashing bomb, he hid in the grass next to him as soon as he slipped away, he wanted to make sure that the flashing bomb had a certain impact on the giant python and then he would not be too late to escape, if he ran away blindly, he was afraid that he would not be able to outrun this giant python with only ten of them.
However, in the eyes of the fifth-level gluttony, Ye Chen's hiding could not help but look like a child playing peek-a-boo with it, as for the flying flash bomb, the giant python had suffered from those bombs earlier, and this time it would never take it lightly, just when the flash bomb flew, the tail of the giant python flashed like a phantom, and with a snap, the flash bomb turned sharply and flew back.
'Ah...' The escape plan in Ye Chen's mind disappeared without a trace in an instant, followed by a shock in his mind.
The next moment, the flash bomb exploded, and a dazzling white light and stinging sensation completely brought Ye Chen into chaos, and then his body was held into the air by a huge brute force, and soon another force forcibly dragged his backpack away from his back, and suddenly a wet but fishy smell came, Ye Chen knew that he might really become a snack for the giant python.
However, at this moment, another force pulled him away, and at the same time there was a loud tearing sound, which was the sound of his clothes being torn, and in this way, Ye Chen did not know how many times he had experienced different degrees of snatching and tearing, and finally regained his calm.
At this time, Ye Chen had already been smashed, and his body was as sore as if he had experienced the Battle of the Arhats, but fortunately, his hands and feet were still conscious, and at the same time, he had already taken off a grenade before his clothes were torn off.
However, when Ye Chen opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was the scuffle between the giant python heads, at this time Ye Chen had been discarded on the ground, and the golden giant python head in front of him seemed to be blocking the attack from the other heads for him, and the golden head was sonorous and powerful to fight left and right, and finally suppressed the other five python heads that were about to move.
"Damn, do you want to eat alone?" Ye Chen had already pulled the safety bolt of the grenade, and as long as he loosened his hand, the jade would be burned.
The next moment, I saw that the giant python Huo Ran turned around, and two lines of clear tears dripped from the eyes of Jasper, just like an aggrieved little boy staring at Ye Chen, who was in tattered clothes, and watched silently for a long time.
And Ye Chen's mood also seemed to change from anger to calm to cordial, it seemed that those eyes were full of all human emotions, at this time Ye Chen no longer thought that it was just a pair of gluttonous eyes, he was sure that the golden python head in front of him had an extraordinary origin.
Just when Ye Chen tried to think about everything about the origin of the giant python, the other five heads wanted to move again, and the golden head did not fight with it this time, but directly pressed against Ye Chen with its mouth, pushing him fiercely into the distance, and then dragged the huge body without moving forward with his own strength.
Ye Chen got up from the ground, the scene in front of him had subverted his worldview, the five heads were driven by animal nature, and they were crawling forward frantically at this time, and the golden head seemed to be controlling most of the torso to retreat backwards, this was a contest between two wills in the same body, this was a real game between ideas, but from the golden head's increasingly empty expression, it was not difficult to see that it couldn't hold on for long.
Ye Chen clenched the hand in his hand that had already pulled the safety bolt in his hand Lei still couldn't get it out in the end, after all, it was the same body, and others couldn't help him at all, and the only way to survive in front of him at this time was to leave immediately.
