Chapter 30: The Dragon
The road was almost paved, and several people got back into the car, ready to move on.
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the rainforest, and all the moa birds outside the forest scattered and fled.
Of course, the people in the car found out about the situation, but they didn't understand what was going on in the forest. "I'll go! Look! Zhao Zixuan jumped and pointed to a huge snake head high above the rainforest and shouted.
I saw that in the canopy of the big tree of seven or eight meters, a snake head the size of a basin was waving continuously, and its thick body like a bucket was draped with cyan scales.
"it! What is this? Don't run yet! Yan Cannon was not lightly frightened, and the gun in his hand was thrown on the ground.
"This is the Green Forest Python, right?" Zhang Xiaohu said.
"How can there be such a big green forest snake!" King Peter denied it. "Whatever! We're not running yet! Yan Cannon said hurriedly. As soon as he raised the reins, he sped off in his carriage, regardless of whether the others could keep up with him.
Several carriages behind also galloped up when they saw this, and the road below was made of wood, which was already uneven, and when the vehicle was fast, it was even more bumpy, making the people above embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaohu tightly held the handle in the car, while looking back at the terrifying forest python, in his sight, it was not a giant python, but a giant dragon that was about to soar into the air, it seems that the prototype of the dragon is this terrifying snake, people who passed by before happened to see it by the woods, thinking that it was a dragon written in the book.
The carriage team had completely dispersed, and after Zhang Xiaohu's carriage confirmed that it could not see the terrifying giant snake, it slowly stopped, and the horses pulling the carriage in front of them were running with all their might, and at this time they were also foaming at the mouth, and their bodies were constantly swinging.
"Almost, the snake shouldn't be able to catch up with us, we can rest for a while." Zhang Xiaohu looked at the few people in the car and said to the driver.
The young man who was driving the car turned white with fright, and when he was hesitating whether to stop, Chen Yi, who had been sitting upright in the car, spoke, "Just listen to him!" The coachman obediently stopped the carriage, but still far away from the forest on the side.
"Lao Zhang, I'm damn! It scared me to death just now, such a big snake, if this one rushes out, we won't be finished! Zhao Zixuan, who was curled up in a blanket, said that the car just now was so bumpy that he had to wrap himself in a blanket and lie in the car, although he was embarrassed, he was not hurt.
"What's more, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep the bones! But luckily, the Mori didn't attack us! Zhang Xiaohu was also a little frightened, but in addition to Zhao Zixuan, there were also two ladies in the car, Li Yichen and Chenyi, and he was embarrassed to be too embarrassed and panicked in front of them.
"Senior, you've been talking about the Forest! Was that a forest python just now? Li Yichen looked at Zhang Xiaohu and felt that he was really brave as a senior, and he didn't seem to be very afraid of such a thrilling situation.
"I think that's the Forest!" Zhang Xiaohu said: "The largest snake on the earth, with a body length of about 3-8 meters, and the longest recorded snake can reach 10 meters! is the apex predator of terror and the apex of the food chain. ”
"Boy, don't play with your shallow knowledge! It wasn't a forest snake just now! King Peter's voice came from another carriage. I don't know when, King Peter's carriage also caught up, and the two carriages stopped side by side in the mud.
"Oh! Not a forest snake? How is it possible, there is no other snake so huge except for the forest snake! Zhang Xiaohu still sticks to his point of view.
"If you know about the forest snake, you should know that the forest snake likes to appear in places with abundant water, such as rivers, lakes, swamps and the like, but although there is water in the place we just passed by, it is not enough to meet the needs of the forest snake, and I don't know if you have noticed, that monster is coiled on the branch, standing tall, this is not the habit of the forest snake!"
"What's that?"
"I think it's the Titan Monty Python! Legendary monsters! The most terrifying predator on Earth in the post-dinosaur era! King Peter reasoned his way.
"How is it possible, that Titan python has been extinct for tens of millions of years!" Zhang Xiaohu couldn't believe it, it was incredible. The titan python is an apex predator that lived 58 million years ago, with an average body length of about 15 meters and a weight of up to a ton. It has an amazing appetite and can prey on all animals in its territory that can be swallowed. In the post-dinosaur period, it dominated the entire earth for millions of years. If it weren't for the subsequent extinction of climate change, the emergence of human beings might have been hundreds of thousands of years later.
"Actually, whether it's a forest python or a titan python, we're in trouble!" King Peter added: "These large serpents generally have territories, and the larger they are, the larger they do. If I deduce from it, the monster's territory should cover dozens of kilometers around, and we are still in its territory, and if we don't leave soon, we may be tracked by it at any time! King Peter reasoned.
"So what are you waiting for, let's run!" Zhao Zixuan said in a panic. He couldn't wait to put on his wings and get out of here.
Suddenly, in the distance ahead, there was a sporadic burst of gunfire, accompanied by a shrill roar!
Several people were curious, and soon saw that Yan Cannon was running back with a gun in his hand, followed by two villagers from Donglu Village.
"Run!" Yan Cannon shouted as he ran.
"Uncle, what's going on up front?" Zhang Xiaohu felt that something was wrong with the situation, and he asked loudly.
"There's a more fierce one ahead!" With the sound of Yan's cannon, everyone found that an object like a hill suddenly appeared in their field of vision, and quickly turned into a galloping black shadow and shot towards several people.
There was a small quagmire in front of Yan's cannon, and I saw him jump into the quagmire, and his whole body was immersed in muddy water. The two villagers in the back also did the same, quickly lying down into the muddy water beside them, and all three of them used the muddy water to disguise.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the huge figure like a giant dragon, which was rushing towards his carriage, without any hesitation, grabbed Li Yichen and Zhao Zixuan with both hands respectively, jumped off the car at once, and ran towards the woods.
Chenyi took four villagers and soon caught up, she glared at Zhang Xiaohu fiercely, suddenly stretched out her leg and tripped Li Yichen, and she led someone into the woods in one go.
Li Yichen was caught off guard, not only did he fall to the ground, but also Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan fell to the ground, the ground was full of stinky mud with a rancid smell, and the three of them rolled together for a while, covered in dirt.
Zhang Xiaohu looked back and saw that in this short period of time, the sky had already darkened, and a behemoth more than 20 meters long was curled up behind them. Eyes of terror stared fiercely ahead.
"Don't move!" Zhang Xiaohu said softly. He knew that the snake's eyesight was not good, and he was looking for prey by looking at the heat sensor on his tongue, and now that the three of them were covered in thick mud, which just covered his body temperature, as long as he didn't move, he was confident that he would not be discovered by this monster.
"I don't move! I don't move! Zhao Zixuan was so frightened that he kept repeating the same words, trying to control the trembling of his body.
"Senior, look at King Peter!" Li Yichen whispered. Zhang Xiaohu looked up when he heard this, only to see that King Peter was standing next to the carriage just now, shaking violently like chaff.
The python, instead of attacking the horses and King Peter, looked around, sniffed the scent, and suddenly wandered away towards the north.
After several people couldn't see the snake at all, they carefully came out of the mud.
Zhang Xiaohu ran to King Peter's side, and found that his face was as white as paper, his eyes were white, and he was so frightened that he fainted when he stood up, and from the smell of the air, it could be inferred that he should be.
Zhang Xiaohu slapped King Peter's cheek and woke him up. The rest of the people who had fled were reunited.
All of them were embarrassed and frightened.
