Chapter 35: Encounter the Serpent Again
The next evening, they thought they could catch up with Chenyi's convoy, but after walking for most of the day, they found no trace of them.
They did not rest and continued to chase overnight. Finally, two days later, the scenery in front of me changed from a forest to a golden grassland, and the tall grass stalks looked boundless, but there was still no trace of Chenyi and others.
"How could you lose it?" Yan Dacang said strangely, he had to admit that his estimation was wrong, he didn't understand, just those ten cars were not very fast, how could they suddenly disappear from in front of him.
"Is it in the wrong direction?" Zhao Zixuan looked at the grassland in front of him and put forward his own opinion.
"No, we've been going south, I can't be mistaken!" Yan Cannon said with certainty.
For a moment, several people were thinking about what went wrong.
"Isn't it going straight south?" Li Yichen suddenly thought of this question, on the previous road, it was Chen Yi who was directing everyone to travel, they only knew that they were going to the South China Sea, but did the South China Sea have to go south! When they thought of this, they suddenly felt a feeling of remorse, regretting that they had not thought it through at the beginning, resulting in a lot of wasted time.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Yan Dacang, he was used to discussing things with this rugged and individual uncle. Yan Dacang's eyes rolled, beckoning everyone to sit down and discuss, whether to continue to walk forward or return to look for clues next.
Zhao Zixuan jumped up, "Go back?" We've been so desperately rushing that maybe it's just ahead! ”
Yichen sighed lightly, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't dragged everyone down, ......"
"Yichen, it's none of your business, don't blame yourself." Zhang Xiaohu looked at Yichen gently, he was also worried about missing this opportunity to go back, but complaining at this time was not the solution to the problem. It's time to analyze the situation and make a thorough plan.
"My suggestion is that we go back the way we came, and look for the clues left by Chenyi on the way back, after all, they are a big army, and there will always be clues! Uncle Yan, what do you think? ”
Yan Cannon bit a grass pole, and looked at the endless grassland in the distance contemplatively, there was no trace of chariots and horses walking by, once blindly entering the grassland, such a tall grass, it was easy to lose its way. He looked at everyone, spit out the straw stalk, and said firmly: "Go back, everyone observe carefully, and find the traces left by the mother-in-law's team as soon as possible!" ”
They hurriedly rushed back, carefully looking for clues along the way, and finally found a problem in a quagmire, there should have been animals in the quagmire before, stirring up all the mud inside, Yan Cannon found a charcoal in a pile of silt, not completely burned out.
"I said that there were no traces of them camping and resting along the way, it turned out that they had all been dealt with, these people rested by the mud, and after the rest, all the traces were disposed of, and the rest was thrown into the mud! Chenyi's hand is so beautiful! Zhao Zixuan also found other things in the quagmire.
Zhang Xiaohu checked it and found that there were indeed two directions to go from here, one was to the south, which was where they had just arrived, and the other was to turn southeast and walk along the edge of the forest.
"Get in the car, these people can't go far!" Yan Cannon shouted.
"Uncle, we won't chase anymore!" Zhang Xiaohu sighed.
"What's the matter, why didn't you chase it, now it's finally catching their tails!" Zhao Zixuan said hurriedly.
"What if you catch up!" Zhang Xiaohu sighed: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" Forget it, it was we who offered to leave the Chenyi team in the first place, and now what is going back! I can only bring shame on myself. ”
"But without Chenyi's leadership, how can we go to Tianzhu Mountain!"
"I'm thinking, Tianzhu Mountain is not necessarily the destination we are going to, it is the video message that hints at us, we should think about it in the long run...... Zhang Xiaohu hesitated and said his thoughts.
"Lao Zhang! So what do you say? Zhao Zixuan looked at Zhang Xiaohu.
"Let's go to Nanmu Village!" To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xiaohu actually suggested that everyone turn back. He felt that in order to find a way back, he had to consult some books and find clues from them. And Nanmu Village is relatively close, so it is the best choice.
"Anyway, where you go, where I go!" Zhao Zixuan thought about it and felt that what Zhang Xiaohu said also made some sense.
Yan Dacang looked at this group of people, and there was originally some hesitation in his heart whether to continue to go with that god woman, Zhang Xiaohu's proposal was in his thoughts, after all, when he came here, everything happened too fast, it was too strange, he should plan what to do next, and he was in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Just with me!" The wine in that village tastes really good, and I can drink it again when I go back! ”
As for King Peter, although he was reluctant, no one in the team asked for his opinion, and he had to go back with everyone...
They clearly remembered the location of Nanmu Village, and they could see the village just by walking more than two days to the north.
But in fact, two and a half days later, when they came here, in the darkness of the night, they found that the village was gone, and that there was only a small hill in the original location of Nanmu Village, and that the surrounding area was flat for several kilometers, and that the vast lake reflected the stars in the sky not far away.
"What a situation! What about Minamiki Village? Several people were completely stunned, and they could vaguely identify from the surrounding environment, Nanmu Village should be in this location, but now they couldn't even see a shadow.
"it! Are we being hit by ghosts?" Yan Cannon scratched his head, and he suddenly thought of the grenade he had thrown earlier. He ran to that position, but there was no sign on the ground, only a few small grasses growing strong in the cracks of the stones.
"Can anyone explain what this is all about? Such a big village, are we collectively hallucinating! Zhao Zixuan wondered.
"Lao Zhao, it must not be an illusion, our carriage is the best proof!" Zhao Xiaohu couldn't figure out what was going on.
King Peter ran to the hill and looked into the distance, and only the lake was surrounded by a kind white light, and the rest of the place was pitch black.
"Senior!" Li Yichen suddenly grabbed Zhang Xiaohu's clothes lightly and whispered, "Look, what is that?" ”
Zhang Xiaohu found that on the hill, two green lights suddenly lit up, which looked particularly terrifying in this dark environment!
Those two green lights, one will turn on and the other will go off, and they look very weird.
There was a strange aura around it.
"Come back, King Peter, don't stand on it!" Zhang Xiaohu felt that it was better to let King Peter return to the carriage first, if there was really something to do, it would be convenient to escape.
"Boy, what do you say!" King Peter replied loudly as he walked slowly. He suddenly exclaimed, "What's wrong with the ground!" ”
Zhang Xiaohu and the others below found that the hill began to change slowly, and the two green lights continued to rise. Soon, they finally knew what it was, it turned out to be a titan python, where it was coiled. Now it was awakened by the crowd and stretched out. King Peter, who had been standing on the serpent, slipped to the ground.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Zixuan felt a cool breath spread up his back, and his whole body began to tremble violently.
"Get out of the way!" I saw that Yan Cannon quickly threw the grenade at the Titan Python, and everyone was not far away, and they all hurriedly lay on the ground when they saw this situation.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the grenade exploded in the right eye of the titan python, and for a while blood flew. Under the wound, the giant python's thick body like a bucket began to writhe violently. Send out "Rustle! Voice.
But just one grenade will only anger this giant python, and it will not kill this monster.
Yan Cannon raised his gun, calmly shot at the other eye of the giant python, and shot 5️ a succession, but there was no practical effect, the giant python was continuously stimulated, raised his head angrily, and attacked Yan Cannon.
Yan Cannon saw the opportunity, turned over and climbed onto the head of the giant python, clasping the scales with his hands, no matter how the giant python struggled, he just couldn't shake off this killing god like a maggot attached to the bones.
Zhang Xiaohu got up from the ground and saw that Yan Cannon was as brave as a god descending from heaven, and he was lying on the head of the giant python, but he could only barely maintain his body, and there was no good way to subdue this prehistoric monster.
At this time, Yan Dacang's mind was blank, and all he thought about in his heart was that it was difficult to ride a tiger, when the giant python bit over, he only thought about how to avoid it, but the ghost made the god worse, he actually turned over to the head of the giant python, it was really bitter and couldn't say, he clasped the snake scales with both hands, and didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
The python was also uncomfortable with the foreign object on its head, and even began to curl up, trying to get rid of the foreign object by wrapping it.
Sure enough, when Yan Dacang saw this, if he didn't let go, he would be crushed into a meat pie, he took a breath, and his feet slammed on the python's body, and the person took advantage of his strength to leap up and landed on the nearby sand.
The python didn't notice the change, and was still wrapping around its body, turning into a huge ball.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the giant python in front of him, and knew very well in his heart that when the entanglement was over, the giant python would swallow everyone into his belly one by one. He was so anxious that he had no idea at all.
The python was entangled for a while, the green eyes in the darkness reappeared in everyone's sight, the python was ready to start attacking, the first object it chose to attack turned out to be the three horses, in biological instinct, always list large objects as the first threat!
The carriage was finished, and nothing survived under the huge body of the python, and the carriage was twisted into pieces, and everything on the carriage was scattered to the ground. The three horses were being swallowed by the python one by one.
A box was thrown out of the carriage and happened to fall at Zhang Xiaohu's feet, he took a look at it, and found that this was the set of sickles built by Zhao Zixuan, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He took out the scythe and held it in his hand, looked around again, and found what he was looking for, a large and complete animal skin, large enough to enclose his whole being. He draped the animal skin on his body and took the initiative to rush to the giant mouth of the giant python...
When everyone saw Zhang Xiaohu as if he had committed suicide, he actually took the initiative to get into the mouth of the giant python, and for a while he shouted "Lao Zhang!" "Senior!" "Little baby!"
