Chapter 3: Purple Scale Python
The topography of the mountain is very different from before, and the group of people who came out to hunt was wandering around without a specific direction, and at this time they also lost their way in this mountain, and they didn't know where they went.
"Young master, we can't go any further, looking at the trend of this mountain, we must have strayed into the depths, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go any further!" This person looked a little older, but he thought about it and reminded him when he saw that the situation was wrong.
That man was a very famous hunter in Twilight City, named Hou Lin, and everyone often called him Hou Hu. Although he has a lot of hunting experience, there are still times when he misses.
Just a few years ago, Hou Lin encountered an ancient beast covered in fire in the depths of the ancient veins of this Gangshan Mountain, and because of that hunt, he lost his right arm. Now, in order to live, he can only be wronged under the command of this little demon king and be at his mercy.
"Uncle Hou, how can you become less bold when you get older, a few mountains will scare you like this! I haven't had enough fun, go forward and walk, maybe you can meet bigger prey!" Zhai Feng scoffed at this, unmoved, and still insisted on moving forward.
Mu Tian looked up at the surrounding mountains, which were stacked on top of each other, towering into the clouds, and the surrounding area was silent, no insects and birds chirping, and it was too quiet compared to other places.
Hou Lin's worries are actually not unreasonable, because in this environment, there are usually territorial overlords, and in this mountain, those who can dominate a territory's territory must be very powerful beasts.
Although it was the scorching sun outside the mountain at this time, in this mountain range, the sunlight was blocked by the peaks, and it was impossible to invade this gloomy territory.
"I advise you to listen to what this uncle has to say, it's not a wise choice to go any further!" Mu Tian was inexplicably worried in his heart, he seemed to sense the existence of danger.
Zhai Feng turned around, his expression was very cold, he didn't seem to like others to give him advice, what he needed was absolute obedience, no matter who it was.
"Believe it or not, I'm going to cut out your tongue right now and feed it to the dogs!"
"Young master, we didn't come out with a dog...... one of the attendants hurriedly answered.
"Bastard, did I ask you to interject, dare to dismantle Lao Tzu's platform!" Zhai Feng was annoyed after hearing this, waved the bow in his hand and slammed it on the man's head, the bow was broken into two pieces, and the man also covered his head and didn't dare to gasp.
The others were still pursing their lips and snickering, and they all became serious when they saw the situation, but Mu Tian still laughed happily.
Zhai Feng was furious, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and walked towards Mu Tian angrily, grabbing his collar with one hand, and holding the dagger around his neck with the other.
He is not as tall as Mu Tian, and when he grabbed the other party's collar and lifted it up, he couldn't make up his strength, so he could only stand on tiptoe and make do.
"You give me some peace, don't think I don't dare to kill you!" Zhai Feng's eyes are sharp, he is a ruthless character, no wonder everyone else is afraid of him.
"The knife is in your hand, you can kill if you want, you don't have to consult with me. Mu Tian looked at him calmly and said.
"Hmph, you want to die, I won't kill you, when you go back, you will have to suffer, wait!" Zhai Feng pushed it away, grabbed a bow from the person next to him, and continued to move forward.
Hou tried to stop him, but to no avail.
At this time, the wind suddenly rose in the mountain, blowing from the other side of the mountain, although it was not autumn and winter, but it carried a hint of chill.
The rustling of the mountains and forests is not strange on weekdays, but it is very unsettling at this time.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a gust of wind, there's nothing to be afraid of, go further, if we don't find prey, we'll go back!" Zhai Feng said loudly.
Although the others began to resist in their hearts, they couldn't resist this little demon king, after all, his father was one of the best people in the twilight city, and no one could be respectful to him.
Mu Tian didn't care, after all, it was better to take risks with a few people than to wander around this mountain alone.
As they walked, they came to a very open area, which was surrounded by half-buried stones, barely covered by trees, and even weeds grew sparsely in a few corners.
It seems to have undergone a landslide, and the trees that used to grow here were hidden by rocky soil, and after several heavy rains, the scene was formed.
But what makes Mu Tian feel strange is that although the mountain in front of him has also experienced landslides, the area of new soil on the mountain is suspicious, and what is even stranger is that the color of the mountain there seems to be a little different.
Hou Lin on the side also seemed to have discovered this problem, and his complexion gradually changed, even Tie Qing.
He quickly went up and grabbed Zhai Feng and didn't let him go any further. Zhai Feng was puzzled and was about to get angry, but Hou Lin covered his mouth.
"Don't speak, there's something wrong here!" Hou Lin said softly, but his eyes never left the mountain.
Although the others were puzzled, they also became vigilant, and they did not dare to speak loudly.
Zhai Feng listened to the sounds around him, and didn't see any movement for a moment, so he shook off Hou Lin's hand and scolded: "Uncle Hou, although you are older than us and have more hunting experience than us, please don't always be suspicious and startled!"
"What's wrong with such a broken place? Isn't it just a few broken mountains, is this fierce beast still hiding in this mountain!" Zhai Feng scolded, picked up a stone and smashed it hard at the mountain in front of him.
Although the stone hit the mountain, it came back with a different sound, which felt like hitting some metal object, and it was a very crisp sound.
Mu Tian chuckled in his heart, he looked at Hou Lin, and found that his face was even more pale. Hou Lin pulled Zhai Feng back step by step, while Zhai Feng kept struggling in his hands.
The mountain in front of him suddenly moved, yes, no one was mistaken, the mountain actually moved, like a wave to the mountain.
The earth at the foot of the mountain exploded at this moment, and suddenly a huge head poked out, and a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the smoke and dust, which were the size of a water tank.
The behemoth shook off the dirt that had covered its body, revealing dark purple scales that covered the mountainside, and the side where the light shone with a chilling light.
It is a very large purple scale python with two distinct protrusions on its head, and the higher the protrusion, the longer it gets, and it can grow into a antler-like structure. In addition, the purple scale python is brutal by nature and has a very strong sense of territory.
"Everyone, run back and leave its territory!" Hou Lin knew the habits of this snake, as long as he didn't mess with it and quit its territory dutifully, he would be able to get out of it completely.
But who knows, Zhai Feng was very excited to see such a huge thing, he threw off Hou Lin's shackles, and shouted: "I'll just say, if you go further, you will definitely encounter bigger prey, and today I will hunt this beast for you to see!"
After speaking, Zhai Feng drew his bow and arrows and quickly fired three arrows at the python, although each arrow hit the target, but it did not bring significant damage effect, and even the arrow was directly broken by the hard scales.
