Chapter 279: Fierce Attack

Zhao Youyu was already holding the dagger, and his back was tightly pressed against the cliff. With a width of less than one meter, it is impossible for people to stretch their bodies at all, let alone fight with a python. Just when Liang Cheng was curious about what Zhao Youyu would do with this python, suddenly the python turned its head and actually crawled towards Liang Cheng!

Liang Cheng's feet trembled violently, and the muscle above his knee shook unnaturally.

"Don't shake." Zhao Youyu reminded Liang Cheng in a low voice.

"I know." I closed my eyes slightly and leaned the back of my head against the cliff, "But I can't help it." ”

The python is getting closer and closer to me, and from its eyes it is reflecting Liang Cheng's slightly raised neck!

At this moment, Zhao Youyu suddenly jumped up and jumped into the deep ravine! I saw him stretch out his hand and grab a vertical vine!

As the abdominal muscles contracted violently, Zhao Youyu actually flipped horizontally one hundred and eighty degrees around this vine! Just like a gymnast, cancel out the impact of jumping! Immediately after, a cold light slashed out from his hand, cutting through the vines that the python was entwined with!

Because the python was straightening its neck and preparing to attack Liang Cheng, Zhao Youyu's sudden attack did not give the python time to react! The python fell into the ravine with its long vines!

Zhao Youyan clung to the vines tightly, and his face was already pale.

"What's wrong?" Liang Cheng asked.

Zhao Youyan replied in a deep voice: "Weapon injury? ”

The plank path gets lower and lower, and soon it reaches the ground. The vines were intertwined among the trees, and we immediately stepped out of the trees. Liang Cheng had already been to this place so he didn't care much about it, Zhao Youyu looked at the surrounding terrain, and then squatted on the ground.

"Snake's den." Zhao Youyan said coldly.

Chen Qi looked at the edge of the bushes. The air was cool, and not a single grass grew on the dry ground. Chen Qi walked leisurely, suddenly stepped on a piece of soft soil, and suddenly retracted his feet!

"Mire?" Chen Qi squatted down and picked up a handful of soil with his fingers, the soil was dry, crumbled into a wisp of soil ash and fell to the ground.

"How can there be a quagmire in this terrain?" Zhao Youyan frowned, and suddenly his feet sank, and the soil began to soften!

Zhao Youyan immediately jumped to the hard ground on the side, and the expression on his face was even more surprised: "The earth's crust is moving?" ”

Chen Qi shook his head: "No, did you find that the quagmire appeared by following your walking position?" ”

Zhao Youyan observed carefully, indeed, as long as he stood there, a quagmire would immediately appear, and then it immediately turned back to hard ground!

"The formation of the mire followed the movement, and then Liang Cheng did not move but did not form the mire," Chen Qi said as he walked.

"That just means we have something under our feet!" Zhao Youyu suddenly realized, took out an explosive from his backpack, and pulled out the safety bolt. The explosives were thrown into the mire, slowly sinking, and with a muffled sound, the mire was blown up into a one-meter-high mud wave!

Then, a huge snake head burst through the ground with a roar!

To be precise, the one that broke through the ground was not an ordinary python head, but a very special type of mutation. It has no eyes, only two slightly protruding nostrils, which are blocked by pistons. Its mouth and lips had become one, and the hardened lips had turned into huge fangs that attached to the hard, powerful jaws. Its lips were surrounded by tentacles covered in dirt.

After the giant python broke through the ground, it smashed hard at Zhao Youyi, Zhao Youyu flashed to the side lightly, and the giant python smashed to the ground.

The astonishing scene happened, the python did not smash into the ground as straight as we thought, but went straight into the ground as if it were on the water!

When I stepped on the ground where the python entered, I found that the ground was extremely hard!

"Earth Dragon." Chen Qi said with a frown.

The python never came up again after it dived underground, and all three of us stood silently in place.

"What is an Earth Dragon?" Liang Cheng asked Chen Qi.

"It's a very old creature, it's a variant of the early python." Chen Qi replied, "As you can see, its eyes have degenerated, its teeth have turned into hard jaws, and its lips have evolved whisker-like tentacles. ”

"The deterioration of the eyes is due to the fact that it rarely sees sunlight underground, or for better survival, and the presence of tentacles allows it to move more quickly in the soil." Chen Qi continued, "Because this giant python resembles a dragon and lives in the ground, it is called the 'earth dragon', but it is recorded in the literature that this creature has long been extinct." ”

Liang Cheng looked at the high cliff wall and asked, "Then why didn't it go to the ground above?" ”

"Maybe it's because it can't drill into hard rock." Zhao Youyan said lightly, "This cliff should have been cracked by thousands of years of crustal movement, and perhaps according to the structure of the fault, it can be believed that there is a very thick layer of rock between the ground above and the ground here. ”

Chen Qi nodded: "It hunts by hearing, and if we move around, it will definitely be noticed." ”

"What if we run?" Zhao Youyan looked at Chen Qi lightly.

Chen Qi shook his head: "It is recorded in the literature that its movement speed in the soil is the speed of an ordinary car running rapidly. ”

Zhao Youyan lightly took out his hand weapon from his backpack and aimed at a clearing on the edge of the jungle in the distance: "What if we attract it to other places?" ”

As he was talking, Zhao Youyan pressed the board machine, and the piercing ammunition flew out of the weapon mouth with a roar, cutting through a heat wave, and a deep bullet hole immediately appeared in the clearing. At the same time, a powerful force swept under the ground beneath our feet, and the ground slightly raised a moving mound! In an instant, the Earth Dragon burst out of the ground, and then with a loud roar, it sank into the ground with a bullet casing.

We all gasped, the speed of the earth dragon had greatly exceeded our imagination. That way, even if it were to be lured elsewhere, it would still have enough time to attack us again. Zhao You's brows furrowed even deeper. I looked at Chen Qi eagerly and asked, "Doesn't it have any weaknesses?" ”

Chen Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that according to the description in the literature, if it is the ground without any obstacles, no animal can be its opponent." ”

"What if we're not on the ground?" Zhao Youyu said lightly, his eyes were looking at a few vines perpendicular to the tree not far away, and a faint aura flashed in his eyes, "Who wants to give it a try?" ”

Liang Cheng and Chen Qi shook their heads almost at the same time. Chen Qi looked at Zhao Youyan and added: "It's completely impossible, although the distance is not too far, but it is still impossible for us to run." Of course, even if you could, we wouldn't. ”

"How about I'll run over and then help you get its attention?" Zhao Youyu said and inserted the hand weapon into his waist. Liang Cheng and Chen Qi nodded, and Zhao Youyu took off the backpack on his back and carefully threw it to Chen Qi. Chen Qi also took out his weapon and aimed it at a clearing in the opposite direction where Zhao Youyu was running.
