Chapter 18: Three Encounters (2)
Two hours ago.
"Wei Min, do you say Professor Wang, will they ..... this time?"
"Shut your crow's mouth, not this time, there are so many parasites."
"Exactly, patriotic classmates, we have to think about the good in everything. Wang taught them that they have repeatedly risked their lives for the sake of the country's archaeological cause, and that we should pray and bless them, not curse them. Liu Xiangdong took Pang Weimin's words and said with a straight face.
"Liu Xiangdong, what you said is not right, the patriotic classmates are just worried about the safety of the professor. Moreover, in the face of the Corpse Maggot King, he stepped forward to kill him desperately. Du Juan was a little unaccustomed to Liu Xiangdong and supported Zhao Aiguo.
"You ......" Zhao Aiguo was very annoyed when he heard Liu Xiangdong's words, you are just a cowardly thing who hides when he sees difficulties, and you dare to say me? However, it was a little surprising that the cuckoo spoke for him.
Liu Xiangdong's face changed sharply after seeing Zhao Aiguo say your words, and he pulled out a machete suddenly, which shocked him.
"Patriotic classmate, I'll just talk about it, why are you still using the knife. Weimin, tell me about him. Liu Xiangdong said as he leaned towards Pang Weimin's side, but Pang Weimin pushed him away vigorously and shouted:
"Be careful, everyone, there is a belly horn snake!"
This sound startled several people and looked back. If you don't look at it, you will see it, and when you look at it, your hairs will stand on end. A red-spotted forehead ventral horn snake stood up more than a meter tall behind them, and a pair of triangular eyes stared at them coldly.
Zhao Aiguo held a machete in his hand, and together with Pang Weimin, he confronted the red-spotted belly horned snake. It glared for a moment, then spat out a long scarlet snake hyacinth and pulled it in the air a few times, then swept the snake pupils away.
"Don't act rashly, don't provoke it."
Pang Weimin found that the red-spotted belly horned snake didn't seem to have the intention of attacking them, and he was even more worried that Huang Jiawei would make some noise under the fright, but it would be bad to provoke the beasts.
If he and Zhao Aiguo fought with them, he would not be afraid, but now that Li Ping and Du Juan, as well as the weak-legged Huang Jiawei were present, he was worried that they would be attacked by the red-spotted belly horned snake, so he decided to take measures to deal with all changes.
After stabbing the snake letter of the red-spotted belly horned snake more than a dozen times, he ignored Pang Weimin and them, and plunged into the yellow sand by himself, and disappeared after a burst of sand writhing.
"I'll it, it's so dangerous." Huang Jiawei finally couldn't help it, and sat on the ground with a plop, wiping his sweat.
"Weimin, this big snake is so strange, why doesn't it attack us?" Although Li Ping was also frightened, she was much calmer than Huang Jiawei.
"yes, what's going on with Wei Min?" Zhao Aiguo put away the machete, shook his head and touched the back of his head.
"I don't know much about the habits of the horned snake." Pang Weimin shook his head, and then instructed everyone to keep their eyes wide and warn immediately if they found an abnormality.
In the evening, Professor Wang and his entourage finally returned.
Pang Weimin secretly counted their numbers, and after careful observation, he did not find anyone injured. This is a little weird, isn't the red-spotted belly horned snake going at them? But he saw it in pursuit.
Or was the red-spotted belly horned snake killed by Xu Shan and Han Dong together? But if this was the case, Han Dong would have blown the sky out of the sky a long time ago.
The desert night was as cold as ever.
More than 300 meters away from the archaeological team's camping area, there was a sudden surge of sand patterns, and two belly horn snakes of about one meter quietly poked out of the yellow sand, staring coldly at a black shadow in front of them.
The two horned snakes quietly appeared behind the black shadow, and they suddenly burst out at this moment and bit away at the black shadow. The black shadow was indeed on guard, and immediately reacted, and with a flash of white light in his hand, the two triangular snake heads were immediately cut off, and Gollum rolled to the side.
The smell of blood from the head of the horned snake spread into the air, and as soon as it was blown by the night wind, it was smelled by the camels in the camping area almost instantly, and they immediately became a little restless, and crawled up with a sigh.
Bahar first sensed the anomaly and got out of the tent, followed by Xu Shan, Han Dong, Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo. Together, they felt that the camel seemed to be frightened inexplicably, and the four decided to search for it from four directions.
Pang Weimin searched eastward with a flashlight in his left hand and a two-foot-long military knife in his right hand. Soon he found two snake heads and snake corpses.
Dozens of meters away, there was a black shadow lurking on another sand dune, with a pair of cold eyes, staring at Pang Weimin's every move, and the black shadow's body seemed to lean forward and make an attack posture.
"Weimin, did you find anything over there?" Zhao Aiguo's shout made the black shadow stagnate, and then quietly disappeared into the boundless black shadow of the desert.
The four people surrounded the two snake heads and were a little surprised, and after some analysis, it must have been someone who attacked the ventral horn snake, because the wound of the snake head was very regular, as if it was cut by a sharp weapon in an instant. The speed and strength of the attacker were also astonishing, as precise as a scalpel.
This night, it was still not peaceful.
A few hours later, screams came from Huang Jiawei and Liu Xiangdong's tent: "Help, belly horn snake!" ”
Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo were awakened, and they immediately rushed out of the tent after sleeping in their clothes, and arrived quickly, and when they picked up the tent, they saw Liu Xiangdong's big belly facing them, he held a military knife in his hand, and seemed to be in a highly tense confrontation with something.
Through the afterglow, it can be seen that Huang Jiawei is trembling and squatting beside him, Huang Jiawei wants to go out, but Liu Xiangdong blocks the way.
The two looked into the corner of the tent and saw a snake coming through a crack in the stone, but it was an ordinary desert snake, and it was very small.
"Hey, this is an ordinary little snake cub, it's a shame to see how scared you are." Zhao Aiguo put away the machete, slapped Liu Xiangdong's big belly, and said with disdain.
"Weimin, patriotic, are you sure this is not a belly horn snake?" Liu Xiangdong hesitated when he heard this.
"You guys play slowly, let's go back to sleep." Pang Weimin shook his head, turned around and left.
"Nima, the little snake cub dares to scare labor and management, see that I don't chop you up." Liu Xiangdong was annoyed and angry, rushed over and raised his military knife to stab. The little snake was startled, immediately retracted its head, and disappeared.
"It's a bad thing, even if I dismantle this tent tonight, I want to find this little beast and kill it." Huang Jiawei also got up, picked up the military knife and ran to the tent to stab him.
The entire camping area could hear the two of them in a revenge campaign.
