Chapter 16: Weak as I
The expected vibration has not come, but the smell of vomiting is getting stronger and stronger.
I felt the air around me gradually solidify, and this frozen air was pushed by the approaching monster, and I couldn't get through it.
Under this pressure, I shrank back. The walls of the cave are not smooth, and I don't know what is behind it, and I am going to die.
I reached out and fumbled backwards, grabbing something that was holding on to me. Tugged, didn't drag, subconsciously added a lot of strength to his hand, only to hear a click This thing was dragged in front of me, I looked at it, and couldn't help screaming.
It turned out to be a chin in his hand!
I was startled and scurried forward. At that moment, something from above fell behind me with a thud, and the deadly grinding sound suddenly rang out.
If this thing was Liu Shi, it would never be so bad, but it's a pity that I'm just a little policeman in peacetime, and I haven't even seen a dead man a few times, let alone a dead man's chin suddenly appeared in my hand when my nerves were so tense.
Now that my cries may have revealed our whereabouts, the average person might have a gambling mentality, keep quiet, and hope to be able to hide from it. After all, Liu Dongxi is an old man, knowing that if he is blocked in this immobile tree hole at this time, there is only a dead end, and only by attacking decisively can he have a glimmer of life, so he rushed out with a low roar and pushed me in the back.
I had not recovered from the fright, and I was unprepared, and I was pushed on my heel and arched headlong into the branch at the entrance of the cave.
It was only then that I regained my strength, hurriedly raised my arms to cover my face, and looked up at the heights.
In front of me was a giant python.
I have to admit that it makes me feel a lot better, since I entered that mountain crack, it is like I have traveled to another world, encountering things that I have never heard of in my life, and I don't know where to run to the clever coping in the past, and the rest is just at a loss. Now facing this python, it can be regarded as saving me from this fear of being at a loss and unknown, although this python is a bit unusual, and extremely dangerous, but at least I have seen, touched and even learned how to deal with it, maybe this is the only thing that comforts me.
I saw that this python was covered with palm-sized black scales, and its whole body was swimming slowly on the tree, and it was shining with golden light under the sunlight, and its body was constantly moving and changing, and its abdomen was scraping the trunk with its scales but making a dull sound, its neck was stretched out in mid-air, and its head the size of a single sofa was facing me, and its white lips extended two white lines straight through the back of my head.
I know I've caught its attention when I rushed out. Pythons are creatures that are usually not very easy to use, and are largely blind to stationary objects, but are extremely sensitive to moving targets and full of desire to attack.
I couldn't help but secretly curse Liu in my heart that it wasn't a thing, if I hadn't seen him follow me out of the hole in the tree at this time, I would have thought that he was deliberately harming me.
All I can do now is to keep quiet, don't move, and hopefully remove the python's hostility towards me.
I froze myself there, not even daring to turn my eyes, only praying in my heart that the python would not be so hungry.
But apparently my prayers didn't help, and I saw the python's head begin to retract and more of its body propelled forward to hang in the air, gradually folding into a Z-shape.
Knowing that this was a precursor to the python's attack, I began to look for the nearest tree, and a feeling of despair gradually crept through my heart.
Liu Dongxi was hiding behind a tree at this time, set up a bow, and waved at me with one hand to ask me to find a tree to hide.
Isn't this nonsense? Looking at the way this python is ready to attack, how can I run faster than its attack speed?
At this moment, I saw this python's neck shrink back sharply, its cheeks bulging, and it looked like it was about to attack!
If you don't run at this time, I'm afraid you can only wait to be digested!
I jerked to the left, and my ankle and thumb burst out with tremendous force that pushed me toward the tree I had just looked at.
At this moment, Liu Dongxi's arrow shot into the air, and the giant python slid in my direction like a black satin, along an extremely smooth angle.
There is no way to avoid it!
In a panic, I rolled on the ground to avoid this huge mouth that hit at high speed, but I was still grabbed by the shoulder and thrown into the air!
I never thought that a python could have such terrible power and throw a person like me who weighs more than 180 pounds so easily!
Holding back the sharp pain in my shoulder, I struggled to open my eyes to find something I could grasp. Countless branches and leaves streaked across my body, and after breaking an unknown number of branches, a thick branch stopped my ascent.
I quickly hugged it and turned my head to observe the situation below. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look is even more fatal. I saw a huge mouth rushing straight up from below, and I don't know how it rushed up in such a situation where there was nowhere to borrow.
In desperation, I jerked over the branch and slammed forward a few times, avoiding the python's huge jaw, but I was knocked down by this violent impact!
Although after this toss from heaven to earth, but the dagger is still tightly held in my hand, at the moment when my body lost its center of gravity, I subconsciously pecked at the python's body, only to feel a shock in my hand, I don't know how much force erupted, even the skin of the wrist was broken as if it was about to crack.
The knife pierced extremely hard, and the blade barely went halfway in. I grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and instead of hanging myself on the roller coaster with the python dancing in pain, I just cushioned it a little and fell down.
In this very short time in the air, I quickly kicked the python body, and changed direction in the air, trying to avoid falling to the hard roots, but by great coincidence, I avoided the huge mouth that hit me like lightning, and fell to the ground hard.
My injured shoulder was so hurt that I almost lost consciousness and my head was blank from the violent concussion, so I didn't see the python's face slowly aiming at me.
It seems that only the last blow is left, and my story is coming to an end. At this time, an arrow suddenly shot into the eyes of the giant python, and Liu Dongxi rushed out from behind the tree and ran in the other direction with a loud shout waving his hands.
Attracted by him, the python turned around and chased after him, and Liu ran around several trees like an elven hunter, turning around from time to time to shoot an arrow, shouting at me as he ran, telling me to hide in the hole.
I wouldn't believe that Liu Dongfu would be able to kill this python or get rid of its pursuit, and at this time, when I heard him ask me to hide, I couldn't help but feel a surge of blood, and rushed over with my bare hands.
The giant python moved extremely fast on the ground, and Liu Dongxi couldn't run because of those shrunken toes, and was entangled by the python all of a sudden.
I was in a hurry, and rushed over and kicked the python in the belly. The python's belly is relatively soft, and it is estimated that this kick hurts it, and the python turned its belly in, revealing its hard back, and wrapped it tighter. I rolled my eyes when I saw Liu being entangled, and subconsciously kicked a few more times, but it didn't work at all. The scale armor of the python is like a piece of ceramic insert, hard and unable to focus. I tried to attack the python's head instead, but the python raised its head so high that I couldn't reach it.
At this time, the python was already taking the prey in his hand seriously and completely ignored me.
Listening to the muffled sound of dislocated joints coming from Liu Dongxi's body from time to time, I couldn't do anything, a feeling of weakness hit me deeply, in front of this giant beast, the pale combat power of human beings is not even comparable to a domestic cat. My weak claws and teeth could not cause any harm to it, and I could only watch as Liu was squeezed and eaten.
But I think the training I received was still useful, and that weak frustration didn't control me for a few more seconds. By the time I knew it, I was already running to find the spear that had been lost in the hollow of the tree.
The place where we fought with the python was some distance from the tree hole, and I ran to the hole as fast as I could, only to find a dry corpse planted in the tree hole with its head down, and a green short sword next to it.
The situation was urgent, and I didn't think much of it, so I reached out and took the sword, turned around and ran back. It's slow here, in fact, it was only four or five seconds, and when I was halfway through, I saw that Liu Dongxi's face was flushed, and the shape of the exposed shoulders seemed to be a little wrong.
The python had already opened its mouth wide and hung its head from it, and a trace of saliva kept dripping. I saw that the giant python was about to swallow Liu from the head, and I said that it was too late, it seems that Liu Dongwu still can't escape death!
