Out of the town's dilapidated asphalt road, you come to a clean, sturdy concrete road. The concrete road is the approach part of the bridge, so the construction quality is very high.

The mission issued by the Postal Union here was originally to open the Northern Passage, which was considered a collective mission, and all the hunter squads that joined were rewarded according to merit. What everyone didn't expect was that this task was unexpectedly difficult.

Due to the lack of progress in the current task of opening up the trade route, and the hunter team cannot be without income, this big task has been refined into specific small tasks, such as hunting and killing monkeys and pythons that harass the trade route, and each giant python or monkey killed can get rewards, and the specific reward amount will be evaluated according to the actual situation.

Zhang Le looked around, but he didn't know any hunters. Zhang Le's identity has been revealed, he is the core personnel of the alliance, and he came here to observe the progress of the mission. Hunters are not stupid, and an observation task like Zhang Le's is obviously an advantage or disadvantage, and people who have nothing to do with it can't get it at all, so everyone's perception of Zhang Le and Jesse is not very good at first.

However, after yesterday's incident of Zhang Le driving away the mutant creatures in the town, the attitude of these people has also changed, after all, hunters have to rely on strength to speak, and those with real skills will always be recognized by more hunters.

This morning, Zhang Le and the mayor Andrew participated in the operation of the hunter team, although Zhang Le did not know the hunters, but after the hunters saw Zhang Le, they all greeted him warmly, of course, in comparison, the caterpillar seems to be more popular, everyone believes that the caterpillar drove away the snakes, insects and ants in the town, and Zhang Le just happened to have an obedient caterpillar.

After walking more than two kilometers, Zhang Le saw the wide river surface, and the approach bridge was almost above the water surface. The hunters all stopped their advance, got off the approach bridge, and headed west, the lower reaches of the river.

Andrew stopped, handed Zhang Le a telescope, and said: "If you continue to walk forward, you will reach the forbidden place of pythons, let's stop, you can stand here and observe the hunting of pythons by the hunter team." ”

Zhang Le knew that Andrew was worried that he would have an accident, so he "took care" of him like this, and the more likely reason was that he was worried that Zhang Le's strength was not good.

Zhang Le did not refuse Andrew's kindness, stopped, pretended to raise the telescope, and looked around to observe the situation. The bridge deck is clean and unobstructed, but under Zhang Le's super eyesight, he can see that there is a thick layer of shiny film on the bridge deck, which should be formed after the mucus on the animal's body is dried. A gust of wind blew, and Zhang Le could smell a strong fishy smell.

The position of the approach bridge is very high, and the position of the river bank where the hunter team is located is very low, so even if the hunter team has gone a long way, it is still in Zhang Le's field of vision.

The Hunter Squad has been on a mission here for some time now, and they are becoming more and more adept at dealing with pythons. Most of these officially recruited hunter squads are in groups of ten, but there are also a number of other free hunter squads. Most ten-man hunter squads are equipped with three giant crossbows wielded by hunters with two mutations of strength, each with a mutant of strength as a supporter, and the remaining four with two pikemen and two heavy axemen.

The one-meter-long arrowhead has four giant barbs that will not fall off easily when shot into the snake's body, and the tail of the crossbow arrow is attached to a long rope, and the other end of the rope is held in the hand of the auxiliary hand. The crossbow archer is the first to strike, and once the bolt is shot into the python's body, the auxiliary hand will immediately wrap the rope around a nearby fixture, maybe a boulder, maybe a tree, and then the pikemen will attack the eyes and neck of the python, and the axeman will focus on the python's neck.

Zhang Le listened to Mayor Andrew's introduction to the attack methods of the hunter team, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, human intelligence and cooperation are indeed the greatest wealth.

Maybe it's because the reputation of the giant python hunting team is too great, or maybe there is something special today, the hunter team traveling along the river bank walked about two kilometers, and not a single giant python appeared. One whistle after another sounded, and the hunter squad blew the signal to retreat.

Zhang Le asked: "Is it that as long as someone steps on the bridge in the middle of the river, a giant python will appear?" I want to go up and for a walk. ”

Andrew's face changed abruptly and said: "Mr. James, this is not a joke, I forgot to show you just now, the upper highway bridge is indeed without snakes, but the lower railway bridge has more than a hundred pythons resting on it every day." As long as someone comes to the middle of the highway bridge, maybe just to the edge, these giant pythons will come up collectively to attack, not to mention that we only have more than 30 hunter squads, even if we send all the free hunters over, it is not enough for the python to eat, not to mention, in the river, there are more than 10 super pythons more than 100 meters long. Lord Victor wanted to get closer and check it out last time, but he was almost eaten by a super python! ”

Zhang Lenao made up the scene of Victor's embarrassment and escape, which was a little funny and a little worried. The basic strength and agility of many animals are much higher than that of humans, compared to animals, the highest achievement of human evolution lies in the brain, and now humans have to rely on primitive strength and agility to compete with animals for this world, and it is obvious that they will be at a disadvantage. If we consider the mutated values, the difference in physical strength between humans and animals is even greater.

According to Mayor Andrew's guidance, Zhang Le got off the approach bridge and looked at the railway bridge directly below the highway bridge. Unexpectedly, Zhang Le found a row of Chinese characters: ...... of the X Engineering Bureau of China Construction, there should still be characters at the back, but the corresponding cement surface is peeling off, and there are many gun holes on the side of the bridge, it seems that there was a fierce battle here.

When Zhang Le saw this group of giant pythons for the first time, he was a little stunned. Dragon? Certainly not like a dragon. But the bulging scales and huge pimple heads of these snakes don't look like those giant anacondas with smooth and slippery heads. According to the earliest information, these giant pythons are giant pythons, but no matter how much Zhang Le wanted to break his head, he didn't expect that most of these mutated giant pythons with a body length of more than fifty meters looked so special. Maybe a foreigner will not think of the concept of "dragon" when he sees these giant pythons, one reason is that the appearance of the western dragon and the eastern dragon is very different, and the other is that the dragon in the west is the dragon, unlike China, there is a saying that the dragon is a dragon, among animals, in addition to the carp, the snake is a creature that is more likely to become a dragon.

If dragons really exist, these pythons are probably the most dragon-like creatures. In both Chinese and Western cultures, dragons are among the most powerful creatures at the top.
