Chapter 10: The Serpent
"We're now in the serpent's territory." The finger with red nail polish pointed out the window.
The hundred-meter-high Conglin seemed very quiet, except for some mosquitoes and birds, there was not a single large land animal!
Lu Tian turned his spiritual power into a straight line, observed it for half an hour, and frowned.
"You can also see, according to our observations, there are no large animals within ten kilometers of the giant snake, and those that once existed have all entered the belly of the snake!"
"The giant snake can't grow that big by eating these animals, right?"
Thor was puzzled.
"That's one of the purposes of our mission, to find out what is affecting the serpent, it must be there, otherwise it wouldn't be so abnormal."
Marilyn's starry blue eyes twinkled, and she looked at the rest of them earnestly.
"Oh? Yes, then I really want to see what kind of magical treasure it is, and it has such great power. ”
Lu Tian's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited, although he found that it didn't belong to him when he found it, he was also very curious, and his heart was itching.
Marilyn walked to a screen.
"Drip, drip!" After two clicks in a row, the screen showed the surrounding terrain and the location of other helicopters, which were advancing in an M-shaped formation.
Behind it is a red cordon, and within the red line is the range of the giant snake.
"Team 2 immediately launched a hundred miniature unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to detect the target area."
The reconnaissance aircraft is equipped with top-of-the-line cameras and is a state-of-the-art reconnaissance equipment that can detect the activities of targets very well.
Marilyn, as the commander-in-chief, issued combat orders in an orderly manner.
It seems that the other party has made a lot of preparations for this mission to reduce the possibility of failure.
The team continued to move forward, not very fast, but the palm-sized drone quickly disappeared from sight, and the distant scene also appeared on the screen.
It is still an endless dark green forest, but the picture is lowered by hundreds of meters, moving forward against the surface of the forest.
"We're going to stop here, and if we go inside, it can feel the roar of the planes, and it will have an impact on our movements." Marilyn said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fuselage slowly slowed down, found a place with few trees, and slowly landed.
Before landing, a team of mercenaries in camouflage uniforms went down first and processed the ground before more than a dozen helicopters landed smoothly.
In addition to the plane they were on, each plane carried dozens of people and a lot of equipment, and as soon as they landed, hundreds of people were busy.
In less than half an hour, a temporary base of several acres in size began to take shape.
They sprayed some potions nearby, and the faint smell of medicine spread, and all kinds of mosquitoes gradually disappeared, except for the sultry climate and the scorching sun overhead, it was a good temporary area.
Lu Tian and the others didn't do anything, they were still discussing the combat plan in the cabin, exchanging specific actions with each other.
"The drone is coming!" One sentence attracted the attention of Lu Tian and others.
At the end of the high-definition jungle picture, a river several kilometers wide appears in front of you.
The river is calm and clear from a distance, but when you really get closer, you can feel that it is flowing and turbid.
The river is wide, wider than a normal lake, and is home to a lot of aquatic animals.
Drones are like small birds flying on the surface of the river, passing pictures one after another.
Several people rarely see these landscapes, so they look at them seriously.
"Look, this is the snake." Marilyn gestured at an area near the shore.
Through the river, you can vaguely see the figure of a giant snake, hiding in the water like a monster.
Even if I have seen the picture, I am shocked at the moment, the giant whale in the sea Lu Tian has seen it, but this is the first time that the giant snake comparable to the giant whale has been encountered.
It's not as stout as a whale, but it's as long as it's comparable.
You must know that the land is not as good as the ocean, and without the vast environment of the ocean, the size and number of animals on land are far inferior to those of marine life.
As a hundred drones fly to all angles, the images are integrated, and a comprehensive three-dimensional scene comes to life.
The body of the snake of more than 100 meters is bent and immersed in the turbid river water, and it rises and falls slightly with the flow of the river.
Most of the body is in the water, just a zigzag shadow, and a part of the surface of the water can be deduced in its entirety.
Basketball-sized swarthy black scales hide in the dark river waters, creating a perfect camouflage. It is only through the close shooting of the drone that people can see the faint lines on its scales and feel the power contained under its strong scales.
The most striking thing was the head of the snake the size of the hut, and there was no doubt that he would be able to swallow the elephant and achieve the great reversal of the snake swallowing the elephant. In the boiler-sized vertical eyes, the gaze was cold and merciless.
"The drone is like a mosquito to it, and it doesn't bother to pay attention to it, and it doesn't provoke it. Wait a minute, I'll send a helicopter to attack it, provoke it and lure it here. ”
Marilyn pointed in a direction, about seven or eight kilometers from the base they were building, which was densely wooded and far from the big river, and was a good place to make traps.
"Are we just ambushing it there?" The Thorn King's somewhat hoarse voice sounded, and he walked slowly in that direction with his cane.
She had to prepare first, so that she could manipulate a large number of plants to trap the serpent.
"Boom, boom, boom......" A helicopter took off into the air, branches and leaves flew wildly, and the picture of the plane was also transmitted, flying straight towards the giant snake and disappearing.
"Aren't we going along?" Thor asked in a loud voice.
"In order to prevent the serpent from sensing us, we will not go, and we will do it when it falls into the trap." Marilyn said with a smile, and the fascinated Thor stared at him glazed.
"Hehe, let's watch first!" Marilyn ignored Thor's gaze and continued to click on the screen, issuing some orders from time to time, everything tightly organized.
Lu Tian had to admire this woman, she was both talented and beautiful, and she was perfect.
I can't help but think of someone, and he sighed like this at the time.
"It's here!" The enchanting voice pulled Lu Tian back to reality, and his eyes were focused on the screen.
"Boom!" An explosion sounded, causing a thousand splashes of water, breaking the calm of the river, and the mist obscured the view.
Then came the sound of paddling water, and a huge snake's head emerged from it, and the water slid off the snake and fell back into the river, with a flash of anger in its eyes.
Anyone who is disturbed will get angry during their lunch break.
......The helicopter's own weapons vented its firepower, and countless bullets flew out, hitting the snake scales, and a series of sparks flowed out.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by a layer of sturdy scales and failed to hurt the giant snake.
Looking at this scene, the two men on the gunship broke out in a cold sweat.
In order to attract the serpent's hatred, the helicopter is very close to it, less than fifty meters, and if they can't avoid the serpent's attack, they may become the serpent's belly.
"Fake, what a monster!" Seeing that this weapon was ineffective against the giant snake, the two scolded one after another, and could only control the plane to retreat.
It just escaped the serpent's protruding water, and the water flew into the distance like a cannonball.
Marilyn said: "This snake doesn't have any special abilities, except for being able to squirt water. ”
Marilyn continued: "When it leaves the river, it has no advantage but strength. ”
Lu Tian nodded, he also thought it was good, as long as he was careful, this mission was nine out of ten.
"Roar" The sound of the snake that should have screamed at this moment turned into the roar of a beast after it had a huge size, which also means that it is really angry.
With a flick of the snake's body, the front body quickly left the water, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the shore, the ground was compressed and sunken, and a new snake path was formed.
Seeing the giant snake leave the river, the two hurriedly raised their flight altitude, and a missile was launched and hit the snake's head.
The giant snake deviated slightly, but was still hit on its body.
"Bang!" Dozens of meters of flames rose up, roaring in pain and enjoying it.
"This small missile can't hurt it, the big one can hurt it, but it will definitely escape."
The voice of explanation came, which made Lu Tian and Thor also understand something.
High-lethal weapons can still destroy this monster, but creatures of this level have extraordinary senses, and in a fatal situation, the weapon has not yet hit it, and it is estimated that it will run away.
Unless nuclear weapons are used as weapons of mass destruction, but that is not realistic.
Pointing to the wide river, Marilyn said, "The reason why we are anxious to hunt it is not only because we urgently need its things, but also because we are afraid that it will not have enough food and run along the river to the sea, and then there will be no chance." ”
"Are there more terrible monsters in the sea?" As soon as Lu Tian heard the ocean, he thought of the creatures in the sea again, rolled his eyes, and asked.
Anyway, there is a database in front of you, so don't ask in vain.
"Yes, and far more powerful than this snake!" The affirmative answer is also expected.
Thor was a little bored, holding a cup of coffee and gulping it down, admiring the beauty in front of him.
The serpent's head was a little scorched, and its eyes seemed to be able to see a trace of red light, and a shock bounced towards the provocateur in the eye.
Seeing the serpent's movements, the pilot hurriedly moved the plane to the side, dodging the attack, but was also swayed by the high-speed air.
The serpent catapulted into the back of the helicopter and was about to turn around to continue the attack, only to find that the thing that provoked it had run in front of him.
"Da ......" is another tickling attack.
In this area, no creature dared to do this, and the giant serpent flicked its tail to knock the flying thing down.
The action of flicking his tail made Lu Tian's mouth open wide, and he thought that it could not simply be called a snake, so he convinced himself.
Snakes do not attack with their tails, but only wrap around and use their teeth.
From time to time, the serpent catapulted and tried to shoot down the helicopter, but was always dodged by it. On the contrary, it was scorched black by a missile from time to time, but it failed to really hurt it.
Unconsciously, it is getting farther and farther away from its original place.
