Chapter Twenty-Four: Male and Female Black Pythons
Everyone had been discussing the problem of getting lost before, and they didn't notice any sounds around them, but when they heard this sound in the faint fog of the night, they suddenly felt a little hairy.
I subconsciously touched the back of my head, and without any coolness, I hurriedly followed the sound to look over.
The light of the four flashlights shone in unison into the darkness in the distance, and under the light slowly, we could roughly see the environment at this time - the path was almost three feet wide, flanked by mountain walls, the path was overgrown with all kinds of trees and weeds, and the feet were muddy, because it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and the surrounding vegetation was very dense, so we could not see the source of the sound at all.
"What could it be?" The pig's head asked softly as he drew his narrow-bladed pig-killing knife.
"Will there be beasts in this place?" The toad then asked.
Liang Ruoyi shook his head: "There may be fierce beasts in the jungle of southern Yunnan, but there should be no fierce beasts in the jungle of northern Yunnan...... Maybe it's a hare or something. β
"I won't ......" Budai Monk suddenly said: "Although the fierce beasts in the Yuecheng Mountains are rare, they also exist. β
Everyone was stunned, I looked at the seventh master, and said in my heart that this old monk is not shy about saying that there is something about Yuechengling, I opened my mouth and was about to ask the old monk what it would be, when the sound of Xi Xi sounded again, and this time, it was in our ears!
This frightened everyone: if it were those masters, we wouldn't be so afraid, but this beast with no head and tail in sight of the dragon made people a little overwhelmed.
I took a flashlight and slowly shone around, I was looking for it, the pig's head behind me didn't know why he took a step back, and the more than 200 catties of meat hit me with a stumbling stumble, I was a little annoyed, stood firm and turned my head and asked, "What are you doing?" What are you doing with me?! β
The pig's head ignored me, but continued to step back, still muttering, "I, I, I!" What's this?! β
We hurriedly turned around and looked at the place where he was shining, and saw a pair of walnut-sized red lights in the bushes about a foot away.
"What's that?" I was startled, instinctively leaned towards the second uncle, stretched out my hand and pulled out the dagger: "Tiger? Lion? Or a cheetah? It can't be another wolf pack, right?! β
"It's not ......" the seventh master muttered on the side: "This is a pair of giant python eyes, everyone retreat, slowly, don't alarm it." β
We took two steps back, but were stopped by the toad at the back.
"Hey, retreat! Waiting to die?! The pig's head turned his head and glared at the toad and scolded.
"That...... It's ...... dead to retreat," the toad swallowed and snorted.
Everyone was stunned, turned their heads to look behind, and found that where the toad flashlight was illuminated, there was also a pair of red eyes staring at us!
Depend on! It's over, and there are two giant pythons!
I swallowed as well: "That, what to do?!" This is not "Python Disaster"! β
As soon as I finished saying this, I heard a "hiss-hiss-" sound, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw the giant python in front of the pig's head suddenly burst out of the jungle, half of its body upright, and stared at us from a foot away.
Under the illumination of a few flashlights, we saw the appearance of this python clearly: the thickest part of the python's body, about two feet in diameter, the head is slightly larger than the human head, the body is pitch black, the snake's skin has dark brown dark lines, the flashlight light shines on the body, glowing with a faint black light, the snake has a huge bloody mouth on its head, and the dark red letter jumps outside the mouth, as if drooling......
Damn, judging from its upright body, this giant python should be almost two zhang long, compared to the golden python I saw in the Cave Palace Spirit Mountain a few months ago, it is not much better.
"It's broken...... the seventh master smiled bitterly: "I touched the egg python!" β
"Egg python? What is it? I was stunned and asked without looking back, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, the black python would bite me to death.
"If you guess correctly, there is a male black python in front of us, and the one curled up in the bushes behind us is a female black python waiting to give birth...... "The giant python at this time is very easy to be provoked, and it is much more ferocious than usual...... These two pythons aren't the biggest I've ever seen, but they're probably the trickiest ......"
Well, before I got to the place, I ran into these two things, and if they weren't good, they all had to die here......
"There's no way, try not to alarm these two pythons." The seventh master said that there seemed to be nothing he could do, and turned his head to look at the cloth bag monk.
"Go deep into the jungle." The old monk twisted the Buddha beads and said in a low voice.
Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that there was only this way at the moment, to let these two giant pythons know that we had no malicious intent, and then watch us leave slowly, which is the safest.
"Put away your weapons." The Seventh Master said to a few of us.
I was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and put away the weapons in my hands with the pig head and Liang Ruoyi, and with the second uncle and the cloth bag monk, I turned around and walked slowly towards the front where we thought it was a dead end.
A dozen feet were a little messy and a little careful to step on the slightly muddy ground, and everyone held their breath for fear of startling the two big snakes.
Unexpectedly, these two big snakes really didn't seem to be too hostile to us, and watched us leave behind us, and after about ten minutes, we walked about a few hundred meters, and then we felt a little relieved, stopped, and each breathed a sigh......
"It's ...... soaking wet," I smiled wryly and unzipped my coat, hoping that the breeze would dry my sweat.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the jungle seemed unusually quiet at night.
Liang Ruoyi took out the locator and glanced at it, and said softly: "They are still in Daiyun Mountain, you say, will they have any accidents?" β
"It's better if you have an accident!" The pig's head grinned and said, "I haven't looked down on this devil for a long time!" β
"I guess they thought something had happened to us." The second uncle said with a smile: "They may still be doing their best to find the Nanpan Divine Palace on Daiyun Mountain!" It is estimated that for a moment and a half, they will not think that we are already hundreds of miles away. β
Everyone smiled, and I looked at the seventh master on the side: "Seventh master, what kind of snake is that?" So big! β
"The big snake is a python, the big python is a python, the big python is a dragon." The seventh master seemed to be a little tired, leaned on the trunk of the tree on the side and drank water and said: "This is our ancient Chinese saying, of course, what I have seen with my own eyes is only the big python, as for the python, Jiao and dragon that are even higher than the big python, they just appear in legends." β
"But how can there be such a python here?" I said with a look of surprise: "The location we were just now is not many kilometers away from the nearest scenic spot, right?" β
"Giant pythons come out of the deep mountains and old forests, this is an old saying." The pig's head said: "I remember that more than ten years ago, when I was still following the Seventh Master, I once saw a giant python of about the same size. This thing is not affected by the external environment, but is greatly affected by genes. Some snakes do not belong to the python class, but if there is a genetic change, or if it is contaminated, it will also grow into a giant python. β
"That's so......" I sighed as I spoke, I had been carrying my little heart for so long, and now my chest was a little stuffy, so I took out a bottle of water from my backpack, took two steps back and sat down on a stone under the trunk behind me, and took two big sips, and then I felt better.
"Youβdon't move!" The toad on the other side suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and said with a trill.
"What's wrong?" I looked at myself, and then at the stone under me: "It's okay, it's good...... Why don't you let me move? β
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a cool breeze coming from the back of my head, which frightened me into turning and looking back, and I sat down on the ground - I don't know when, the huge black python two feet thick swam behind me, the head the size of a watermelon, less than half a foot away from me, the dark red letter twitched from time to time, and a pair of red eyes stared at me motionlessly.
"Itβit deliberately let us go...... "The Seventh Master whispered behind me, "for fear that we would affect the production of that female python...... I guess, it's hungry, Xiao Gu, I'll count one, two, three, let's run away, this python is not easy to deal with. β
"Oh...... I'm about to cry, I guess this python rushed over, and I was the first to die!
"One, two, three!"
The seventh master quickly counted three times, and I bounced up from the ground like a spring, and ran towards the darkness in the distance like crazy, staggering, rolling and crawling, and screaming loudly.
The rest of the people are not much better than me, the pig's head has become a burden, not much faster than me, and the second uncle is pulling me by my side, and the speed is a little faster.
I didn't run far, I heard a loud "pop", I turned my head to look, and found that the black python was like a black missile, chasing closely on our side, just now it seemed that there was a horse in front of it blocking its way, this monster actually flicked its tail and broke it!
Mom, if it hits me on the waist this time, then I will be directly dismembered!
In the dark, everyone ran into the distance without their lives, and the flashlight lights flickering everywhere reflected the anxiety in our hearts, the seventh master in front of them suddenly turned a corner, and the second uncle and I also hurriedly followed, but I didn't expect this turn to take a few steps, and suddenly slipped under my feet, instantly lost my center of gravity, and the second uncle fell out directly......
