Chapter 40: The Plague of the Python

Say it's the canopy overhead. In fact, it is very close to us. It's almost two or three meters. The scales of the snake can be seen clearly. It's a tree python. The thickest one is the thickness of a bucket. The canopy is dense. Most of the body is hidden inside, and I don't know how long. What amazes me is. The scales of the snake shuffle in the light of the miner's lamp. It's as if the snake has been gilded.

When I climbed up just now. There are certainly no pythons around. The snake must have crawled down these tangled canopies while we were resting. Pythons are slow to move outside of predation. The operation is stealthy. And there's still a little wind outside. The jungle was filled with the sound of leaves. Several people were confused. Didn't feel it at all. Panzi, who was keeping vigil, didn't notice its approach.

But it's not surprising that there are anacondas here. The rainforest was originally home to pythons. And weird things are seen too much. A big snake doesn't seem to be able to tense our nerves yet.

Panzi: They have all seen the world. Several of them were surprisingly calm. No one moved or screamed. This snake has a long attack range. Now I don't know if it's of interest to us or not. If you move rashly. Frightened the snake. An attack will be launched in an instant. We always suffer in the trees.

We're at a stalemate. The tree python slowly coiled down. A huge snake's head hangs underneath the branches. Took a look at us. Huang Sè's resentful snake eyes make people extremely uncomfortable in the dark night.

Panzi had already raised his gun. On the other hand, he was still pushing the fat man. This bastard can really sleep. No matter how much you push, you can't wake up. The black gold knife of the stuffy oil bottle was also horizontal behind his waist. In the other hand, the dagger was held backwards. Everyone subconsciously shrank back. Try to keep your distance from the snake.

I'm at the end. If you want to attack, you won't attack me first. I looked under the tree. I wondered if I could jump off. It's a tree, after all. And it's quite high. The event is not open. I'm afraid I'll suffer if I work hard.

After heavy rains. Waterfalls on both sides of the cliff face converge at the bottom of the canyon to form a large stream. Now the streams are merging. The mud under the trees has turned into a black spot. Underneath it should be roots and mud. I don't know how to run and I can't run away.

Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at the rainforest in front of him. At this time, the sound of the canopy shaking was heard all around...... This time it seemed to come from behind me.

Look back. My cold sweat came down like a waterfall. Right behind my neck hung a smaller tree python. It is also brown gold sè. This one is about the thickness of a thigh. Just an arm's length away from my face. A fishy smell came to my nose.

I shrank back in fear. The person in front shrank back. I shrank forward. A few people huddled together. There is no turning back.

I really didn't dare to move at this moment. Everyone froze there. Man glared at the snake. The snake glared at the man. Even the breathing is tightened.

I felt strange in my heart. Pythons are solitary animals. There is a strong concept of collar. Rarely hunts in tandem. Unless it is during mating. Could it be that the rainy season here is their mating season? It was really not the right time to come in. These two pythons are one after the other. It seems to be consciously trying to flank us. It is likely to be a male and female pair that have just finished mating. Remembering the human corpse inside the snake bone. I felt sick. I don't want to be your happy snack when I say fuck.

The two phases were at a stalemate for a long time. No one moved. Pythons may be rare in people. I couldn't figure out the situation for a while. So don't dare to attack. And the momentum of the stuffy oil bottle and the panzi is very strong. The two men stared at the snake's eyes like stone sculptures. Pythons seem to sense potential danger. Hesitation.

Ten minutes later. Sure enough, the two pythons couldn't find our flaws. It slowly shrank back into the canopy. Seems to want to give up.

I watched as the snakes on both sides rolled up. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Panzi's tense body also relaxed. The tip of the gun was slowly lowered. I rejoice in my heart. Let's be honest. In this kind of party fights with snakes. It's better not to fight. Not to mention the attack power of this snake. Even if you fall from here, it's enough to fall.

But just when I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. The fat man on one side suddenly rolled over. There was a very muffled snort. And also pulled a long nasal voice.

It was a sudden sound in the utter silence. Everyone was shocked. Aning hurriedly pressed his mouth. But it's too late. The whole tree shook violently. A bloody wind on one side. The tree python in front poked its head back again. This time, the snake's body has been bowed into a U-shape. At first glance, you knew that it was going to attack.

Pan Zi immediately raised his gun, but he was still a step too slow. The python bit like lightning. In a flash. Pan Zi reluctantly bowed his head. The head of the snake bit the side of his head. The stuffy oil bottle behind him had a bad view. Before he could dodge, he bit his shoulder. Then the muscular python swept in like a raging wind. In a very short period of time, its upper body like a dragon slammed against the snake bones at our feet. The pile of bones that had been crumbling suddenly fell apart. We were knocked over by the body of a snake. Then my feet collapsed. Everyone was wrapped in snake bones and fell.

Luckily, there were plenty of vines wrapped around the snake's bones. Broken bones and tendons. Halfway through the collapse, all parts were ripped by the vines. I was scratching my hands and feet. Grabbed the vine and slid down a few meters and hung up. Look up. I saw that the stuffy oil bottle was entangled by the python. Rolled into the air. The black gold ancient knife didn't know what to hit the square. The snake curled up. The more the plate is tighter. The stuffy oil bottle struggled but couldn't do anything.

I'm in a hurry. He shouted at Pan Zi to shoot quickly. I turned my head but couldn't see Panzi. I don't know where it fell. It was at this time. I saw the stuffy oil bottle in mid-air suddenly shrug my shoulders. The whole person shrank suddenly. It faded from the entanglement of the python's body in one fell swoop. Fall onto a branch. Turning over, he jumped onto the tangled vines and slid down. Slide to my side. Shouted at me, "Give me the knife!" "I hurried to draw my sword. But I was too nervous. I pulled it out a few times, but I didn't pull it out. At this time, the python found itself empty. I couldn't help but be furious. Snap back into the tree. In an instant, we were there. The snake's head flipped and bit violently.

"Holy!" I yelled. Seeing the bloody mouth coming towards his face. It's a visual impact that few people can see. The stuffy oil bottle grabbed the vine and tore a bone out of the vine and threw it over. The python dodged in the air. Bought us a little time. The bottle of stuffy oil yelled at me, "Jump!" ”

But by then I was already blinded. I don't know what I think. The condition is reversed, and shè curls up. I couldn't react at once. At that moment, the snake's head bowed again. The stuffy oil bottle "tsk". One kick kicked me over.

This kick was extremely hard. And the vine I pulled was broken. In a panic, it was a random scratch. But even a few scratches couldn't catch anything. It fell straight down. Hit several branches in a row. Then he fell it. Thankfully, there was water and mud down there. I rolled over a few times and lay down inside. A mouthful of mud. But it doesn't hurt very much.

In a trance, he was helped up. Just drag it out. I dragged a few steps before I started to feel hot pain all over my body. When I wiped the mud off my face, I saw that it was A-Ning and the fat man who were supporting me. Look around again. The miner's lamps fell into the mud and went out. Everything is ambiguous. Panzi pointed his gun at the tree. But from under the trees. It was pitch black inside the canopy. Nothing to see.

"How are you?" A-Ning asked me.

I shook my head and said it was fine. And they dragged me out. I said no. The kid was still in the tree. Can't leave him alone!

Just said that the whole tree was shaking wildly. The stuffy oil bottle jumped off the trunk of a tree like a monkey. At the same time, the leaves and bark rolled up in a huge black shadow, and a gust of wind followed. The two shadows were almost wrapped together and fell into the muddy water. The splash hasn't fallen yet. I saw a python rushing towards him with a pounce. The stuffy oil bottle flickered, and it was wrapped in a splash and was out of sight.

I looked at the heart and said I cāo. He was actually fighting this snake hand-to-hand. Hurriedly shouted Pan Zi. Go and help!

Pan Zi didn't wait for me to say that he had already scolded and rushed over. Tilt your head to avoid the splash. Raise your gun and aim. Finally the first shot was fired. His marksmanship is extremely good. One shot hit the snake in the head. The volley twisted the snake up. The bottle of stuffy oil turned out from under the snake. Pull out your legs and run out. The serpent didn't die. Flip it over. Like a spring, he reflexively pounced on it. But at the same time, Panzi is another shot. Knocked it back. He retreated at the same time. And then shouted at us: "I cover!" Get out of here—"

The voice did not fall. Suddenly, another tree python came down from the tree. He bit Panzi's shoulder at once. Then, in a flash, the serpent's body lifted him up with a bow.

That attack was too fast. No one reacted. We were shocked. He was already swept into the air. I watched him scratch his hands and feet. Suddenly, my heart sank. The heart is finished!

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. I saw that Pan Zi was not afraid of danger. One hand turned a few times. He turned his folding saber out. Then stab it upwards. Plunged into the snake's eye. The python's whole body was bent in pain. I was relieved at once. Panzi shook it off. Crash into a tree and tumble and fall down. His face was covered in blood. Then Aning started two cold fireworks from his backpack. Hands on knees and lit up. Rush to the middle of the python and Panzi. Blocking the python with a cold flame while yelling at us, "Drag him away." Run! ”

I yelled no! The temperature of the cold fireworks is not enough! A-Ning said. You know snakes don't know!

The fat man and I rushed over. He picked up Panzi and ran into the woods. But not a few steps have been taken. Suddenly, the water splashed like a wave of mud. Turn your head and look. The python behind the stuffy oil bottle was still not dead. The head of the serpent was covered with blood. The huge body chased the stuffy oil bottle in a rage. And the latter was rushing towards me. Huge pythons dance wildly behind them. It looked like it was flying.

The python is angry! The consequences are severe! This sentence popped into my head. Seeing that situation, my feet went soft. The stuffy oil bottle yelled "get down". The fat man grabbed me and ran a few steps forward. He fell into the water. The python arrived in an instant. As soon as the stuffy oil bottle and A-Ning rolled over and rolled into the mud. The python's massive body rolled against my back. One can't brake. I crashed into a big tree on the side. The tree almost snapped. Leaves and tree attachments fall like rain.

We get up. It's also unclear how to tell the difference between southeast and northwest. The fat man's murderous intent rises. He scolded: "I cāo you nǎinǎi." Fight with it! As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger from my waist. Rushed towards the smashing python. I rushed forward. Hold him by the waist. Don't let him pass. The stuffy oil bottle also climbed up. I saw blood all over his shoulder. Apparently very badly injured. He panted and pointed to the jungle to the side. He shouted at us, "Run." Something is wrong with these two snakes! ”

I saw that the stuffy oil bottle was injured like this. The fat man also muttered. Busy carrying Panzi on his back. Throw Panzi's gun to me. I raised my gun behind the hall. The group fled straight into the jungle. Just rushed into the bushes. There was a splash of water in the back. And the serpent came again.

No one has time to look at the future. Beneath the trees are extremely lush clumps of shrubs and ferns. Let's rush in. The branches are full of thorns. Across my bare skin. Pulled out countless health bars. I grinned in pain. But it doesn't matter so much. Grit your teeth and run wildly.

No one could have imagined that we could reach that speed in the jungle. If only it had been at this rate. We crossed the canyon early today at noon. We quickly rushed to the edge of the canyon. The mountain walls are full of waterfalls. The water was knee-deep. I can't run fast anymore.

Let's look back. No way. The snake barely left us with much. The dragon-like body followed in the bushes like lightning. We want to run again. Further on is the waterfall. There is no way. The fat man scolded, "I'm cāo." Who led the way! ”

Several people panicked. The water is so deep here. Unable to move. Tree pythons, on the other hand, are very flexible in the water. This time it's really more auspicious. At this time, A-Ning saw something. Shouted to us, "There! ”

We looked down her miner's lamp. I saw behind a waterfall on one side of the rock. There is a crack. It seems that it is possible to hide. The fat man shouted, "Hurry! ”

We rushed over. Rush into the waterfall. The opening of the crack is very narrow. The python will definitely not get in. We all barely got in. Several people squeezed sideways inside. It's full of water. A few of us barely squeezed in. But the fat man can't get in even if he is killed.

We dragged him desperately. He also squeezed desperately into it. And just come in one leg. Inside, Aning shone the miner's lamp out of the crack. The huge head of the snake is already outside the curtain of water of the waterfall. That's a huge shadow. The fat man also panicked. Scream at you to shine on what! Turn off the lights, turn off the lights!

So I went up and covered his mouth. Whisper to him to shut up. But everyone knows. It's definitely useless to hide. All copied up guys. Ready to fight hard.

But strangely. The python was actually wandering outside the waterfall. Didn't poke your head into the waterfall. Wandered around a few times. He turned around and walked away.

This one comes. We looked at each other. It's all inexplicable. Just a little bit of the snake poking its head in. The fat man is definitely finished. We can't afford to sit idly by. It was a battle to the death. It's enough not to die halfway. How suddenly it was gone. Is it afraid of this waterfall?

At this time. We hear a series of "clucking" sounds coming from the depths of the crevice. It's like a rooster crowing. Outside, the water rumbled. It's not loud either. But here the rooster crows are heard. Particularly eye-catching. We heard it all at once.

Everyone turned their heads. Only then can the jīng force observe this gap. We found that the water in it was up to our waists. Look at the inside of the gap. If you go in again, there will be no more. And in the crack of the stone at the end. There was something standing. This thing is completely hidden in the dark. Take advantage of the afterglow of the miner's lamp. I can't find it at all.

My eyes flickered. I can't see it clearly. But as soon as I saw this thing standing. It doesn't feel good. I can't tell what the hell is strange. So he asked Aning to turn the miner's lamp around.

The lights peeked in. The thing showed its true face. I took a look. Two or three seconds. Didn't realize what it was. It was two or three seconds of extreme surprise. And then I reacted. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I saw it in the innermost part of the crevice. There is a snake about the thickness of a wrist. This snake is not a python. Covered in fiery red. The head of the snake is a very sharp triangle. There was a big cockscomb growing on it. And what I can't believe is that. The snake was standing there straight. The snake's head hangs low. He looked at me with a fierce look. The whole gesture was like that of a man without hands and feet, and I looked into the eyes of the snake. Barely able to move. Just stare at it. Until Aning pulled me along. That's when I realized what I was seeing. I also know why the serpent is giving up on us. The fears of childhood immediately spread throughout the body.
