This turned out to be a "pheasant neck".

How can there be such a snake here!

I'll take a closer look. Flaming red cockscombs and snake bodies. And that terrifying posture of standing upright. It's the "pheasant neck", that's right.

A cold sweat broke out in my eyes. This type of snake is very rare. In our hometown. It's called "Thunder King Red". I saw it once in the mountains when I was a kid. According to the old man. This serpent is the emperor of the serpent. All snakes are afraid of it. It sticks and flies. Traces are like electricity. And it's extremely poisonous. Crawled over the party. Plant weeds will even separate on their own. And this snake can't fight. If you kill it, you will have the same kind of people to retaliate.

I later read a Kiyoto notebook novel. The snake of the cloud is a little dragon. Perched along the dragon veins of mountains and rivers. It is also said to be a snake jīng entrenched on the dragon vein. Some parties have the legend of the heavenly thunder killing demons. Most of them are thunderbolts on the mountains. Something that blew up this snake. However, the snake has been almost extinct in recent decades. There is still one here. It was a surprise to me.

Fatty: They have never seen such a snake. It's all amazing. There were only a few people in the bottle, and the face changed just like me. But the fiery red snake body and fierce posture. It shows the identity of this poisonous snake. Several people did not dare to act rashly.

This is really just escaping from the python's mouth. Encounter poisonous snakes again. I was annoyed. While reminding yourself. It seems that on this side. Really have to be extra careful. You can't drill everything around.

There is still a glimmer of life in fighting hard with the python. Fight the viper. Generally, it is either a total win or a total loss. No one is willing to take this risk. And the "pheasant neck" generally does not provoke people. Now it makes this threatening gesture. It's a kind of jǐng notice. Maybe this gap is its lair.

Then you can't stay here. I waved them not to make an offensive gesture. Get out slowly. A-Ning pulled out cold fireworks. Hand it to me. Let me be a weapon.

I put the cold smoke in front of me. In this way, you will not have to use your hands to block the "pheasant neck" when it suddenly attacks. We cautiously exited the gap. One by one. All went well. When it was my turn. I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turned his head to look inside the gap. The snake is no longer visible in the dark. The heart said that it was fortunate that nothing happened.

Get down from the gaps. Step into the water. The fat man used a miner's lamp to probe outside the waterfall. I took a few laps. He said, "The serpent is gone." Safe ......"

Several people gasped. Let's go to see Panzi who is being held by the fat man. He waved his hand weakly. Say it's okay. It's just that there are internal injuries from the fall. But I can't die yet. We looked at each other. They all let out a wry smile. Several people were disheveled and covered in mud. A-Ning's chest was almost exposed. She tugged at her clothes as if nothing had happened. We don't have the strength to see either. There are only two equipment packs left. The black gold knife of the stuffy oil bottle was lost. In the fat man's hand is my dagger. His own dagger was gone. The stuffy oil bottle and Panzi's shoulders were full of dense blood holes. Give the teeth of the python to bite. Especially stuffy oil bottles. He may have broken free. Many wounds were opened.

I really didn't expect a python to make such a mess of us.

I looked at the sky. The rain has stopped. The light of day has already risen. The edges of the canyon are a little sparsely wooded. Be able to see the dawn of the morning. On one side is a waterfall. On one side is the jungle. Birds chirped all around. If you hadn't personally experienced the vicious battle just now. What a wonderful situation that would be.

Everyone quietly watched the scenery for a while. The fat man asked, "What now?" ”

Anin walked to the edge of the waterfall. Caught some rain washed down. I washed my face. He said, "Wait until dawn." Let's go back and pick up the gear. Then find a way to take a break. It's too dangerous here. Let's hurry up and get out. ”

The fat man said, "Damn it." It's easy for you to say. Just now when we were running. It's a complete mess. I don't know what the tree is. How do we find out? ”

"Then I'll go find it. Not going back now. It's even more impossible to find it when you need it. A-Ning pressed his face tiredly. He rolled up his sleeves again. Stick your head into the waterfall and rinse it hastily. After washing, the hair is shaken short. The sediment receded. The pretty face has finally returned to its previous appearance. He beckoned us to go.

I thought about going back to that party. I sighed in my heart. But the woman was right. This is the time when it really has to be done. It just doesn't make people breathe. I don't feel like I've gotten any better.

A few people carried their own things. A-Ning is a woman or loves cleanliness. Look how far we've come. He pulled back his clothes. Flush your chest with water. This time. The corner of my eye flashed. I saw a red sè flash in the waterfall. At the same time, we faintly heard a "gurgling" sound.

I suddenly felt bad. Said to Aning: "Be careful. Stay away from the waterfalls! ”

"What's wrong?" Aning turned her head to look at me. Not sure why. A very faint smile was revealed. It's different from the smile she used to have. I was amazed when I looked at it.

It was in that moment. A fiery snake burst out of the waterfall. It was wrapped around Aning's neck at once. It held its head high. There was a series of poignant and high-pitched "clucks". I'm done with it! Throw away what you have in your hand and rush over. I took the first step. I watched the "pheasant neck" bite down like lightning. A-Ning used his hand to block but didn't block. The snake's head bit her neck. She screamed. One dragged the snake down. Toss aside. Cover your neck and pour into the water.

We rushed over. But the serpent did not flee. Leaping out of the water. It flew towards us like an arrow. The fat man screamed. I didn't get it with a knife. Seeing that he is going to be hit again. The stuffy oil bottle on one side was pinched in the air. I pinched the snake's head in one fell swoop. The snake's body immediately coiled around his arm. I want to pull out the snake's head. Then he saw the bottle of stuffy oil stuck with his other hand to the serpent's neck. Twist both hands in the opposite direction. Click. The head of the snake twisted him three hundred and sixty degrees. Then he threw it into the water. The "pheasant's neck" twisted a few times. It doesn't move. Slowly floated up.

We were busy going to see Aning. I went up and picked her up. I saw that the expression on her face had frozen. My throat moved to speak. Tears in his eyes. It seems that there are 10,000 unwilling. My scalp went numb. I don't know what to do anymore. The whole person trembled. Then. It's just a matter of seconds. Her eyes glazed over. The whole person softened. Then the head hung down as well.
