Chapter 16: A Dead End

It was like an amber full moon in the night sky, without a trace of emotion, looking down on the mortals on the earth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then Magellan saw the countess in front of him raise her hand.

A flash of silver light flashed, staining the giant yellow eye with blood. The beast let out a loud roar that no snake could make, and raised its head in a furious manner, making a posture ready to attack.

It was a crossbow arrow, and maybe the python didn't lose that eye, but definitely felt the "pain".

Magellan stepped forward with an arrow, took out two Luoyang shovels from his bag, and bent over.

At this moment, the huge snake's mouth rushed out of the darkness, and it looked like Magellan leaned out and sent his upper body into the python's mouth.

The snake's mouth with huge fangs snapped shut without hesitation, and the next second it would be a scene of blood splattering and stumps falling to the ground.

But that didn't happen.

Time seemed to stand still, and there was only one thing moving in the frozen world - Magellan's Luoyang shovel. The two sections of telescopic metal returned to their original size, like a spear, propped up in the mouth of the snake.

The python roared again, but this time it was very low.

In these two sections of Luoyang shovel, one section is the shovel head, which is invincible through the mountain and cracked stones, and now it is deeply inserted into the roof of the giant beast's jaw, and no one will want to know how much it hurts.

Magellan straightened up, raised his left hand, and put one foot on the edge of the python's jaw, followed by a loud "bang".

It was a handcuff, aimed deep in the throat, but it was only powerful and didn't achieve the results he wanted.

With that shot, Magellan collected his gun and retreated.

At that moment, without warning, the python shook its head from side to side. It's like a giant god wielding a whip, bringing up a terrifying shrill wind.

It's just that the whip and the wind were right in front of Magellan, and they missed by the slightest.

It was only then that everyone present realized what had happened, but for some of them, it was too late because they were already dead.

The adventurers shouted and pulled out all kinds of strange weapons, only to find that the Grim Reaper had quietly departed when they took aim.

The python is gone.

The adventurers who discovered this put away their weapons and shouted expletives, but they seemed to be a little lacking in confidence.

"Really, really, impressively. The countess remained calm, making Magellan wonder if she had practiced the legendary magic "too forgetful".

"Can you go up first, I'm scared, I'm afraid of the dark. Magellan was dripping blood for the two Luoyang shovels that were taken away by the giant python, but he still felt that it was better to go back first.

But this sentence was fiercely despised by the power warriors: "Hmph, ahead is the end of the path of the sun, there is a reward prepared for the warriors, if you want to go back, go back, anyway, those who don't have courage are not eligible for rewards." ”

After the white hat finished translating, he shrugged helplessly at Magellan: "Actually, I also think it's better to go back and recuperate." ”

But the contempt of the warriors worked very well against the explorers, who had completely stepped out of the shadows and began to move forward.

"Put the body away. The countess gave orders to the guards, but did not say a word about Magellan's proposal.

Magellan looked at the scattered lights in the darkness and stood helplessly. The White Hat waited with him honestly, and now only the Countess could decide whether to go on or go back to rest.

The traditional funeral in this world is to bury and pray to heaven, but after all, the expedition team is an expedition team, the rain forest is hot and humid, and the corpses are very perishable, so most of them bring the ashes back to the country and bury them in the cemetery.

All but two of the dead were earl guards, and the rest were explorers. The guards brought fire oil with them, used it all at once, burned it and put it in the urn and carried it, and it was over.

"The snake isn't dead yet, and if we just follow the explorers, it will continue to happen. Magellan still did not give up convincing the countess.

The hall was filled with the pungent smell of burning corpses, and the darkness was like hell.

"It's almost the end, why go back. The warrior made another mockery, but this one was very nutritious, and the white hat of the translator was also surprised.

"Is the path of the sun so short?"

"You don't need to do much to prove your mettle, most of the time you only need one. ”

"I don't think those warriors were capable of killing such a python. Magellan's words brought a moment of silence.

"Is this the case, when this giant python was put in as a part of the test, it was not so big, but it took hundreds of years before it became so terrifying. ”

"What do you eat when you grow up?"

"There's plenty of space underground, there's definitely something. ”

"With no sun underground, it is impossible to sustain such an apex predator. Moreover, snakes can hibernate. Magellan didn't explain the theory of the biosphere energy flow pyramid because he knew it wasn't clear.

"All warriors have faced such beasts, and they have been the same since ancient times. The warrior suddenly interjected, and even the white hat was startled.

Magellan looked at the expression on the face of the Power Warrior and thought for himself.

"You mean," White Hat's face suddenly excited, "is there a way to move on without defeating that snake?!"

"I don't know. But the warrior's answer was disappointing.

"According to records, the ancient sacrifice was successful five times. If every warrior has to face such a giant python, then I think there must be a shortcut to the end without defeating it. Magellan began to stop insisting on going back to rest first.

"Running away and taking shortcuts are not the actions of warriors. This sentence made almost everyone present begin to think that the indigenous friend in the white hat was a little cute.

"The one who reaches the finish line is the one who is the hero. ”

The Power Warrior snorted coldly at Magellan, who carefully reflected on the hidden emotions and confirmed his guess.

"If there is no opinion, let's move on, we must find the Book of the Sun before the explorers, I think you all know what I mean. The countess made the final decision, and together they walked into the darkness that engulfed the explorers.

The group walked in the dark for a while, walked out of the dark hall, and walked through the wall that had been knocked open with a large hole, and outside was the pitch-black abyss.

"This is supposed to be where the python came from. Magellan looked at the falling light and said, "If you fall here, you'll definitely die." ”

It was a huge abyss of astonishing breadth and depth, and there was a certain unknown smell in the air.

In the distance down the steps, the explorers lit up the lights, and they carefully stepped up the steps and set off towards there.
