Chapter 52: The Man-Eating Python
"Stay still. Loki let out a low roar, and the claw knife in his hand pressed against the flesh of the backwind, cutting off the three-ring leech.
Headwind obviously also saw the blood-sucking worm on the ground, his face was blue and red, and he didn't know what to say.
Loki suddenly picked up the three-ringed leech in his left hand, and the leech immediately writhed up and down, and the mouthparts in front of him did not know how to bite his hand, but the half-elf's left hand, which only had four fingers, was extremely flexible, so that the worm had nowhere to bite.
After a closer look, the half-elf boy shook his hand and threw the blood-sucking worm into the dense forest in the distance.
Loki said in a deep voice, "In this forest, try to keep your mouth shut. ”
The half-elf who looked at the same kind of half-elf against the wind only felt a wave of nausea, and as soon as a little gratitude rose, it was immediately replaced by boredom and nausea, and without saying anything, he continued to follow the team forward slowly.
At noon, the sun began to shine directly, the mist was slowly steaming in the dense forest, and the humid and sultry environment made everyone have to rest, eat some practical fruits, and find a little common non-poisonous insects, and everyone reluctantly comforted their hungry stomachs.
On the afternoon journey, the number of leeches on the branches of the surrounding trees increased, and the fleeing party had to stop and try to make a detour to reduce the danger of being attacked by blood-sucking worms.
It was getting late, and soon the forest was completely dark again, and in a dry campable place, several bonfires were lit around it, and the fugitives decided the order of the vigil, and soon lay down to rest.
In the deep consciousness space, Loki is using active consciousness and cooperating with the Altron operating system to accelerate the optimization of sensory functions step by step, and the comprehensive optimization of visual images has increased from 11% to 12% in a few days, which is already commendable.
Just then, he was awakened by a violent fluctuation in the sound waves.
Loki immediately withdrew from his deep consciousness, and at the same time, a low cry was heard in his ears, and he opened his gray eyes and immediately scanned the surroundings.
It turned out that it was Comm, who was keeping vigil, who made the scream, and saw a giant python with a length of seven meters and more than the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh, almost coiling half of his body, and his lungs were strangled and he could only let out a low shout.
Everyone has been in a tense state of rest, although his shout is not high, but it also woke up the other people, the cat orc is the closest, pick up the guard sword in his hand and rush up to help.
The python was extremely ferocious, wrapping its head around Kom while its head and neck were tentatively attacking.
This ferocious beast is not easy to deal with, and the python skin with a layer of armor scales is also extremely tough, and the weapon can't hurt it for a while.
Kom's body was entangled by the python's 'click, click', as if the bones of his body had been strangled, if he was not rescued, there must be no need to save him.
On the front, Aina and Ruby kept slashing with long swords, and the scales of the giant python were chopped off from time to time, and a little blood sprayed out, but the injuries caused were not big, not enough for the python to let go of the entangled prey.
However, this giant python does not have many means of attack, unless it sneaks up or entangles its prey, it usually does not move quickly, even if it wants to bite the prey, it is not easy, except for the entangled Kom is in danger of life, it can't even cause harm to others.
Loki quickly shot a crossbow arrow, and when he found that the arrow did not hurt the python much, he put down his crossbow and approached it without fear.
In the eyes of a person as sensitive and prominent as him, the giant python was like a large living target, and the half-elf boy was holding a tactical claw knife.
He flanked one of the python's scales, and after the claw knife stabbed slightly into the flesh, Loki writhed his weapon with all his might.
The intermediate dagger mastered 45% of his abilities to make his movements more perfectly coordinated, from the legs to the shoulders and arms, coordinating the strength of the whole body together, and the sharp claw knife in his hand cut in reverse, almost instantly cutting a huge wound in the abdomen of the python.
Blood sprayed from the python's wound, and the severe pain made the python twitch, and Kom, who had been tightly coiled before, finally fell to the ground and couldn't move, and Kom, who was stained with blood, didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
The badly wounded python not only did not flinch, as if enraged, it turned its huge head to look for the person who had hurt it, but it could not find anyone.
Loki's visual optimization system gave him the ability to focus on multiple points in his field of view at once, watching the direction of the python's head while focusing on the deadly attack of the claw knife in his hand.
By the time he sensed that the python was about to turn back on him, Loki had already spotted it and evacuated to a safe area.
There was more and more blood on the ground, and the python's body twisted in pain, and after a few roars, it was about to run away, but it was too seriously injured and was soon entangled by Aina and Ruby, and it didn't take much effort to quickly kill the huge beast.
Kom was helped up by Aina, probably because of the broken bones in his body, he was a little speechless from the pain.
Aina briefly examined Comm and said, "I think there are a few broken ribs, and if I don't puncture the internal organs, I should be able to survive." ”
The half-elf walked against the wind to the dead python, he seemed to see a large piece of food falling from the sky, crouched down to make sure it was not poisonous, and spoke loudly.
"Leave it alone, look at this, we don't have to go hungry at last, Littlefinger, don't be damn stunned, hand me your knife." ”
Loki glanced at him, his gray eyes coldly unmoved, and he suddenly pulled out a piece of burning wood from the campfire, the light of which slightly illuminated a little of the darkness deep in the forest.
There was a faint and strange sound of 'sand, sand', and then the sound became louder and louder, reaching everyone's ears, and the faces of everyone in the fleeing party changed drastically, it was like the wriggling and chewing sound of some kind of bug, and the number of them definitely sounded like a lot.
'Poof, poof' seemed to have something falling from the tree, and on the corpse of the giant python next to the headwind, a few dark things suddenly fell, and the shape of the big worm in the palm was obviously a three-ring leech that made people look at it.
The half-elf retreated in panic against the wind, and more and more three-ring leeches fell above the tree, and at the same time, a large number of three-ring leeches also drilled out of the trees around the giant python's corpse.
Fortunately, the target of this blood-sucking worm is not everyone for the time being, and a large pool of fishy blood on the ground and the blood-stained giant python corpse are obviously the biggest reason for attracting this group of three-ring leeches.
A dense patch of gray blood-sucking worms, covering the corpse of the python alone in at least hundreds of thousands, made people frightened and at the same time, they couldn't help but have goosebumps.
