Chapter 8: The Meerkat War
At that moment, there was a sudden sound behind us, and when I looked back, I was astonished to see a group of animals the size of a bobcat, looking like mink and pangolins, dragging their long tails, covered with gray fluff, and making a high-pitched "ahhh I have never seen such an animal, and I am terrified for a while, it seems that the legend of this pyramid is really not a rumor, and there are strange monsters full of danger everywhere!
But when I looked at this group of monsters, there was a look of surprise in my eyes, "Thank God! The monsters bravely passed through us and stood in front of us, they stood up like people, the leader-like leader let out a long chirp, and then all the monsters pounced and tore together with the cobra fiercely, and after a while the cobra was bitten flesh and blood, and I was dumbfounded.
Seeing my doubts and puzzlements, he slowly explained, "This is the Egyptian meerkat, the same family as the meerkat, which mainly feeds on reptiles and is a natural predator of cobras. Nature's law of mutual restraint is always true, and no matter how powerful an animal is, it has its nemesis. It's just how they ended up in the pyramids? It's a miracle!"
Seeing the Egyptian mongoose dismantle and eat more than a dozen strange snakes one by one, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the door to the tomb was close at hand. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the sand began to fall above the passage, and we were frightened by this sudden change and trembled, only to see a huge red python appear in the darkness ahead, it rolled its body, opened its mouth and swallowed one of the Egyptian mongooses alive, and the rest of the Egyptian mongoose retreated in fear.
"Oh no! the Egyptian mongoose can't beat the python!" I said anxiously, "I have to find a way to help the Egyptian mongoose!" I hurriedly raised my pistol and fired a shot at the python, but the bullet hit the python and bounced back like a copper wall, hitting an Egyptian mongoose that was biting the cobra, and the Egyptian mongoose was killed on the spot. The python swallowed the dead Egyptian mongoose provocatively, and I was so angry that tears were about to come out, this is to protect me and the little creatures who don't meet, and they actually died like this.
"Brute, I'm going to kill you!" I was so angry that I picked up my gun and tried to give the python a few hard blows, but it was stopped. "Don't get excited, this python is different from ordinary snakes, the scales on its body are extremely hard and invulnerable, and if you shoot again, I'm afraid that you will hurt more Egyptian mongooses." "I frowned, my expression was also very solemn, I watched with tears in my eyes a few Egyptian mongooses who were not afraid of death standing in a team to avenge their companions, but they were swallowed by pythons one by one, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to me and not coincidentally, I found a situation, just far away from seeing clearly, this python actually has a meat ball on the top of its head, and if you look closely, it is actually an eye, staring at me viciously. I looked to the left and right of it, and it was gray, and it was the same discolored eyeball as a blind man.
In order to test my idea, I shouted, "No, hand me the flashlight!" "It is afraid of light, and its left and right eyeballs have degenerated, and it only has one eye on the top of its head. No, hit that ball of meat on top of its head!" I yelled at him, reminding him that the python's weakness was on top of his head.
I nodded, holding a gun to aim at the python, who knew that the python was stimulated by the strong light, and its head began to sway from side to side to avoid the light, which created great difficulties for the target to be aim, and the time passed minute by minute, and the spirit was highly nervous, and the forehead was already densely covered with sweat.
I looked down at my watch, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the battle with this group of snake pythons had consumed half of the time, and we had not yet entered the tomb, so we could not delay any longer, and we had to fight quickly. At this moment, the Egyptian mongoose seemed to read my mind, and they began to change their tactics, surround the python, and several dared to jump on the python to bite its neck, temporarily controlling the python. "No, shoot quickly, it's too late!" I hurriedly urged, only to hear the sound of "bang", a pungent smell of blood spread in the small space, the python roared in pain, fell to the ground and rolled, it was no longer visible, the belly that was not protected in the struggle was exposed, the Egyptian mongoose rushed up, fiercely biting the belly of the python, the python began to struggle, slowly moving smaller and smaller, until it was motionless.
I and I dragged the pistol and slowly stepped forward to prevent the python from cheating to death, and wanted to see what was going on. At this moment, suddenly a strange wind blew with yellow sand, and we were blown so that we could not open our eyes, and when we opened our eyes, the python was gone, and the Egyptian mongoose was gone, and the ground was clean and there was no trace of a fight, and there was no blood stain, and we looked at each other in amazement, what was going on? At the end of the passage, the stone door of the pharaoh's tomb stood quietly.
