Chapter 90: The Python's Secret
Paul spent the night alone in the wilderness, unsure if it was safe to be around. Set up a warning trap and hastily sleep for a few hours to regain energy.
Extinguish the arch fire, put on a backpack, and hurried in the dark night by relying on the white moonlight scattered on the ground. According to the information he obtained from the previous forced confession, there is probably still half a day to go to the totem temple of the Shu'a people.
The light of the fire in the temple was very conspicuous in this dark night. The Shu'a people on duty at the door, the shadow was long, long under the pull of the firelight behind them.
Paul saw the location of the temple at a glance, prepared the equipment in his backpack in advance, and made a detour from the side where there was no cave. As he got closer to the temple, he moved more and more carefully.
There was a hint of joy on his face about to take revenge, and a fierce bloodthirsty madness. His body silently pressed against the side of the temple gate, lit the explosives in his hand and threw them quickly into the temple.
The lead was cut by him to the extreme, and it exploded with a bang when it flew out a few meters out of his hand. A large amount of smoke and dust rushed out of the gate, and a heart-rending scream was immediately heard from inside. Paul only had time to take a step back, and he didn't have time to get headshots at all, choking on the dust and coughing violently.
Holding back the discomfort in his throat, he lit another bundle of explosives and threw it in, repeating twice in a row until the explosives he brought were exhausted. Then he drew one of his spears and walked cautiously to the temple door.
In the first half of the temple, there was a human tragedy, with severed limbs and stumps scattered everywhere, and some corpses were blown to pieces, and fragments were splashed everywhere, making the temple blood-red. In some places, due to the power of explosives, there were partial collapses.
In order to prevent the three of them from sneaking into the cave at night, the patriarch specially arranged for them to rest in the innermost, but unexpectedly saved their lives. The original intention of the temple was to target the snake god, so the interior was built very deep, and the patriarch who was closest to them also escaped with his life.
The patriarch was deaf from the explosion and struggled to get up. He didn't have time to shake off the dust and gravel on his body, and looked at the corpses of the clansmen on the ground with red eyes. He walked around unconsciously, almost breaking down, muttering the names of his people. "Patriarch, Baburu, Moti......"
Horton's location was buried by the debris of the collapse, and Tyri, who also had guns with guns, hid behind the bunker at the first explosion, and when the explosion stopped, they showed two pairs of eyes observing the situation inside the temple.
Ignoring Tyri's exclamations, Steven risked his way out of cover to bring the lost patriarch back. At this time, one more helper is one more chance of winning.
As soon as he touched the patriarch's body, a figure holding a spear appeared at the door. When the figure saw the two people in the center of the aisle, he immediately pulled the trigger without saying a word, and he was worthy of an old hunter who ate as a hunter, and barely aimed at the pistol and shot his head.
Steven happened to be behind the patriarch, and in a flash of thought, he grabbed the patriarch's body as a shield and was able to avoid the first round of bullets. Tyri in the rear was also shooting, providing him with fire cover.
He stepped back, tossed away the bullet-riddled corpse, and hid behind rocks on the other side of the aisle. Tyri glanced at each other, and the two guessed who the visitor was.
"Paul, you're not dead! It's also a long time ago, how can you be sure that you're dead if you don't see the corpse! ”
"Slut! Let me suffer so much, you will all die! ”
Hearing Tyri's voice, Paul instantly became furious, roared loudly in anger, and a round of bullets slammed into the rock beside him, causing his roar to stop abruptly and his body shrinking back.
"Slut, you're still so insidious. What does explosives taste like? I have a great gift waiting for you! Paul shot at Neteri's position, retreating outside the temple as the other man ducked his head to dodge.
He brought dry grass near the temple and shot inward from time to time to suppress it, so that the people inside would not have a chance to come out.
A vigorous arch fire was raised, covered with fresh branches, and billowing smoke rose straight up. He then took off his backpack and used it as a fan, fanning the temple with a thick smoke.
He didn't have to wait long before a violent cough rang out inside the temple. The two of them choked on the smoke and lay on the ground breathing relatively clean air.
Tyri's eyes were red with smoke, and the dust on the ground entered her lungs with her breath, no better than being smoked.
"Steven, what should I do?"
Steven was even more embarrassed, his wound was in the throat. Rapid breathing and coughing worsened the injury, which was on the verge of recovery.
"Wait, I think about it, there will be a way!"
The current situation is extremely inferior to the two, Paul can be said to be invincible, as long as it continues, the two will inevitably be easily handled by him.
"Paul! Are you absent? Ahem. ”
"Click! How do you want to beg for mercy, okay, you put down your weapons and come out! The smoke obscured the view, and Paul fired a few random shots before he made a sympathetic proposal.
"I'll trade a secret for you to let us go! It's a secret you'll definitely want to know, a goal you've been pursuing all your life. ”
"Hmph, let's talk about it. I thought about it, and I really didn't know what my goals were. Steven obviously aroused his curiosity, but the hatred of revenge was even greater at this time, and he would not let a few people go easily.
"Giant serpent! Ahem, aren't you curious about giant snakes? There are only snakes in the rainforest that are the size of snakes in the world, aren't you curious about their big secrets? ”
"You don't want to deceive me, it's a matter of breed, anything can grow up if you take enough time."
In the past, Paul hunted pythons for a living, while the Shua people believed in the ancestors of pythons. Subconsciously thinks that the Shu'a are opposed to hunting pythons and consciously avoid the natives in the rainforest, so he doesn't know much about the Shu'a.
"You look to the left, there's a cave. Don't you know that legend? That's the snake god's lair of the Shua tribe, and you should be able to imagine how big the snake god is at such a big hole! ”
Steven said a lot in one breath, his voice getting lower and lower until he couldn't make a sound. Blood flowed from the wound on his neck, soaking his chest and pouring into his throat. He found a pen and paper to record what he wanted to say, wrapped it in a stone and threw it outside the temple.
Steven had a wounded throat and couldn't speak. Communicate with you in words, and if you are sincere, put out the fire first! Tyri replied in his place, she was carrying the rubble of the landslide, she was not sure of Horton's condition, and she had to do her best to help her at the slightest possibility.
"Good! Of course I have sincerity. ”
Paul extinguished the fire, and his heart was terrified, and the message on the paper made him feel troubled. If the snake god were really that big, even a fool could see that it was abnormal. The terrifying giant snake body is even more exaggerated than the elephant, the blue whale, and the General Sherman tree.
The natural ecology has its own carrying capacity, and will not allow such a disturbing creature to exist, if it were not for the long-term feeding of the Shu'a people, it would have been sleeping somewhere quietly starving to death when the predation was not enough to support the action.
"Is this true?"
"Of course, we also have the video, although only the tail. As long as you can keep us safe, I can send you the video recorder. ”
"Okay, you can send the VCR here! I guarantee your safety. ”
As soon as Paul finished speaking, Steven put down his gun and swaggered out with the VCR. His gesture made Paul suspicious, for fear that he might have some kind of trick.
"You're not afraid I'll kill you?"
Steven smiled lightly and took out a pen and paper to write.
"What I said is true, and the video is true, so why should I be afraid? Don't you want to know the secret of the giant serpent? ”
"Well, I admire your courage, and if the secret is true, I'll let the three of you go. If you had followed my instructions at first, the ship would have left the rainforest without any problems! ”
Steven operates the video recorder to play the tip of the tail that Horton has captured. Paul is an expert in this area, and he can roughly judge Ye Guangji's size from this tail alone. Without gasping, he asked Steven to play it a few more times.
Horror aside, Paul's heart was blazing, how much would he be worth if he caught this real serpent! He was already thinking in his heart, sell the small giant snake in the ship, and gather a large number of people to come here to capture the Shua snake god.
Steven patted his shoulder, which was trembling with excitement, and a note came from the ground.
"Well, you can be sure of the authenticity of the information! Let us go and tell you the secret. ”
Paul's mind was racing rapidly, it was unlikely that the snake god would catch it, but the secret of the growth of the giant snake would be known immediately, and with him cultivating the giant snake infinitely, wouldn't this be a cash cow!
"Okay, you say! After that, I will let you go immediately. ”
"I'll write to you, you take the note to the other side of the single-plank bridge and open it, and we'll leave in the meantime."
"Well, you're trying to hurt me. Didn't you say it was the lair of the snake god? Paul looked at him and aimed his gun at the other man.
Steven wrote unhurriedly. "The giant snake left to forage for food in the depths of the rainforest, I can stay, make sure the information is true, and then let me go."
"Well, a real man. I agreed, let that slut and the black fat man leave first! Come in and pack your things for them to leave. ”
Steven took the video recorder and strode into the temple. The rubble was partially removed by Tyri, revealing her arm that had been smashed to a bloody smash, and she tested Horton's pulse, his vital signs steady.
"He's still alive, how are you talking?"
"He promised to let us go, and I need to stay to make sure the information is correct."
"No, let's go together, it's too dangerous for you to stay!"
"As long as you're okay, I'm relieved!"
Terri was so moved that she threw down Horton's arm and kissed her excitedly. The ashes on the sides of the lips of the two of them were eaten, which was very unhygienic.
"You leave with Horton first, and wait for me at the nearest campsite here. It's okay, I'll definitely catch up with you. ”
Tyri nodded heavily and dug out Horton with Steven. Horton was in a groove, the crumbling rubble crushing down on his arm. There was dried blood on his head, apparently knocked unconscious by the rubble.
The fat man is good at this, the blood thickens and clots quickly, it is not a fatal injury, the wound will soon scab over, and it will coagulate faster than the liquid metal that is gradually cooling.
