The eleventh: The golden-scaled python hides in the waterhole

At dawn the next day, a few rays of sunlight shone into Shigu and shone on Zhang Ning's face. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Qi Qi was still asleep, so she helped him up, called softly, and when he still didn't respond, she took off her monk's robe, helped him put it on, and then pulled him until the sun could shine everywhere.

Zhang Ning decided to find something to eat, so he struggled to stand up with a wooden stick. She found the stagnant water in front of her so clear and calm. So he limped over. The shadow was reflected in the water, and she realized how dirty her clothes were and how messy her hair was. She couldn't help but untie her long hair, tilt her head sideways, pick up the water, and rush to her hair.

Suddenly, she noticed a semi-circular half-hidden water beside the stone wall not far away, like a white stone, but the surface was round as if it had been carved. She was very strange, so she walked towards this "stone", and when she looked closer, she saw that most of this "stone" was hidden in the water, like a very large egg, which could not be seen clearly underneath, but it was smooth to the touch. Zhang Ning picked up a small stone and knocked it, making a dull "buzzing" sound. Zhang Ning was very strange, it didn't feel like this thing was made of solid, and it didn't seem to be a stone.

Zhang Ning picked up a bigger stone and smashed it hard. With a "click", the thing cracked open a hole, and a viscous white liquid flowed out of it. Zhang Ning was taken aback, wondering what this was, and her curiosity made her pick up a bigger stone and smash it on it. All of a sudden, a large hole was smashed into the exposed part of the water, and more viscous liquid flowed out of the hole.

Zhang Ning pulled it out with his hand, making the hole open wider. At this moment, she finally saw the true face of this thing. It turned out that it was really an egg, and it was a very large egg, and the yolk could be clearly seen inside, and the sticky substance that flowed out turned out to be egg white. Zhang Ning was surprised and delighted, surprised that there could be such a big egg in the world! She had never seen it before, and she was glad that she could finally stop eating weeds and tree bark. She was very excited and decided to go back and tell Qi Ji the good news first. But when she returned, she found that Qi Ji had not woken up.

So she started cooking, and this rice was naturally a "boiled egg", which was a boiled egg white, to be exact, because the yolk could only be seen, but could not be touched, and the egg was too big. Besides, she also wants to save food, so she can't eat the last meal without the next meal. The eggs are quickly cooked and smell very good, especially for a person who eats weeds and tree bark every day.

Zhang Ning pinched a large piece with a small stick, but she was reluctant to eat it, because the first thing she thought of was Qi Ji. Perhaps because of the aroma of boiled eggs, Qi Ji finally woke up, but his closed eyes still refused to open, because his brain was still groggy and misty at the moment.

When Zhang Ning brought the egg to Qi Qi's mouth, he actually ate it with his eyes closed, without chewing, but swallowed it directly, perhaps because he had been hungry for too long. Then, Qi Ji opened his mouth again like a fledgling, as if he wanted to take a second bite, but unfortunately, he waited for a long time and didn't get it. Because Zhang Ning deliberately didn't feed him, he just let him sniff next to his nose. The temptation of food made his eyes half open, and he saw a large piece of egg dangling with Zhang Ning's "chopsticks". Zhang Ning, who was beside him, saw him open his eyes and laughed out loud.

"Where's the food?" Qi Qi blurted out. Zhang Ning was still laughing, but she put the egg to his mouth this time. But Qi Ji insisted on not eating it because he wanted her to eat it. Zhang Ning said that there are many more. But he didn't believe it. So Zhang Ning told him what happened to the giant egg just now.

Qi Ji was skeptical, but when he saw the freshly boiled eggs, he couldn't help but believe it. He stood up and wanted to look at the big egg, but was stopped by Zhang Ning and said, "Don't go, such a big egg, I don't know what animal laid it." Let's be careful. Qi Ji smiled and said, "That's better than starving to death." With that, he walked towards the waterhole.

Qi Ji came to the waterhole, and sure enough, he saw a huge egg, floating on the water, and there were some sticky things floating in the water around it. This egg is enough for the two of them to eat for a few days. So he jumped into the water and carried the whole egg back.

A few days later, Zhang Ning's leg injury gradually healed, and he was no longer able to rely on wooden sticks to support his walking. Qi Ji's swordsmanship has also become more proficient.

But seeing that the food was running out, the two had to look for other edible things again. But for those who have gone through hardships and put them to death and are born, being able to live is a luxury, it is a kind of happiness, and there is hope if they can live, and it is not very important whether they can find such a delicacy.

On this day, close to noon, Zhang Ning went to the water to freshen up. Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared on the calm water, and the whirlpool began to spin, spin rapidly, and then began to move slowly. Zhang Ning screamed and took a few steps back in fright. But after a short while, the speed of the whirlpool began to decrease, and after a while, the whirlpool disappeared and the water surface returned to calm.

Zhang Ning was staring at the water and wondering. Suddenly, a monster burst out of the water, opened its mouth, and pounced on Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning screamed in fright and fell to the ground. said that it was too late, and after Zhang Ning fell to the ground, he immediately rolled on the spot a few times, and rolled out a long way at once, so that he was not bitten by the monster.

The monster missed the blow and then jerked back again.

Qi Ji heard the cry and rushed to it. When Zhang Ning was helped up, the monster suddenly came out of the water again. The monster alone was a foot tall when it was exposed to the water, with a slender body, covered with golden scales, a huge head held high, a black crown of flesh on top of its head, a sly mouth spitting letters, and two eyes shining with fierce light, staring at the two of them.

Zhang Ning was extremely frightened and hid behind Qi Ji.

After a while, the monster slowly opened its mouth, revealing two blue and white fangs, the tips of which began to drip emerald green venom.

Qi Ji shouted while protecting Zhang Ning: "Run, run!" Almost at the same time, the monster attacked.

Zhang Ning hadn't run a few steps before he heard the sound of "bang". When she looked back, she saw that Qi Qi was thrown several meters away like stones.

It turned out that Qi Ji was in an emergency, and wanted to pierce the monster's head and neck with his sword. But seeing the stab, who knew that the monster's head suddenly turned away, and the sword slashed at one of the monster's bare fangs. No matter how hard the fangs were, they couldn't match the sharp steel sword, and at the touch of it, the monster's fangs were cut off. The monster was in pain, so it slammed its head against it. Qi Qi was knocked away with his sword.

After the monster broke its teeth, it rolled in the water in pain. The whole puddle felt like a pot was boiling. Qi Ji stumbled, stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground.

After a few moments, the monster suddenly leaped out of the water, its eyes shining fiercely, and its bloody jaws wide open, ready to attack again. When the monster's entire body completely snaked out of the water, Qi Ji saw that it was a giant snake.

But the serpent moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Qi Ji. Qi Ji was frightened, and hurriedly raised his sword to protect himself. As soon as the giant snake was wounded by the sword, it seemed to be afraid, and its huge head slowed down in the air for a moment before it quickly swooped down. Qi Ji had no way to retreat at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and resist with his sword.

The monster was clever this time, and with a turn of his head, he used his neck to meet the blade of the sword. Qi Ji's sword slashed at the monster's neck full of golden scales, as if it were slashing on armor, and did not move a single bit.

The giant snake reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Qi Ji's arm to be recovered, it opened its big mouth and bit Qi Qi's head again. Qi Ji was frightened and hurriedly dodged, but the monster used a sound to hit the west, deliberately forcing him to approach his tail.

The giant snake's tail was as soft as a rope and as flexible as the wind, and it had just crept out from behind, and as soon as it came into contact with Qi Trace, it immediately rolled inward. In an instant, Qi Qi's entire body was entangled by the giant snake. Qi Ji struggled to break free, but was entangled more and more tightly by the giant snake, and the sword in his hand could no longer be held, so he heard the sound of "dang chang" and fell to the ground.

When the serpent succeeded, it dragged back with a trail, as if trying to drag him into the waterhole and enjoy it slowly. Zhang Ning saw that Qi Ji was swept away by the monster, he was afraid and anxious, and in a panic, he touched a stone from the ground and hit the giant snake. After the giant snake was hit, it turned its head sharply, only glanced at Zhang Ning, then ignored it and continued to crawl into the water.

Qi Ji was eventually entangled by the giant snake and dragged into the water. As soon as the serpent entered the pool, it immediately became excited and irritable, and began to rush left and right, jumping up and down. Qi Ji was already strangled by the giant snake's body so that his veins swelled, and his lungs wanted to explode, but at this moment, he was brought under the water, and he was even more suffocated.

Just when Qi Ji was about to pass out, the monster seemed to have had enough, thinking that the prey it had caught had been hanged, so it slowly dragged Qi Ji out of the water, and then slowly let go. Qi Ji held back for a long time, and now he can finally breathe, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of alarming the giant snake, he only gently changed two breaths, and then quickly held his breath again.

Qi Ji floated on the water and closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, not daring to move. But a sudden splash of water happened to hit the face. Qi Ji's nose itched, and he couldn't help it, so he sneezed out.

When the giant snake saw that Qi Qi was not dead, he was startled at first, and then opened his mouth to bite it. Qi Ji knew that it was not good, but he was in the water, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only do it in a hurry and there was no way. The monster came very quickly, and swallowed most of Qi Qi's body into its mouth in one bite. Fortunately, Qi Qi used his sword to cut off one of the monster's fangs, and his own clothes hung on the broken fangs again, otherwise he would have become the food of the giant snake's belly at this moment.

Qi Ji didn't have a sword, and his body couldn't move, so he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he could only pull out the broken tooth with one hand and hold the snake letter with the other, desperately trying not to let himself fall into the snake's belly.

The serpent was not stupid at all, it suddenly raised its head, trying to use gravity to make its prey fall into its belly automatically.

The mouth of the snake was light and slippery, and Qi Qi couldn't hold on anymore, and in a hurry, he didn't care whether the giant snake's mouth was poisonous or not, and he opened his mouth and began to bite around.

The giant snake was bitten, and the pain was terrible, and it immediately turned over the river and the sea in the water, but no matter how hard it rolled, it could not swallow the whole body.

In the end, the giant snake had no choice, it couldn't bear the pain of pins and needles, so it shook its mouth downward, and when it was shaken, Qi Ji was spit out.

Qi Ji fell into the water, and when he saw that he was not far from the shore, he hurriedly climbed ashore with a rolling belt.

The serpent's pain subsided, but it stood in the water and did not move. I saw blood oozing from the wound on the mouth, mixed with venom, drop by drop, dripping in water.

Zhang Ninggang was so frightened by the giant snake that he stood in place, not daring to move. Seeing Qi Ji being dragged into the water, he was even more frightened and terrified. She thought that Qi Ji would definitely die at this moment, but who knew that Qi Ji was still alive, but she was immediately swallowed by the giant snake again. She screamed in fright and collapsed on the ground. Just when she was desperate, she suddenly saw Qi Ji miraculously escaped death, and actually climbed out of the pool, and immediately burst into tears of joy, stood up, and ran towards Qi Ji.

When he crawled out of the waterhole, he saw that the serpent had not moved, so he picked up the stone under his feet and threw it at the monster's eye. The monster was covered in golden scales and armor, although it was not afraid of stones, but the stones were all coming at its eyes, and it had to be forced to dodge left and right.

Qi Ji threw a few pieces and ran away. He threw stones just to delay the army, just to save his life, and suddenly saw Zhang Ning running towards him, so he hurriedly shouted, "Run back!" But Zhang Ning continued to run towards him as if he hadn't heard.

After Qi Ji met Zhang Ning, he grabbed her hand and took her and ran away with her.

The monster threw away its food, and when it saw the two of them running away, he bent down and swam out of the pool, and then snaked and chased after him on the ground. The two ran desperately, but there was a stone cave in front of them, a place where they took shelter from the rain, and they could no longer move forward.

The two have been cornered. In order to survive, there is only a fight to resist, and a fight may still have life, and if you don't fight, it will become a meal for the belly of the snake.

Zhang Ning was in a hurry, suddenly picked up the short sword in the box, threw it to Qi Ji, and then pointed to the eyes of the giant snake. Qi Qi immediately understood.

When the serpent saw that there was no way for them to escape, he was not in a hurry to attack. I saw it stop vigilantly, spitting out the letter slyly, making a "zizi" sound, with a fierce light in its eyes, staring at the two of them deadly, slowly curling up, like a tightened bow, as if it was about to attack at any time, as if it wanted to put the two to death.

Qi Qi said to himself: "Why does this giant snake have to chase after the two of us, is it because of predation?" Zhang Ning shook his head and sighed: "No, Brother Qiji, it was angered, and that was because we ate its eggs." Qi Ji suddenly realized. Zhang Ning said again: "Brother Qiji, if you don't kill it, it will eat us, you are still vulgar now, you don't have to think about those rules and precepts anymore, but if you don't want to kill, I am willing to die with you." Qi Ji clenched his dagger and said, "Sister Zhang Ning, don't worry, I will protect you thoroughly、、、"

Before Qi Qi could finish speaking, the giant snake began to attack. But under this stone cave sheltered from the rain, it is not easy to bite the two of them, because the head of the giant snake is too high. If it wanted to attack, it would have to bow its head before it could reach into the cave and take the two out.

The giant snake was wounded, and under the rage, it had already lost its mind, and wanted to swallow Qi Qi in one bite. Qi Qi saw the giant snake open its blood basin and bite it, so he suddenly retreated a few steps into the depths of the cave, with the purpose of luring it into the cave.

The space inside the cave is narrow, and after the snake head enters the cave, it is no longer flexible outside the cave. Just when Qi Ji had no way to retreat and was about to be bitten by the giant snake, Zhang Ning suddenly picked up a big stone and stuffed it into the giant snake's mouth at once. The giant snake thought it had bitten its prey, and as soon as its mouth closed, it knew that it had been fooled and was about to retreat. It's a pity that it's too late. Because just between the fire and light stones, Qi Qi had already inserted the short sword in his hand into the side of its eye. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next analysis.
