Chapter 3 Encounter a monster in the mountains and forests
Shangguan Jian ran in the dense forest with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat several times.
Look at the sun already turning west, and the light in the dense forest is getting dimmer.
After leaving the border, I couldn't even take a sip of water, and my mouth was a little painful.
He took the military kettle off his waist and shook it to his mouth for a long time, but not a drop of water came out.
If he didn't replenish the water, it was estimated that he would fall down if he couldn't reach the border, and he planned to find some mountain spring water to replenish some water before continuing his journey.
Shangguan Jian looked around in the dense forest and saw a ravine at a distance of two hundred meters from the lower left, and where there was usually a ravine in the dense forest, there would be a water source.
Shangguan Jian decided to try his luck, he ran towards the ravine, and when he ran to the ravine, he saw a ravine with no end in sight heading down the hillside.
The ravine was full of dead leaves, but there was no shadow of half a drop of water, and it was really a rainstorm to pick flour, and I was unlucky to go to my grandmother's house. Shangguan Jian was instantly disappointed.
Fortunately, it was very shady in the ravine, and he only stayed for a few minutes, and the feeling of dry mouth was immediately relieved.
Since I can't find water, why don't I stay for a while, slow down my strength and hurry again, and see a two-meter-square bluestone slab on the opposite side of the ravine, and Shangguan Jian plans to sleep on it to recuperate.
He jumped over the ravine and landed on the bluestone slab, so comfortable, Shangguan Jian lay lazily on it, only feeling every inch of his skin breathing.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep on the bluestone slab.
In his sleep, he only felt a gust of wind rolling towards him, and Shangguan Jian suddenly shuddered and woke him up from his sleep.
Unexpectedly, such a cool mountain breeze would blow in this hot season, he rubbed his eyes and was about to sit up from the bluestone slab.
Suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and before he could react, the whole person was rolled up by something, about three meters from the ground.
Shangguan Jian felt that the things wrapped around his body were getting tighter and tighter, and when he took a closer look, he instantly felt that his whole body was cold, and his whole body was being entangled by a giant python with a pitch-black body.
It's really careless, just snooze, and forget about the infestation of giant pythons in this area.
He felt that the python wrapped around his body was getting tighter and tighter, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, only to feel that his eyes were popping out, and he could even hear the snapping sound of the bones and joints of his body.
It's over, I can't imagine that I have been on the battlefield for so many years, can I really be planted in the mouth of this beast today.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to keep himself awake, trying to reach for the dagger hidden in his boots.
But his two arms and body were so entangled by the python that he couldn't move at all.
At this time, the giant python had already turned its big triangular head, and a fiery red whisker came out of its mouth and attacked his head.
It's over, this beast is going to eat me, Shangguan Jian was a little unwilling, he didn't even touch the woman, so he died here in a daze.
You brute dare to eat me, Lao Tzu will bite you first.
As he spoke, Shangguan Jian opened his mouth and bit at the snake body that was entwining him, the snake skin was so hard, and his teeth were like biting on a steel plate.
I remember when I was a child, the old people in the village often put up a dragon gate formation and said that the hardness of the python skin that has become fine is comparable to heavy armor, and ordinary muskets can't hurt a bit, and it seems that it is true today.
The python opened its bloody jaw closer and closer to his head, he didn't know how many times he had brushed shoulders with death in his mission, but he had never been afraid.
Now he smelled death, and just as the cold snake whiskers were stretching back and forth on his face, a goshawk flew out of nowhere.
The size of this goshawk is huge, it is like a small plane in the air, Shangguan Jian has never seen such a big goshawk, the color of the goshawk is the same as that of a python, and it is also pitch black.
The head is the size of a bowl, and the pointed mouth is curved like a sickle. The claws are nearly a meter long, like scythes flying in the air.
How could there be such a big goshawk in the world, Shangguan Jian didn't care about the python wrapped around his body, he was just dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the goshawk pounced on the python like lightning, he knew that the python and the goshawk had always been a pair of enemies, but it was the first time he had seen the goshawk and the python fight.
Seeing the attacking goshawk, the python didn't care about the Shangguan sword in front of him, turned his head and spit out his whiskers towards the goshawk, making a hissing sound.
The goose did not show weakness, and kept stretching out a meter-long steel claw to attack the python's head, and the python accidentally scratched several blood-red wounds on its head.
The python was caught by the goshawk, and the snake body wrapped around Shangguan Jian's body was a little loose.
Of course, he would not miss the chance to survive in front of him, and took advantage of the vacancy to reach out and take out the dagger from his military boots, and stabbed it at the snake's body.
A few pops and stabs, and a few streams of bright red snake blood erupted like a fountain.
Accidentally, several streams of blood spurted into Shangguan Jian's mouth.
He thought that the snake blood was extremely stinky, but he didn't expect that the blood of this giant python was like a sweet spring, with a faint fragrance.
Shangguan Jian was thirsty in his mouth, and there was such delicious snake blood, he simply drank at the blood that spurted out.
The python couldn't bear the pain on his body, coupled with the constant attack of the goshawk. In desperation, he put Shangguan's sword on the ground with a snap.
Seeing that the python put down the Shangguan sword, the geese no longer attacked the python, turned around and flew towards the dense forest.
It turned out that the goshawk was here to save me, and I didn't expect this animal to be so spiritual. Shangguan Jian bowed in the direction of the goshawk's departure.
He looked at the python lying on the ground and rolling on it, for fear that the beast would come and eat him again. Hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran in the direction of the border.
Before he had run 500 meters, the goose that had just flown away came back with a person on his back.
I didn't expect that the goshawk had such strength and could hold a person up.
Birds can support people, only in mythological stories are recorded, and they have not been seen in reality.
When the visitor saw that Shangguan Jian was leaving, he hurriedly told him to wait.
I think that this goshawk is fed by someone, and it is also my own life-saving benefactor.
Hearing the shouts of the comers, Shangguan Jian returned the same way.
After seeing the faces of the people who came, Shangguan Jian gasped in his heart, and out of politeness, his face was calm.
The other party was an old man at least two and a half meters tall, with a thin body, blue indigo skin, curly hair draped over his shoulders, and deep sunken eyes with a high nose bridge.
It gives people a sense of oppression, and at this moment, Shangguan Jian's brain is constantly searching, what kind of race is this?
When the visitor saw Shangguan Jian, he didn't speak, and looked at him with straight eyes, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and saw that Shangguan Jian's heart was straight.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Shangguan Jian couldn't say anything.
After watching it for nearly two minutes, he nodded with satisfaction at Shangguan Jian.
Tell Shangguan Jian that the goshawk around him was raised by him, I have already guessed this, Shangguan Jian nodded politely.
In fact, the python was also raised by me, and someone pointed to the python on the side of the ravine.
What? The python was also raised by you, Shangguan Jian couldn't be polite anymore, and immediately raised his voice by several tens of decibels.
Yes, the person who came nodded calmly, this python I raised likes to eat young men.
Several young men who have come here to hunt have been eaten by him lately, are you the fuck devil? Several lives were injured by the python you raised, you are really talking about Kai Kai so lightly, Lao Tzu really wants to give you a shuttle, Shangguan Jian scolded angrily in his heart.
The person who came looked at Shangguan Jian and smiled slightly, I am not a devil, besides, the weapon on your back can't hurt me in the slightest, and you will understand it in the future.
Damn, this man actually knows that I am scolding him in my heart, and I know that I want to reward him with a few bullets, can he read minds?
The person who came didn't wait for Shangguan Jian to speak, he continued, Although the python I raised wanted to eat you, the eagle I raised saved you.
Besides, if you drink its blood, not only will it not be a loss to you, but it will be very beneficial to you. The person who came looked at Shangguan Jian with a smug expression.
It's just a few mouthfuls of python blood, what good can it be, can it make me invincible to all poisons and prolong my life, Shangguan Jian muttered in his heart.
At this time, I saw the python that was still dying on the ground just now, and swam to them energetically.
To Shangguan Jian's surprise, the knife wound on the python's body was already intact, and there was no trace of being stabbed by the knife.
The python looked at Shangguan Jian viciously, and anger erupted in his eyes, as if he wanted revenge.
He was afraid that the python would attack him again, so he quickly took a few steps back.
Someone waved his hand and told him not to be afraid, with me, Qingxuan will not hurt you. As he spoke, he patted the python's body.
The python seemed to have received an order, and its body twisted for more than ten meters, and disappeared into the dense forest in an instant.
The old man then took out an egg-sized crystal ball from his body and handed it to Shangguan Jian, and said that if we can meet again, it means that you and I are destined.
Give this bead to you today, it will be useful to you at a critical moment.
When Shangguan Jian wanted to speak, the old man waved his hand to stop him, I know you are very curious about everything you see in front of you.
But the time is not ripe for me to tell you, and you will have a chance to know when the time comes.
After saying that, the old man turned around and rode a goshawk and disappeared into the jungle, am I dreaming? Shangguan Jian pinched his thigh fiercely, and he could actually feel pain, but he wasn't dreaming.
It's getting dark, and if you don't go back to the border, you might encounter something terrible here at night.
