Chapter 278: The belly python intercepts the flow and blocks the way
The river rushed, and the splash kept lapping against the water's edge.
Xu He stood by the river and looked left and right, his brows furrowed, and his whole face seemed to be twisted together.
"How is this river crossed?" Zhong Ruida asked, standing behind Xu He.
"There used to be a tree trunk across the river, but now I don't know where it went?"
Zhong Ruida also glanced around, except for the "whooshing" water flow, where there were any tree trunks. Immediately afterwards, he glanced at the other side of the river, although the river was dozens of zhang wide, it was not impossible to bring people over with the light skills of the four of them.
Zhong Ruida told Tu Fangfang and the others what he thought in his heart, and the other three all nodded in agreement. Fortunately, after a fierce battle, there were only a few of these guards left in Huashan City, and the four of them each took them back and forth a few times.
The first to move was naturally Zhong Ruida, who picked up a guard with a thigh injury. Then, leaping up from his feet, he tapped lightly on the trunk of a tree. The body once again used its strength to rush forward.
The other side of the river is overgrown with weeds, and just after winter, the weeds are still yellow. The cold wind blew, and the waist-high wild grass kept swaying with the wind, making a "rustling" sound.
Zhong Ruida told the wounded guard to wait here, and he jumped back to the other side of the river again.
The guard stood alone in the middle of the grass, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.
"Whew!", the scimitar was drawn from his side, and he looked around vigilantly.
"Rustle!"
The guards turned their backs sharply, but saw nothing but the weeds swaying in the wind. He glanced back at the other side of the river, where Li Maocai was about to transport the second guard across the river.
"Hey, hurry up!" the guard shouted, and the arm holding the scimitar trembled a little.
"Got it, what's the fuck in a hurry?" Li Zhuang scolded angrily. In his heart, these useless guards of Huashan City were completely burdensome. He discussed with Xu He many times and asked these people to go back as soon as possible, but Xu He said that he did not agree to anything.
The guards turned a deaf ear to Li Zhuang's scolding, he just lowered his head and stared at the wild grass in front of him. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling that there seemed to be something hidden in this wild grass.
Li Maocai finally started to set off, don't look at his thin body, but his light skills are very powerful. He carried a stout man in his hand, but he didn't feel the slightest effort.
Like Zhong Ruida, he stepped on the trunk of the tree and rushed directly to the other side of the river. But his luck was far from Zhong Ruida's, and when he reached the middle of the river, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the turbulent river and was swimming upstream.
Li Maocai obviously noticed this as well, and one of his hands had quietly touched the five-square sword on his waist!
"Whoa!"
Although he was ready, Li Maocai was still startled by the behemoth in front of him. It looks like a python, but it's not exactly like it.
The difference is that its belly has a bright red color. The huge skull was the size of a farmer's water tank, and its mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of neat and sharp teeth. Half of its body had risen out of the water, and it could be five or six feet long.
"Whoosh!" a dark red tongue shot out of its mouth, the tip of the tongue was forked, thin and long, and stained with a lot of viscous liquid.
Li Maocai was shocked, and his body turned in the air. In this way, the power of the forward shot just now has been reduced by half. What's more, he also carried a big man with a hundred pounds in his arms.
"Brother Li, hold on!" Li Zhuang and Zhong Ruida shouted almost at the same time.
It was also at the same time that the two of them quickly rose into the air and headed towards the giant beast that attacked Li Maocai.
When had the guards of Huashan City seen such a scene, they were all stunned, and they all hid far away.
Instead of being afraid, Xu Fei was extremely excited. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Finally, finally let me see you!
"Someone, someone!"
A guard trembled to Xu He's side.
"Uncle Xu, what's the matter?"
Xu He glanced at the guards beside him, then pointed to the giant python in front of him, and he shouted excitedly: "Shoot me an arrow, shoot it to Lao Tzu!"
"Huh?"
The guard was obviously surprised, he thought that Xu He was finally going to order a retreat, but he didn't expect this old boy to let himself attack with arrows.
Although the guards were timid in their hearts, they could only obey their orders. If they abandon their armor and don't go back the way they came, it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of the lost forest.
The guards will be heartbroken, anyway, it will be a death horizontally, so it is better to fight here.
"Brothers, find the right place and shoot this beast to death for me. ”
Although there are only a few ten of these guards from Huashan City, their ability to fight alone is not bad.
At the sound of the order, they hid themselves behind trees or crouched in the grass. Sharp arrows shone with a dazzling silver light from all over the woods.
Tu Fangfang and Li Zhuang have already joined the battle formation, although the four of them cannot be regarded as top masters, they are also well-known in the martial arts.
Now that the four of them are working together, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
But this python is so large, and it is obviously not an extraordinary thing. No matter how Zhong Ruida and the four of them besieged Leng or not, they couldn't hurt it.
"Brother Zhong!" Xu He shouted as he stood on the shore.
Zhong Ruida pulled around and saw that the ten guards behind Xu He had already bent their bows and arrows and were ready. He immediately understood, and made a look at the other three. Subsequently, the four people were evacuated from all directions.
Xu He saw the opportunity and gave an order.
"Whoosh!"
Silver light flashed in the woods, and more than thirty bows and arrows made of stainless steel shot forward densely.
"Roar!"
Most of the more than thirty bows and arrows were fired at its abdomen. But what was unexpected was that its crimson abdomen seemed to be invulnerable, and the bow and arrow were instantly bounced off and fell into the water.
Still, there were several bows and arrows stuck in its body. One of them was right in its head.
The red-bellied python let out a high-pitched roar. Then, with a twist of its body, it dived directly into the water.
Xu He ordered the soldiers to change their arrows again to prepare for them, and he went to the river alone. The turbid water was still turbulent, and there was nothing unusual underneath the water.
Xu He took another step forward, and there was a pool of stagnant water near the river bank. Where the water flows, it produces a lot of white foam that swirls in the middle of the pool.
"Po ......"
A series of bubbles rise from the bottom of the pool, becoming denser and denser from large to smaller. Immediately after, wisps of red blood slowly rose from the bottom.
Xu He was shocked, and ran away.
