Chapter 40 Chapter 40 The Calamity of the Python

It is said that the tree crown above the head is actually very close to us, almost two or three meters away, and the scales of the snake can be clearly seen.This is a tree python, the thickest part is as thick as a bucket, and the canopy is dense. Most of the body is hidden inside and I don’t know how long it is. What surprised me is that the scales of the snake reflected brown-gold under the light of the miner’s lamp. The color of the snake was as if the snake had been gilded. When we climbed up just now, there must have been no pythons around. This snake should have crawled along these tangled tree crowns while we were resting.The boa constrictor moved very slowly except for predation, and its movements were very stealthy. There was still a little wind outside, and the sound of leaves was everywhere in the jungle. Several people were confused and didn't feel it at all.Pan Zi, who was on guard at night, didn't notice its approach either.

However, it is not surprising that there are boa constrictors here. The tropical rainforest is originally the hometown of boa constrictors, and we have seen too many weird things. A mere big snake seems to be unable to tighten our nerves. Pan Zi and the others had all seen the world, and they were surprisingly calm, no one moved or screamed.The attack distance of this kind of snake is very long. I don't know if it is interested in us now. If it moves rashly and startles the snake, it will attack in an instant. We always suffer in the trees. Our side was in a stalemate, while the tree python slowly coiled down. The huge snake head hung under the branch and looked at us. The yellow and poisonous snake eyes made people extremely uncomfortable in the dark night.

Pan Zi had already raised his gun and was still pushing the fat man. This bastard can really sleep, no matter how much he pushes, he won't wake up.Poker Fing's black gold knife was also placed across the back of his waist, and the dagger was held backwards in his other hand.Everyone shrank back subconsciously, trying to keep a distance from the snake. I was at the end, thinking that if I wanted to attack, I would not attack me first, so I looked under the tree and wondered if it would be okay if I jumped down. This is a tree after all, and it is quite high, so I can’t move around. will suffer.

After the heavy rain, the waterfalls on the cliffs on both sides converged into a large number of streams at the bottom of the canyon. Now these streams have merged, and the muddy land under the trees has become a black marsh. There should be tree roots and mud underneath. I don't know if I can run or not. Thinking about it, I turned my head to look at the rainforest in front of me again. At this time, the sound of tree canopies trembling and rustling came from all around again, this time it seemed to come from behind me. Looking back, my cold sweat came down like a waterfall.Just behind my neck hangs a smaller tree python, which is also brown and golden in color. This one is about the thickness of a thigh, and it is only an arm's length away from my face.

I was so frightened that I shrank back again. The people in front shrank back, and I shrank forward. Several people crowded together, and there was no way out. This time I really didn't dare to move, and everyone froze there.People glared at snakes, snakes glared at people, and even their breathing tightened. I feel strange in my heart, pythons are solitary animals, have a strong sense of territory, and rarely hunt together, except during the mating period. Could it be that the rainy season here is their mating period?That was a really bad time to come in.The two boa constrictors, one in front of the other, seemed to be consciously trying to attack us. They were probably a pair of male and female that had just mated. When I thought of the human corpse inside the snake bones, I felt sick, and I thought to myself, what the hell? I don't want to be a dessert for your happy ending.

The two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time, and no one has moved. The python may rarely see people, and it may not be clear about the situation for a while, so they dare not attack. Moreover, Poker Ping and Pan Zi's momentum is very fierce, and the two of them died like stone sculptures. Staring into the snake's eyes, the boa constrictor seemed to sense potential danger and hesitated. Ten minutes later, sure enough, the two pythons couldn't find any openings for us, so they slowly retracted into the canopy of the tree, as if they wanted to give up. Seeing the snakes on both sides rolled up, I couldn't help but slowly let out a breath of relief, Pan Zi's tense body also slowly relaxed, and the gun head was also slowly lowered.I'm glad in my heart, to be honest, it's better not to fight a snake in this kind of place, not to mention the attack power of this snake, even if you stumble and fall from here, it's enough to kill you.

But just when I wanted to breathe out softly, the fat man on one side suddenly turned over, snored vaguely, and made a long nasal sound. It was a sudden sound in extreme silence, and everyone was startled. Ah Ning hurriedly pressed his mouth, but it was too late.The whole tree shook violently, and the tree python in front poked its head back again. This time, the snake's body was bowed into a U shape, and it was obvious at a glance that it was about to attack. Pan Zi immediately raised his gun but was a step too late, the python's head bit like lightning.In an instant, Pan Zi reluctantly lowered his head, and the snake's head bit him from the side of his head. Poker Bottle behind him couldn't see well, and he bit his shoulder before he could dodge.Then the muscular python swept in like a gust of wind. In a very short period of time, its upper body like a dragon slammed on the snake bones under our feet. The crumbling pile of bones immediately fell apart. Knocked out, and then the feet collapsed, and everyone was wrapped in the snake bones and fell down.

Fortunately, there were a lot of vines entangled in the snake bones, the bones were broken and tendons were connected, and all parts were pulled by the vines when they collapsed halfway.I grabbed my hands and feet, grabbed the vine and slid down a few meters and got stuck. When I looked up, I saw Poker Bottle was tightly entangled by the python and rolled into the air. The ancient black gold knife hit somewhere , The snake curled up, and the coil became tighter and tighter, Poker bottle struggled hard but there was no way. In a hurry, I yelled at Pan Zi to shoot quickly, but when I turned my head, I couldn't see Pan Zi, and I didn't know where he fell.At this moment, I saw Poker Bottle in mid-air suddenly shrugged his shoulders, shrank his whole body suddenly, slipped from the entanglement of the python's body, landed on a branch, turned over and jumped to the tangle I slid down the vine, slid right next to me, and yelled at me, "Give me the knife!"

I hurried to draw the knife, but I was so nervous that I didn't pull it out after a few times.At this time, the boa constrictor realized that it had coiled itself empty, and couldn't help being furious, and suddenly coiled back up the tree, and arrived in front of us in a flash, the snake turned its head and bit it fiercely. "Damn", I cursed, and saw the bloody mouth coming towards my face. I am afraid that few people can experience that kind of visual impact. Poker bottle grabbed the vine and pulled it from the vine I took out a bone and threw it over. The boa constrictor dodged in the air, buying us a little time, and Poker Ping yelled at me: "Jump down!"

But at that time, I was stunned, and I didn't know what I was thinking, so I curled up in reflex, and couldn't react at once. At that moment, the snake's head bowed again, and Poker Bottle let out a "tsk" and flew up. Kicked me out with one kick. This kick was so hard that the vine I pulled broke, and I scratched again in a panic, but I couldn't catch anything after a few grabs, so I fell freely and hit several branches. He fell heavily to the ground.Fortunately, there was water and mud underneath, so I rolled over a few times and lay on my stomach, with mud in my mouth, but it didn't hurt very much.

In a trance, someone helped me up, and I dragged it outside. After a few steps, I started to feel burning pain all over my body. After I wiped off the mud on my face, I saw that it was Aning and Fatty who were supporting me. I looked around and saw the miner's lamp. It all fell into the mud and went out, and everything was a blur.Pan Zi pointed his gun at the tree, but looking from under the tree, the crown of the tree was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. "How are you?" Anin asked me. I shook my head and said it's okay, they dragged me out, and I said no, that kid is still on the tree, so I can't leave him alone! As soon as he said that the whole tree was shaking wildly, Poker Face stepped on the trunk like a monkey and jumped down. At the same time, a huge black shadow rolled up on the leaves and bark followed like a gust of wind.The two shadows were almost wrapped together and fell into the muddy water. Before the splash fell, the python rushed towards him with a bite. Poker Face was wrapped in the splash and disappeared in a flash. When I saw it, I thought, fuck it, he was actually fighting the snake, so I yelled Pan Zi, hurry up and help! Before I could say anything, Pan Zi rushed over, cursing, tilting his head to avoid the spray, raised his gun to aim, and finally fired the first shot.His marksmanship is extremely good, he hit the snake's head with one shot, twisted the snake in the air, and turned Poker Bottle out from under the snake's body, and ran out.The snake didn't die, it flipped violently, like a spring, it turned back and bit it, but at the same time, Pan Zi shot again, and retracted it back.He backed away at the same time, and then yelled at us, "I'm covering! Get out—!" Before the words were finished, another tree python suddenly shot down from the tree, biting Pan Zi's shoulder, and then lifting him up with a bow from the snake's body. The attack was too fast, no one reacted, we were shocked, he had already been swept into the air.I watched him scratching his hands and feet, and my heart sank, I was done! It was too late and then soon, seeing that Pan Zi was not afraid in the face of danger, he turned his folding saber out with one hand a few times, and then stabbed upwards, and suddenly plunged into the snake's eye.The giant python was so painful that its whole body was bent, and it let go at once. Pan Zi was thrown, hit a tree, rolled over and fell, his face was covered with blood.Then Ah Ning fired two cold fireworks from his backpack, slammed his hands on his knees to ignite, rushed between the boa constrictor and Pan Zi, blocked the boa constrictor with cold flames and yelled at us: "Drag him away, run away!" !" I yelled no!The temperature of the cold fireworks is not enough!Aning said, you know that snakes don't! Fatty and I rushed over, helped Panzi up and ran into the woods, but before we had gone a few steps, suddenly water splashed with muddy waves.Turning around, I saw that the giant python behind Poker Face was still alive, the snake's head was covered with blood, and its huge body was furiously chasing after Poker Fase, who was rushing towards me, and the huge python danced wildly behind him , It looked like it was flying. The python is angry!Very serious consequences!This sentence suddenly appeared in my mind, seeing the situation, my feet went limp, and Poker bottle yelled "get down", the fat man grabbed me and ran forward a few steps, then fell down in the water.The python arrived in no time, and Poyouping and Aning rolled over into the mud as soon as they turned over. The huge body of the python rolled past my back. One of them couldn't stop, so it crashed into a big tree on one side, and the tree almost died. Crashed, leaves and tree attachments fell like rain. When we got up, we couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north. The fat man became murderous and cursed: "I'll fuck your grandma, I'll fight with it!" The bumpy python rushed over.I rushed up, hugged him by the waist, and prevented him from passing by. Poker Face also got up. I saw blood on his shoulders, obviously seriously injured.Panting and pointing to the jungle on one side, he shouted to us, "Run, there's something wrong with these two snakes!" Seeing that Poker Face was injured like this, the fat man also muttered, he hurriedly carried Pan Zi on his back, and threw Pan Zi's gun to me. I carried the gun to the rear, and the group of people fled straight into the jungle.As soon as he rushed into the bushes, the water splashed behind him, and the snake came again. No one had time to look behind. Under the trees was an extremely lush bush and fern. We rushed in, and the branches were all thorny. They slid across my bare skin and pulled out countless blood strips, which hurt me so much. He grinned, but he couldn't control it anymore, he gritted his teeth and ran wildly. No one would have imagined that we could reach that speed in the jungle. If we kept going at this speed, we would have crossed the canyon as early as noon today.We quickly rushed to the edge of the canyon, the walls were full of waterfalls, and the water was knee-deep in one fell swoop, and we couldn't run any faster. We turned around and looked, damn it, the snake almost didn't let us fall much, and it followed like a dragon in the bushes like lightning.We wanted to run again, and there was a waterfall ahead. There was no way, and the fat man yelled: "Fuck, who led the way!" Several people panicked. The water here is so deep that they can't move, and the tree python is very flexible in the water.At this time, Ah Ning saw something and shouted to us: "There!" We looked along her miner's lamp, and saw a crack behind the waterfall on one side of the rock, which seemed to be a place to hide, and the fat man shouted urgently: "Hurry up!" We rushed over, rushed into the waterfall, the opening of the crack was very narrow, and the boa constrictor would definitely not be able to get in. We were very reluctant to get in, and several of us squeezed in sideways, and the inside was full of water. We barely squeezed in, but the fat man You can't get in even if you kill them. We pulled him desperately, and he squeezed in desperately, but only one leg came in. Aning, who was inside, shone the miner's lamp out of the gap, and the huge snake head was already outside the water curtain of the waterfall. It was a huge shadow. .The fat man also panicked, yelling what are you doing!Lights out, lights out! I went up and covered his mouth, and softly told him to shut up.But everyone knows that hiding is definitely useless, so they all picked up the guy and prepared to go all out. But what was strange was that the boa constrictor actually wandered outside the waterfall, and didn't put its head into the waterfall. After wandering a few times, it turned around and walked away. As a result, we looked at each other in blank dismay, all inexplicable.As long as the snake pokes its head in, the fat man will definitely be finished. We can't just stand by and watch. It's a deadly battle. It's enough if you don't die halfway. Why did it go away suddenly? Could it be that it's afraid of this waterfall? At this time, we all heard a series of "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds from the depths of the gap, like a chicken crowing, and the rumble of water outside was not loud, but the chicken crowing here was particularly refreshing. We heard it all at once. Everyone turned their heads, and only then did they have the energy to observe the gap, and found that the water inside was up to our waists, and then looked inside the gap, and there was no more when we went in, and there was something standing in the crack of the stone at the end. thing.This thing is completely hidden in the darkness, and with the peripheral light of the miner's lamp, it can't be found at all. My eyes were in a daze, and I couldn't see clearly, but when I saw the standing posture of this thing, I felt bad.I couldn't tell where the strangeness was, so I asked Ah Ning to turn the miner's lamp around. The light went over, and the thing showed its true colors. I took a look, and for two or three seconds, I didn't realize what it was. It was two or three seconds of extreme surprise, and then I reacted. Eye. In the innermost part of the gap, I saw a snake about the thickness of a wrist. This snake was not a boa constrictor. It was red all over.What I couldn't believe was that the snake was standing there straight, with its head down, looking at me fiercely, and its whole posture was like a person without hands and feet. I looked into the snake's eyes, and could barely move at once. I just stared at it until Aning pulled me. At that moment, I didn't realize what I saw. I immediately knew why the giant snake The snake is about to abandon us.Childhood fears spread through the body at once.
