The Overlord Python is one of the largest python species in the world. It has three fine black stripes on its head, one in the middle of the head, and the other two extending from the two corners to the corners of the mouth. The back of the body is gray-brown or yellow-brown, with complex diamond-shaped black stripes. The brown or light gray net-like markings look like part of the tree when hidden in dense rainforest, making it difficult to spot.
This kind of giant python is a nocturnal animal. It usually rests in trees during the day and comes out to hunt at night. Its eyes can only see the outline of moving objects, so they mostly stay still in one place and wait for opportunities to prey on passing animals.
¡°However, the lip fossa between its upper lip scales is very sensitive to infrared rays and can detect temperature changes of one thousandth of a degree Celsius at a distance of 34.5 meters.
This makes the Bawu python have a very high success rate in hunting, and it is generally difficult for prey passing in front of it to escape. When hunting, the prey is first strangled and then swallowed whole. After a python preys once, it may stop eating for several days.
Although this kind of giant python is not poisonous, its bloody mouth can swallow an entire adult, and its bucket-like body can easily strangle a large buffalo.
Yang Yi often performed missions in the rainforest in his previous life and was very familiar with this giant python that inhabits the tropical rainforest, but he had never seen such a big python. The python in front of him was nearly 20 meters long and covered with It has brown markings and is as thick as a bucket. As far as Yang Yi knows, the Overlord Python usually strangles its prey with its body before swallowing it.
However, according to Ozawa Saburo, the giant python bit Noda Hachiro's head directly, and then quickly swallowed his upper body. After Yang Yi led people to catch up with the giant python. It was horrifying to see this huge python devouring Noda Hachiro. Yang Yi could hear the sound of teeth chattering behind him;
This is not surprising, it is the first time I have seen such a huge python. Most people would be so frightened that their feet would weaken. Even Yang Yi himself, seeing the giant python swallowing people, the hairs on his body stood up, wondering if the giant python had become an adult.
But he couldn't retreat. Although the army behind him was the private armed force of the Yang family, it had been training in Kagoshima, Japan. Yang Yi understood that he was a very distant existence in their hearts. Most people had only heard of his name before but never met him;
This voyage is the first time they have met. For such a force to be absolutely loyal to them, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the false reputations in the past. It must be respected by actual actions.
The heavy rain in the sky continued, and there was a roaring sound in the forest, which made people feel like the grass and trees were all in war. Yang Yi wiped the rain on his face and said to Meng Yunshan and others: "Boasts usually hide during the day. They only come out to hunt at night. This one The giant python comes out to eat people in the daytime. I'm afraid it has become a spirit, so everyone should move away."
Meng Yunshan and others could not wait to retreat immediately. The further away from this astonishing "snake spirit" the better. After listening to Yang Yi's instructions, everyone retreated quickly;
At this moment. Yang Yi suddenly shook off his cloak, held the Crescent Sword tightly in both hands, rubbed his body and rushed towards the giant python. The misty rain and fog soon made his figure hazy.
"Captain"
"The captain is in danger"
Meng Yunshan and others were so shocked that they all screamed out, while Yang Yi held his breath and did not dare to answer. He was afraid of being discouraged and afraid of startling the giant python, because at this time he had already rushed to the tail of the giant python, and the heavy rain was hitting his head and face, making his vision a little blurry;
While he was paying attention to the reaction of the giant python, he also had to pay attention to his feet to avoid slipping. To be honest, facing such a huge giant python, Yang Yi was also terrified. Once he was caught by its body, he would soon fall. It can break all the bones in your body, and your death will be miserable.
¡°Perhaps because the giant python was busy swallowing Noda Hachiro, or maybe Yang Yi moved too fast, it also noticed that in short, Yang Yi had already rushed to the middle of the giant python¡¯s body, and the giant python had no sign of attacking him yet.
"Go to hell!" Yang Yi roared, pouring all his strength into the Crescent Sword, and slashed down with the sword.
"Dang!" With a sound, the giant python's body was cut in half at the waist. The tail of Baowan in Yang Yi's hand was chopped on a stone, and sparks flew everywhere;
The huge pain caused the giant python's body to roll up quickly, and its head was swept against a tree as thick as an arm. With a "click!", the small tree was swept down, and water droplets and leaves were swept away;
The tail of the giant python flew back with a "whoop!". It all happened so fast that Yang Yi had no time to dodge. The snake's tail swept onto Yang Yi's back, knocking him away more than two feet and throwing him down in the grass. .
Yang Yi ignored the pain on his body and rolled a few times in the grass before quickly getting up. Although the body of the giant python was not completely cut off, the vertebrae were definitely broken. Only the skin and flesh on the abdomen were still connected, and smelly red blood was gushing out from its wounds.
Its tail is in a piece ofThe puddle was churning and thrashing, causing water to splash and grass blades to fly. The sound was very scary. The head rolled towards Yang Yi again, and the speed was so fast that it made the sound of howling wind. How could Yang Yi dare to go against it? , his feet stumbled, and he quickly bounced behind a big tree.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the giant python hit the big tree hard. The tree body shook loudly, the leaves swayed off one after another, and a piece of bark was knocked off. It splashed on Yang Yi's feet, which was very painful.
Yang Yi quickly dodged out, and saw Noda Hachiro's body had been spit out by the giant python. The python's head was on the ground, and its body was still writhing. Yang Yi thought it was dead, and when he slashed with his knife, the python's head fell. His body ejected again, and the big mouth of the blood plate opened wide enough to stuff a cow. Yang Yi was so shocked that he rolled into the muddy water again. The big mouth of the blood plate passed over his bun. It was so thrilling that Yang Yi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Straight up!
"Kill!" Yang Yi suppressed the feeling of heart palpitations, and before the giant python's body could roll up, he exhaled again, and the Crescent Moon Sword struck out violently again, hitting the giant python's neck hard.
The neck of the giant python was small, and with a sound of "poof!", the giant python was split open and its head was separated. Blood spurted out, and when he cut it again, the snake's body writhed even more intensely, and a large area of ??the surrounding bushes was swept down.
Yang Yi didn't dare to neglect, he held the sword and ran for more than ten feet before he dared to stop and take a breath. This kind of giant python would be caught by its body, even if its head was missing. It can also crush all the bones in your body.
A whole cup of tea time passed before the giant python's body completely stopped churning. There was no sound, Meng Yunshan and others were in shock. He ran over and asked repeatedly: "Captain, Captain, are you okay?"
Yang Yi took a long breath, shook off the muddy water all over his body, and then smiled calmly: "What can happen? No matter what monsters or monsters they encounter, if they meet me, just kill them. That's it. Bury Noda Hachiro quickly. We have to keep going."
"Here!"
Meng Yunshan and deputy battalion commander Chen Changqing solemnly performed a military salute, showing great respect. Obviously, Yang Yi's goal was achieved, and this move made Meng Yunshan and others feel respectful in their hearts.
After hastily burying Noda Hachiro, Yang Yi and his party set off again. Everyone's steps were much firmer this time. Although it was still raining heavily in the sky, people slipped and fell from time to time. But no one complained, and the march speed was much faster.
While marching, everyone was talking about Yang Yi's feat of killing the giant python just now. Someone said: "I heard the old man say it before. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, started an uprising after killing the giant snake, defeated Xiang Yu, and unified the world."
"Yes, yes. I have also heard that Liu Bang killed a white snake. Is it as big as the one our captain killed?"
"Definitely not. I have never seen such a big snake. It was so scary. Ozawa Saburo and others in front were so scared that they wet their pants and watched Noda Hachiro being swallowed. No one dared to go up and save others."
"Isn't this nonsense? If it were you, would you dare to go up? Except for people like our captain, who would dare to go up?"
"This makes sense. Our captain is not an ordinary person. He must have descended from the stars in the sky."
"What kind of star do you think our captain is?"
"I think it must be Ziwei"
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If you don't know what kind of star the captain is, stop talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense, you know what you're talking about."
"I don't know either, but one thing I know is that for us, we just know that following the captain is the right thing to do."
""
Hundreds of people talked about everything, and the more they talked, the more mysterious they became. Yang Yi did not stop him. People in this era are still relatively superstitious. If this kind of superstition is used well, it has endless magical effects. Once the soldiers start to believe in you, With such a heart, no matter how many hardships they go through, no matter how hard they fight to the end, they will still firmly believe that you can lead them to victory.
Like some fanatical believers of certain sects, because of their faith in their hearts, they can ignore the mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them and rush forward resolutely, because they believe that even if the body dies, the soul can be protected by the god they believe in.
Faith is both a respectable and terrifying thing.
They walked in the dense rain forest for more than an hour in the rain. It was getting dark before they found a relatively open place to camp.
Yang Yi carefully taught the things to pay attention to when camping in the forest. First, try not to camp by the stream. Choose some flat and open areas. Try to remove the grass and shrubs in the camp as much as possible, and light more fires around the camp;
Now that it¡¯s raining and it¡¯s impossible to light a fire, we dig tree stumps around and set up wooden thorns to prevent attacks by large beasts. We then sprinkle more sulfur, realgar and other substances along these wooden stumps to prevent insects and snakes.
In addition, everyone should also apply realgar on their body and repellent mosquitoesHerbal juice; there are many precautions. Fortunately, this team has experienced wilderness survival training and can do a good job without Yang Yi's instructions one by one.
It rained heavily all day and did not stop until the first watch. Yang Yi ordered the night guard to light a fire around the camp, then pulled a hammock between two trees and prepared to have a good sleep.
However, as soon as he lay down, Xiaobai, who was guarding under the hammock, howled wildly and even jumped up instantly, throwing him down from the hammock;
Yang Yi quickly got up. Xiaobai had never reacted in such a manic manner. When he saw this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
At this time, in addition to Xiaobai's howl, in the dark night, the surroundings were filled with the manic howls of tigers, leopards, apes and other animals.
This abnormal phenomenon frightened Yang Yi. He rushed over and snatched the gong from a night guard, banging it hard and shouting: "Get up, everyone, get up, hurry up! Everyone who wants to live, get up." , hurry up¡±
