Chapter 18 Killing the Python
Chapter 18 Killing the Python
The gray veil was removed from the sky, revealing the first blue sky since the beginning of winter, so blue that it was green, and there was a cool fragrance of evergreen plants in the dry and cold air.Occasionally, there are slight tremors among the dead branches and bushes, which are small animals that can't bear the hunger and take advantage of the good weather to come out to look for food.
Two people with strange big baskets walked from the woods. They were covered with animal skins, even the tops of their heads were covered with a circle of furry animal skins. Chi slipped and slipped back.The two of them didn't care about the various small movements around them, they just kept their heads on their way.
Those two baskets were newly made by Xu Fei a few days ago, specially used for carrying heavy objects on his back.Weeds in winter are hard to find, and he got two baskets only after dismantling three baskets of vines.It was also thanks to the fact that Nagu was greedy for freshness at that time, and weaved more than a dozen baskets by himself, but when he was tearing down the baskets, Nagu kept peeking at the side, as if he was afraid that his basket would be torn down.
A layer of animal skin was placed inside the basket, and many yellow stone stubbles were wrapped inside, because it was wrapped in a layer of animal skin to insulate the pungent smell.In addition, these are the sulfur stones that Xu Fei and Nagu found from the hot spring cave. Nagu didn't understand why he brought the foam made from this strange smelly stone. Xu Fei explained that their snakes were afraid of it. In addition, there is a story of Bai Suzhen, who confused Nagu and asked for an explanation, and this guy picked up the big man to work with bad intentions.
In addition, Xu Fei and Nagu also found a lot of fans.It is said that it is a poisonous fruit that can cause coma if eaten by mistake, and can cause people to sleep for a long time if overdose.This fruit looks similar to grapes in appearance, it is clustered in bunches, mostly green in color, but it smells surprisingly good, even better than the red grass fruit that Xu Fei has eaten.This winter is specialized in the winter when everything is withered and food is scarce. Some wanderers who are lost will be tempted by the scent in front of them, and then sleep forever in the snow.Some small animals that eat by mistake will also fall under the fruit tree and become fertilizer to nourish the tree.
Xu Fei knew how huge the boa constrictor was. Although he had prepared half a basket of nuts, he wasn't sure if such a large quantity could stun that big monster.However, the boa constrictor was seriously injured, and it was still winter. Even if this wonderful boa constrictor did not need to hibernate, its flexibility would be greatly weakened.Xu Fei very much hoped that what they encountered was a life-threatening one, who was dying and almost gave it a knife to help it out.
Hearing about Xu Fei's plan, Nagu felt that Xu Fei was more powerful than the most intelligent high priest in the tribe.In the past, they only knew that the fruit was a dangerous poison and could not be eaten, but they never thought of using it to deal with prey stronger than themselves.What should I do? It seems that my daughter-in-law is stronger than myself, and the pressure is so great!
Xu Fei calmly accepted the big man's adoring gaze, but he didn't want to find any sense of superiority from the primitive people, after all, he was passed down from modern times, and his way of thinking must be more open than theirs.
Although he found two auxiliary props, Xu Fei didn't dare to be careless.After all, this is not a rehearsal, and one failure is game over.All the links have been arranged in detail in his mind, including their retreat in case of failure.He doesn't have the determination to blow up the bunker with the explosives on his back, if he can't, he will fight again next time.
Because snakes are cold-blooded animals, they naturally like warm places, which is why they have lived deep in the rainforest for a long time.Nagu took him to search for several warm slopes facing the sun and leeward.In this magical continent, the temperature zone is similar to that of the earth. The middle part is the hottest place, and the place where Nagu and the others live belongs to the temperate zone.I heard that there are only three short days in summer in places further north, followed by eternal winter, and there is no way to live in those places.
The disappearance of the patriarch made Nagu concentrate all his grievances on the giant python, so he looked for it very seriously, hoping to find that thing immediately to vent his anger and avenge the patriarch.
This gentle slope is close to the rainforest, and the surrounding snow is thinner than other places. A large strip of weeds that has been overwhelmed caught Nagu's attention.He pulled Xu Fei who was still spinning around with zero sense of direction, and pointed to the strange place.Xu Fei understood at a glance, the one that obviously walked in an "S" shape, there should be no one except the boa constrictor.
This time it was Xu Fei who pulled Nagu aside and told them, and the two discussed it in a low voice, mainly because Xu Fei said that Nagu said "hmmm" to the side, so Xu Fei didn't know how stupid he understood Don't tell me, there can't be any deviation in this thing. In the end, he was still worried and forced the big man to repeat it again before he was relieved.
After confirming, the two of them searched lightly along the traces, and found dark black bloodstains on the light brown withered grass leaves along the way, and disappeared after walking for a while.Nagu held Xu Fei's hand tightly and looked around.He found a huge hollow tree not far away. The branches of that tree were huge and could move without wind.
Nagu looked far away, and suddenly found that the giant python had climbed up to the middle of the big tree, about five or six meters above the ground. Its color was similar to that of the tree trunk. If it wasn't for the abnormal movement just now, it might be difficult to find.
Xu Fei naturally noticed what Nagu noticed.It's just that he couldn't see such a long distance clearly, and he was startled when he heard the big man say that the snake was on the tree.Is there something wrong with this snake? Is it because the blood flow is too slow?Or is there something good in the tree that is worth risking its life to get?Anyway, it wasn't in the plan!
Xu Fei, who was still a little bit sure, looked at the giant python whose height was increasing from the ground, and felt troubled.Nagu didn't feel that there was any increase in difficulty, but climbing trees was easier for him. "Don't worry, proceed according to the original plan." Nagu rubbed Xu Fei's fur hat, took out the animal skin bag wrapped with sulfur stone powder from the back basket, and tied it on his arm.
Xu Fei looked at Nagu who was planning to climb up just like that, frowned and asked, "Are you going to climb up?" As a modern person with potential safety hazards, he couldn't imagine not taking any safety measures, just like that Those who climb the giant tree with bare hands, there is a python that can eat people on it.
"It's okay, I used to climb trees." When Nagu was a little boy, he often hid in the woods alone, looking for those straight, tall trees, climbed to the top of the tree and sat down. , look at the endless blue sky, and sometimes he is lucky enough to see a crow, only then, he feels free.
Having seen Nagu's previous skills, he also knew that this matter should be done sooner rather than later.The higher the python climbed, the harder it was to move. "Be careful", in the end Xu Fei still chose to let Nagu try, "You can't force it!"
Na Guchong smiled at Xu Fei, a little more confident in that smile, and then resolutely climbed up the tree next to the giant python....Well, he is not stupid, the tree the giant python climbed was originally a hollow tree, and if he went up again, what if the giant python tossed and the tree fell and he fell down with it?
Nagu climbed up a nearby tree nimbly, and disappeared from sight after a few swipes. His movements were much faster than that cumbersome boa constrictor.If Xu Fei had that good eyesight, maybe he would have wondered if Nagu had changed from a monkey.Nagu didn't look like he was climbing a tree at all. He swung directly from a short branch to a tall one. His movements were coherent and fast, as if performing acrobatics, making people want to applaud and sweat.
He quickly saw the tail of the giant python, and the beast climbed straight up regardless of the bloody wound.Nagu tightened the bag he was carrying and accelerated his climbing speed.The giant python was five to sixty meters long, and its tail alone was more than one meter thick.Nagu climbed for a while before he could see the head of the thing and the huge nest on the top of the tree.Nagu didn't think too much about it, he swiped a few times and climbed to the top of the python. It was estimated that the thing had seen Nagu, and raised its head to spit in Nagu's direction, hissing and threatening.A stench rushed straight to his forehead, making Nagu hold his breath unbearably.
Nagu sped up his movements, took off the sulfur powder he was carrying, and poured it towards the python's head and eyes.As soon as that thing met its own nemesis, its body twisted violently, and it also made a loud ho-ho noise, shaking Nagu so much that he almost couldn't hold the tree.Even so, it still wanted to climb up, but it didn't know whether it was for the nest above or for Nagu.
The giant python struggled too hard, and with a snap, the long part of the snake head fell directly onto Nagu's tree, causing Nagu to almost fall from the tree, thanks to the fact that he grabbed a wooden branch during the fall .It's a pity that he still muttered about the weight of the giant python, but after a while, the hollow tree over there fell to this side, and even the whole body of the python fell over. He fell down, and the two big trees were about to fall to the ground.
This big battle made the ground feel like an earthquake, Xu Fei worriedly looked at the two big trees shaking violently, wishing he could climb up to have a look.
Nagu accidentally fell down, and was lucky enough to be hung on a tree branch. Seeing that the two big trees were about to fall to the ground, he hurriedly climbed up to the next tree, and climbed as fast as he could. down.
So when the two trees fell, Nagu was no longer on the tree.But Xu Fei didn't know that when the tree fell, he rushed over in a hurry, regardless of whether the giant python was dead or alive.Thanks to being grabbed by Nagu on the way, he put away his worried expression, and checked Nagu's body, all of which were minor injuries.Then Xu Fei looked over there curiously to see if the giant python was dead.
That thing can break two big trees when it struggles, which shows how powerful it is, and this is still in the case of injuries.Nagu was naturally worried, and dragged Xu Fei behind him, also holding a sharp ax in his hand.
The winding body of the boa constrictor was coiled between two trees, this was the first time Xu Fei saw such a big boa constrictor.It took the two of them a long time to find the python's head. Although it was lying motionless on the ground, Nagu and the others felt that it would be safer to cut off its head.
The neck of the giant python is also more than one meter wide, which is considered thin.Nagu swung down the ax and it was still not broken. The boa constrictor must have woken up from the pain and struggled weakly, but it had already lost nine of its ten lives. The lower body is still trembling slightly.
When it was finally over, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.As soon as he relaxed, he could smell the aroma of the roasted meat next to him. The roasted meat that was covered in juice was completely useless, and Xu Fei felt sorry for the wasted large piece of roasted meat.He didn't want to eat the snake meat that had eaten people. Although the two were a little reluctant, they still threw the large piece of meat into the fire to prevent anyone from eating it by mistake.
"What is this?" Xu Fei looked curiously at the huge nest near the top of the tree, and it was only then that Nagu really noticed it, and the two walked to the nest curiously.Then, a chubby black-feathered chick (?) huddled in the center of the nest gave a pitiful "cheep" at Nagu.
Xu Fei: So the black-bone chickens in this world live on top of trees?Harvest a new ingredient.
Nagu: So little meat?What should I do if it is not enough for me and my wife to share?
Little Black Chicken: …
Baba and Mama come to save Wo, the eyes of these two people looking at Wo are so scary!What about the warrior who promised to defeat the bad snake!
Anyway, the little chubby chicken was taken back by the two with a look of disgust, and the two who reached a consensus decided to eat it when it was fattened up!
