Chapter 58 Witnessing the Giant Snake Incident
The Gango River is the mother river of Gango Province and the second largest river in Afi.

On this river, there are many Afi people who have lived by the river for generations, making a living by fishing and shipping.

Blue is a Bigmay, but he's an urban Bigmay.

His father sent him to the school in the town to study since he was a child, and has been supporting him to go to high school in the city.

After failing the college entrance examination, he returned to the village and ran a boat with his father to help deliver goods to the villages and towns along the way.

Living in the city since he was a child made him used to the prosperity of the city. After returning to the village, he felt uncomfortable with everything.

He didn't look down on the villagers, he just thought they were ignorant and pitiful, including his father.

People in the village still maintain the ancient beliefs, and every household enshrines the statue of the giant snake Apepu, and pays homage to it in the morning and evening.

His father was particularly devout in worship, offering sacrifices to the giant serpent Apepu every time before running the boat.

Half of the money they earned from sailing each time had to be used to buy sacrifices and spices, which made Bruce very dissatisfied.

Since he was a child, he had heard his father tell various legends about the giant snake Apep, but he always sneered at it.

Having received modern education, he did not believe that there would be such a big snake in this world.

He told his father more than once that the largest snake that humans have discovered is the fossil of the Titan python, but even the Titan python cannot be as big as the giant snake Apepu.

With the oxygen content in the world today, it is impossible for the snake to grow to such a large size, and if there is a giant snake Apep, it is estimated that it has been discovered long ago.

The largest snake in the world is the anaconda in the Inca Republic. There is one in the Cairo Zoo. He saw it when he went to play with his classmates, but it is only seven or eight meters long, and the thickest part is only a lamppost. so thick.

The so-called giant snake Apep is nothing more than a fictional image that their ancestors saw a big snake by chance, and then passed it on and exaggerated it. It doesn't exist in the real world.

But every time his father didn't take his words seriously, instead he scolded him for being a fool when he went to school, and even lost his own beliefs.

Over time, he stopped arguing with his father about this topic, and he felt it was meaningless.

Tonight they once again pulled goods from Jinsha City on the upper reaches of the Gango River and shipped them downstream.

Before his father sailed, he made a special trip to a nearby temple and offered 1 Philippine coins to the giant snake Apepu for safety.

He couldn't help it, and complained again, thinking that his father was wasting money.

They have been running this river for more than ten years. Let alone Apepu, they have never seen even a larger boa constrictor. Why throw this money to the temple priests?
Wouldn't it be good to buy more goods with this money?
But his father scolded him again. In a fit of anger, he ran to the stern of the boat and hid alone, not talking to his father.

Going downstream is smooth flow. In order to save fuel, my father turned off the engine and let the boat be pushed downstream by the river.

In this way, although it saves fuel, it also increases the difficulty of sailing. You must always pay attention to adjust the direction to avoid the ship turning sideways.

Originally, he and his father changed shifts and sailed the boat. After the two of them changed shifts twice, they could reach the first big city downstream before dawn.

But tonight, Bruce is not going to change his father's shift. Who told him to throw all the money to that fat-fed priest?

He has money but doesn't make money, and he can't make sense of reason. If he insists on asking for trouble, then go ahead. He deserves it if he is exhausted!

Bruce sat in the stern and sulked. The boat was pushed by the river and moved downstream silently.

Without the interference of the engine, the river was calm, and the boat was like a fallen leaf floating on the river, floating with the flow of the river.

The boat sailed through a bend in the river, and Blue's father adjusted the direction of the bow, and the boat made an arc around the bend.

The water and grass in the river bend are lush, and the dewdrops on the grass blades are shining brightly, like pearls.

In the past, when driving through this bend in the river, I arrived at the place where Bruce and his father changed shifts.

Watching the calm river surface being broken up by the waves of the floating stern, making ripples, Bruce sighed, ready to get up and change shifts.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something flashing across the river.

He looked over vigilantly, but only saw a black shadow, which quickly submerged into the water.

It was a black shadow half the size of the boat, and it was obviously a living creature!

Bruce raised his vigilance, carefully watching the calm lake in front of the black shadow.

If it's a living thing that's moving, it's sure to reappear ahead.

He couldn't see the black shadow clearly, but judging by its size, it was probably a crocodile.

If it was really a crocodile, then he had to remind his father to start the engine and speed up to pass the bend.

Such a big crocodile, if provoked, can easily overturn this boat!
The moonlight shone down, illuminating the river surface, and Bruce lay on the side of the boat, staring at the river surface at the bend.

The full moon cast a reflection on the river, shaking with the water waves.

suddenly!A black shadow smashed through the reflection of the full moon in the water, meandering on the surface of the water, and soon submerged in the water.

Bruce's eyes widened instantly!
This time, he saw clearly!
That's not an alligator at all!
Judging from the scales and patterns on its body, it looks like a big snake!
But how can there be such a big snake? !

Visually, the diameter is more than two meters!

The anaconda he saw at Kailuo City Zoo was only [-] to [-] centimeters in diameter!

How can it be so big?

I must be wrong!

He quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at the water again, it was already calm.

Sure enough, I was wrong... Bruce breathed a sigh of relief.

Just say it!How could there be such a big snake in the world?

He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat.

He must have heard his father say that the giant snake Apep talked too much and had hallucinations.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light source behind him, most of the bright moonlight was blocked, and the deck quickly became pitch black.

A strong sense of crisis came from behind Bruce.

His heart seemed to have stopped beating, his breath was held for a moment, and Bruce turned his stiff neck and looked back.

A huge snake head protruded from the river, looking down at him!
The thick body with a diameter of more than two meters supported its flat head like a cattail fan, standing beside the stern.

On the neck, brown spots formed a circular pattern, like eyes, arranged vertically on both sides.

On the yellowish-brown abdomen, mud and aquatic plants are sandwiched in rings and stripes, which are clearly visible.

Black scales are densely packed all over the body.

On the huge snake's head, a pair of vertical pupils without a trace of emotion stared at Bruce, and the black letter spit out from the mouth, exuding a strong stench.

"what!!!!!!"

Bruce's screams floated on the quiet river, and drifted far, far away with the night wind.

……

The next day, a rumor quickly spread in the coastal cities of Gango province.

The legendary serpent Apep appears!
