262 Chapter 262 Return

I heard the noise and saw him falling and shouted anxiously: "Wu Xie!"

When the fat man heard my shout, he knew something was wrong with Wu Xie. At this time, he had already run out for more than ten meters, but he was sprinting back like a hundred meters, and he was in front of Wu Xie in an instant. Grab his hand and pull him up.

But at this moment, there was only a flash of scales, and an extremely domineering force came over with the water. It was so powerful that the three of us lost our balance in an instant and fell down. Their little hands couldn't catch it. , my brother and I were also washed away by the waves, and we were fluttering helplessly in the water.

As soon as I took my hand away from my little brother, I felt extremely panicked. I was so anxious that I quickly turned over and fluttered a few times to look for him. Fortunately, he was not far from me. I still couldn't calm down. The waves of water rushed over with difficulty, and I helped him up. I held his face and looked at him. I said to myself, "It's okay. It's okay. It scared me to death..."

This female snake is as big as a big train, thick and long.It quickly used its huge python body to coil around us in the water. I think it means that it wants to trap us here so that we can be slaughtered by it. Then it is preparing to eat. Or is it because a few villains suddenly came and thought it was fun?Is it attracted by our movements, or is it induced by our thermal energy...

If it were normal, I would be scared to death when encountering such a huge monster like the snake mother. However, now I just keep thinking about how to escape from the snake mother's bloody mouth, but only if my brother is by my side. I won't panic, otherwise I'll probably get back to my original shape immediately.

The fat man instinctively pulled out the dagger, but it was obvious that the dagger was too small for the big snake teeth in the snake mother's bloody mouth, so the fat man had no choice but to give up.

Immediately afterwards, the huge python head of the mother snake poked into the water, and soon appeared in front of us. Its scales were as shiny as a mirror, and it was probably extremely hard. The snake was so strong that it looked more like a clawless snake. Qinglong, it is best not to have a head-on conflict with such a monster.

The fat man smiled bitterly and whispered: "That kettle was really swallowed by a snake and was just brought under the sand together, but it's too damn big. Even the four of us can't even use it as an appetizer."

I looked at the snake. It had surrounded our escape route. It would definitely not work if we charged directly. The snake seemed careless now, but if we really started to escape, it would definitely not let us go. What kind of handle would we use? It leads away...but what does it like and what attracts it...

Wu Xie and Fatty tried to swim out of the circle surrounded by the python body, but as soon as the giant snake moved, the water would surge, and the huge water pressure would disrupt the direction. They could not control their bodies at all. At this moment, we Like a fish trapped in a pond, unable to escape even if I want to, I have been observing where the breakthrough point is.

The fat man then picked up the gun, aimed at the snake's eyes, and fired twice.The giant snake moved its head twice, but there was no response at all, so the fat man had no choice but to throw away the gun.

Wu Xie said: "Don't waste your efforts. With this gun, you can still fight with all your strength when encountering that kind of double-scaled giant python, but this thing is too big. How can you fight it?"

I said: "It's best not to use force to scare it. We have no chance of winning. If we figure out what its intention is or what attracts it, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

The fat man shouted: "Then who knows what it is thinking, but elephants don't eat ants. We are too small, and it will not be so easy for him to eat us." Before he could finish speaking, the snake mother's head suddenly shrank, and she suddenly Then he bit him.

The mother snake is very ferocious and very fast. We were thrown out by the rising water waves. This time I can't let go of my brother no matter what, I must guard him.

I quickly stabilized my body and dragged my little brother up. I saw the fat man nearby and was fine. It seemed that he had not been bitten. Suddenly I heard Wu Xie shouting in the distance: "Fat man, Xiaoxun." The attack actually drove us far away from him.

The giant snake missed a hit, and became angry and twisted its body wildly, instantly forming a huge wave of water. We could only bend down and look at Wu Xie.

The fat man shouted at him: "Hide!"

He immediately swam behind the stone pillar on one side and finally climbed up. When he turned around, he saw that the snake had quietly reached in front of him and was staring directly at him.
I felt that the snake seemed to be very interested in Wu Xie and started to chase him closely. Wu Xie was already exhausted from swimming, but the snake was so big that it could reach over in one go. I felt that Wu Xie was very frightened. , I whispered: "Fat man, is there any difference between Wu Xie and us?" The fat man looked at me, then back at Wu Xie, and after a while I said, "Light."

The snake mother's huge scales were like countless mirrors, reflecting the mine lamp in Wu Xie's hand into a fantasy world of rose shadows. The fat man immediately understood what I meant.

At this moment, the giant python turned its head from time to time and looked at Wu Xie with its huge snake eyes. The distance between them was only two or three meters. Wu Xie was determined to die. He seemed to be prepared that the snake would attack him at any time, but again After waiting for a while, the snake still showed no signs of attack.

Wu Xie observed it and found that the snake seemed to be unable to eat anything. He thought about it and suddenly saw the miner's lamp shining on the snake, and he understood immediately.The miner's lamp is extremely bright. This snake here may not have seen any light for hundreds of years. Now it is blinded by this thing. Thinking of this, Wu Xie thought of a way.

I looked at Wu Xie in the distance. He slowly put the miner's lamp on the stone pillar on the side. It seemed that he had discovered the problem with the light and wanted to use the lamp to attract the snake's attention and take the opportunity to escape.

But he put the miner's lamp on the stone pillar many times, and it slipped down as soon as he put it down. Every time he failed, but he looked much calmer than before. The fat man quietly said to me: "You two hide first, I'll go Help little innocent."

I pointed him in the direction and said to him: "We'll go there in a while, be careful." The fat man nodded, which meant to reassure me.After I took my little brother to retreat away from here, the fat man began to swim quietly towards Wu Xie, and after a while he hid behind the python's head and gave him signs.Wu Xie was just wondering what to do when he saw the fat man gesturing to him. He thought the fat man was telling him to throw the miner's lamp over.

Wu Xie immediately took a deep breath and swung the miner's lamp hard, and saw a bright arc in the darkness flying past the snake's head like a shooting star. The miner's lamp swung towards the fat man, and the giant The python's eyes were attracted by the light, and he immediately turned his head. At this moment, Wu Xie dived into the water fiercely.

The python immediately swam after the light. Wu Xie didn't care anymore and swam away with all his strength. He didn't stick his head out until he was exhausted. But he found that he still hadn't swam too far. The python was right there. Behind him, there were still huge snake bodies lying around, but the big snake was moving quickly following the light and soon disappeared.

Not long after, he saw the fat man's water quickly breaking out from over there.Wu Xie asked him: "What's going on? Where are they?"

The fat man said: "I sank the miner's lamp into a hole, and that thing chased me down. They are in front, so hurry up. When it comes up again, we will be dead."

I took my little brother to wait for them on the road ahead. I held him with one arm and touched his little face with the other hand and asked him, "Brother, are you okay? Are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable..." But The little brother was still dumbfounded and didn't respond to any questions. He just followed me with his head down. He was quite well-behaved.

After waiting for a while, Wu Xie and Fatty caught their breath and followed them. I heard the noise and turned around to look over. Wu Xie and Fatty were fine, but their faces were pale. Before they came over, Fatty urged: "Come on, don't delay."

I said, "Follow me." Then I pulled my little brother and said to him, "Come on, let's go."

After experiencing this incident, Wu Xie was in a daze for a while. I took them all the way back to the entrance of the waterway and followed the stone wall to find the exit. They were already confused and felt that they all looked the same, but It's okay, I will take them back the way they came.

Six hours later we entered a water crossing. This time we had no food, so we had to continue on our way.

The fat man said: "I can rely on fat to support myself for one to two weeks without eating. The only discomfort is the first few days. I have experienced this kind of time, so I just have to endure it and it will be fine."

I told them: "I still have some sugar and a little water. If it doesn't work, just use this to hold on."

The fat man said: "We still have some wear and tear on our bodies, so don't worry about us. You are the only one here who is weak and thin. If you feel uncomfortable, just make up for it yourself. You hear me." I nodded.

Wu Xie said: "I now understand why Uncle San called this the "point of no return" when he came in this time. It's because the journey is too long. The food one person carries can't satisfy the entire round trip. He has already I foresaw the arduous journey back.”

The fat man chuckled and said, "Ginger is still old and hot, but our back wave is not bad either."

After that, we marched on empty stomachs in the channel. Walking up was much more tiring than walking down, so it was much slower than planned.

Two days later, they were unbearably hungry. I didn’t feel much at all. Maybe I didn’t eat much and my stomach was small. My head sometimes felt dizzy and painful. Wu Xie asked me to put the sugar in advance. Put it in a kettle and let it dissolve. If it makes me uncomfortable, I will take a sip.

They began to think about ways to find something edible here, but the food here was very limited. Wu Xie said: "The adventure manual says that when there is no food in the wild and you are not sure what to eat, eating bugs is the best way to do it." Insured.”

This is probably the purpose of my brother letting me eat a feast of insects before I came here, so that I wouldn't be too scared when encountering such a moment.

However, wild bugs must be different from specially raised food bugs. When I saw Fatty already looking for bugs in dry tree beams and gaps, I still felt...

There are very few bugs here. They brought the caught bugs in front of them and were about to taste them. The fat man pinched the thing and said, "The bugs here are so few and small that they can be used as melon seeds by grinding their teeth."

I still couldn't stand it and asked them: "Just eat it like this... Bake it, burn it and then eat it."

The fat man pinched the worm and said to me, "Have some."

I shook my head and refused, deciding to endure it for a while longer...
