The five members of the Chinese team immediately fell silent.
There was a sound of friction on the ground, and in the dark space, only Jiang Wan's flashlight was still emitting light.
The sounds of swallowing saliva could be heard one after another.
The five people all looked at the huge creature at the cave entrance in front of them.
Its body is as thick as a water tank, with blue-gray patterns all over it, and its length cannot be told at a glance.
The two black and red eyes on the huge head never blinked, and there seemed to be two small bumps on the forehead.
"Hiss~"
The giant python's tongue was as big as an arm, and it made a terrifying sound when it swallowed and spit out words. It stared coldly at the Chinese team, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
"What the hell is this..."
Shi Haoyu couldn't help but chatter his teeth, and his voice was shaking.
"Shut up..."
Jiang Wan squeezed out these words from between her teeth. This kid must have been a crow in his previous life. How could he say whatever he wanted?
"Turn off the flashlight and get down."
Qi'an's voice rang in his ears. Jiang Wan quickly turned off the flashlight. The five of them squatted in a row in the corner, not daring to breathe.
"Hiss?"
For no reason, Jiang Wan actually heard some doubt in the two hissing sounds.
Now the entire tomb is pitch black, with only the infrared light on the drone camera emitting a faint red glow.
Then there was a loud bang, and the giant python attacked the drone straight away!
The guy controlling the drone was so scared that the joystick almost broke. He hurriedly controlled the drone to take off and barely avoided the attacking python.
[Oh my god, my heart almost stopped. At that moment, I thought it was going to jump out of my screen!]
[I'm so scared! I'm so scared! What the hell is this?! ]
[Stop shaking, ugh—I’m going to vomit! ]
[I wonder how much psychological trauma the drone guy has endured. He must have collapsed from fear.]
[Here's a suggestion for Haoyu to shut up and lock his tongue. He should just stop talking. Whatever he says comes true, what a poor kid!]
The drone guy had already raised the altitude to the highest point, but the height of the tomb was not very high. The giant python was long and had strong jumping ability, and it almost hit the drone several times.
"Follow my instructions, turn left! To the cave entrance!"
When the drone guy heard Jiang Wan's words, he didn't care about anything else and flew directly to the cave entrance.
If you want to blame someone, blame the organizing committee for being too stingy. If the drone breaks, you have to pay for it yourself! It’s so expensive!
Moreover, if I lose contact with the Chinese team because I broke the drone, I will be held responsible if something really happens!
"There's a stone pillar not far from the cave entrance. Circle around it, but don't go too fast!"
Jiang Wan now understood that this python was probably interested in light, was strong and had little intelligence.
The drone guy listened to Jiang Wan's instructions, and the joystick in his hand was almost shaking to the point of double, circling around the stone pillar continuously.
There was only a little red light in the giant python's eyes, and it quickly wrapped itself around the stone pillar.
“Hiss, hiss!”
The python's tongue was straining, pushing towards the drone, but now it was completely entangled in the pillar and couldn't move.
Jiang Wan then turned on the flashlight with confidence, and the huge monster in front of him appeared in front of everyone.
It was so long that it completely wrapped around the entire stone pillar.
Seeing that the danger was over, the drone guy was completely relieved and shook his head left and right at the python's head.
It seemed as if it was saying: Come and hit me~ Come and hit me~
Python: ???
Netizens burst into laughter.
[Hahahaha, this drone guy is so naughty! ]
[This big, stupid guy doesn't seem very smart. He got himself into trouble in a few seconds.]
[If we don't say our Master Wan is clever, we should admire this little brain! ]
[Look at how angry the snake is, it's almost emitting sparks! ]
Several people watched the naughty drone and the angry python in amazement.
"Oh my god, what does this thing eat to grow? Fertilizer?"
Chu Mengqi tilted her head back and murmured.
Pray for timely popularization of science:
"Tomb-guarding snakes usually live near tombs, feeding on carrion and insects. They live underground year-round. Their eyes can only see light and nothing else, but their sense of smell and hearing are very well developed.
They are long and tough, but have little interest in living people and generally won't attack. Many primitive tribes like to keep a few of them in their mausoleums, mainly to scare people."
Shen Yunfei looked at the two black and red eyes of the tomb-guarding snake:
"Can only see light? Then what are its two eyes for?"
Jiang Wan touched his chin and said, "Maybe it's for decoration. It looks cooler this way."
Qi'an nodded:
"It's for decoration. See those two bumps on the top of its head? The actual light-sensing part is the antennae. It has nothing to do with the eyes."
Shen Yunfei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
This thing looks so chic.
Chu Mengqi asked curiously, "So it didn't attack us when it first saw us, because it doesn't like living people?"
Qi'an nodded. "Yes, it is said that tomb-guarding snakes find human flesh unpalatable and only eat carrion and insects."
Jiang Wan carefully observed the tomb-guarding snake and confirmed that it would not be able to untie itself for a while, so she simply sat down on the ground.
"Take a break. I'm tired."
I still feel a slight discomfort in my heart, probably because the medicine hasn't taken effect yet.
Qi'an took out a few bottles of water from his backpack and distributed them to everyone. Then everyone rested not far from the tomb-guarding snake.
Shi Haoyu gulped down half a bottle of water:
"I guess netizens must be wondering why we don't leave quickly."
Chen Yunfei ruthlessly sabotaged the situation: "If you want to ask something, just ask directly. There's no need to bring up netizens. You're such a scoundrel."
Shi Haoyu choked for a moment and wanted to refute, but he was in the wrong, so he could only mutter softly:
"I don't know why it happened so coincidentally... I'm really innocent..."
Jiang Wan wiped her mouth, bent one leg, and placed one arm on her knee, looking more relaxed and at ease.
"This snake doesn't eat people, so why is it running away? Besides, Qi'an said that this creature has a very developed sense of smell and hearing. It's obvious that this underground is its territory. If it really wants to run, where can it go?"
"Actually, what Haoyu said is right. I did want to ask, but I'm scared just looking at this thing. How do they manage to rest so calmly?"
The national team is the national team. With such a strong heart, they've come a long way, through piles of bones, swarms of insects, and now tomb-guarding snakes. If it were me, I'd have been paralyzed by fear.
[Honestly, compared to that, I actually think the pile of bones is pretty cool. At least it doesn't bite or move.]
【If it really moves, it will be a sure kill! 】
After resting for a while, everyone recovered some of their strength and were about to get up to continue looking for an exit.
Shi Haoyu glanced at the tomb-guarding snake and said with some fear:
"Luckily this stone pillar is strong enough, otherwise this thing coming down from above would be really creepy."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard.
"Crack..."
