The giant python seemed to be a guardian beast in this rift valley. It coiled up here and would not attack people unless humans actively caused trouble.
In any case, Lu Yuan and his group did not attempt to attack the giant python. If the python were to be hurt and start to fight back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan frowned. He looked around and then glanced down at his phone.
Finally, he decided to check the situation first. If it really was those people who discovered the giant python and attacked it, his first priority was to ensure that he wouldn't be affected by them.
So Lu Yuan drove his car toward the giant python's lair.
Because the vegetation was so lush, the road ahead was almost invisible; all that could be heard was the sound of gunfire growing ever closer in the distance.
When Lu Yuan finally arrived at a pebble beach, he emerged from the dense grass, opened the car door, and quietly climbed onto the roof to look into the distance.
Several hundred meters away on the distant grassland, dozens of vehicles of various sizes were parked.
The vehicles included military vehicles and ordinary civilian vehicles, and the number of people was as high as a thousand. Judging from their posture, they seemed to be attacking a huge monster.
Lu Yuan looked in the direction they were firing and saw a giant python, hundreds of meters long, entangled with a group of people in the distance. The group of people were driving around and shooting at the python's body.
The bullets from the vehicle-mounted machine gun poured down on the giant python's body like a tidal wave, but the python's scales possessed tremendous defensive capabilities.
The bullets hit the scales but caused no damage whatsoever.
The group panicked. They had angered the giant python, which was now relentlessly pursuing them. Fortunately, they made up their minds and began to fight the python.
The scene was chaotic, and Lu Yuan watched from a distance with his heart pounding.
These people are incredibly audacious. They have no idea what their situation is, yet they dare to attack these giant pythons. They're practically courting death.
Lu Yuan sighed, then watched as the giant pythons continued to pounce in their direction.
Cars were overturned on the ground by the giant python, and Lu Yuan glanced at the python and felt that it seemed different from before.
Then he looked into the distance again and saw a white snakeskin near the giant python's cave.
Lu Yuan then realized that the reason the giant python hadn't attacked them before was that it had just finished eating and didn't intend to attack them. Moreover, it seemed to be in the process of molting.
That's right. During the molting process, pythons eat a lot of food to replenish their energy, because the molting process takes a very long time, so they must ensure that their bodies have enough energy during this period.
"No wonder, now I see. This giant python isn't immune to attacking people; we just happened to be there by chance. I never expected we'd almost find it. Luckily, we didn't make a move!"
Lu Yuan sighed, glanced at the group of people in the distance, and could only silently mourn for them for a few seconds.
These people will probably be killed by this giant python. The bullets are no longer effective. It seems that these people are still eyeing his giant python. They are really courting death.
Lu Yuan didn't try to dissuade these people at all. Anyway, they didn't plan to associate with them. After all, it had been so many years since the apocalypse, who cared about whom anymore?
The car sped towards their camp, and as soon as they arrived, everyone surrounded them.
Zhou Tong looked anxiously at the situation in Lu Yuan's car before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"You didn't just go to the giant python's area, did you?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I was worried that those people would attract the giant python, so I went to check. Fortunately, the giant python was with those people and their vehicle, and they haven't discovered our presence yet, so we are at least safe now."
However, I'm worried that these people will rush over sooner or later. If they do, they'll definitely find us. I think we should move to a different location now and leave this area to them.
Otherwise, if the python catches up, we might get caught in the crossfire. After all, the python has just shed its skin! In such a weakened state, it will definitely eat voraciously, and humans will be its best prey!
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Chen Yan, standing to the side, suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! I was wondering why the giant python didn't attack us. It was shedding its skin and had already eaten its fill!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "That's right, if the giant python hadn't been full, we might have been in serious trouble that day!"
After everyone sighed in agreement, they began to plan where to retreat.
Lu Yuan then took out his computer and found the map they had drawn using the computer's webcam. After some testing, Lu Yuan finally identified a location.
That place was a riverbank on the edge of a lake. The riverbank was very wide and not covered with much vegetation.
However, wild animals often roam this area, only coming to drink some water, so it seems quite safe here.
