Chapter 409 Python
She stared at the sunlight for a while, until her eyes could no longer bear the dazzle. Then she looked away and rubbed her eyes frantically.
At the same time, she quickly took off her down jacket, the woolen sweater underneath, and the thermal underwear underneath.
"It's so hot, so hot, I'm dying of heat!"
The temperature in the rainforest is probably around 20 to 30 degrees.
The temperature of the snow-capped mountains outside the temple is more than thirty degrees below zero.
The temperature change of nearly sixty degrees made Sun Xiaoqing sweat all over.
If Sun Xiaoqing didn't have a good physique and exercise regularly, this sudden temperature change would probably cause her health problems.
Even so, Sun Xiaoqing felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was a problem with the rainforest or the temperature change.
Since Li Qiao has a puppet body, her behavior is quite normal.
She raised her hand to feel the sunshine here, and said to Sun Xiaoqing in surprise:
"Isn't it true that here, like in a small town, the sunshine is fake?"
There is also a sun in the town, but it looks fake. If you stare at the sun for a longer time, you can see that it is just a large light bulb hanging in the sky.
But Li Qiao couldn't tell whether the sunlight here was real or fake.
Anyway, she stared at it for a while and it seemed very real.
After Li Qiao's reminder, Sun Xiaoqing also thought of this.
She fanned herself with her hand to cool herself down, then held out her other hand in the sun and said:
"It doesn't seem fake. The sunlight in the small town doesn't give me such a natural feeling."
"But if the sun here is real, then where exactly is this place..."
“Aaaaaa——!!”
Li Qiao couldn't ask the question.
Her voice was interrupted by a burst of rapid screams.
The scream came from deep in the jungle and sounded like a female voice. Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Is there anyone else here? "I'll go check it out, you wait here."
Without hesitating for too long, Li Qiao asked Sun Xiaoqing to wait here while he used his lightness skills to fly to a distant branch.
Although the body that Li Qi made for Li Qiao was not made of flesh and blood, it could realize the operation of "energy" in another way.
It is not difficult to imitate acquired energy. When Li Qi regains his mastery of alchemy, he can create an alternative energy circuit in the body of the android.
Relying on these, Li Qiao now possesses the strength equivalent to that of an eighth-grade acquired warrior.
Combined with the mechanical props from Qiqiao Villa that Li Qi prepared for her, Li Qiao can fight even if she meets someone who has just entered the innate realm.
Not to mention that there are no innate warriors in this world.
Li Qiao, who has a puppet body, acquired martial arts skills and is not afraid of death, is the best candidate to explore the rainforest.
In order to avoid the scream being a trap, Li Qiao took the initiative to come over to investigate.
Li Qiao's body moved among the branches like a flying swallow, and soon he arrived at the location where the scream came from.
Then, standing on the tree, she saw a group of...explorers fleeing for their lives.
They were truly a group of explorers. They were wearing the brown exploration suits that you often see on TV, and they were carrying backpacks full of various tools on their backs.
Beside them, there was a group of mercenaries armed with weapons, but at this moment the weapons in their hands had turned into fire sticks. Except for melee weapons, any hot weapons had lost their effectiveness.
And behind them, a python was chasing.
The python is more than ten meters long and more than two meters thick. It is green in color and has fangs in its mouth that emit purple venom.
It traveled through the rainforest, crushing and knocking down grass and trees wherever it passed, demonstrating its powerful strength.
Being chased by such a monster, a group of people ran around in front like chickens being chased away.
The one who screamed the most miserably was a white woman with long wavy golden hair. She was wearing a white coat similar to that of an experimenter. She ran forward without looking back, screaming as she ran.
She was obviously the fastest runner among everyone, but from the sound of her screams, it sounded like she was about to be eaten.
"NO! Paul!!!"
Just as several people were running wildly, the black man who was running at the end was caught up by the giant python.
The python didn't even use strangulation. It just opened its big mouth and swallowed the black man whole into its stomach.
The scene was so scary that even Li Qiao couldn't help but shiver.
Her current strength is only at the eighth level. Even if she can be comparable to the innate level, she should not be able to deal with this giant python that is like a demonized warrior.
But fortunately, Li Qiao had something else in her hand.
"I hope the 'insect repellent powder' my brother gave me is useful."
Li Qiao turned his left hand into a mechanical nozzle and mobilized the insect repellent powder bullets in his body, aiming at the python not far away and sprayed it three times in a row!
Bang, bang, bang! Three bullets were ejected and landed accurately on the python's head.
Immediately afterwards, three bullets exploded one after another, and dark brown smoke enveloped the python in the blink of an eye.
"ha!!!"
The python made a sound like a cat breathing, stopped chasing, and twisted its body wildly on the ground.
Li Qiao stared at the python nervously. After a few seconds, she saw the python rolled on the ground as if it had encountered something disgusting, and quickly ran away at a speed faster than before, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Huh...it seems like the quality of your stuff is still guaranteed."
After turning his left phone back into the shape of an arm, Li Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What Li Qiao fired just now was the 'insect repellent powder' specially made by Li Qi. Although it is called 'insect repellent powder', in fact, flying birds, poisonous insects, rats, pythons and so on are all within its repelling range.
Generally speaking, if you are in a rain forest where there are a lot of these insects, a small dose can ensure that no insects will approach you for a whole night.
A full dose of pellets can ensure that no ferocious beasts will get close.
Just now, Li Qiao threw three bullets directly in order to save people.
This is like throwing three pots of feces on a person's head. It is so disgusting that he would never think of continuing to chase someone.
The python turned around and ran away. The mercenaries and explorers who were fleeing below also stopped. They looked up and saw Li Qiao standing on the tree, and then they excitedly said a lot of words that Li Qiao couldn't understand.
Li Qiao doesn't understand English, but it doesn't matter, because Sun Xiaoqing does.
So she looked at a few people, remembered the location, turned around and left without saying a word.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just over ten minutes later, Li Qiao brought Sun Xiaoqing back here.
Then through Sun Xiaoqing's conversation with them, Li Qiao learned their identities.
"They said... they were an exploration team sent by the Abnormal Management Bureau to search for ancient ruins..."
Sun Xiaoqing first explained to Li Qiao, but slowly, as she listened to those people talking, her expression became very surprised and she stopped translating.
Seeing this, Li Qiao asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Li Qiao also knew about the Alien Management Bureau, but the problem was that the Alien Management Bureau alone should not have surprised Sun Xiaoqing so much.
Sun Xiaoqing opened her mouth for a long time before she said to Li Qiao:
"They said... they came in in August, and today... is the fifth day since they came in..."
"?"
August, the fifth day? Li Qiao's eyes widened.
If these people weren't lying, then that meant that the speed of time here was different from that outside? Then the two of them had been here for less than an hour, so how much time had passed outside?! ...
"Meng An! Don't be so impulsive next time!"
In the 057th Bureau, Zhao Hong, who had been busy for the entire night and finally dealt with Li Qi's affairs, said to Li Qi very tiredly.
Just a few hours ago, Li Qi personally went to the team members' living area on the 24th floor and taught those guys who bullied Xu Leying and others a lesson.
Before this incident happened, Li Qi did not report it to his superiors, nor did he ask Zhao Hong for help.
He was alone, and single-handedly beat down all the people holding rare objects, and then took away their rare objects.
After learning about this, Zhao Hong was really confused.
They had just reported Li Qi's identity as the "class monitor" when Li Qi did this to them.
If this matter were known to the higher-ups, Li Qi would definitely be punished for being "unorganized and undisciplined."
It would be difficult for him to even become the monitor of the Junior Class... Oh no, the Hidden Dragon Class, let alone join the Exploration Team.
Zhao Hong finally contacted Director Li to suppress the matter, but Li Qi refused to return the rare items to the owner no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hong sighed and said, "I will return the treasure later and apologize to the owner..."
"I refuse."
"Meng An! I know what happened, but they only said some harsh words to Xu Leying and Yi Cheng, and didn't hit anyone! What you did... is really a bit too much!"
Zhao Hong also understood what happened.
It was nothing more than those team members sexually harassing and insulting Li Qi's female teammates.
But they just talked and did nothing.
However, Li Qi directly hit people, which is of a different nature.
Seeing Zhao Hong's angry look, Li Qi was calm instead. He even laughed and said, "Then what? I've already beaten him up, what else do you want me to do? Apologize? Do you think I will apologize?"
“…”
Li Qi's question made Zhao Hong silent for a moment.
Without waiting for him to say anything, Li Qi continued, "To be honest, I doubt your professionalism now. I also know that in order to recruit civilians with rare items as quickly as possible, you don't have time to train them, but even so, you shouldn't accept everyone.
"If someone doesn't even respect his colleagues, how can you expect them to respect Bureau 057? He is nothing more than a bully."
"But they..."
"Don't use the price of the item as an excuse. I'm tired of hearing that excuse.
"In short, if you want to punish me, that's up to you, but if you want me to apologize, that's impossible. I'm even saying this: if I run into them bullying people again in the future, don't blame me for beating them up again."
Li Qi thought that his personality had become very restrained.
If this happened in the previous worlds, even if he didn't want to kill them, he would at least make them lose limbs as a lesson.
Precisely because this world is too similar to Earth, Li Qi abides by Chinese laws to a certain extent.
But this does not mean that he must obey official orders.
