Ma Qingqing was indeed walking back, but she wasn't planning on fighting the python; theoretically, she couldn't win anyway.
Not to mention that if this python is a mutated creature due to pollution, its combat power would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold. Even if it is just an ordinary python, such a large one could easily swallow me whole with its mouth wide open.
But right now, the python was just hanging on the tree, flicking its tongue, showing no sign of attacking. How could this not pique Ma Qingqing's curiosity?
Moreover, she had already experienced enough terrifying things today, and she was almost ready to risk everything, even death.
Despite thinking this, Ma Qingqing still clutched a handful of filling pills in her hand.
It took me more than ten seconds to run away, but it took me a full three minutes to walk back.
The giant, spotted python, as thick as a thigh, was right in front of us again.
"It probably doesn't intend to bite me," Ma Qingqing said, raising her hand to touch the spotted python. In fact, Ma Qingqing herself admired her own actions at that moment; she was truly reckless.
However, looking at the python's darting eyes, for some reason, Ma Qingqing only felt that it was cute and endearing, and she didn't feel scared at all.
As everyone held their breath, Ma Qingqing touched the python's head.
"Your hands are so hot."
Suddenly, the snake spoke.
"!!!"
Startled, Ma Qingqing quickly withdrew her hand, staring intently at the python in front of her, not daring to breathe.
What's going on?
Did the python speak?
Wasn't the creation of animal spirits banned thousands of years ago? Even though polluting beasts have roamed polluted areas for hundreds of years, none of them have ever become spirits or been able to speak.
The python ignored Ma Qingqing's surprise, shook its head, and said, "Not every python can speak more than a dozen animal languages like me, let alone a minor language like human language. So you should be very glad that you met me today."
"!!!"
When Ma Qingqing heard the python speak again, she was utterly astonished.
The key point is that this statement contains an astonishing amount of information.
First of all, it's not uncommon for pythons to talk. Every python can talk, but they speak different languages, just like humans had different languages like Chinese, English, German, French, Japanese, and so on thousands of years ago. Perhaps snakes also have their own languages, such as python language, water snake language, and grass snake language, and python language can be further subdivided, just like different regional dialects.
Then, some pythons, in addition to speaking python language, can also speak the languages of other animals. For example, the python in front of us claims to speak the languages of more than a dozen animals.
What surprised Ma Qingqing the most was that human languages are actually so-called minor languages.
Human languages are considered minor languages, so what languages are considered major languages?
However, one thing is certain: this python can not only speak human language and has an intelligence level that surpasses that of normal pythons and is even comparable to that of humans, but it is also harmless to Ma Qingqing.
The audience noticed this as well.
[Catch this python! It's a big one, it can fetch a high price!]
The key is being able to speak in plain language.
[Damn, there are so many good things in the polluted area, how come we're only discovering them now?]
[I thought that scorpion was weird when I first saw it, but I never imagined there would actually be animals that can talk. Could it be an alien creature?]
It's clearly a python, and it's definitely mutated.
[Damn, it just said it speaks more than a dozen languages.]
[This mutation is good; instead of becoming a cannibal, it makes one intelligent and docile.]
[Don't miss this, streamer! This one is clearly harmless.]
Would any private individual dare to buy such a large python?
[The genetics tycoon seems to be very interested in animals; he spent billions to buy a single mouse.]
I don't want one that's so big; I want the scorpion from before, it's cuter.
All I want is an ant.
I want an ant too; I love its adorable little eyes.
Don't you guys notice something's off about the contaminated area? Not only are there fewer contaminated animals, but we're also constantly encountering these bizarre creatures.
[It must be the effect of the satiety pills.]
The satiety pill is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It is the most beloved food of all living beings, including humans, without exception.
[The 50-cent party is really something else. Can't they stop just copying and pasting like that?]
[It might really be the effect of the satiating pills. That scorpion was clearly very dangerous at first, and it even bit the streamer. But it changed after eating the satiating pills.]
It bit that "being broke is a matter of life and death"
[I also think that's possible. The first wave of ants didn't eat any of the satiating pills, which means they were obviously already full. They might have eaten satiating pills beforehand.]
[A satiety pill isn't a smart pill, so how could it possibly make an animal smarter?]
The satiety pills are probably meant to stop these polluting beasts from being hungry and from thinking about eating people.
"Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. When animals are starving, they don't care about anything else. Once they've eaten a filling pill and are no longer hungry, their intelligence takes over."
The satiety pill is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It is the most beloved food of all living beings, including humans, without exception.
[Damn! Repeating it twice is one thing, but repeating it three times definitely raises suspicion of scamming.]
Is it essentially a repeater?
Ma Qingqing was already suspicious of the satiety pills, after all, she had personally witnessed the scorpion's transformation after consuming them. Although she didn't know what the python in front of her looked like before, she was certain it was harmless and intelligent now.
"Did you take some satiating pills?" Ma Qingqing asked bluntly.
When encountering someone different from yourself, and discovering that they can understand and speak your language, allowing for seamless communication, is, as the python said, absolutely a lucky thing.
Ma Qingqing is very fortunate now.
The python didn't answer Ma Qingqing's question directly, but instead asked, "Since this is our first meeting, shouldn't we introduce ourselves? My name is Aesop, which is a transliteration of snake language and means gentle and considerate."
Ma Qingqing was taken aback. Instead of immediately introducing herself, she asked, "Are you a man or a woman?"
“In your human language, I should be male,” Aesop replied.
"Oh~~~" Ma Qingqing suddenly realized.
Why are you here all alone?
Aesop seemed to have forgotten about the question Ma Qingqing had asked about the satiety pills, and the topic shifted elsewhere.
Ma Qingqing was also drawn in and recounted her story in detail how she originally lived in the quarantine zone, but was expelled here because she didn't have enough Sunshine Coins to pay the cabin fee.
Of course, the word "contaminated area" that was originally on the tip of my tongue eventually went through my mind and I didn't say it out loud.
After all, this is the place where a smart python lives. In essence, it is not only not polluted, but the environment is excellent. How can it be called a polluted area?
The "contaminated zone" is simply what humans call this large area infested with mutated animals that specifically attack humans.
