Chapter 34: There's a snake! There's a snake!
Despite all the calculations, Ah Shu overlooked the fact that this team was composed entirely of minors.
They don't have much assets...
She stood by the car for a long time, listening to the six men counting money.
I feel so overwhelmed and this trip is a complete waste of effort.
"Oh my god, how much does a wild boar cost? Oh, I still have over a hundred yuan in pocket money. Let me count the bills."
"I remember! I think I have a new five-hundred-dollar bill! It's the money my mother gave me as a gift. Let me find it!"
"Sister, this coin of mine is made of jade, right? Can I exchange it for a pig? Okay, a pig's tail is fine too."
Ah Shu felt a little impatient after hearing them shouting for a long time but still unable to make a few words.
She knocked on the car window: "Whatever you have, it's fine. Hurry up, I have something else to do."
Fang Ruoke was afraid of bringing bad luck to the boss, so she had to open the car door.
She was holding a small cloth bag in her hand and had an embarrassed look on her face.
His eyes evaded as he asked, "We only have less than a thousand yuan. Can we buy you half a pig?"
That wild boar weighed at least 300 to 500 kilograms, and what they could offer was simply too little...
Under normal circumstances, Ah Shu would have turned around and left without even a glance.
But now she was in a hurry to leave, and there were no other wealthy buyers around who could take the pig away.
Ah Shu's eyes fell on the cloth bag and he found that it was actually a cross-body bag. It was a light blue with several irregular decorations painted on it with dark blue paint.
She remembered that Xinxue had a light blue dress, which seemed to go well with this small bag.
Thinking of this, Ashu took the small cloth bag and hung it on his body.
He threw the dying wild boar onto the ground, making a heavy thud. “I’m too lazy to split it up. I’ll give you the whole thing.”
After a moment's thought, she added, "The Python King is still active nearby. It's going to be a rough night. Don't linger here. Leave now."
As soon as these minors leave, she will start her performance.
Ah Shu moved his wrists and ankles twice, and the joints made a crackling sound.
She bent down, put her hands on the ground, and made a posture ready to run. She pushed her feet hard and left with the wind.
Fang Ruoke was ready to bargain and was prepared to ask for more meat.
I didn't expect that woman to be so easy to talk to. The whole thing belonged to me.
She felt a little confused for a moment. The elders said that the people living in the base were all demons who ate people without leaving any bones.
Now the devil is showing kindness?
She stood there and looked for a long time. "Is it the lighting? The person's hair blown by the wind seems to be green..."
Muttering to himself, Fang Ruoke averted his gaze.
She turned around and faced her friends who were huddled against the car window, looking confused about the situation, and narrowed her eyes.
He waved happily at his friends, "That kind man has accepted our offer. Put away your weapons and divination coins, and come down to move the pigs!"
A Shu put the transaction behind him, looked at the position of the moon, and felt that it was getting late.
She thought to herself, "I hope everyone in the first team doesn't fall asleep, otherwise who will see my performance?"
While running quickly in the woods, it turned back into a snake-like shape similar to that of a human, and then gradually grew larger, returning to its most gigantic form, with the upper half of its human body turning into a snake head.
The field of vision became higher and farther, and it felt like breathing became much easier and more comfortable.
A Shu was in the forest on the hillside a few kilometers away from the convoy, just visible at a glance.
She swam quickly on her snake belly and deliberately broke many dry branches, causing the sound of branches breaking and crackling to be heard around her.
This alone would be a bit boring, so in order to make the performance more realistic, she followed the smell and found an evolved fox hiding and sleeping here.
Ah Shu chased it like a cat playing with a mouse.
Sometimes it would speed up, scaring it so much that its hair stood up, making it look like a ball of reddish-brown fur.
Sometimes he slowed down, pretending to be exhausted and falling behind.
When the fox breathed a sigh of relief, it suddenly appeared very close to it, staring at it with its huge eyes with evil intentions.
Ah Shu was just worrying too much. Ever since the wild boar's howl, the entire convoy had been on alert.
Later, the sound disappeared, and everyone finally fell asleep in a daze. But before they could fall asleep, they heard the strange sound again.
To reassure the team, Lu Erya's voice kept appearing over the radio: "It seems like there's another situation. Everyone, be prepared and observe. If there's any danger, we'll leave immediately."
She was prepared to travel at night, even though the dangers of traveling at night were immeasurable.
Xinxue was naturally familiar with the sound of snake scales sliding across.
She knew it was Ah Shu who was taking action, and when she heard everyone's nervous voices, she felt excited and guilty.
She waited silently, waiting for the moment when someone would see the giant snake.
When people have expectations, time seems to pass very slowly.
The air seemed to be completely stagnant, making people feel stuffy.
Suddenly, a voice, whose origin was unclear, came over the radio, trembling and crackling: "There's a snake! There's a snake! I saw it! There's a giant snake in the forest at three o'clock!"
All of a sudden, the entire convoy of vehicles seemed to be shaking.
Everyone couldn't wait to lie down in a direction with a better view and looked in that direction at the same time.
In order to follow the trend, the new snow also made noise.
She saw a dark shadow appearing and circling in the dim forest.
The speed of the snake's tail sliding was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes quick, sometimes sudden, as if it was dancing a dance with strange rhythm.
It was rare to see Ah Shu's complete snake form from such a perspective. Xin Xue's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but recall how she looked when she first met Ah Shu.
After being together for so long, Ah Shu's warmth and gentleness have permeated all aspects of my life.
Xinxue thought she had seen everything about Ah Shu.
Being hooked by the snake's tail every day, surprises have become a daily routine, and I no longer feel that the fact that she is a snake is as exciting as before.
But she was wrong, completely wrong.
Just seeing the giant snake charging and running rampant in the forest, so powerful and majestic.
Xinxue's body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
"What should we do? Should we run away? Oh my God, I'm going to die today and be eaten alive by the python!"
"Captain, Captain! Captain, tell me, should we stay or leave?"
"Don't get excited, close the car door!"
Lu Erya would never have thought that the Python King would appear on the edge of the territory. If it was another threat, she could still divert her attention to comfort everyone.
But in the face of absolute power, her entire brain became numb, and she felt that life had become meaningless. It would have been better for her to die with him a few years earlier.
Now they can neither leave nor stay.
No one can guarantee that the sound and light emitted when the car starts will attract the python king.
After comforting the team members, her mind went blank for a while.
Only then could he turn to look at Lu Cai: "What should we do?"
Lu Cai's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could break a pencil.
Her mind uncontrollably imagined herself being swallowed alive by a giant snake, with only bones and blood left as the tragic scene.
Then, frightened by his own fantasy, his face turned pale, his hands and feet cold: "Observe again, the python king crawls too fast, the convoy can't escape even if it escapes..."
The noisy sound on the radio has proved that the first team is afraid of the giant python.
Xinxue realized that Lu Erya had been silent for a long time to maintain order.
This is not a good thing.
For the first time, she took the initiative to open the team broadcast, cleared her throat and said, "I think I saw a dark shadow scurrying in front of the snake. It must be catching its prey now.
Everyone, please try not to make any noise and never start the car to attract her attention."
In fact, with her eyesight, she couldn't see clearly what was happening so far away in the dark.
But she is familiar with Ah Shu...
Before, when they were in the gym, whenever Xiaobai did something that made Ah Shu unhappy, she would move around like a snake, sometimes fast and sometimes slow to tease Xiaobai.
He wouldn't stop until she was frightened to the point of paralysis or fainting.
Hearing this, the leaderless convoy seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
The teammates whose vision had evolved observed attentively for a long time.
“It seems that a small black dot can be seen running in front of the Python King.
Oh my god, did it break the law? It’s so small that it can’t even fill the gaps between a python’s teeth…”
The voice finally stopped trembling, confirming Xinxue's words and making the team members more convinced.
Lu Erya's voice finally emerged: "They should be playing. According to observation records, this snake seems to have just entered its estrus period this year. It was still a cub before..."
In the era of evolution, each individual organism has the potential to develop in a different direction.
Humans have no way of estimating the age of evolved species and can only calculate it based on whether they show signs of estrus.
Yuan Ling also spoke to comfort them, "It's probably just blowing off steam late at night. This python king has no record of eating people, only attacking. Everyone, please check the seals on your car doors and windows. Snakes seem to be very sensitive to smells..."
For a moment, the entire convoy was in panic, but they could only comfort each other with words and pray in their hearts.
Xinxue had anticipated that her teammates had never seen a giant snake before, and the visual impact would scare everyone out of their wits.
She had warned Ah Shu in advance not to overact and just to act for a short while.
Never, ever, do anything like suddenly rushing towards the convoy or passing by with your belly close to the road.
She was also afraid that in a panic some of her teammates would fire at the Python King and injure Ah Shu.
That was a scene she absolutely didn't want to see.
A Shu immersed himself in chasing the evolved fox for a while, and felt that he was getting closer and closer to the convoy. If he got any closer, he would definitely scare them, so he retracted his snake tail in time.
Turning back, we headed towards the rolling mountains and disappeared into the layers of trees.
For a moment, countless people in the convoy cried with joy.
"The Python Queen is gone! She's heading in a different direction than us! Great!"
"Really? You're sure you saw it! Great, we can still survive!"
Lu Erya also leaned on the car window and looked for a long time, making sure that no more trees were knocked down over there, and the eerie and terrifying crawling sound was getting smaller and smaller.
She turned on the radio again: "The Python King is really gone. She has no interest in us. That's great!
It's getting late, everyone, get some rest. We'll leave at dawn tomorrow and escape this territory as quickly as possible!"
But the radios in the cars were still on, and several cars only had one person in them.
After the emotional shock, hearing other people's voices and feeling their company is a life-saving medicine for them.
There was only Xinxue, and she silently turned off the radio.
I looked up at the distance where darkness mixed with deep blue, waiting for Ah Shu to come back.
