Gulp!
I swallowed hard, and widened my eyes in disbelief - what on earth is this?
Apart from anything else, just this pair of eyes is scary enough!
I slowly shone the flashlight into the dark environment, and didn't dare to shine the strong light on the thing all at once, for fear of startling it and letting it come up and kill me directly, but even so I still vaguely saw its outline, and immediately swallowed hard!
This is a snake!!
A very big snake, I swear I have never seen such a big snake in my fucking life, more than ten meters long, almost as thick as an adult man's thigh, all black, as if it was poured with molten iron, full of power, and the eyes are more like two red lanterns, not to mention how scary!
At this time, Zhang Bowen and the other three also turned their heads to see the situation clearly, and immediately gasped!
"Oh my god!"
Lv Yike took a deep breath: "This... seems to be a black witch snake!"
I was stunned after hearing this, and immediately frowned slightly.
Black witch snake...
I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing!
This black witch snake is not the black-lined black snake mentioned in the south, but a kind of snake that the mountain people in the mountainous areas of Shanxi have passed down by word of mouth!
I have actually seen the legend of the black witch snake in a book. The book said that there was a nation in Shanxi that used snakes as totems thousands of years ago. They always said that their nation was the descendants of Fuxi. This small tribe had only a few thousand people. Later, it was destroyed in the war of the three families dividing Jin. The specific name of this small tribe is now unknown. The events before Christ are too far away from now, and countless nations have disappeared, but the totem worshipped by this nation has been passed down. Their totem is the black witch snake!
This belief and reverence for totems has been passed down in the blood of the mountain people in Shanxi, so the mountain people here have always had a deep fear of the black witch snake!
There is even a legend about the horror of the black witch snake - it is said that people who have been bitten by the black witch snake will die if they cannot walk three steps!
It's a pity that this kind of snake has only existed in word of mouth and has never appeared in reality, but I think the things worshipped by the ancient ancestors must have a basis. This black witch snake may really exist in history, but just like the ancient Chinese 鸩鸟, the species has become extinct, so people think it is just a myth.
Now when Lu Yike said that this is a black witch snake, it really scared me, so I couldn't help but stare at this big snake. It doesn't matter if I look at it, I found that this big snake really fits the characteristics of the legendary black witch snake!
Run?
That's definitely nonsense. People who know snakes know that although this thing is a reptile, its speed is not slow at all. Even if it is dozens of meters away, it will be difficult for you to run away if it is targeted. It is best to run in a curve when running. If you run in a straight line, it will be caught up in a short time.
According to the distance we are at now, as long as there is a slight movement, the snake will definitely kill one of us instantly! !
So I stood there and didn't dare to move at all. The black witch snake seemed to be confirming whether we are easy to mess with, and didn't rush up directly. Taking advantage of this gap, I turned my head to look at Zhang Bowen and found that this guy's forehead was already sweating and seemed to be very nervous, so I lowered my voice and asked: "Brother Zhang, you are good at dealing with this thing, think of a trick!"
Zhang Bowen glared at me fiercely and said to me with his mouth: "Do you think I am a god of war? Now we can't run away, and we can't fight. We can only act. It's a risky move!"
After a pause, Zhang Bowen continued, "Hold your knives and listen to me. As soon as I give the order, you should immediately lie down with your hands on your head. Even if that thing runs over to eat you, you can't move. When we encounter such a big thing, we can only gamble our lives! Living is luck, and dying is fate! Do you understand?"
Hearing Zhang Bowen say this, I gritted my teeth and nodded in agreement. Now I can only listen to Zhang Bowen.
Who knew that when I was thinking about it secretly, Zhang Bowen suddenly yelled, "Lie down!"
This scared me a lot. Looking at Zhang Bowen, Zhou Jing and Lu Yike, they were already lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, holding a small dagger and pretending to be dead...
At this time, the movement on our side might have alarmed the black witch snake. I only heard a series of rustling sounds in the darkness ahead. It was obviously the big snake moving. I was almost scared to death at that time. I quickly pulled out the Baipi knife and lay on the ground with my head in my hands.
Swish...
Swish...
A series of unpleasant friction sounds came. I knew that this sound was made by the big python when it swam on the ground. I don't know how many years this thing has lived. The scales on its body are scary thick, almost like iron sheets. The sound it makes when swimming on the ground is harsh and loud, and it makes people's scalps numb just by listening to it.
A stinking fishy smell suddenly hit my nose, choking me so much that I almost coughed. I looked up and saw that the black witch snake had already swam towards me. It looked like it had picked me!
I was a little panicked and turned to look at Zhang Bowen. He kept winking at me. We had worked together for a while and were very familiar with each other. As soon as I saw the look he gave me, I knew that Zhang Bowen wanted me to stay still. I immediately began to curse this bastard in my heart. The black witch snake was not coming for you. You are not afraid, but I am afraid!
At this time, the black witch snake had already come up and was swimming closely against my body. I could even feel the cold touch of its scales, especially when those scales rubbed against my face, it made my cheeks hurt and hot, and it was obvious that my skin was broken. I really don't know how this black witch snake grew so big. The scales alone are powerful enough. I guess it would be able to peel off a layer of flesh when it rubbed against human skin. I guess if this thing grows a few more years, it might become a spirit. It is said that this black witch snake has the bloodline of the legendary dragon. Once it becomes a spirit, it will turn into a dragon, which is more difficult to deal with than the drought demon. When it opens its mouth, the birds and beasts in the mountains will obediently go into its mouth to be its food. If a folk snake can do this, it has basically turned into a dragon, and has "entered the law", which means it has magic power, and is much more powerful than the Tai Sui I killed. It's just that this thing has never appeared since ancient times, there is just this kind of legend!
Strangely, when the black witch snake's big head came close to me, it didn't bite me, but swam directly to my feet, sticking to my body. I was shocked and suddenly remembered some videos of giant pythons swallowing people alive that I had seen on the computer before. It seems that the giant pythons in those videos eat people from the feet, because compared with the upper body, the lower body is more slender and easier to swallow. It is safer to swallow the lower body first!
This giant python came up behind me, could it be...
Sure enough, I soon felt my legs being held in the mouth of the black witch snake, there was no temperature, it was sticky and the fishy smell was even more pungent, at least I felt nauseous enough, I almost vomited directly, but the black witch snake slid up with its big mouth against my legs, clearly wanting to swallow me alive, but fortunately the black witch snake's big mouth didn't bite down during this process, so I didn't feel any pain.
In a blink of an eye, my thighs had all fallen into its belly.
If this continues, I will be eaten alive!
I was secretly anxious, and cold sweat kept coming out of my forehead. If it weren't for my trust in Zhang Bowen, I would have rebelled long ago, so I was still holding on, thinking that I would have to fight to the death when the black witch snake swallowed my waist. Otherwise, if my waist was also swallowed by the big snake, I would not be able to use my waist to exert force, and I could only wait to die!
"Xiaotian, turn around and sit up!"
Just when my patience was almost gone, Zhang Bowen suddenly yelled: "Use your knife to cut the corner of its mouth, that's the only place where the scales are thin!!"
