As mentioned earlier, a group of us were chased by a tree python and escaped into a rock crevice on the cliff beside the canyon. The python suddenly left, but we found a strange snake with a cockscomb at the end of the crevice. Reposted from This snake is almost standing upright, making a clucking sound like a hen.

I didn't recognize this kind of snake at first, but I felt like I had seen this snake before. After I calmed down, I remembered what kind of snake it was, and I couldn't help but feel horrified.

This turned out to be a pheasant neck.

Why is there such a snake here!

I took a closer look and saw that the flaming red comb and body of the snake, as well as the upright and terrifying posture, were indeed the pheasant neck.

I broke out in a cold sweat... This kind of snake is very rare. In our hometown, it is called Thunder King Red. I saw it once in the mountains when I was a child. According to the old man Said, this snake is the king of snakes, all snakes are afraid of it, it flies close to the ground, its movements are like lightning, and it is extremely poisonous. Wherever it crawls, the plants and weeds will even separate themselves. And this kind of snake cannot be beaten. If it is killed, the same kind will take revenge.

I later read a Qing Dynasty notebook novel, and it was said that snakes like this are small dragons that live along the dragon veins of mountains and rivers. They are also said to be snake spirits entrenched on the dragon veins. In some places, there are legends about sky thunder killing monsters. Most of them are dragons. There was a thunderbolt on the mountain, exploding a snake like this. However, this kind of snake has almost disappeared in recent decades, but it is still here, which is really beyond my expectation.

Fatty and the others had never seen this kind of snake before, and they were all amazed. Among the few people, only Menyoupin had the same change in his face as me, but the fiery red snake body and fierce momentum showed the identity of this snake as a highly venomous snake. , several people did not dare to act rashly.

I had just escaped from the python's mouth and encountered a venomous snake again. I was annoyed and reminded myself that it seemed that I really had to be more careful in this place and not get into any place.

There is still a chance of survival in a head-to-head fight with a python. In a fight with a venomous snake, you usually either win or lose. No one is willing to take this risk, and the pheasant neck usually does not provoke people. Now it has made such a threatening gesture. , is a warning, maybe this gap is its nest.

Then we absolutely couldn't stay here, so I waved my hand to tell them not to attack, and walked out slowly. Aning pulled out the cold fireworks and handed them to me to use as a weapon.

I placed the cold fireworks in front of me, so that when the Pheasant Neck suddenly launched an attack, I would not have to use my hands to block it. We carefully exited the gap, one by one, and everything went smoothly. When it was my turn, I finally He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look inside the gap. It was so dark that the snake could no longer be seen. He thought that nothing had happened after all.

Come down from the gap,

After stepping into the water, the fat man used the lamp to reach outside the waterfall, shined it a few times, and said: The big snake is gone, it's safe...

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and we went to see Pan Zi who was being supported by the fat man. He waved his hands feebly and said that it was okay. He just suffered internal injuries from the fall, but he would not die yet. We looked at each other and laughed bitterly. Several of us were disheveled and covered in mud. Aning's chest was almost exposed. She pulled her clothes to cover it up as if nothing had happened. We didn't have the strength to look at it. All that was left was the equipment bag. The next two, Menyou Ping's ancient black gold knife was lost. The fat man had my dagger in his hand, and he didn't have his own dagger either. The shoulders of Menyou Ping and Pan Zi were covered with dense blood holes, which were bitten by the python's teeth, especially Menyou Ping. He may have struggled to get out, and many wounds were opened.

I never thought that a python could make us so embarrassed.

I looked at the sky. The rain had stopped, and the sky was already bright. The trees on the edge of the canyon were sparse, and I could see the morning light of dawn. There were waterfalls on one side, jungles on the other, and birds chirping all around. What a wonderful situation this would be if I hadn't experienced the fierce battle just now.

Everyone looked at the scenery quietly for a while, and then the fat man asked, What should we do now?

Aning walked to the edge of the waterfall, caught some of the rainwater that washed down, washed his face, and said: When daybreak, we will go back to pick up the equipment, and then find a place to rest. It is too dangerous here, we must hurry up Click out.”

The fat man said: Damn it, it's easy for you to say. When we ran just now, we were running around randomly. We don't know where the tree is. How can we find it?

Then we have to look for it. If we don't go back now, it will be even more impossible to look for it when we need it. Aning pressed his face tiredly, rolled up his sleeves, and put his head into the waterfall to wash it off. , after washing, I tossed my short hair, the mud and sand receded, and my pretty face finally returned to its previous look. Just beckon us to set off.

When I thought about going back to that place, I sighed in my heart, but this woman was right. This is what must be done at this time, just to not let people breathe. It feels like it hasn't recovered yet.

Several people carried their belongings. After all, Aning was a woman and she liked to be clean. Seeing that we had gone far, she opened her clothes and flushed her chest with water. At this time, a flash came out of the corner of my eye, We saw a red flash inside the waterfall, and at the same time we heard a faint gurgling sound.

I immediately felt something was wrong and said to Aning: Be careful and stay away from the waterfall!

What's wrong? Aning turned her head and looked at me. I don't know why, but she showed a very faint smile. It was different from her previous smile. I was surprised when I saw it.

At that moment, a fiery red snake suddenly emerged from the waterfall, coiled itself around Aning's neck, raised its head high, and let out a series of shrill and high-pitched Cluck, cluck sound, I finished reading it! She threw away what she was holding and rushed over. As soon as she took the first step, she saw the pheasant bit down on the neck like lightning. Aning tried to block it with her hands, but the snake bit her neck in one go. She screamed, pulled the snake down, threw it aside, covered her neck and fell into the water.

We rushed over, but the snake did not escape. It jumped up from the water and flew towards us like an arrow. The fat man screamed and tried to chop with the knife, but failed to hit him. He was about to be hit again. The bottle on one side pinched the snake's head in the air, and the snake's body coiled around his arm. He wanted to pull out the snake's head, but he saw that the bottle's other one was stuck on the snake's neck. He twisted his hands in opposite directions, and with a click, the snake's head twisted 360 degrees for him, and then he threw it into the water. The pheasant's neck twisted a few times, then stopped moving and floated slowly.

We hurriedly went to see Aning. I went up to pick her up, but I saw that the expression on her face had solidified, her throat was moving as she wanted to speak, and her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was unwilling to give in. My scalp suddenly became numb. I didn’t know what to do and my whole body started to tremble. Then, in just a few seconds, her eyes suddenly became distracted, her whole body softened, and then her head dropped.
