Queen Flower

Xiao Yan picked up the half-cut knife, sweating on his head, and before he could stand still, he heard Jiang Lan's terrifying cry, and he looked back.

I saw a thick python poking down from the tree and heading towards Jiang Lan. The body of this snake is gray-brown on the back, with a complex diamond-shaped mesh pattern. The color is dark brown from dark to light. It looks very long. It is several meters from the tree, and a large section is coiled on the branches.

Jiang Lan rolled directly from the stone to the ground to avoid the sudden attack of the python. It seems that this is the killer who has been waiting here for prey for a long time, but it is also very likely that it has followed them all the way and waited for an opportunity. In the eyes of these wild animals, they are food.

Xiao Yan slashed the broken knife far away at the giant python. The python just twisted its stout body and was unharmed, but turned its head to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan distracted it, flew over and hugged Jiang Lan, jumped to the side, ready to escape at any time.

But the python ignored them and slowly descended from the tree to the ground and swam towards the dead crocodile. This turned out to be a reticulated python, with a body length of more than nine meters. This is known as the longest python in the world. It has a rough temperament. Although it is non-toxic, it has amazing strangulation power. It has no hope of survival. Cannibalism has been recorded in Southeast Asia.

Now the hungry python had swam straight in front of the crocodile, and the snake's body began to wrap around the crocodile's body tightly. Jiang Lan even heard the sound of bones breaking, which was really creepy.

She motioned for Xiao Yan to take the opportunity to run quickly, but Xiao Yan shook his head and told her not to speak.

At this time, the python had let go of the crocodile and began to prepare to devour it. While this python is huge, so is the crocodile. It swallowed very hard, its mouth opened to the extreme, and saw the crocodile's body slowly disappearing into its mouth, and the flat snake body just now became round and bloated.

Such a rare scene shocked both of them. Xiao Yan put down Jiang Lan, picked up the broken knife, and slowly wanted to approach the Overlord Python, Jiang Lan quickly grabbed him, so don't provoke such a terrible snake, a full-fed snake will not take the initiative to attack other animals, they It's already safe.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of flesh being torn apart. The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw that the upper part of the python near the snake's head suddenly broke apart, and the swallowed half of the crocodile body fell out. It turned out that the crocodile was so big that even if the python successfully swallowed it, its body would not be able to hold it. In the end, it directly caused the body to burst and tear from the inside. The python rolled and twisted in pain and then stopped moving.

The two were stunned, it was an unexpected ending.

Seeing that the snake was not moving, Xiao Yan walked straight to the snake's body, cut it open with a knife, and began to peel the snake's skin.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Lan looked disgusted from a distance, "I'm not hungry now."

Xiao Yan didn't stop his movements, he didn't lift his head, and continued to carefully peel the snake skin, "It's rare to have such a good snake skin, go back and make a snake skin whip for you."

Jiang Lan suddenly realized, indeed, if you want to make a whip, where can there be such a good raw material, the texture is flexible and hard, the knife can't cut it, and it is long enough. The long whip made in this way is very suitable for people who have good internal strength but cannot use all kinds of weapons. Of course, the whip is not something that can be used casually, and requires her to work hard.

Xiao Yan peeled off the snake skin he needed, wrapped it in a piece of cloth and put it in his arms, and also cut a piece of snake meat and carried it in his hand.

Jiang Lan felt that he could no longer stay in the mountain. The mountain was really dangerous and could make people nervous. She has to leave the mountains quickly and return to human society.

Xiao Yan carried her on his back and continued to walk forward. The two of them walked for a long time, maintaining their survival with the little water and snake meat in the water bag. Walking and walking, the direction is a little unclear, and both of them are a little dazed. Could it be that they are about to get lost?

After a whole day, a large wetland appeared in front of the two of them. There were many tall, thick and long wetland bamboos. There were dense and terrifying brown burrs on the shell. In front of the wetland was a wide river. The river water was turbid and yellow. Brown seems to be moving fast. To cross such a river on foot, Jiang Lan has no courage at all, who knows what will be in the river.

Xiao Yan looked at the river and was very happy, "Could it be that this is Lingqu? If it is Lingqu, then we can get out of the mountain smoothly this time."

Lingqu? What a familiar name, Jiang Lan also has this name in his memory. In the current Lingnan Mountains of China, in Guangxi, when the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and attacked the Xiongnu in the north, they sent a Zhao army to expedition to Lingnan, but the conditions were so bad that they could not be transported. Soldiers and food, so Qin Shihuang ordered the excavation of the Ling Canal, so the army successfully crossed the Lingnan Mountains and conquered the local Nanyue natives. Later, in the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, this Zhao army established an independent country, known in history as the Nanyue Kingdom. The capital was Panyu, which is now Guangzhou. In modern times, relics have been excavated in Guangzhou.

Lingqu Canal is one of the oldest canals in the world. Later, after Qin destroyed Han Dynasty, Han Dynasty unified Lingnan through many wars. The famous Mawangdui female mummified corpse dug up in Changsha, her husband and son are both. The generals stationed in Changsha who often fought with them.

If this world was really conceived by Jiang Lan, then the function of this Lingqu is similar, and it can really lead directly to the outside of the mountain.

Xiao Yan said: "It is said that in ancient times, the Lingqu can communicate with the Southern Man and the Celestial Dynasty. However, after several earthquakes occurred here, the Lingqu was broken. I didn't expect to see it here. If you walk along it, you might really be able to get out of the mountain."

Jiang Lan glanced at the surrounding bamboos, and it is faster and less laborious to walk along the bamboo raft. There just happens to be bamboo here, or wetland bamboo. Compared with the small diameter or even solid dryland bamboo, the wetland bamboo is thick and hollow, which is very suitable for making bamboo rafts. So under her command, Xiao Yan took half a steel knife as a machete, and chose blue-colored bamboo, because the yellowish skin was old bamboo, which was unusually hard. Fortunately, Jiang Lan usually likes to watch tropical survival adventure programs, so this kind of knowledge is very rich.

The bamboo raft in the rapids cannot be made very wide, it will spin in the water and can't move forward, so use five thick bamboos side by side, make a few horizontal strips with slightly thinner bamboos, and then use strong vines Tie it tightly. For stability and buoyancy, use the same method to make another raft, and then fold the two rafts together and tie them tightly, so that a practical and sturdy bamboo raft is ready, which can definitely withstand the rapids and rocks .

Xiao Yan praised Jiang Lan while working: "You know a lot. I really want to get to know your master. He is really a master worthy of admiration."

Jiang Lan was noncommittal while saying haha, while shouting to hurry up and make a raft to set off.

Xiao Yan dragged the finished bamboo raft to the river, then carefully placed Jiang Lan on the bamboo raft, and put two moderately long bamboo poles on the bamboo raft for her to grasp, and finally he started to push the raft into the water. to the middle of the river. When the raft floated smoothly in the river, Xiao Yan climbed onto the bamboo raft covered in mud and water, took a bamboo pole and pressed it to the bottom of the river to control the direction, and the bamboo raft began to descend downstream.

Because of the drop, the river water is very fast, and sometimes there are huge stones protruding from the water surface to block one side. Because the bamboo raft is relatively narrow, one of them controls the front and the other controls the back. They use the bamboo poles in their hands to maintain balance and avoid danger. Shijian passed through dangerously, and after passing through several dangerous entrances, the front finally opened up. The bamboo raft was fast, and it went down the river all the way, and finally sent the two of them out of Nanling.

The long-lost human society, I, Hu Hansan, are back.
