Chapter 55: The giant python that survives the thunder tribulation?
"It... was praising us just now? It's really amazing!"
"That's so arrogant, as if he treats us as his servants! It's really interesting, haha."
"This deer has spiritual power! It's extraordinary, it's really extraordinary!"
"In all the years I have been watching mountains, I have never seen such a magical deer... I believe it is an auspicious beast!"
As the black deer disappeared, the sound of rubbing in the trees quickly disappeared.
Everyone present could not come to their senses for a long time.
Just because of this contact, they felt that this deer was more and more extraordinary!
I can’t help but think of Lin Nan who made him travel thousands of miles to appear...
For such a spiritual deer to be so close to him, this man must have some abilities!
After watching for a long time, it was confirmed that the black deer had entered the forest.
Section Chief Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said to ranger Lao Yan: "Okay, this is probably the situation."
"Let it go to the forest for observation during this period. Thank you for keeping an eye on it."
"If you have anything to report, we'll leave first."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Forest ranger Lao Yan nodded and responded.
Immediately, the Forestry Bureau staff got in the car and left.
The bright car lights gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
In the vast mountain forest, this is the only forest ranger duty room with lights on.
Outside the lampshade of the incandescent lamp, a few moths and other small flying insects were fluttering and dancing.
Under the darkness of night, ranger Lao Yan wrapped up his clothes and said to the pony beside him:
"Did you hear clearly what Section Chief Gao just said?"
"Listen clearly, master." Ranger Xiao Ma nodded.
"Well..." Lao Yan showed a satisfied expression on his face and continued: "You are my apprentice, so you should exercise more. This task will be left to you in the future."
"While patrolling the forest for fire prevention every day, you should try your best to find the traces of the deer, record them and then compile a report."
"Ah?" When the ranger Xiao Ma heard this, he immediately let out a long sigh.
Immediately, his eyes drifted to the place where the black deer disappeared.
Looking at the quiet and deep dense forest and the vast nature reserve behind.
In this huge mountain forest, it is difficult to find just one deer!
Not to mention tracking and recording its traces every day?
Easier said than done!
When he heard the pony's surprised voice, ranger Lao Yan clicked his tongue and frowned:
"Ah what?"
"But……"
"Stop talking nonsense! Which one of us is the master??"
Forest ranger Lao Yan made a sure kill and then walked towards the duty room with his hands behind his back.
Only the pony remained where it was, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
After standing for a long time, he sighed quietly and followed him with his head down.
…
"Zhizhizhi..."
The noisy chirping of cicadas was intertwined in the dense forest.
At the same time, the lush bushes made a rustling sound.
As several branches were trampled and broken, the moonlight shone through the mottled tree shadows.
Several sneaky figures appeared in the forest.
They avoided surveillance along the way and chose to enter the protected area at the most remote location.
As they groped forward, these figures gradually revealed their full appearance.
These were three men, all wearing jackets and carrying hiking bags.
He also held a powerful crossbow in his hand, and a quiver containing crossbow arrows hung around his waist.
And the leader was carrying a shotgun on his back!
Looking more closely, blood stains were oozing from the bottom of the mountaineering bags carried by these three people.
Obviously, they are a well-prepared group of poachers!
"Giggle..."
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far in front of the three people.
Upon hearing this movement, the three of them immediately disappeared and approached the front with extremely slight movements.
After advancing for a certain distance, I saw a solitary bird standing on a piece of grass not far away.
Its head is reddish brown, and its neck is surrounded by a ring of white feathers.
Under the moonlight, all the feathers on his body were glowing with luster.
When they saw this bird, the three people's eyes immediately exchanged.
One of the younger men also immediately pulled out a crossbow and cocked it.
He aimed the crossbow's crosshair at the bird.
"Whoosh!"
The next second, the sound of a crossbow arrow piercing the air was heard!
In this silent night, it is like a talisman urging death.
The bird didn't even have time to react before it was stabbed to the core by the fired crossbow arrow and fell down.
When they saw the arrow hit the target, the three of them ran over in small steps.
He picked up the seriously injured bird on the ground, pulled out the crossbow arrow and recovered it.
Looking at the bird, one of them seemed a little disgusted and said: "Why is it like this again... When can we get some big products?"
And with the sound of disgust, the poacher muttered in his mouth. The leading middle-aged man carrying a shotgun whipped out a dagger!
The sharp cold light shines brightly in the moonlight, making it particularly dazzling.
Seeing him holding a dagger, the man who was still aggrieved just now swallowed his saliva and quickly lowered his head.
Immediately afterwards, the leading man glanced at him coldly, went up and snatched the bird into his hands.
With a stabbing sound, the man skillfully cut off the bird's head.
He threw it aside casually, handed the bird that was still bleeding to the other party, and said in a deep voice:
"What's the rush?"
The leading man asked another person: "I've stepped on it a few times. Did you see anything?"
Hearing this, the man immediately responded: "Brother Mao, don't worry, there must be a big python on this mountain!"
With that said, the man explained to the two of them: "Two thunders struck here a few days ago, but not a drop of rain fell!"
"There are rumors in the neighborhood that this is a python with cultivation skills that is going to survive the thunder tribulation."
"And as long as we can find a decent python in the mountains, we will make a fortune!"
"Tear it down and sell it. You will have enough to eat and drink in this life!"
As the poacher said, they came here not only for rare animals.
He also had one purpose, which was to find a python on the mountain.
Perhaps a python is not too valuable to poachers.
But once it is given a special value, for example, this python once caused a thunder disaster...
Then, it will be priceless!
Of course, this is all bragging, and they naturally know that it is impossible for a python to survive the tribulation, but with this statement, they can sell it at a good price.
As for the so-called 'Thunder Tribulation', it is indeed mysterious. They have heard a lot of legends recently, and they still can't figure out what the two thunders are about.
With this purpose, the three poachers continued their actions.
Their whereabouts were not fixed, so they searched all the way up the mountain, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, they become more and more green under the rising sun.
One of the poachers looked around, as if he was worried about what he might encounter, and asked the man in the lead: "Brother Mao, there are rangers in this forest, can't we?" Would you like us to meet him?"
When the leading man heard this, his eyes flashed with a fierce light and he said:
"What are you afraid of? We have guns!" "If anyone dares to block my way of making money, I will feed him a gun!"
"Susususu..."
Just as the leading poacher was saying harsh words, there was a rustling sound in the trees ahead.
There seemed to be something moving not far in front of them.
And judging from the direction of the sound, that thing seemed to be approaching them!
"Shh~"
Seeing this, the three poachers immediately became vigilant, fell silent for a moment, and exchanged glances with each other.
They wondered, could he be the ranger of this nature reserve?
But the sound was constantly changing position, and the speed was extremely fast. It didn't look like something a ranger could make while running in the forest.
"Could it be some kind of beast?"
With speculation in their minds, the two poachers holding crossbows felt a little happy and nocked their crossbows one after another.
Here, encountering rangers is much scarier than wild beasts.
Wild animals cannot defeat armed poachers, but rangers can tip off information.
The leading man also took off his shotgun from his back and listened to the sound coming from the front, which was getting closer and closer to them at the moment.
Even the trees in front began to shake violently.
And just when the three poachers held their breath and concentrated, they were ready to respond.
"Uh-huh!"
The next second, a huge black shadow jumped out of the forest!
"this……"
The moment they saw this black shadow, the expressions of the three poachers froze instantly!
My eyes widened almost at the same time, as if I had forgotten to breathe!
I saw the creature that suddenly jumped out, with a pair of long and narrow horns on its head, shaped like lightning bolts.
The black hair on its back actually showed a touch of color under the morning light.
Such a huge figure sprang out of the forest quickly, leaping several meters high, as if it was about to reach the sky!
That muscular body that looked heavy passed over the heads of the three of them!
The three poachers only felt a strong wind blowing above their heads, which made their cheeks hurt and they could hardly open their eyes.
Looking back at the black shadow, it seemed that he didn't notice that three people appeared here. He glanced at it very spiritually and ran towards the periphery of the natural scenic area.
At this time, the three poachers were all staring in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
A poacher couldn't help but murmured in surprise as he recalled what he had just seen.
"Did I read that correctly? Was that...a deer just now??"
As the poacher saw, the black shadow that just jumped out of the mountain forest was naturally the black deer released into the nature reserve by the Forestry Bureau.
Due to the Guiyuan Spring Thunder Seal placed on him by Lin Nan, and inspired by the bloodline left over from ancient times, this black deer is constantly moving closer to the divine beast Mo Qilin.
According to the classics, Mo Qilin under Leizu Tianzun has great magical powers.
Not only can it trigger thunder and call wind and rain with its two horns, but it can also speak human words.
In this way, this black deer is already extremely intelligent and can communicate with Lin Nan's thoughts.
But I don’t know how long it will take to completely activate the bloodline with the thunder seal.
And this Black Deer was able to understand Lin Nan's comforting words when he parted with Lin Nan yesterday.
I heard Lin Nan say that they were not far away and could see each other at any time.
So, Heilu had just gotten familiar with the environment in the mountains and planned to go back to find Lin Nan.
It happened that Black Deer also found a remote location and wanted to go down the mountain in the direction of Lin Nan, but he happened to encounter this group of poachers.
At this time, the three poachers were surprised by the sudden appearance of the black deer.
As poachers, they live in the mountains and forests all year round.
In the process, we naturally saw all kinds of wild deer in the mountains.
But even though they have seen a lot, they have never seen such a special deer...
How can one leap from flat ground to a height of about three or four meters?
What's more, this deer is so big that it doesn't look like it is light.
But the fact happened right in front of them, and they all saw it clearly just now!
For a while, the three poachers still looked at each other and couldn’t help but exclaimed:
“Is that really a deer just now?”
"Why do I feel that when it was walking away, it turned back and glared at us!"
As these words rang out, the three of them recalled the way the deer turned back and glanced at them.
It really doesn’t look like an ordinary wild deer in the forest, it clearly looks like a person’s gaze!
Thinking of this, the poacher who shot the crossbow earlier couldn't help but take a breath and said:
"Hiss... I heard from the older generation that the mountain god sometimes turns into an animal in the forest to punish those who are disrespectful to the creatures in the mountain!"
"Could that deer just now be...?"
When the poachers on the side heard the sound, they immediately responded:
"What am I talking about? This place must be evil!"
"Now it seems that the two thunders that struck that day may not have been a coincidence!"
Just when the two hunters were talking more and more evil, the leader, Big Mao, spat.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Find it for me quickly!"
"What kind of mountain god is it? Next time I see it, I will be crushed by it!"
A few people did not dare to say any more, knowing that as poachers, if there really was a mountain god, they would definitely bring retribution. Fortunately, it was just a joke, so no one took it to heart anymore, and then continued walking into the mountains.
…
"Huh...it's terrible, I'm done running."
Yanhai University, under the early morning sun.
The freshmen had just finished their morning run, and Wang Chengyu was holding his hands on his hips, panting out of breath.
He couldn't help complaining: "Oh, it's really a ghost. You said that we finally have no classes in the morning and have to get up early and go out for a morning run."
"How long will this kind of life last?"
Hearing Wang Chengyu's complaint, Jiang Tao seemed to have found out something in advance and said:
"It won't be long. I want to join the physical education department. I've also contacted the seniors in the physical education department and they said it's a morning run for freshmen and I have to run for the whole semester."
As Jiang Tao spoke, his words seemed to contain some emotion about the short morning run.
On the other hand, Wang Chengyu on the side suddenly heard the bad news, and his eyes the size of two mung beans widened.
"What? I have to travel for a semester?!"
Wang Chengyu cried out loudly, with a half-dead look on his face.
Finally, with the comfort of the two of them, they reluctantly accepted this fact.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengyu curiously asked Jiang Tao: "Sports Department? Why did you go into that thing when you had nothing to do?"
"If I have that free time, I might as well lie down in the dormitory, or start a live broadcast with Brother Nan."
"Really?" Hearing this, Jiang Tao raised a smile and said meaningfully: "But once you join the physical education department, you can supervise other freshmen's morning runs."
"If one day it's my turn to supervise and someone is feeling unwell, can they ask for leave from me so that they can stand and rest on the side?"
"Should I blanch it?"
As Jiang Tao finished speaking, Wang Chengyu was suddenly startled.
He had just scoffed at his joining the sports department.
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Chengyu's attitude changed 180 degrees!
I love that not only is Lin Nan his bread and butter, but this person is also his supporter!
Thinking of this, Wang Chengyu immediately changed his words, cupped his fists and said, "Father! My words were a little harsh just now!"
After a few people made jokes, Jiang Tao turned around and asked Lin Nan: "By the way, where is Lao Lin? Have you ever thought about joining any department or club?"
