Chapter 7 7. Rain
Deep in the silence of the mountains, red winding shadows quietly approach the village.
Scarlet Xinzi swallowed the information coming from the air, and his golden candle-like eyes observed the uninvited guests in the village.
What Qing Yan said was true. Li Xi'an felt his own breath among this group of people, which was the scale it left to the old man. Originally, my behavior that day was extremely cautious, but I didn't expect that someone with ulterior motives would still take advantage of me.
It seems that the things at hand really need to be put aside for a while.
Li Xi'an pondered.
Of course it will not wait for those people to come to its door. Although the small island in the middle of the lake can be called a secret habitat, the ferocious tiger Qingyan can find it with just a little search. That little secret is nothing to the rising creature. Li Xi'an was not sure whether there was a rising creature among this group of people, but since the other party was coming for it, he must have been well prepared. So he immediately fled into the river and approached the village. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and the other party will not expect that every move they make now will fall under the eyes of the big snake.
"Oh, it's him." Li Xi'an recognized the leading middle-aged man.
The old man's son wanted to get out of the mountains and work hard in the big cities. He came back a few times, but he always asked the old man for money. It was obvious that the man's life in the big cities was not satisfactory, and he even failed. Perhaps he was the culprit behind this group of uninvited guests.
The scales it gave to the old man were found by him and used as evidence of its existence for everyone to come.
The big snake lay dormant for a long time. It wasn't until the dozens of people standing at the entrance of the village packed up their things and started walking into the mountain that it slowly moved its body. Ambush is a compulsory course for snakes to hunt. Li Xi'an was not born strong. He also experienced a fragile childhood. Before he grew into an apex predator, he used his patience to wait for prey to walk into it. Hunting circle.
Now you can do it again and it will still work.
Dozens of people changed their clothes after climbing into the mountain. They took out professional military equipment from the boxes they carried, skillfully assembled and loaded the guns, sorted the bullets, and put on bulletproof vests one by one. One of them even thoughtfully gave Lin Zhiqiang Put on a little vest.
Li Xi'an smelled the breath of fear. It seemed that the man's first reaction when he saw these war equipment was greater than the touch of one of the team members' thoughtfulness.
The wooden box was still carried on everyone's back, and Li Xi'an guessed that this was what enabled them to dare to go into the mountains to find it. Because this group of people is heading in the right direction, towards its habitat. At this time, Orochi's attention was no longer on this group of people. The golden candlelight locked on the girl in the black dress who was guarded by the strong men with guns. The aura of the girl was completely different from that of ordinary people. This should be their second reliance.
But these are far from enough.
The big snake's eyes were stern, its scales clasped together, and its terrifying muscles pulled its huge body and disappeared.
They shouldn't have come to this mountain.
Because this is its hunting ground, and those who intrude will only die.
…………
The further you go into the mountains, the darker the light becomes.
The old trees spread their branches and leaves wantonly, intertwining with each other, blocking the sunlight and bringing in the refreshing mountain breeze.
Lin Zhiqiang couldn't help but shivered. From the moment he walked into this mountain, there was a dark cloud hanging over his heart. He always felt that something was staring at him somewhere, with stern and teasing eyes, like a king looking forward to ignorant people walking into his territory and taking them away. Be fun as a mouse.
Shaking his head hard, the man forced himself to dispel the distracting thoughts in his heart.
It'll be okay, even if the big snake really has the magic power mentioned in the old man's story, it can't stop the gun. There is no creature in the world that human thermal weapons cannot deal with. The man quietly looked around and felt relieved when he looked at the dark muzzle of the gun next to him. Gu Yan Wang's handiwork was too big. Lin Zhiqiang could not recognize what type of firearms these people were holding, but he could tell that these things were not commercially available. The gun body looked like a submachine gun he had seen on the news. It is said that a shuttle of bullets could kill someone. The rhinos were shot into a sieve.
If all the bullets in the hands of this group of people were fired, it would probably be enough to remove a complete scale from the whole body of the big snake.
As Lin Zhiqiang thought about it, he felt more and more that there was nothing to be afraid of.
But the wind in the mountains is getting colder.
"Huh?" The man was startled. The coolness on the tip of his nose interrupted his thoughts and attracted everyone's attention. People around me looked up and saw leaden clouds gathering in the sky. The clouds were so low that they seemed to be resting on the mountains. The cold wind in the mountains passed by from the lower place, carrying a shrill cry. For some reason, they actually felt a bit biting.
Storm is coming.
It was clearly sunny before entering the mountain, but a heavy rain came not long after entering the mountain.
"Miss, do you need shelter from the rain?" The strong man who followed Lin Zhiqiang into the village asked the girl.
"There's no need, he's here."
"Who?" The strong man didn't react for a moment, but he soon realized who the "him" in the girl's mouth was. The moment he understood, all the hair on his body stood up, and he raised his head to look around. On the eve of departure, they learned information from their boss. The target of this mission was a strange snake deep in the Taihang Mountains, and the requirement was to capture it alive as much as possible. He and his guys didn't think it was that difficult. It's just a big snake. No matter how ferocious this beast is, it can't stand up to humans. They had performed many similar tasks before, and things that were much more powerful than normal creatures were still swept into a hornet's nest.
This time will not be an exception, but what is different from the past is that the boss's sister is traveling with them this time.
She said the big snake was coming.
But he saw nothing. All he could see were the fluttering branches and leaves and the mountain breeze.
"Boom──!"
With a dull thunder. Thousands of tons of rainwater fell toward the mountains, as if someone in the sky had opened a floodgate.
The heavy rain instantly obscured everyone's vision.
Bean-sized raindrops hit their faces, taking away body heat. At the same time, they felt the sound of rain and wind coming from all directions. In the heavy rain, they lost their judgment of the environment.
Lin Zhiqiang's inner uneasiness was detonated. He heard something whispering in the heavy rain. The unknown language was mixed with the rain and released, covering them. Maybe this was his imagination, but this sound roared in his eardrums, and he felt that he must be crazy now!
The girl didn't pay attention to the man with a distorted face. She was humming.
Heavy rain fell on her body, soaking her black skirt and outlining her young and attractive curves.
Her eyes fell on the corner of the heavy rain.
There, the red behemoth stood up in the rain, and its huge golden candle-like eyes looked coldly at everyone. They heard the sound of metal friction of scales opening and closing in layers, in the rain, around, and everywhere they could detect.
When you look into those eyes that are as molten as gold, it feels like a huge mountain is pressing down on your spine, bending your knees, making people unable to help but kneel down.
Holding their breath, for a moment, the thought rolled through their minds, maybe the storm came to welcome this existence!
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!" After a brief period of confusion, someone opened fire, and the black muzzle spit out tongues of flame and penetrated into the rain.
Under such terrible pressure, they were unable to heed the order to capture alive, and even their human arrogance was gone.
But there were sparks flying in the rain, like bullets hitting an indestructible steel plate. The people who raised their guns and fired heard the roar of gold and iron. Sparks flew up and circled around them.
People disappear one by one. He was dragged into the rain and disappeared by the inexplicable huge force, as if the heavy rain turned into a demon that chose people to eat at this time, and the shouts seemed to stretch to infinity.
Lin Zhiqiang sat on the ground, hugging his head and crying. Without professional training, he was frightened by the unparalleled sense of oppression. This is the fear engraved in human genes, and facing this kind of thing, this kind of monster, comes from ancient times. swept over again.
The strong man was still roaring, and he shouted to the girl.
"Miss Gu, run! It's not a 'creature' at all! This thing is a monster, a monster in the mountains!"
The girl didn't seem to hear anything. She opened her arms towards the giant red shadow, as if she wanted to hug the giant creature.
The sound was so soft that it was almost covered by the sound of heavy rain.
"I like you very much. Can you stop messing around? I'll take you out of here."
Damn it! The strong man felt that his little ancestor must be crazy! The arm holding the gun twitched.
The candles are burning, and his men are getting fewer and fewer. The girl noticed this and the other party didn't stop even after she extended the invitation.
"As my pet, follow me out of here." The girl spoke again, with a bit more dissatisfaction in her tone.
The weird laughter emerged in the heavy rain and echoed around them. The sound was low, like thunder in the throat of the owner of the laughter.
The thing is laughing.
The strong man felt that all the blood in his body solidified under this weird laughter.
The rain is getting heavier.
