Volume 2: Corpse in the Dark Mountain Chapter 14: Bitter Battle with the Forest Worm

  In a flash, I thought of Sen Ya's movement and cursed out loud, "Stone, you bastard, you deceived me, you can't get out at all!" Sen Ya was going to use his body to entwine the stone! His more than ten-meter-long body, as thick as an adult's waist, how could he possibly escape? I hastily returned to the cave with my pistol and engineer shovel, and now when I looked back at the entrance, I finally understood the meaning of the three words "Dragon Tooth Cave".

  Inside the cave, there was no sound of fighting anymore. My heart suddenly cooled down and I couldn't help but start thinking wildly, fearing that the stone had been swallowed by a python. Approaching the position from just now, I immediately hid behind a rock and looked around, seeing nothing unusual, before cautiously moving a little bit further into the cave.

  Not two steps away, a loud slap on the head, then stood up, swaggering into the interior, the snake is relying on temperature to perceive the surrounding environment, what am I hiding for!

  Two loud noises, I was overjoyed, hurriedly quickened my pace, it seemed that Shi Tou was still alive.

  I immediately ran towards the direction of the sound, and the snake seemed to have already discovered me, raising its head high, spitting out a long, crimson tongue, especially those black eyes, although it was almost blind, but exuded a cold, bloodthirsty aura, as if it were a dark demon gathering all the madness in the world. Seeing it, my heart rate increased several times.

  "Lin Zi, how did you come back?"

  As I saw the stone, my mind buzzed with a sudden realization - no wonder the stone's voice had changed. The snake had coiled around the stone three times, and if it weren't for the ground-penetrating radar holding its body in place, it would have been sliced into two pieces long ago. He was now hacking at the snake's scales with an axe.

  I came up with a single shot, intending to hit the snake's eyes, but ended up hitting its forehead instead.

  "Ah," it suddenly shrunk and stretched rapidly, its body also twisted a few times, probably in great pain, but it didn't let go of the stone, instead using more force, while charging towards me with its head. I hastily retreated, firing another shot, but missed again.

  With a loud clang, the axe in Shi Tou's hand flew out of his grasp and struck a stalactite before falling into the water. Shi Tou suddenly hugged his head tightly and thrust half of his body into the snake-like creature's trunk. I was taken aback and thought to myself: What is Shi Tou trying to do? Isn't he asking for death? If the snake-like creature exerted any force, it would turn him into a meat pie! Just then, the ground radar suddenly emitted a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and with a deafening crash, it exploded!

  "Hiss!" The forest python suddenly straightened its body and rolled on the ground, and Shi Tuo took advantage of the opportunity to crawl out, leaning against a stone and holding his chest, coughing non-stop. I quickly ran over and helped him up. It turned out that earlier Shi Tuo was not trying to smash the python's scales, but rather to pry open several that were stuck with an underground radar probe. The probe was powered by a waterproof battery pack, which would definitely explode under intense pressure, and after the explosion, it could blast the python's scales from the inside out.

  "Stone, are you hurt?" I asked anxiously as I looked at the blood flowing non-stop from his back.

  "Cough, cough, cough," Shi Tou's face turned a deep purple color, and he waved his hand, saying "Hurry up and leave."

  I quickly lifted the stone and walked out, the scales of the forest python were all tightly attached to its skin. This time, a large piece was suddenly peeled off, it hurt so much that it thrashed about everywhere. Its scales didn't know how they grew, they were as thick as an adult's palm. If you attacked it directly from the outside, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to cause any harm!

  This time it was hurt by the stones, with about a third of its body dyed red, its tail wagging wildly, and several stones that were pulled over almost hit us.

  I hadn't run two steps when the stone pushed me open and fell to the other side. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed past us from the middle, splashing water on my face. Before I could react, the sound of breaking air rang out. I didn't have time to think much, so I immediately rolled around in place and dodged to one side. With a loud crash, the giant snake tail slammed into where I had just been. Before I could get up, the snake tail wrapped around me from underwater, coiling around me. Then, as if I were floating on clouds, I lifted off the ground.

  Layer by layer, I was wrapped around by the python for three rounds. As soon as it exerted force, I would immediately become a meat pie. My pistol had long been lost somewhere. Only my left hand still clutched an engineer's shovel. At this moment, I suddenly felt a bloody smell and a foul odor coming over at the same time. Upon closer inspection, the python's body wrapped around me was exactly where it had been blasted by stones, and the foul odor came from the python's big mouth biting down.

  "This guy never brushes his teeth?" I held my breath and cursed silently. At the same time, I realized it wasn't strangling me, probably wanted to swallow me alive. I clenched my fists tightly on the shovel and stabbed fiercely into its exposed flesh, just like digging soil. My heart was also furious, a seven-foot-tall man being chased by a beast, you want to eat me? I won't let you have it easy, can you swallow? I'll rip your belly open and let everything spill out."

  "Retch," it writhed continuously, but didn't let go of me, its tongue even licking my face, the nauseating stench.

  After a few shots, something with a long and short arm, red fork, and a layer of mucus on top fell into my arms. Why does it look so familiar? I couldn't help but frown. At this time, there were continuous drops falling on my head like raindrops. When I touched it with my hand, it was red. Suddenly, I realized what it was. Lifting my head up, the snake-like creature was shaking its head and brain as if it had drunk too much, with blood continuously dripping from its mouth, and its tongue was gone.

  With a thud, the forest python suddenly darted out and heavily crashed into the wall of the cave, its body twisting like a doughnut, constantly rolling over. The stone had struck it blind in its left eye. Originally, its eyes were hidden under its scales, but perhaps because the wound was too painful after being hit by the stone, it actually bulged its eyes out. The stone came running over and dragged me to run away.

  Less than a hundred meters away, Sen Jia was like a madman, regardless of whether it was stalactites or broken rocks in front of him, he charged forward in a straight line at an extremely fast speed, with blood all over his mouth and body, his left eye had become a hole, but green liquid continued to flow down from it, his big mouth wide open as he rushed towards them at incredible speed.

  Shi Tou suddenly turned around, firing several shots in a row. Although each shot hit its mark, Sen Ou seemed to feel no pain and let out a hissing sound as he charged towards Shi Tou.

  At this time, we are not far from the entrance of the cave. However, once we exit the cave, things might get even worse. Inside the cave, it can't stretch out, but outside, its over 10-meter-long body will be able to stretch out, and I'm afraid that both I and Shi Tou will be done for.

  Suddenly I thought, I still have a lighter in my pocket! It's waterproof and windproof. I quickly took it out of my pants pocket, lit it, and casually placed it on a stone. The snake was clearly stunned for a moment, its body froze. Perhaps the sudden appearance of a third heat source also confused it. But only for a few seconds. The snake opened its big mouth and bit down, making a crunching sound that made my heart ache. It bit hard on the stone, probably even the hardest teeth would be enough to make it choke.

  The stone was fast enough, it had already run out of the cave entrance. He turned his head around and suddenly showed a terrified expression. I turned my head to look back, and the giant centipede's big mouth was about to bite me. How come I didn't hear its sound this time?

  As soon as I got nervous, I didn't notice the ground and was tripped by a small stone, falling to the ground with a thud. Although this fall also made me roll out of the dragon's mouth, the big mouth of the python was less than half a meter away from me. The broken fangs, the crooked teeth, the stinky breath, I seemed to be petrified, unable to move at all, and could only stare blankly as it bit down on me.
