Chapter 12: Is She Really Snake Girl?

  "What's dirty?" Stone raised an eyebrow, looked around cautiously, extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground and said "What's dirty? What to do now?"

  "I don't know what's going on," I shook my head, pulled out the plastic bag containing food and handed it to Shi Tou, saying "Look, the plastic bag is broken and there are black water stains on it. It was originally used to wrap food and medicine, but now these things have been scattered all over the place. Several bags of QQ intestines are missing, and the iron box for lunch meat has been squeezed open, but not crushed."

  The stone held the plastic bag, put it to his nose and sniffed, his face changed, saying "What a big stench," before I could respond, he leaned in again, not long after, his face looked even more unpleasant, suddenly turning his head, staring at me and saying "The smell is still in the external diffusion stage, it just left not long ago."

  When the stone said that, my heart sank again. I grabbed the plastic bag from the stone's hand and wiped it on my pants, casually wrapping up the water-repellent things and stuffing them into my backpack. "Whatever it is, let's just get out of here." After saying that, I involuntarily glanced at the stalactite, as if seeing the icy, bone-piercing eyes behind it.

  The stone put two mountaineering bags on its back, nodded at me and slid down along the rope. The things on my back were too heavy, if I jumped straight down, I would definitely sink to the bottom. I took a deep breath and followed the stone's example, sliding down along the rope. However, the axe was stuck in the stairs and wasn't stable, plus my strength was not well controlled, and I slid less than two meters before the rope was pulled away, and I fell headfirst.

  Fortunately, the distance from the water surface was not far away, and after a couple of splashes, I floated to the surface, wiped the water off my face, spat twice, and said to the stone, "Damn it, you almost drowned me! Let's go quickly!"

  The stone picked up the rope and swam in front of me, one was leading the way, and the other was that I could also help him carry some of the mountain bag behind, two mountain bags together weighed over thirty kilograms.

  Before long, the water was only chest-deep, but the weight on his back was too heavy to swim, and he could only wade through the water. His backpack was soaked through, and every step forward took a great deal of effort.

  When the water was just waist-deep, my suspended heart finally put down slightly, and I smiled at the stone and said, "We're almost at the entrance of the cave."

  "En," Shi Tou nodded and took two steps before suddenly stretching out his hand to stop me. "En?" he said.

  "What's wrong?" I stopped in my tracks and asked uncertainly.

  "You don't think something is off here."

  "Something's off?" I immediately pulled out my handgun.

  "Uh-huh," Stone nodded and shone his flashlight ahead, saying "What does it look like to you?"

  I took a look and burst out laughing, how come I didn't notice it when I came over earlier? There's this huge black rock in a spiral shape, seems like there are some spots on it too. I laughed and said "How does it look just like a pile of shit!"

  The stone smiled and said, "Don't you think it looks more like a coiled snake?"

  "Snake?" My heart skipped a beat, that's one huge snake! At least ten meters long. I shook my head vigorously, not daring to believe it, "No, no way, a snake that big? That's impossible." Before the words had even left my mouth, Stone and I exchanged a glance, shaking our heads in bitter laughter. It seemed like it was defending its identity as a snake spirit, and actually moved. My heart felt icy cold, facts speak louder than words, indeed it was a snake spirit!

  Shi Tou held P in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, asking me "You say where should the head of this snake be?"

  I shook my head, wiped my nose with my hand and said "Take the initiative, let's get this done."

  The stone shook its head and said, "No way, this will only enrage it, and it's unclear how much damage the robbery can cause to it. The scales on its body don't seem thin."

  I nodded in agreement with Shi Tou's words, and shone my flashlight on the water surface, but couldn't see anything, it was pitch black. At this moment, a sudden splashing sound came over, and ripples appeared on the water surface, less than a meter away from us.

  "In the water, quick hide!" I and Shi shouted at the same time, and rushed to both sides. With a splash, a huge black shadow emerged from where I and Shi had just landed, making a hissing sound.

  I fell to the side, immediately came back to my senses, retreated backwards, until my body was leaning against the wall of the cave before stopping, nervously licking my lips, with the gun pointing at the giant snake that had appeared, at least as thick as a waist, its entire body covered in dark brown scales reflecting a dull black light, on top of its head was a red crown, eyes as big as fists staring round and wide, its long and short fangs making one feel wave after wave of terror. Could this be the legendary Snake Queen of Li Jia Gou? But looking at it like this, how could it possibly be connected to an ethereal fairy goddess?!

  After it appeared, it didn't attack us directly. Instead, it raised its head high, with a pair of black eyes staring at me coldly. Its body was half-standing upright and over two meters tall. The tail behind was still coiled at the door. I took in a breath of cool air, afraid that my calculation was wrong - it must be 15 or 16 meters long! A snake this big, I've never heard of before.

  The stone's voice came over, "This seems to be an Amazonian forest boa."

  I glanced at the giant python and saw that it didn't seem to care about me, so I quietly asked "What is an Amazonian boa constrictor?"

  "It's not a snake, it's a python. Pythons are fond of water and usually live in muddy shores or shallow waters, preying on water birds, turtles, otters, and sometimes even swallowing caimans as long as 2.5 meters. But I don't think there are any in China! And this python is a bit different too, pythons don't have crowns." Stone said again.

  Looking at me for so long, the forest spirit stared at me without changing direction, and except for Xīnzi, it didn't move at all. I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, and with some trepidation, I said, "Damn, don't say that, it's been staring at me, maybe it's hungry and wants to use me as a snack!"

  "Shoo, it's just a blind snake, with extremely poor eyesight. It has organs between its eyes and nostrils that can detect temperature changes, allowing the snake to sense the heat emitted by other animals, making it deadly accurate in catching prey even on completely dark nights. As long as you emit heat, you won't escape the snake's capture."

  "It's all over for me." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still unsure what was going on. The more anxious I became, the faster my salivary glands worked.

  "But what's with the crown?" Stone spoke up again, what time is it now, still thinking about Sen Jia's crown? I bitterly smiled and said "Should think about how to run out of here! It grew so big, who knows if it was a bump on the head from not paying attention!"

  "Pythons usually don't attack people, they just lean against the wall and walk towards the hole." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the stone slowly move, I was about to make a move, but bitterly smiled and said "I'm afraid you're wrong this time." After finishing speaking, I took off running, with a loud rumbling sound, rocks flying everywhere, the python moved, and it was very fast, extremely powerful, and heavily crashed into where I was just standing.
