The creature was long and had a dark-red shell that reflected light like metal . Its sharp legs were like blades .
“Is this an ancient creature?” Zhao Yinghao exclaimed in shock .
“No, there are large centipedes in the subtropical rainforest of southern Yunnan, but this is the first time I have seen such a huge one,” Miao Qingfeng replied . “It might be because of the special natural environment here . ”
“These people are not that simple,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Yes, so be careful,” Miao Qingfeng said .
Such a large centipede, which was poisonous, could easily kill them . That meant the two remaining people were masters with great skills .
The sound of gunfire was getting closer, but it was becoming less frequent .
“Snake, you go first! I’ll cover from behind!” A voice yelled out .
Rat-tat…
The automatic rifle spewed out sparks and flame . Amidst the sounds, a new one was growing stronger .
Buzz! Buzz!
“What is that?”
Miao Qingfeng and Zhao Yinghao did not immediately approach the sound . Instead, they hid and observed the situation .
“Killer bees!”
A large group of black bees appeared in the sky . The two people on the ground were holding on with everything they had . They were beaten down, and one of them was covered with blood .
This kind of thing didn’t just appear in movies and novels . People like them, who often dealt with poisonous insects, knew about this kind of terrible poisonous insect . Still, it was their first time seeing such a huge one . Were they bees? Why did they look as big as cicadas? The key problem was that there were hundreds of them . It was a miracle that the two men had survived until now .
“Junior, I think we should leave,” Miao Qingfeng whispered .
“Why?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“Those centipedes are easy to deal with, but these killer bees are very difficult,” Miao Qingfeng said . “I have a hunch that there must be something more terrible inside . They’re definitely not so easy to deal with . ”
“Isn’t it a pity to go back just like this?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
He thought that since they were already there, they should investigate . They had finally found this place . All the different things they had encountered along the way were amazing . They had never met these creatures before . There had to be something about the place that caused these changes in the creatures .
“It’s not a pity,” Miao Qingfeng said . “If we don’t go soon, our names and bodies might stay here forever . Those two people are obvious examples!”
Suddenly, there was a scream . The gunshots stopped for an instant . It soon rang out again but was not as fierce .
“Another one has died, and now there’s only one left,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Go!”
As soon as he turned around, footsteps sounded behind them . A man staggered toward them . His facial features were a bloody mess and could not be clearly seen . His one arm was broken . His other hand was holding a gun . He was just pushing on by will . In fact, he was no longer able to escape at all .
At the sight of this man, Miao Qingfeng’s face changed greatly . “Go!”
The two men sped quickly through the dense forest of the valley . Behind them, something seemed to be chasing them . Large trees were falling .
Miao Qingfeng threw out the precious wooden standing pot he was carrying . It landed on the ground with a thud . A large number of poisonous insects flew out of it . It was hard to imagine that such a small pot could release so many insects . The insects flew out and rushed directly into the jungle .
The two men arrived at the shore . The python, which had been floating, had disappeared .
“This is bad!” Miao Qingfeng threw another Ecstasy pill into the water .
Whoosh! Trees continued falling behind them .
They couldn’t wait any longer . Miao Qingfeng felt as if the danger was just behind him . It was as if there was a knife on his back that could pierce his heart from behind at any time . It had to be something terrifying . It was like how he felt when he faced the king of the five poisonous insects in the valley .
The distance was more than 32 away . The two men began to quickly swim . Miao Qingfeng, who was in front, was suddenly dragged into the water by something .
“Senior!” Zhao Yinghao plunged into the water without hesitation .
In an instant, the water turned red as blood mixed with the water . The two men poked their heads out .
“Leave me alone! Leave by yourself!” Miao Qingfeng yelled .
Zhao Yinghao did not listen . He continued swimming, dragging Miao Qingfeng toward the rocks . “Hold on to me!”
Whoosh! The thing that had been chasing behind them showed itself . It was a black-scaled python . Its body was 3-feet wide . Its length was unclear . What was revealed was more than 30-feet long .
“Hurry up!” Zhao Yinghao used both hands and feet to scramble toward a hole .
The python coiled up . As soon as it shot forward, it crossed the 32-foot distance in an instant . It rushed toward the two people and opened its gaping mouth .
At that critical moment, Miao Qingfeng sprayed out a handful of poison, hoping to hold the python back for a moment . It did not affect it at all .
Boom! A loud noise sounded .
The two men rolled into the hole . They were able to escape the fatal blow .
Crash! The stones in the hole began to fall, piece by piece .
“This is bad,” Miao Qingfeng said . “This cave is going to collapse . ”
“Come on, I’ll carry you on my back,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Be careful, there are landmines,” Miao Qingfeng said .
Zhao Yinghao ran as fast as possible with Miao Qingfeng on his back .
Boom! A landmine detonated because of the falling stones . The huge explosion aggravated the speed of the cave collapsing .
“Damn it!”
Boom! Boom!
Successive explosions followed . Flames sprayed out from the entrance of the cave . The two men rushed out of the cave and fell heavily onto the ground from 16 feet up . There were rocks and weeds on the ground . They were both injured, but they were still alive .
“Senior?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“I’m fine,” Miao Qingfeng said . “I won’t die from this . ”
Miao Qingfeng’s wound seemed to be serious . The flesh on his legs was a mess . In some places, bone was peeking out . In the pool, he had been bitten by something .
“What kind of fish can do something so impressive?” Zhao Yinghao asked as he propped up Miao Qingfeng’s body .
He took a small bag with special ointment from his pocket . He endured the pain and applied the ointment to Miao Qingfeng’s severely injured legs .
“Report to Guli?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“Definitely, I don’t want to be disabled,” Miao Qingfeng said with an attempted laugh .
They called Guli and found a place to rest . In their present state, they couldn’t get out of the jungle by themselves .
“Senior, how could there be such a big python in that valley?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“How would I know? Miao Qingfeng replied . “There must be something wonderful inside . When we’ve recovered and prepared, we’ll come back in and have a look . ”
“You want to come back? Don’t you cherish your life?” Zhao Yinghao was shocked .
“Next time, it won’t be just the two of us,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Master will go as well . ”
He was certain that his master would come out of the mountain to explore after hearing their story .
“Can he deal with that python?” Zhang Yinghao asked .
“It would be no problem . Master is almost a land god,” Miao Qingfeng said .
In the mountain village, thousands of miles away…
“Since you’re always staying on this mountain, does that mean you want to become an immortal?” Wang Mingbao asked Wang Yao with a smile .
“What is an immortal?” Wang Yao poured him a cup of tea .
The question stunned Wang Mingbao . He took a sip from his teacup . “Mmm, this tea is good!” He raised his thumb . “What tea is it?”
“Da Hong Pao, Wu Yi Mountain’s,” Wang Yao replied .
“It can’t be those few plants, can it?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“They’re from those few plants,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Mingbao smacked his lips together and poured himself a cup . “Is there any left?”
“There isn’t much left,” Wang Yao said . “It was just a small box . It was stolen by Su Xiaoxue’s eldest brother . ”
“What? Stolen? From Minister Su?” Wang Mingbao was surprised .
“Yes,” Wang Yao replied .
Wang Mingbao raised his eyebrows . “Tsk . Why? Giving a gift to his future brother-in-law… Isn’t it the other way round?”
“He was injured . I saved his life, as well as his comrades . ” Wang Yao took a gentle sip .
“Isn’t saving a future wife’s brother a given?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Where do so many of your misconceptions come from?” Wang Yao laughed . “What about Teacher Han? Is she still working in that mountain village?”
“She’s pregnant, so it’s inconvenient it is for her to be there alone,” Wang Mingbao said . “I’ve tried persuading her in every possible way . She has finally agreed to come to work in our county . ”
