Tianmen Gorge is two short mountains standing side by side on both sides of the Guanjiang River. The stone cliffs on the banks are abrupt and rugged. From a distance, the front is narrow and the back is wide, like a big bucket that collects the water from the upper reaches into the gorge.
In the mouth.
The owner of the boat arrived more than half a mile outside the mouth of the canyon and said he didn't want to go any further. Chen Zining didn't embarrass him. Seeing that the stone cliffs on both sides of the canyon were pedestrian-friendly, he stepped ashore.
At this time, the big ship sailing in front of them had lowered its sails and was sailing slowly in the middle of the river. It was about half a mile away from them, which was within the scope of Tianmen Gorge.
Du Tao said: "These four people don't really want to lure out the giant bull-headed python, do they?"
"Look! Those two men are holding bows and arrows in their hands. They want to hunt this giant python with the head of a bull." Miao Shufang's sharp eyes saw clearly what was going on on the boat.
"Just two bows and arrows? I'm afraid they are looking for death." Yu Xiaoling obviously thought that the four people were unwise. The python-like spiritual beasts were firstly flexible and secondly tough, so it was difficult for weapons such as bows and arrows to be effective.
"Maybe there are other tricks." Meng Xue guessed.
"Let's take a look further." Chen Zining was also curious and walked along the river bank.
When they were fifty feet away from the ship, Chen Zining stopped next to a huge rock. Although he was not afraid of anything, he had to think about the other four people.
At this time, a man who was a model boatman on the ship stood on the deck and poured a wooden bucket into the river. Judging from the color, it was obviously blood or something like that.
After pouring out the blood, just as the boatman was about to retreat, the boat suddenly shook violently and the four young men lost their footing. The boatman even fell off the bow of the boat and fell into the water.
went.
The boatman was naturally good at swimming. As soon as he emerged from the water, he hurriedly swam to the side of the boat and shouted for help. Someone on the boat stretched out a bamboo pole to him. The boatman grabbed it and climbed up.
Just when his hand grabbed the guardrail, there was a "swish" sound on the water surface, and a huge black shadow emerged from the water, sweeping the boatman down. Afterwards, in addition to some bubbles and blood stains on the water surface,
Then there was no movement.
However, just as the black shadow emerged from the water, the two men holding bows on the boat shot two arrows, hitting the target! And when they hit the target, the arrows suddenly exploded, leaving two holes in the black shadow's body.
At this moment, some people did not even see the specific appearance of this monster. They only knew that it was very big, which could be seen from its body as thick as a bucket.
"This is the ox-headed giant python? It's so powerful!" Du Tao opened his mouth wide and didn't think about it for a long time.
"The python is injured." Chen Zining saw the two exploding arrows.
"What kind of arrow is that?" Yu Xiaoling had never seen it before and asked casually.
Du Tao thought for a while and said: "It should be a specially made Dan Fire Thunderbolt Arrow. Only the Yuyang Zhao family can make it, and it is rare outside."
"I'm afraid this explosive arrow alone won't be able to do anything to this giant python." Miao Shufang also said.
The injured python seemed to be angry. It quickly emerged from the water and slapped its tail on the side of the ship, opening a hole in the hull and allowing the river to flow in.
"This ship is almost finished." Chen Zining and others thought in their hearts.
The two men holding the bows were really impressive. Their reaction was almost divine. In the blink of an eye, they shot two more arrows, wounding the giant python.
The giant python hit the gap in the hull again with all its strength, smashing one side of the hull to pieces. The ship began to tilt. Six or seven boatmen had given up repairing the ship and gathered on the deck, holding each other in their arms.
The boat was only about ten feet away from the shore, but all the boatmen did not dare to enter the water to escape, and could only pray for God's blessing.
When the ship was about to sink to the deck, the ox-headed python finally took action, emerged from the water and pounced on the four people standing on the deck.
The two flaming arrows left the string, but this time the giant python was prepared. It twisted violently to avoid the incoming arrows, and its momentum remained unabated. It exposed its two-foot-tall body on the water, opened its huge mouth, and shot towards
When the four of them came, a fishy smell hit their faces.
"Looking at this momentum, this giant python is not a third-level spiritual beast." Chen Zining said.
Only then did everyone really see the appearance of the bull-headed python. Its head really looked like a bull's head, with two short and thick right horns. If the head was just exposed on the water, people who didn't know would really think it was a bull-headed python.
A cow stayed in the water.
Just when Chen Zining and others thought that the four people were dead, the woman in green raised her hand and shot a golden ball towards the python's mouth. Just when the ball was about to fall into the python's mouth, the cow's head
The giant python suddenly sprayed out a black poisonous mist and hit the ball squarely.
"boom!"
There was a loud explosion, and countless golden flames spread out in all directions. The giant python that was closest and bore the brunt was lifted high by the flames and air waves, and then fell heavily into the water.
All the people on the boat were thrown into the water, and the buildings on the boat began to burn. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"This is bad!" Chen Zining and the other five people said in their hearts. They could see clearly from a high place that although the giant python was seriously injured, it would not die with the vitality of the fourth-level spiritual beast. It would even become even more furious. On the ship
Everyone fell into the water, almost powerless to fight back.
Sure enough, before the people in the water could swim ashore, countless waves arose under the water. The boatmen who were left behind screamed and were pulled into the water, apparently losing their lives.
In the end, only the four young people and the three boatmen swam to the shore and ran upstream. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and thought they had escaped, they heard a "swish" sound on the water and a giant python rushed up.
They reached the shore and chased the seven people!
