We all saw that it was an extremely huge snake. Due to the dim light and the swaying firelight, we only saw the first part of the snake. The snake's body was not much thinner than an eighteen-liter bucket of pure water.
The two snakes had red light in their eyes. It raised its head high, and between its closed upper and lower beaks, there was a forked tongue, one foot long. Behind it, a swaying shadow was reflected on the ceiling of the cave.
like a ghost
It seemed unsure as to why there was fire in this dark hole, so it hesitated to act.
General Ji and I didn't dare to move at all. A fishy smell hit our nostrils, which was nauseating. I couldn't stop trembling all over. I even thought that General Ji had heard the sound of my upper and lower teeth touching each other.
If I run, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up either
I looked at General Ji. He was lying between me and the snake, motionless. I knew that the snake found its prey by detecting infrared heat sources and sensing vibrations on the ground. At the moment, because of the burning torch, I
The heat signal emitted by General Ji's body was ignored for the time being, and General Ji was right not to let me move. We lay there, not daring to let out any air. How we hoped that guy would just wander around and leave.
This was a light yellow giant snake, almost white, with eyes like two white light bulbs embedded in its head. It crawled to a place two meters away from the torch, stopped, and kept its tongue.
Hesitating and sizzling, it arched its upper body into an S shape and swayed from side to side, causing the flames to flash left and right.
The ceiling of the cave is not high here. It seems that the snake is a bit unable to move here. The snake's head rubs against the ceiling of the cave from time to time, and there are broken sand falling down on the sandy ground.
If this goes on, there is really no way. Sooner or later, the torch will burn out. What should we do then? I was thinking wildly and noticed that General Ji's right hand was moving little by little. The amplitude was impossible to tell unless you looked carefully.
After about three or four minutes of touching the scene, I realized that his hand had already touched his arms, and I didn't know what he was going to do.
How could a snake be here? How could there be a snake here? My mind was racing. The temperature in this cave did not meet the conditions for hibernation. It was too hot. It couldn't sleep even if it wanted to. That means that at least in this cave,
Judging from the nearly two to three miles we walked, we didn't find any living creatures. If there were any, they could only count the thousands of people gathered on the cave wall.
Just a firefly
So can we say that in front of this cave, it is either connected to the outside world, or there is food for it in the cave?
No animal can survive without food. It has been half a day since General Ji and I entered this cave. It is almost noon outside. We still ate dry food before setting off in the morning. Now, our stomachs
It was already empty. Just now, after taking a dip in the cold water, my stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
General Ji still didn't move. Apparently, he also heard the sound from my stomach. However, the snake shook its head and turned to the direction where we were leaning. It turned out that the upper body that kept swaying did not move for a long time, only the snake.
The tongue, like scratching my face, made the hairs on my body stand up.
The pine oil dipped in the torch dropped to the ground, and the sound sounded like a drum to my ears. The fire is bright now, and I know that from this moment on, its brightness should slowly dim.
Got it
It's coming to us!
The outside of the snake's body kept scraping against the torch pole stuck in the ground. I was worried that by the time it crawled to us, the torch would soon fall over.
Time passed like a flash of lightning, but I thought of the sticky digestive juices in the snake's belly, and the oppressive feeling when my body slid through the snake's abdominal cavity. At this moment, General Ji stood up!
He almost bounced on the ground with his belly. At least before that moment, I had never seen a similar bounce. Before I could understand, General Ji was still in mid-air, and his right arm suddenly jerked.
Swinging, a piece of yellow mist instantly shot towards the snake's head. The snake was frightened by the unexpected situation in front of him, and involuntarily or reflexively arched its body, and the snake's head retreated upward and backward.
But this bow is also in the best position before attacking.
General Ji's movement in the air did not stop. He only saw a flash of white light. At some point, the sword was swung with a cold light from his right hand! And just now, I clearly saw him throwing something at the snake with his right hand.
I smelled sulfur
The sword was hanging in the wind, and I went straight to the snake's head. The snake's head had already tried hard to shrink back because of the fright. Now it has shrunk to close to the limit. It is impossible to hide anymore. I am still lying on the ground, so
In a short period of time, I couldn't react at all
When it had no choice but to hide, the snake swung its neck horizontally and turned the thick body behind the snake's head to one side, causing the wall of the cave to tremble, and the snake's head also turned to the other side.
I saw that the eyeballs without eyelids on one side were covered with a layer of yellow sulfur powder, and the knife wielded by General Ji with all his strength drew a beautiful arc, wherever the light of the knife passed
, a bloody light!
A foot-long crimson tongue detached from the snake's head, and a long piece of skin was cut off from the snake's neck. It hit the wall of the cave with a thud and bounced to the ground. A stream of snake blood carried a fishy smell.
The smell splashes on my face
The snake let out a long roar, which I actually heard. Snakes can also roar. I have heard the term "tiger roars and dragon roars" before. Could it be this kind of sound?
The back half of its body was in severe pain. In the cave in the distance, the walls of the cave were trembling. However, the cave was a bit narrow here. It wanted to get its whole body through, but it was impossible.
There was no time to think about it. After General Ji struck, he leaned forward, and with the inertia of the knife tip, he struck the cave wall on the left with a sudden sound, and a series of sparks appeared. The flames of the torch were also driven by the wind of the knife.
Twitching, jerking straight to one side
Just now, General Ji struck hard, but his momentum could no longer be contained, and the snake didn't know whether it was in unbearable pain, or it was intentional. The snake's head swung back and rolled General Ji's entire body onto the cave wall, and with a fierce blow.
Hit, bang, fall down hard
Although it has only been a short period of time, General Ji has already aroused a heavy respect in me. From his calmness as a person, to his loyalty to Tian Wang, and his perseverance in performing tasks, I sincerely admire him.
My body fell to the ground, motionless. I was filled with pride and anger. I threw the saber without a tip not far away from me. Today, either you will die or I will live. Even if you die,
With General Ji as my companion, I no longer had any worries and didn't think too much. At that moment, I strangely flashed Tian Hua's back in my mind. That was the only time I had seen her since I came to this time and space.

After this incident, I also wondered why I was thinking of Tian Hua instead of Wang Hua? Or maybe they are the same person?
Just when I was about to stand up, I suddenly found General Ji raising his right arm towards me and waving his wrist three times. At that time, he was lying on the ground, with his head tilted to one side and his face on the ground. How could he give it to me?
If I send such a signal, doesn't he know that I want to take action without looking at me?
I lay still and saw the snake turning its head sideways and looking at General Ji who was lying on the ground with its other eye. Its other eye was basically useless. This eye was spitting out anger and the light of revenge.
It made me shudder. I saw it open its big mouth full of fine teeth, bite the clothes on General Ji's back, and throw him up with a flick of his head. Before he could hit the ground, the snake's upper body jumped up.
He caught him diagonally, then spun him around, twisting General Ji's body.
