Chapter 1409 Otherworld (124)(1/2)

The head of this python is as big as a washbasin. It can be imagined that if it opened its mouth, it would be a real bloody mouth. At this moment, the giant python was slowly moving on the big tree, spitting a letter in the direction of Booktonlin.

The hissing sound that Booktonlin heard just now was the sound of the python spitting a letter, or the sound of the python rubbing against the bark when it moved.

Booktonlin had seen pythons when he was performing jungle missions before, but this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying python. This python was more than ten meters long, and its huge body even the branches as thick as the arms that had passed were broken.

Booktonlin's actions attracted the attention of others, and soon the members of the Black Mamba Guard walked in front saw this terrifying snake.

"Captain, do you want to attack?" Nandegrad stared at the giant python that day without blinking, and the submachine gun in his hand had already pointed at the head of the python.

"Wait a minute." The reason why Booktonlin dared not attack easily was because he suspected that the giant python did not exist alone and that there were probably accomplices. Once the giant python was attacked, it might attract more pythons and cause unintentional disasters.

But it is obvious that this giant python has sensed the existence of the scientific expedition team.

The python just spitted a letter at Booktonlin, which made people feel scared when it saw it. In fact, it was using its tongue to sense the surrounding environment. The snake stretched its membrane-covered tongue to the air to capture the particles floating there, and then retracted the tongue and stuffed it into a special groove at the top of the mouth. The odor was analyzed and then passed to the brain in the form of an electronic signal to make a judgment on the surrounding environment and prey.

Pythons have very poor vision, but they rely on temperature sensing organs known as "vision correctors". These organs allow pythons to sense the temperature emitted by other animals, thereby accurately capturing prey. There is a temperature sensing organ on both sides of the python's head, so pythons can not only sense temperature in breadth, but also in depth, so that they can accurately capture prey on completely dark nights. This ability is fatal. As long as you emit temperature, you will not escape the hunting of pythons.

The temperature sensing organ on both sides of the snake's head is two small depressions covered by rubber-sized diaphragms. The working principle is similar to that of a pinhole camera. The sensing organ reflects infrared rays emitted by nearby prey onto the inner diaphragm, thereby turning blurred spots into clear images. The diaphragm of a python is like a pinhole camera film, and the pinhole camera projects light onto the film to form an image.

Suddenly, the python's head stretched forward and opened its bloody mouth at the same time. The stinking stench made Booktonlin feel dizzy. Just when Booktonlin was about to be bitten by the python, he pulled the trigger, which was an instinctive reaction.

Unfortunately, the Buctonlin's submachine gun bullet hit the python's body, but did not stop the python's offensive momentum. The python's bloody mouth was about to bite Buctonlin's head.

Just as the python's teeth were about to touch Booktonlin's hair, with a "bang", the python's head seemed to have lost balance, and it fell heavily on the ground, and its body then slid to the ground, lifting up countless leaves.

It turned out that it was the sniper Wu Yongqiang who took action. He was ready when the giant python was staring at Booktonlin. The moment the giant python attacked, he adjusted the angle slightly and pulled the trigger.

The giant python just hit the front of Booktonlin. Booktonlin fell back in fear and fell on the soil full of dead leaves.

Nandegrad immediately ran over, helped Booktonlin up, and asked with concern: "Captain, are you okay?"

Booktonlin was still in shock and could not say a word for a long time. At that moment, he had seen the long letter in the python's mouth. The smell wrapped around him was about to suffocate, and he almost felt the fear of death.

Seeing the python falling to the ground, Lima Oda also ran over. She touched the scales on the python in surprise and felt the temperature on the python's body.

Pang Xiaonan also rushed to Booktonlin's side as soon as possible. Although he saw the giant python just now, he was observing whether there were any companions around him. He activated his spiritual consciousness to detect other dangers, but only discovered this giant python. By the time he retracted his spiritual consciousness, the giant python had already launched an attack.

Pang Xiaonan pulled Lima Oda and shouted: "Be careful, the snake may not die!"

After saying that, Pang Xiaonan turned on his spiritual consciousness to explore the aura of the giant python, but he found out that the giant python was indeed dead.

"It's dead." Pang Xiaonan released an authoritative news.

Lima Oda quickly walked from Pang Xiaonan to the giant python, took out a magnifying glass and carefully studied the giant python's body.

Totecchasky also walked over tremblingly and squatted beside the giant python.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Lima Oda asked for the tutor's opinion.

"This is a prehistoric python..." Totecchasky stretched out his right hand and trembled as he touched the scales of the python.

"Is this the legendary Titan Python?" Oda Lima looked at Totek Chasky with a consultative gaze.

"There is a 90% chance." Totecchasky took out his handkerchief and wiped his turbid eyes. Although the giant python was dead, the stench on its body was still strong.

Booktonlin has recovered from his fright. Although he was a little out of control just now, it was a life-and-death moment after all. It was nothing to him who had experienced too many such moments. He was awake in just a few seconds.

He walked to the python's body, kicked the python's body, and asked, "What is the Titan python?"

Totekchaski coughed twice and said, "Titan pythons belong to the pythons, the largest known snake species. They are like the product of amplifying modern pythons. Such large temperature-changing animals must survive at least at a temperature of 30°C to 34°C. Therefore, the assumptions of high temperatures in the neotropic world of the Paleoeconomic neotropic world are consistent. The average body length of Titan pythons can reach 12 meters and weigh more than 1 ton. These two figures are enough to illustrate their terribleness. Their food is 4.57 meters long, half-ton blunt nose crocodiles, 3.05 meters lung fish, and some large contemporary tortoises. Titan pythons were extinct nearly 58 million years ago."

The pungent stench made Booktonlin recall the thrilling scene just now. He walked away two steps. Oda Lima added: "They may be another creature that dominated Hallelujah after the extinction of dinosaurs. The prey includes alligators, big fish, etc. In addition to the evidence that Titanpyra and crocodile live next to each other, the confrontation between snakes and crocodile descendants further reflects the natural enemy relationship between these two reptiles. Because Titanpyra is a snake, it is a thermogenetic animal. This discovery also implies that the tropical areas they lived in at that time were warmer than researchers originally estimated, with an average temperature of

32℃, only such a climate can make snakes grow so big. After the climate warms, although the size of mammals has decreased, cold-blooded animals like reptiles have grown bigger. Some people found a giant snake fossil of a Titan python in the fossils from the Paleoenix to Eocene, which is almost close to a bus.”

At this time, Pang Xiaonan walked over, looked around vigilantly, and asked, "Can the meat of this giant python be eaten?"

Lima Oda glared at him and said, "It's time, I still want to eat."

"How can I get on the road if I don't eat enough?" Pang Xiaonan disagreed. These scientific expedition team members have not eaten meat for many days. If they continue like this, everything in the jungle should be treated as food.

"Don't think about eating it for now," Booktonlin frowned. When he thought of eating this smelly guy, he felt a surge of acid in his stomach. "We have enough food, so it's better to hurry up and hurry up."

At this time, all the scientific expedition team members gathered around, looking at the huge python corpse, and covering their noses at the same time. When Pang Xiaonan said he wanted to eat this guy, some of them were already disgusted and vomiting sounds one after another.

"Everyone, go around the python corpse and continue to move forward!" Booktonlin returned to his thoughtful majesty. "Also, all members of the Black Mamba Guard, I ordered that whenever I saw unknown creatures approaching, they would open fire immediately!"

Booktonlin almost killed himself by his kindness just now, so now he could no longer believe that there were kind creatures in the jungle. First of all, he assumed that the other party was hostile to attack.

Lima Oda took out the camera and took pictures of the Titan Python. She brought two cameras, one digital camera and the other traditional film camera. Because she made preparations because all the electronic devices in the Bloss disc might fail.

Bridge Morgan also came to take pictures. He saw the camera in Lima Oda and smiled and said, "It seems that we are really destined to be. You brought the camera, and I also brought the camera."

Pang Xiaonan, who was standing next to him, took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the Titan Python, and used the front camera to take a photo of himself and the Titan Python, and even made a "yeah" gesture in the photo. He turned his head and said to Bridge Morgan, "Who is still taking photos with the camera now?"

Lima Oda was a little funny about Bridge Morgan's way of chatting with him, especially after Pang Xiaonan appeared, Bridge Morgan was also very embarrassed. Lima Oda said: "I originally wanted to collect biological samples, but some creatures are too big, so I can only solve the problem by taking photos."

The 19-person team continued to move slowly in the jungle. Lima Oda told Booktonlin: "We must be careful that there may be rivers or lakes or swamps ahead, because there should be water sources where Titan pythons appear."

Sure enough, after walking for about ten minutes, the group saw a large river, with a width of twenty or thirty meters.

The river water flows quietly, but there is no hurry. The water and grass along the river banks are lush, more than half a person tall.

The river water is relatively turbid and the situation in the water cannot be seen clearly.

Booktonlin frowned. The river was a bit like a river in a tropical rainforest. If that was true, the danger in the river was no less than that in the jungle.

Lima Oda helped Totekchaski to the river, "Be careful, teacher." Lima Oda stopped about two or three meters away from the shore.

Totecchasky stretched out his neck and looked into the river, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lima Oda asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you think there are piranhas in this river?"

Totecchasky turned his head, and his tight brow showed a hint of worry, "It's not just a piranha, but judging from the titan python we just met in the jungle, there are only crocodiles, pythons and other deadly animals in the river."

Wu Zhen walked to Booktonlin, pointed to the river and asked, "Captain, should we cross the river or go up the river?"

Booktonlin put his hands on his hips, and he was also thinking about this question. After thinking for a long time, he shouted at Buenosky: "First mate, come here!"

Buenoski walked quickly through the grass with a submachine gun and arrived at Buctonlin, "What's the matter, captain?"

"Look at the direction, what is the opposite bank of the river, and what is the upper reaches of the river?" Booktonlin was thinking, evaluating whether to cross a river or not, whether to choose safety or to take a shortcut.

Buenosky took off his watch and calibrated the direction to the sun. Then he said to Booktonlin: "Captain, the other side of the river is the same as our entry into the jungle, that is, keep walking and can go directly into New Bloss. The upper reaches of the river are the direction perpendicular to the direction we enter the jungle. Of course, it is not certain whether the river has diverted before."

According to Buenosky, if you want to go deeper into the hinterland, you must cross the river. If you go up along the river, you may not enter the interior of NeoBlos and then you will reach the edge.

But the river in front of me was very wide and I couldn't see the situation under the water clearly. If I force crossed the river, I didn't know what danger would happen. Especially when I experienced the Titan python before, Booktonlin was still scared. Maybe another or a group of giant pythons lurked in the river, waiting for prey to come to me.

For safety reasons, Booktonlin made up his mind, "Everyone, we walked up the river and saw a suitable place to cross the river and then found a way to cross the river."

So, led by Booktonlin and the first mate Buenosky, the group slowly walked upstream of the Net River.

"Everyone be careful of the grass around you to prevent snakes or other unknown creatures from being in the grass!" Booktonlin shouted loudly. The road along the river was not easy to walk. There was a dangerous river hidden on the left, and a deep grass on the right. I don't know what creatures would appear in the grass.

The scientific expedition team was walking four or five meters away from the shore, while the Black Mamba Guard was walking on the land side of the grass to protect the scientific expedition team from being ambushed by biological ambush in the grass.

Lima Oda said to Totekchasky: "Teacher, do you think this place looks like a tropical primitive jungle?"

Although Totecchasky was old, his legs were still swollen and his speed was not inferior. He nodded, "It's a bit of that, but the plants and animals here are older than the primitive jungle we saw before!"

"Teacher, slow down, we still have a lot of ways to go, you need to save your energy." Lima Oda carried a heavy backpack with various equipment inside, and she had to take one step at a time.

"Haha, Lima Oda, don't worry about me," Totecchaski turned around and looked at Lima Oda, slowing down a little. "Don't forget that you went with me to inspect the world before, but I have been at the forefront."

"I can't catch up with you..." Lima Oda gasped, watching the science master who was older than her stepping forward in front of her, leaving herself far behind.

The higher you go, the higher the height of the grass, and the unknown grass will be over the waist of the scientific expedition team. Booktonlin turned around and shouted again: "Be careful, the height of the grass is getting higher and higher, and be careful to prevent dangers in the grass."

At this moment, a series of frog sounds came over and Bucktonlin stopped alertly, stretched his right hand behind him, and raised his palm to signal everyone to stop.

Everyone also heard the sound of frogs, and they all slowed down and raised their ears to the sound of frogs. This was the first time that everyone had seen a small animal since they entered the jungle.

"How big do you think these frogs will be?" Wu Yongqiang asked Zhao Guifei beside him. He felt that since he entered the Bloss disc, they were all big guys, and the frogs in the jungle should not be much smaller.

"It should be as big as a bullfrog, right?" Zhao Guifei and Wu Yongqiang had similar ideas. The creatures here are not much smaller, and at least they will not be smaller than those in other places.

The frogs were screaming louder and louder, as if the frogs were moving towards the scientific expedition team. Booktonlin shouted nervously: "Be careful, everyone!"

Although frogs are beneficial insects, in the Bloss disc, nothing can be calculated according to common sense. Perhaps the frogs here are fatal.

The frog sound had surrounded the Black Mamba Guards. All the team members felt that there seemed to be many frogs approaching, but no one knew where the specific location was, and within their eyes, they did not see any frogs.

"Don't move!" Oda Lima shouted loudly, "Frogs can only see moving objects, they can only attack moving objects, and they generally do not attack creatures larger than themselves."

Everyone was shouted by Lima Oda and didn't dare to move. A group of people stood there like a group of puppets, because everyone knew that the danger of this new Bloss should not be underestimated, and they might lose their lives if they were not careful.

Although he was standing still, Professor Li Sanming, who was not far away, was talking to his assistant.

"Professor, standing like this is not a long-term solution." The assistant thought Oda Lima was a little sensational. She should not stay motionless just because she was surrounded by a frog.

"Don't move for now, just wait and see what's going on." Professor Li Sanming was knowledgeable. This kind of frog in the tropical rainforest is likely to be a poisonous frog.

"I don't believe that a frog can threaten our lives." The assistant still felt that everyone was a little stupid when standing like this, so it would be better to try walking forward.

"You must not act rashly. You would rather believe in the existence of it than not. Are there few evil things here?" Reverence of nature is Professor Li Sanming's long-standing concept. In his long-term outdoor work, he has encountered many phenomena that cannot be explained by science.

Booktonlin, who was in front of the team, was also talking to the explosioner Davao Khan Khan. "Davao Khan Khan, be ready to throw the grenades and blow up these uninvited guests."

Booktonlin thought that there were so many frogs that could not be beaten with bullets. Although he didn't know what kind of frogs there were, he just could approach the scientific expedition team because they could get close to the scientific expedition team. This was creepy. Ordinary frogs would not take the initiative to approach humans.

The only way is to use a grenade or bomb to attack a piece of frogs first, see what the frogs are from, and pick up at least a few corpses of frogs, let Oda Lima study and see if it is harmful to humans, so that she can have a clear idea.

"Yes, captain." Davao Khan agreed and went to get the grenade hanging around his waist.
