Chapter 22 Second Battle
Leaving the transport team.
Yu Ke drove straight to the location indicated by the positioning device.
Before leaving the herd, Yu Ke showed the King of Shocked Horned Deer how to activate the positioning device and put it in his mouth to indicate the location.
It turned out that the King of Shocked Horned Deer was more intelligent than Yu Ke expected.
At that time, it seemed careless, but it actually remembered all the information.
This can be proved by the constantly moving positioning light spot on the onboard computer.
This is undoubtedly good news for Yu Ke.
You must know that there are only three or five days left before the cold wave arrives.
It is foreseeable that there will be a blizzard covering the entire Mirror Lake Forest. Whether it is Yu Ke or any other creature, facing such a powerful force, it is extremely normal to reduce the frequency of activities or simply hibernate.
In other words, when that time comes, even if Yu Ke knows the location of the giant python, he will most likely not act.
There are too many accidents that may be caused by bad weather conditions, and he is unwilling to take risks.
It would be best if the problem can be solved before the blizzard comes!
The off-road vehicle sped along the empty forest road, and Yu Ke soon arrived near the forest area where the positioning device was located.
Noticing the stagnation of the light spot, Yu Ke thought that the Frightened Deer King might have started a battle with the giant python. He did not dare to hesitate, carrying the Leviathan Axe on his back, the quiver hanging diagonally on his waist, and holding a recurve bow, he ran into the forest.
After this period of high-pressure training, Yu Ke could feel the improvement of his physical fitness almost every day.
Relying on the recovery effect of the Wild Heart trait in the forest, the physical consumption of running alone has been greatly reduced.
Long-distance raids are no longer a problem.
Yu Ke even has time to pay attention to whether there are any startled birds above his head.
Perhaps it is the last struggle of late autumn. The weather in recent days has been particularly sunny. In the afternoon, the slightly warm sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and falls on the forest. The red and yellow dead leaves seem to be endowed with the beauty of the cycle of life and death.
Freeing his hands to open the chest camera, Yu Ke captured these scenes, and at the same time felt that what happened next should be very good video material.
According to the prompt of the watch, the positioning light spot was not far ahead.
Yu Ke also sensed the danger.
Considering the size of the giant python, Yu Ke did not choose to continue to move on the ground. He looked around and chose a nearby tree to climb up.
Previously, because of the heavy rain and fog, his vision was limited, and when he ran into the giant python, it had already occupied a high position.
Now the weather is clear and the vision is good, so Yu Ke naturally wants to seize the advantageous position.
The density of trees in Jinghu Forest is enough for Yu Ke to use branches as bridges, and the all-round improvement of his physical fitness also allows him to master balance when moving in mid-air.
He ran on the horizontal and oblique branches, and at the end he jumped out again, grabbed the vines hanging high with one hand, and swung forward. The smooth feeling made Yu Ke feel that if he roared twice, he could pretend to be Tarzan.
Looking far from a height, Yu Ke soon found the location of the giant python.
It was entrenched in a clearing in the forest. No, it was hunting!
The giant python's already huge body was coiled in one place, and its body with many scars was still twisting and wriggling. It was obvious that it had caught something and was using the iconic death coil when the python crushed its prey.
With the size and strength of this giant python, if the prey was trapped in it, the state of the prey would be almost equivalent to being crushed back and forth by a truck in all directions, and comminuted fractures would be the inevitable outcome.
Wait, that wouldn't be the Shocked Horned Deer King?
Recalling that the positioning light spot had not moved, Yu Ke was shocked. His plan was to hunt the giant python with the Shocked Horned Deer King. If the latter had been imprisoned and killed now, then his plan would have to be changed.
Without time to think, Yu Ke pulled out the few remaining explosive arrows from the quiver and drew his bow with a condescending attitude.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot out with a sound of breaking through the air, directly hitting the giant python's head, and an explosion followed.
Familiar explosion, familiar pain.
The giant python, who was still enjoying eating, almost immediately recognized who attacked him. In a rage, he didn't care about the food in his mouth. He stretched his body and swung his tail like a long whip magnified a hundred times, whipping Yu Ke.
Yu Ke, who had expected this, did not stop and jumped to the branch of another tree. Almost at the same time when his footsteps landed, the previous position was broken by the snake's tail, and the broken wood pieces flew everywhere.
Looking down, Yu Ke's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw the giant python raised its head, and the huge and ferocious snake head swung, and the wild boar that was half swallowed in its mouth and whose bones had been crushed was smashed towards Yu Ke's current position as a stone.
Although it was good news that the deer king was not hunted, facing the wild boar meat ball whistling like a cannonball, Yu Ke was forced to release the second arrow that had just been put on the string, and continued to jump to avoid it.
The huge meat ball hit the thick tree trunk, and the broken branches and meat flew behind him. Yu Ke locked his sight on the landing point nearby, concentrated his mind and turned sideways in mid-air, and fired two arrows directly at the raised head of the giant python.
The body hit the tree trunk to stabilize the forward momentum, and fell on another branch with the force. Yu Ke took a long breath and continued to move forward steadily to check the current situation of the giant python.
The power of the explosive arrow was really strong. With Yu Ke's archery skills, it hit the giant python's head one after another, shattering the solid scales and making it bleed and look particularly ferocious.
If the ordinary beasts were seriously injured, they would have lost their ability to move or turned around to escape.
However, the vitality of this giant python was extremely exaggerated. After several changes, its intelligence was not low, and its personality was even more violent.
First, it was interrupted from eating, and then it was repeatedly injured by Yu Ke, its old enemy. How could it retreat? It had to completely devour the monkey jumping on the tree here.
The scarlet linear vertical pupils and the black pupils of humans were opposite, both filled with murderous intent!
The huge python body was wriggling at a very fast speed, and the snake head sank and rushed forward close to the ground. Its target was the tree where Yu Ke was now. When it got close, it raised its head and began to climb at an astonishing speed.
A tree that was huge for humans was just a branch that it could climb at will in its eyes.
The nearly 15-meter-long python body was cruising around the tree trunk. It wanted to occupy the high point to avoid Yu Ke from shooting its head from a high position.
On the other hand, Yu Ke was also not slow. After noticing the giant python's thoughts, he decisively bent his bow and drew his arrow, and continued to aim at the python's head that was climbing upward.
Buzz~
The bowstring trembled, and the arrow shot out.
No matter how fast the giant python was cruising, it was not faster than the arrow that broke through the air.
This time, Yu Ke aimed at the giant python's eyes.
As long as it hit, this guy would immediately become a one-eyed snake, and the threat level would be further reduced.
The shot seemed to be a sure hit, but an accident suddenly occurred when the target was about to be achieved.
As if it had anticipated it, the giant python suddenly opened its huge mouth and sprayed a ball of yellow-green venom towards Yu Ke.
The arrow hit him straight in.
The explosives on the tip were immediately detonated by the highly corrosive pus and exploded in the air!
