Good job!
This is definitely one of the best mimicry animals Wuming has ever seen.
But now is not the time to be amazed, he knows very well that the giant snake wants to strangle him, it will be really dangerous if he doesn't break free.
He chopped at the giant snake's scales with his knife. The giant snake shrank quickly, and he chopped back quickly. Both sides did their own thing, but the space in between was getting smaller and smaller.
This giant snake has a long and flat body, and is unexpectedly huge when it puffs up. Compared with traditional snakes, its abdomen is not soft. Instead, it has a layer of black chitinous hard shell, which seems to have the function of expanding and hardening and contracting and softening.
Just now, Wuming saw with his own eyes a stone on the side of the road being crushed by the snake, so it would be useless to cut the giant snake's belly with a knife.
And because those scales are transparent, when they are inflated the inside is like a balloon, which may serve as a breakthrough point.
Sure enough, after some random hacking, one of the scales broke. Wuming immediately held the knife with both hands and used the tip of the knife as a nail to directly insert into the snake's body from the crack. The giant snake forgot to shrink its body in pain, but raised its head and made a hissing sound, then twisted its body wildly.
When it raised its head, it immediately brought Wuming into the air, at least four or five meters above the ground. Wuming held the handle of the knife tightly and looked around quickly, looking for a suitable jumping point.
On the other side, Ni Hongye had been looking for an opportunity. When she saw the giant snake raise its head in pain, she felt that the opportunity had come. Sure enough, the giant snake twisted its body instinctively. She seized the opportunity and immediately shot the dart in her hand.
The eyes of this giant snake were not like those of an ordinary snake. Instead, they were like the tentacles of a snail, which could be retracted as well as extended. At this moment, they retracted because of the pain.
When it twisted its body, one side of its body was facing Ni Hongye. A dart was instantly shot out from the direction of Ni Hongye, bursting one of its eyes on the spot.
After two setbacks, the giant snake suddenly lost its will to fight, and its body began to shrink into the soil. Wuming took the opportunity to fall to the ground and roll. Looking up, he saw the giant snake's body shrinking back into the soil, and quickly disappearing along the long bulge behind the soil.
Wuming took a breath, and Ni Hongye immediately stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Master Wuming, are you okay?"
"It's okay, but what the hell is that thing? It's a snake, but it also looks a bit like a mollusk. It's a mollusk, but it also looks a bit like a snake." Wuming shook his head and said in surprise as he looked at the direction where the bulge disappeared.
Ni Hongye shook his head and said, "There are all kinds of strange things in the universe. There are too many creatures that I have never seen. Maybe it is a creature between a snake and a snail."
"Then call it Snail Snake? It doesn't sound good, Snail Snake?" Wuming said, touching his chin.
He suspected that the village might be the shell of the snail snake. After the snail snake discovered them, its body extended from the village to this side...
"Forget it, let's go back. Now we can finally have a good sleep." Wuming didn't think about it any further. After all, the mission was important, and they couldn't go back to see if the ghost village was the shell of a snail snake.
They had been chased by the ghost bride for three nights and now they just wanted to have a good sleep. Nothing could be done until they had a good night's sleep.
When Wuming and Ni Hongye were walking back, the audience outside had already started discussing.
