【016】Cut the snake
The carriage crossed the lawn and stopped in front of a grove of trees.
Since the death of General Tupilhan in battle, a series of strange things have happened in the Tupilhan Gorge, and gradually no one dares to set foot in it, so the entire canyon is covered with luxuriant vegetation, and the carriage cannot pass through it at all, so it can only rely on walking to cross the past.
Zhang Sen and Einstein got out of the carriage, each with their bags on their backs, muskets and road knives in their hands, and went straight into the woods.
"Hey, you two are crazy?"
A fat man in a tuxedo will be not far from the two, and when he sees the two entering the woods, he immediately shouts loudly.
Zhang Sen didn't look back, but Einstein turned around, smiled at the fat man, and said, "We know what we're doing, thank you for the reminder." ”
He bowed slightly to the fat man, then turned to follow Zhang Sen.
The legend of Tupilhan Gorge is actually not new, it is nothing more than that people entering the canyon have entered and exited, and every day when General Tupilhan dies in battle, there will be a strange shouting of killing in the canyon.
The two walked and stopped, walked through the relatively safe woods, and officially walked into the canyon.
Einstein looked at the towering cliff next to him as he walked and exclaimed, "To be honest, I heard the legend of Tupilhan Gorge when I was a child, but I really didn't expect to come to this canyon myself one day." ”
"General Tubikhan, do you understand?" Zhang Sen cut a snake hidden in the grass in half with a knife and asked casually.
Einstein nodded and said: "Because of the legend of Tubikhan's Gorge, I have learned about the life of General Tubikhan, General Tubihan's full name is Buddha Worm - Tubikhan, his origin is very mysterious, according to the records I found, he was an orphan, and later killed General Bairens of the Kingdom of Kostong in the Battle of Hot Spring Valley, and only began to emerge after becoming famous in World War I, he had almost more than ten large and small battles in his life, but these wars were launched against enemy countries, and the only time was the time when he died, That's when he shot at a certain duke in the country. ”
"It's really pitiful to die at the hands of your own people in the end." Zhang Sen said lightly.
From Einstein's description, he can roughly guess the reason for the death of Dotu Bi Khan, either there are two people in his army or they have already been calculated to death, otherwise how can a veteran who has experienced many wars be so easily ambushed.
Einstein listened to Zhang Sen's words and sighed: "In fact, there are rumors in the kingdom that the reason why General Tupilhan was ambushed was actually betrayed by his most trusted students, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”
"Who knows." Zhang Sen said leisurely, after all, the truth of history always likes to hide in various rumors and historical materials, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
At this moment, a river appeared in front of them, and beyond this river was a real canyon area, like a basin, with towering trees almost comparable to the cliffs on both sides, and it looked like a sea of forests.
The two had already prepared, cut down a nearby tree to build a single-plank bridge over the river, Zhang Sen tied his waist with a rope, and then tied Einstein at the other end of the rope, and then he crossed the bridge first, and then Einstein came over carefully.
"It's so exciting, I almost fell off just now." Einstein came down from the single-plank bridge, wiped the mouth on his forehead, and said with a flushed face.
Zhang Sen said calmly while untying the rope: "Even if you fall, I can use the rope to pull you up." ”
The two of them tidied up on the shore and continued on their way, but as the trees became denser, they moved much slower, and they needed to use a road cutter to clear the way, and their neat clothes began to get dirty.
"Stop!"
Zhang Sen walked and walked, suddenly stopped, and motioned for Einstein to stop as well.
The two of them stood motionless as if they had been frozen, occasionally hearing the sounds of birds above them, and nothing else.
Albert Einstein wondered, "Mr. Hemerway, what's the matter?" ”
"We're being targeted by something, and the animals around us are a lot less vocal." Zhang Sen said solemnly.
Surrounded by dense jungle, at first he could faintly hear the sound of animals walking in the grass, but gradually this sound began to fade away, replaced by excessive silence, and the sound of birds in the sky was a little abnormal, although still crisp, as if to warn his own kind of danger here.
In fact, many birds have special warning methods, when they see danger, they will stare from a distance, and constantly alert other people of the same kind.
Zhang Sen noticed that the sound of the birds above had changed, and he immediately realized that danger was approaching.
He held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and his eyes looked around at the grass around him, which he could not name, growing taller than a man, and the dense grass was the hunter's best cover, and he looked around without seeing where the danger was coming from.
"Mr. Hemerway, is there really something, why can't I see it?" Although Einstein tried his best to keep his composure, it was really too quiet here, and Zhang Sen's solemnity made him feel that the atmosphere was tense, so he himself became nervous, and his forehead was unconsciously full of sweat.
Zhang Sen said solemnly: "Don't talk, don't get distracted." ”
The two of them froze in place for a full ten minutes, and Einstein finally couldn't stand it anymore, he gritted his teeth and raised the musket in his hand to shoot directly into the grass.
This shot was like a signal to launch some kind of attack, and a thick and fat snake came out of the grass in an instant, and the quadrangular head was extremely terrifying, and it instantly opened its bloody mouth and bit Einstein.
But at this time, Zhang Sen made a move, the same shot, the bullet instantly hit the eye of the big snake, the big snake was in pain but more ferocious, as if he wanted to deal with Einstein first, and then deal with Zhang Sen.
Einstein can be described as 'discolored' at this time, instinctively raised his hand to block the big snake, just the road knife in his hand to block the big snake's fangs, because of the impact of the big snake, he then sat on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Sen's knife happened to slash over, and instantly fell on the skull of the big snake, but the skull of the big snake was unexpectedly hard, and Zhang Sen failed to split the head of the big snake with all his strength, but his own knife stuck on the bone.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Sen found that the big snake was staring at him, and quickly took a step back, and at the same time pulled out the Western sword he was hanging from his waist.
This is not the Western sword he found in the captain's room before, but a good sword specially customized for him by Einstein, because when Einstein first saw him, he used a Western sword, so Einstein thought that he was good at using Western swords, so he spent a lot of money to get a better one.
He held a sword flower with a Western sword, but the big snake didn't know how to be afraid, and directly used his huge body to run it all the way, Einstein rolled on the spot to avoid crushing, and Zhang Sen turned around to easily avoid it, and then the Western sword stabbed at the soft place of the big snake, and blood splashed for a while.
But at this moment, the grass was suddenly pushed away by another black shadow, and the next moment, the same big snake came out of the grass and attacked Zhang Sen directly.
Two of them!
Zhang Sen's face was solemn, and he avoided the attack of the big snake with difficulty, but his body was hit by its fat body, and he fell directly to the ground and rolled over, half kneeling, and did not forget to slash with his hand, directly cutting off the end of the tail of the second big snake.
Although the big snake is very difficult to entangle, Zhang Sen is not a vegetarian, and in terms of rich combat experience, these two beasts will not be able to catch up with him for decades of training.
If it weren't for the fact that the weapon wasn't sharp enough, such a big snake would have been able to kill with one sword.
At this time, the two big snakes turned their heads at the same time and stared at Zhang Sen condescendingly, and the bloody mouth exuded a disgusting fishy smell.
The body of the big snake is not long, Zhang Sen visually estimated that it is about four meters at most, but their body is very fat, about the same as the waist circumference of a fat man.
Einstein trembled, his hand could no longer hold the gun, he didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying monster on the first day he entered the canyon, no wonder there have been explorers entering the canyon in the past, but in the end, there are no entrances and exits, it is estimated that all of them have entered the belly of the big snake.
Now he can only pray that Zhang Sen can deal with these two big snakes, otherwise today next year may be his death day.
It was still the big snake that struck first, and the two snakes crossed in an instant, attacking Zhang Sen from both sides, and the sharp fangs had even dripped green venom, as long as it was stained, it was estimated that it would be over.
Zhang Sen avoided it, and went straight to the challenge, the Western sword stabbed accurately, and the other eye of the big snake that was hit by a bullet in one eye was also stabbed, it suddenly fell into darkness, the instinctive head leaned back, and the body S-shaped crazy twist, Zhang Sen took the opportunity to drill through the gap and roll, the Western sword pierced into the soft place of the big snake, and the small Western sword was used by him as a chop-horse-knife, and a drag knife was slashed, and the big snake was suddenly cut in the abdomen with a huge opening, and the blood burst out, and the blind snake suddenly fell to the ground in a languid. Apparently not long to live.
At this moment, Einstein was completely stunned.
What a show-off!
He felt that Zhang Sen's swordsmanship was too beautiful, and he was overwhelmed by the way he could transform freely, and in a blink of an eye, a big snake was easily solved by Zhang Sen.
At this time, another big snake found that his companion was seriously injured, and immediately turned his body to attack Zhang Sen, but how could Zhang Sen, who had already discovered the weak point of the big snake, be injured.
He avoided the big snake's blow, and then the Western sword gently cut between the hard and weak parts of the big snake's skin, and directly explained to Einstein what is the solution of the cow, no, this should be called Zhang Sen to solve the snake.
No matter how the whole big snake struggled, Zhang Sen walked around the big snake, and the Western sword was always able to fall in the most suitable position, and gradually the snake skin of the big snake was peeled off, and then the flesh of the whole body was cut off, and only the skeleton was left when he died.
"That's all for tonight's dinner."
Zhang Sen swung the blood beads on the Western sword and returned it to the sheath, and then said to Einstein, who was full of admiration.
