wandering planet

The winged snake's nest is very large, and it is completely different from what they imagined.

Song Junxing said that the nesting habit of winged snakes is very similar to that of eagles, but would eagles choose such a crack to make their home?The three of them hid in the cave on the opposite side of the mountain wall, grabbed some plants with a strong smell from nearby, broke off the branches and leaves and daubed them on their coats to cover up their smell.

The bottom of the valley is full of boulders, which is very convenient for them to move. Jiang Che took out a folding shovel to distribute, and the three began to make preparations.

When everything was ready, he began to quietly approach the lair where the winged snake was.

They don't dare to approach the climb rashly yet.

According to previous observations, they found that the winged snake will have a falling movement when it leaves the nest and takes off.This may be because the body of the winged snake is too heavy, and it will be pulled to the ground involuntarily before it can fly.This moment will last for a few seconds, and then the wings of the winged snake will flap at high frequency, pulling up the heavy body and flying away.

The moment the winged snake leaves its nest, they will shoot it with hunting rifles.The hunting gun carried a thick rope, pierced deeply into the body of the winged snake, and directly pulled the winged snake to the ground with the help of the original downward trend.

It is best to be able to directly suppress its ability to act.If not, at least it can limit its take-off, gain opportunities for the next action, and increase the success rate.

The three of them finally reached the bottom of the lair.The wide crack was just above their heads.

Jiang Che stuffed the binoculars into his backpack and signaled Linney and Ovid to find their own positions.Only when the hunting gun is fired from both sides at the same time will the possibility of success be greater.

Ovid and Linney nodded, moving cautiously to the sides.

At this moment, Ovid's foot suddenly clicked, Lin Ni was startled, and quickly raised his hand to Ovid to stop his movement!

Ovid stopped immediately when he stepped on something under his feet.

The faces of the two were pale, Qi Qi looked down at Ovid's feet.

Jiang Che was puzzled, and asked silently: What's wrong?

Ovid also answered him silently: mines!

Jiang Che stayed for a while.He didn't panic in his movements, but suddenly felt that his hands and feet were a little soft.

How could there be landmines here? !There are no traces of human activity on the Nini at all!

After confirming that there was nothing suspicious about the land around him, he lay down carefully.Linney signaled Ovid not to move, while he grabbed a dead branch beside him, carefully cleaned it under Ovid's feet, and turned on the headlight at the same time.

Soon, a gray-black object the size of a fist emerged from the soil.

Jiang Che's heart was pounding.It was a mine, he knew it was a mine.On Earth 500 years ago, he had seen such landmines buried in shallow ground in various TV and movies.

What Ovid stepped on was a trigger switch, and with the "click" just now, the lead wire of the mine had fallen off.

How to do how to do?Jiang Che looked up at Ovid, who was also looking at him.

"No...not mines," Linney said suddenly.

"It's a landmine. I've seen it before." Jiang Che took his words, "This appearance and size——"

"This is not Marseille's landmine." Lin Ni interrupted Jiang Che, and said in a low voice, "Marseille's landmine design is not like this, the shell and switch are not like this. There have been mines."

Ovid turned to look at Linney: "500 years ago...was it left by those 17 transport ships? How did it appear here?"

Jiang Che and Lin Ni looked up at the crack occupied by the winged snake at the same time.

It was too big and too obtrusive.On this complete mountain wall, it seems to be a deep wound formed by the impact of some kind of extremely fast and huge object.

Jiang Che thought of Song Junxing and Cicero, and recalled that under their direct or indirect guidance, they had discovered the old ships in Greia F and Virgil respectively.

Linney made a judgment: "The service life of the old mines is at most 150 years, and they have already failed. Ovid, stand up, nothing will happen."

Ovid nodded and lifted his foot carefully, little by little.

No matter how the weight of the mine changes, it never explodes.

Ovid was already in a cold sweat. He leaned against the mountain wall and said something Jiang Che couldn't understand.

He guessed that Ovid was scolding God.

"That crack may have been formed by the impact of the transport ship. There may be other weapons and parts scattered in this valley." Linney pointed to the crack and whispered, "If the Winged Snake didn't clean up the crack, We might be able to find transports in it from the retreat 500 years ago."

Jiang Che's heart suddenly became excited.

This was the first time since he woke up that he felt something related to him.

Even if he can't communicate, at least he can still touch the companions who left the earth with him and Jiang Mu and embarked on a journey.

Linney adjusted his equipment, and Ovid found their respective positions.

"Just wait now..."

Before the words fell, a strange and hoarse cry suddenly came from above his head.

In the cold radiance of Michelangelo II, a wide shadow burst out from the crack, and was pulled to the ground by gravity the moment it left the nest.

There was no communication, and no one made a sound.

Linney and Ovid raised their guns at the same time!

Jiang Che turned his head and ran towards Ovid.

The winged snake began to flap its wings.First hit, second hit.

Two sharp hunting arrows shot out from the muzzle of the gun with a loud noise, and flew towards the Winged Snake at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye!

At the moment of flapping its wings for the third time, the winged snake suddenly let out a sharp cry of pain.

Ovid's hunting arrow pierced it seven inches!The arrow's barb burst immediately after entering the flesh, causing even more pain.And at the moment of bursting, the arrow deeply embedded in the winged snake's body opened at the same time, and the eight barbs were tightly clasped on its flesh and skin, firmly fixed.

But unexpectedly, the hunting arrow shot by Lin Ni did not stop after stabbing the left wing of the winged snake.With a rope, it pierced through the winged snake's wings and flew straight in Jiang Che's direction!

The sudden pain caused the Winged Snake to lose strength in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

"Jiangche!" Linney and Ovid shouted at the same time.

Jiang Che rolled on the ground, first grabbed the hunting arrow that was rushing towards him, then grabbed another rope that Ovid gave him, and threw himself at a boulder at the bottom of the valley.

A hole was dug next to the boulder, which was dug out by Jiang Che and Ovid during the preparation work.

Jiang Che threw the hunting arrow and the rope into the deep pit, and immediately ran behind the huge boulder, desperately pushing the boulder into the pit!

In the other direction, on Linney's side, he was doing the same work.

Two dull bangs sounded one after another.

The boulder fell into the pit, driving the ropes and the arrows of the hunting arrows deep into the ground.

The winged snake was finally pulled into the valley. It swung its head and tail, struggled desperately, let out a shrill cry, and kept beating its broad wings.

Jiang Che stood close to the mountain wall, even so, his head and face were hit several times by the small stones thrown up by the Winged Snake when it was struggling.

Linney and Ovid kept jumping up and down while avoiding the attack of the huge monster and stones, and continued to shoot hunting guns at the winged snake.The lights on the headlamps of the two of them fluctuated chaotically, and Jiang Che could hardly catch their traces.

After all the 12 hunting arrows were fired, the valley was in a mess, and boulders were filled into the pit one after another, pressing down on the ropes of the hunting arrows.

The Winged Snake was suppressed from all directions by 12 ropes, and blood dripped all over his body.It still has the strength to struggle, but it can no longer take off.

Jiang Che sat on the ground in disgrace.His heart was beating extremely fast, as if he had run a thrilling marathon.And the two energetic seed players sat slumped on top of the boulder, dazed in the dusty soil all over the mountains and valleys.

All but a few minutes.At the risk of mortal danger, they finally brought down the enemy they had never seen before.

While the winged snake was struggling, it kept hitting the mountain wall with its tail. After it stopped, the three of them suddenly heard a thin cry.

With the sound of chirping, two winged snakes nearly two meters fell from the crack and fell on their mother.

This is not a snake at all!Jiang Che still didn't dare to move: he could tell that this was a winged snake that had just broken its shell. Although the feathers on the wings were not yet full, their size was still too large.

Lin Ni was the calmest. After seeing the two little snakes falling down, he immediately waved his hands to urge Jiang Che and Ovid: "I guess there are only two of them. Let's go up first."

Although the mountain wall is steep, it is not difficult to climb.The mountain was full of potholes eroded by rain, snow, wind and frost. The three of them carefully chose a less steep hillside and gradually approached the crack.

There was silence in the crack, and there was a faint pungent smell coming out.

The three climbed very slowly.Nini's night was very short, and when it was about to approach the rift, Michelangelo, the golden-red No. [-] star of the Sirius planet, had already begun to rise into the sky.

The closer you get, the clearer the stench and the smell of rotting meat.

None of them wore masks, so they could only hold their breath or cover their mouths and noses with their palms.When Jiang Che turned his head to take a breath, he found that under their feet, two small winged snakes were lying on the backs of the winged snakes, and began to eat the meat of the winged snakes.The winged snake has not yet fully breathed out, and occasionally the wings or tail will move a few times.The little winged snake eats so fast that two deep holes have appeared on its back.

Jiang Che felt a little nauseous, turned his head quickly, and continued to follow Lin Ni towards the crack.

"The carnivorous ants are too fast, aren't they?"

Lin Ni stood at the entrance of the crack, rubbing his palms and shoes on the mountain wall, and he has already climbed up now?

There was indeed a nest in the crevice.

This is a nest made of various tree trunks.There are also three snake eggs inside, each half a meter in size.

"It seems that the two snakes have been out for a few days, and they grow really fast."

Ovid seriously patted the carnivorous ants that started to climb up the three intact eggs, picked them up, and pushed one in front of Jiang Che: "This one seems to be quiet."

"Yeah." Jiang Che nodded, and gave him a rope, asking him to tie the egg first, and carry it down later.

Both he and Linney were more interested in what lay deep in the crack.Turning on the headlamps, they found that there was indeed something in the depths, reflecting light coldly in the lamps.

As they went deeper, both mentioned empty eggshells.There are one or two small holes on the eggshell, which are leftovers after the carnivorous ants gnawed through the eggshell and sucked the egg white protein in it, maybe it was thrown here by the winged snake.

"...It's really not easy to be able to hatch." Jiang Che said.

Linney walked ahead of him and didn't listen carefully to what he had to say.He not only turned on the headlights, but also turned on all the small lights on his wrists.

"Jiang Che, are these Chinese characters?" Lin Ni asked suddenly, "Fang Fangzheng... I seem to have seen it in the class of human history, but I don't know it."

Jiang Che was startled, and hurried to his side: "Where?"

Linney illuminated a metal plate in front of him.

In the depths of the crack, the wreckage of several ships was crowded together.

On the piece in front of Lin Ni, there are two clear Chinese characters: Chang Yang.

Jiang Che opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word.

He shook the lantern in his hand, and threw himself in front of the metal plate, pressing on the word "Chang Yang" with trembling hands.

"Yes, it's Chinese characters...it's Chinese characters! Changyang...it's the Changyang ship." He said with difficulty, "It was one of the 36 ships sent by my motherland in the 'Great Retreat'. "
