Altar of Infinity

Thank you for your puzzlement.

In the middle of the night, it's not about exchanging information. Do you want to look at the stars and the moon?

He asked, "What else?"

Ran Yuanfei: "Couldn't it be too early to chat with Brother Xie?"

It's not impossible...

Anyway, idle is idle, Xie Ji plans to chat with Ran Yuanfei for a while.

Before he could open his mouth, Jiang Jichu's figure appeared on the other side of the road.

"Thank you for posting." Jiang Jichu called out.

Xie Ji had no choice but to bid farewell to Ran Yuanfei: "The handsome guy in our team called me, let's talk another day."

Ran Yuanfei watched Xie Ji leave reluctantly, with an increasingly sad expression on his face.

And Xie Ji didn't see anything, only the young man standing under the light in his eyes: "Why did you come out, it's windy at night, your injury is still not healed."

Jiang Jichu directly forgot what he wanted to say, and was still rolling around in the snake pile together in the afternoon, and it didn't take long for him to become a weak and pitiful little boy again in Xie Ji's eyes.

He suddenly felt a little headache.

It is estimated that the mention of his parents made Xie Ji think a lot.

Xie Ji gathered Jiang Jichu's coat together: "Is it really uncomfortable?"

Jiang Jichu was just a little more afraid of the cold than ordinary people, so Xie Ji was sweating so much, he swore to guard his collar: "The missing couple hasn't come back yet, Chen Cun called on the villagers to help find someone."

Once you disappear after entering the checkpoint, the possibility of surviving is very slim, but it is really rare for villagers to help find someone.

Jiang Jichu said again: "Your brother and Si You have already gone to help, are you going?"

Xie Ji: "Let's look for it, in case it's still alive."

Thirteen people were divided into groups, and they searched for the missing couple together with the villagers of Chenjia Village.

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu were looking for someone in the forest to the west with flashlights on.

After nightfall, the temperature in the mountains and forests was lower than during the day. Jiang Jichu secretly pulled down the zipper of his coat, with Fuxiu on his head and soft rotten leaves under his feet. Both the touch and the smell were uncomfortable.

Xie Ji: "Just now Ran Yuanfei told me that after the village chief's wife disappeared, the red boa constrictor would occasionally come to the village to eat people."

Jiang Jichu: "Maybe she is the boss."

Xie Ji: "It's possible, but I don't know what her purpose is. We ate the red fruit, and Chen Cun will guard against us. We have to let Xie Quan and Si You go to Chen Cun's place to set the pattern, or we find opportunities to break into private houses."

Jiang Jichu: "Others plan to help get rid of the red python tomorrow. Chen Cun was very moved when he heard that, and plans to pick a few young and strong youths to go with him."

Xie Ji estimated the strength of both sides.

"If the villagers could kill the red python by themselves, they would have done it a long time ago. Among our people, Siyou is the most powerful one, and Siyou will not help with all his strength. Unless there is a hidden master, otherwise they will not be able to kill that one. python.

"We will not participate in the hunt for the red python tomorrow. Chen Cun sent us a lot of blessings yesterday, but the villagers are very wary of us, which means that they can confirm our camp with the naked eye or instinct.

"What's more, we ate the red fruit, and it is logical to not go.

"While they are looking for the red python, let's search Chen Cun's house. I saw a girl in the morning, and I will go to see her by the way, so that I can confirm my thoughts."

Jiang Jichu had no objection to the arrangement, basically he would do what Xie Ji said, he was completely a competent high-end thug.

They walked in the woods for nearly an hour and found no trace of the missing couple. It was past ten o'clock and they were about to head back home.

When they stepped out of the woods, they saw flames gathering towards the east.

Jiang Jichu: "It should be found."

Xie Ji had a bad feeling: "Go and see."

They ran all the way to the cliff, and the villagers and passers-by gathered around the edge of the cliff and looked down.

"It's so miserable, one is gone, and half of one is left..."

"It must have been done by the red python below, so let's just say it's not a good thing!"

"What about the corpse? Can it be retrieved?"

"There are red snakes at the bottom, the only red snakes in the whole mountain are biting people, do you dare to go down?"

The first time Xie Ji and Jiang Ji arrived, the others didn't respond, but the villagers seemed to see something dirty, and all moved out of the way in disgust. Even Chen Cun, who was always enthusiastic, didn't want to talk to Xie Ji.

"Brother, you are here." Only Xie Quan and Si You came up to meet him.

Xie Ji didn't care about other eyes: "What's going on?"

Xie Quan pointed to the bottom of the cliff: "The person is gone."

The cliff is very deep, and the broken upper body can only be vaguely seen by several flashlights.

It's the man in the couple.

And the woman was missing.

Xie Quan whispered: "The villagers all said that they were pulled in by the red python."

Xie Ji thought it was impossible: "The couple still had lunch, but they disappeared in the afternoon, and the red python was dealing with me and Jiang Jichu in the afternoon, so there was no time to eat them at all."

Xie Quan analyzed it, if it wasn't done by snakes, it could only be done by humans.

Cannibalism is generally prohibited in the checkpoints, and no one has any grudges against the couple, either they killed themselves, or...

He looked around at the villagers surrounded by the canyon, and suddenly felt that this man was vicious, that man was not a good person anyway, so he couldn't help leaning towards his brother again.

Xie Ji lost his eyes in the crowd, he and Jiang Jichu were the ones who went the deepest into the west forest, so they should be the last to arrive.

But if one couple is removed from thirteen people, there should be eleven left, why are there only ten now...

The ominous premonition grew stronger, Xie Ji: "Have you seen that little girl named Han Mei, the one with the high ponytail?"

"I didn't see it," Xie Quan looked at Si You, "Did you see it?"

Si You also shook her head: "Another one is missing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a scream from the north.

"what--!"

It's Han Mei!

Xie Ji rushed towards the place where the screams sounded.

When he arrived, he happened to see a giant purple python about the same size as the red python.

The color of the purple python is darker than that of the purple snake, and it is closer to black. Fragments of moonlight sway on its wet and slippery body with the wind, like thin streams.

And Han Mei's half body was held in the purple python's mouth, she grabbed a tree and shouted for help.

Xie Ji made a quick decision and shot Zi Python in the eye.

Just as the purple python blinked, the bullet blasted a hole in its left eyelid, and a large stream of thick black blood spurted out from the wound. It closed its eyes tightly and opened its mouth wide in pain, and Han Mei quickly crawled out.

Xie Ji didn't wait for Zi Mang to react, he shot two more shots between Zi Mang's eyebrows.

The purple python is huge, the two spears penetrated into the flesh and blood, but they didn't have much effect.

Xie Ji pulled Han Mei who was running over, and the two turned around and ran out of the forest.

The purple python became vicious and roared to chase after it. It smashed countless Fuxiu trees, and when it was about to catch up to the murderer who injured it, a cold light came from the sky, and a deep deep line was drawn straight down from the top of its right eye. mouth.

It shook its body in pain, and the ground shook continuously. Jiang Jichu didn't bother, drew his knife and jumped back to Xie Ji's side.

Xie Quan and Si You also rushed over, seeing the purple python swaying in place, Xie Quan was so frightened that he jumped up a few centimeters from the spot: "Oh my god! Such a big python!"

He opened the backpack and handed it to Xie Ji: "Brother, after I heard that there were many snakes, I asked the village chief for realgar powder, but this thing is too big, do you think it will work?"

The purple python stared at the bloody eyes, and suddenly opened its mouth wide to bite Xie Ji.

Xie Ji pushed Xie Quan to Si You with his right hand, grabbed the backpack with his left hand and threw it into Zi Python's mouth.

Most of the realgar powder went into the purple python's stomach, and the ones scattered in the air hit it in the face.

If the little snakes had been poisoned to death a long time ago, it would be foolish to talk about toxicity regardless of the dosage. This realgar only made it shake more violently.

It looked up to the sky and screamed, and the purple snakes rustled their heads from the grass and trees. Their bodies were deep purple, and the night became the best concealment color where the flashlight could not reach.

Xie Ji looked at his gun, then at Jiang Jichu's long knife and Siyou's dagger. With their equipment, he didn't know how long it would take to fight the purple python, let alone in the dark woods. Purple Python also has a group of purple snakes as helpers, they...

They have a girl who just sprained her ankle and a silly, sweet and rich second generation.

He handed Han Mei to Xie Quan: "Let's go! Jiang Ji and I have eaten fruit for the first time! Don't come with us!"

Jiang Jichu brandished a long knife to cut a narrow path towards the place where the number of purple snakes was the least, and ran away with Xie Ji.

The snake group refused to give up and followed closely behind them.

Xie Ji played a role as a long-range shooter at this time. He didn't have to turn his head very much. Most of the time, he only relied on listening to the sound to identify the position before shooting bullets behind him with his backhand.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

He can shoot through several snakes every time he shoots, but there are too many purple snakes, and if two snakes die, four will make up for them.

Xie Ji complained while running: "It's not a normal world, why can't the gun be innovative, such as be able to spray fire or something?!"

Jiang Jichu: "It's good to have it! You still have to choose!"

Unlike the individual Niukuyin, Murderer, and funeral parlor corpses that are limited in number and space, there are too many purple snakes to count, and they are so small that they cannot attack effectively at night.

Even if they hid in the house, maybe the snakes would surround the whole house and climb all over the windows, which would be even more terrifying.

But when they ran out of the forest, the purple snake retreated back, and the purple python had long since disappeared.

They were not careless, and ran in the direction of the guest house for another 5 minutes before stopping.

Xie Ji turned his head to look at the deep woods.

You can't be so passive anymore, they won't chase them out this time, not necessarily next time.

With the adrenaline soaring, he was extraordinarily calm.

The girl I met during the day, the villagers following Jiang Jichu and Siyou, the red python and the purple python, only half of the corpse left in the canyon, Han Mei who was almost swallowed by the purple python, Chen Cun's missing wife, tomorrow I will hunt down the red python... …

Xie Ji: "Are you sure Si You can fight?"

Jiang Jichu: "It's just a little worse than me. Our direction is different, she is more suitable for... stealth, sneak attack and so on."

Xie Ji nodded, he didn't explain much, and Jiang Jichu didn't ask too much, the two went back to the guest house together.

The smell of Fuxiu and the blood of the purple python lingered in his nostrils, making him feel nauseous, but this reaction did not affect his thinking, and even pushed him to plan more carefully.

Before entering the guest house, he glanced back at the peaceful Chenjia Village.

Sometimes, the most hateful thing is not the boss.
