Chapter 55: A giant python that survives the thunder tribulation?

"It just... was praising us? It's amazing!"

"That's so arrogant, as if he treats us as servants! How funny, haha."

"This deer is very spiritual! It's extraordinary, really extraordinary!"

"I've been watching the mountains for so many years, but I've never seen such a miraculous deer... I would believe it if you said it was a lucky animal!"

As the black deer disappeared, the rustling sound in the bushes quickly faded away.

The people present were slow to recover from the shock.

Just because of this contact, they felt that this deer was more extraordinary!
It also couldn't help but think of Lin Nan who had brought it thousands of miles to meet him...

For such a spiritual deer to be so close to him, this man must have some abilities!
After watching for a long time, we confirmed that the black deer had entered the forest.

Section Chief Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the forest ranger Old Yan:
"Okay, that's about it."

"Let's put it in the woods for observation for the time being. Please keep an eye on it."

"Report if you have anything else. We'll be leaving first."

"Don't worry." Forest ranger Old Yan nodded in response.

Immediately, the Forestry Bureau staff got in the car and left.

The bright car lights gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

In the vast mountain forest, only this forest ranger's duty room had the lights on.

Outside the lampshade of the incandescent lamp, a few moths and other small flying insects were fluttering and dancing.

Under the cover of night, the forest ranger Old Yan wrapped up his clothes and said to Xiao Ma beside him:

"Did you hear clearly what Section Chief Gao said just now?"

"I heard it clearly, Master." Ranger Xiao Ma nodded.

"Hmm..." Old Yan showed a satisfied expression on his face and continued, "You are my apprentice, so you should practice more. This task will be handed over to you in the future."

"Every day when you go up the mountain to patrol the forest and prevent fires, you must try your best to find the traces of the deer, record them, and then compile a report."

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the ranger Xiao Ma let out a long sigh.

Immediately, his gaze drifted to the place where the black deer disappeared.

Looking at the quiet and deep dense forest and the vast nature reserve behind it.

In this huge forest, it’s hard to just find a deer!
Not to mention tracking and recording its whereabouts every day?
It's easier said than done!

Hearing Xiao Ma's surprised voice, the forest ranger Old Yan clicked his tongue and frowned:

"Ah for what?"

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense! Who is the master between us?"

Forest ranger Lao Yan threw a winning shot and then walked towards the duty room with his hands behind his back.

Only the pony was left there, like an eggplant hit by frost.

After standing there for a long time, he sighed quietly and followed with his head down.

……

"Squeak..."

The noisy chirping of cicadas is intertwined in this dense forest.

At the same time, the lush bushes made rustling sounds.

As a few branches were trampled and broken, the moonlight shone through the mottled shadows of the trees.

Several furtive figures appeared in the forest.

They avoided surveillance all the way and chose to enter the protected area at the most remote location.

As they groped forward, the figures gradually revealed their full appearance.

These are three men, all wearing windbreakers and carrying hiking bags.

He was holding a powerful crossbow in his hand and a quiver filled with crossbow arrows hung around his waist.

The leader was carrying a shotgun on his back!
Looking more closely, blood was seeping from the bottom of the backpacks on the three people's backs.

Obviously, they were a group of poachers who came prepared!
"Cuckoo..."

Just then, a cry suddenly came from not far in front of the three people.

Hearing the noise, the three of them immediately hid themselves and approached the front with extremely light movements.

After walking for a distance, I saw a bird standing alone on a patch of grass not far away.

Its head is reddish-brown and its neck is encircled by a circle of white feathers.

Under the moonlight, the feathers all over its body are shining.

When they saw the bird, the three of them immediately exchanged glances.

One of the younger men immediately pulled out a crossbow and put it on the string.

Aim the crosshair of the crossbow at the bird.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, the sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air was heard!
In this silent night, it was like a death talisman.

The bird didn't even have time to react before it was pierced through by the crossbow arrow and fell to the ground.

Seeing the arrow hit the target, the three of them ran over in small steps.

He picked up the seriously injured bird on the ground, pulled out the crossbow arrow and recovered it.

Looking at the bird, one of them seemed a little disgusted and said, "Why is it this again... When can you get some big stuff?"

As the poacher muttered in disgust, the middle-aged man with a hunting rifle in the lead quickly pulled out a dagger!
The sharp cold light, shining brightly in the moonlight, was particularly dazzling.

When he saw him holding a dagger, the man who had been feeling indignant just now swallowed and quickly lowered his head.

Then, the leading man glanced at him coldly, then went up and snatched the bird in his hands.

With a swish sound, the man skillfully cut off the bird's head.

He threw it aside, handed the bird that was still bleeding to the other party, and said in a deep voice:

"No hurries?"

The leading man asked another person, "We have stepped on the spot several times. Have you found anything?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately responded: "Brother Mao, don't worry, there must be a python on this mountain!"

Then the man explained to the two men, "Two lightning bolts struck here a few days ago, but not a drop of rain fell!"

"Rumors have spread around the area, saying that this is a powerful python that is about to survive a thunder tribulation."

"And if we can find a decent python in the mountains, we will make a fortune!"

"Tear it down, sell it, and you'll have enough to live on for the rest of your life!"

Just as the poacher said, they came here not only for rare animals.

He also had another purpose, which was to find a python in the mountains.

Perhaps a python is not worth much to poachers.

But once you give it special value, for example, this python once caused a thunder calamity...

Then, it will be priceless!
Of course, this is all bragging. They naturally know that it is impossible for a python to really survive a tribulation, but with this statement, they can sell it for a good price.

As for this so-called "thunder catastrophe", it is indeed mysterious. They have heard a lot of legends recently, and still can't figure out what the two thunders are specifically about.

With this purpose in mind, the three poachers continued their action.

Their whereabouts were not fixed, and they searched all the way up the mountain as the sky gradually brightened.

The surrounding mountains and forests became greener under the rising sun.

One of the poachers looked around, as if he was worried about encountering something, and asked the leading man:
"Brother Mao, there are forest rangers in this forest. We don't want to run into them, right?"

When the leading man heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes and said:

"What are you afraid of? We have guns!" "Whoever dares to block my way to wealth will be shot with a bullet!"

"Susususu..."

Just as the leading poacher was uttering harsh words, a rustling noise was heard from the bushes ahead.

It seemed like something was moving not far in front of them.

And judging from the direction of the sound, that thing seemed to be approaching them!

"Shh~"

Seeing this, the three poachers immediately became alert, kept silent and exchanged glances with each other.

They wondered if it was the ranger of this nature reserve.

But the sound kept changing positions at an extremely fast speed, and it didn't sound like the sound that could be made by a ranger running in the forest at all.

"Could it be some kind of wild beast?"

With these guesses in mind, the two poachers holding crossbows felt slightly delighted and put arrows on their crossbows.

Here, encountering a forest ranger is much more terrifying than encountering wild beasts.

The wild animals cannot defeat the fully armed poachers, but the rangers can tip off the hunters.

The leading man also took off his shotgun from his back and listened to the sound coming from the front, which was getting closer and closer to them.

Even the bushes in front began to shake violently.

Just as the three poachers held their breath, prepared to fight back.

"Shh!"

The next second, a huge black shadow jumped out of the forest!

"This……"

The moment they saw the black shadow, the expressions of the three poachers froze instantly!
They widened their eyes almost at the same time, as if they had forgotten to breathe!
The creature that suddenly jumped out had a pair of long and narrow horns on its head, shaped like lightning.

The black hair on its back appears colorful under the morning light.

Such a huge figure rushed out from the forest at a high speed, and even jumped several meters high, as if it was going to ascend to the sky!

That heavy-looking muscular body actually passed over the heads of the three people!
The three poachers only felt a gust of wind blowing above their heads, which made their cheeks hurt and their eyes could hardly be opened.

On the other hand, the black shadow did not seem to notice that three people suddenly appeared here. He glanced at them very smartly and then ran towards the outskirts of the natural scenic area.

At this time, the three poachers were all staring at the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

A poacher recalled what he had just seen and couldn't help but mutter in surprise.

"Am I seeing things? Was that... a deer?"

Just as the poacher saw, the black shadow that just jumped out of the forest was naturally the black deer released into the nature reserve by the Forestry Bureau.

Due to the Guiyuan Spring Thunder Seal that Lin Nan cast on it, and stimulated by the blood left over from ancient times, the black deer was constantly moving closer to the mythical beast, the Black Qilin.

According to historical records, the Black Qilin under the seat of Thunder Ancestor Tianzun has great magical powers.

Not only can he summon thunder and lightning with his horns and call the wind and rain, he can also speak human language.

In this way, this black deer has become extremely intelligent and can communicate with Lin Nan's thoughts.

I just don’t know how long it will take to completely stimulate my bloodline with the help of the Thunder Seal.

When the black deer parted with Lin Nan yesterday, he was already able to understand Lin Nan's words of comfort.

I heard Lin Nan say that they were not far away and could meet at any time.

So, after Black Deer got familiar with the environment in the mountains, he planned to go back to find Lin Nan.

It just so happened that Black Deer also found a remote location and wanted to go down the mountain towards Lin Nan, but he happened to encounter this group of poachers.

At this moment, the three poachers were greatly surprised by the sudden appearance of the black deer.

As poachers, they roam in the mountains and forests all year round.

During this process, I naturally saw various kinds of wild deer in the mountains.

But even though they were well-informed, they had never seen such a special deer...

How could he leap about three or four meters off the ground with just one leap?
What's more, the deer is so big that it doesn't look light at all.

But the fact happened right before their eyes, and they saw it clearly!
For a moment, the three poachers looked at each other in bewilderment and could not help but exclaimed:
"Was that really a deer just now?"

"Why do I feel like it turned back and glared at us as it walked away!"

As these words rang out, the three of them recalled the look that the deer had just turned back and glanced at them.

It really doesn't look like an ordinary wild deer in the forest, it clearly looks like the gaze of a person!
Thinking of this, the poacher who shot the crossbow arrow earlier couldn't help but take a breath and said:

"Hiss... I heard from the older generation that the mountain gods sometimes transform into animals in the forest to punish those who disrespect the creatures in the mountains!"

"That deer just now, could it be..."

The poacher nearby heard the voice and immediately responded:

"What did I say? This place must be evil!"

"Now it seems that the two lightning strikes that day might not be a coincidence!"

Just as the two hunters were talking more and more weirdly, the leader, Big Hairy Brother, spat.

"What the hell, find it for me!"

"What mountain god? Next time I see it, I'll destroy it just the same!"

The few people did not dare to say anything more, knowing that as poachers, if there really was a mountain god, they would definitely suffer retribution. Fortunately, it was just a joke, and no one took it seriously, and then continued to walk into the mountain.

……

"Phew... Damn it, I finally finished the run."

Yanhai University, in the early morning sunshine.

The freshmen had just finished their morning run, and Wang Chengyu was standing with his hands on his waist, gasping for breath.

He couldn't stop complaining, "Oh, this is really weird. We finally don't have classes in the morning, but we still have to get up early to go for a morning run."

"How long will this kind of life last?"

Hearing Wang Chengyu's complaints, Jiang Tao seemed to have found out something in advance and said:

"It won't be long. I want to join the sports department. I've contacted the seniors there and they said freshmen run in the morning and have to run for the whole semester."

As Jiang Tao spoke, his words seemed to carry some regret about the short time for his morning run.

On the other hand, Wang Chengyu, who was standing aside, suddenly heard the bad news, and his two green bean-sized eyes widened.

"What? I have to run for a whole semester?!"

Wang Chengyu screamed out loud, his face looking half dead.

Finally, after being comforted by the two, he reluctantly accepted this fact.

Then, Wang Chengyu asked Jiang Tao curiously, "Sports Department? Why did you go there for no reason?"

"If you have that much free time, you might as well just lie down in the dorm or do a live broadcast with Brother Nan."

"Really?" Jiang Tao smiled when he heard that, and said meaningfully, "But once you join the sports department, you can supervise other freshmen's morning jogging."

"If it's my turn to supervise one day and someone is not feeling well, they can ask me for leave and rest on the sidelines, right?"

"Should I blanch it?"

As Jiang Tao finished speaking, Wang Chengyu was stunned.

Just now, he scoffed at the idea of ​​him joining the Sports Department.

But in the blink of an eye, Wang Chengyu's attitude took a 180-degree turn!

It turns out that not only is Lin Nan his bread and butter, but this person is also his backer!

Thinking of this, Wang Chengyu immediately changed his words, clasped his hands and said, "Foster father! What I said just now was a bit harsh!"

After a few jokes, Jiang Tao turned around and asked Lin Nan, "By the way, what about Lao Lin? Have you ever thought about joining a department or club?"
