Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling waited with bated breath, but within a few seconds "Old Itch" rushed out, followed by a giant python.

The giant python was very big, with black scales all over its body. It was spitting out snake letters and staring straight at Lao Itchy with a pair of golden vertical pupils.

Lao Itch jumped onto the bronze tree regardless, and when he found Tan Yuchen and the two of them, he shouted: "Help me, two little brothers!"

Tan Yuchen watched with cold eyes, pulled Zhang Qiling and jumped onto a branch below, waiting for the python to hit him.

The impact of the python was huge. It hit the bronze tree with a "thud" sound, and the branches that were hit were bent a lot.

Of the four, except for Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling, who stabilized themselves, the other two were knocked down by the impact.

"Ah-ouch..."

The innocent screams went from near to far, and finally fell into the water with a splash.

Zhang Qiling threw a cold firework and went down to check the situation. It was no longer a stone slab but water from nowhere, submerging the bronze tree roots.

It looks like it should be pretty deep.

"Old Itchy" was luckier than Wu Xie. His fall was blocked by the tree trunk, and he was still holding the tree trunk tightly and motionless.

Tan Yuchen and the two jumped down a few more steps. At this time, half of the giant python's body was wrapped around the bronze tree, spitting out snake letters and looking at Tan Yuchen.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally "Old Itchy" broke the balance. The giant python ignored them and went straight to "Old Itchy", as if it wanted to put him to death.

At this time, Wuxie also got up from the water. The water came in from nowhere and was still rising. Wuxie struggled to swim to the bronze tree and climbed up to temporarily protect himself. Get out of the water.

"This thing seems to be only interested in Lao Itch." Qin Yuchen didn't dare to relax for a moment while holding the black knife. The impact of the giant python made the entire bronze tree shake a little, and the rocks swept by the big tail were instantly smashed into pieces. fragments.

If this is the case, then they don't have to fight head-on. Instead, they can use "Old Itch" to hold the giant python back so that they can find a way out, or so Qin Yuchen thought.

Zhang Qiling nodded, obviously understanding what Qin Yuchen meant, but just as he was about to jump off, "Old Itchy" came in their direction.

Qin Yuchen's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Lao Chu with eyes that could eat people.

The giant python's head hit again, and the two used the impact to jump away from the impact point. Tan Yuchen glanced at Zhang Qiling, and held the knife and went straight to "Lao Itch" who was crawling down.

"You two brothers, those who can do the hard work." Lao Chi grinned when he saw Qin Yuchen coming towards him. He fired a shot at Qin Yuchen with his pistol, then let go without hesitation and dropped it.

Qin Yuchen dodged sideways and threw the black knife out with a cold face. Lao Itch had no time to react and was pierced by the black knife and fell into the water.

Wu Xie's face turned pale with fright at this sudden turn of events. He looked at the blood-stained turbid water and couldn't find what to say for a moment.

There was another "plop", and it was Qin Yuchen who jumped into the water. He pulled out the black knife from "Lao Itch"'s body, came to Wuxie and said:

"Go into the water and find your way."

"……it is good."

Wuxie jumped into the water again, and Tan Yuchen also climbed up the tree to help Zhang Qiling.

The water wouldn't come out of nowhere. It was probably caused by the heavy rain outside, which caused the water level of the underground river to rise. It came in through the connected gaps or passages, so it might be a good idea for them to go out and follow the underground river.

The giant python started to attack blindly without a clear target. Zhang Qiling jumped on the giant python's head and inserted a knife straight into the giant python's skull, but the scales on the giant python's body were like hard armor and made a harsh sound.

The giant python hit the rock violently. Zhang Qiling's expression changed and he immediately jumped away. He took out a signal gun and shot the giant python in the eye.

The signal bomb exploded in the air, and the giant python felt hot in front of its eyes, screaming and charging towards Zhang Qiling.

Tan Yuchen pulled Zhang Qiling away and fired another flare at the python. This time the flare exploded in the python's mouth, and the hot white light caused the python's entire head to emit green smoke.

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, loaded the gun again, and Wuxie was shouting from below. The two looked at each other and jumped down.

The giant python was burned everywhere by the sudden fire, and the originally calm water surface was now filled with splashes of water caused by the falling rocks crushed by the giant python.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling dodged the rubble and fell into the water. Wuxie was floating on the water, gesticulating blindly, and saying that there was a huge passage through which they could pass.

They were about to leave, but unexpectedly the giant python also fell into the water and extinguished the fire on its body, then opened its huge mouth and bit the three of them.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling each held Wuxie by one hand and dived into the water and swam toward the passage...

-

At first, the countercurrent made the three of them expend a lot of energy. I don't know how long it took, but the three of them experienced free fall twice before falling into a very calm river.

After Wuxie was dragged ashore by them, they went down the mountain non-stop. It was raining now, so they had no place to rest and could only continue on their way.

"What kind of snake is that?" Wuxie could see the fire burning underneath. He had never seen any snake that could burn so quickly.

"Zhu Jiuyin." Zhang Qiling replied.

"No wonder." Wuxie muttered.

Zhu Jiuyin, also known as Zhu Long, is one of the mythical beasts in ancient Chinese mythology. It is said that many emperors in ancient times would use blood to draw Zhu Jiuyin out, and finally use it as a candle.

That's why the giant python can immediately burst into flames when it encounters fire.
