[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

"Look, that monster has appeared again." The observer wearing a camouflage uniform and holding a binoculars leaned behind a big tree and pointed to the people around him.

"Nonsense," his companion obviously disagreed with the term "monster", "he is obviously a human being."

"He's not. He refuses to be helped by people. He's a wild man, if he's a man."

"..." His companion looked up and continued to peek.

"Attention!" The observer whispered to remind his companion, adjusting the focus of the telescope, "A snake, on a tree. He has this trick, and he is especially good at dealing with snakes."

Sure enough, the guy leaned his back against a tree with a snake stalking him on the trunk.The situation was dangerous - but the man just turned around and seemed to "hiss" something at the reptile swimming up to his neck.The snake, which was not too small, immediately gave up its plan to attack him. Instead, it raised its front neck and swayed in front of him as if dancing, spitting out letters from time to time.Then, the snake wrapped itself around the branch, turned around and climbed up the big tree.

"What are they doing?"

"Who knows... look!"

The snake crawled back to where it had been—it stretched out its neck toward him and opened its mouth—and it actually brought the man two eggs.The man naturally reached out his hand to take out the gift from the snake's mouth, then "hissed" something, and touched the snake's head.The snake shook its body, then crawled away, looking very satisfied.

This guy is able to talk to snakes!

Every lurking observer found that this guy was very close to snakes, and seemed out of tune with all other animals and humans.He lives alone in the forest, almost dependent on the snakes to provide him with various animal food, the most common being bird eggs.When the snakes are gone, he will gobble up these delicacies raw.

The cause of the matter is that recently, a bipedal upright walking primate appeared in this forest.The animal walked with a gait very similar to that of a human, with bare skin, long black hair on its head, and even some leaves and rags hanging on its body, everything was so close to humans.It has no fixed rest time and can act both day and night.

The villagers who first spotted him naturally thought of him as a poor explorer lost in the forest.But when they came to the mountains and tried to help him, he always refused, said something inexplicable to them, sometimes pointed at them with a branch, yelled those strange phrases, and often pulled his legs Flee into the jungle.A few days later, when the feature of this animal's frequent communication with various snakes was discovered, this inaccessible forest on the border line attracted more and more savage investigators of different nationalities.Every night, at the tented camp several kilometers away, discussions about the animal species intensified.

"What shall we do now?"

"Wait. They should be here soon."

The animal was still standing there, busily cracking open the egg that the snake had brought him with the trunk so that it could swallow its contents, completely oblivious to what was going on around it.Last night, in the tented camp below, a group of impatient explorers hatched a plan.Not content with photos and videos, nor just collecting footprints, hair, and feces, they plan to capture the animal alive for being so careless.

The observers didn't need to wait for a long time. Several companions with guns were outflanking them from all around at the level of professional soldiers.

Soon, a gunshot was heard in the forest, and a few minutes later, the animal slowly fell.A group of people rushed forward, tied it up, and stuffed it into the large net bag that had been prepared.
