Chapter 751: Smart Python

Xia Qing was not surprised at all to see wolf footprints near the Python Pond. Because the last time she and Yang Jin teamed up to wait and catch snakes near the Python Pond, the northern wolf pack sent the black wolf here to monitor the movements of the python.

When Xia Qing went over and saw the wolf footprints left by the wolf on the soft mud, she knew that it was left by the black wolf, the direct descendant of the leader of the northern wolf pack.

Because the footprints were large and clear, but the paw prints were not obvious, it meant that the wolf was wearing protective clothing and was relatively large. There was only one evolved wolf in the northern wolf pack that met these two characteristics.

However, Xia Qing did not reveal the identity of the black wolf to Yanlong and Tan Qi, but only explained the reason why the wolf appeared here, "This area originally belonged to the northern wolf pack, but was later occupied by the giant python. The northern wolf pack has been paying attention to the whereabouts of the giant python. It may be that they found that the giant python left the pond and went to the No. 52 mountain, so they took the opportunity to come and hunt the snake."

If there were no snakes, the giant python would not be a match for the wolf pack at all.

Yanlong nodded, "There is indeed a smell of snake blood here."

Tan Qi looked at the footprints of the evolutionary wolf, which were not much smaller than her palm, and felt uneasy. "The giant python knows to take advantage of the crocodile's weakness to devour the crocodile, and the evolutionary wolf also knows to take advantage of the giant python's absence to sneak attack and kill the snake. They are both very powerful."

Yanlong remained calm, "So, don't underestimate any animal in the evolutionary forest. We still use the method that Xia Qing and Yang Jin used to collect herbs last time. First, lure the python out, and then I will go down to collect herbs. After collecting herbs, I will teach you how to defeat the python in shallow water and in the jungle."

"Yes! Sister Qing and I will lure the python away. When Aunt Yan goes down to collect herbs, Sister Qing will be responsible for the prey in the water, and I will be responsible for the prey on land." Tan Qi has practiced shooting for several months and can already shoot medium and large prey within 200 meters.

Xia Qing is familiar with luring snakes.

Xia Qing directly took out the prey caught on the road from her backpack, cut it up, tied the meat with three ropes, and threw it into the python pond to catch pythons.

Soon after the smell of blood dispersed, three pythons six or seven meters long appeared at the same time. Seeing that only three small pythons were caught, Yanlong, who had already changed into a diving suit, was a little disappointed.

After Xia Qing and Tan Qi led the three pythons into the trap, they returned and caught two more, and the last time they caught one that was more than eight meters long.

Yanlong ordered, "Tan Qi leads the python into the trap, Xia Qing defends, and I collect herbs."

"Got it!" Tan Qi led the long python to run.

Like last time, Xia Qing used a special pistol that could be used underwater to defend, and Yanlong dived into the water to collect herbs. The difference is that Yanlong is good at swimming and well-equipped, so there is no need to tie a rope around her waist for Xia Qing to pull.

When she saw a small crocodile more than four meters long sticking its head out from the side of the pool and rushing towards Yanlong. Xia Qing was not as nervous as last time, because she had knocked over this kind of small thing more than a dozen times yesterday.

"Sister Yan, there is a four-meter-long crocodile on the left and right."

When the crocodile rushed over, Yanlong in the water stepped on the stones in the pond to gain leverage, knocked the crocodile unconscious with one punch, then turned over beautifully in the water and continued to collect herbs.

Xia Qing suspected that Yanlong had evolved some ability of mermaids, because she was too flexible in the water, and the resistance of the water seemed to be non-existent to her.

The knocked-out crocodile slowly floated to the surface of the water. Tan Qi, who led the python back to the pond, was afraid that the crocodile would affect Xia Qing's vision, so she threw a rope to entangle it and dragged it to the edge of the pond.

Thirty-five minutes later, Yanlong, who had circled the pond for most of the time, jumped out of the water. Xia Qing, who shot and killed a python, was sure that Yanlong's lung function must have evolved, otherwise she would not have been able to stay underwater for so long.

Yanlong handed a bag of herbs dripping with water to Xia Qing, "How many plants do you think you can take? If it's less than 100,000, I'll go down and pick some more."

Xia Qing counted them and looked excited, "If it's still the same price as last time, these herbs can be sold for more than 300,000 points."

It's a fortune!

"That's enough, Aunt Yan doesn't have to go into the water." Although Tan Qi was very happy to earn points, Yanlong had been in the water for 35 minutes just now, and Tan Qi's heart was lifted for 35 minutes. She always felt that in the next second, a huge python or crocodile would drill out from the dark bottom of the water and swallow Aunt Yan in one bite.

Yanlong got into the tent and changed back into protective clothing, and then the three of them went to release the trapped python.

The trap made by Yang Jin using the evolutionary vines can trap the python for more than 20 minutes; the trap made by Yanlong with ropes, the python can't break free, and someone needs to untie them.

After releasing the five smaller pythons, Yanlong asked Xia Qing to carry the eight-meter-long python and found a place a little further away from the python pond to start today's special training.

Opening the mouth of a python, Yanlong asked the two students to feel the strength of the python's teeth with their hands and began to explain.

"Most pythons do not have fangs. Their upper and lower rows of teeth are curved inward. Their main function is to hold the prey tightly during swallowing and guide the prey into the digestive tract smoothly."

After talking about the teeth, Yanlong patted the meat strip that was thicker than a human thigh and introduced its attack method. "The main attack method of pythons is strangulation, that is, to wrap the prey with the body and suffocate it to death. Xia Qing, feel the winding force of this python."

"Okay." Xia Qing pulled the meat strip in the bag with both hands, straightened it with force, and gave an accurate judgment, "Its winding force is equivalent to the fifth level of human power evolution."

Tan Qi opened his eyes in shock, "It is a power evolver?!"

"This is the normal level of the python, not a power evolution. If you are entangled by the black python in the crocodile pond, even the top human power evolvers cannot break free without weapons." Yanlong answered Tan Qi's question and continued to introduce, "So, the first point in fighting a python is not to let it entangle you with its head or tail..."

After explaining the means of attack, Yanlong explained the weaknesses of the python to the two people: the heart and the eyes.

After the two students touched the key parts of the python with their hands and tested the hardness of the python's skin, Yanlong asked them to step back, untied the rope that bound the python, and prepared to demonstrate the key points of fighting with the python in actual combat.

Unexpectedly, the python that escaped from the trap did not want to fight with Yanlong at all, twisting its body and quickly drilling into the cracks in the rocks.

Yanlong, who was ready to fight...

Xia Qing and Tan Qi...

The alpha wolf, the broken waist wolf and the little wolf in the basket watching on the distant mountain peaks...

Yanlong stopped, "Collect the team and return to Mountain No. 52."

The python in the python pond was smaller than this one, and had no practical value. Therefore, they could only demonstrate to the two students using the black python in the Crocodile Lake of Hill No. 52.

"Yes!" Tan Qi immediately went over to collect the rope and net bag.

More than an hour later, the three returned to Hill No. 52 and found that the black python had left. The three followed the traces left by the black python to a crack in the stone, and could not move forward.

Today's python combat training had to end early. After the three returned to the Crocodile Lake and beat up a few more small crocodiles, Yanlong released a giant crocodile more than seven meters long that she had trapped in the stone cave.

This size of crocodile is not something Tan Qi can deal with. This fish is Xia Qing's opponent today.
