Chapter 338: It's a request for help, not a warning
The guide's words also made them sure that they were not going in the wrong direction.
After asking a few more questions, it was almost completely dark.
Although their action this time was carried out in secret, Jiang Shiyan believed that it would definitely reach Lin Zizhou's ears.
The previous incident at the base made Jiang Shiyan suspect that there was a traitor. She also mentioned this matter to Director Zhong in private. As for how to catch the traitor, that was their business and it was not appropriate for Jiang Shiyan, an outsider, to interfere.
And her top priority is to find the pregnant female snake and the laboratory secretly built by Lin Zizhou deep in the tropical rainforest.
Jiang Shiyan whistled and soon summoned countless snakes.
These snakes are of different lengths. Some have bright colors and strange patterns, and are obviously poisonous; some are ordinary and look cute.
Kan Qingqing and the others were already accustomed to the fact that Jiang Shiyan could speak snake language and communicate with all kinds of animals, but it was the first time for the others present to see it, and they all stared at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Shiyan squatted down and discussed with them that they were not allowed to sneak into the tent at night.
These poisonous snakes are the masters of this rainforest, so they are not afraid of people. Jiang Shiyan and his group came here and disturbed their lives, so they will naturally be attacked by them.
After Jiang Shiyan had talked to them, these poisonous snakes slowly left the area defined by Captain Cui. Some of them climbed directly onto the trees and entangled themselves on the treetops, while others shrank into the grass and did not leave.
They are really curious about Jiang Shiyan, a human.
"amazing!"
"I've heard that the older generation of snake catchers can communicate with snakes and speak snake language, but I didn't expect this to be true..."
The two guides whispered to each other and became more and more in awe of the young girl Jiang Shiyan.
In the eyes of these villagers who make a living by catching snakes, Jiang Shiyan has become a "god"-like existence.
After taking care of these little guys who might cause trouble at night, Jiang Shiyan went over to eat with peace of mind.
"Sister Qingqing!"
Kan Qingqing handed her the freshly heated vegetable soup. This thing was dehydrated vegetables, which was very convenient to carry with her when working in the field.
After taking a sip, she looked around but didn't see Qin An: "Where's Senior Brother Qin An?"
"I was here just now." Kan Qingqing was also a little surprised.
Jiang Shiyan was walking around with the soup in her hands, and found Qin An standing motionless in the distance. She called out to him twice but there was no response.
She couldn't help but walked over and patted Qin An's shoulder: "Brother, what are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan discovered something was wrong. Qin An was trembling all over, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
Jiang Shiyan looked in the direction of her gaze and saw a huge cobra standing upright, sticking out its tongue and staring at the two of them.
"It seemed to be targeting me. It would come closer if I moved..." Qin An said with difficulty, "I didn't even dare to call for help. It seemed to be warning me not to speak."
Soon, the system scanned out the information of the cobra.
Species: Cobra;
Age: 7 years old;
Height: 8.3m.
"How long?!" Jiang Shiyan almost shouted out loud.
[8.3 meters, you heard it right! ]
The small system solemnly guarantees that its scanned data will not be wrong.
Jiang Shiyan: “…”
Whose cobra can grow to 8.3 meters long!!!
Ordinary cobras are usually 1-2 meters long. Occasionally there are cobras that are three or four meters long, but they are very rare. How could the cobras in this tropical rain forest grow to more than eight meters?!
It’s hard to imagine how many abnormal behemoths are hidden in this rainforest...
Jiang Shiyan couldn't help but suspect that all this was related to Lin Zizhou's laboratory!
[This cobra must have been chased out of its territory after a fight. It has several wounds on its body and is still bleeding from its abdomen. No wonder it didn't attack Qin An.]
You should know that cobra is one of the few snakes that will actively attack humans. It is highly poisonous and has the title of "King of All Snakes". It has a very strong sense of territory.
"hiss~"
Jiang Shiyan's mind moved slightly: "It's not warning Qin An, it's asking Qin An for help."
[I think so.]
Jiang Shiyan stood in front of Qin An calmly. After a moment, she took the initiative to respond to the cobra in front of her.
The cobra's vertical pupils blinked and its tongue trembled.
[Can you help me? No, can you understand me?]
"I know you are seriously injured and you are seeking help from humans, right?"
Cobra responded to her.
"Then I'll help you. Let my friend leave here. He doesn't understand snake language and thinks you are warning him not to move." Jiang Shiyan explained.
Qin An then realized that the cobra was not threatening him, but asking for help.
When he thought about how he had listened to snake language for the entire afternoon but still couldn't understand what was going on, his face, which had turned pale from fright, instantly turned red.
The cobra nodded.
Jiang Shiyan turned around and said to Qin An, "You go back first and ask Sister Qingqing to bring the medical kit over. Then don't alarm other people. Cobras have a strong sense of territory. Too many people will make it feel that humans are provoking it. Even if the opponent is injured, its fighting power should not be underestimated."
Qin An said with a sad face: "My legs are numb."
"…How about you stay here while I go back to get the medical kit?"
"No! Junior sister, don't leave me alone, it's too scary!" Qin An was very panicked at the moment. He was brave enough not to wet his pants. He gritted his teeth and took the first step with great effort.
With a start, Qin An's legs seemed to regain consciousness. At first he walked slowly and stiffly, but when the numbness wore off, he ran as fast as he could and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Shiyan took a sip of the vegetable soup and politely asked the other party if he wanted a bowl.
cobra:?
[Host, it eats meat! Eats meat!!!]
Jiang Shiyan: “Oh.”
Jiang Shiyan started chatting with the other party. Perhaps it was the aura of Jiang Shiyan that made it gradually relax its vigilance. It did not force itself to stand upright, but slowly swam in front of Jiang Shiyan, about two meters away from her.
There was also a bloodstain on the ground.
Jiang Shiyan suddenly saw the densely serrated wounds on the other person's body.
"Beast, look at it!"
The small system said "Huh".
Jiang Shiyan's eyes rolled slightly, and he squatted down and asked tentatively: "Have you ever seen a giant python that is more than ten meters long?"
The cobra, which was originally preparing to lie down and rest, suddenly raised its head. Its amber vertical pupils instantly shrank into a line, and its breathing became rapid.
Its reaction also made Jiang Shiyan realize that he had guessed correctly.
The one who invaded the cobra's territory, fought with it, and drove the cobra away was the mutant reticulated python they were looking for...
