Supernatural story: pythons rob prisoners.

In the past, there was a python rebellion in Dongmu Town, a small town in the northwest border. Within a few days, there were hundreds of casualties. It is said that the python is as thick as a bucket, its eyes are bigger than lanterns, its mouth is open and it can swallow two or three people. Some say it's white, others say it's black. At that time, people in the town were worried that one day the python would take them away.

There are many mountains in Dongmu Town, and the largest is Niutou Mountain, which is located at the junction of the most populous villages. People traded goods in that place, and slowly, it evolved into a market. Niutou Mountain is extremely high above sea level, with many deep valleys and strange peaks and rocks. On weekdays, I only see the faint fog hovering on the top of the mountain, and I don't know how many grotesque beasts lurk in the depths surrounded by clouds.

The whole market is located halfway up the mountain. No matter where people come from, they have to follow steep mountain roads and go through layers of dense forests to get there. Only recently, pythons hurt people, businessmen dare not go to the market, hunters dare not go hunting in the mountains, and the market suddenly becomes desolate.

Seeing many people suddenly cut off their business, they will starve to death in a few months. The town is busy sending people to the bigger town to ask the county magistrate for help. The county magistrate sent catchers up the mountain to catch and kill pythons, but none of them came back. The county magistrate is helpless and can only ask for help at different levels. Finally, the court sent a young general.

The young general's name is Ye unintentional, brave and ruthless, even colder than a snake. People can't help wondering which side is better in the face of cold-blooded pythons?

Ye inadvertently sent someone to check several places where pythons often haunt, then divided the people into several groups and searched around, and finally found the hiding place of pythons.

This is a huge cave. In early years, when hunters went hunting in the mountains, they often used it as a temporary shelter. Unexpectedly, it is now occupied by a python. At noon that day, Ye inadvertently took people to the cave. The python is sleeping in the cave at the moment.

In case many people spoil the broth, Ye inadvertently put most people outside the cave and surrounded it, while he took a small group of people into the cave. In his opinion, the python is no bigger than it, and all the people he takes are battle-hardened, which is more than enough to deal with a snake.

Python is very clever. After entering the cave, it rolled stones one by one, blocking the way into the cave. The cave twists and turns, with many branches. A group of people struggled to move stones and found traces of pythons before going in.

One person in the group is an expert in snake catching. He asked the soldiers to check one by one and then form a net. When most of the holes in the cave were drilled, there was a faint sound of running water ahead. The snake catcher immediately smiled and whispered to Ye, "Here we are, snakes love wet places, and there is water here. I think the python is nearby. "

They were ready, lit torches and headed for the dark place. They only heard the sound of falling rocks, and finally found the python in a corner. Python is white, as thick as two buckets, and its body can't see how long it is. It was covered with iron-like white scales and curled up under the stone wall.

When they saw the crowd coming, they quickly approached the stone wall, causing the rubble on the stone wall to fall off one after another, and Ye unintentionally looked cold, so the soldiers bent their bows and arrows and shot at the python.

Who knows that after a round of arrow rain, the python did not move. Although its scales are strong, it can't resist sharp arrows, and several arrows are inserted into it. Ye unintentionally stopped his men and looked at the snake catcher. The snake catcher watched it shrink tightly, as if to protect something. He ventured a few steps forward and only saw some spherical soft shells.
