CHAPTER 849 THE PREHISTORIC GIANT SNAKE
The moment such a sound rang out, Leo's cold hairs stood up.
Luna's pupils even suddenly shrank, and as the Saintess of Miaojiang, she was actually trembling at
the moment.
On the contrary, Adeline, who didn't know anything, looked bewildered.
"What's going on ......"
"SHH!!!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Adeline was just about to speak, but Leo turned incredibly serious and made a no-speech gesture at
her.
When he finished, he picked her up.
"What are you doing ......"
The moment Leo hugged her, Adeline thought he was going to do something bad to her.
She was about to put up a desperate fight and scream at the top of her lungs.
As a result, the next moment, Leo covered her mouth, directly forcing her over his shoulder, and with a
flick of his foot, he left the place.
Immediately, like Leo, Luna climbed up the tree.
"Don't move."
"And don't breathe."
Leo spoke to Luna as well as Adeline, and then held his breath.
Luna's eyes were even more frightened, as if she had a premonition of something, and her petite body
began to tremble slightly.
"......"
The rustling sound appeared for a while and then disappeared.
Throughout the forest, peace reigned and no sound was heard.
Leo moved a little closer to Luna, still not letting down his guard, and said gruffly, "Is the situation
serious?"
"......"
Luna nodded gently, her face pale.
"I often catch snakes to make snake compulsions, but the longest one I've caught was just over a
metre long, but this one here, I don't know how big it is."
Leo took a deep breath and did not say anything.
The largest known snake in the world lives on the other side of the world in the Amazon forest, which is
no longer a python, but is called a boa.
This one here should not as exaggerated as the boa in the Amazon, right?
With this thought, there was still no sound, but Leo felt more and more that something was wrong.
It's so quiet here, not even the sound of the wind could be heard.
It was as if the whole forest had been plunged into a silent world of stillness and solidity, and a
suffocating sense of oppression washed over it.
Even the throat of Leo seemed to be in a chokehold.
Suddenly, a faint and growing stench wafted through the air.
This fishy smell was pungent, different from the normal fish smell, more like the kind of smell Leo had
smelled from the mud before, as if it was a foretaste of what was to come, a reminder to the world that
something unimaginable seemed to come.
As time slowly passed, the stench became stronger and stronger, covering the whole forest, even Leo
and Luna, who were hiding in the trees, could smell it clearly.
They did their best to cover their noses, but a slight odour still wafted into their nostrils, causing them to
blush.
Adeline, who was in his tight grip, seemed to be a bit overwhelmed by the stench and could no longer
hold her breath and was about to scream out.
Leo hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, she had to hold it in!
At the same time, his eyes became deep and deadly as he looked in one direction of the forest.
Also in that direction, there was a constant rustling of friction that sounded like leaves being blown off
by the wind and crushed by something.
It was such a subtle sound, almost invisible, that made Leo for the first time he felt an extreme sense of
danger.
"Here it comes."
Leo said to Luna with his mouth.
Luna also held her breath in death, her body cold and stiff, her eyes deadly fixed on that direction.
The sound of friction continues to come through.
And, compared to before, it's even closer.
If the sound before was a hundred metres away from them, now, it was twenty metres.
Fifteen metres!
Ten metres!
Still approaching!
The stench was even stronger, and along with it came an aura of near-crushing terror.
The bush beneath this tree where Leo and Luna were suddenly shook.
It's coming!
Leo held his breath as cold sweat secreted on his forehead.
For he clearly saw that after the bush under the tree had moved, all the bushes around it followed.
The slightest movement can make the trees around this area tremble. How big is the body to do this?
Leo's body was tensed up and he was already in a state of readiness to fight.
Although he was a Commander of Wyverns, he was also human and had never seen such a large
snake in his life, so it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
The next moment the bush was finally completely opened.
In the darkness, only a huge creature roughly the size of a toilet lid crawled from side to side.
"Oh my God ......"
This scene deeply stimulated the eyes of Leo and Luna, making their hearts thump faster!
As they thought, it was a giant snake of infinite size.
Bigger, surely, than that boa in the Amazon!
Measuring some twenty metres in length, it is as black as ink and blends perfectly with the surrounding
darkness.
The fine scales of the body, as if they were hard armour, are invulnerable!
Not only that, but the ugly triangular head of the snake has two points that are slightly raised.
That's the horn!
This snake has horns!
Fortunately, though, it was a python and not a venomous snake.
The snake was squirming slowly underneath and, as could be seen, the middle of its abdomen, which
was slightly bulging, showed that it had just swallowed an animal and was currently in the process of
digesting it.
Adeline had never seen such a big snake before in her life, and she was so scared that her face turned
pale and she sweated coldly, and her whole body looked like she had just been salvaged from the
water.
At that moment, she was about to stifle a scream, but Leo covered her mouth to prevent her from
screaming.
Snakes are sensitive to sound and can sense the slightest breeze, but have poor eyesight.
By not making a sound, they would not be detected by this giant snake.
But even so, when they saw such a giant snake slowly crawling under their feet, Luna immediately
developed a feeling of weakness in the soles of her feet.
She cannot move.
She cannot breathe.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals and are very aware of the temperature around them. The air
temperature drops and rises with the air exhaled by a person and snakes can target their targets based
on the difference in temperature, which is why snakes rarely lose their way when hunting.
The giant serpent squirmed slowly and was soon to be out from under them.
As he watched it leave, Leo was relieved.
This snake, basically, can be considered the overlord of this forest.
Not to mention here, in any primeval forest, it is the boss!
However, just as they were relaxing, not far away that dark mass turned back.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
The next moment!
It actually stood up like a human being, leapt up and tore madly towards the tree where Leo and the
others were.
