Chapter 26: Python Paradise, Delicious Canteen

  After getting on the boat, You Huan looked in the direction of Isla Nublar and reminisced for a second about his life in Jurassic Park.

  After learning that blood orchids were in full bloom recently, he wanted to take a gamble during his last few days in this world.

  When he sent an email to Hobson Company, he was not sure whether he could successfully join the company's team and come to Borneo smoothly.

  Anyway, there is no loss if you lose the bet, and you may gain something if you win, so just give it a try.

  When he heard Walsh say that he was about to go to Borneo at the experimental base, he knew that he had won the bet, so he sneaked onto Walsh's ship.

  After the ship stopped for a while at the port of a big country, it replaced a new group of personnel and, still led by Walsh, headed for Borneo.

  You Huan discovered a well-built storage room in the lower cabin of the ship, which used a special mixture of cryogenic gases to ensure the preservation of the blood orchid, as well as many thermal weapons and small and medium-sized equipment.

  That's why they traveled to Borneo by boat instead of plane; boats are able to transport more stuff covertly.

  After docking near Borneo, a group led by Walsh stayed on the ship while another group went deep into the pristine jungle of the big island.

  Little did they know that before they set out, a velociraptor had already entered the jungle.

  You Huan does not need a lot of detection equipment like humans.

  His extremely sensitive facial features and thermal imaging vision are enough to guide him to move freely and quickly in the primitive jungle as if he were back home.

  Of the various creatures living in the jungle, all that could be seen clearly were a gust of wind and a black streamline shining with golden light.

  When You Huan was crossing a river, something strange happened -

  Several crocodiles lying by the river sensed his arrival, raised their heads and opened their mouths, ready to bite him!

  "Bang!"

  However, one of the crocodiles closest to You Huan had just opened its mouth when it was kicked shut with great force, and its entire head was kicked into the mud.

  You Huan stopped and looked around at the crocodiles.

  These crocodiles have extremely thick scales, huge mouths, and powerful bodies, and they exude a ferocity far beyond that of ordinary crocodiles.

  Their body sizes were all larger than the saltwater crocodile Xiao Kai that he had domesticated, and from their appearance, they seemed to have undergone some mutations.

  Facing the encirclement of more than a dozen giant crocodiles, he was not afraid at all. He roared silently, and along with his sharp white teeth, he revealed a boundless dragon power!

  In the process of using [Brutal Dragon Power] again and again, his mastery of this ability has improved a lot compared to the beginning.

  Although it has not been upgraded, Long Wei's power at this time is greater than that in Jurassic Park.

  The ferocious aura that caused countless killings in Jurassic Park was only released for a moment and then retracted, but it instantly overwhelmed the momentum of these crocodiles.

  With the sound of their claws crunching the soil, the crocodiles swung their bodies and ran madly away from him, and soon scattered!

  "Hua La La—"

  There was the sound of crocodiles swimming in the river.

  ...No, it's not just the sound of the crocodile swimming.

  You Huan looked towards the center of the river. A long black shadow slowly emerged from the turbid water.

  A huge head emerged from the water, its tongue flickering, and a pair of yellow snake eyes staring coldly at the dinosaur on the shore.

  You Huan looked at the python's head and assessed its length.  

  At least twenty-five meters long!

  The python's head is covered with an extra layer of scales, and its eyes and movements are more agile than those of ordinary snakes with low IQs.

  After the two looked at each other for a second, the giant python took the lead in attacking the other!

  Not only was the giant python huge, but its muscle strength also seemed to be terrifyingly high. It jumped in the water and came to You Huan.

  The snake's mouth opened wide and bit towards him, trying to fix itself on this "prey", while its strong and powerful body tried to strangle You Huan.

  However, when the snake bit down, it was as if it had bitten into an indestructible steel plate, and it instead shook the python's head backwards.

  The body that tried to entangle with the "prey" was also forcibly held back by a pair of terrifying claws that shone with golden light!

  You Huan grinned at the giant python that was a little dazed by the hardness of the scales, and then opened his mouth wide, as if deliberately imitating the giant python, to 130 degrees.

  With a sound of "click", the giant python's seven inches were pierced by sharp teeth, and its heart was severely damaged.

  But the giant python was still not dead. Its sturdy body, which was more than 20 meters long, kept twisting up and down, trying to wrap around You Huan's neck.

  This tenacious vitality made him look sideways - so he simply stretched out his forelimbs, grabbed the snake's body from top to bottom, and tore it in half with a sudden force!

  The snake's blood immediately gushed out like a waterfall.

  The giant python, broken into two pieces, fell to the ground, still twisting.

  You Huan grabbed the other half of the snake's body and, not caring that this was the crocodile's territory, started eating it on the spot as if he were chewing a big spicy stick.

  Hmm…hard yet crispy snake bones, chewy snake meat, and the fragrance of flesh and blood full of vitality, this is indeed spicy strips!

  Unfortunately, You Huan didn't get any panel prompts after eating the front half of the giant python.

  Is it not enough for 1 point, or is it completely unable to provide advanced evolution points?

  While thinking, he took out some Tyrannosaurus Rex meat from the space card as a "dessert" after the spicy strips.

  Right now, it was more important to find the location of the blood orchid, so he did not waste time eating the remaining half of the giant python. Instead, he opened his five senses, followed the direction where the giant pythons gathered, turned into a swift shadow and hurried on his way again.

  Behind him, after a long while, the crocodiles dared to slowly gather back and began to devour the half of the giant python he left behind.

  After a while, the blood orchid collecting team under the name of Hobson Biotechnology Company passed by this area.

  Looking at the crocodiles gathered by the river, one of them said, "Huh, these guys are so leisurely."

  The captain said in a deep voice: "Boy, don't be rude. The company has deliberately preserved the ecology here."

  The man who spoke shrugged, and the fully armed team ignored the crocodile and set off again.

  At this time, You Huan had followed the scent of a large number of giant pythons and found the place where the blood orchid grows - the Satan Basin.

  In the sunken basin, scarlet flowers are blooming, and between the wet soil and green leaves are a dense group of entangled snakes!

  It is probably the breeding season for these giant pythons. Many big snakes are tightly entangled together to form a snake ball shape, leaving deep crushing marks on the ground.

  You Huan had heard from Dr. Wu that these giant pythons were actually left here intentionally by humans.

  These organisms that have been feeding on the original blood orchid for a long time are excellent biological research specimens. Both the cells and the ecology of their symbiosis with the blood orchid are worth studying.

  Because of eating blood orchids, these giant pythons have exceeded their physiological limits one by one. The smallest one is probably fifteen meters long, and there are many giant pythons over thirty meters long!

  You Huan noticed a detail:

  some of the giant pythons had undergone obvious mutations, with some growing armor-like scales on their bodies, some reverting to their ancestral form and growing limbs, and some even had horns on their heads, like dragons.

  The giant pythons whose appearance has changed are all the largest among the snakes.

  You Huan looked at them and immediately became eager.

  Canteen, here I come!
