Chapter 77 God Destroyer Apophis

Apep?

I looked at the big snake slowly swimming out of the sand in amazement. I couldn't connect it with the god of chaos in ancient Egyptian mythology who was born deep in the earth and hindered the sun god from sailing at night every day.

This snake is amazingly beautiful. Its pupils are translucent gold, exuding emerald green. Its figure is elegant, and its black body swims easily on the sand. I don’t like cold-blooded animals. But when I see this big snake, even if

Faced with the fear of life being threatened, I still want to admire the magic of creation.

The Sahara, a place with a simple environment, can actually support such huge and beautiful life.

The Book of Mountains and Seas records the "Ba Snake" who is so big that it can swallow elephants; the earthly giant Jormungandr that caused the fall of gods in Ragnarok; the Sumerian creation myth that swallows itself, surrounds the universe, and maintains order.

The snake "Ouroboros" all writes about human beings' fear and yearning for this species with endless life.

At this moment, in the barren Sahara, the giant snake is swimming from myth to reality.

James was so drunk that he moved his eyes away from the scope in shock. Everyone tensed up and stared at the giant snake with good eyesight.

The bad thing is that these people have excellent psychological quality and no one shoots randomly.

The scales of the big snake swaying against the ground in front of it were like hard rocks. We just mistakenly thought that the part of its back exposed to the sand was basalt, so we didn't notice its existence.

Most of the giant snake's body is still hidden in the sand, but judging from the exposed part, the snake must not be less than 15 meters*.

It seems that the snake slough that was dug out by Tempura just now belongs to it.

Snakes shed their skin and are reborn, a skill that evolved before humans.

"This should be Apep." Jacqueline was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. The strong French lady repeated it again with a trembling voice: "Perhaps you are more familiar with its other name. The Destroyer of Gods - Apophey.

"

Jacqueline said so confidently that I couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't the legendary Apophis, what kind of snake could grow so big?

In this way, the thunder and lightning and storm just now are traceable. In ancient Egyptian legends, the battle between Set and Apep is often used to explain thunderstorm phenomena.

Karl stood behind the armed wall and said to Socrates: "Aren't you a son of the desert? Take care of your snakes."

Socrates looked collapsed: "In the desert, this snake is the local god, and I can only be regarded as a distant relative."

"In this case, don't blame us for being too harsh." After saying that, Karl also picked up a gun.

"Don't act rashly." Meng Weiqing stopped them. "This snake doesn't look like it's going to attack, and no one is sure that it can subdue it."

Even if he is not the god of chaos who dares to challenge the sun god, he can grow into such a big snake and live for at least a thousand years. No one wants to provoke it easily and then be eaten. Not to mention that idiot Lou Shiqi at this time

Still standing dumbly between the crowd and the big snake, Tempura's tail had already stood up like an antenna.

"What should I do now?" I asked quietly in Chinese.

Meng Weiqing glanced at Jiang Can. The latter held the Tibetan knife in his mouth and held guns in both hands.

"Mr. Meng is right, don't act rashly." Li Yuan walked over from the wall of people and said softly: "Lou Shiqi, I'm going to lure it away. You retreat slowly."

"You're crazy!" I shouted in a low voice, not daring to make any big move.

Li Yuan waved his hand. He walked slowly on the sand. Surprisingly, he left no footprints. Karl and others also looked sideways.

"He chose his footing based on the flow of sand," Teacher Bai said. "The snake relies on the vibration of the sand to capture sound, so that his footsteps can be covered up by the quicksand."

Li Yuan had already reached Lou Shiqi's side, and he was now only three to five steps away from the snake.

"The snake seems invisible." Jiang Can put away the gun in his left hand and replaced it with a hidden knife.

The membrane on the big snake's eyes slipped. It was clearly not looking at me, but it felt like it was being stared at by those eyes. Cold sweat immediately flowed down its neck in the hot desert.

Li Yuan tensed his back and stopped. Lou Shiqi was trembling all over. Fortunately, he didn't run away, otherwise he and Li Yuan would have been dead. Everyone was sweating. Jiang Can and others

Holding his breath, he held the gun tighter.

When this was about to happen, Tempura let out a "huh" sound in his throat and pounced towards the big snake.

The big snake stood up from the sand, revealing a bright yellow belly and even short forelimbs that had not completely degenerated. The top of its head was faintly glowing with a mixture of gold and red. I hope this is not a symbol of anger.

Everyone raised their heads. The attack radius of such a long snake could directly destroy the armed human wall.

When he was upstairs, Qimao picked up the tempura at his waist and ran back. Li Yuan stepped forward heavily on the sand and rushed forward, attracting the attention of the big snake. The bullets of Jiang Can and others also fell on the big snake.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

However, the bullets that hit the snake's belly were like hitting stones, being scattered in all directions. But this attack had no effect on the thick-skinned black snake, and it only made it more anxious and violent.

People yelled and cursed, shot back randomly, and retreated while fighting.

Egypt is not a lawless place. Fortunately, it is in a deserted desert. Otherwise, all these movements would have been enough for the army to surprise us. But this also means that no one will come to rescue us.

"Don't you know how to imitate animal sounds? Why don't you bark now?" James asked as he ran.

Lou Shiqi looked unpredictable: "Do any of you know how Seth talks?"

While they were talking nonsense, Li Yuan had already gone around the back of the snake, stepping on its scales to climb up. He stood on the snake, pulled out a knife, and stabbed it in along the gap in the snake's scales. Then he pulled it off with a strong force.

A piece of scale fell off.

The big snake that was attacked roared angrily, lowered its body and began to roll. It wanted to crush Li Yuan to death.

Lou Shiqi suddenly stopped: "Quick, hit his anus now!"

Jiang Can was furious. "What are you talking about?"

"When a snake is attacking, hitting it will only make it more angry, but if you poke it in the anus, it won't be able to take care of itself." Lou Shiqi was out of breath, and it took him a long time to finish the sentence.

"You'd better not trick me, or I'll come back and stab you to death." After Jiang Can finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the big snake.

James didn't know why, but he stopped and set up his gun to cover Jiang Can.

I calmed myself down and didn't run away. I hid next to James and told him Lou Shiqi and Jiang Can's plan. After James heard this, he completely sobered up. But he looked like he would rather get drunk right away.

The big snake was rolling, and Li Yuan couldn't stand still, so he ran towards its head in the opposite direction of the snake's rotation, like stepping on a hamster ball. Jiang Can took advantage of the big snake to turn around and wanted to swallow Li Yuan, but he had already touched its body while Wu Xia was looking away.

Before, look for Achilles' heel in the belly of the snake.

"Oh, can he do it?" Seeing that Jiang Can couldn't find the vital point for a long time, Lou Shiqi was extremely anxious. He turned around twice, gritted his teeth and handed the tempura to my hand. However, the tempura

Without waiting for me, he jumped down and chased Kawaii San and others. I just didn't care about it.

"Just stop causing trouble!" I grabbed Lou Shiqi.

He took my hand away with a grimace. "This snake's eyes are transparent membranes, and its abdomen is brightly colored. It must have lived underground for a long time. It even has residual limbs that have not degenerated, and many of its physiological habits are different from ordinary snakes."

Same. I'll find a place where I can give it a thousand-year kill."

James took advantage of the time of changing the magazine and took out a pistol from his waist and handed it to Lou Shiqi. "I'll cover you."

Lou Shiqi took one look, shook his head, and the two sides started fighting.

"Then come." James loaded the gun with one hand and handed the gun to me.

I swallowed and raised my gun.

Lou Shiqi bent down and touched the big snake, said something to Jiang Can, and the latter lifted him up. Lou Shiqi sat on Jiang Can's shoulder, stretched his neck and stared at the snake's lower third path.

"It has to show its tail!"

Li Yuan had been paying attention to the two of them. After hearing him shout "be careful", he rushed to the snake's head and kicked it hard in the eyes, and then somersaulted down.

The big snake opened its mouth and chased him to bite him, and the whole body of the snake came out of the sand.

At this time, Li Yuan turned back again and jumped onto it with his scales, causing the big snake to roll again. This time the snake was determined to crush him to death, and its force became even more fierce. James' gun did not stop, but the big snake hit him

He ignored it. Lou Shiqi kept staring at the tail of the snake, not knowing what he saw, and pointed there. Jiang Can immediately threw him to the ground, grabbed it, picked up the rifle and stabbed it.

The big snake stopped rolling.

Li Yuan took the opportunity to jump off it and distanced himself from Jiang Can. Lou Shiqi flopped in the sand for a long time before getting up.

However, the calm did not last long. The big snake that had stabbed the chrysanthemum became even more angry. It roared and began to stir in the sand crazily. The whole desert seemed to be disturbed by it and began to tremble.

"No, it's trying to attract quicksand!"

This desert is not harmless, it is a plain with sand. The desertification area of ​​the Sahara is often accompanied by movable sand dunes. Those moving sand legions can even be hundreds of meters high and stretch for thousands of meters. And this natural

The power is enough to bring disaster. What's more, the underground here can accommodate Apep's hiding place. There must be a lot of space. If tons of sand pour down, it can really build a sand grave for everyone.

Jiang Can pinched Lou Shiqi's neck: "Are you with it?"

A signal flare suddenly rose in the distance. It turned out that while they were fighting with the big snake here, Karl and others had already climbed over the sand dune. The big snake suddenly threw away Li Yuan and the others, and plunged into the quicksand. He saved his life.

Everyone did not react for a moment.

He Rongchuan stood on the sand dune and waved to us. James shouldered his gun, and they dragged each other up the sand dune. They were all stunned in shock.

God Destroyer-Apophis

There is no definite conclusion about what kind of snake Apap is, but ancient Egyptian documents (coffin texts, etc.) have records about the "Snake of Chaos" since the Eighth Dynasty. This twin brother of the sun god, dark and

The embodiment of resentment is forty-eight feet long, which is more than 14 meters.

That's more than 2,100 years ago. Given that it shed its skin for more than 4,000 years, it is estimated to be at least 20 meters long, which is equivalent to a six-story building.

Titanoboa is the largest snake discovered so far. It became extinct as early as 60 million years ago. Judging from the fossils, the largest one was 14 meters long and weighed more than one ton. However, in time (it became extinct long ago)

This kind of snake has nothing to do with the Sahara in space (South America), but it is written like this in ancient Egyptian mythology, so let’s use it as a doctrine.
