Everyone pushed aside the bushes and saw a hole about the size of a trash can.
There were traces of dragging on the ground around the hole, and the bushes nearby also had traces of being crushed. However, the traces were relatively light, and they had to be examined carefully.
This was because the python would also hibernate in winter, and the bushes were still growing. Although the growth was slow, it was still growing. Unless one looked at the twisted lower half of the stem, it would be difficult to find traces of the python just by looking at the leaves.
Buick and the others were energized. Most of them waved their picks and shovels and started to work. Charlie took off his pants, leaving only his shorts. Someone next to him shoveled animal skin and smeared animal fat on his legs.
Seeing the hole, Scott swayed his body as if he was dizzy. The policeman next to him was stunned and said, "No way? Tell me, this hole is not a python's nest. "
Scott did not speak and just stared at the hole.
Buick and the others enlarged the hole, put some hay, lit it, and blew smoke into it.
After a while, they moved the hay and placed a strong wooden stick horizontally in the hole. Charlie sat in front of the hole and put his leg wrapped in animal skin and animal fat into the hole.
The policeman said nervously, "God, Scott, tell me, this hole is not a python's nest, is it? Maybe there are no pythons inside, right? He can't just randomly point to a python's nest, right? "
Scott still did not speak, as if he was possessed.
As time passed, Charlie suddenly shouted, "It's hooked!"
It was the first time Li Du saw a scene of catching a python. The method Buick and the others used shocked him.
They first used smoke to wake the python up or make it dizzy. Then someone put a leg in, and the python swallowed the leg, just like a fish biting a hook. At this time, the person was the hook, and the leg was the bait.
Charlie kept giving feedback. When the python completely swallowed his leg, the people began to grab Charlie's waist or long sticks and drag the python out.
This scene reminded Li Du of the game of pulling carrots when he was young. However, that was a game, and this was playing with one's life.
Soon after, he felt that this scene was familiar. It was as if he had seen a movie shot in Hong Kong before. In the movie, the protagonist had accidentally caught a python from a python's nest in Africa.
Lu Guan sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "A python that can swallow a human leg. How big would it be?"
Brother Wolf explained, "The mouth of a python can expand to an extreme extent and can swallow food that is two to four times larger than itself. Compared to a python, a human leg is not very thick."
Just like that, a greyish python was dragged out.
Just as Brother Wolf had said, it was not very thick. It was probably about the thickness of an adult's calf. However, when it opened its mouth wide, it swallowed all the way to Charlie's thigh!
As the python was dragged out, someone at the side took a sharp knife and made an incision on the snakeskin. At the same time, someone quickly applied some yellow ointment on it.
When the python first came out, it could still twist its body a few times. Gradually, it stopped moving.
Finally, with everyone's help, Charlie pulled his leg out.
Because his legs were smeared with animal fat, they were very slippery. The python's mouth could not trap his legs, and his legs were tied with animal skin, so he was not injured at all.
After pulling out his leg, Charlie jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Oh yeah! Oh yeah! I caught it, I caught it! "
Scott, who had been looking at them in a daze, seemed to be awakened from a dream. His face changed from its previous numb expression, and he rushed toward Li Du and shouted, "You tricked me! You bastard! You son of a b * tch who should go to hell! How dare you trick me! "
Brother Wolf grabbed him, easily pinned his arms behind his back, and kicked him to the ground.
Godzilla and Big Quinn wanted to punch him, but Li Du stopped them and shook his head. "No need."
He looked at Scott, who was like a mad tiger, and said, "It doesn't matter whether I tricked you or not. What matters is who wins and who loses the bet."
Scott panted and shouted, "You tricked me, and I'm not convinced! Let's compete again! "
Li Du laughed and said disdainfully, "Compete again? Why? "
Just as Scott was about to shout, Li Du quickly said, "I'm already giving you face by being willing to compete with you. Why don't you take a look at yourself? Do you really think you're worthy of betting with me?!"
The policeman next to him said angrily, "Don't brag, don't talk like you're the president of the United States."
Li Du said, "I'm not the president of the United States, but I can talk to your president. Believe me, I really don't want to deal with maggots like you. Otherwise, including your so-called 'boss,' it would be a piece of cake for me to deal with you bastards!"
Brother Wolf added, "I don't need to use any power to deal with you. I can kill all of you within a week, and no one can find any evidence. Then I'll go back to the United States. What do you think you can do? "
The two policemen were speechless. After a long time, Scott said in a hoarse voice, "You're threatening the police! Threatening the national police officers! "
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and stuffed something into his clothes. He smiled and said, "To us, you're not even a damn police officer. You're not even human, understand?"
Scott opened his clothes. Inside was a small iron lump hanging on his shirt.
A grenade!
Scott's thick lips trembled. He looked at Li Du in horror. Li Du winked at him and said, "A gift for you. Also, I have to take back my chips."
He took away Scott's glasses and walked towards the Buick without looking back. At the same time, he said, "I hope you can keep your promise. You've lost. Don't ever enter the Gibra tribe again."
The glasses were useless to him, so he gave them to the Buick.
He didn't stay long in the Gibra tribe. He brought the python back. After experiencing the tribe's traditional program, the python massage, he decided to leave.
There were cars in the tribe. He spent 15,000 rand to buy two old pickup trucks. After filling up the tank, he was ready to take a detour to find the car they had hidden outside the forest. Then, he would make other plans.
After they got on the road, they bypassed the rainforest and drove south. Then, they turned east.
In the end, the car had not gone far when Musa stood up and waved his hand. "Poke, poke, don't go there! Poke, go there! "
He pointed in the northwest direction.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong? We have to go back and find our car. "
Musa asked, "What about the diamond mine?"
Li Du said, "There's no diamond mine. That mine is abandoned. There are no diamonds —"
Musa shook his head. "No, wo doesn't say that. Wo is talking about another place."
As he spoke, he continued to point northwest.
Sophie, who was next to him, looked surprised. "God, dear, we've been misunderstanding?!"
