Chapter 58: Giant Python

  The noise on this side soon startled Zhang Xinyue and Chen Junxiong, and the two were frightened when they learned that a student had been poisoned, and they rushed over in a hurry.

  Especially Zhang Xinyue, seeing the obvious blackness on the faces of the two male classmates, almost cried out in urgency and hastily asked Ning Yuan: "Doctor Ning, what's going on? Should we call an ambulance?"

  At this time, Ningyuan had already taken out a porcelain bottle from the medical box, pouring pills into his hand while saying: "Don't worry, there's snake venom in the water. When I came here, I considered that there are many wild poisonous snakes outdoors, so I prepared some detoxifying pills."

  While speaking, Ning Yuan rushed to the students at the side and shouted: "All those who drank water earlier come over to receive medicine, one person one pill, those who didn't drink water don't need to join in, this antidote is also **."

  Two male classmates with very serious faces already felt a bit dizzy, hastily came forward, Ningyuan gave one to each of them, and the two quickly swallowed it down. The other students who had drunk water also stretched out their hands and shouted: "Give me one, give me one."

  Only seven or eight students had drunk the water, fortunately not many, and Ningyuan's prepared medicine was abundant, one pill per person. After taking it, not long after, the two students who had turned pale slowly recovered to normal.

  Seeing that the students were really okay, Zhang Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ning Yuan repeatedly. This time, it was really thanks to Ning Yuan. If it weren't for Ning Yuan, who would have thought that there was poison in the mountain spring water? It's possible that all these people would have fallen down here today.

  The students also recovered at this time, eating while someone curiously asked Ningyuan: "Dr. Ning, the mountain spring water looks very clear, how can it be poisonous?"

  "There must be a venomous snake nearby, which accidentally drank water from the mountain spring. Fortunately, the toxin had been diluted in the mountain spring, otherwise, all of you would have been sent to the hospital by now."

  Ningyuan said as he stood up and walked towards Zhang Xinyue, "Teacher Zhang, this mountain spring should have people drinking from it frequently. If it's poisonous, it must be a recent occurrence. I'll go take a look at the situation to prevent anyone from unknowingly getting poisoned."

  Xiangyue Zhang was somewhat reluctant to let Ning Yuan go, after all she was the leader of this trip and no matter who got into trouble, it would all be connected to her. However, Ning Yuan's words also made sense, so she could only nod and say: "Be careful, if you can't find the reason then just forget it, we can call the scenic area and tell them about it, although this place doesn't belong to the scenic area, they still have to take responsibility."

  Ning Yuan nodded and was about to go over, but Liu Dong suddenly shouted that he wanted to follow along, and several other brave students also wanted to follow Ning Yuan to see the excitement. Zhang Xinyue scolded them a few times, but seeing that it had no effect, she could only follow along as well. A group of over ten people headed towards the mountain spring area.

  This mountain spring is actually just a small stream, the water seeps out from the rocks on the back of the mountain, and flows down to form a stream about 10-20 cm wide. The water is not deep, only about 2-3 cm, crystal clear. After flowing out for about 10-20 meters, it seeps into the ground again through the gaps in the rocks.

  A student from the nearby Jiang City spoke up and explained, "This spring is called Drip Water Spring. It's said that for many years, people who came to the mountain to chop firewood or hunt would come here to drink water when they were thirsty. There used to be a Dragon King Temple not far from here, but it was demolished when the scenic area was being built."

  Ning Yuan nodded and looked at the small stream in front of him, carefully surveying the surrounding terrain.

  This mountain range surrounds, with a spring seeping out from west to east. This spring is also considered auspicious in our country's geography, which generally slopes downward from west to east. The water inlet is hidden in the northwest, and the outlet is often in the southeast. Fengshui respects the west as superior, and the outlet is auspicious in the southeast, so the water coming from the west is auspicious water, often communicating with the divine.

  Since ancient times, mountains and rivers have been the two great wonders of the universe. There are dragons in the mountains and also dragons in the water. If one only looks at the mountains but not the water, then the person who examines Feng Shui cannot be considered a good Feng Shui master.

  Mountains have paths that wind and stop, waters divide and flow in different directions. To find the dragon's lair, one must observe both mountains and waters, seeking the momentum of water to understand the mountain's veins.

  Ning stood in front of the stream, looking at the water flow, gazing up at the mountain rocks where the spring seeped out. As he looked up about 50 meters above the spring, his pupils suddenly contracted and he couldn't help but take two steps back, shouting: "Everyone retreat!"

  Most of the students were puzzled, but Liu Dong and Ouyang Shasha had already followed Ningyuan's gaze to see what was on the mountain wall, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

  "Fall back, everyone fall back!" Ning Yuan shouted in a low and urgent tone, his eyes fixed tightly on something on the mountain wall.

  Zhang Xinyue heard Ning Yuan's voice, although she was a bit at a loss, but still instructed the students to retreat immediately. Just as the students were retreating, one of the female students inadvertently followed Ning Yuan's line of sight and took a glance, unable to help but let out a cry of surprise: "Snake... such a big snake..."

  While shouting, she was already frightened to the point of having a pale face, her legs went soft and she sat down on the ground. At the same time, because of this shout, several classmates also saw a giant snake hovering on the mountain wall.

  This giant snake was all gray, with some green markings on its body, coiled on the rocky wall of the mountain, and its color blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding rocks. If the angle wasn't right, it wouldn't be easy to spot, even Ningyuan didn't notice it at first glance.

  The entire snake, due to its winding coils, made it impossible to discern its length. However, the head was about the size of an adult's brain, the body as thick as an adult's thigh, and a pair of icy cold eyes all gave off a terrifying aura.

  At that moment, the students who came to watch the commotion suddenly became a mess. The timid ones sat paralyzed on the ground, while the brave ones ran away with their legs spread wide. Zhang Xinyue was also frightened pale, her body trembling, unable to utter a word.

  Especially the two students who came to fetch water just now, their clothes had been drenched in cold sweat, they never thought that they were fetching water in front of such a huge creature.

  The snake in front of us can no longer be called a snake, it's a real giant python, the undisputed king of snakes. A python like this is already very rare.

  Among the crowd on the scene, only Ningyuan Liu Dong and Ouyang Shasha were calm, even Liu Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face slightly pale.

  "Liu Dong, you and Sasha go help the other students evacuate, the farther away the better. Let everyone try to stay calm, with so many people, this big snake won't attack rashly for a while." Ning Yuan instructed Liu Dong and Ouyang Sasha in a low voice, while keeping watch on the giant python not far away.

  To be honest, Ningyuan was also somewhat unexpected this time. He had guessed that there might be a poisonous snake nearby, but he hadn't expected it to be so big.

  At this time, the huge creature had been awakened by the screaming students below, its eyes fixed tightly on the crowd below, with a somewhat menacing look, but it did not make any attacking moves.

  Snakes generally will not actively attack humans unless they are hungry, and in most cases are harmless. Ning Yu guessed that the snake might have just eaten recently.

  However, he still didn't dare to be careless, after all, the giant python in front of him couldn't be judged by common sense. Once it became furious, it would be a stormy rain, and ordinary people were powerless to resist.

  This giant python, with just one contraction, can knock down trees as thick as a bowl, the force is astonishing, but most importantly, snakes are best at speed.

  Ning Yuan didn't want to confront this giant snake from the bottom of his heart. He really wasn't confident that he could subdue it.

  However, things obviously wouldn't go as Ningyuan had thought. Many people from the Shanchuan side were shouting and yelling, and some students who were busy preparing lunch not far away heard the commotion and ran over, making the scene quite lively.

  Shouting and yelling in front of this giant snake, the consequences were already predictable. The giant snake, which had been somewhat lazy, was perhaps annoyed by the students below, suddenly raised its head high, opened its bloody big mouth, and let out a long hiss, emitting a heart-pounding "hiss" sound.
