Chapter 112: Human-faced Beauty Snake

The Hummer sped along the road, Luke held the steering wheel and hummed an American country song.

Before they knew it, they had returned to the residence of the two people who had been eaten by the black bear. From a distance, they could see that there were already quite a few people gathered there.

A cordon was even set up outside the area, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

Looking at several policemen carrying out the bodies of the two guys, Luke couldn't help but shook his head.

In Luke's opinion, these two idiots had it all their own fault, as they had no respect for nature.

Luke had carefully observed their short video accounts before. These two idiots often played pranks on wild animals, and even many wild animals died as a result of their pranks.

The result they have today is the result of their evil deeds being punished.

"Alas, is this the legendary cycle of cause and effect? ​​It seems that it also applies to the land of America. Even God is not helpful!"

Luke sighed softly, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from this troubled place. He didn't want to be stopped and questioned by the police.

According to the nature of American police, it would be bad if they forcibly searched him. Luke didn't want to become a suspect for no reason.

Back at the hotel, Luke carried out preliminary tanning on the black bear's fur. The final step of processing the giant crocodile's fur had also been completed, and all he had to do was wait for time to penetrate.

After a simple tidying up, he fell asleep peacefully.

When he woke up the next day, the sunlight happened to shine on the head of the bed. After Luke opened his sleepy eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"Huh! It's time to meet that python today!"

With that, Luke jumped out of bed and prepared to wash up.

However, when Luke turned on the tap and took a glass of water and drank it, a strange sweet taste immediately caught his attention.

Since Luke's perception ability has been greatly enhanced, those details that were previously difficult for others to notice can no longer escape Luke's perception.

He spat out the tap water in his mouth, looked at the remaining part in the cup, and smacked his lips: "Tsk, it can't be lead water!"

At this time, Luke was already thinking of the lead water pipe scandal in the United States, which had caused a sensation.

It is said that in the 19th century, America had begun to replace water pipes with lead on a large scale, so many people were poisoned unknowingly after drinking lead-containing tap water.

In severe cases, it has caused miscarriage and fetal death, which is enough to show how serious the consequences are.

The hotel where Luke was staying at the moment was an old building with a lot of history. In such an old building, lead water pipes were probably everywhere.

Until now, these lead pipes still account for the majority of water pipes in some parts of the United States. When Luke was in Fort Lauderdale, he had never had this experience because he had always been in the wealthy area. Now that he has come out, he has seen it.

Fortunately, he is not a frequent visitor here, otherwise he would be worried that his body functions would be damaged by the lead-containing water.

"I don't know if the air in America is sweet, but this water is sweet enough."

Luke smiled sarcastically and then poured out the water in the cup.

After turning around and getting a bottle of purified water from the refrigerator, Luke finally finished washing up.

It was almost nine o'clock when they drove away from the hotel. Luke's next target was the Snake Valley where the giant python was located in Black Bear's memory yesterday.

Although I am not very familiar with this area, fortunately the Hummer has strong off-road capabilities. After leaving the city, I just need to drive in the general direction.

It didn't take long for Luke to locate Snake Valley and rushed there at full speed.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, but as Luke got closer and closer to Snake Valley, the scenes on both sides of the road made Luke frown.

The reason why Luke was like this was because he saw a lot of billboards on the roadside.

The content of these billboards is almost exactly the same, which is to discourage pedestrians from approaching Snake Valley.

There were even fresh graffiti of pythons entangled with skulls on several billboards. Luke felt more and more weird after taking a glance at the graffiti.

Just when Luke was puzzled, a number of roadblocks suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Looking at the roadblocks made of stones and dead wood, Luke had to slow down the car.

"What are you doing!"

After Luke stopped the car, he looked around and then slowly opened the door.

When getting off the car, he couldn't help but touch the revolver at his waist. Bandits and robbers are also a major feature of the American wilderness. Accidents are most likely to happen in such a place where there is no village or shop nearby.

At this time, the firearm in one's hand can make one calmer than one's own strength.

Just as Luke got out of the car carefully, a figure suddenly jumped out from the woods beside him.

Seeing the figure running towards him, Luke subconsciously took out the M500 from his waist.

But just as Luke was about to pull the trigger, the figure suddenly froze in place.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

"Sir, I don't mean to offend you, I just want to ask you to turn around!"

The figure made an "X" gesture with his hand as he spoke, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Of course, Luke would not let down his guard because of the other party's words. At this moment, Luke held the revolver in one hand and began to look at the figure in front of him.

The figure was not tall, and when Luke saw her face clearly, he realized that she was a woman.

But when Luke looked at the other person's cheek, he saw a horrifying scar on her cheek.

The scar looked extremely scary, as if it was tearing her entire face apart.

If Luke had not seen many dark creatures and monsters, he might have been frightened by the other party's appearance.

"Why did you ask me to turn around? Who are you? Give me a reason!"

Luke frowned and spoke cautiously.

Seeing Luke's unfriendly expression, the figure not far away suddenly hesitated and seemed to want to say something but stopped talking several times, which made Luke a little impatient.

So before she could finish her struggle, Luke raised his hand: "If you don't have a reason to convince me, get out of the way immediately. I don't have time to waste here!"

Luke said this and prepared to drive through. Although there was a roadblock ahead, it was not impossible to get through with the performance of the Hummer.

Obviously, this roadblock was temporarily set up by the woman in front of him, so it has little effect at all.

Seeing that Luke was determined to pass, the woman finally seemed to have made some decision and walked straight towards Luke.

"Sir, there is Snake Valley ahead! There are many giant pythons there, it's very dangerous! You can't go through there!"

"If you must go forward, I suggest you go around through the town next door."

When the woman said this, she was afraid that Luke would not believe her, so she decisively took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it in front of Luke.

Seeing this, Luke looked at the paper in her hand suspiciously. When Luke saw the content clearly, he found that it was a notice issued by the police in a nearby town.

The above content is roughly related to Snake Valley. When Luke finished reading it, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What! 23 people have already died in Snake Valley?" Luke was surprised. Luke never thought that the python he wanted to track would be so ferocious. In just one year, it had killed so many people. This was simply outrageous.

In Luke's opinion, if the python was allowed to continue to act recklessly, the nearby towns would be wiped out sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Luke felt it necessary to get rid of this guy as soon as possible, otherwise when it grows up, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, sir! You read it right! This does not include the missing persons. If they are counted, the number will be doubled!"

Seeing the surprised expression on Luke's face, the woman added at the right time.

At the same time, she did not forget to lift up her sleeves to show Luke the scars on her body.

Just by looking at her scars, Luke concluded that they were all caused by snake bites.

Luke looked at the woman in disbelief. Seeing this, the woman lowered her head, as if she was afraid that the scar on her face would scare Luke again.

"I, all the scars on my body are caused by them, so sir, please turn around and don't go any further!"

The woman pointed out the detour to Luke again and then prepared to turn around and leave.

Judging from her appearance, she seemed ready to continue waiting here, waiting for the next person to pass by.

But just as the woman turned around, Luke finally spoke: "Wait! Tell me in detail what happened in Snake Valley. You should be hiding something from me, right?"

Luke said as he walked over and stopped the woman.

When the woman saw Luke stopping her, she subconsciously took a step back.

"You, what do you mean?" The woman showed a look of fear on her face.

Catching the hint of fear on her face, Luke confirmed his guess again.

So soon Luke spoke again: "There's something wrong with many of the scars on your body! If it was just a python, it shouldn't have caused such wounds."

"So, what exactly did you go through? Can you tell me in detail?"

Luke's tone was persistent, as if he wouldn't allow the woman to refuse.

Seeing that Luke was so persistent, the woman couldn't help but reveal an indescribable expression. The expression was very complicated, with fear, tension, and even panic, which made Luke more curious.

Originally, Luke thought that the giant python was at most an awakened spiritual creature, and his current strength was enough to deal with it.

But judging from the scars on the woman's body, there was definitely more to the matter than that.

Especially the torn scar on the woman's face, which confirmed Luke's guess.

"You and I……"

Seeing Luke so strong, the woman hesitated for a while, finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

And from her mouth, Luke finally obtained some extremely important information.

This information made Luke even more interested in the giant python in Snake Valley.

It turned out that the woman in front of them had once been deep into the Snake Valley. There were six people in her group at the time, all of them experienced hiking enthusiasts.

The reason we came to Snake Valley is that a long time ago, Snake Valley was not dangerous, but instead was a camping paradise.

A year ago, many people came here to hike and camp every day. Until one day a huge python appeared here, turning this great camping place into a living hell.

According to the woman's description, she happened to be camping here the night the python appeared.

In addition to the six of them, there were four other travel companions.

However, just as they set up their tent in Snake Valley and chatted around the fire, a giant python appeared beside them without warning.

"That python, it, it can transform!"

"Yes! It will transform into a snake with a human head! The injuries on my body were caused by it!"

When she said this, the woman's body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Luke quickly reached out and patted her shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous.

But just as Luke's hand touched her arm, he felt an icy cold touch on the woman's skin almost instantly, which was unexpected for Luke.

When Luke subconsciously looked down at the woman's arm, he saw a piece of snake skin had emerged from her arm.

Seeing the strange snake skin appearing on the woman's body, Luke frowned immediately and raised the M500 in his hand again.

As if she had sensed the danger, the woman instantly fled into the woods.

Luke was about to chase her, but he found that the way the woman ran was very funny, especially her waist, which twisted like a snake, which made Luke stand there in a daze.

"what's the situation!"

If you say she is a bad person, she even set up roadblocks here to prevent others from going in and dying.

If you say she is a good person, her body shape makes her look too much like a snake demon.

[Spirit Fang] was eager to try, but ultimately failed to activate it.

Luke was a little hesitant, and while he was distracted, the woman's figure had disappeared into the woods.

Looking at the direction where the woman disappeared, Luke finally gave up chasing her. The python had regained consciousness for more than a year, and it was unknown what its current strength was. Without knowing the specific situation in Snake Valley, it was better to wait and see for the time being.

"This Snake Valley seems interesting, but the information is not clear enough at the moment, so we should wait before going there!"

As he spoke, Luke got into the car and turned around and drove in the direction the woman pointed.

After driving for a few more kilometers, Luke finally saw a small town. After parking the car in the parking lot of a motel, Luke stayed there temporarily.

There weren't many people in the town, but when Luke came out of the motel, a few eyes fell on him.

He didn't care, and soon came to the only bar in the town on the recommendation of the motel owner. In his opinion, he must first inquire about the news of Snake Valley before making any plans.

The bar in the town was undoubtedly the best information distribution center, so he soon walked along the town's roads.

There were not many people drinking in the bar during the day. When Luke walked into the bar, he immediately attracted the attention of several drinkers in the bar.

When people realized he was a stranger, the drinkers just glanced at him and ignored him.

The blonde girl at the bar was very tactful and smiled sweetly as soon as she saw Luke.

"What would you like to drink sir?" asked the blonde.

"Whiskey thanks!"

Luke said as he sat down at the bar. The blonde girl quickly brought him a glass of whiskey. Luke picked up the glass and tasted it slowly.

At this time, two more people walked in from outside, and they quickly caught Luke's attention.

"Hmm? Demon Hunter?"
