A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 178 It carried many people

Seeing their defensive posture, the giant python seemed to roll its red eyes.

He Shi said softly, "Pythons have very poor eyesight. If we don't move around and control our breathing, they might not be able to see us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant python immediately turned its head and stared at him, hissing.

When did your body become stiff? No, do you understand?

He broke out in a cold sweat.

He wanted to reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead, but the thing in front of him was so enormous that he dared not move.

Little Emerald Flame let out a "howl," put its paws on its eyes, and turned its head to the side.

I don't know him.

Having no other option, Zhou Hanzhang had to bite the bullet and ask, "What does it mean?"

Little Emerald Flame lowered its paws and let out a soft "Awoo".

It's my dad's friend, and it'll be transforming into a dragon in a few years. How could it have poor eyesight? Your henchman said that in front of others. If it weren't for its magnanimity, they would have already started fighting.

Zhou Hanzhang looked up and saw that there was indeed a large bump on the top of the python's head that seemed about to burst out of its body; it seemed that it was the horn that had not yet grown.

Although Zhou Hanzhang was frightened, he was still thinking about Liu Niang. "Ask her if she can lead us to find the person she saw in the dense forest at the bottom of the mountain?"

Based on the information about the man in black, Zhou Hanzhang felt that the person the giant python had met was very likely Liu Niang.

Little Emerald Flame nodded in a very human-like manner, "Awoo!"

Take us to find someone!

"...You can be a little more polite."

"Ow~"

Oh, please be polite.

You take us to find someone.

"……never mind."

"Hiss."

"Hiss."

The python hissed twice.

Zhou Hanzhang couldn't understand.

She looked at Little Green Flame.

"Awoo."

Little Green Flame immediately provided the translation, saying it didn't know if the person was the one they were looking for, and that the person was very fierce.

Zhou Hanzhang carefully chose his words, "Could we ask it to take us to find it?"

"Awoo!"

"Hiss."

Zhou Hanzhang could only understand Xiao Cuiyan's cries, but not the python's. Xiao Cuiyan's arrogant attitude meant that if the python refused her, it would be fine, but if it angered the python, the three people and the wolf would probably all perish in its belly.

Seeing that the python seemed to understand human speech, she quickly stopped Xiao Cuiyan, who was about to jump up and down, saying, "Alright, I'll ask it. Just translate what it's saying for me."

Zhou Hanzhang emerged from behind Shen Moli and clasped his hands in greeting to the giant python. "Hello, that person is very important to me. Could you please take us to find him?"

"Hiss."

"Awoo!"

What do you mean?

Zhou Hanzhang slapped Xiao Cuiyan on the head, "Just translate properly for me, don't say anything irrelevant."

"Ow~"

Xiao Cuiyan's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

It said we should have been more polite from the start; it was only offering to help us because of my dad, but my attitude was a bit off, so...

"So it's your fault, you little thing!"

Zhou Hanzhang really wanted to slap it again.

He took a deep breath and said to the python, "I'm so sorry, this little thing is only a few days old and doesn't know anything about human relationships. I'm here to apologize on its behalf."

"Hiss."

Zhou Hanzhang then looked at Xiao Cuiyan.

"Ow~"

It said there was no need to apologize, that it wanted to come over to the platform, and asked us to make way and go into the cave to wait for it.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't know what it meant, but he didn't dare to delay. He quickly said to He Shi and Shen Moli, "It wants us to go into the cave and make room for it to crawl over."

After they retreated inside, the python quickly moved its upper body onto the platform.

After the python got into position, it hissed at the group.

Zhou Hanzhang understood it without Xiao Cuiyan translating.

The giant python made the group climb onto its body.

Zhou Hanzhang's lips twitched. "Why don't we just climb down ourselves? With so many people riding on your back, isn't that too much trouble?"

"Fizz!"

"Awoo."

It makes us faster and less troublesome; it says it has carried many people.

Zhou Hanzhang was even less inclined to go up.

Shen Moli grabbed her arm. "Finding your master is the priority."

Little Cuiyan jumped up from beside Zhou Hanzhang and sat directly on the python's head, "Awoo!"

Come here quickly.

"...You really aren't being polite."

Xiao Cuiyan had already gone up, and Shen Moli had said that if she didn't go up, she would be pretentious, so she gritted her teeth and climbed up.

The python's skin was unexpected.

It didn't feel as slippery as I had imagined.

When you touch it, it feels cool, like armor. When you climb on it, you can feel the muscles under the python skin, which are hard and firm yet elastic.

After she sat on the python's back, the sensation was like sitting on a fine mattress, with a slight coolness, which was extremely comfortable.

No wonder so many people want to hunt pythons; just their skin is worth as much as many other valuable things.

When Shen Moli came up, his eyes gleamed with an eerie light even in the dim light of the sky.

"Junior brother, snakes shed their skin, right? Do you think we could talk to it and ask it to leave this layer of skin for me next time it sheds?"

"This...isn't it inappropriate to ask?"

"What's the big deal? We'll never use it anyway. It's great to give it to us; it's like making use of waste."

"Hiss."

The python could always understand what they were saying.

Little Emerald Flame immediately turned its head to translate, "Awoo."

It said it has shed many skins. If you want, it will take us to the skin first, and then we'll go find someone. The place where it shed its skin isn't far from here.

Zhou Hanzhang's lips twitched as he retranslated for Shen Moli.

"Excellent, excellent, thank you so much. I don't have anything good on me, just various medicines, which you probably don't need. I'm a little embarrassed."

Let alone Zhou Hanzhang, even He Shi felt that he was shameless.

Seeing that the two men and the wolf were all looking at him, he wasn't embarrassed at all. "This snakeskin is a top-quality product. Besides being used in medicine, it can be used to make many other things. It's better than wasting it."

Zhou Hanzhang ignored him and said to the python, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Hiss."

"Awoo."

Everyone, hold on tight.

The python began to move, appearing to move very fast, yet its body remained extremely stable. Zhou Hanzhang suddenly felt as if he were riding a high-speed train.

The wind was a bit too strong, and it hurt my face.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the python had moved to another cave, hissing.

"Is this where the skin is molting?"

"Hiss."

Before the translator could arrive, Shen Moli leaped off the snake's back.

Zhou Hanzhang and the others followed them down. They were all extremely shocked to see that this cave was even larger than the one they had just seen, and that it was filled with countless shed skins.
