The most arrogant in history

Chapter 767: Python Killing Operation.

Just then, He Liqing heard the gunshots and hurried over.

Ye Kun sighed and said, "He Liqing, are these the big tribes you mentioned? They attacked us, and we had no choice but to fight back."

He Liqing looked at the captives and the corpses scattered all over the ground. He turned pale with fear and stammered, "Your Majesty, you killed... too many people..."

"If we don't kill them, they will kill me. Are we just going to wait for death here?"

Lu Kaijiang snorted, raised his rifle, and fired at a big tree in front of him, then glared and said, "Whoever dares to go against us, I will shoot, I have plenty of bullets!"

Ye Kun waved his hand to stop Lu Kaijiang and said to He Liqing: "These natives in front of you are left to you to deal with. Let them go back and let their tribe leader come to see me immediately."

He Liqing looked around, asked the captives present in the native language, and reported to Ye Kun: "Your Majesty, you have killed two of the three clan leaders here."

Ye Kun sighed: "Then you go and preside over it and let them elect a new tribe leader and come to see me. If they don't come to see me, I will send troops to completely wipe out their tribe."

He Liqing nodded: "I will go there right away. Tomorrow morning, I will bring several tribal leaders to pay homage to the emperor."

Ye Kun said: "You let the prisoners bury these bodies, and then go."

He Liqing obeyed the order and took his tribesmen and the captives in front of him to clean up the battlefield and deal with the bodies.

Ye Kun asked the logistics staff to take out some food and give it to the natives at the scene.

The natives had no civilization and did not seem sensitive to the death of their tribesmen. Instead, they were very interested in Ye Kun's food and ate it with relish.

Ye Kun also asked his entourage to take out some iron tools and give them to the natives.

After dark, He Liqing took his people away.

Ye Kun rested in the temporary camp, with sentries arranged all around and bonfires lit.

But a sudden heavy rain put out the bonfire.

It was very hot and stuffy in the cabin.

Ye Kun took Wen Axiu and hid in the double mosquito net, sighing:

"It is indeed not easy to develop the South Pacific Islands. Even though we have made adequate preparations, many immigrants and soldiers still fell ill due to acclimatization."

Wen Axiu also said: "The mosquitoes here are too poisonous. It is not suitable for camping in the wild. It is okay during the day, but once it is night, even with a mosquito net, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be bitten by mosquitoes."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "Tell the carpenter camp to build a batch of small boats with enclosed cabins. When we are operating on the canal in the future, we can hide in the cabins at night."

Wen Ah Xiu smiled bitterly: "It can rain three or four times a day. There are rainforests and swamps everywhere. Even gods can't live here."

The accompanying soldiers and technicians all lived in simple tents, hid in mosquito nets, lit mosquito coils, and dared not show their heads.

Ye Kun suddenly thought, if the savages attacked at this time and they were forced to fight, they would probably not be able to escape the bites of mosquitoes, and he didn't know how many of his compatriots would get sick.

Fortunately, the night was very quiet and no natives came to invade.

The next morning, the weather cleared up.

Everyone applied mosquito repellent on their bodies before daring to walk out of the tent.

Ye Kun gathered everyone together and asked, "Brothers, you all worked hard last night. The conditions in the field are too bad. After our operation today, let's retreat to Jiangjun City to rest."

It was not easy to immigrate here.

Ye Kun tried his best to control the infection and mortality rates of the immigrant team.

Lu Kaijiang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. All of us in the advance team have been bitten by mosquitoes here. Although dozens of brothers have died, most of them have survived.”

Ye Kun sighed: "I hope that all the brothers and immigrants can survive here. The death of dozens of brothers is a sin for me."

As he was speaking, He Liqing came over with a dozen natives.

He Liqing clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have called the leaders of the three major tribes to come for you."

Several natives came forward and saluted Ye Kun, imitating He Liqing's behavior.

Ye Kun clasped his fists in return and asked the interpreter to translate: "We are here to be your friends, to help you, and to make your life better."

He Liqing was also there, doing secondary translation.

Several clan leaders, having experienced yesterday's battle, were very afraid of Ye Kun and nodded submissively.

Ye Kun waved his hand and gave some precious swords to the three clan leaders, and said:

"We are going to Lao Longtan to deal with the python now. You guys come with us and see how our warriors get rid of the python."

The three patriarchs were all shocked.

He Liqing asked Ye Kun to wait for a moment.

Not long after, more than fifty members of He Liqing's tribe came, bringing several live deer.

There were also a few men carrying some jars of wine.

He Liqing said: "Your Majesty, we can set off now, please follow me."

Ye Kun followed He Liqing and asked, "Are these live deer your bait?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He Liqing was very proud: "We often trap pythons with baits like this. However, the pythons in Laolongtan are too big, and we have failed to trap them many times."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "As long as you lure the python out, I can destroy it."

After walking for more than two hours, we arrived at a swamp rain forest.

He Liqing pointed at the rain forest and said, "This is the Old Dragon Pond. There are two giant pythons in it. They have been lurking here all year round. We cannot enter this rain forest. The poison gas of the pythons will kill us."

Ye Kun smiled and nodded: "So, shall we wait here?"

He Liqing nodded and called on his fellow tribesmen to start working.

The natives came forward and gave the live deer wine.

Then they tied the live deer with a long rope, cut its skin, and pushed it into the rainforest.

Ye Kun smelled a strong smell of blood and a hint of herb.

The fawn seemed to be aware of the danger and was unwilling to enter the rainforest.

The natives picked up stones or branches from the ground and threw them at the deer, shouting and yelling.

The frightened deer finally went into the rain forest.

Ye Kun ordered the sharpshooter to get ready, and he himself held up a telescope and watched the movements in the rainforest.

He Liqing also learned how to use a telescope and served as the on-site commander.

Soon, a rustling sound was heard in the rainforest, and a fishy smell spread.

He Liqing shouted and ordered his men to tighten the long rope and retrieve the live deer.

The natives were in a panic, pulling at the rope together.

But some of the ropes were entangled in the trees in the rainforest and could not be retrieved.

There was only a living deer, being pulled by a rope and moving backwards step by step.

Ye Kun finally discovered a golden python through the telescope!

Sure enough, its size was horrifying, its head was as big as a water tank, and its body was as thick as a buffalo!

It is obviously impossible for such a big python to swallow an elephant.

But swallowing a buffalo seems to be really okay!

The soldiers around Ye Kun also changed color.

No one has ever seen such a giant python.

He Liqing said, "Your Majesty, be careful. A python like this can suck you into its stomach if it breathes from a long distance!"
