Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"This...! It was intentional? They waited until our people retreated before eating the beef?!" Ma Zhao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Otherwise, how could the timing be so precise? The soldiers had just carried away the machine gun, and the next thing they knew, it was going to eat the cow!

The others looked at each other in disbelief; it was simply unbelievable.

Could it be that the giant snake has been watching us the whole time?

The thought of this sent chills down their spines!

"Grass!"

Xu Jun angrily slammed the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

This is a direct slap in his face!

Their plan was completely seen through by the giant snake, which not only ate the calf for free, but also left them and their soldiers to stand in the sun for so long, making them sweat profusely.

His face turned bright red from being toyed with by a beast.

He reached out and snatched a machine gun from a soldier, ready to fire at the mouth of the underground river.

"Are you crazy!" Ma Zhao shoved him and snatched the machine gun away.

Using a machine gun like that is suicidal!

Chang Kun was also stunned by this action. Did you think you were Schwarzenegger, shooting a machine gun with your bare hands?

If the recoil causes him to lose control of the gun, he might turn around and shoot everyone in the shed.

The other soldiers quickly moved away from Xu Jun; this kind of incompetent teammate could get them killed.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill this beast!" With the machine gun taken away, Xu Jun drew his Type 54 pistol from his waist and struggled to charge towards the mouth of the underground river.

Ma Zhao chuckled, then suddenly released his hands, no longer blocking Xu Jun.

Go ahead, go ahead, let him try to die if he wants, just don't drag yourself down with him.

Xu Jun: ? ? ?

Why didn't you stop me? Keep holding me!

Am I really supposed to go and fight the giant snake alone?

Despite losing face, Xu Jun reluctantly lowered his hands and stopped clamoring about killing the giant snake.

Chang Kun was overjoyed. This man was really interesting; he not only knew how to put on airs, but he was also all bark and no bite.

The giant snake could sense everyone's movements and was incredibly fast. If it tried to break out of the underground river mouth, everyone present would be caught up in no time and would have no chance of escape.

Moreover, those palm-sized scales on its body are no mere decorations.

A Type 54 pistol? It definitely couldn't even penetrate armor.

The giant snake didn't chase after them to eat them, which clearly shows it was showing mercy. Could it really be a descendant of the white dragon, someone who wouldn't harm people indiscriminately?

But whether it's killing, capturing, or driving away, the mission will be difficult to complete with the strength of just these few people!

Just as everyone was in shock, suddenly!

The dark river, a reddish-brown stream, gradually thinned out and disappeared in less than two minutes, leaving only a large, dark hole underground.

this!!

Everyone was stunned, standing there staring at the entrance of the underground river cave, unable to recover for a long time.

The river, which had been flowing continuously, suddenly disappeared.

Chang Kun stared at the giant snake he sensed, remaining silent.

The white snake's belly did not swell, and it was unclear where it had taken the calf. Its small horns seemed to be glowing, shimmering with light.

It turns out that the legend of the White Dragon is true, and this giant snake is very likely a descendant of the White Dragon.

But what does it mean that it stopped at the confluence of the Chaohe and Baihe rivers?

After thinking for a moment, Chang Kun came up with a possibility: Could it be that he had given birth to a few white snakes and was weak and needed to replenish his body, which is why he ate beef and mutton?

Ma Zhao pondered for a moment, unable to make sense of it, then turned to Chang Kun: "Brother Chang, what do you think?"

Chang Kun shook his head. He didn't understand the situation with the giant snake either. He felt that it didn't want to hurt people, but he wasn't entirely sure he could win.

Xu Jun, standing to the side, smirked and gritted his teeth: "What other way is there? Send people into the underground river cave and wipe it out with heavy firepower."

"What? Are you sending people again? Or are you letting others rush in while you stay behind and watch?" Ma Zhao had long disapproved of Xu Jun's approach.

"Bullshit!" Xu Jun retorted angrily, pointing at Chang Kun, "Then what use are the people you found!"

Ma Zhao immediately retorted, "It's better than wasting your young calf and making the comrades stand in the sun for most of the day!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to start arguing, Lao Liu quickly stepped in between them: "Gentlemen, please say less. It's all for work..."

"Hmph! Hmph!"

The two snorted angrily and turned their faces away, unwilling to look at each other's sour faces.

Old Liu sighed and hesitated, then said, "No, I'll take some men down into the underground river to take a look."

There was no other way; the commander-in-chief's ultimatum was that the construction progress must be restored by tomorrow. As he was in charge of security at the construction site, he was naturally the first to bear the responsibility.

Old Liu selected a few strong young men from the security team, armed with guns and knives, and charged straight into the underground river mouth.

It must be said that people at that time were truly simple and honest, knowing full well the immense danger below, yet still braving the perils.

In later generations, no matter how grand the promises made by the leaders, no one would take the risk... Of course, this excludes those model workers who work overtime for free and even encourage their cancer-stricken colleagues to work overtime for free.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Chang Kun saw in his senses that the giant snake was heading north with the receding waters of the underground river, getting further and further away from his sensing range.

Is the giant serpent going upstream to the White River?

"Chang Kun!" Ma Zhao was a little anxious. Chang Kun was someone he had brought with him, and it would be difficult to explain if something happened to him.

"Brother Ma, it's alright." Chang Kun turned around and gave him a reassuring look. The giant snake was getting further and further away, so it shouldn't pose a threat to him anymore.

Ma Zhao opened his mouth, then sighed, "Fine, you've got guts, kid. I can't back down either. I'll risk my life to keep you company today!"

Having said that, he followed Chang Kun, and as they reached the mouth of the underground river, he glanced back and said, "We're not like some people who just hide in the back, humph!"

Xu Jun's face flushed red. He immediately cursed, "Damn it! Who are you talking about? Whoever chickens out is a coward!"

He's a man from Beijing, and he's been ridiculed in the face; how could he not have a temper?

Now that several people had gone ahead to scout the way, he was no longer too afraid.

"Let's go down too! Everyone, carry your machine guns!"

Directing the soldiers to slowly descend to the mouth of the underground river, Xu Jun discovered that the underground river ran north-south, and Lao Liu had already led the security team to search southward.

"Let's go, Brother Ma, let's head north." Through his senses, Chang Kun discovered that the giant snake was following the underground river northward, and in a little while, it would probably be out of the range of his senses.

"Okay, here you go." Ma Zhao took out a headlamp from his bag, and the two of them turned on the headlamps and headed north.

Xu Jun hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow behind Ma Zhao and Chang Kun. Neither of them seemed like fools; he wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.

There wasn't much silt in the underground river, and the riverbed was all wet stone slabs. It took Chang Kun and Ma Zhao more than an hour to walk four miles.

The soldiers behind him were even more distressed, as the machine gun barrel couldn't get wet, and they had to be extra careful when walking.

Upon arriving here, the giant snake they sensed was only a little over a thousand meters away, glancing behind them every now and then, seemingly having already noticed the group following them.

Seeing a fork in the riverbed, Chang Kun had a sudden idea: "Brother Ma, there are only two of us, let's take this small path."

He planned to send Xu Jun, who was behind him, to take the lead and test the giant snake's attitude first.
