My Endless Life.

Chapter 412 Control
"No! Run!!!"

When Sam saw that the python was not driven away by the insect repellent pellets as they had expected, he immediately shouted to everyone.

Without hesitation, all the bodyguards who were ready put down what they were holding and turned around and ran.

This also applies to Anne.

She turned around and ran without thinking, holding the metal container she found in the ruins.

Li Qiao had originally planned to escape. After all, the few insect repellent bullets she had just fired had perfectly attracted all of the python's hatred. Now the python was swimming towards her quickly.

But when she saw that Sun Xiaoqing did not run away, but was approaching the python, Li Qiao stopped again and shouted at Sun Xiaoqing:
"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?!"

"..."

Sun Xiaoqing was extremely nervous and her hands were sweating. She turned around and looked at Li Qiao, then looked at Li Qi who was sitting on her shoulder.

Sun Xiaoqing's gaze made Li Qiao realize something.

It must not have been Sun Xiaoqing's idea to approach the giant python. It was Li Qi who asked her to do so.

The fact was just as Li Qiao thought, approaching the giant python was indeed Li Qi's order.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Swallowing her saliva, Sun Xiaoqing nervously asked Li Qi on her shoulder.

"Trust me, I won't let you die."

Although Sun Xiaoqing is not even a qualified tool now, Li Qi is not the kind of boss who would abandon him after he has done his job. Unless it is an extremely urgent situation with no choice, Li Qi will save his subordinates.

Therefore, he naturally would not let Sun Xiaoqing go to die.

Approaching a huge monster that she definitely couldn't defeat, Sun Xiaoqing was of course very nervous.

But out of trust in Li Qi, she still followed Li Qi's request and approached the giant python little by little.

The giant python swam towards this side. It didn't pay any attention to Sun Xiaoqing who was approaching it. In its pair of vertical pupils, there was only Li Qiao's figure.

This woman, who threw five piles of feces at it as soon as they met, topped its hunting list.

It must eat the other party alive to relieve the hatred in its heart!
However, for some reason, when the giant python entered the camp, an indescribable feeling of fear surged in my heart.

Its body seemed to tremble, and its pair of eyes, which were half a person's height, instantly turned towards Sun Xiaoqing.

It saw Sun Xiaoqing.

"hiss--!"

The python stuck out its tongue and made a threatening sound. It looked at Sun Xiaoqing warily with some suspicion in its eyes. It seemed to be wondering why it felt threatened by this tiny person in front of it whose mouth was not even as big as its own.

Until it saw the figurine Li Qi standing on Sun Xiaoqing's shoulder and met his eyes.

The moment when the man and the snake's eyes met.

Its body seemed to have stopped in time and no longer moved.

……

"Wait, Sun doesn't seem to have run away yet!"

Annie ran for a while holding the container in her hand, only to find that something was missing.

When he turned around, he saw that Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing had not taken any action and stayed where they were, confronting the giant python.

Sam looked back and expressed his deep incomprehension of the two people who had not yet run away:
"What are they doing? Waiting to die? Never mind them, Dr. Malor, let's go first!"

"and many more."

Annie called out to Sam who was about to run away, her eyes fixed on Sun Xiaoqing who was approaching the giant python, and she did not leave, holding the container in her hand.

Sam looked at Anne with even greater surprise and asked:
"Do you want to die too?! If we don't run away, we won't be able to escape after they are eaten by the python!"

"Don't forget, they have rare items in their hands!"

Anne reminded Sam.

In her eyes, there must be something strange on Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing. Not to mention the distant things, just the fact that Li Qiao turned her left hand into a mechanical device must have been affected by the strange object.

If Annie didn't know that Li Qiao was a puppet, her guess would be the closest to the truth.

Now Annie has another guess, that is, the rare item on Sun Xiaoqing's body may help everyone get through this crisis.

If Sun Xiaoqing can really do it and is willing to help Annie and the others, then perhaps this exploration of the ancient ruins will be much easier than imagined.

Annie stared in the direction of Sun Xiaoqing, holding the metal container, and her fingertips gradually turned white, which was a sign of excessive force and also proved her nervousness at the moment.

Seeing that Annie didn't move, Sam had no choice but to grit his teeth and stop beside Annie.

This time the exploration of the ancient ruins is mainly carried out by the scientific expedition team, and Anne is the only high-level archaeological team member now. If Anne dies, Sam and his team can only declare this mission a failure.

So no matter what, Sam has to ensure Annie's safety.

The two men stopped, and their subordinates didn't understand why and had to stay where they were.

In the end, everyone stopped and looked in the direction of Sun Xiaoqing with expectation, confusion, or ridicule.

They are waiting for a result, a result that concerns everyone's life.

Sun Xiaoqing could not see the gazes of the people behind her, but she could feel the pressure coming from her.

She looked at the giant python opposite her. At this distance, she seemed to be able to smell the fishy odor coming from its mouth.

Hearing the giant python's breathing, Sun Xiaoqing felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

She was like a death row inmate who was facing both the death penalty and amnesty at the same time, nervously waiting for the unknown final result.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It could be a few minutes, or just a few seconds, or even to Sun Xiaoqing, it felt like half a lifetime had passed.

As everyone was watching nervously and Sun Xiaoqing was feeling uneasy, the giant python finally made a move. "!!!"

Her pupils shrank and Sun Xiaoqing subconsciously wanted to step back, but she quickly stopped.

It was not because she had such a strong willpower, but because she saw the huge python lower its head as tall as a human in front of her.

Just like a subject meeting its king, the giant python fell to the ground and expressed its "submission" to Sun Xiaoqing.

Everyone who saw this scene, except Li Qiao, couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Sam even slapped himself in disbelief.

Snapped!
The crisp sound drew Anne's attention over here, and then Anne heard Sam muttering to himself:
"This...is not a dream..."

……

What Sam said was also what Sun Xiaoqing wanted to say.

When she saw the giant python crawling in front of her like a well-behaved little animal, for a moment, Sun Xiaoqing had the illusion that she was dreaming.

However, when Li Qi on her shoulder jumped onto the giant python's head, Sun Xiaoqing suddenly felt relieved.

After all, that was Li Qi, a mysterious and magical child who was hard to understand.

Li Qi stood on top of the giant python. The already huge head looked more like a small mountain compared to his current action figure body.

But at this moment, this "hill" obediently let Li Qi step on it without moving.

After his mental power reached the fifth level, Li Qi possessed the ability to hypnotize others through the air.

Although there have been such experiences before, they were more like psychological hypnosis and would be interrupted by others.

Now, as long as Li Qi wants, he can achieve complete control over a creature without using spirit seeds.

And the lower the intelligence, the easier it is for Li Qi to control the opponent.

The giant python seems to have some intelligence, but not much. Its total mental strength is much lower than that of an ordinary person, which happens to be its weakness.

Because of this, with just a glance, Li Qi successfully controlled it and made it his mount.

"Sun, how...how did you do that?"

Seeing Sun Xiaoqing also reaching out to touch the giant python, Annie and others gathered around and asked in shock.

Sun Xiaoqing responded according to Li Qi's instructions:
"It's a rare item... You know, I have a rare item on me."

As she spoke, Sun Xiaoqing turned her head to look at the giant python's head, and saw that Li Qi, who was on top of the giant python's head, had disappeared at some point.

He didn't go back to Sun Xiaoqing either, so I guess he went to Li Qiao.

"A strange thing..." Sun Xiaoqing's answer made Annie's eyes flicker. She looked at the giant python lying obediently beside Sun Xiaoqing, and thought of the person who was swallowed by the giant python before. She turned to Sun Xiaoqing and asked:

"Sun, can you make it spit out what it ate?"

Sun Xiaoqing was startled. She turned to look at the giant python, mainly at its belly for a few seconds, then turned her head back and said hesitantly:
"Dr. Anne, please forgive me for being a little blunt. The person it swallowed before has been digested in its stomach for a long time. Even if it can be vomited out, it can't be saved. And that scene, I believe it is definitely not what you want to see..."

"I know, but we need...something from Dr. Anthony."

Anne said seriously.

Everyone knows that the person swallowed by the giant python must have died long ago. There is no air in the stomach, and it is full of the python's digestive fluid. If it is spit out at this time, only half-melted corpse remains will be left.

But Annie asked Sun Xiaoqing to do this not to save people, but for something else.

Sun Xiaoqing hesitated when she heard this, and Li Qiao, who was behind the crowd, spoke up:
"It's for the rare items, right?"

"!"

Annie's pupils shrank slightly and she turned to look at Li Qiao.

Li Qiao smiled slightly when she saw this: "It seems that you understand Chinese."

Li Qiao just said that sentence in Chinese, but Annie reacted instantly, which proved that she did not not understand Chinese, but was just pretending not to understand it.

That's true. For official scientific researchers like them, mastering multiple languages ​​is a necessary skill. It would be strange if they couldn't understand them.

Sun Xiaoqing, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly realized what was going on.

Annie and her group belong to the Abnormal Management Bureau, which is a department that deals with supernatural phenomena. There must be strange things inside them.

Even if Annie and her group came here in August when strange objects and pollution had not yet erupted, they would definitely have at least one strange object on hand to protect themselves.

But from beginning to end, Sun Xiaoqing never saw them use any magical objects.

Now it seems that it’s not that they don’t want to use it, but that the strange object has already followed Dr. Anthony into the giant python’s stomach.

There's even a good chance that there's more than one item in your belly.

Annie looked at Li Qiao seriously. After a while, she sighed deeply and said:
"Yes, the magic object we carry is a magic object that can protect us, but the holder of that magic object is Dr. Anthony."

After saying this, she looked at Sun Xiaoqing sincerely and said, "We really need this rare item, so, Sun, I'm counting on you."

Sun Xiaoqing did not answer, she just looked at Li Qiao, waiting for Li Qiao's decision.

After receiving instructions from Li Qi, Li Qiao asked:
"Then first of all, you have to tell me what that thing you are holding in your arms."

"This doesn't seem to be relevant to what we are discussing..."

Anne hugged the metal container tightly and spoke cautiously.

Li Qiao smiled and said, "How can it not be a problem? After all, this giant python...came here for this thing."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Anne's face changed drastically.
