At the critical moment, Martin pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Anaconda's head, and Owen could see that one of Anaconda's eyes was missing.
Pythons have no vocal cords and cannot make sounds, otherwise they would definitely make a shrill scream.
The snake's body emerged from the water and fell back into the water. Martin was ready for the second shot, aiming the gun at the anaconda.
Next to him, the snake catcher was pulled into the boat by everyone. His first move after he was safe was not to check himself. Instead, he rushed to the side of the boat desperately and raised Martin's gun with his hand.
"Bang~~"
Martin's second shot missed, and the bullet flew into the air.
"No, stop..."
The snake catcher's shout also came out at the same time. Martin became anxious, got rid of him, and re-aimed, but the anaconda was no longer in the water.
"what are you doing?"
"Damn it, you can't kill it. I finally found this giant anaconda. It's not worth anything if you kill it..."
The boat fell into silence for a moment. Owen frowned and looked at the ponytail man in front of him. To be honest, Owen had a bad impression of him. Everyone saved his life, but this guy just didn't say thank you. Instead, he complained a little.
In an instant, Irving had already made a basic judgment on him. He was an extremely selfish guy with incorrect views.
…
"Thank you, thank you for saving me..."
Feeling the eyes of the people around him, the ponytail man also knew that his tone was inappropriate, but no one greeted him.
The anaconda had already run away. Martin took back his gun. It was a heartwarming thing to save a white-eyed wolf. If he had known in advance that the ponytail man was such a guy, he might not have saved him and left him and his python to fend for themselves.
destroy.
"what's your name?"
Kroll was the temporary leader of the ship. Seeing that the situation had cooled down, she stepped forward and asked.
"Saro."
"Are you a snake catcher?"
"Yes, I work for museums or collectors..."
"Where are you from?"
"Uruguay."
Salo's eyes flickered, and he was also looking at the other people on the boat when Kroll asked him about his identity.
"Is that anaconda valuable?"
This time it was Jackson who spoke.
Salo looked at him, then glanced at everyone, and nodded: "This anaconda is almost nine meters long, the longest I have ever seen. Ordinary anacondas are no more than five meters, and some can grow up to six meters.
It can be sold for one hundred thousand dollars. One like this one starts at least one million dollars. If it is sold at auction, the price will be higher, but it must be alive. If it is dead, it will be worth several thousand dollars at most...
…”
There is a huge difference in the price of anacondas, live and dead.
Salo seemed to be answering Jackson's question, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to clear his name.
"What's that on your waist?"
This time it was Karl who asked the question. As he asked, everyone also discovered a small transparent bottle on Salo's waist, which seemed to be a spider.
"my pet."
Salo smiled and no one asked any more questions. The preferences of people here in the Amazon are always different from what they imagined. Martin kept a snake in his cab, which was also his pet.
"You... don't seem to be ordinary tourists..."
After everyone stopped asking questions, Salo began to inquire about the details of everyone in the audience.
Kroll said: "Yes, we are a film crew and we are here to make a documentary."
"Documentary?"
"Yes, about the Shu'er people. Unfortunately, we are not lucky. The Shu'er people's villages are still there, but the people are gone."
Jackson is a talkative guy, and Salo only asked a few questions and almost told all his secrets.
At this time, Monica came close to Owen and whispered: "I don't like him."
Owen said: "Me too."
Salo's words sounded very reasonable, and they gave the best explanation for what he had just done. It seemed that he was not incomprehensible in desperation, but Owen just didn't like him. This stemmed from an intuition and was also a reason.
This is a habit. When he was a policeman, he didn't like guys who flashed their eyes when talking, and there was no doubt that this guy was very selfish. No matter how he tried to clear himself up, it would be useless.
The conversation over there was still continuing, but Salo suddenly said: "I know where the Shuar people have gone, and we can make a deal. You help me catch the anaconda just now, and I will tell you the whereabouts of the Shuar people.
"
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Shuar?"
"Yes."
Salo answered confidently.
"But we just saved you."
"These are two different things. Even if the anaconda doesn't save me, it will continue to attack you after killing me. Therefore, this cannot be counted. Why don't you think carefully about what I said? That anaconda is worth at least one million US dollars. I can divide it.
I’ll give you a part, and with the money, you can make as many documentaries as you want…”
"Well, now everyone dislikes him..."
Owen joked, and just as he said, Salo was filled with hatred for himself again.
"No way, there's no way we can help you catch those damn anacondas. Go to hell with your one million dollars..."
Danny's tone was very bad, and the others also looked angry.
"Okay, then I'll get off the boat at the next village."
Salo also knew that he was not welcome on this ship. He consciously found a corner for himself and glanced at everyone from time to time, but the smile on his face always made people uncomfortable.
The atmosphere on the boat calmed down, Martin got into the cab, and the boat started again. No one paid any attention to Salo, and Salo no longer mentioned catching snakes. The boat moved forward in the river. As for the boat before Salo, it could only
It was left there for the time being. There was a small explosion in the wheelhouse and the ship could no longer move.
Along the way, Martin sailed the boat, and Adrian still called Old John every once in a while, but there was still no response.
After walking for a while, Martin turned off the engine, then pointed to a wooden house on the roadside and said: "That's Old John's home, and Old John lives there."
This is a small wooden house with a dock outside. It seems that this old John is really as they said, not good at words and not sociable. Otherwise, Owen would not be able to imagine what kind of person would live here by himself.
Kroll followed Martin ashore, and they went to the cabin to find Old John. After knowing his character, Kroll decided to come forward in person to see if he could persuade him. Owen and others were waiting on the boat, but on the dock
There was no Old John's ship, and Owen doubted whether they could find Old John.
Sure enough, old John was not at home, and the wooden house was empty.
The ship restarted, but things about the documentary were not going well. There were one after another situations, and everyone was in a bad mood. Only Salo was hiding in the corner, with that gentleman-like smile still on his face, but Owen always felt that
That smile is very evil and makes people feel uncomfortable.
The ship continued to move forward, but without any purpose. Old John was not found. Now they could either wander around aimlessly and try their luck to see if they could meet the Shuar people by chance, or return to Belem and end this trip early.
Journey, there may be a third possibility, which is to cooperate with Salo, but no one wants to consider the third possibility. What Salo has done makes people not want to cooperate with him at all, not to mention, he is probably for
He lied to trick everyone into helping him catch snakes.
The atmosphere on the ship was very dull. Owen walked to the stern of the ship and leaned on the railing to look into the distance. He always had a mysterious feeling that something was staring at them, but he still found nothing.
Owen shook his head, secretly wondering if he was nervous, and returned to the cabin, but he didn't know that after he left, a pair of cold eyes without any warmth slowly surfaced, and a body covered with black and green patterns loomed in the green river water.
, then flashed, and then disappeared again. In the corner of the deck, when Salo saw this scene, the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc.
