Chapter 3: Flame Python and England Longbow

　　 Bright sunshine.
　　 The huge fireball-like sun in June seemed to be crazy, and the world was scorching lifelessly. The air was extremely hot and hot. The water in a river on the wilderness seemed to boil.
　　 Beside the river, there is a majestic city-the Blue Lion City. As the capital of the Blue Lion Kingdom, it is magnificent, like an ancient beast lying on the ground. Inside the city, various buildings are scattered, with the central palace as a dot and distributed in a radial pattern.
　　 Suddenly, the door of the palace opened, and a group of violent cavalry rushed out of the city, and pedestrians on the street evaded.
　　 Soon this team of cavalry rushed out of the Blue Lion City and set foot on the dirt road outside the city, and yellow dust rose in a flash. But regardless of the cavalry, the team kept going straight away.
　　……
　　 After half an hour.
　　Richard arrived on a gentle hillside outside the city and jumped off immediately. The cavalry behind them also dismounted, flashed away, and vaguely protected Richard.
　　The wizard in the dungeon was tied to the horse, and Bian's face was pale. After being untied by the captain of the dungeon guard and pulled off, the station was unstable.
　　The captain of the guard can ignore this. After knowing that the wizard is just a liar, the fear has all disappeared, only anger. Kicked and kicked the wizard in front of Richard, then looked at Richard with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, you see..."
　　Richard ignored the captain, but looked at the wizard and asked, "Where did you say that the python was seen at the time, show me?"
"In..." The wizard looked up at the distance, looked carefully for a while, and finally reached out a finger, "Just under that tree, when I was passing by, the python suddenly appeared and almost scared me. But okay, it It seems that I'm not interested in me, so I walked away quickly, and only then let me retrieve my life."
　　 Richard nodded his head slightly and turned to look at the captain of the guard. The captain of the guard waved his hand vigorously, and the dozen soldiers who followed him pulled out their weapons one after another, and quickly passed to the front.
　　 Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
　　The place the wizard pointed to arrived quickly, but not to mention a big python, even a rabbit.
　　 The captain of the caretaker looked at the wizard. He was a little bit unscrupulous. The wizard narrowed his neck to fear that Richard was lying, and quickly explained: "Wang... Prince His Royal Prince, it may be that the python went to the rest..."
　　 Richard squatted down, his eyes falling on the ground. The young weeds were peeled away, revealing a trace of flame burning below. It seemed that there was indeed a wandering flaming python passing by.
　　Take a little soil with nails, Licha put it in front of his nose and sniffed, with a yellow phosphorus taste similar to garlic, which is also mixed with the special smell of sulfur.
Richard stood up and turned his head to command the captain of the caretaker: "Search forward, pay attention to the feet and trees. The snake is a warming animal, cold and hot, this weather is likely to be still and sunbathing somewhere, as long as there is no You can find it when you leave this area."
　　 "Yes." The captain of the guard nodded vigorously, without a word, quickly conveyed Richard's order to the men, and the soldiers scattered forward to start the search.
　　About ten minutes later, the news came back. A trace of a python was found in a grass more than 200 meters in front, but I was not sure whether it was the one I was looking for.
　　Richard didn't hesitate, hurried to it, walked a few tens of meters away from the python and was stopped by the captain of the guard.
　　 "His Royal Highness, you have to be careful, pythons are dangerous." The captain of the guard said, "Why don't I ask someone to try it out to see if it will catch fire?"
　　 Richard shook his head and said blankly: "No more."
　　 While speaking, Richard's eyes had fallen into the grass a few tens of meters away. A brown piebald python was lying inside, eyes closed like a nap. Under the light, the python's surroundings looked distorted.
　　 Richard knows that it is the refraction of light generated when light passes through different media.
　　 There is only air around the python. The only reason for the light refraction is that the surrounding temperature is very high, which should greatly exceed the average temperature of the air. Considering that the surrounding weeds are not scorched, the fire point will not exceed 200°C, and it is likely to be between tens of degrees Celsius and one hundred and dozens of degrees Celsius.
　　A normal python can't do this, so the answer is already obvious.
Richard said to the captain of the caretaker: "The person who asked you to prepare, do not need to tempt, and proceed to catch directly. Try the opponent's defense with a bow and arrow first, it is best to catch the live after the serious injury, otherwise you can die. "
　　 "Yes." The captain of the caretaker nodded, quickly left Richard's side, and began to command, the shouting sounded, and several soldiers with the highest level of shooting skills quickly took up bows and arrows.
　　The bows and arrows used by the soldiers, in Richard's view, were similar to medieval English longbows. This kind of bow and arrow is generally about 1.5 meters long, and the individual is up to 2 meters long. The back of the bow is made of a complete piece of wood. The wood is purple fir, which is strong and flexible. The bowstrings are made from lamb intestines or beef tendons. This kind of bow and arrow, because of the long length of the back of the bow, gives the arrow a huge power and a long range, which can shoot the arrow 350 meters away.
　　 Generally at a distance of 200 meters to 250 meters, it can penetrate leather armor. Within 200 meters, it can penetrate chain mail. Within 100 meters, it can penetrate the strongest plate armor. Within 50 meters, with the exception of shields and specially-made armor, there is hardly anything that can resist its shooting, which can be said to be indestructible.
　　 At this time, the distance between the soldier and the snake is about 50 meters.
　　Four soldiers picked up their bows and arrows, took out a bundle of 24 arrows from the quiver on the back, untied them, and inserted them directly on the ground in front of them. Each arrow has a length of nearly one meter, and it can be caught without bending down when it is inserted on the ground, thus allowing continuous shooting with ease.
　　Four soldiers are ready, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com glanced at each other and took a deep breath, each grabbed an arrow and placed it on the longbow, and began to aim.
　　 "咻咻咻咻", four consecutive sounds, four arrows shoot like a meteor, shot at the location of the python, but there is no hit, the nearest one is also more than ten centimeters away from the python. After all, the soldiers are not all sharp shooters who wear Yang in a hundred steps. On the battlefield, they rely on dense volleys to ensure their hit rate.
　　 was not angry about this, and continued to watch.
　　 The four soldiers who failed once soon each grabbed an arrow in front of them and shot it on the longbow. This time it took a little longer to aim, followed by the four sounds of "BooBooBooBoo".
　　 The disturbed python was about to take action. Four arrows fell, and two of them hit directly. One hit the tail and the other directly penetrated the body, and the red blood flowed out quickly.
　　 "His!"
　　 The python screamed, as if angry, and twitched violently, with two clicks breaking the arrow. Opening his mouth, the snake letter spit out, ejecting a large cluster of Mars. After swimming, he rushed towards the crowd, and the atmosphere was tense instantly, and a few soldiers retreated subconsciously.
　　 At this time, the most exciting thing was not Richard or the captain of the guard, but the wizard.
The wizard almost jumped up, grabbed the captain of the guard, and said repeatedly: "You see it, you see it, what I said is true, there is really a python that will catch fire, and His Royal Highness has promised me, so I can't kill I."
The captain of the guard was nervous, and there was no time to take care of it. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the wizard down to the ground, pulled out his long sword, and calmed some panicked soldiers with his momentum, shouting: "Afraid of anything! Give me a bow and arrow to continue shooting. , The rest of them have the net ready, I want to catch it alive!"
　　 "Yes." The soldiers responded quickly, getting busy.
