Chapter 494 Two Silly People, Eating Fruit
After a while, a huge head suddenly emerged from the river.
It was a snake head as big as a basin. Its head was broad and flat, and its eyes were like two burning flames, emitting a cold light.
As it swam, it raised its head a little, and its shiny black scales sparkled with a cold luster. Each scale was like polished obsidian, smooth as a mirror, like natural armor, both beautiful and terrifying.
The river water surged as it swam, forming huge ripples. Its huge body scared the fish in the river and made them flee in all directions.
Suddenly, it swung its tail violently, creating a huge curtain of water and splashing water everywhere. The fish in the river were frightened and even jumped out of the water. The scene was quite spectacular.
Moreover, most of the fish that jumped out of the water were big fish, very fat, weighing about ten pounds. At this moment, the giant snake suddenly turned its head, rushed towards the fish quickly, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed several fish at once, at an astonishing speed.
Although the fish were fat, they were just a snack for its size.
It glanced at the small fish around it, then turned its head back without interest and continued swimming forward.
Its huge body meandered in the river. Its movements seemed slow, but it carried an unstoppable force, like a moving hill, breaking the tranquility of the river.
It is Momo.
This river area is relatively remote, with no villages nearby and few people passing by, so no one saw this spectacular scene.
If there were someone there, they might see a big thing following closely behind it.
It was a turtle, a huge river turtle!
The shell of this big river turtle is more than one meter wide, very broad and thick, and covered with intricate lines, like annual rings carved by time. Every groove seems to be telling the story of its long life journey.
Its head is also broad and flat, and its skin is rough like bark and dark gray, which complements the color of the carapace.
Its limbs are as thick as pillars and covered with thick scales. Each scale is as hard as iron, as if it can easily crush the gravel at the bottom of the river. Its claws are also thick and sharp.
It struggled to swim upstream on the river like a moving stone sculpture. Although it looked bulky, it was quite fast and followed Mo Mo closely.
When Momo was eating the big fish, it was not in a good mood. It was tired of all the fish and shrimps and wanted to eat something fresh!
After a while, Momo swam to the river bank, which was shady and sparsely populated. After it came, the nearby birds flew away and it was very quiet.
Perhaps it was tired from swimming in the river, so after getting ashore, it lay down on the river bank, closed its eyes, and occasionally shook its tail, looking quite comfortable.
But the big river turtle that followed was not happy. After quickly climbing ashore, it came to Momo, stretched out its front paws, patted Momo's huge body, and then called out, "Woo-woo-"
Mo Mo opened his eyes lazily, and then saw that the big river turtle was calling even more urgently.
"woo woo woo woo--"
Seeing it so anxious, Momo slowly moved his body and climbed towards the small fruit tree by the river.
There is a wild apple tree here. Now is the fruit-bearing season. There are many fruits on the tree, some big and some small, some red and some green. The air is filled with a faint fruity fragrance.
However, this fruit tree is quite tall, and the fruits on the lower branches have all been picked, leaving only the upper branches with fruits.
What the big river turtle is thinking about most is the fruits here.
Momo crawled under the fruit tree, then lifted up its body and climbed up along the trunk. Its body was thicker than the trunk, so in order not to hurt the fruit tree, it did not wrap its body around the trunk, so as not to crush the fruit tree, and then there would be no fruit to eat next year.
In the blink of an eye, Momo's head shot up the tree, but its body was still wrapped around the base.
For it, eating a fruit is as easy as breathing, but for the giant river turtle, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
After Momo climbed up the tree, he picked the largest fruit and took a bite.
This fruit is slightly bigger than an adult's fist and is bright red, but it is very small for Momo. The fish before could still satisfy his hunger, but this fruit can only fill the gaps between his teeth.
The big river turtle under the tree became anxious when it saw the snake open its mouth and eat the largest fruit without picking the fruit down.
"woo woo woo woo--"
The big river turtle cried out anxiously and stretched out its front paws to slap Mo Mo's body.
"Pah-pah-pah-"
It made a loud slapping sound. Fortunately, Momo had a sturdy body. If it were any other animal, it would have been hurt.
"Roar--"
Mo Mo lowered his head, widened his eyes, and growled at it. The voice was very low and a little fierce.
The big river turtle stopped flapping its claws and retracted them, but it was still calling out, "Woo-woo-woo--"
It stretched its neck, opened its wide mouth, and kept barking, somewhat impatiently, like a hungry little animal, and its barking was quite loud, and the air around it seemed to tremble.
Momo moved his body a little impatiently, raised his tail, stretched it towards the fruit on the branch, and then swung his tail towards the branch on which the fruit was hanging. The thin branch broke immediately and the fruit fell from the tree immediately.
"Ouch!"
The big river turtle under the tree opened its mouth wide and caught the falling fruit with great precision!
"Click, click-"
Its bite force was amazing. It could bite a whole apple with a crunching sound, and some juice slowly flowed down the corners of its mouth and dripped onto the ground.
The sour and sweet fruit was a rare delicacy for it. It ate it with great sweetness and satisfaction, and finished the whole apple in no time.
At this moment, Momo kept using his tail to knock the apples off the branches. The big river turtle was so happy that his eyes were shining when he saw the fruits falling from the tree one after another.
It immediately opened its mouth and quickly bit the fruits on the ground, taking one bite at a time, eating them eagerly. While eating, it made a 'purring' sound from time to time, a bit like a cat when it eats its favorite food, a little excited, but also looking honest and cute.
After knocking down more than ten apples, Momo stopped moving, crawled back to the ground, lay down leisurely, and closed his eyes to rest.
It has no interest in this fruit because it is too small and tastes bad. Only big river turtles like to eat it.
A turtle and a snake, one moving and one still, the scene is both harmonious and weird.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Momo immediately opened his eyes alertly, raised his head slightly, and looked in the direction of the sound.
"hiss~"
Mo Mo took a look, then retracted his head and called out twice to the big river turtle beside him.
The river turtle paused while eating and turned to look at it, only to see it bark twice in alarm, "Hiss!"
After it finished barking, it quickly rushed towards the river at an extremely fast speed. In a blink of an eye, it dived into the river and disappeared without a trace.
