Chapter 499: Snake Venom
Only by igniting the fire with strong liquor can the serpent be driven away. Hua Bushi thought of this method, in fact, this may be the only feasible way to save Sima Rulan and Xiong Bailing at the moment.
The large wooden barrel was half a man's height, and the wine contained in it weighed at least one or two hundred pounds. Xiong Bailing's strength is extraordinary, and it is easy to move, but for the weak Hua Bushi, it is by no means so easy.
He pushed the barrel with both hands, leaning on it with all his body, but with great effort, it only moved the barrel a few inches, and it was still far from the mouth of the cave. At this rate, even if he used all his strength to move the barrel into the cave, I am afraid that the two people in the cave would have been eaten by the giant snake.
Hua Bushi was almost a little discouraged.
Because of the relationship between the "Qianyuan and the Absolute Pulse", Hua Bushi has been insulated from martial arts training since he was a child, and no matter how much kung fu he practiced, it was in vain and in vain. However, since he was sensible, even if he was envious of others practicing martial arts, he had never been jealous and inferior because of this.
It's just because this eldest young master is convinced that martial arts can't decide everything, and his wisdom is enough to make up for the lack of martial arts, and even be able to play a greater role than martial arts.
However, in the current situation, he really realized the defect of his weak physique. If he had a little more strength, he would have been able to move the wine barrel into the cave, and he would have been able to save the lives of Sima Rulan and Xiong Bailing, but now he couldn't do it.
He had to stop and look around, only to see a dagger falling from the ground.
This short dagger is the weapon used by Liang Wude, after Xiong Bailing killed Liang Wude, he also took this dagger, and used it to cut ropes when making torches, and then threw it aside.
Hua Bushi immediately stepped forward to pick up the dagger, returned to the barrel and stabbed seven or eight times in a row. The dagger was so sharp that it could easily pierce through the barrel even if Hua Bushi's wrist strength was not strong, and the wine in the barrel immediately gushed out from seven or eight holes.
Even if the whole barrel of wine can't be moved, let the wine flow out a little bit and make it lighter.
Hua Bushi threw away the dagger, took seven or eight steps back one after another, set up the jiashi, and rushed straight towards the wine barrel!
With a muffled thud, his shoulder slammed into the barrel. The barrel, which had already been let go of some wine and had become much lighter, was hit by the momentum of his body, and finally shook and poured down, making a "bang" sound.
Hua Bushi didn't care about the pain in his shoulder, so he hurriedly reached out to hold the overturned wine barrel, took the torch from the side and put it in his mouth, and pushed the wooden barrel towards the mouth of the cave.
Rolling round barrels is much easier than moving, and Liliang can do it with Hua Bushi. And the wine in the barrel was pouring out of the hole and dripping to the ground.
Hua Bushi pushed the wine barrel into the cave and went down to the stone steps, Xiong Bailing was bitten by the giant snake on his right arm, and Sima Rulan was almost suffocated by the snake's body. The eldest young master shouted loudly in his mouth, and pushed forward with all his might, and the barrel suddenly rolled down the stone steps.
The stone steps in the cave were straight Xiangxia, and the giant snake was coiled in a ball, located in the center of the stone steps. The barrel rolled down dozens of steps, crashed into the snake and shattered, and the wine in the barrel was scattered in all directions. And Hua Bushi took the torch, waved his arm and threw it, and immediately lit the liquor on the stone steps!
Because the barrel was leaking and rolling, there was a lot of liquor from top to bottom of the stone steps, and once it was ignited at this moment, almost the entire stone steps were burned, and instantly turned into a sea of fire. The body of the giant snake was also poured with a lot of spirits, and the flames spread upward, burning its body!
I don't know where this sea snake was found from Tuoba Qingtian back then, not only is the size extremely huge, but also the strength is infinite, the scales covered on the whole body are even more injurible, I am afraid that no one in the world can fight against it, but they are still mortal snakes, not real divine beasts, and still have the nature of ordinary snakes to be afraid of fire.
When the flames scorched, the giant snake panicked, and finally let go of Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan, and fled to the bottom of the steps. And the other giant snake, which had almost come to the front, suddenly stopped in front of the fire and slowly retreated.
The steps were already full of flames, especially where the barrels were broken, and the crimson flames rose even higher. Xiong Bailing landed on both feet, and the giant snake could still stand firm after escaping, but Sima Rulan was swept into the air, and as soon as the snake body was loosened, she fell straight down, almost falling into the flames, fortunately, Xiong Bailing grabbed a step and reached out to help her, so she could barely zhanzhu.
Hua Bushi, who was at the top of the steps, shouted: "Hurry up! This fire won't burn long!"
Of course, it is impossible for a barrel of liquor to burn for too long, as long as the flame is extinguished, the two-headed giant snake will definitely jump up again, so although there are flames everywhere on the stone steps, Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan have no other way out at this time, and they must rush out immediately!
Xiong Bailing said: "Lan'er niece, can you go up, but do you need the old man to help you?"
Sima Rulan was almost suffocated by the giant snake before, and at this moment she was still weak in the face of the sea of fire, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Xiong, don't worry, Lan'er can go up by herself!"
Xiong Bailing said: "Okay, then I'll go and save Nan'er out!"
He jumped to Xiong Tiannan's side and picked up his son, while Sima Rulan took a deep breath, barely lifted his true qi, and flew up the steps with light skills.
After a few breaths, they finally rushed through the sea of fire on the stone steps and escaped from the cave, and Hua Bushi immediately pressed the mechanism on the statue of the snake god on the altar. Only the sound of "rolling" was heard, and the stone slab at the entrance of the cave slowly closed, and the situation was finally safe.
This time breaking into the snake den to save people can be described as an escape from death, and now several people are all embarrassed one by one, Xiong Bailing's beard is scorched black, most of his beard has been burned off, and the corners of Sima Rulan's skirt are also on fire, and they are busy extinguishing it when they get out of the cave. Hua Bushi had a lot of spirits on his body when he was pushing the wine barrel before, and after entering the cave, he was busy setting fire to save people, and his clothes were also set on fire, although he was extinguished in time, he was also burned out of several large holes.
However, Xiong Tiannan has always been held in Xiong Bailing's arms, and he has not been burned by the flames, but he is still unconscious with his eyes closed, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
The one who is most concerned about Xiong Tiannan's life and death is, of course, Xiong Bailing. Although he poked out that his son still had a faint breath, when he inspected his body, he couldn't find any wounds, and he didn't know why Xiong Tiannan was unconscious.
Seeing this, Hua Bushi stepped forward and said, "If Mr. Xiong doesn't mind, how about letting me probe the pulse of Master Xiong?"
Xiong Bailing had long heard of this "evil dog boy" with excellent medical skills, and hurriedly said: "This is Young Master Lao Hua!"
Hua Bushi stretched out three fingers, caught the pulse of Xiong Tiannan's left wrist, probed for a while, and said: "Mr. Xiong, don't worry, the eldest prince Xiong is just too frightened, and he fainted for a while, and there is no big problem. It's just that it is not appropriate to wake him up for the time being, so as not to leave palpitations in the future, and it is better to let him wake up naturally after a while. ”
Hearing this, Xiong Bailing was relieved, and the expression on his face was also relaxed, but suddenly his feet became weak, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan were both shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the front to check. Hua Bushi pulled Xiong Bailing's right arm, but his expression changed, and said, "It's not good, Mr. Xiong has been poisoned by snakes!"
I saw that on Xiong Bailing's right forearm, there were two holes about the size of an inch, which were exactly where the giant snake had bitten before. The flesh around the perforations turned upside down, and a large area of skin had turned black, and the blood oozing from the wound was purple and black.
Not all snakes are venomous, generally speaking, the larger the snake, the more non-venomous, such as the common python is not venomous. However, the giant snake in the cave was so large that it was actually poisonous, and Hua Bushi could see at a glance that this poison was the most powerful of snake venom.
Sima Rulan hurriedly said: "What can I do about this?" Mr. Hua, you must save him, Uncle Xiong was bitten by that snake in order to save Lan'er!"
Hua Bushi's expression was solemn, and he said, "Miss Lan'er, help me lift his body!"
He found a rope from the side, wrapped it around Xiong Bailing's upper arm and tied it tightly, took the jet-black dagger, burned it on the torch slightly, and then cut four horizontal and vertical lines on the place where Xiong Bailing's forearm was bitten.
The flesh and skin cracked, and black poisonous blood suddenly gushed out. Hua Bushi pressed the blood veins on Xiong Bailing's arm with his fingers, and then leaned down and sucked the wound with his mouth, sucked out the black blood, and then spit it on the ground. After sucking more than a dozen mouthfuls of poisonous blood in succession, it was difficult to suck blood from the wound, and Hua Bushi had to stop, but the dark blue color on Xiong Bailing's arm did not decrease slightly, but there was a tendency to have a crickly arm.
Sima Rulan said: "How is it, can you solve the snake venom?"
Hua Bushi said: "The poison of this giant snake is so strong, it is rare in Hua Bushi's life, and now there is no medicine, and it can only be used for emergency treatment, although it can temporarily delay the snake venom upward, but it is not the solution." ”
Sima Rulan said: "Then how can we detoxify?"
Hua Bushi said: "There is no better way now, if you wait for the snake venom to spread, I'm afraid it will be even worse, so ...... So ......"
Hua Bushi was originally surrounded by drugs that could detoxify snake venom, but he was searched by Xiong Tiannan at the trench before, and the things he was carrying were thrown into the sea. Now there is no snake medicine, no matter how high the medical skills of this eldest young master are, there is nothing he can do to cure this poison.
Sima Rulan said: "So what?"
Hua Bushi said: "So the only way now is to ......"
He didn't finish speaking, but he said in a ** voice: "It's just an arm, why should Young Master Hua be embarrassed!"
The person who spoke was Xiong Bailing, he had woken up at some point, and his face was full of arrogance at this time, and he had no fear.
