825. Digging into the Snake's Den (4/5)
In the past, mining shafts were really 'digging', and it was necessary to use stone crushers, rotary knife machines, excavators, etc., and it was necessary to dig holes in the rock formations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time it's simpler, they don't have to work so hard, first use an excavator to dig out the backfilled gravel like digging soil, wait until the length of the machine's digging arm is not enough, and then replace it with a shovel.
Excavating rubble is still tiring, but it's much easier and safer than digging a hole in the rock, as long as you look at the terrain and dig out all the rubble and be careful not to bury it with rubble.
In just half a day, the mine was almost cleared, and a wide mine with a diameter of about two meters appeared in front of them.
After lunch, Li Du returned to the mine to prepare to work, and after entering, he was just about to start, when suddenly, the wolf brother next to him grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
Brother Wolf stared at the front and said, "Snake." ”
Li Du carefully shone it with his headlamp, and indeed, a snake was emerging from the gravel gap.
Brother Wolf's eyes were sharper than his, and he didn't notice the snake at all, and almost won the bid.
There are too many reptiles in Australia, there are a total of 140 species of land snakes, 32 species of water snakes, of which 100 species are venomous, and more than 10 species are very venomous, and the bite is almost fatal.
And there are not only many types of snakes here, but also a large number of them.
Recently, Li Du also saw a news, saying that a girl in Canberra felt that the front of her shoes was soft when she was running, and when she took off her shoes after running, she saw that there was a small snake inside, but she was crushed to death by her toes......
He used to be afraid of snakes, and this floppy reptile always triggered deep fear in his heart.
But after spending some time in Australia, he became immune to the thing, snakes are not that scary, as long as you don't provoke them, they are much gentler than mosquitoes.
The snake had a grayish-brown back with black stripes and an orange-red belly, and it swam lightly and silently, which was the same red-bellied black snake that Brother Wolf used to clean up Blatche.
"How to deal with it?" Li Du asked cautiously.
Although the red-bellied black snake did not bite anyone, it is a well-known venomous snake, and if it is bitten, it is also very troublesome to not be able to get timely rescue in an environment like a mine.
Brother Wolf said: "Forget it." ”
There are too many venomous snakes in Australia, and the government's countermeasure is to leave the snake alone as long as it doesn't get in the way.
But if poisonous snakes get in the way of people's lives or even lives, then it is better to find a way to kill them.
Li Du picked up a stone and was about to throw it out, but Brother Wolf shook his head to stop him, and then squatted down very carefully and slowly, and continued to stretch out his hand very carefully and slowly.
When approaching the red-bellied black snake, Brother Wolf suddenly sped up his movements and pinched the neck behind the snake's head.
The red-bellied black snake reacted quickly, and after being caught, it contracted its body and wrapped itself around his arm.
Brother Wolf shook his arm vigorously to shake it off, and after a few blows the snake was stunned, and then Brother Wolf threw it to the ground, smashed its head with his tongue, and carried it to the ground with the crushed ore.
It was just a small episode in the excavation of the mine, and the two of them didn't care and continued to work.
However, the appearance of the red-bellied black snake reminded Li Du that they were digging a hole in the dangerous Australian underground, and there was no telling when a venomous snake would appear.
So he called Meow down and asked Meow to follow him to escort her.
His caution proved to be necessary, and just as they pushed forward half a meter deeper, Meow, who was lazily lying on the ore, slammed forward.
It struck quickly, and a trail flashed, dragging a snake from one side of the mine to the other.
This snake is about a meter long, and its appearance is slightly similar to the red-bellied black snake that appeared earlier, it is also gray-black with a red back and a red belly, but the color of this snake's abdomen is reddish and yellow.
"Red-bellied Ioser. Brother Wolf frowned.
Compared with the red-bellied black snake, the red-bellied Yiao snake is much more ferocious.
Encountering two poisonous snakes in a row, Li Du hesitated a little and said, "How can there be so many snakes in this mine?"
Sophie, who was helping above, saw another snake coming up from the conveyor, so she became worried, and said through the intercom, "Do you want me to go down and help?" ”
Li Du said: "No problem, you don't have to come down, it may just be a coincidence." ”
To be on the safe side, he released the little flying insects and went into the rubble pile to check on the situation.
The little flying insect flew in, and the scene he saw suddenly made his scalp tingle.
There were several snakes in the rubble, and the closer you got to the end of the mine, the more snakes appeared.
Meow jumped back from his side and pulled a snake off the top of the mine with a slash of her paws.
It's another red-bellied Eao snake......
Li Du controlled the small flying insects to fly into the rock layer above his head to see, there were holes and gaps between these rock layers, and many snakes were now appearing in it.
Immediately decided, he beckoned: "Brother Wolf, let's go, there are too many poisonous snakes here." ”
Just as he was saying this, another snake came out of the crack.
Brother Wolf pulled a dagger from his waist, threw it out, and the tip of the knife was inserted into the snake's head, nailing it into the gap, blocking the gap.
The two of them return to the surface with Meow, and Godzilla thinks it's his turn to go down, so he takes off his shirt and prepares to go down the well.
Li Du stopped him and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
Godzilla said as a matter of course, "Work." ”
Li Du said: "There are all snakes below, I don't know what's going on, there are a lot of snakes coming out, how do you go to work?
Godzilla thought for a moment and asked, "Can they eat it?"
This question made Li Du not know whether to cry or laugh, when was it, and he still wanted to eat?!
Listening to their words, the masturbation officer interjected: "Boss, you killed two snakes just now, could this be the group of snakes coming back for revenge?"
Li Du said angrily: "It's a good point, hurry up and get some snake repellent powder to drive these snakes away." ”
Sophie, who was next to her, suddenly asked, "We noticed that this mine is shorter than the others, why is this happening?
Li Du had the phone number of the former mine owner, Mime, and then he called, and after connecting, he introduced the situation of the mine and asked, "A lot of snakes have appeared, what is going on?"
From the moment he mentioned the mine, Mime's reaction was a little awkward.
Listening to his question, Mim muttered, "How did you dig the backfilled mine?"
Li Du said vaguely: "I want to continue digging along your mine to see if I can find gems, what is going on in this mine? Is there a snake nest in it?"
