“**~~! These lowly Japanese chop pieces~! Could it be that these dirty, ugly, disgusting reptiles were raised by them in captivity? Richardson couldn't help but take a hard sip.

When Zhou Quanbei heard this, his heart moved.

It's not good, this thing, I'm afraid it's really accurate for Richardson.

Eight-step snakes, although highly poisonous, but in fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, they are an excellent medicine, in later generations, an adult eight-step snake, the price is at least tens of thousands of yuan, and there is no market.

But at this time, this eight-step snake with red body, four legs, and abscesses on its head looks like an abscess.

Who the would dare to eat this thing, I'm afraid I'm going to have to grow four more legs.

"Don't move, don't provoke it, be careful." Zhou Quanbei waved his hand and motioned for everyone to step back.

Zhou Quanbei, who was born and raised in this land since he was a child, heard many old people say that although the eight-step snake is highly venomous, in fact, they are not very aggressive.

Liu Zongyuan, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote an article called "The Snake Catcher Says".

In Niutou Town, snake hunting is a tradition and a livelihood, especially during the Republic of China, when it flourished.

However, in modern times, on the one hand, the number of snakes has decreased dramatically, and on the other hand, many people are not willing to do this kind of extremely risky business anymore, because this thing, if you are not careful, your life will be lost.

So much so that by now, many of the crafts passed down by our ancestors have been lost.

Zhou Quanbei's grandfather, in his early years, was a member of this snake catching army, and he relied on this craft to make the Zhou family from the war to the present.

It's just that Zhou Quanbei's grandfather has been weak since he was a child, and he has not inherited the craftsmanship of his ancestors, but the older generation is like this, what kind of craftsmanship is in the business, and the emphasis is on 'passing on men but not women', 'passing on sons but not grandchildren'.

Zhou Quanbei's grandfather, although he did not inherit this craft, but inherited a lot of 'theoretical knowledge' from his ancestors, when he was a child, when his grandfather was still alive, whenever he drank and was happy, he would talk to Zhou Quanbei about it.

Among them, what makes Zhou Quanbei remember the most is 'snake fishing!' ’

In fact, the so-called snake hunting is actually a very technical work, and non-insiders are not allowed to do it, otherwise, if ordinary people want to make this fortune, it is likely that the snake is not caught, but the small life is lost first.

The so-called snake fishing is actually a very high-end technique.

Experienced hunters can tell if there are any snakes in the area by looking at the environment, and if this is a place where snakes are infested, they will first get some bait, such as snakes' favorite frogs, mice, etc., and then set up a delicate mechanism on the bait with silver wire or steel wire.

When the snake swallows, the load force is extremely large, the effect of this mechanism, that is, once the snake bites, there is no way to open the mouth again, and the hunter can take advantage of this time, calmly catch the whole snake alive, return home to feed the wine, and safely take out the snake venom.

At this time, Zhou Quanbei also wanted to find out what kind of mutation had happened to these snakes, so he remembered this ancestral method.

At this time, although there is no mechanism that the ancestor is most comfortable with, as long as Zhou Quanbei catches a snake and looks carefully, whether he lives or dies, he naturally won't pay so much attention.

Zhou Quanbei waved his hand and whispered a few words to Liu Di, Liu Ju quickly understood Zhou Quanbei's intentions, and carefully took out a piece of rabbit jerky from his backpack, which was the dry game food they had brought by the way when they went out to investigate a few days ago.

Although Liu Ju was strong, his skills were extremely flexible, he carefully threw the jerky on the ground aside, signaled to the snake, and quickly retreated.

What is staggering is that the snake seemed to understand Liu Di's meaning, swaggered its tail a few times, and came down from the wall, swallowing the jerky bigger than an adult's fist into its mouth.

And at this moment, Liu Juda strode forward, his big foot suddenly exerted force, and all of a sudden, he stepped on the seven inches of this strange snake, and with his other hand, he took out a dagger like lightning, and slammed the snake's tail into the gap in the wall on the side.

In this way, the contents of the snake's mouth cannot be swallowed or spit out, so it cannot use its snake venom, and both ends of the body are restrained, and it cannot break free even if it wants to.

"Don't kill him!" Zhou Quanbei waved his hand at Liu Di, strode forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the snake.

Before, it was all from a distance, and although you could see the appearance of this snake in general, you could not see the details.

At this time, with such a close observation, Zhou Quanbei also found a trace of abnormality.

Although it has four legs, this foot is not very strong, because the legs are very thin.

This snake is more than two meters long, but its legs are not as thick as an ordinary small gecko, and the feet are not like the claws of a dragon in myths and legends, but a kind of sucker like a duck's web.

This snake is actually like a combination of a snake and a gecko, but when it mutates, it doesn't seem to have completely mutated, but only roughly inherits the gecko's fur.

In other words, although it can attach to the wall, it has no way to attack directly from the wall.

The poor white ghost guy lying on the ground was obviously used as a 'medicine guide' by the army.

"Xiaobei, be careful! This thing is disgusting! Cui Yun saw that Zhou Quanbei was still squatting there, and hurriedly reminded.

Zhou Quanbei stood up, but smiled, "It's okay." Brother Liu, don't hurt it, throw it into this dormitory. ”

Liu Ju was stunned for a moment, and also understood Zhou Quanbei's intentions, he was really a master of art and bold, his big hands were like iron tongs, and while he let go of his feet, he suddenly firmly stuck the seven inches of the snake, and kicked open the door of the dormitory next to him, threw it in, and closed the door. Only then did he nod to Zhou Quanbei.

Richardson was simply stunned by Liu Xi's method, and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhou Quanbei smiled at this time, "Let's go!" With the help of these 'partners', their speed is estimated to be not fast. ”

Only then did everyone react, and soon, the group packed up and continued to march forward.

~~~~~~

Soon, everyone walked forward for about two or three miles, and encountered more than a dozen such strange snakes on the way, but they were all 'captured alive' by Liu Ju in the same way, but Zhou Quanbei did not harm them and took their lives.

After walking more than 100 meters, there was a bright light in front of me, and the whole terrain suddenly opened up, and an open space the size of three football fields appeared in front of me.

It seems that this should be a natural karst cave reconstructed.

On several sides of the site, there were military trucks, armored vehicles, and even, a dozen or two old-fashioned tanks.

At the back of the field, there was a row of large black iron gates with white skull prohibition signs painted on them, and it was obvious that they were filled with real people.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"I'm rubbing! Could this be the arsenal of the little devils! The wildcat spat and was shaken.

Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Eight ~ nine is not far from ten!" It's a pity that these things are no longer of much use. ”

Gong Xue also praised in amazement: "The Japanese are really powerful. Such a fortification is breathtaking. ”

Cui Yun didn't have the slightest affection for the Japanese, "What's this?" It's like a mouse, doesn't it just make holes? ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help laughing, "Sister Yun, you're on the point." The Japanese are rats, but they are moles, and they are born with burrowing. ”

However, saying this, Zhou Quanbei also had some admiration in his heart.

Although the little devil is not good in many aspects, there are some things that are really enough to lead the world.

In those years, the naval battles of Midway and Iwo Jima, the underground fortifications of the Japanese, but the American GIs suffered a lot of casualties.

There is no way, these Japanese are rats, and there are tens of thousands of people hiding under such a small island of less than a few kilometers.

Just imagine, what kind of concept this is, ants are afraid that they can't compare to them.

Later, the American GIs also learned to be obedient, and they no longer fought with them head-on, as long as they saw a hole in the ground, first throw a few hundred or thousands of pounds of high-intensity explosives~ into it, first listen to the sound, let them sit on a 'dirt plane'.

Later, although the Americans won the war in the end, in fact, almost no Japanese surrendered, and the Americans paid a price for casualties that simply exceeded Pearl Harbor.

Looking at the appearance of this place, such a scale, it is likely that this is the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese began to build this underground fortification, and even, the arrogant Japanese may have built this place as a local area, which will create such a scale and intensity.

Historically, in the territory of China, a lot of huge underground fortifications of the Japanese army have also been discovered, but they are mostly in the northeast, the notorious Guan~Dong~ military garrisons, and later the Battle of Tengchong and the Battle of Songshan, which were also carried out against the underground fortifications of the Japanese.

Although Pingzhou is not as strategic as the first two, it is not surprising that the Japanese are willing to spend a lot of effort to build fortifications here.

The group rested here for a while, and Richardson took out a simple map and looked at it carefully.

But at this time, Zhou Quanbei suddenly discovered a very critical problem, it seems that from the moment he entered this open field, there was basically no trace of the activities of the last two teams.

It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Richardson also reacted at this time, "Hell~~~!" Zhou~, there is no mark on the map! We seem to be lost! ”

Everyone's nerves were lifted at once, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Zhou Quanbei took Richardson's map and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed tightly.
