Chapter 260: Encounter with a rattan snake
In the towering woods of ancient trees, a figure came out from behind a big tree with many vines entangled, it was Tang Ru, with a surprised look, hurried steps, holding a thing in his hand, a little far away, he couldn't see clearly, Qin Tian turned his head in disbelief, and immediately looked at Luo Rui, and finally his eyes fell on Feng Ru, and he said with some displeasure: "Why don't you leave the team without saying a word, what if something happens?" β
Originally, everyone was resting in place, but Tang Ru didn't know when he left, in case of danger, he would definitely not be able to rescue, so unorganized and undisciplined, Qin Tian had to worry, Feng Ru's eyes were slightly condensed, and he didn't say anything, but Luo Rui next to him said indifferently: "It's okay, how can you do scientific research if you are afraid of anything?" β
"It's hard for me to do this." Qin Tian reminded dissatisfiedly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Luo Rui said indifferently and greeted Tang Ru.
Qin Tian looked at Feng Ru, Feng Ru didn't say anything, and also went up, Qin Tian had to follow up, only to find that Tang Ru was holding an object like an arrow in his hand, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, and found that this thing was actually not rusty, cyan, and looked like it was all made of metal.
"Bronze arrows? Legendary bronze arrows. Luo Rui took the thing in surprise and looked at it, and said excitedly, his eyes were full of light, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
"I'll see." Feng Ru stepped forward curiously and said.
Luo Rui handed the thing to Feng Ru, and said with excitement on his face: "Legend has it that a batch of bronze arrows were created in the pre-Qin period, this kind of arrow is different from ordinary arrows, I don't know what material is used to make it, it has not rotted for thousands of years, you see, cyan metal, like copper not copper, it should be an alloy, because it was produced in the era when bronze was prevalent, so it was named bronze arrow by the academic community, but it was not made of bronze in kind." β
"It's true that it doesn't act bronze, but it should be doped with bronze, and there are other metals, it has not rotted for so many years, it is worth taking back and studying, this alloy formula is enough to shock the world, the hardness looks very strong, and it is quite heavy, which is also a major discovery." Feng Ru said with a smile.
"By the way, where did you find that?" Luo Rui thought of something, looked at Tang Ru and asked.
"Just behind, I went to Xiaojie, and saw this arrow nailed to the tree, and it took a lot of effort to take it out." Tang Ru hurriedly explained.
Qin Tian heard that he was going to Xiaojie and accidentally found that he didn't deliberately run away, and breathed a sigh of relief, if he really ran undisciplinedly, it would be troublesome, looking at the arrow, the arrow shaft was full of dust, it did look like it was a joke, it didn't look like someone was newly left, not to mention the corrosion of cyan metal, not even a little oxidation, especially the arrow, giving people a death-like coldness, I couldn't help but wonder, the smelting technology of the pre-Qin era was so high?
"Strange, why do you keep it in the tree, go, look at it, maybe there will be more." Luo Rui said, without waiting for the others to agree, motioned for Tang Ru to lead the way, and hurriedly walked towards the woods.
Qin Tian saw that everyone was curious to follow, and he didn't have to stop it, so he had to follow, while giving the team members a careful and vigilant gesture, not many levels, everyone came to the big tree full of vines, Tang Ru pointed to a location, and there was indeed a small hole in it, the size of an arrow.
"Everyone scattered to look for it." Rory said excitedly, and stepped forward to take a closer look.
"Be carefulβ" Qin Tian suddenly shouted, and threw a military dagger like lightning.
The military dagger drew a black light in the void, and sank into an arm-thick vine on the top of the ancient tree with a thud, and everyone found that this tree vine actually twisted strangely and curled up into a ball, but it was nailed to the big tree and did not fall.
"It's a rattan snake, it's poisonous." Li Feng, an expert in animals and plants, saw what it was at a glance and hurriedly shouted.
Everyone was taken aback, and they all retreated, looking at the arm-thick rattan snake in front of them with shocked eyes, if it hadn't been nailed to the tree by the military dagger, it would definitely fall down and attack at this time, Luo Rui's face was a little unnatural and he hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at the rattan snake in front of him that was almost exactly the same as the surrounding tree vines and was silent.
"Such a big one, the rattan snakes are all slender and elongated, and such a big one is unheard of." Li Feng said in a deep voice.
"Do you want to collect the coordinate book?" Li Feng's assistant Sun Mei asked, maybe she has been dealing with animals and plants for a long time, Sun Mei is not naturally afraid of snakes like other women, but there is a little more excitement in her eyes.
Qin Tian looked at these people a little speechlessly, sure enough, they were a group of pure scientists, madmen, shouldn't they think about danger at this time? But he didn't say anything, he was secretly vigilant, and pulled out his pistol to search the surroundings in case of accidents, this forest was obviously weird, and he couldn't be unguarded.
"Brother Tian, this is still this strange vine snake encountered on the periphery of the Cloud Canyon, there may be something in the canyon, this trip is more dangerous than imagined." Suddenly, there was a sound of death in the headphones.
Qin Tian didn't answer, his eyes glanced in the direction of the mysterious canyon, his brows were slightly locked, and his heart was worried, even Li Feng, an animal and plant expert, felt that this rattan snake was too big and weird, that meant that it was mysterious, could it be that the animals here had mutated? If this is the case, then the danger ahead is indeed unimaginable.
At this time, Feng Ru came to Qin Tian and said gratefully: "Xiao Qin, thank you just now, otherwise it will be troublesome, this hand flying knife technique is good, have you practiced it before?" β
"The army taught, see and laugh, this snake is very venomous." Qin Tian politely changed the subject.
Feng Ru looked at Li Feng, and Li Feng said knowingly: "The rattan snake is a little less poisonous than the cobra, but this rattan snake is weird, and the world has never found such a big one, so the toxicity is hard to say, thank you for your help just now, I was unjustly killed by a poisonous snake." β
"You've all been injected with anti-snake bite serum, right?" Qin Tian asked.
"There is an injection, but if this rattan snake mutates, the injected serum may not work, you see its body texture, it is almost exactly the same as the tree vine here, and the rattan snake in other places is at most the body color like ash, like a tree vine, but there is no such pattern, I'm afraid it is mutated." Li Feng explained.
"Can't it be some other unknown snake?" Qin Tian asked curiously.
"It's not impossible, but in addition to being much larger and having lines, the other characteristics are no different from the rattan snake, the rattan snake's toxin is mainly secreted in the back row of teeth that bend towards the mouth, open the mouth, take out the fangs to see how you can determine the identity." Li Feng said with a serious face.
is worthy of being an expert in animals and plants, things are very clear in the profession, Qin Tian doesn't know that there are these differences, in the past, when he encountered a poisonous snake, he directly killed and skinned and eaten, where would he care about these details, he immediately became interested and said: "Wait a minute, the rattan snake is not dead yet, I'll come." β
