【Chapter 139】Finally saw the rattlesnake
"No need!" Alice replied, "As long as he takes his Hundred Beasts Magic Book, he will slowly lose his mana, and finally become a real dried corpse, never to be resurrected!" ”
"What the hell is this Hundred Beasts Grimoi? How powerful is it? Wang Xiaotie couldn't help but look at the big book in his hand with curiosity, what kind of mana was in it, which could keep a corpse fresh for more than 3,000 years, which was not something that those refrigerators on the earth could do.

"Ever heard of the Egyptian Book of the Dead? This Hundred Beasts Magic Book is part of it, there was once a pharaoh, relying on this Hundred Beasts Magic Book, gathered millions of poisonous insects and beasts, and was invincible for a while, becoming a famous god of war in Egyptian history. ”
"I'll go! So powerful? Wang Xiaotie sighed in surprise.
However, the pharaoh sealed most of the power of the Hundred Beasts Tome with his own hands at the last moment, causing the book to lose its original glory. Alright, I'm almost done, go to the left first, and I'll take you to the first one. ”
Alice's petite body finally stopped shaking, and the blood stopped flowing, apparently in the recovery process she had spoken. Under Alice's guidance, Wang Xiaotie turned left and right and came to a separate room, in the center of the room, there was a stone building similar to an ancient altar.
"This is the first mechanism set up by Oraniz using the mana of the Hundred Beast Magic Tome, and the way to activate it is to inlay the Hundred Beast Demon Book in the depression on the altar, as for what will happen, I don't know, you have to be careful."
Wang Xiaotie looked left and right, trying to find potential danger through the clues around him, but he didn't find anything, there was not even a statue here, only the altar was bare.
According to Alice's method, Wang Xiaotie put the big black book into the depression, and then immediately held the mountain knife tightly, and his body tensed, waiting for the unknown danger to come.
The altar began to glow, and then the light became bigger and bigger, until Wang Xiaotie couldn't open his eyes.
When he recovered, he was surprised to find that he was not next to the altar, but in a strange place.
The foot is all desert, but it is surrounded by high stands.
"The Colosseum?"
Before he could be surprised, Wang Xiaotie found that an iron door in front of him suddenly opened, and then a dense animal crawled out of it.
It was an animal that Wang Xiaotie was very familiar with, and it was also one of the targets that Wang Xiaotie had always wanted to find.
Rattlesnake. The earthy yellow body, pointed head, and flat tail make a "bang-la-la" sound as it crawls.
This was the first time Wang Xiaotie had heard the rattle of a rattlesnake's tail. It feels like the sound of water flowing, and it's more like the movement of everyone shuffling cards together when playing mahjong.
All the rattlesnakes were crawling in the direction where Wang Xiaotie was, and the sound they made as they marched was quite huge.
Wang Xiaotie glanced around, there was no way to escape at all, the entire Colosseum was surrounded by death, and the surrounding stands were at least three or four meters high from the ground, which was not the height that Wang Xiaotie could climb up.
Wang Xiaotie had nothing else in his hand except the mountain opening knife. The strangest thing is that Alice on his shoulder also doesn't know where to go. Now he is truly isolated and desperate.
"I'm rubbing! When Lao Tzu wanted to look for you, he couldn't see any of them. Now it's okay, it's a big piece of it, play with yarn! ”
Wang Xiaotie began to run backwards, and he had to pull away and figure out a way.
At the same time as Wang Xiaotie was running, several rattlesnakes crawling in front of him suddenly increased their speed and chased after them in the direction of Wang Xiaotie's running, while the rattlesnakes behind were still crawling slowly and did not join them.
Of course, Wang Xiaotie saw this change, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.
Such a change occurs because the snake's eyesight is not good, or even very poor. The structure of their eyes allows them to see objects at close range, and when they look at distant objects, they are like flowers in a fog, blurry.
Another point is that the snake eye does not have a macula in the center of the retina, and its vision is very insensitive, and it is extremely insensitive to stationary objects, almost blind, and the only thing that can be seen is only moving and shaking objects.
Wang Xiaotie immediately stopped, waiting for the arrival of the rattlesnakes behind him.
The rattlesnakes also suddenly slowed down, and some of them actually lingered in place, hesitating. Just when Wang Xiaotie was overjoyed, one of the rattlesnakes opened its mouth and spit out its letter.
Wang Xiaotie secretly screamed badly! Although snakes have extremely poor eyesight, that is not the means they rely on to forage and hunt, and their real weapon is actually the letter.
We often see snakes in the wild always sticking their tongues out and shaking constantly. It's not hot weather, sticking out your tongue like a puppy to cool off, and it's not for fun, it's exploring the prey around you.
The snake's tongue has two forks that absorb tiny odor particles in the air and distinguish different scents. There is a cheek socket between their eyes and nostrils, which acts like an infrared receiver for snakes, and can know the location of their prey based on the temperature received.
According to the function of the snake's cheek socket, scientists have invented an infrared automatic tracking device, which can automatically track the target and destroy the shell after the shell is fired. This is the legendary and famous homing missile.
Sure enough, the rattlesnake spitting out the letter immediately turned around and crawled towards the place where Wang Xiaotie was.
Fortunately, there was only one rattlesnake doing this, Wang Xiaotie did not take a step, he waited intently for the rattlesnake to approach.
If he runs now, he will face four snakes attacking at the same time, and even if he reacts sensitively, there is a great chance that he will be bitten by a rattlesnake, which is unimaginably fast when it attacks.
Seeing that the rattlesnake was getting closer and closer, Wang Xiaotie also raised the mountain knife in his hand high, he was waiting for a suitable distance, not too far, so that the mountain knife could not reach. It can't be too close, if it's too close, before his knife falls, it is estimated that he has been bitten by this rattlesnake.
"It's now!" Wang Xiaotie roared angrily, and the mountain knife in his hand fell quickly, and the rattlesnake was a meter and a half away from him.
"Poof!" The mountain knife was really sharp, and the bright blade easily split the rattlesnake in two, and also cut into the sand for a long distance. The bright red snake blood immediately flowed out, and before Wang Xiaotie could be happy, he found that several other rattlesnakes had turned their triangular heads in his direction at the same time.
