Chapter Ninety-Six: The Viper
The pruning of cassava trees is very strict, and Yun Xiaotian does not dare to be in a hurry, for fear of making mistakes.
After a busy afternoon, until dusk came, the orange sunset covered the land and clothed the cassava grove with a golden coat, and they had only finished pruning a total of three cassava trees.
Yun Xiaotian jumped from the cassava tree and tied up the branches with the ugly woman next to him.
There were a total of five bundles of branches, each bundle was neat, and none of the branches stood out, which made Yun Xiaotian wonder if the ugly woman next to her was a perfectionist with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
When I looked up, I looked at her ugly face. Yun Xiaotian felt that he was so ugly, and he was talking about perfectionism, he must have thought too much.
But after thinking about it again, he felt that he shouldn't judge people by their appearance, and it wasn't her fault that she was ugly, not to mention that it had nothing to do with whether she was a perfectionist or not.
Yun Xiaotian, but he never thought that he was always secretly entangled in his heart like this, talking about the strengths and weaknesses of others, obviously his heart was very turbulent, but on the surface he was silent.
At its core, it's sullen.
And Yun Xiaotian is such an extremely sullen, but unaware slut.
Dragging the bundled branches of the cassava tree, he came to the house of the village chief of Tulin Village.
Yun Xiaotian, pile them up in the courtyard of the village chief's house.
"...... Village Chief Huang?"
His cries were not answered.
Yun Xiaotian had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Out of Tulin Village, Yun Xiaotian came to a forest in the upper reaches of the river, hoping to find something to eat from it.
In Tulin Village, the only metal knife he could get his hands on was a firewood knife in the cassava forest, which was pinned to his waist at this time.
In his hand he holds a short wooden spear cut from the branches of a cassava tree, like an arrow and a gun, which is used for throwing.
If you try your luck, you might be able to hunt prey that moves from afar.
This forest is not small, and it stands to reason that it can feed a lot of mountain beasts, but he has not harvested it in the past few days.
It was getting darker and darker, insects and birds were chirping, and he still found nothing.
Yun Xiaotian had no choice but to admit that maybe this place was still too close to the village.
Even if there is any prey, it has already been scavenged by the surrounding villagers.
Yun Xiaotian, preparing to go back, it is a complete waste of time here, there is no gain at all, and it will consume energy out of thin air, which will only make him more hungry.
But just as he turned around and was about to leave, the originally silent forest was startled with a commotion.
Under the starlight, on the silver-gray bark, a poisonous snake that had been lurking all day stretched out its cold fangs, and between the lightning and flint, it pounced on Yun Xiaotian's neck.
At the first time, Yun Xiaotian didn't react, he only knew that danger was approaching, but he didn't know where the danger was.
Holding a hatchwood knife in one hand and a wooden gun in the other, he swung the knife forward and rolled towards the ground, hoping to frighten the potential approaching danger.
Dangerous and dangerous, Yun Xiaotian avoided the surprise attack of the poisonous snake.
Still in a state of panic, Yun Xiaotian looked around the forest vigilantly, only to see that there were tall trees all around, under the gradual dyeing of the starlight, draped in a silver-gray coat, only the flowers of the acacia bellflower grass, exuding a faint blue light.
The grass of the Acacia wind chime, from the roots to its beautiful flowers, is highly poisonous.
Even if you are accidentally cut by the barb on its body, it may be life-threatening.
So it is not stingy towards the world, blooming its own beauty.
Although the acacia bellflower is very dangerous, it will never be the danger that makes Yun Xiaotian feel a premonition.
Continuing to look around, Yun Xiaotian walked and retreated, wanting to get away from this area.
Staying here without being able to identify the source of the danger is definitely the stupidest choice.
Seeing the retreating Yun Xiaotian, the poisonous snake hid in the fallen leaves and grass on the ground, and under the cover of the sound of insects, it followed closely and did not find its prey.
Against stupid bipedal prey like this, it has enough experience to be in no hurry at all.
It knew that it would not be long before they let their guard down and think they were out of danger.
Either they will be unable to stand the boundless darkness and fear in the dark forest, and will rush out after the collapse.
That's the perfect opportunity to hunt.
The poisonous snake, little by little, approached Yun Xiaotian.
Yun Xiaotian, who thought he had gone far, didn't seem to notice the danger coming.
Holding his palpitating chest, he secretly calmed the breathing that had just been panting, looking defenseless.
The poisonous snake, the closer it got to Yun Xiaotian, the more slowly it moved, carefully bypassing the long grass that might reveal its whereabouts, without making a sound.
At a distance of less than two steps from Yun Xiaotian, he suddenly jumped out of the grass, and his cold fangs rushed straight to Yun Xiaotian's bare left hand.
Life and death, in this moment.
Yun Xiaotian's reaction could only be faster and more accurate than that of a poisonous snake, so that he had a chance to dodge this fatal blow.
However, Yun Xiaotian's right hand was too far away, and it was impossible to grab the head of the poisonous snake faster than the poisonous snake that was struggling to eject from the grass.
And his still body, as well as his left arm, no matter which way he dodges, will be entangled by a poisonous snake that is much faster than him, and if it is touched by its fangs, he may be doomed.
Under the dim starlight, Yun Xiaotian couldn't identify the species of the poisonous snake, and no one could guarantee that the venom of this poisonous snake would not take his life in an instant.
The venomous snake's fangs, the closer it was to Yun Xiaotian's arm, the greater it expanded, and the venom on the tips of the teeth could no longer be suppressed, enveloping its entire pair of fangs, ready to erupt at any time, injecting into the blood vessels of the prey and dissolving his body.
"Ding" sound.
The venom of the viper poured out, but the fangs were bitten on the iron piece.
I saw that on the iron sheet, there was a faint blue light, and in the dark forest, a dazzling knife light was drawn.
From head to tail, the viper is divided into two identical halves.
Falling from mid-air, the poisonous snake that still did not give up, with its instinctive ferocity and viciousness, although it knew that it would die, it still tried its best to lean towards the place where Yun Xiaotian was, and at the same time drained the only venom left in the fangs.
Yun Xiaotian, frightened by the recklessness of the poisonous snake, jumped back and was scared half to death.
He had never encountered such a ferocious and cunning viper, as if he were a real experienced hunter, cunning and sophisticated.
At the time of the first attack.
Yun Xiaotian had already found a trace of a poisonous snake, and probably knew where it was.
But with no complete certainty of dealing with it, he chose to leave.
While leaving, Yun Xiaotian's vigilance never decreased, and on the dark ground, as the poisonous snake moved, the forest gradually became silent with the sound of insects, allowing him to vaguely find the figure of the poisonous snake.
Yun Xiaotian didn't want to be exhausted by it.
Yun Xiaotian, who seems to be soft, but is crazy in his bones, decides to take a risk and fight hard to completely solve the poisonous snake that is following him.
While seducing it, the wood knife in his hand was full of original energy, and when the poisonous snake was about to approach him, he turned his wrist, first blocked the poisonous fangs of the poisonous snake with the blade, and then took advantage of the situation, splitting it in half.
It's easy to say, but the details can't be half a point off, a little slower, and the result may be completely different.
Yun Xiaotian raised the firewood knife in his hand, and the venom of the poisonous snake dissolved a small hole from its tooth marks.
Such a domineering snake venom, Yun Xiaotian was amazed in his heart.
But in addition to the poisonous hole bitten by this poisonous snake, the firewood knife is limited by the material, and the iron blade can't withstand the original energy on Yun Xiaotian's body.
Looking at it again, at this time, the miserable firewood knife, Yun Xiaotian was very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it to the village chief tomorrow.
Naturally, it can't be said that it was caused by a big fight between him and the poisonous snake, and he used too much force, the village chief may not believe it, and he is not easy to explain.
Yun Xiaotian cut off the two halves of the snake's head and picked up the rest of its snake body in his hand.
Looking at the severed snake head from a distance, Yun Xiaotian still had a relative, afraid that it would jump up and pounce on him.
The snake's head is brownish gray, the orange and yellow of the vertical pupils are a little blood-red, and the fangs are very long, connected to the venom glands, reaching the jaw, and he still feels chills in his heart.
He went to the creek in the forest and washed the snake's body.
Yun Xiaotian thought that he had no choice but to explain to Village Chief Huang that his firewood knife was lost by the river when he was fetching water.
Yun Xiaotian rarely lies, and he doesn't like to lie, but he doesn't know how to lie and can't lie.
I think it's seamless.
Yun Xiaotian would not know that his every move never left the sight of the village chief of Tulin Village.
Even when he was facing the most dangerous situation, the village chief looked at him coldly from the dark.
His lies will naturally be broken as soon as they are poked.
