At the mention of snakes, people can't help but feel a chill in their backs, and a series of terrifying, cold and poisonous snakes come to mind.

Because of its cold-bloodedness and ferocity, it always gives the world a kind of evil. It has always been the object of hunting.

Especially in the West, the snake is a symbol of evil, which has long caused them to be controversial. For example, in the Garden of Eden, Satan the Devil incarnated as a serpent and tempted Adam and Eve to steal the forbidden fruit, bringing punishment and suffering, human evil, greed, and even destruction.

But in Chinese legend, the snake is infused with magical, spiritual features.

The mother of the earth, the female snail, the ancestor of China and one of the three emperors, Fuxi, is the head of the snake god. It can be seen that people are not averse to snakes.

The dragon is the totem of China, the dragon, the long scale insect, can be dark and bright, can be small and huge, can be short and long, ascend to the sky at the spring equinox, and dive into the abyss at the autumn equinox.

The image of the dragon is characterized by nine resemblances: horns like a deer, a head like a cow, eyes like a shrimp, a mouth like a donkey, a belly like a snake, scales like a fish, feet like a phoenix, whiskers like a human, and ears like an elephant.

The snake is known as the little dragon among the people, and it is the embodiment of the spirit of the dragon, and it carries many things that are dexterous and energetic in the world.

The northern Xuanwu is in the form of turtles and snakes, one is dignified and quiet, and the other is light and weird.

The snake of this snake island is worshiped as a white dragon by the locals, and it is like a god, and it does not make a living by catching snakes.

This reminds Zhao Yuankang of the record of Shenlong Island in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", according to Master Jin Yong's own admission, the idea of Shenlong Island originated from Lushun's Snake Island.

When I heard the name of Snake Island before, I couldn't help but have a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere, but when I really walked into Snake Island, there was a natural harmony.

This is a natural ecological reserve and a paradise for snakes to live freely. With snakes as the mainstay, there are many enclosure areas, which can not only allow snakes to roam freely among them, but also meet the needs of tourists.

After all, these snakes are dangerous elements that are difficult to control, and they don't know when they will be ferocious, and if they hurt the lives of tourists, it will be a major event that will cause people to panic.

It may also be because of a wounding incident, which will bring about a huge snake hunting and snake killing campaign, and the harm will be incalculable at that time.

Zhao Yuankang, under the guidance of the staff of the reserve, entered the sightseeing area with seven or eight individual visitors.

At this time, it is the deep winter season, everything is withering, the cold wind is raging, in the northeast, the cat winter is the main way of life, even if the tour also chooses Harbin Ice City, Dalian and other beautiful landscapes, and even the bird island not far away has attracted many tourists, but few people choose Snake Island for sightseeing.

Snake Island is located on the shore of the island, the four seasons are distinct, the changes are gentle, there is no scorching heat in summer, there is no strange cold in winter, and it is in a humid state all year round. It is a one-sided mountain high in the west and low in the east. The vegetation on the mountain is dominated by trees and shrubs.

A variety of herbaceous plants are mixed in the mountains, coupled with specific temperatures and environments, forming a natural area for snakes to grow.

On Snake Island, there is only one type of snake, the black-browed pit viper.

The black-browed pit viper is a highly venomous snake, which is highly poisonous and mostly neurotoxin, and is not very aggressive. As you can tell from the name, its color is dominated by black markings.

The pit viper is an extremely endurable reptile that does not die without eating food for a long time.

At present, there are more than 20,000 black-browed pit vipers on Snake Island, which can be said to be the density of five snakes in five steps.

For people who don't have strong enough psychological capacity, it's simply terrifying.

From time to time, there are snakes shuttling on the yellow fallen leaves all over the ground, making a slight sound, although it is extremely slight, but it seems to swim in the bottom of people's hearts, and a chill arises spontaneously.

Li Ruoxi was already cold with cold hands and feet, his face was slightly pale, he grabbed Zhao Yuankang's hand tightly, and followed step by step, for fear of falling and being attacked by snakes.

Zhao Yuankang also persuaded her to give up distressedly, and waited with the staff in the exit lounge temporarily. She gritted her teeth and shook her head, Zhao Yuankang had no choice but to protect her inch by inch.

"Don't be afraid, pit vipers are venomous, but they don't attack people. As long as everyone keeps quiet and does not intrude on their territory, they will not be attacked by snakes. ”

A thin female guide leads the tourists, slowly along the iron mesh.

Inside the iron mesh, snakes of all sizes can be seen everywhere, swimming freely.

The snakes weren't very big, but no one dared to approach them easily. Because snake venom is so famous that it can kill people in almost a short time.

Even if the accompanying staff carries some of the serum and can carry out emergency treatment, there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof.

When the poisonous snake attacked, it was as fast as lightning, and no one dared to risk their lives.

Compared with snake venom, snakes also have an inextricable attack - death entanglement.

Many NBA fans know the term death coiling, which comes from the Spurs star Leonard's near-inexplicable defense. In fact, the snake's death entanglement to other attack targets can be called a helpless trick.

In some video libraries, you can find tigers, deer, zebras, wild boars, rhinos, and the like.

Zebras, antelopes, and deer are just slightly larger animals, and it is not enough to rely on them. There is not a wild boar, tiger, or rhinoceros that is not a fierce beast.

The snake can use its seemingly soft body to form a continuous, stronger and stronger tightness, and squeeze the life of these fierce beasts clean, which shows how domineering and ferocious it is.

"On Snake Island, there are so many snakes, what do they do for a living?" Li Ruoxi asked with a sense of trepidation in his voice.

"They live on birds, there is nothing to eat on the island, and they only have food in spring and autumn when migratory birds come in the spring."

The female guide stopped and patiently explained beside her.

On Snake Island, there are few female tourists, so a female tour guide can act as a psychological counselor and inject some courage into female compatriots.

Slowly, the pit viper learns to hibernate in order to conserve energy and maintain nutrients in the body, so that it can live until the migratory birds fly. All snakes use summer as the best season to hunt. The female guide continued to whisper.

"The pit viper, although it is a highly venomous snake, is also a very lazy snake. They can lie quietly on rocks, branches, and grass for more than ten hours without moving. What do they rely on to hunt? They have only two housekeeping skills: a buccal socket "thermal locus" and venom. ”

"The Snake Island pit viper also has a skill, and that is to change color. They often crawl out of caves or crevices in the rocks in the morning, climb onto branches, grass, and rocks, and their bodies become close to the color of branches, blades of grass, or rocks, waiting for the unlucky birds to come to their door. She explained the characteristics of pit vipers like a treasure.

"Between the pit viper's eyes and nose there is a buccal socket called a "thermal locator", which, at a certain distance, can distinguish temperature changes of one thousandth of a degree, and the reaction speed does not exceed a tenth of a second. ”

She gave a bland introduction to the habits of pit vipers, which amazed the tourists.

The magic of nature is everywhere, and the pit viper can entrench itself on this island and form such a large scale, and naturally has its unique ability, just in terms of endurance, it is enough to make people embarrassed.

"Ahh Li Ruoxi suddenly let out a scream, hugged Zhao Yuankang tightly with both hands, and lifted his feet off the ground.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around to watch, and found a small snake with the thickness of a little finger, scurrying out under the cover of a fallen leaf, not far from them, but it did not mean to hurt anyone. It's just that girls are naturally timid and are shocked.

The little snake was also panicked in the face of everyone, turned around and swam away into the distance.

"Don't be afraid, I'll play a trick on you." Tonghai suddenly became interested.

But he saw that his right hand and middle two fingers were together, and he said something in his mouth, and pointed to the little snake.

The little snake suddenly froze, no longer swimming forward, and its slender body struggled a few times, but it stopped in place.

"Snake Lock?!" The old man Li Haishan exclaimed.

Rao is that he is well-informed, and he is also amazed by Tonghai's magic skills. Tonghai nodded, obviously admitting that this was the snake locking technique.

Snake locking is said to be a special technique in Xiangxi, Hunan, after locking the snake, the snake can not move casually, let alone attack the snake locker.

It must be a inheritance that I learned when I traveled the world.

He picked up a piece of dead grass from the ground and twisted his fingers around it a few times to form a simple knot of grass. And the little snake on the ground also bent and intertwined automatically.

The snake that used to be extremely flexible has now become a dead thing thrown on the ground.

Everyone looked at the motionless and almost frozen snake on the ground, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Tong Hai revealed this hand, which made everyone look at him with admiration, and unconsciously gathered around him.
