Chapter 221: Fierce Fight between Man and Snake
Wu Zhiyuan could recognize this snake at a glance because he had seen it in the wine jar of his fifth uncle's house when he was a child. The fifth uncle has always had a bad waist, but he can drink a few sips, so he often soaks some mountain scorpions in wine, and sometimes he will check the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine by himself, and prepare a few flavors of Chinese medicine according to the recipe and soak them in the wine, so as to satisfy his desire to drink and cure his back pain at the same time.
Once Wu Zhiyuan saw such a snake soaked in a glass wine jar at the fifth uncle's house, its back was full of triangular gray patterns, which were scattered, the snake's belly had been dissected, and the internal organs and snake gallbladders had all been taken away, leaving only the snake body soaked in it. Wu Zhiyuan was very curious about the snake soaked in this wine, so he asked the fifth uncle, and the fifth uncle told him that this snake is a five-step snake, also known as a five-step pour, which is a valuable Chinese medicinal material, which has a miraculous effect on relaxing the tendons and activating the nerves, dispelling dampness and dissipating cold, but these five steps are extremely poisonous, and the person bitten by it will definitely bleed and die of death within five steps.
It is precisely because of the particularity of this snake that Wu Zhiyuan was extremely impressed, and when he saw it today, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and three words lingered in his mind repeatedly: "Five steps down!" ”
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan's original steps moving forward stopped, and the five steps were extremely poisonous, since it didn't take the initiative to attack itself, it was better not to provoke it. The tomb door of the burial chamber is behind the vase, and perhaps there is another way to lead it open five steps.
However, the situation at this time is no longer beyond Wu Zhiyuan's control, Wubu has obviously discovered him, this snake is already very aggressive, and seeing Wu Zhiyuan's abnormal behavior, he is already full of hostility towards him, and the snake body wrapped around the vase slid quickly, as if he was about to climb from the vase to the ground.
The intention of the five steps down is self-evident, as long as he goes down to the ground, he will launch an attack on Wu Zhiyuan. Wu Zhiyuan realized this and knew that this battle could not be avoided, so it was better to strike first, so he shook his shoulder and smashed the porcelain jar in his hand towards the snake body on the vase!
The distance between the two is relatively close, Wu Zhiyuan's blow hit the snake that was winding around the vase very accurately, and with a "bang", the porcelain jar hit the vase and smashed it instantly, and the broken porcelain pieces fell to the ground. The snake body shook, the whole snake body fell to the ground with a "snap", the white snake's belly was facing up, the snake body shook again, the whole snake body turned over again, the snake head suddenly raised to Wu Zhiyuan, the snake's mouth was violently opened, the fangs were exposed, and the black letter swallowed and vomited, making a "whoosh" sound.
Only then did Wu Zhiyuan find that the back of the five-step fall was smashed by the porcelain jar, and there was faint red snake blood flowing out. This time, this poisonous snake has been completely enraged, and the next vicious fight is inevitable.
Wu Zhiyuan is now defenseless, but he is facing a legendary poisonous snake, the Maoshan charm obviously has no effect on it, and the only thing that can be used as a defense at the moment is the porcelain on the wall under his feet.
Wubu was extremely smart, and instantly sensed Wu Zhiyuan's attempt, it suddenly let out a scream of "whoosh", and at the same time, the half of its raised body flicked forward like lightning, and it was immediately retracted, as if it was tempting.
Wu Zhiyuan's eyes were fixed on the five steps when he squatted, and when he saw it suddenly issued a warning, the squatting action stopped, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The stalemate between the two lasted for a few breaths, during this time Wu Zhiyuan saw the nearest porcelain jar from the corner of his eye, he knew that such a stalemate was not a way, and suddenly squatted, and at the same time grabbed the porcelain jar in his hand, without any pause, he directly smashed the porcelain jar five steps down!
This series of actions is like flowing water, only completed in the electric light and stone fire, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the sound of the porcelain jar breaking the wind suddenly rose, and shot towards the head of the five-step fall.
After all, Wubu was not an ordinary snake, and just as the porcelain jar was about to hit its head, the upper half of its raised snake body suddenly shortened and stuck to the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan was waiting for an opportunity, almost at the moment when the porcelain jar was taken off, his body rushed towards the vase, rushed to the vase with an arrow step, and pushed the vase down with all his strength, and the inverted direction of the vase was exactly where the five steps were located.
Although this vase is more than one person tall, it is extremely heavy, and Wu Zhiyuan only barely pushed it down with such force, if he succeeds in hitting it in five steps, it will definitely be smashed into a puddle of mud.
Although Wu Zhiyuan had the intention of throwing down the vase and falling to death in five steps, his ultimate goal was to figure out the tomb door behind the guò vase and escape from this tomb, so after the vase was pushed down, he didn't care whether he hit the five steps or not, and as soon as he bent down, he drilled into the low tomb door.
Helplessly, the shape of the vase is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and after falling to the ground, the bottle mouth is aligned with five steps, so it didn't hit the snake at all, the poisonous snake understood Wu Zhiyuan's intentions, the snake body suddenly twisted, the snake tail was raised, like an arrow off the string, and suddenly pierced Wu Zhiyuan's back.
Wu Zhiyuan heard a strange sound behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that there was a spike like an awl on the tail of the snake that was five steps down, and the snake tail was like a sharp sword stabbing directly at him.
It was just an instinctive reaction, Wu Zhiyuan gave up the move of entering the tomb door, and instead retreated into the tomb, and at the same time reached out to be the awl-like snake tail that pierced straight in.
A burst of retreat kicked down several blue and white porcelain, Wu Zhiyuan didn't have time to look at the situation under his feet, at this moment, he only felt a tingling pain in his arm, and when he looked down, the snake's tail cone had been pierced on his right arm, fortunately, he retreated in time, and opened a certain distance from the five steps, and this time only stabbed a wound the size of a grain of rice.
The blood flowed out immediately, and when he smelled the smell of blood in five steps, he immediately launched a frenzy, making several "whoosh" sounds one after another, and the snake body bounced up again, and was about to launch another attack towards Wu Zhiyuan.
There was no time to think about it, Wu Zhiyuan could only dodge at this time, he quickly retreated, and went directly to the other side of the sarcophagus in the center of the tomb, thinking in his heart that he might be able to use the barrier of this sarcophagus and five steps to circle upside down.
As soon as he ran to the other end of the sarcophagus, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly had another idea, being in this tomb, sooner or later he would be bitten by five steps, and the sarcophagi in these tombs were empty, which could just be used to hide, as a temporary shelter, to solve the urgent need in front of him.
With this in mind, he used all his strength to lift the lid of the sarcophagus. Although the sarcophagus coffin lid is lighter and thinner than the coffin body, it is also bluestone chiseled after all, which is very heavy, but at this time, Wu Zhiyuan was in a desperate situation, and he didn't know where the brute force came from, and he suddenly overturned the coffin lid to the ground, and the dry corpse lying on the coffin lid was also pressed under the coffin lid, making a few broken sounds of bones being crushed.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart sank, and secretly scolded himself for being too reckless, and actually lifted the coffin lid to the ground, so since he hid in the coffin, it would be useless to cover the coffin without a coffin lid.
At this moment, his eyes glanced at the coffin, and he was immediately surprised, only to see that there was still a five-step coil in the sarcophagus!
