CHAPTER XIX

After listening to Fang Lin's words, the owner looked a little nervous, looked out in amazement, and immediately sighed and said gloomily:

"Hey! Others were wounded by the obstacle of iniquity. ”

Fang Lin said curiously:

"Oh, what's so fierce? I also want to ask the owner to explain it carefully. ”

When he said this, he was actually on guard, once the owner of the village Ding Yi showed any flaws in his words, he would definitely not hesitate to pull out his gun and shoot him!

You must know that if you talk about the determination of your mind and the decisiveness of your actions, none of the people present can match the forest, but he has never done useless work, and the reason why he does not agree with Huang Zhong's suggestion to slaughter the village is not by any Bodhisattva's sympathy, but the effort to slaughter the village is less than the benefits obtained, that's all.

Ding Yi, the owner of the village, sighed and said:

"Because of the turbulence in Xuzhou, it has been ten years since I moved here, although the life in the mountains is poor, but fortunately it is quiet and worry-free, who knows that a strange snake has been moved in the nearby mountain stream a few years ago, very vicious. Every few months we have to parade around hurting people, and we can't afford to be bothered. Even if several hunters were invited, they could not be removed. Counting today, it's time for it to come out of the hole and hurt people. ”

Fang Lin's face changed, it wasn't that he heard any flaws, just because when the owner Ding Yi finished the last word, the Nightmare Mark had already given a hint:

"You've been awarded Quest C: Alien Snake. The objective of the mission is to kill the evil python entrenched in the mountains. This quest can only be completed by you alone. Mission time limit, 4 hours. Do you want to accept this assignment? Yes/No. ”

It's a sequential mission again!

Because of the contract of kof, when Fang Lin accepted this task, Green Hu Huahao had a hint and could see the content of the task, and both of them noticed that you can only complete these words alone, and immediately looked at him with concern.

Fang Lin had already achieved step C of the continuous task at this time, and he had not received the reward, of course, he was reluctant to give up like this, he thought about it at this time, and then said categorically:

"I am willing to share the worries of the owner."

The owner Ding Yi said:

"I just heard that General Huang said that Mr. is a person who has returned from the Western Regions, and he has a strange skill, so he has been trying to ask for help. Now that Mr. is willing to help, that's the best! ”

Fang Lin smiled bitterly:

"In the meantime, I'll have to ask the people in the village who have been attacked by this snake."

The owner Ding Yi said briskly:

"This is naturally the way it should be."

Hu Huahao walked over at this time, and Fang Lin frowned in a low voice:

"Are you sure? If not, give up, you still want to kill snakes with your little body? Beware of being swallowed by snakes. ”

Fang Lin shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I'll have to try, don't worry, I'm not a person without measure. If it's too dangerous, I'll give up. ”

So Fang Lin asked in turn in the village, unfortunately, there were only five people who had really seen the snake clearly, of which four died, and one was in a bed unconscious, like the two men who had just come back from a wild run, but when they were setting up a trap in the mountains to hunt prey, they heard the cry of the strange snake, and they were so shocked that they ran back in a panic, and the injuries on their bodies were falling.

After asking the villagers, the information obtained from their mouths was quite vague, some said that the snake was several feet long, some said that it was only more than a foot, some said that it was paraded on the ground, and some said that it was flying in the air.

However, Fang Lin still summed up two things that can be confirmed from these scattered information:

One is that before the appearance of this strange snake, it will inevitably make a sound, just like the "clucking" sound of a hen after laying eggs.

The second is that the usual snakes are a little afraid of people, but this strange snake is just the opposite, the attack surname is extremely strong, very vicious.

Next, in order to confirm how strong the poisonous surname of the evil snake was, Fang Lin asked the housekeeper of the farm, the old man who greeted them when they entered the village, to lead him to the family that had been bitten to take a look.

At this time, the farmhouse was naturally very simple, the house was still made of mud and straw adobe bricks, and there were many mud holes bitten out by many large gray bees to make nests, which was nothing more than a hall at the main entrance, a bedroom next to it, and a small room with stones casually piled up in the back was considered a kitchen. It is still shared by two households, and the firewood is burned separately.

It was already dark at this time, and under the guidance of the butler with the lantern, Fang Lin walked into the room that was still dimly lit under the light of the oil lamp, and his nose immediately smelled a fishy smell.

Fang Lin frowned, held back the churning in his stomach, walked to the bed to take a closer look, and saw that the person lying on the bed was lying on his side, his face was sallow, his breath was like a gossamer, and occasionally he could let out a little moan from his nose, and he twitched a few times, and there was a terrible and miserable mouth on his bare arm, obviously the stench emanated from there.

"How can this snake tear out such a long wound?" Fang Lin wondered.

The butler immediately said:

"How could it be, the second fool was just touched by the teeth of that thing, and immediately took a sickle and cut off all the flesh around his arm. Therefore, it is better to come back alive, otherwise he would have died in the mountains. ”

At this time, Fang Lin really couldn't study anything about the appearance of this miserable wound, so he ordered the housekeeper to fetch a basin of water and bring some salt, he first melted the salt into hot water, and then took a clean and clean cloth to slowly clean the terrible wound on the second fool's hand. It stands to reason that the pain should be severe at this time, but the person on the bed did not move, and it was obvious that the injury had long been numb.

As the dirt and blood scabs on the surface of the wound were wiped off, it turned out that the wound had already festered and drained pus, and what was even more shocking was that blisters of different sizes had appeared around it. Due to necrosis, the muscles in the wound are very swollen and stiff, and a large amount of yellow water is discharged.

The surrounding skin was purple-black, and it was already necrotic at a glance, Fang Lin reached out and touched the groin and neck of the two fools, and found that the lymph nodes were swollen. He quickly recalled what he had in his head. It has been confirmed that the snake venom of this snake is a hemolytic toxin rather than a neurotoxin, which directly affects the human body, and the neurotoxin directly harms the central nervous system.

This information was very important to Fang Lin, at least he could confirm the snake's habitat. Hemolytic poisonous snakes usually live in moist grass near water, while nerve snakes mostly live in trees.

He thought about it for a moment at this time, tied the arm of the second fool on the bed with a cloth band, and then quickly drew a cross in the festering wound with a quick knife, then squeezed out the thick blood inside, and took most of the blood in the basin, and then used the knife to cut off the purple and black muscles around him, and finally took out a bottle of the hemostatic medicine purchased from the nightmare space, sprinkled it on his wound and bandaged it properly, and the medicine quickly took effect. The two fools groaned in pain and woke up.

The reason why Fang Lin was willing to use a few hundred points of medicine to save such an insignificant little character was because he was the only one who had seen that evil snake, and now he had to act alone, although the difficulty of the continuous task was never very great, but at this time, after all, he was in the golden main quest, it was absolutely careless, and if he could grasp more clues, he would be able to add a little more certainty to complete the task, which was the best.

When the old man saw that the villagers were rescued, he was naturally surprised, and hurriedly went up to explain the reason to the second fool who had come to his senses, and the second fool looked at Fang Lin with grateful eyes, naturally knowing everything in a weak voice, and saying everything.

It turned out that the strange snake that attacked him was a strange snake with a crown on its head and about three feet long, and he could not see its specific appearance at that time, only that the crown on its head was red, and it moved very quickly.

After obtaining this information, Fang Lin already had a rough idea in his heart, and the two fools struggled to get out of bed and knelt down and said:

"Sir, thank you for saving your life."

Fang Lin smiled, seeing that this person spoke clearly and logically, he didn't understand why others called him a second fool for a while, waved his hand and went out, said hello to old Hu Green, asked the old housekeeper to get a robe, took a few common anti-snake medicines, and took a rooster out in the rain.

He had first-hand information at this time, and he had roughly deduced the origin of the strange snake he was going to face, in fact, Fang Lin once read a book from the Tang Dynasty, called "Lu Wei Ji", which once recorded the text of this snake:

"On his head is a cockscomb serpent, and his head is like a rooster with a crown. The body is more than a foot long, the circumference can be several inches, and it haunts in the middle of the month, and the Chinese will die. There are at the foot of Huiji Mountain. ”

The unknown danger is the most difficult to prevent, this cockscomb snake is usually dormant, often in the days when the moon is at its fullest, that is, around the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it is very active. This is also the reason why the owner said that this snake will hurt people every other month. Fang Lin learned about the target's special surname at this time, that is, "copied Ya's old bottom." "When you act, you naturally seem to be at ease
