5. Snake meat

Next Chapter

The battle ended without suspense, the phantom snake that had died of grievance could no longer make waves, Ye Bai's tense spirit relaxed, his shoulders hung weakly, his whole body was detached, and he sat on the ground without any image, and his rapid breathing lasted for a long time.

It was the first time he had been involved in a bloody battle since he was born, and he performed better than expected, and everything went as planned.

"It......'s over," Ye Bai said happily, and when he wanted to let go of his right hand gripping the knife, he couldn't do so, and the fingers and the knife were like being firmly glued together by a strong glue, unable to separate.

“......”

Ye Bai remained silent, tilted his head in contemplation, looked at his right hand and the knife in confusion, as if he had figured out something, and seemed to confirm something, without saying a word, he made up a knife on the corpse of the phantom snake, and the cold and direct touch shook the five fingers.

"Huh. ”

Ye Bai smiled briefly, gave up thinking, gave up probing, waved the knife numbly, cut off the head of the phantom snake, and only then did his right hand regain control and let go of the knife.

Nervous, venting, certain, restless, cautious, raging......

Maybe it's both, maybe it's neither.

"Hmm...... Never mind. ”

Ye Bai gave up further research, broke free from the whirlpool of thinking, his face returned to normal, wiping his sweat nonchalantly, wanting to stand up but then his center of gravity was unstable, he fell ugly, his broken body could not bear the burden of the battle, and his injuries worsened.

"It's embarrassing. Ye Bai trembled and got up, looked at the snake corpse to divert his attention, his face was not sad or happy, and he said to himself: "Then again, what kind of snake is this?"

After searching the knowledge stored in my brain, I couldn't find a matching name, could it be a new variety, right? Fortunately, Ye Bai's curiosity came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for him to give up finding out and instead think about the possibility of eating.

"With the size of this snake, it's enough to eat for weeks without considering the preservation of the problem. Looking at this fresh snake meat, the hunger that he had been deliberately ignoring erupted, and his stomach made an embarrassing sound, Ye Bai licked his dry lips, and said hungrily: "No...... I can't help it!"

He said this, but his hands did not move. To be cautious, you must consider the safety of food, especially if you don't know whether the flesh and blood of the phantom snake contains toxins, Ye Bai doesn't want to risk his life.

The knowledge accumulated on weekdays played a role again, remembering that I had read in a certain book that the venom of snakes was produced near the head, in order to eat it with peace of mind, Ye Bai cut off a long section of the head of the snake corpse, and put this part together with the snake's head for storage.

Poison is also a weapon, and it's better to keep it on your body than to throw it away, just in case!

Then, an empty plastic bottle filled with a bottle of snake blood, the viscous blood exuded a strange color through the transparent bottle, and the rich fishy smell irritated the nasal passages.

"To drink, or not to drink?"

Although I don't like this kind of desperate action, I really can't endure the torture of hunger and thirst. Not to mention the time when there are injuries in the body, excessive blood loss, and now there is an urgent need for supplemental nutrition to maintain the normal functioning of the body!

“...... In the end, Ye Bai chose the former, with hesitation, the tip of his tongue carefully licked a drop of snake blood, the smell of rust with a fishy smell lingered in the nasal cavity, and the faint bitter taste quickly spread on the taste buds, in short, it was very unpleasant.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, since I have already drunk a small drop, I took a small sip in my heart with the thought of self-abandonment, closed my eyes nervously and waited for the result.

Although he is an atheist, this does not prevent Ye Bai from sending a sincere prayer to the Mantian God and Buddha he has never met, and muttering: "Buddha bless, Guanyin Bodhisattva...... Praise you, O God......"

Perhaps sympathizing with his plight, God is very face-saving and merciful. After more than ten minutes, there were no adverse reactions in the body. On the contrary, because of the snake's blood, a hot breath circulated in the body, and I always felt that my consciousness was clear, my strength was restored, my injuries were slightly improved, and the severe pain was relieved.

Mentioning that the heart on his throat and eyes finally returned to where it should be, Ye Bai felt the changes in his body exactly, and muttered, "Is it an illusion, or is it the medicinal effect of this snake blood?"

Gave up the guess, poured two sips directly into himself, closed his eyes, and felt the benefits of the flowing heat flow in his body with his heart, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said in shock: "I have found a treasure!"

Not only did he feel that his body was light, but it also had the effect of relieving severe pain, Ye Bai excitedly loaded the snake blood gushing out of the phantom snake, and he didn't want to waste a drop.

One of the major problems of drinking water has been solved, and the problem of hunger is not difficult to solve, and there are a large number of fresh cuts of meat that can be eaten in front of you.

"Uh-huh...... Let me think about it, remember that the book said that there are many parasites on the snakeskin, which is very unhygienic, and it needs to be sterilized and microorganisms before eating...... Fire?Drill wood to make fire?No......" Based on the current situation and thinking about it, Ye Bai chose to compromise in the face of hunger, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only imitate the primitive people's diet of drinking blood.

In fact, he didn't have much resistance to this kind of compromise!

"The scales of this snake are so hard...... Ye Bai held the knife again, learned a lesson, deliberately avoided the sturdy scales, cut off the snake meat from the inside through the snake skin, and stuffed the thumb-sized piece of meat into his mouth and chewed, the snake meat was full of toughness, and the taste was not good or bad.

"Not bad. Ye Bai commented.

Growing up, he never wasted food and was very tolerant of taste, not to mention that after getting used to the smell of blood, the taste of raw meat was not yet difficult to swallow.

"Not enough. ”

For high school students with a strong appetite, this amount of snake meat is naturally unsatisfying, and controlling his injured hands to cut a large number of pieces of meat with difficulty, and drinking snake blood while eating snake meat, he has the illusion of standing at the top of the food chain.

"Whew...... Full. I don't know how much snake meat I ate, the two major problems of hunger and thirst were solved, and due to the particularity of this ingredient, the injury improved a lot, Ye Bai said with satisfaction: "There is still a lot left, I have to think of a way to carry it...... Ah, there we have it!"

This is a rare treasure that must not be thrown away like this. Ye Bai frowned and thought hard, calculated in his heart, and immediately measured an approximate length, cut a section from the snake corpse according to the length, and then wrapped it around his body to make something similar to a breastplate.

It can not only exert the defense power of the phantom snake scales, but also carry and move, killing two birds with one stone!

The only downside is the weight of the breastplate, which greatly reduces the user's speed and agility, but this level of disadvantage is still acceptable compared to the increased defense.

Even if some of it is used to make armor, there is still a surplus on the ground. There was no way, Ye Bai threw away the textbooks in his schoolbag, stuffed the dismembered snake corpse into the schoolbag, and had to discard the part that really couldn't fit it.

After stockpiling enough food, Ye Bai looked at the bladed knife, it was time to change his weapon. Luckily, there were plenty of materials nearby, and I found the wreckage of the bicycle to find the right parts to modify it, and I got a weapon that resembled a short spear, light and sharp, and the attack range was greatly increased.

After a big victory in the first battle, sufficient food, and now with new equipment, Ye Bai has more confidence in his heart, and he doesn't even feel terrible walking in the Black Forest.

In the near future, he will regret this superficial idea!

No matter how reckless, patient, and disguised he is, he has never been able to change his ordinary life experience, and it is destined to be impossible to do things without leakage.

Reeling in the afterglow of victory overlooks the importance of the quiet Black Forest, where the presence of phantom snakes means that there are more creatures hidden in the darkness, and they are swarming to the lure of the strong smell of blood.

It took too much time to dismember the corpse of the phantom snake, and at the same time, unaware of the imminent danger, remained where it was, sitting smugly and resting, its phone shining indiscriminately, and looking at its unique surroundings with interest.

What unfolds in front of you is a miracle of life, the sky has no sun, moon and stars, the world is forever shrouded in darkness, and contrary to the impression of cold, the air is dry, like autumn. In this mysterious ecosystem, a vibrant forest is born, with ancient trees standing tall and tall, and exotic flowers and plants blooming freely on the ground, swaying in the wind.

Ye Bai picked up a black mushroom with a skull pattern printed on the side, and picked a dark purple wildflower, all the plants that grew in the Hesse were plants he had never seen before, and muttered, "Seriously, where is this?"

Whew......

While he was pondering, a faint voice came from a distance, a familiar sound, the sound of the fallen leaves that had been piled up on the ground for many years, and the sound of the rubbing between the leaves.

What's approaching!

Coming to the conclusion, Ye Bai turned off the light source of his mobile phone in a panic, and his hands holding the short spear trembled constantly, betraying his mood at this time.

Whew!

The voice was getting closer and closer, and he ran with all his strength without any doubt, accurately locking on Ye Bai's direction. After a little thought, he immediately understood the problem, and here he killed and dismembered the phantom snake, the smell of blood was strong, like a lighthouse in the dark, pointing the way to the hungry beast!

“...... Oops!"

Although he was scared, he didn't seem panicked, maybe it was the weapons and armor on his body that gave him cheap confidence, and instead of running away with all his strength, he hid behind the dense grass next to him, wanting to see if there was a chance to take advantage of it!

“......”

Once the light of the mobile phone is lost, the Black Forest reverts to the eerie, dead, and uneasy Black Forest, and it is difficult to see the five fingers when you reach out. Ye Bai focused his attention on his ears, and the sound of approaching suddenly disappeared, and his condition was unknown.

Squeaky ......

The sound of chewing echoed in the endless darkness, inciting unease, Ye Bai was so nervous that he didn't dare to take a breath, trying his best to hide his existence, lest he be discovered by an unknown enemy.

The vague shadow shrouded in darkness enjoyed the delicious snake meat, and suddenly his nose moved, and he smelled a strange smell mixed in the air, and immediately stopped the movements of his mouth, and immediately discovered the location where Ye Bai was hiding by relying on his excellent sense of smell, and made a preemptive strike.

Ye Bai was nervously hiding behind the grass, and suddenly noticed that the weeds in front of him were shaking, and a gust of wind with the stench of wild beasts was blowing in his face!

"Discovered!"

A strong sense of crisis stimulated the instinct of the creature, Ye Bai rolled to the side regardless of the image, and the next moment, the weeds flew, and the dense grass in front of him instantly became a big shorter.

Rolling all the way, his back hit the foot of the tree, the impact affected the injury, Ye Bai grinned in pain, and before he had time to breathe, he heard the crisp sound of the fallen leaves being trampled, and immediately understood that the enemy in the dark was approaching, he got up from the ground in embarrassment, and hurriedly ran away in a bulky "cuirass", hiding behind a boulder before he had time to breathe.

After regaining his strength, he decided to fight back!
