Chapter 43: The Pit Viper
Ning Yi thought to herself: I am relieved that I have not missed it.
Looking at the fog in front of him, passing through a few big trees, he was quietly moving in the inner circle, just for fear of attracting demon beasts.
A few steps further, I saw an ancient tomb, recalling that I had read some books before, which introduced snakes like to be in tombs.
Looking up and down the ancient tomb, looking for the cave, came to the back of a pile of rocks, the mouth of the cave has a thick granular feces, guess whether there are snakes in the cave.
Snakes have the habit of hibernating, and when they go to sleep in the holes entrenched in winter, they sleep for several months at a time, without eating or drinking, and maintain their physical strength without moving.
When the spring flowers bloom, the snake wakes up and begins to go out to forage for food, and takes off its original coat.
When molting, a fluid is secreted between the old and new skin of the snake that helps in the molting of the snake.
The diameter and length of the snake's coat can be used to determine the weight of the snake and even to guess the name of the snake.
Then just look for the snake's cloak and see if it's a pit viper.
Soon after molting, the snake becomes more active, forages more, and gradually recovers.
It is said that as the temperature gradually rises, the snake enters estrus from late April to early May. When looking for a mate, the male and female snakes make a clear and bright "da-da".
I saw some snake skins next to a large rock, gray-brown in the middle, and a row of black-brown round spots on each side, which may be a pit viper in the hole.
The pit viper has a triangular head, grayish-brown on its back, and a row of blackish-brown round spots on each side.
The tooth is poisonous, but be careful not to get bitten. Lives in the mountains or plains, preying on rats and other small animals.
It's April of the year, and it's the time when snakes are in heat, so it's not difficult to catch them.
He jumped up and sat down on the big tree above, quietly waiting for dusk to come.
Close your eyes and recuperate, it's very noisy here, and there are all kinds of sounds, and now only calming your mind can make your ears hear more clearly.
About two hours passed, and the sky slowly darkened.
"Da Da Da!"
Well, Ning Yi was very surprised when she heard it!
Looking down, a pair of fireflies-like eyes were looking for a target, and the other head was swaying from time to time.
I thought how to catch it, as long as it had the guts, nothing else, but fortunately it didn't have to be caught alive.
Try masking first.
The mask method → this method is suitable for catching ferocious and large venomous snakes.
Ning Yi jumped off the tree silently and slowly approached it, it probably felt that someone was coming in, and immediately erected its head and neck, and made a "whirring" sound from its mouth.
Ning Yi took out a super large night pearl again, most snakes are afraid of light, and when catching snakes at night, they should bring a sufficiently charged miner's lamp to illuminate the snake's head.
It's much easier to place the Night Pearl directly next to the snake's head and shrink it into a ball, and then catch it.
It was too late, Ning Yi immediately took out the sack and threw it at the snake's head accurately, accurately covering its head, and quickly pressed it with his hands and stepped on its body with his feet.
Because it was night, only relying on the moon, there was no line estimated to be more than one meter long, immediately grabbed its head and cut it with a sword, the tail of the sword quickly cut its belly, and the hand was pulled in, and I didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking the gallbladder, a bit like killing a fish.
Finally, after looking in my stomach for a while, the looming cyan section, about the length of a tail finger, finally found the snake gall bladder, and put it in a small box after taking it.
