Zhang Qing nodded knowingly, this was the characteristic of the obvious neurotoxin, which surprised him a little. Generally speaking, small venomous snakes use neurotoxins, while larger snakes are basically blood toxins or mixed toxins.

However, this is only the experience of the earth, no matter how large the venomous snake is there, it is not as big as the snake, and generally snakes of this size are non-venomous, relying on muscle strength to hunt. Zhang Qingcai didn't know why such a big snake still had such a strong poison, and even it was still dual-purpose, which could only be attributed to the difference in the world setting.

"This miasma has some meaning. Ah Longyin turned his head and pointed at the water bird, it only inhaled a trace of miasma, but in a short period of time, it could only involuntarily tremble its muscles slightly, and it was completely unable to control its movements, you must know that it was still fluttering when it was in Zhang Qing's hands just now, Zhang Qing was careful when he grabbed it, but he didn't hurt it.

"This miasma itself is not fatal, but it has a strong paralyzing effect, and when inhaled, it can cause the body to be unable to control the body. If you keep this state for a long time, it will slowly extend to the lungs, and finally although you will not be poisoned, you will suffocate to death. ”

Zhang Qing agreed: "No wonder even if my aunt prepares an antidote for us, she still asks us to be careful of its toxicity." If this miasma is inhaled during battle, it will cause slow movement and become easily entangled in snakes. And if you are bitten, it will also cause negative effects such as dizziness and numbness, resulting in weakened mobility, and even if you use an antidote, it will not detoxify so quickly. Looks like we'll have to be extra careful when we fight later. ”

"That's right, Master's medicine is still in case of emergency, let's try not to get hurt. Ah Longyin imagined being bitten by a spicy poisonous snake, with a tangled expression on her face.

"Speaking of which, this miasma is very interesting, it can quickly stun opponents, but it is not fatal, and it is much more effective than the smoke I am using now. If you can collect it, it should be useful against enemies. ”

Ah Longyin's fighting method was originally poison flurry, and now he found a non-lethal poison gas that acted quickly, and he immediately fell in mind.

Zhang Qing was not very optimistic, but he still said casually: "Your master has already studied the snake here, but she has not used this miasma, and there should be some difficulties that we don't know." ”

Ah Longyin didn't care about the difficulties that might arise, and she could only find out the fun by researching it herself, but she was determined to save more and study it more carefully in the future.

The two disposed of the carcasses of the two animals that had been treated as guinea pigs, and began to prepare for them. They put their equipment in order, then cautiously dived into the depression to get down to business.

The reason why I want to dive in is because although it seems to be calm now, you must know that there is basically a large snake hidden in every puddle here, which is the smallest and nearly a foot long. Although they were familiar with the habits of the snakes, they had all the theoretical knowledge they had received from Obony, and if they neglected the slightest detail, or if they had any inappropriate behavior that attracted their attention and were attacked by a group, they could not guarantee that they would be able to leave the depression safely.

。。。。。。

When they came to the center of the depression, the two of them looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, I don't know if the puddle here is deeper than the outer one, but it is significantly larger. And the algae on the surface of the water also grow much better, and the colors are very bright, and it looks like there is a strange vitality.

In addition, the distance between the pits is also significantly increased, and although the snakes are not very fond of landing, it is clear that each snake also extends its territory to the shore, which increases their range of control.

Speaking of which, the further you go in, the bigger the snake gets, then the snake in the center must be the largest, and it must meet their requirements, but the two of them did not come near the innermost pool, which was bigger than all the puddles in the depression, and could even be regarded as a small lake. Even the surrounding large puddles did not provoke.

This is because Oboni had told them that although the snake is a solitary animal, there is still a king. The innermost one must be the strongest and biggest snake king. Compared to the snake outside, even if it is a prime-aged snake near the center, the strength of the snake king is not comparable to them.

What's more, the Snake King already has the wisdom to discern the enemy's tricks and traps, which makes their snake fishing plan unworkable against the Snake King. And as the snake king, he will definitely be able to command other snakes, once he fights, it is not two to one, it is likely to be two to two. Moreover, this snake king also has some strange changes that Oboni does not understand, which makes her very vigilant.

Therefore, there, the two of them were not necessarily the opponents of the snake king, so the two of them honestly hunted the needed snakes at a distance from the center. Anyway, according to Oboni, the snake is indifferent, as long as it doesn't provoke the snake king, or disturbs the other party when they are preying and eating, it won't care how many of its kind die outside. After all, the number of puddles is fixed, even if there are more monks and less porridge, only if one dies, can a puddle be vacated. The Snake King must not be able to kill his own kind to his offspring at will, but if he is killed by outsiders, the Snake King can breed a descendant to occupy this puddle, after all, it is the nature of all animals to reproduce bloodlines.

After that, it was snake fishing time, and the two cooperated tacitly, and soon began to fish for snakes from the selected puddle. And under the good bait and the skills of the two, even the longer and thicker snake is not their opponent, but something went wrong at the beginning.

This is because Zhang Qing wanted to learn the previous lesson, and when he killed the first snake, he didn't use so much force, but only cut off most of the snake's head, and did not hurt the rope in the snake's belly.

It's a pity that the vitality of this thing is really strong, and it can still launch multiple attacks without being completely cut off its head, although it is not fast when it is worn on a rope, and the action can be easily dodged by the two. But even if it wasn't too threatening, it was too tiring, and it wasn't until Zhang Qing completely smashed its head that it completely quieted down.

As a result, not only was the miasma not collected this time, but the venom glands on the fangs were also destroyed. On the other hand, it took twice as long as before, and the combat range was much larger, almost alarming its neighbors. The most unfortunate thing is that when Zhang Qing measured the length of the snake afterwards, it was half a foot short of two zhang.

It's not that it can't be used, but the effect will obviously be slightly worse. And Zhang Qing and Ah Longyin will not allow their tasks to be flawed if they can. In other words, this hunt was a complete failure, and after fighting for a long time, all that was harvested in the end was a snakeskin that was slightly damaged due to fierce fighting, and the first one was not as good as the first one.

The two summarized the gains and losses of this hunt while resting, and finally agreed that even if Zhang Qing cut the rope, he would have to cut off the snake's head and snake body with one knife, so as to ensure the speed and safety of the hunt, and Ah Longyin only needs to pay attention to the inertia generated when the snake's body and head are separated.

So after a short rest, the two started a new round of hunting, and after the previous two rehearsals, the two were already familiar with the road. Although the snake here is much stronger than the periphery, not only is it more powerful, more venomous, more miasma, but also more intelligent than the earliest one. They fought a lot of wits and courage with the snakes here, and after three hours of hard work, they finally caught two snakes of sufficient size in the middle of the afternoon, and they were one short of their final goal. And Ah Longyin also collected a lot of miasma and venom, and was ready to wait for the free time to study and study.

Zhang Qing looked at the situation in the distance and found that many animals had already appeared next to the surrounding puddles and began to enjoy drinking water and algae, just because they were in the center of the depression, and there were no animals that had entered such a deep place for the time being—after all, the animals were not stupid, they knew that the algae was delicious, but they were guarded by snakes. Although the algae inside is more delicious, it's a pity that the snake in it is stronger and stronger, and the guy who is not very confident in himself will not run in to play with these two-foot guys. And each puddle on the periphery is surrounded by multiple animals, and the snake can only attack one, as long as it is not unlucky enough to be chosen.

In fact, the same is true for the snakes, although there will be no shortage of small beasts by the outer puddles, and those dick snakes will not go hungry, but they also get less energy from these small beasts from the roots of purple algae. There is even a danger of being hunted by predators.

Although the snakes inside don't have so many options, those who dare to come in are all large beasts, and every time they hunt one, it is an opportunity for them to strengthen themselves. Coupled with the more abundant purple algae, they gain more toxicity, and their combat power is much stronger than that of the guys outside. After all, in this world, the pursuit of being stronger is not the exclusive domain of humans, and every animal will try to make itself strong after filling in its belly, so as to be able to protect itself in a world of the jungle.

"Let's move faster, it's time to hunt the snakes soon, I'm afraid we'll provoke a group of them if we don't finish at that time." Zhang Qing said with a frown.

Ah Longyin agreed, and said: "You're right, but we have emptied several puddles here, do you say you want to go to the puddles on the other side that are similar to this side, or go inside?"

Zhang Qing thought for a moment and replied: "Although the snake in this position is also twenty feet, it is also a matter of luck. The two of us just killed six, and only two of them were qualified. If we go to the other side, I don't know how long it will take to find a suitable one, we don't have so much time, why don't we go inside?"

Ah, the aftermath of yesterday's diving is that I slept from yesterday afternoon until noon today, and then got up and went out for a supper...... I slept for about fifteen or sixteen hours......
