Chapter 113: Snake Hunt (Part II)
Although it's just a dick snake living on the periphery of the depression, it's still quite tall in the eyes of the two people who saw it for the first time.
The snake looked a little cautious, and even if it didn't rush out of the water, it stuck its head out of the water to observe the situation.
Although only the head is exposed, it is already possible to estimate its size. The snake's body is about the size of a bowl, and its head is slightly thicker than its body, with two wing-like protrusions on either side of it at the back, as well as a black pattern on the top of the head. In Zhang Qing's opinion, in addition to the size of the color, its shape looks like a cobra.
After observing that there was no wind or grass around it, it slowly swam to the shore. However, after crawling out of the water, he did not rush to the delicious rabbit, but waited for all his body to swim out of the water, first crossed his body, leaned up on the ground, and at the same time spread out the two protrusions, which looked very huge.
The snake was only about a foot long, half as short as Obonie had requested, and it looked like a young snake, but it was also suitable for training.
But Zhang Qing looked at the purple snake body shining in the sun, and the yellow scales on the inside of the protrusion, and couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: "Ah Bai Monster, come to the ball!"
Of course, he knew that this was not the world of Pokémon, and he didn't have a Poké Ball in his hand, so he had to wait for his prey to leave the water's edge while putting his hand on the hilt of the knife.
On the other side, Ah Longyin held the rope in his hand tightly, and waited for the snake to come and swallow the bait.
This rope is made of a kind of tough fine rattan in the swamp and woven together with fine copper wire, which is not only tough, can bear the weight of thousands of catties, but also can defend against the cutting of the sword, and the teeth and claws of ordinary animals have nothing to do with it, and it is called a "bundle demon rope" by Zhang Qing.
Not only can the demon rope be used as a long line for snake fishing, as it is now, but it can also be used to tie up various prey. In addition, climbing mountains and wading can play a role, and because the rope is only the thickness of the little thumb, even if the rope is only a few zhang long, there is only a small bundle, which is very easy to carry and is a necessary item for home travel, so both of them carry one.
Snakes prey on swallowing in one bite, as long as the snake swallows the bait, the iron hook will follow in, and the barbed iron hook can hang the snake's internal organs with a slight movement. And because of the involvement of the rope, the snake in pain cannot escape back into the water in time, and they can kill the prey more easily.
Sure enough, although the young snake was already very careful, it was still a beast after all. It didn't find any danger around it, and the cloak they wore had a special effect, made from the skin of an amphibian in a swamp, which could insulate the spread of its own smell, so that the snake's sensitive sense of smell could not find a faint mixture of human odor in the tempting fishy smell.
So the snake relented, swam quickly to the rabbit, and surrounded it with its body. It had just noticed that the little thing that smelled of it was motionless, and although the snake could see that the rabbit still had heat, it was worried that it was dead, and that the snake did not eat dead food.
When he found that the rabbit had just fainted and had not lost his breath, the happy young snake did not use his barren brain to think about how the pie in the sky appeared, but quickly opened his mouth wide, swallowed the rabbit in one gulp, and then slowly swallowed it through his muscles.
Ah Longyin didn't move, she waited patiently for the snake to swallow the hook deeper to make their hunt easier. The current Ah Longyin is no longer the frizzy little girl she was when she first met Zhang Qing, Wei Xiangzi's elite education and Zhang Qing's leading example have made her already talented and intelligent grow up rapidly, and patience is also an important achievement for her.
Finally, the half-swallowed snake sensed something was wrong. After all, the rabbit not only has a hook attached to it, but also carries a thin rope.
The stomach juice of this snake is very powerful, and Ah Longyin didn't pay too much attention when he tied it just now, and at this time, the cloth belt that tied the iron hook had been corroded and broken, and the iron hook was naturally separated from the rabbit's body. As the snake swallowed, the barbed iron hook was slowly hanging on top of the snake's esophagus, making it feel a trace of pain. And the string held behind it was also rubbing its snake kiss, making the snake feel very uncomfortable, and involuntarily twisted its body.
Seeing the strange movements of the snake, Ah Longyin quickly reacted that it should have realized that there was something superfluous in its body. Although she had faith in the iron hook and the demon rope, in order to prevent it from really having a way to spit out the hook, Ah Longyin decided not to wait any longer.
She quickly lifted her cloak to reveal her figure, then straightened the rope and dragged the snake hanging from the rope backwards.
And with her movements, the iron hook that was originally only lightly attached to the snake's body was also induced, hooked directly on its esophagus, and pierced deep into the flesh.
What was originally a slight stinging pain quickly turned into a fierce pain, which made the snake stunned for a moment. Instinctively, he curled up his body, then bounced high again, and kept tumbling.
Unfortunately, not only could not get rid of the iron hook in the body, but the vigorous exercise made the hook deeper. In fact, if it remains in this form, the snake's iron hook deep in its body will cause it to bleed to death, without even the need for someone else's intervention.
It's a pity that although this is only a young snake, it is also a zhang long and short, and the mouth of the bowl is thick. The python itself often relies on its own contraction to strangle its prey, and its strength is naturally not small. What's more, now is the moment of life and death, and the power of its explosion is even greater.
After Ah Longyin briefly gained the upper hand, he was quickly dragged by the jumping snake, and even almost let the rope go.
However, she didn't come alone, Zhang Qing had been waiting on the side for a long time. He also stood up from his hiding place, pulled the knife directly out of the wooden core scabbard behind his back, and with the inertia of drawing the knife and the force of charging forward, the knife slashed steadily under the bulge of the snake's neck.
Although the snake's skin is relatively thick enough, and the wriggling muscles also have a certain destructive effect on sharp weapons. But in front of the sharp and heavy treasure weapon into the disaster knife, it was all a layer of paper, at best a little thicker paper, and it was easily cut in two by Zhang Qing, and even the demon rope in his mouth was cut in two by this knife, so that Ah Longyin, who was still struggling with the snake, leaned back and almost didn't overturn.
And the stout snake head also flew towards Ah Longyin with the rope, and the snake head in mid-air probably hadn't reacted that he had been cut off, looking at Ah Longyin, who was quickly approaching him, he instinctively opened his mouth wide, and spewed out a purple and black miasma from the venom gland, covering Ah Longyin.
At this time, the young lady has not yet regained her balance, if she had been a year and a half ago, she would have been tricked.
It's a pity that today's Ah Longyin is not what it used to be, although not to mention how experienced it is, this simple and crude attack still poses no threat to her.
She let go of the rope in her hand as she leaned back, twisting in the air while grasping the edge of the cloak, and with a flick of her hand, the cloak was between herself and the snake's head.
This miasma was all sprayed on the cloak, and although the miasma of the snake was powerful, it did not corrode and could not destroy the cloak. And this cloak can even isolate the smell, and it is impossible for a miasma to penetrate in.
At this time, Zhang Qing also reacted, no longer bothered with the snake body that was still rolling on the ground, turned around and kicked out the snake head that was about to smash into Ah Longyin's body, and asked eagerly:
"Ayin, are you alright?"
"Hmph, Aqing, what are you doing with so much energy!" The girl's delicate voice came from behind the cloak, which made Zhang Qing breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was not poisoned.
Then Ah Longyin angrily flipped the cloak over, covering the remaining miasma in the air a little in the cloak, and then glared at Zhang Qing with his cheeks, obviously very dissatisfied with his knife that directly cut the snake into two pieces.
Zhang Qing smiled bitterly, although he was well prepared, but after all, it was the first time he faced this thing, so he really went all out with this knife. As a result, she didn't expect that it was like chopping tofu and cutting off the snake and rope together, and it shook Ah Longyin, which made her almost hit by the miasma.
Although they had long been preparing to obtain a little miasma to study, it was obviously not advisable to test the poison by themselves.
Zhang Qing knew that he was at a loss, so he had to apologize again and again, and made countless promises, which made Ah Longyin angry.
Then the young lady held up the cloak in her hand and asked Zhang Qing to hurry up and catch the two little beasts, she wanted to quickly test the power of the miasma.
What I saw on the first day of Nha Trang: There are few garbage cans on the street and a lot of garbage. The seafood is very fresh, and the service industry basically knows a few words of Chinese, hot.
