Ah Huang didn't rush to attack. It stood still, staring at the cobra, pacing back and forth quietly. It knew how threatening this creature was; the venom from its teeth could kill it. It couldn't afford to be careless.

The cobra, being stared at by Ah Huang, flicked its tongue and confronted Ah Huang. After a moment, it began to wriggle its body, preparing to leave. It knew that such a large creature was beyond its ability to handle. Even if it managed to kill the creature with its venom, it would not be able to make such a huge thing its food.

Most battles in the jungle are for food or mates; other battles are meaningless. The cobra didn't want to take such a risk, so it chose to leave.

The moment the cobra turned around, Ah Huang suddenly sprang into action. Having finally found its prey, it was determined not to let it escape.

It forcefully nudged the cobra's body with its forelimbs, and the cobra turned to bite Ah Huang. Ah Huang jumped and dodged the cobra's teeth. The cobra did not continue to attack, but instead used the space Ah Huang had to dodge to accelerate its escape.

However, Ah Huang had already regained its speed. It rushed forward and once again pinned the cobra's body down with its forelimbs.

Ah Huang's forelimbs were like nails, pinning the cobra to the spot. The cobra angrily turned its head, flicking its tongue to attack Ah Huang's forelegs. Ah Huang dodged the cobra's teeth once again, and launched an attack the instant after dodging, biting at the cobra's neck.

The cobra was startled by Ah Huang's attack. It shrank its head and then attacked again, but Ah Huang had already raised its other claw and was swatting at its head.

The cobra had no choice; its head couldn't withstand the attack of such a large claw. It could only retract its head again, and in that instant, Ah Huang's teeth landed accurately on its neck.

After Ah Huang landed a hit, it began to shake wildly. It knew that to deal with such a creature, it had to use violent shaking to stun it and render it unable to fight.

However, this cobra was not a novice; it was quite old and knew how to protect itself.

The moment Ah Huang grabbed its neck, it began to twist its long body, and then quickly wrapped around Ah Huang's mouth and nose, like a gag that tightly covered Ah Huang's mouth.

The snake's body can exert tremendous force as it wriggles. The cobra frantically used its unique body structure to apply enormous pressure to Ah Huang's mouth and nose, hoping that this pressure would force Ah Huang to open its mouth.

Ah Huang certainly didn't expect the cobra to retaliate like that, otherwise it wouldn't have let go of its forepaws that were holding the cobra's body.

But life is a journey without "what ifs," and in battle, there are no chances to regret or start over. Ah Huang's mouth was tightly bound by the cobra's body, and the binding force was intensifying.

Ah Huang had its jaws firmly locked around the cobra's neck, its teeth even piercing the cobra's body. However, its mouth was unable to move, and without being able to move, it was unable to bite off the cobra's neck and end its life.

It even had difficulty breathing because its mouth was tightly closed. The oxygen it inhaled through its nostrils was not enough to meet the needs of its entire body. But Ah Huang could not loosen its mouth. It knew that once it released the snake, the cobra's teeth would definitely pierce its body in the next instant.

Its teeth are not a threat, but the venom inside them will surely kill it.

Ah Huang became anxious. Its breathing became increasingly difficult, and it began to feel desolate. It had not lost to the boar and the leopard, but would it die under the body of this snake?

The oxygen-deprived Ah Huang had stopped shaking. It crouched in place and began trying to use its claws to break open the cobra's body, but the angle prevented its claws from exerting force, making the rescue futile.

Ah Huang's situation was already very critical, but it still persisted without giving in. It still had one hope: as long as it held on until Chen Chongshan arrived, everything would no longer be a problem.

Chen Chongshan finally arrived at the scene just before Ah Huang fainted, and the sight before him startled him.

Ah Huang's body was swaying, which made Chen Chongshan think it had been poisoned by a snake. Chen Chongshan grabbed the snake's head with one hand, and then quickly pulled the cobra's body off Ah Huang's mouth, and put the big snake into a nylon bag.

Freed from its restraints, Ah Huang gasped for breath with its mouth wide open. Chen Chongshan tossed the nylon bag aside and nervously began to examine Ah Huang's body.

However, after carefully checking twice, he still couldn't find any wounds, and after Ah Huang's body was given oxygen again, he became energetic again.

Chen Chongshan realized that Ah Huang was not injured, patted Ah Huang a few times, and laughed, "Goodness, you're not hurt."

"Alright, Ah Huang, let's go back. With this snake, the trip wasn't in vain."

Chen Chongshan called out to Ah Huang, then picked up the nylon bag next to him and weighed it in his hand: "This thing probably weighs three or four pounds. Let's eat it ourselves tonight, kill a chicken and make soup to nourish Chongming. We won't send it to Lao Qin's place."

"Awoo, awoo..."

Ah Huang seemed to understand Chen Chongshan's words and barked excitedly a few times. Chen Chongshan was a very good cook, and Ah Huang never missed a meal when he made something delicious.

Often, it plays a role in this family that is not just a dog, but a person, another brother of Chen Chongshan.

…………

When Ah Huang came out, it was riding on Chen Chongshan's motorcycle. On the way back, it took the initiative to run alongside him. Its speed was still as agile and fast as ever. Chen Chongshan was quite excited and full of confidence for the battle three days later.

These days, Chen Chongshan has been cramming on knowledge about fierce dogs and fighting dogs in gathering places for fierce dog enthusiasts, such as fierce dog forums and online communities.

He also learned that Central Asian Shepherds have a significant advantage when fighting smaller, more powerful dogs such as Cane Corsos, Canary Mastiffs, and Tosa Inu. Unless there are exceptional individual fights, Central Asian Shepherds have a very large advantage in ordinary, equal-sized matches.

This information gave Chen Chongshan even more confidence. Tosa Gunpla was an excellent individual, but Ah Huang was no ordinary Central Asian. It was far superior to most Central Asians, and its endurance and strength were beyond imagination.

The man and the dog arrived home quickly. Chen Chongshan set up the motorcycle in the yard and then called into the house, "Chongming, Chongming, Ah Huang caught another snake today. Go and call the chickens. I'll catch one and kill it. I'll make you a dragon and phoenix soup tonight."

"I haven't eaten snake meat in a long time, I'm really craving it."

Chen Chongshan muttered to himself as he took the nylon bag containing the cobra off the motorcycle.

Hearing the shouts, Chen Chongming wheeled himself out of the house. He was very excited when he saw the snake in Chen Chongshan's hand. He immediately turned around, wheeled himself back into the house, grabbed a handful of rice meant for feeding the chickens, and prepared to go to the side of the yard to call the chickens.

As they walked, he said, "Brother, we'll catch that black hen with the tall comb later. She's so disobedient. She always flies into the vegetable garden to steal vegetables and doesn't lay many eggs. She just stays in the nest (dialect, meaning to incubate chicks) after laying only a few."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Call it over here, and I'll catch it."

Chen Chongshan said with a smile that Chen Chongming's mood was much better than before after returning from Tanzhou.

He used to always say he was fine, but in fact, his legs had always been a heavy burden on his heart. This trip to Tanzhou removed half of that burden, and he naturally felt much more relaxed.

Putting aside whether we can raise the money, at least there is hope for a cure for my illness.

The two brothers were happily preparing for a sumptuous dinner when suddenly a shout rang out from outside the yard…

"Chen Chongshan!"

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Chongshan stopped catching the chicken and froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
