His injured left hand was bitten by the giant jaws of the anaconda, and a snapping sound came from it, but fortunately it was not the sound of his bones breaking.
Although his left hand was still tightly gripped in the anaconda's mouth, it was currently unharmed except for the inability to break free. This was mainly thanks to the wooden sticks tied around his hand; the snapping sound just now must have been from one of the sticks being bitten off.
If his hand had been bitten like that, he would probably have turned into Yang Guo (a character from a Chinese folktale known for his tragic fate).
After being pushed by her father, Naituan rolled to the ground. The force of the fall made her knees and palms sting. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, but she hadn't forgotten what she needed to do: get the axe for her father.
At this moment, Li Sheng's vision began to blur, and a powerful feeling of suffocation washed over him. He felt as if his internal organs were about to be squeezed and burst by the giant snake.
Just then, a soft, choked voice, full of hope, came from the darkness: "Daddy, the axe, Daddy, get the axe."
Milkball, holding an axe, mustered his courage and approached the giant snake. Fortunately, the snake had its mouth biting Li Sheng's left hand and its body wrapped around him, so it had no time to deal with the other small creature.
Most importantly, the anaconda thought that this baby creature would not pose any threat to it, but it was very wrong. Li Sheng felt that the baby's voice was getting farther and farther away from him. His body became cold because his blood circulation was blocked. The baby became even more anxious when it could not call for its father.
The giant snake is about to kill my father.
She had to think of a way. She couldn't hurt the giant snake, but she could with the axe in her hand, even though she wasn't very strong.
But at this moment, there was no time to be afraid or think too much. She remembered her father telling her that to kill a snake, you had to strike its seven-inch spot, which is the snake's heart. No matter how big the snake was, it was still a snake.
As she strained to wake her father, she mustered all her strength and swung the large axe, using the moonlight streaming in, to chop at the snake's vital spot.
The sound of an axe scraping against scales sent chills down one's spine. Even though a snake's armor was incredibly hard, it was still slightly outmatched by weapons made by humans. The snake, in pain, opened its mouth and made a sound.
Tears streaming down her face, the little girl continued to shout loudly, "Daddy~".
Li Sheng was also making a final struggle, but he simply couldn't open his mouth to respond. The air inside his body had run out. Just as the giant snake was in pain, the upper half of its coils around Li Sheng suddenly loosened.
He immediately felt much better and shouted, "Give me the axe, get out of here!"
Without hesitation, Naituan quickly handed the axe to her father. This time, Li Sheng finally got the axe in his right hand. The anaconda, enraged by its injury, swung its huge tail at Naituan, who couldn't avoid it this time.
Fortunately, Li Sheng had taught Naituan many dodging techniques. Although she was very young and too much physical training was not suitable and would affect her development, she had not missed any of the technical training, so she was very agile. Even when she couldn't avoid it, Naituan quickly protected her vital parts.
She tried to curl herself up as much as possible. The snake's tail swept her several meters away. Her body ached terribly, but she didn't hesitate to quickly open the door and escape. She remembered her father's words: never put yourself in danger. Only when she left the danger zone could her father unleash his full power without any worries.
Seeing that the milk ball had left, Li Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the anaconda became extremely ferocious, opening its massive jaws to bite Li Sheng. As the jaws came at him, Li Sheng instinctively swung his axe. The jaws were likely one of its weaknesses, and the anaconda was in pain again, struggling agonizingly, its grip so tight it felt like his bones were about to break.
After the axe struck, the snake closed its mouth. He tried to pull the axe out, but it was no use; the axe was stuck in the snake's mouth. The snake then shook its head, and the axe flew out of its hand.
Damn it!!!
However, after Naituan was out of danger, his mind cleared up a lot. No matter how big the anaconda was, it was still a snake. You have to strike the snake where it hurts. Now he was unarmed and he was trapped by the snake and couldn't move. If he didn't hurry, he would die.
He only had one way out, and he had to try no matter what.
We can no longer place our hopes on external things.
Based on the anaconda's length, Li Sheng estimated the location of its heart, noting that snakes, being reptiles, have hearts that differ from those of mammals.
In mammals, the chest cavity provides cushioning when the heart is struck. However, snakes, as reptiles, do not have a chest cavity. Therefore, when the heart is struck, it is protected only by a layer of skin, fat, and muscle, without bones, making it the most vulnerable part of the snake's body.
Even so, Li Sheng was still not confident. This snake was so big that he couldn't break through its outermost layer of skin, and its thick muscles made it even more difficult to damage the heart.
But even so, he had no other way to go.
Make a fist with your right hand and pound it into the snake's heart with all your might, thud!
Li Sheng felt as if his fist was about to be shattered. He felt liquid flowing out of his fist, which was his blood. He had difficulty breathing. Such a strenuous movement required a great deal of oxygen. After the punch, the feeling of suffocation became even stronger.
But at that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to swing his fist and smash it, to smash it with all his might, to smash it to death, so that he might have a chance to survive.
He punched and punched with all his might, and the anaconda visibly became more and more painful. Its body twisted in the cramped space of the shelter, and its head would hit the shelter wall from time to time, creating a chaotic scene.
But as the sounds of these impacts receded further and further away from Li Sheng, he felt as if his soul had left his body, yet his right hand continued to swing punches.
The entire right arm seemed to be enchanted, turning bright red due to blood engorgement, and the fibrous texture of the muscles protruding beneath the skin was clearly visible.
Filled with unparalleled power, his body's adrenaline surged to its limit in his struggle for even the slightest chance of survival. Both Li Sheng's consciousness and his body wanted to live; survival is the most basic human instinct.
But he was nearing his end. In his final moments, his body released its last bit of adrenaline, unleashing a burst of strength. With a loud shout, he punched his fist hard into his heart.
Bang!
This was his last struggle, and he fainted at that moment. In his last moments, he seemed to breathe fresh air and even saw the shadow of Milk Ball at the door.
He seems to have won; the milk caravan is out of danger, and his daughter's knight hasn't failed in his duty...
Consciousness faded and darkness descended...
