The beach was surrounded by dense forest, and with snakes lurking around, they had no choice but to retreat back to the beach. They also decided not to stay in the micro-world that night, as they didn't know if the snakes would come to the beach then.
However, the snake meat feast at dinner was quite good.
Only the fangs on the head of the snake are venomous; the rest of the snake can be eaten after removing the internal organs. Not only can it be eaten, but it is also quite delicious.
The venom of most venomous snakes is contained in their fangs, which have ducts connecting to venom glands that secrete the venom. Generally, snake blood and internal organs are non-venomous, as are snake gallbladders, snake meat, and snake skin.
A small number of snakes store a small amount of venom in their necks, but eating them won't kill you. Besides, Jack is there; he knows whether it's safe to eat them or not.
For dinner, the four of them ate ten roasted snakes, each with a bowl of snake soup and stir-fried snake meat with onions. The onions were found on the island of ten thousand snakes, and they brought all the seasonings with them.
Although they ate snake meat, they didn't get tired of it at all because they didn't eat snake meat often, and it was very delicious.
After finishing dinner, it was almost dark. They lit a fire and prepared to leave the micro-world.
"etc."
Chen Yang suddenly stared intently in one direction.
"What, is there a snake?" Ding Qihan asked.
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "It's not a snake, it's a big guy. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Komodo dragon."
The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor lizard or the Komodo dragon, is the largest known lizard in the world. It is extremely ferocious and adults will even eat their young.
Although Komodo dragons primarily feed on carrion, they occasionally attack humans and are already an endangered species in the real world, subject to strict protection.
Komodo dragons average 2-3 meters in length, have an amazing bite force, and move very quickly.
"Do you want to quit or wait and see? If you want to quit, I'll protect you," Chen Yang said.
“Nonsense, of course I’ll stay and watch,” Ding Qihan replied.
Neither Dong Yujue nor Jack said anything, but their excited expressions told you the answer.
“There are three approaching us. Everyone, take a torch,” Chen Yang said.
Although Komodo dragons exhibit some nocturnal behavior, they are also active during the day and are not as afraid of fire or light as people imagine; otherwise, they wouldn't gather together.
However, using fire to deal with animals is a universal tactic that can be used anywhere.
As they picked up their torches, Chen Yang saw even more Komodo dragons gathering around.
Chen Yang knew about Komodo dragons when he was in college. He knew that Komodo dragons only gather together when they are breeding and feeding, and that their hunting time should be in the afternoon, but now it is past their hunting time.
"They were probably attracted by the snakes when we were processing the snake meat," Chen Yang thought.
There's no need to delve into the reasons; the most pressing issue to address now is the Komodo dragons right in front of us.
Komodo dragons appeared from all directions, with at least twenty or thirty visible to the naked eye.
"What a weird island this is, it's actually good for making movies," Ding Qihan complained.
“Nothing is impossible in the micro-world. Let’s think about how to deal with the Komodo dragons first. Chen Yang probably can’t take care of us,” Jack said.
If they all back down, Chen Yang will be absolutely fine on his own. He can defeat all the Komodo dragons by himself, and sometimes defeating them is much harder than killing them.
To Chen Yang, they were a complete burden, but they also believed in Chen Yang's abilities. With Chen Yang's strength, even with them as a burden, dealing with the Komodo dragons would not be a problem.
Chen Yang was also prepared and drew the longsword he had personally crafted.
The sword hasn't been used yet. The reason Chen Yang brought it with him on this trip was simply because he felt it was a waste to leave it lying around, and he wanted to see if there was any chance to use it.
Now, against the giant lizard, a sword was clearly more practical than fists and throwing knives, so he decisively drew his greatsword. He was happy that he finally had a day when he could use it.
"Chen Yang, I'll handle the left side. You take care of the right side and the front. Jack, you and Ding Qihan just need to make sure you don't get hurt," Dong Yujue said.
"Let's get one or two out of them; they need to be trained a bit," Ding Qihan said.
Dong Yujue hesitated for a moment, but Chen Yang nodded directly and said, "No problem, I'll use my throwing knives to cover for you."
Since Chen Yang had said so, Dong Yujue had no objections. She took out the two sticks from her back, joined them together, and with a gentle twist and pull, the sticks were locked together into one long stick.
Dong Yujue's stick is a weapon design provided by a player of the game "Micro World". It is very practical and uses a unique mortise and tenon structure.
During the short time they were talking, the monitor lizards, who had been hesitating about whether to approach, finally lost their patience. Several of them pounced first, followed closely by the others, who swarmed forward.
Chen Yang raised his hand and threw two throwing knives. One pierced the forehead of a Komodo dragon, while the other was dodged by another dragon. In the darkness, Chen Yang's aim was somewhat lacking. Moreover, the Komodo dragon had only survived by stepping on a seashell and being cunning.
Chen Yang threw out the torch, stepped forward with his sword, and used the blade to knock away a giant lizard, then cut off the tail of another giant lizard with another stroke.
Meanwhile, Dong Yujue's shadowy figure moved swiftly, and the Komodo dragons around her couldn't get close. With her back against the fire, she wasn't afraid of being surrounded, so she became bolder and hit the dragons with her stick, making them scream in pain.
Jack and Ding Qihan each faced one Komodo dragon at a time. Jack fared relatively well, managing to wound one with an axe. Ding Qihan, on the other hand, was using a torch to fight off the Komodo dragon and was temporarily unharmed.
They weren't actually too worried, which is why they chose to stay in the micro-world and face the Komodo dragons directly. After all, it was a rare experience that no one wanted to miss.
Chen Yang's side was almost completely dominated. He slaughtered the Komodo dragons without leaving a single one alive. In just over a minute, all the Komodo dragons he was responsible for blocking retreated, leaving behind three corpses. There should have been four, but they dragged one away with them as they retreated, probably to eat it.
On Dong Yujue's side, she also had the upper hand. After the Komodo dragons in Chen Yang's direction retreated, the Komodo dragons she was facing also began to retreat and soon fled.
The Komodo dragons that Jack and Ding Qihan were facing also ran away.
Chen Yang and his team were worried. They still had to stay up all night to process the ingredients and smoked meat. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave them unprocessed. They had originally wanted to quit, but now they could only take turns on duty, make more fires, smoke the meat, and also drive away snakes and other animals.
