Because the tide had just receded, the ground was slippery, and every step left a footprint.
If I hadn't had a walking stick, I probably would have fallen many times.
As the group ventured deeper into the area, broken tree stumps became visible everywhere.
The vegetation, bent and scattered by the flood, also formed a messy landscape.
The mixture of stones and soil made the ground very uneven.
They thought this was the biggest obstacle in their path, but they stopped shortly afterward…
At this moment, the group was in a wide-open area of lush vegetation...
Because of the floods, these plants are now no taller than their knees.
About ten meters away in front of them, two large snakes with different patterns, but both at least as thick as an adult's arm, were intertwined.
One of them was black and gray, with faint red markings on the sides of its head. It was about the thickness of a human calf.
The other one was gray and white, and although it was smaller, it chased after the large snake and bit it...
Ye Feng frowned slightly, then quietly took two steps forward. Upon closer inspection, he discovered…
The large snake was a juvenile anaconda, while the other was the nemesis of snakes, the greatest king among venomous snakes…
King cobra…
Many people also call it the mountain peak snake. This snake is the natural enemy of most other snakes and has a huge amount of venom.
Most other venomous snakes generally do not exceed 50 milligrams.
This type of snake can release hundreds of milligrams of venom in a single attack, making it one of the most venomous snakes in the world.
Moreover, it is a mixed toxin affecting both nerves and cells, and the person bitten will show symptoms within ten minutes.
From initial numbness and fever to eventual multiple organ failure…
At this moment, Ye Feng was extremely excited. He quickly took off his backpack and prepared to step forward...
Liu Sisi quickly stopped her...
"Brother Feng, are you alright? Eating king cobra meat can be fatal! Its blood contains neurotoxins!"
Fu Changxiong immediately added:
"That's right, that's right. A hunter from my hometown once caught this kind of snake."
It was even smaller than this snake. They ate it on the same day and then emptied the scum. They started another feast on the third day.
Even the hospital couldn't save him!
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at them...
"How could I not know something that you two both know? First of all, I don't plan to eat it for the time being."
Secondly, while eating this snake's blood may cause poisoning, it doesn't guarantee poisoning unless a large quantity is consumed.
Finally, since you all know its blood is poisonous, why don't we just drain the blood, wash it thoroughly, and then eat it?
The two were taken aback; it did seem to make sense...
Qi Xiaoyan then said:
"Why don't you just shoot it with an arrow? Catching it with your hands is too dangerous..."
Ignoring everything else, Ye Feng took off his backpack and picked up his walking stick...
"You all don't understand, this kind of snake is extremely rare, and every part of it is a treasure."
Snake skin can be peeled off to make pockets or knife sheaths, and cooked snake meat and gallbladders can dispel dampness.
Didn't you guys say lately that you've been having itchy skin, small blisters, dizziness, and blurred vision?
That means there's too much dampness in the body; this stuff can cure that.
And what I want most is the venom from its mouth.
These words seemed to resonate with everyone present. Indeed, the Amazon is a rainforest, and even the air is humid.
They had stayed there for too long and drifted on the water for several days; everyone's tongue was yellow and had teeth marks on it.
This is a sign of high humidity...
"Brother Feng, let me help you..."
Liu Sisi seemed unafraid and was about to step forward, but Ye Feng stopped her...
"Don't move! I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it down. Be careful not to scare it away."
As he spoke, he slowly beckoned to Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie…
"Da Xiong, Little Stutterer, use the stick to pin its head down, I'll catch it."
"good!"
The two responded, and after discussing for a moment, the three of them gradually surrounded the two large snakes.
The python was now motionless, with only its body still wriggling, clearly having been poisoned to death.
As the three approached, the king cobra seemed to sense them as well.
It quickly released its mouth, flicked its tongue twice, and then stood up halfway towards Ye Feng.
At the same time, its standard glasses back also unfolded instantly.
It also made a faint hissing sound.
Ye Feng quickly shrank back. He knew that this was a cobra's threatening tactic and an offensive posture.
It was clearly a warning to Ye Feng not to get close...
Ye Feng didn't intend to make any moves at this time, and waved to Fu Changxiong and the other man.
The two immediately understood and quickly circled around to the snake's back.
After exchanging a glance, the two men simultaneously stretched out their sticks and shoved its head directly into the mud.
The cobra's tail began to struggle, and Ye Feng seized the opportunity to run up to it.
He stepped on its body, found its neck, and immediately gripped it tightly.
"It's alright now... Sisi, quickly take out the small wooden jar and the gauze that Daxiong changed out of from my bag."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi immediately found a wooden jar about the size of a medicine bottle and handed it to him along with the gauze.
Ye Feng was quite excited after receiving the wooden jar…
This was the first time he had ever done something like collecting venom, especially king cobra venom.
This is hailed as liquid gold... a single gram of this poison can cost several thousand dollars.
He is now surrounded by enemies. If he relies solely on his composite bow and misses, merely piercing the skin, the enemy may not necessarily die.
However, once you get infected with this snake venom, there is absolutely no chance of survival in the jungle.
He originally intended to catch some poison dart frogs to make poison arrows.
However, the floodwaters have not yet receded, making poison dart frogs extremely difficult to find. Moreover, the poison of poison dart frogs will evaporate after being exposed to the air for a few days.
He couldn't possibly carry it with him all the time, so after thinking it over, the only thing he could readily use was snake venom...
Especially the venom of the king cobra, which is both plentiful and highly toxic…
If you encounter danger, or if someone is about to launch a sneak attack, just a tiny bit of this substance will stick to you and, if it even scratches the skin, will be fatal.
Soon, following Ye Feng's instructions, Fu Changxiong sealed the hole in the wooden jar with gauze.
Ye Feng held the snake's head and aimed it directly at the edge of the jar.
At this moment, the restrained king cobra was at its most agitated; it didn't care what was in front of it and opened its mouth to bite...
The sharp fangs immediately pierced through the gauze, and Ye Feng could vaguely see them.
The pale yellow venom was slowly flowing down the side of the jar…
"As expected of a king cobra, its venom output is indeed enormous."
It's a pity, I wish there were a few more.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong suddenly had a flash of inspiration…
"We can raise him first! Then we can drag him out and take him later. Wouldn't that be a perpetual motion machine?"
"Um?…"
Ye Feng glanced at him sideways; this method did seem to work...
Perfect timing! They still had six empty backpacks, which they could use to carry the snakes.
