The harpy eagle is nicknamed the monkey-eating eagle, and its favorite food is naturally monkeys.
However, Ye Feng would never be willing to feed Mao Mao and Da Wang to the eagles.
He now needs to find snakes, because snake meat is also a favorite of harpy eagles.
In the Amazon, snakes are probably the most numerous venomous insects besides mosquitoes.
Moreover, this place is close to the waterfall's source, which is also a favorite habitat and hunting ground for snakes, so it is not difficult to find them.
But in order not to alert the enemy, Ye Feng still moved his feet stealthily.
The people behind him were quite puzzled, and Zhan Pengfei couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Feng, what are you looking for?"
"Shh!"
Ye Feng quickly made a shushing gesture.
"I want to fish for eagles. You guys need to find me a snake, any kind will do, preferably alive."
"Fishing... for an eagle?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances...
I've heard of fishing for fish and shrimp, but fishing for eagles is definitely a niche term.
However, they seem to have gotten used to Ye Feng's unconventional thinking and the many new words he invented.
They scattered and began searching the surrounding area...
Just as Ye Feng had expected, the process did not take long.
Less than half an hour later, Liu Sisi's voice could be heard from not far away.
"Hey! Brother Feng, come quick! There's a big guy here! Quick! It's going to run away!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng quickly ran over.
Before I even got close, I saw Liu Sisi holding a stick and poking at a large, coffee-spotted snake.
As Ye Feng approached, he realized that this was an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.
Gabonese viper —
In terms of size, it ranks among the top three of all venomous snakes in the world.
The largest Gaboon viper is said to weigh 20 kilograms or more.
The thickest part of the snake's body is as big as an adult male's calf.
Moreover, it is not only enormous in size, but its venom output is also comparable to that of the king cobra.
On average, they release over 600 milligrams of venom. Their fangs can reach up to 7 centimeters in length, making them the longest venomous snakes.
Its venom is a triad of toxins, primarily composed of potent blood toxins and neurotoxins.
Cytotoxins account for a small portion…
Once a human is bitten, the wound will swell within 3 minutes.
The toxins rapidly devour blood cells, causing intense pain, described as feeling like your hand being clamped in pliers.
If serum is not obtained within an hour, the entire body will experience extensive subcutaneous bleeding and blackening, along with muscle ulceration and necrosis. Ultimately, the body will dissolve into a bloody mass and die.
Although it doesn't work as quickly as the venom of the Amazonian giant viper, it undoubtedly increases the suffering of humans who don't receive treatment.
This snake is mainly distributed in Africa, but its habitats overlap considerably, so there are also many in the Amazon.
"Well done, Sisi!"
Ye Feng was overjoyed and waved to Liu Sisi, signaling her to step back.
"Go and call Da Xiong and Xiao Jieba over here quickly."
"oh!"
After Liu Sisi left, Ye Feng began circling the snake, his face full of an undisguised lecherous smile.
This Gabonese viper was even bigger than the first one he had encountered.
At this moment, the Gabonese viper had coiled up in a circle, assuming a standard snake attack posture.
It looks like a huge pile of feces.
Its pattern blends perfectly with the fallen leaves on the ground, making it difficult to spot unless you look closely.
This is how they ambush small animals that are passing by.
"Sizzle!"
Just as Ye Feng was about to tease it with the stick, the snake launched an attack.
He was so startled he almost stumbled, but instead of being angry, he was delighted…
"Oh, good, good, you're really eager to attack. Looks like you have a lot of supplies."
Just then, Fu Changxiong and his group arrived.
They were also startled when they saw the Gabonese viper.
"Wow! Is that...is that a giant viper?"
"So...so fat."
Ye Feng stared intently at the snake's eyes, his lecherous smile growing even wider.
"It's not a giant viper, it's a Gaboon viper, but it has a much larger venom output than a giant viper. Let's get to work."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie raised their walking sticks. They had caught many venomous snakes with Ye Feng and were considered veterans.
The two moved behind the snake and just touched its body with the stick.
"Sizzle!"
The snake turned around and bit Fu Changxiong's stick.
That sounded like an angry kitten…
The Gabonese viper kept flicking its tongue, its rhomboid brown eyes fixed on the two of them.
Even though you can't see its expression, you can still feel its anger.
But this didn't help...
Ye Feng seized the opportunity, stretched out his stick, and lifted the snake's body into the air before it crashed to the ground.
The Gaboon viper's cross-legged posture was disrupted, and its head, hidden within its body, peeked out.
"quick!"
At Ye Feng's command, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie immediately pinned the snake's head down with their sticks.
The snake's body began to coil around the two men's sticks, and they instantly felt a powerful force emanating from the sticks.
This snake seemed to be slightly stronger than the giant viper; its head even swayed slightly under the pressure of the two men.
Ye Feng immediately stepped forward, stomped on his head, and grabbed his neck.
"Ha ha!"
He couldn't wait to take out the jar containing snake venom and hold it to the snake's mouth.
Fueled by rage, the Gabonese viper acted with almost no hesitation.
The sharp fangs pierced through the gauze, and white venom spurted out.
"Sizzle!..."
That's right, it's spraying out...
It's like turning a tap on low and then plugging it with your finger, leaving only a tiny gap.
The process of extracting the venom lasted a full half minute. In the end, the snake was completely drained, with not a single drop left.
Ye Feng quickly checked the venom in the jar; it was swaying and had already submerged the bottom of the bottle.
"Wow!..."
He exclaimed in surprise, estimating that the amount of venom on his hand was around 1000 milligrams.
There were even more than the Gabonese viper from last time.
This far exceeds the average venom output of this type of snake.
It has been documented in literature that all animals evolve according to their environment.
The reason for this situation is probably due to the harsh environment in the rainforest…
Therefore, the Gaboon viper here has evolved larger venom glands and a larger venom storage capacity.
Ye Feng closed the lid with satisfaction, then used both hands to weigh the snake.
It weighs about 25 kilograms...
"Good heavens, is this a Gaboon viper? How did you get it big and fat?"
Zhan Pengwu and Tang Weiwei had appeared behind him without him noticing.
Moreover, they were each holding a snake in their hands.
Ye Feng glanced at them and saw two armored vipers…
"Your results are quite good too. It seems you've found the bait."
Tang Weiwei waved the snake in her hand with disdain. Most venomous snakes in the jungle have an unpleasant stench, which is a way for them to protect themselves.
