Chapter 264: Snake Prevention
Zhang Moyu's words were not a consolation, but a fact.
It is difficult to completely get rid of these snakes, but if you want to get rid of them before they gather, you can still do it by relying on divination and direction calculation.
The fact was just as Zhang Moyu said. After fifteen minutes, the few people obviously found that there were fewer snakes spying on them.
After completely getting rid of the snakes' surveillance, Zhang Moyu and a few others found a flat, open area suitable for setting up camp, and prepared to set up camp here and rest for a night.
There was a small mud puddle not far from the open space. While others were setting up tents, collecting firewood, and preparing to make a fire to cook, Zhang Moyu stared at the mud puddle with a thoughtful look on his face.
He had long noticed that there was a "little clay figure" following their team, who was Dingzhu Zhuoma's daughter-in-law. Since he did not sense any ill will, he ignored it.
That person followed all the way here and didn't seem to be attacked by the snakes. Was it because the swamp mud on his body covered up his scent?
The pheasant necks here are extremely sensitive to strangers, and perhaps because of the influence of the dragon snake, they are not afraid of people like them who have blood shock. If they can't find a solution as soon as possible, they will sooner or later be entangled by the group of snakes.
Now, the easiest way for them to do so is to use the silt.
After making up his mind, Zhang Moyu calmly went to Fatty Wang and Zhang Ruiping to help with cooking.
Although the small kitchen in the RV is no longer there, their dinner is still very rich.
Because their operation this time was not rushed and they had plenty of time to cook, so green peppers, which were Hei Xia Zi's "love of life and death", were naturally carried with him.
They stir-fried a dish with green peppers and Chinese sausage, and also had braised snake slices seasoned with Lao Gan Ma. Wu Xie and Nan Xihe also took out a few packets of braised food and snacks like Drunkard Peanuts as side dishes.
The staple food is egg drop noodle soup, but the ingredients are a bit strange.
Eggs are fragile, so the uneaten eggs they brought with them were stored in the small refrigerator in the RV and not brought with them.
The egg drops for this meal were made with snake eggs picked up by Zhang Qiling, Zhang Haishe and Hei Xiazi.
Because of someone's poor cooking skills, Fatty Wang and Wuxie, who had stomach poisoning and had diarrhea all night, refused to eat snake eggs when they discussed it.
They suddenly realized that the Zhang family was too unrefined. Why did they eat everything?
You dare to put any snake eggs you pick up into the pot? What if they are eggs laid by a poisonous snake?
Maybe it's like once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years. Now Wuxie and the others always feel that if they don't pay attention, Zhang Ruiping will put something that ordinary people can't tolerate into the food.
Then, they were the ones who were knocked down...
It was Jie Yuchen, Zhang Moyu and Pan Zi who took turns to repeatedly emphasize that no matter whether the snake was poisonous or non-venomous, the snake eggs born were non-venomous. Only then did the two of them give in.
Although they still felt a little uncomfortable eating it, as soon as they thought about what they said about snake eggs being nutritious and rich in various amino acids, which can nourish the skin, enhance the vitality of brain cells, and relieve mental fatigue, the resistance in their hearts disappeared.
Hmm...it smells so good!
After everyone finished eating, Fatty Wang called Pan Zi to help clean up the dishes.
Zhang Moyu looked at the dim sky, stood up and said to the others.
"Those pheasant necks are very sensitive to the scent of strangers. If we don't take some protective measures, they might come to us in the middle of the night."
"There are quite a lot of them. If they really gather together to launch a surprise attack at night, I think they can even crush our tent. What do you think, Mr. Mo?"
Hei Xiazi asked casually.
The light in the rainforest was not very bright. He looked into the distance, which was much farther than that of others. Naturally, he saw the dense group of pheasant necks that had tried to gather in front of them and prepare to ambush them.
The number was so large that his scalp tingled just by looking at it from afar.
"They are much smarter than ordinary snakes. When they see us, they will call their friends and even set up simple ambushes.
But snakes have poor eyesight, and rely more on scent to find us, so all we have to do is mask our scent."
Speaking of the somewhat mysterious word "breath", Wuxie instantly became excited.
Subconsciously, he reached out and rubbed the Qilin Breath-Resisting Jade Pendant on his neck. The effect of this thing seemed to be what Brother Mo wanted. Could it be that...
Thinking of the pattern on the jade pendant that looked like an array formation and some mysterious text, Wuxie's eyes sparkled and he spoke with great interest.
"Brother Mo, are you finally going to perform some magic? Or are you going to set up a formation?"
Wuxie felt that if such a small pattern on the jade token could have a huge effect on him, then if Zhang Moyu drew a bigger one by himself, it would definitely be even more powerful!
Although Wuxie had several experiences of visiting tombs and seen the bizarre things inside, he had long known that this world was not very scientific, but he had not seen many serious metaphysical methods.
Zhang Moyu seldom takes action. Not to mention Wuxie, even Zhang Qiling has never seen Zhang Moyu use serious metaphysical methods.
"What are you thinking? Setting up a formation... Formations require a lot of preparation, and the materials are picky. How can it be that simple?"
Zhang Moyu looked at Wuxie speechlessly. This was a typical case of an outsider watching the fun. In this Dharma-Ending Age, the spiritual power required to set up an array formation would be drained away in minutes. He would only do that if he was crazy.
“The concealing breath I mentioned depends on that!
Everyone go get some later and apply it on the tent to repel snakes."
Zhang Moyu pointed to the mud puddle at the edge of the clearing. Several people looked over at the same time, and then their expressions changed.
People like Pan Zi and An Ning don't care. As long as it works, they don't care if it's dirty. They wouldn't say a word even if it was smeared on their bodies, let alone on the tent.
Fatty Wang and Wuxie had some complaints, but in order to spend a peaceful night, they could barely accept it.
Xie Yuchen's face turned pale and then black, black and then pale. He could smell a faint fishy odor from a distance, and he felt that he could not accept it.
"Is there no other way?"
Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Moyu expectantly, but saw that he just smiled without saying anything. Then Xie Yuchen looked at Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling, the knowledgeable people in the team, without giving up.
Zhang Qiling calmly shook his head without thinking, while Hei Xiazi came up to him with a smile, put his arm around his shoulder, and made a small suggestion.
"Master Huaer, don't you just want to avoid being choked by the mud? I, a blind man, have a solution that will satisfy both parties~"
