The purpose of verbal stimulation is to make Yan Hongtao lose his calmness. When people lose their calmness, there will be flaws in his actions.
However, Yan Hongtao has lived for such a long time, how could he get angry so easily? Even if he was angry, he was suppressing it at this moment.
"Young man, do you really think you are invincible with a defensive weapon? Today I will let you know that foreign objects are just foreign objects after all, and only strength is the real foundation."
"Really?" Fang Ming smiled faintly. Since the other party misunderstood, let the misunderstanding go on.
"If I'm not wrong, your defensive weapon should be a passive defense. Regardless of whether it is a one-time use, but if I don't take the initiative to attack you, this weapon should not be effective."
Yan Hongtao had already thought about how to deal with Fang Ming. He unscrewed the faucet on the crutch with his big hand, and then, a snake head crawled out from the joint.
A venomous snake with a triangular head.
Hiss!
The poisonous snake stretched out its head from the joint, and the snake's head spit out. Then the snake's body continued to crawl out and wrap around the crutch. As for the snake's head, it lay quietly in the palm of Yan Hongtao's hand, staring at Fang Ming opposite with a pair of cold-blooded eyes.
"Raising snakes, does this Yan family know how to raise snakes?"
The crowd was in an uproar. Most people were somewhat afraid of ugly, cold-blooded animals like snakes.
"Snake control, I didn't expect him to have this skill."
Compared to the uproar of the onlookers, Elder Qiu and others understood that Yan Hongtao knew how to control snakes, otherwise the snake would not be so obedient after being trapped in the crutches.
Snake control is one of the animal control techniques. It was originally a Taoist technique, but it was later lost for some reason. Later, it was divided into many types, such as those that specialize in controlling snakes and those that control insects.
, and later evolved into a voodoo technique that only existed on the Southern Xinjiang side.
The so-called Gu technique is derived from the oldest animal control technique. After all, many techniques from ancient times have been changed until now. Some have become more powerful due to the wisdom of the predecessors and the improvements of later generations, and some have become more powerful.
It was lost, and later generations pieced it together based on a few records and clues.
Therefore, there is actually no conclusion in the cultivation world as to whether the magic from ancient times or the current magic is more powerful. However, one thing is universally recognized by everyone in the cultivation world. The beast control technique was more powerful in ancient times.
The reason is very simple. In the ancient times, the ancestors of the human race faced the giant beasts of the ancient times, those strange beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. These strange beasts have been lost to this day.
In the face of these strange beasts, the ancestors of the human race were able to create beast-control techniques. You can imagine how powerful this beast-control technique is, so this is generally recognized.
"Sure enough, Yan Hongtao still retains a skill. I have never seen him use this snake control technique, and I have never heard anyone talk about it. Either he has never shown it in front of others, or everyone who has seen it is already dead.
"
The old hunchback sighed slightly. At their age, it is impossible to say that there are any trump cards that are not known to others, because there are countless battles along the way, and all the trump cards have long been known.
Well known.
It is precisely because of this that when they saw the snake crawling out of Yan Hongtao's crutch, several people's eyes were full of fear. It was not that they were afraid of snakes, but they were worried about Yan Hongtao's scheming.
A person can keep a trick for so many years, and his scheming is already terrible.
It is best not to offend such a person. Once offended, you cannot give the other person a chance to stand up, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Although Fang Ming didn't know that Yan Hongtao had never used this trump card before in the ring, he could only tell from the reactions of the people below that Yan Hongtao had never used this trick before. In other words, Yan Hongtao had no idea about this snake
Very confident.
Fang Ming's eyes fell on the snake. The snake gave him an extremely cold and dangerous feeling, which made him sure that the snake was not just poisonous.
"My baby, I have raised you for twenty years, and now it's time for you to show up."
Yan Hongtao touched the snake's head, and then slapped it with his palm. The venomous snake slowly slid off the crutch, landed on the ground, and then crawled towards Fang Ming in a very strange way.
Ordinary snakes glide, that is to say, in a line, but this snake slid one or two meters to the left and then one or two meters to the right, and occasionally backed up a few meters. However, in a thirty-meter-long arena, when it slid to Fang Ming
It took a full minute to reach a distance of ten meters.
Fang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing the snake's gliding footsteps, he finally knew the origin of the snake.
Phantom snake.
An extremely strange snake. His master once told him that this kind of snake has a special ability, that is, it can cause hallucinations in people, and then when people are trapped in hallucinations, it can attack with venom at close range.
As long as you are bitten, you will die within three seconds. It is extremely poisonous.
As for how to identify a phantom snake, it is also very simple. This kind of snake requires special footwork to make people enter the illusion. It is just like a person setting up an illusory formation, setting up an illusory formation to make people fall deeply into it.
So if you encounter a snake that walks strangely and its slithering position is somewhat similar to that of Qi Men Dun Jia, you can be sure it is a phantom snake.
As for whether it is a phantom snake, it is impossible to tell from its appearance, because the phantom snake is a mutation of a snake, and any venomous snake may mutate into a phantom snake.
Knowing that this was a phantom snake, Fang Ming raised the corner of his mouth because he remembered what he had asked his master.
"Then Master, have you been tricked?"
"Do you know where the snake soup you are eating now comes from?"
…
Fang Ming glanced at Yan Hongtao. He knew where Yan Hongtao's confidence came from. In Yan Hongtao's heart, he had a defensive spiritual weapon. Once he took action, the chaos in his aura might activate the spiritual weapon to defend himself.
, but the attack of the Phantom Snake will not.
This is like a defense radar that can detect the incoming missiles and intercept them, but cannot detect and intercept a flying fly.
The phantom snake kept approaching Fang Ming. When it was three meters away from Fang Ming, Fang Ming still did not move, and even his eyes were still fixed on Yan Hongtao.
"What's going on? This snake is so close to him and it still doesn't react?"
"Yeah, it's like being stupid."
People in the audience also noticed something was wrong with Fang Ming's eyes, as if they were dull.
"What's wrong with Fang Ming?"
Many people in the Chen family also became anxious. The snake was getting closer and closer to Fang Ming, and Chen Xinyi unconsciously clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest.
"I have been cultivating a secret weapon for twenty years. Even in the cultivation world, not many people know the origin of the phantom snake. It must be foolproof this time. However, if it is exposed this time, everyone present will definitely study the phantom snake when they go back. It is a pity.
Already."
Yan Hongtao had a look of regret on his face. He just hoped that the defensive weapon on Fang Ming would not let him down.
The phantom snake was only one meter away from Fang Ming.
call out!
At a distance of one meter, the phantom snake suddenly turned into a beam of light and shot towards Fang Ming. Many people in the crowd below screamed because they saw the poisonous snake heading towards Fang Ming's arm.
It was so fast that it reached Fang Ming's arm in almost the blink of an eye. The snake's mouth suddenly opened, revealing the fangs inside.
This scene made many people chill, and some of the Chen family members were even timid and closed their eyes, while Yan Hongtao also had a determined smile on his face at this moment.
Snap!
A sound came, and there was an exclamation from the crowd. The smile on Yan Hongtao's face froze, and those in the Chen family who had just closed their eyes opened their eyes one after another and saw Fang Ming, who was still standing on the stage.
He looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
Chen Xinyi was also among the Chen family members who closed their eyes, so at this moment, her pretty face also had a look of confusion, and she asked her father beside her: "Dad, what happened."
Chen Daliang did not reply, but pointed to the corner of the ring. Chen Xinyi looked there and became even more confused the next moment.
There, the snake was shaking constantly, its body was broken into two parts, and its head was still open and closed.
What exactly was missed? Was it Fang Ming's fault?
There were only a few people at the scene who saw clearly what happened.
"You...you are not trapped in an illusion."
After a few seconds, Yan Hongtao finally reacted, with a look of disbelief on his old face.
"Since you weren't trapped in a hallucination, why were you acting so sluggish before?"
"Otherwise, how could you be fooled, and how could this phantom snake attack me?"
The corner of Fang Ming's mouth rose with a sneer of disdain. His master had told him at the beginning that the phantom snake was extremely cunning and timid. If the target was not sure and fell into the illusion, it would not approach and attack. It would rather give up than
Put yourself in danger.
Therefore, Fang Ming had to pretend that he was in an illusion, and if he wanted to prevent himself from falling into an illusion, Fang Ming also learned the answer from his master.
This phantom snake will emit a relatively special smell, which is colorless and odorless, but once you inhale it and look at the phantom snake, you will fall into an illusion, so as long as you hold your breath, you will not be tempted by the illusion.
Therefore, everything was done intentionally by Fang Ming.
"You actually know about Phantom Snake?"
There was a look of shock in Yan Hongtao's eyes. He read about the origin of the Phantom Snake from a notebook written by a senior from the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that almost all records about the Phantom Snake have been lost.
"Yes, not only do I know it, I also know how to deal with it."
Fang Ming smiled slightly, while Yan Hongtao's face completely darkened. He knew that he had been teased by Fang Ming.
"Even without the Phantom Snake, I can still kill you."
Yan Hongtao finally couldn't keep his smile, but he still had confidence in himself. Even without the Phantom Snake, he still had a good chance of winning.
