Zhu Tianlei followed Taohua down to the cellar. Before his feet even touched the ground, he smelled a faint fishy smell.
His ears moved. In the darkness, the rustling sounds of the scales on the snake's body rubbing against each other and the hissing sounds of the snake's core being spit out were extremely clear.
Taohua skillfully found a flashlight in the dark, but the flashlight was specially processed, the light was not strong, and it was light blue.
"These beasts are particularly sensitive to temperature, so the flashlight is cold light."
Taohua lowered her voice and explained to Zhu Tianlei.
Zhu Tianlei nodded and began to look around the cellar.
Directly opposite is a huge pool, but it is covered with a tarpaulin, so you can't see what's going on inside the pool, but you can guess what's under the tarp.
Surrounded by rows of cages, the cages are made of wood and also covered with tarpaulin.
"I'll pull the tarpaulin away later, and you stand farther away."
In order not to let Taohua think too much, Zhu Tianlei stepped back a few steps cooperatively.
Taohua held a flashlight in one hand and took down a long iron hook from the pillar next to her. There were metal rings on the tarpaulin. Taohua hooked one of the rings with the hook, and then with a shake of her arm, the tarp was lifted.
A corner.
The hissing sound became clearer.
Zhu Tianlei slowly approached the pool.
Although he had thought about the situation in the pool, when countless rice krait snakes covered the bottom of the pool and were entangled with each other, it still made people's spine tingle.
This was not the first time Zhu Tianlei saw these long insects, but in the Black Tiger Forest before, these beasts were scattered and the terrain was very open. They looked far less disgusting than they did now.
"What about that one?"
Zhu Tianlei did not forget the snake that wrapped around him at that time. The snake was obviously much larger than these.
"It is the queen of snakes and is kept alone. Do you want to see it?"
"If I guess correctly, the amount of snake venom on its body should be the largest."
Although Zhu Tianlei has never dealt with these things, there are some things in the magic of spiritual medicine that are related to them. After all, snakes themselves are a type of medicinal material.
According to the magic of spiritual medicine, the longer a snake survives and is larger, the greater its venom reserves and the stronger its toxicity.
"Yes, you want to take snake venom?"
Taohua looked at Zhu Tianlei, her eyes showing worry clearly under the blue flashlight light.
"The poison on your father's body must use rice krait venom, and it requires a large amount."
Zhu Tianlei told the truth that old man Tiangui's body had been filled with toxins for at least ten or twenty years. It could be said that if it weren't for the several toxins in his body that competed with each other to support old man Tiangui, he would have died long ago.
It is precisely because of this that he himself has a strong resistance to poisons, but his body is hollowed out by the poisons. The amount of snake venom is small, and it may not have any effect on the old man Tiangui.
"No, the snake queen is very fierce. Dad usually has a hard time extracting the poison. You have never done it before. No, it's too dangerous."
Taohua shook her head.
Zhu Tianlei felt warm in his heart.
Old Tiangui was the person she loved the most, and at this time, she was always considering his safety, so no one else would be able to avoid feeling a little moved.
"The poison on your father's body must be induced by the poison of the rice krait, and time is very urgent. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Firstly, Zhu Tianlei does have some confidence in himself, and secondly, he doesn't want to disappoint Taohua.
"No, if you have to take the poison, then I'll go. I've been dealing with these beasts since I was a child, and even if I get bitten, I won't die, so I'll go."
A look of determination appeared on Taohua's little face.
"Do you have no confidence in me? Don't worry, if I really subdue that beast, you can do it again."
Zhu Tianlei took a step back.
"It's better for me to go. I can't let anything happen to you. You are here to help me."
Taohua is very persistent.
"Okay, then you tell me where the Snake Queen is first, I have an idea."
If Taohua doesn't give in, Zhu Tianlei can't do anything.
"You hold the flashlight, and I'll put on gloves and get the funnel and measuring cup."
Zhu Tianlei took the flashlight from Taohua's hand and saw Taohua turn around and walk to a small table nearby. There was a box on it. Taohua bent down and took out two things from it, wearing thick rubber gloves on his hands.
.
"Let's go!"
Zhu Tianlei followed Taohua, and then he discovered that there was another wall to the north with a small door on it. Because the small door was dark and narrow, Zhu Tianlei had not noticed it before.
Taohua entered the small door, followed by Zhu Tianlei.
This is a small room, less than ten square meters, with a cement platform taking up most of the space, and a huge box placed on it.
"I'll grab this beast's head later, and then you can put the funnel under its teeth. You must use force, preferably against the roots of its teeth. The more stimulated it is, the more venom it will secrete."
Zhu Tianlei nodded.
As before, Taohua picked up the hook from the corner and lifted up the tarpaulin on the box. The huge thing inside immediately appeared in front of Zhu Tianlei's eyes.
I don't know if I smelled a strange smell, but the snake that was originally lying in the box slowly raised its head, and then slowly stood up, its bright red core swallowing back and forth.
"Stand back first, and then come back when I catch this beast."
Taohua is still worried.
"Catch him, I know what he is doing."
"This beast is very vicious. What if it comes out of it and bites you? I'm not afraid. I'm afraid it will bite you."
Taohua's eyes were misty. She didn't know whether it was because the tears before had not completely dried up, or because she was currently worried about Zhu Tianlei.
"Okay, okay, I'll step back."
Zhu Tianlei couldn't hold on to Taohua anymore, so he took two steps back.
Taohua breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and carefully opened the door of the box containing the snake queen.
Because he was wearing rubber gloves, the movements of his hands would definitely be disturbed. Taohua stretched out her hand to grab the snake queen's neck, but the snake queen was extremely sensitive despite its huge body, and Taohua's hand had not yet touched it.
It, it swayed and dodged.
Naturally, Taohua would not give up. She took a deep breath and stretched out her hand again. But the moment she stretched out her hand, the snake queen suddenly straightened her body and jumped out directly towards Taohua.
The distance was too close, Taohua couldn't hide even if she wanted to, so she could only close her eyes subconsciously.
But just when she thought she was certain to die, what she expected did not happen. She opened her eyes a crack and saw Zhu Tianlei standing beside her at some point. At this time, the snake queen's head
It happened to be caught in Zhu Tianlei's hand.
Taohua couldn't help but smile weakly at Zhu Tianlei. This was the second time Zhu Tianlei saved her life.
"Get the poison!"
Zhu Tianlei didn't say much else. In this kind of environment, it's really not suitable to be sensational and say tender and sweet love words. (To be continued)
