Chapter 114 Spicy Noodles
Under the flickering firelight, a pile of dry weeds appeared in front of everyone.
Because of the lighting, many people didn't see it at first, until Bifang brought the torch closer. There was a commotion and the audience saw the deadly killer hidden in the boredom.
It was a snake with a slender body, a gray-yellow back and thin white horizontal stripes. It was hidden in the dead grass at the moment, and it looked completely natural. If it had not been stimulated by the torch, even if it was placed in front of the audience, they would not have been able to recognize it at the first time.
Even if it is Bifang, it cannot be seen but "smelled".
He smelled a faint fishy odor here and realized that there might be some living creatures nearby. He searched for it purposefully and finally found the snake.
[Fuck, there really is a snake? ]
[This disguise is outrageous. How can you tell it? It's a bit scary. ]
[Are there snakes in the desert?]
[Watch out! It's rolling up! Is it going to attack? ]
[This one is really brave. The last time Fang Shen encountered a black-necked snake, it ran away without even looking back! ]
[Stop talking, there is no such shameful snake in our snake family! ]
Bifang stared at the venomous snake, whose neck was contracted and whose tail was shaking violently, and explained in a low voice.
"This is the subtle difference . Generally speaking, the ones that run away when they see people are non-venomous snakes, and the ones that curl up and enter an attacking state are venomous snakes. Of course, this is not a basis, but a simple judgment, just like the triangle head, it is not accurate, but it has a certain applicability."
"Especially the one in front of me, the middle viper!"
"The pit viper is very ferocious. Colubridae snakes usually run away quickly after encountering humans, but this guy never actively avoids. Instead, he shrinks his neck and shakes his tail to attack!"
[? Isn't this a flat-headed brother? Fight to the death, and fight to the end! ]
[Jingdigui? Did I hear that name correctly? Is that the agent I was thinking of?]
[Sousuke? I’m Ponyo, Sosuke! ]
[Attack status! Aren't you afraid? 】
[What are you afraid of? If you meet Fang Shen, you will be like a spicy noodle! ]
[A pit viper? Is it poisonous?]
"The intermediary here is the intermediary you think of, the middleman who makes a profit from the price difference."
Bifang can basically judge what the netizens are saying without reading the barrage.
This was his second time encountering a poisonous snake. Unlike the first time when they met in a narrow road in a tree, this time the terrain was open and the poisonous snake was discovered early.
The risk is greatly reduced.
"Snakes mainly rely on scent and thermal vision to catch prey. Does anyone remember the Gebayas people I mentioned earlier? They use flames to confuse the python's target. I did the same here. We kept shaking the torch, so it couldn't quickly determine the target."
Bifang waved the torch to confuse the poisonous snake, and pretended to glance at the barrage on the drone's screen.
"Yes, and it's extremely poisonous. The pit viper is the most widely distributed, most numerous, and most poisonous snake in northern my country. It can be found in forests and Gobi Deserts, but basically not in the desert. This pit viper can live here, so it seems that this place is not barren after all. It may even be more 'rich' than I thought!"
Bifang used an inappropriate word, but compared with the previous desert, the Gobi Desert with rocks and soil can indeed be considered "rich".
"And I can tell you clearly here that as long as it is a pit viper , it must be poisonous, because the scientific name of pit viper 'Agkistrodon' comes from Greek, where 'Ancistro' means 'hook' and 'odon' means 'tooth'."
"The two together refer to the pit viper's most well-known hooked fangs. This name is not derived from Chinese custom. my country started studying snakes relatively late, and most of the terms come from foreign magazines."
"When you see a snake with the word 蝮 in its name, you can simply understand it as a snake with poisonous fangs."
As a biological investigator in his previous life, Bifang had a very clear understanding of these nouns.
Looking at the tightened venomous snake in front of him, Bifang narrowed his eyes. The distribution of the pit viper is so widespread and the number is so large, so it is naturally impossible to be a protected animal. As long as it can be caught, won’t we have food for tonight?
There is still a long way to go, but the probability of encountering any living creatures is not high. And if you do encounter one, it is likely to be a protected animal, so the chance is rare.
When the audience heard that Bifang was going to catch a snake, they were even more excited.
Poisonous snake!
The snake catchers said they had basically done it before, but this was the first time they had seen someone catch a venomous snake with their own eyes!
"The temperature is very low now, so the viper's mobility will be greatly reduced, and it moves very slowly. But we can't underestimate it. If it bites me, this live broadcast will be over."
[Awesome, I'm already used to Lao Fang's pretentiousness]
[This is not pretending, it's clearly showing off in front of others! (Funny)]
[Intermediary Viper: I can fail countless times, but you only have one! ]
[This is Lao Fang’s first time catching a snake! ]
[Nonsense! Doesn’t my Golden Python have any face? ]
[So exciting, is this going to be a snake? ]
Here, Bifang, holding a torch, took half a step back and was about to find a stone, but he didn't expect the intermediate viper to follow him directly!
Many viewers had no idea about the ferocious nature of the Jiejie viper that Bifang had just mentioned, but they were instantly shocked when they saw this scene.
So awesome!
In just a few seconds, the middle pit viper had swam out most of its body. Under the firelight, its pair of snake eyes reflected a cold light, its snake core was exposed, and its long and curved fangs were exposed to the air.
Bifang waved the torch in front of the middle viper again, but this time the middle viper bit directly at the flame!
Bifang also reacted very quickly. At the moment when the middle viper bit him, he swept the torch across, pushing the snake's head to the side. He gave up the stone on the ground and reached out to grab the tail of the middle viper!
Grass!
Many viewers were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. This guy is so bold!
As soon as the pit viper here bit the torch head, it felt something was wrong. The taste was different from any prey it had bitten before. A piercing pain came from the snake's mouth. It was about to let go, but it felt dizzy.
It was picked up!
Bi Fang just grabbed the snake's tail, stood up quickly, raised his left arm horizontally away from his torso, and shook his left hand rapidly at the same time.
Snakes generally have well-developed muscles. If they didn't do this, it would quickly wrap around and bite Bifang's arm.
Sure enough, as soon as the middle viper recovered, it wanted to raise its head and bite Bifang's arm. When it was less than half a body away from Bifang's arm, it shook and was thrown down again.
Bifang picked up the middle viper and smashed it against the rock wall next to it, just like cracking a whip. With just one hit, the middle viper was knocked dizzy.
Then, Bifang stepped on the snake's head with one foot, took out his hunting knife, and carefully cut off the head of the middle viper.
But at the moment the snake's head fell, the snake's body actually wrapped around Bifang's calf!

In a hurry, many viewers only had time to sigh and try to remind Bifang.
Unfortunately, how could Bifang, whose attention was not on the barrage, have time to notice it?
