Chapter 116: The Man Who Lassoes Horses
Underground cave?
Where?
The sudden appearance of the task confused Bifang. He stopped introducing the sparganum and looked around.
Apart from the rock wall, it was pitch black.
Could it be that...
Bifang looked at the deep pool of water beside him again and forgot to turn over the snake meat in his hand.
The cave is in the pool?
[This snake is so disgusting, why do you want to eat it? ]
【I cannot accept this.】
[You can eat it once it’s cooked. Parasites are also insects, so they must be high in protein! ]
[Most of the meat we eat usually has parasites, but it is not infected because it is cooked. ]
"Yes, to kill the sparganum, you need to burn it at a high temperature of 100℃ for at least 2 minutes. Even if I use fire to roast it and the temperature is higher, it will still take more than a minute." Bifang came back to his senses and responded to the barrage.
The audience didn't notice anything unusual.
The development of the situation now was somewhat beyond Bifang's expectations. If it was just an ordinary cave, it would be fine, but it was actually in a pond.
It's too dangerous.
Unknown gases and environments, and possibly even unknown organisms.
The most important thing is that it is even specially marked on the system!
[Do you want to accept the side quest? Note: This quest is somewhat dangerous. ]
Bifang had never encountered such a situation before!
Therefore, if there is a cave in the ground, it cannot be an ordinary cave, but is most likely a whole developed underground system!
As complicated as a maze!
The most important thing was how to explain to the audience that he wanted to go into the pond to take a look...
That’s right, the emergence of this task has completely attracted Bifang.
"In order to better eliminate insects, it is best to roast the creatures until the skin is burnt black before eating them in the wild. Although this may make the taste a little worse, it will be safe enough."
Bifang turned over the slightly black roasted snake meat, picked a piece from the wooden stick, and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about the heat.
"call!"
A stream of hot air gushed out of Bifang's mouth.
Because there is no seasoning, a burnt bitter taste spreads from the tip of the tongue.
Bifang took two bites but failed to bite it through. The snake meat was tough and dry, but for him who hadn't eaten for a day, it was still a rare delicacy.
"Without oil, this piece of snake meat is too tough and a little stuck in the teeth, but the inside is fine, like the taste of yellow eel meat, fishy but very sweet."
After chewing it twice, Bifang swallowed it directly.
"Many people say snake skin is a delicious food, but it is too troublesome to prepare. Not only do you have to boil it in boiling water, but you also have to scrape the scales. It's not worth it for me to go through so much trouble just to eat snake skin when I'm struggling to survive."
Bifang pointed to the snake skin beside the pond. The snake skin was crumpled into a ball and covered in blood.
"If I could, I would bring it back..."
“Crash!”
A sound of water suddenly rang out in the silent night, startling everyone.
Bifang stood up quickly, took a few steps back, and stared at the pool.
"There's something in the pool!"
The audience can understand this without Bifang saying it, but it is just too unbelievable.
[Damn, there are fish in such a small pond? ]
[From the sound, it seems like this fish is quite big. ]
[Didn't God Fang say that this place is connected to an underground river and has running water? Otherwise it would have dried up and become smelly long ago.]
[Are there any living things in the underground river? 】
The sound of "splashing" water was heard again, as if a big fish was splashing in the water.
Bifang held the hunting knife and did not dare to be careless.
Even though common sense told him that there were few big fish in the underground river, Bifang did not dare to relax.
The system has issued a warning; this creature must not be underestimated!
The only source of light was the fire, but the range of the fire was not large. The light on the lake was extremely dim, and only a few ripples slowly spread out on the quiet water.
Bifang became inexplicably uneasy and stared intently at the unusually quiet water surface, but after more than ten minutes, nothing appeared.
He let out a low breath, inserted the hunting knife back between his thighs, turned around to pick up the snake meat, but the calm ripples appeared silently again, silent, like a snake sliding underwater.
The thin line of water slowly made a circle and disappeared again, and the water surface returned to calm.
This time it really disappeared.
"Huh, it looks like it has left." Bifang wiped the sweat from his forehead and picked up the snake meat on the ground.
Nothing happened in the silent night.
Yes, it sounds amazing that there are aquatic animals living in the desert, but on the other hand, this environment also imposes huge constraints on biological evolution.
"I've been living in the wild for a long time, so my nerves have become a little sensitive. Generally speaking, unless it's a crocodile, few aquatic creatures dare to come ashore, let alone attack creatures of my size..."
Halfway through his words , Bifang felt a sudden pain in the middle of his eyebrows.
The water suddenly burst out!
At the same moment, Bifang leaped up, a sound like tearing silk was heard in the air, and the wind from his body caused the flames to sway.
A huge black shadow leaped out from the water and pounced on Bifang, but missed!
"fish!"
Wu Gang couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
But he wasn't sure if it was a fish.
Not only Wu Gang, but even Bifang didn't recognize what it was. He searched his memory but couldn't find any impression of such a creature!
The big fish had hideous bone spurs on its head, as sharp as teeth, piercing through the black leather, and the hard bones reflecting iron light covered its entire head.
The monster seemed to have no eyes, and its entire head had only a greedy big mouth with hooked teeth like a venomous snake!
Its tongue is dark brown and covered with blue tumors that appear to be poisonous.
Most of the monster's body was sent to the shore by the momentum, and its iron- like tail was whipping the rocks desperately. It raised its head and bit Bifang again, staring at Bifang's feet!
Bifang looked at the eyeless monster and saw the bloody snake skin beneath it, and suddenly woke up.
This thing was attracted by the smell of blood.
The monster hunched over, its muscles ready to strike.
Bifang jumped up to avoid it, but the monster's huge body contained amazing power, and it caught up with him in the instant of jumping up!
With extremely strong dynamic vision, Bifang stared at the ferocious big mouth and his pupils shrank sharply.
A horrible fishy smell emanated from it, and the sharp teeth like poisonous hooks flickered in the firelight.
In a hurry, Bifang had no time to retreat. He knew that he could not retreat as fast as the opponent, and once he was knocked down, the situation would be very critical. So he made up his mind, stretched out his hands in the air, and took the initiative to face the monster!
The firelight was dim and no one could see clearly what was happening with his hands. All they felt was that Bifang was so bold that he was almost crazy!
Don’t you want to use your hands anymore?
Just when everyone thought that Bifang's hands were about to be bitten off by the monster, the next moment, Bifang suddenly fell to the ground, pulling something and retreating quickly.
The entire valley was filled with the sound of this monster. It roared and screamed at the top of its lungs, and the sound was like a baby crying.
Bifang actually grabbed the monster's tongue!
The only vulnerable part of this monster with an exoskeleton that cannot attack is its spotted and scabby tongue.
Bifang grabbed the tongue like using a lasso to catch a wild horse!
