Chapter Thirty-Nine Can't Walk Five Steps
There are mongooses, big rats, and maybe wild cats. There are so many small animals that fit the barrel trap, it’s a treasure trove.
Wang Yang didn't think much, stopped on a slightly higher platform, set up a trap, and then left slowly.
Following the road, we came to a fruit forest and harvested a squirrel.
At this time, the wolves still hadn't come back, and they didn't know where they had gone. Wang Yang didn't dare to be careless. If the smell of the squirrel's blood spread, it might attract the wolves back.
He laid the trap and did not rush back to the cave immediately, because the way back was not very stable and had to pass through the territory of the Smilodon Tiger. It was in a bad temper today, so it was better not to see it.
He just climbed up the tree and fixed the squirrel on the tree with leather straps. The wolf could not get up the tree or get it.
As for whether it will be picked up by other animals that can climb trees, we can only leave it to fate.
It's different now than it was two days ago, when there were few animals in the forest that could threaten him.
Carrying a bloody squirrel corpse is equivalent to shouting: "I'm not here" while playing hide and seek.
It's not good to be too conspicuous.
Of course, Wang Yang would not give up on this prey. He planned to go to the area to the left of the fruit tree "1" to see the results.
He left as quickly as possible, ensuring that he was careful enough, and kept accelerating. In less than ten minutes, he reached that area.
When he arrived here, he slowed down and carefully observed his surroundings.
The wooden barrel was indeed covered, and to people's surprise, a snake was slowly approaching with its core spitting out.
The snake was about one meter long, brightly colored, and its skin was covered with diamond-shaped gray and black scales, which looked very similar to dead leaves on the ground.
If you are not careful, you will definitely not find it.
Its head is triangular in shape, very obvious, like the arrow head, with a round arrow body, and the head suddenly changes shape.
This snake is very similar to the snake that bit Wang Yang last time, but it is definitely not the one last time. In any case, that one is not poisonous.
But this... is obviously a five-step snake.
The five-step snake has many names, the more serious one is called the sharp-nosed pit viper, and there are many other names, such as the checkerboard snake and the cassock snake, all of which are very apt descriptions.
The patterns on its body are very beautiful, but they are actually a clever disguise. If it stays motionless with the dead leaves, people passing by will cry.
It has so many names. In addition to its wide distribution and strong adaptability, its powerful lethality is also one of its symbols.
There is a joke that explains its poisonous surname very well.
It is said that a couple went to have an affair in the mountains. The woman was bitten by a five-step snake, and the man was frightened: "I heard that if you are bitten by a five-step snake, you cannot walk five steps. If you exceed five steps, you will die."
The nearby hospital was too far away. Faced with a certain death situation, the man had an idea and grabbed the five-step snake, held down its head, and let it bite the woman many times.
Then he wiped his sweat and laughed heartily: "Now you can walk to the hospital."
Although it is a joke, it is enough to illustrate his poisonous surname.
It wandered around the barrel at a very slow speed. The little animals inside shivered and made frightened "chichichi" sounds, and dragged the barrel from time to time.
Wang Yang glanced at it and frowned. He must not let the poisonous snake bite his prey, otherwise he would not dare to eat it once the poison spreads.
He always remembered that some animals that were bitten by snakes could not be eaten.
He stood up, called out to the five-step snake "wuwu" twice, and then threw a stone at it.
(I’ll update a small chapter today, so I won’t have anything to do next week. If I update more chapters, will I talk nonsense?)
