"Damn it! Damn it!" The veins on Quark's forehead were throbbing. He was obviously panicking, but he dared not speak too much in fear of alerting those so-called dangers.
Sometimes, a single sentence was all that was needed to make a person collapse.
The atmosphere fell into silence again. Tang Ling squinted his eyes and seized the rare free time to rest.
The closer he was to danger, the calmer he was. It was another instinct that Tang Ling could not explain.
Amidst the torment, Quark quietly distanced himself from Tang Ling and the other two. His expression changed as he struggled for a while. Then, he took out a strangely shaped black thing from his backpack and held it in his hand.
Tang Ling saw everything.
"I think we can try my method." Quark's action undoubtedly used his other hidden trump card. He wanted to abandon Tang Ling and the other two.
However, there was no need to point it out or stop him. Tang Ling had his own plans. As a matter of fact, his senses were only an aid. The key was the solution. Tang Ling would never place his hope on others.
He had been observing. It was time for him to make his move.
After hearing Tang Ling's words, Quark's expression changed slightly, but he immediately said, "Are you confident?"
He did not let go of the strangely shaped thing in his hand even though Tang Ling could not tell what it was for. It was a pipe connected to several irregular squares!
Nevertheless, he did not doubt its use.
"Here. Let's climb up." Tang Ling only paid attention to the thing in Quark's hand for less than half a second before he spoke.
He did not have to answer Quark. He untied the rope, lifted his sister up, jumped up lightly, and placed her at the place he pointed at.
It was an iron pipe that almost stuck to the top of the tunnel. It was very common in the underground settlement as such a thick iron pipe would be seen from time to time.
Then, Tang Ming lifted his grandmother, and this time, she climbed up on her own.
"Do you need my help?" Tang Ling glanced at Quark.
Quark was secretly shocked by the teenager's agility and strength. Even though he knew that the people of this era were stronger than the old civilization, the teenager's agility and agility must have been tempered through life and death.
"Just lend me a hand." Quark would not force himself.
Tang Ling did as he was told. After Quark successfully laid down on the pipe, Tang Ling ran for a few steps and with a light leap, he climbed up the pipe almost soundlessly.
It made Quark feel like he had underestimated Tang Ling again.
"What next?" After climbing up the pipe, Quark did not know what Tang Ling was going to do. He did it because he could not think of a last resort and would never waste his trump card. Moreover, the wasted resources of this trump card made his heart ache as well.
"You two stay here," Tang Ling whispered. Tang Ling whispered as he slowly and softly crawled along the pipe for almost three meters.
Is this kid trying to climb out through the pipe?
Is this? Quark's facial muscles were twitching! Firstly, the pipe couldn't avoid the black-horned purple-striped snake. Secondly, the pipe was less than 30 meters long. It was twisted and turned, so there was no way to reach the exit.
Tang!!! Tang!!!! Tang! Tang!!
After crawling for 3.5 meters, Tang Ling stopped. He tore off around 30 grams of meat from the leftover jerky.
Then, he held the meat strip in his hand as his brain spun to the max.
The black-horned purple-striped snake's sense of sound was limited to 27 meters, so the correct distance for him to throw the meat jerky out must be 25 meters. The slight tremble from the 30 grams of meat jerky when it landed would not startle the closest black-horned purple-striped snake.
After all, there were all sorts of noises in the seemingly quiet environment, such as the sound of the flowing air.
The black-horned purple-striped snake was not interested in the slightest sound.
Moreover, the precise grasp had another important meaning: he must not startle the other black-horned purple-striped snakes.
After all, it was close to their lair, so the snakes were very close to each other.
There was more than one danger that he had to overcome. Tang Ling needed to use his Precise Instinct to calculate the most precise 'nodes', but he still needed to put it into practice.
Two warm streams flowed out from his nostrils. Compared to before, the burden was heavier.
Tang Ling licked the blood off with his tongue and threw the meat jerky out without hesitation.
It was a perfect 25 meters.
Rustling noises sounded in less than a second, and soon, a thick black snake slithered over.
The mottled purple stripes on its black background and the sharp black horn at the front of its forehead had undoubtedly proved that it was a black-horned purple-striped snake.
It was still underage and was only around 10 meters long.
Tang Ling gently pulled out the sharp iron rod from his back, picked a suitable angle, and waited patiently.
The black-horned purple-striped snake was a little disappointed by the small piece of meat jerky, but it still swallowed it without a second thought.
Tang Ling's hand that was holding the iron rod was very steady. There was not even a slight tremble.
All beasts shared a common trait. No matter what the snake swallowed, it would always raise its head.
Even though it was just a piece of meat jerky, the black-horned purple-striped snake still raised its head.
Now's the time!
Tang Ling moved like lightning. The moment the black-horned purple-striped snake raised its head, he used the sharp iron rod to pierce a spot three inches below the snake's head.
Without even struggling, the black-horned purple-striped snake died without a sound. The three-inch weak spot was attacked and all its senses were instantly cut off.
Moreover, with his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling's attack was aimed at the snake's weak spot!
However, the hunting experience that he gained from years of risking his life also played a huge role.
It reminded Tang Ling of Uncle Zhang and the experience that he had imparted to him. He also remembered that Uncle Zhang once said that according to the legends, the weakness of snakes used to be at the seven-inch position.
It was a ridiculous theory, and in fact, there were many more ridiculous theories about wild beasts.
Tang Ling did not care about all that. He just remembered Uncle Zhang's confused and doubtful smile when he mentioned it. He wondered if Uncle Zhang's family had escaped.
The distraction annoyed Tang Ling, so he quickly collected his thoughts. There were still problems that he had to solve.
After resting for a minute, Tang Ling continued to climb up the pipe.
If he was lucky along the way, it would be that the winding pipe extended for around 30 meters, which was enough for him to solve most of the problems.
Without any help, Tang Ling started the toughest hunt of his life. His Precise Instinct was utilized to its limit.
More and more nosebleeds filled his mouth with a salty and fishy taste, but he could not wipe it.
The slightest movement would cause his plan to fail, so all he could do was lick it with his tongue.
Fortunately, black-horned purple-striped snakes were not sensitive to smell. Otherwise, the smell of blood …
20 minutes later, Tang Ling killed six black-horned purple-striped snakes.
