Gradually, the tiger snake slowly raised its head. Its body was like a spring, and it looked like it was ready to spring up and bite at any time.
At the same time, it let out hissing sounds to intimidate its opponent.
But as its opponent, Ah Meow was very calm. I've even killed an adult Mexican wolf. Why would I be afraid of a soft scum like you?
From the confrontation just now, it could be seen that the tiger snake was no match for Ah Meow.
Ah Meow had saved Big Quinn's life earlier. Tiger snakes could secrete strong neurotoxins, coagulants, hemolysin, and snake specific muscle toxins. The toxicity of tiger snakes was ranked among the strongest snake venoms in the world.
After being bitten by a tiger snake, in addition to the severe pain of the wound, the toxins that spread from the wound would also cause pain in the feet and neck. The body would feel numb, sweat, and then have difficulty breathing and partial paralysis of the limbs.
Even if there was an effective antivenom, if it was not sent to the hospital immediately, the fatality rate was as high as 45%.
Li Du and the others did not prepare any antivenom. They did not expect to be attacked by a poisonous snake on the road.
Big Quinn's action of lifting the rock was too rash. The tiger snake was obviously hiding underneath. When he lifted the rock, the tiger snake thought it was being attacked and attacked him.
Fortunately, Ah Meow was very close to him and managed to throw the tiger snake away in time. Otherwise, Big Quinn would have been dead!
Ah Meow was two meters away from the tiger snake and Big Quinn. The tiger snake and Big Quinn were at most half a meter apart. In the end, the tiger snake did not succeed in its attack and was thrown away by Ah Meow.
From this, it could be seen that Ah Meow's insight, reaction speed, explosive power, and speed were all faster than that of the tiger snake. In this confrontation, he did not have to be afraid of the tiger snake.
Similarly, the tiger snake was not afraid of him. In the wild in Australia, tiger snakes had no natural enemies. It was used to being arrogant and did not take Ah Meow seriously.
Ah Meow squatted in front of the tiger snake. The tiger snake was ready to attack. It kept flicking its tongue and shaking its head.
Li Du was worried that an accident would happen and wanted to call Ah Meow back. However, he could not disturb Ah Meow now. In a fight between experts, life and death could be decided in an instant.
If he disturbed Ah Meow and caused him to be bitten by the tiger snake, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Big Quinn understood this as well. The two of them stood there without moving, quietly watching the confrontation between the ocelot and the tiger snake.
While watching, Li Du summoned the little bug and used its ability to slow down time to keep a close eye on the snake and the cat.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, the two sides began to fight.
Ah Meow was the first to make a move, but he did not pounce on the tiger snake. Instead, he slowly straightened his long tail and quickly lashed it out like a whip towards the tiger snake.
The tiger snake's neck seemed to have springs installed on it. It stretched its head out at lightning speed, opened its mouth, and revealed its ferocious fangs. It ferociously bit at Ah Meow's tail.
Ah Meow flicked his tail forward and instantly retracted it. The speed at which he retracted his tail was much faster than the speed at which he swung it. At the same time, he used his front claws to grab the tiger snake. His sharp nails were like knives, leaving a wound on the tiger snake's body.
The tiger snake rolled on the ground, then quickly got up and coiled its body.
With that, Li Du calmed down. The tiger snake was definitely no match for Ah Meow.
Ah Meow was also sure of this. His long tail began to shake, as if he had become a snake, constantly testing the tiger snake.
The tiger snake seemed to have realized how terrifying the strong enemy in front of it was. It coiled its whole body, stopped shaking its head, and obediently retracted its head back into its body.
Only when Ah Meow's tail swung in front of it would it suddenly poke its head out to attack.
However, it did not gain anything. When it poked its head out, Ah Meow immediately retracted his tail. His reaction speed and muscle movement speed were much faster than the tiger snake's.
Seeing this, Li Du let out a sigh of relief. "Ah Meow, come back. Stop playing."
He was afraid that Ah Meow would go overboard and make a mistake. That would be tragic.
Big Quinn could not see the movements of the two sides clearly, but he could see that the tiger snake was injured. Ah Meow was now teasing his opponent casually.
So he said, "Boss, let it play. This is one of the cat's favorite games. It's also a kind of training for itself."
Li Du asked, "This is training?"
Big Quinn nodded. "Yes, ocelots tease their opponents to train their hunting skills. They know what they're doing, so nothing will happen."
Li Du said, "It's better to be careful. Besides, this snake did not attack us first, so there's no need for us to kill it."
They had stayed in the area for a while, but the tiger snake had not come out until Big Quinn lifted the rock it was hiding in. Only then did it attack.
Hearing this, Big Quinn was also puzzled. "Yes, tiger snakes are actually not very aggressive, especially when they encounter a strong enemy. They should run away. Why is this snake still here?"
Li Du shrugged his shoulders. Who knew?
Ah Meow continued to tease the snake. His long tail swung here and there, making the tiger snake dizzy.
The snake's attack speed was very fast, and the time taken was very short. However, it consumed a lot of energy. It had attacked Ah Meow's tail many times, but had not succeeded. It was already tired.
Li Du was sad to see this. This silly child was so pitiful. It had encountered Ah Meow and was being toyed with.
Who was Ah Meow? If ocelots were the fighting cats of cats, then Ah Meow was the fighting cat of ocelots. The tiger snake was not on the same level as Ah Meow.
In fact, it was not only the ocelot. Other than the black mamba, the inland taipan snake, and other fierce snakes with abnormal attack speed, most snakes had no advantage against cats.
Cats' reaction speed was too fast, and snakes relied on this. Other than their reaction speed, they had nothing else to rely on. Once their reaction speed was suppressed, they were done for.
Besides, it was noon. Tiger snakes were cold-blooded animals. Although there was not much sunlight and the weather was gloomy, it was still the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in Australia. The temperature was still very high, and the tiger snake was overheated.
Just like that, after being teased, the tiger snake became listless and lay there like a pile of noodles.
Seeing this, Ah Meow lost interest and hopped back to Li Du.
At this time, the tiger snake still did not leave. It still stayed there and stared at them.
Big Quinn suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "D * mn, I understand now. There might be snake eggs under this rock. It's hatching little snakes here!"
As he spoke, he carefully lifted the rock.
Seeing this scene, the tiger snake quickly swam over and wanted to attack it. However, Ah Meow sniped it. With a flick of his paw, the tiger snake was thrown into the air.
After Big Quinn lifted the rock, there was indeed a pile of snake eggs, and a few of them were crushed.
No wonder the tiger snake wanted to bite him earlier. He had lifted the rock casually and crushed a few snake eggs.
Seeing these snake eggs, Li Du scratched his head and said, "What should we do with them?"
Big Quinn said, "Don't worry. This is not a poisonous snake found at home. This is the Australian wilderness. Let's respect the natural environment."
