Due to the climate in Southeast Asia, it was definitely a good place for poisonous snakes to live. Therefore, there were all kinds of poisonous snakes gathered here, such as king cobras, krait, silver-ringed snakes, sharp-snouted vipers, white-lipped bamboo-leaved snakes, and so on. Southeast Asia had all kinds of poisonous snakes, and there were countless of them in this forest.
And now, Lin Ge was facing a spotted centipede. It was a poisonous viper under the suborder Viper, the viper family. It was a very thick snake, and its body was over a meter long. Many people knew that this snake had a nickname, the Hundred-Paced Golden Leopard.
Just from the name, one could tell how domineering this thing was. After being bitten, one couldn't even last a hundred paces. Lin Ge took a deep breath. In his current situation, he couldn't find a hospital in a short time, and he didn't have the snake venom serum on him. If he was "bitten" by this thing, he was afraid that his life would end here.
The spotted centipede slowly bent the front of its body backward. This was obviously an attack posture. As long as Lin Ge made the slightest threatening move, this large spotted centipede would rush forward and bite him without hesitation!
Lin Ge swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He had heard of this poisonous snake before. The spotted centipede had two kinds of venom. One was a hemorrhagic toxin, and the other was a neurotoxin. Snakes with these two kinds of venom were very rare. The spotted centipede's venom would cause symptoms similar to a stroke, and the treatment might not be able to detect the venom in time, thus delaying the treatment.
Unless Lin Ge could get his hands on the Lu's snake venom, he wouldn't dare to let this terrible thing bite him. Unfortunately, Lin Ge didn't have it. After being bitten by this thing, the blood would stop coagulating, and the whole body would bleed severely. The kidney would quickly fail, and soon there would be pulmonary hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage. Basically, death would be declared.
The more Lin Ge thought about it, the more frightened he became. If it weren't for the people under the tree noticing, Lin Ge definitely would've made his move first. He would've directly used the dagger in his hand to pierce the spotted centipede's seven inches to resolve this terrible crisis. But now, Lin Ge really couldn't do anything too radical. As long as he moved, the people under the tree would definitely notice. Not to mention that they were mercenaries, even ordinary people could hear the sound in the tree.
Lord Snake! Can you bear with it for a while and wait for those five fellows to leave before we have some fun? Lin Ge stared fixedly at the spotted centipede in front of him and prayed. He really wanted to cry but had no tears. This feeling was too unbearable.
The few people under the tree seemed to be tired from walking. They were chatting about something. Basically, they wanted to rest for a while before continuing. This place was cool. If they didn't rest for a while, they would feel sorry for themselves.
Just as the few of them were chatting casually under the tree, the spotted centipede's body in front of Lin Ge suddenly expanded and shrunk, emitting a whooshing sound! It's over. This snake is completely frightened!
The snake suddenly made a sound, and the people under the tree instantly quieted down. They all raised their heads and looked up. Lin Ge held his breath. F * ck, God, are you kidding me? If the snake above also bit him and the people below also opened fire, even if he was an immortal, he would definitely die here.
"There's a snake," a person under the tree suddenly said. He seemed to know snakes very well. Although he didn't see where the snake was, he made a judgment based on the sound. "It might be a spotted centipede. We'd better leave quickly. Be careful not to be touched by this thing."
"Are you sure it's that thing?" Another person was a little surprised.
The person nodded. "This month, it's the season for these things to be active and hurt people. We don't have that much Lu's Snake Serum to use. It's better to be careful. Last year, a brother died in the hands of a spotted centipede."
"Then shouldn't we avenge our brother?" A short guy actually looked like he was about to climb the tree. "I haven't eaten snake gall in a long time. Do any of you have wine on you? Lend me a sip later. "
Snake gall was the gallbladder in a snake's body that stored gallbladder sweat. It had the effect of dispelling wind, removing dampness, cooling, and detoxifying effects. It could also nourish a person's nervous system, strengthen their endocrine and immune systems, and slow down the body's aging. However, snake gall had a lot of parasites, and it was easy to be poisoned after eating it. Therefore, to eat a snake gall raw, it had to be taken with strong wine. Alcohol could effectively kill the parasites in the snake gall and reduce the harm.
Also, the people who ate the snake gall had to be strong and had very good physical fitness. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Mercenaries actually liked to eat snake gall raw. Their physical fitness was good, and they often hunted live snakes in the forest. If they didn't eat such a precious thing, it would be a pity to throw it away. Even if you didn't eat it, others would eat it, so it was still very rare.
"We're out to patrol. There's no wine. Don't make trouble for yourself." The leader said, "Let's go! Don't complicate things. If you want to eat snake gall, I'll find a place to catch two kraits for you when we go back. The snake gall is much better than the spotted centipede. Also, there's wine when we go back. You can drink whatever you want. "
Hearing this, the short guy put the dagger in his hand back into his combat boots and unwillingly picked up the gun on the ground.
The five people left the tree one by one. Lin Ge's head was full of sweat, and beads of sweat began to fall down! His clothes, which had just been dried, were completely soaked in sweat in such a short time! He was really too nervous just now.
The five people's footsteps were very fast. In less than a minute, they were gone. However, the frightened spotted centipede was still staring at Lin Ge. Fortunately, this snake's reaction would last for a long time after it was disturbed. It could even exceed the threat warning of half an hour. This gave Lin Ge a chance to catch his breath.
Now that the threat under the tree was gone, Lin Ge didn't have to worry about a stupid poisonous snake! In the blink of an eye, when Lin Ge flashed his dagger, the spotted centipede suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit at Lin Ge! Lin Ge's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. His left hand grabbed the snake's head, and his thumb pinched its seven inches. His right hand raised the dagger and cut off the spotted centipede's head!
The snake's head and body were cut in half, and Lin Ge hung it on a tree branch.
As time passed, Lin Ge began to feel hungry. They weren't here for a vacation, so it was impossible for them to prepare food. Looking at the vast forest, Lin Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He used to hate wilderness survival training the most, but now he had to face reality.
What was edible in this forest, and what wasn't, he had to be clear about. There was still a very important day. The sky was clear, and the mercenaries had just passed by. He absolutely couldn't light a fire. Once smoke appeared, his location would be exposed, and people would rush over immediately.
Although there were quite a lot of things that could be eaten raw in this forest, the taste wouldn't be very good. Lin Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stood up. There was no other way. He had to fill his stomach. Since entering the minefield yesterday, he hadn't eaten or slept for twelve hours.
Physical exhaustion was very great. No matter what, Lin Ge needed to replenish some food. Of course, Lin Ge also hoped that he could catch some small animals, skin them, and roast them. But reality wasn't so beautiful. He could only think of ways to find things that were high in protein and calories. Only these things could quickly fill his stomach and replenish his physical strength.
And it had to be the best thing to find.
In this forest, the best thing to find was a large forest spider. Eating a dozen of them would be enough to replenish his physical strength. But these things tasted like thick liquid, or perhaps it was brain juice … There was no other way. Since Lin Ge was deeply trapped, he had to do this.
