Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 178: Giant Snake Discovered

Wang Li waited by the river for a while, observing the surrounding environment and sensing the situation of the creatures in the underground river.

Soon, a creature with huge blood and energy entered his perception range and approached him at a rapid speed.

Wang Li knew that the giant snake must have discovered him and was heading towards him.

He did not panic, but slowly retreated about 20 meters.

Wang Li wanted to lure the giant snake to the shore to hunt it, but he was not good at water battles, and after hunting the giant snake, it would fall into the water and be difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, 10 seconds after he stepped back, the underground river where he had been standing suddenly broke open and a giant snake of enormous size rushed out.

The head of this giant snake is not as sharp as that of ordinary snakes, but rather round and flat. Judging from the exposed part of the snake, it must be at least 18 meters long.

The giant snake moved very quickly. It took less than a second from the time it broke out of the water to the time it rushed onto the river bank.

Wang Li reacted quickly as well. He quickly pulled the alloy bow, aimed at the giant snake's eyes, and released the bowstring.

After a clear buzzing sound, a sharp hissing sound came from afar.
Later, Wang Li saw that the giant snake struggled for a few times and then lay motionless on the shore.

He calmed himself down. Although he had hunted ancient giant crocodiles and white tigers before, this was the first time he had hunted such a large snake, and in such a dark environment.

There were still some fluctuations in my heart, especially the scream of the giant snake before it died, which was very piercing.

You should know that ordinary snakes will not make this kind of sound. Perhaps only this kind of giant snake can show this kind of performance.

Wang Li did not go over immediately, but took out another arrow and shot it through its other eye, but found that it did not move.

Wang Licai quickly approached the giant snake, took out a 5-meter-long rope, tied it to the snake's head, pulled the other end of the rope, and ran away from the underground river.

He did this because when he had just killed the giant snake, its cry would easily attract other giant snakes and disturb him from dealing with the prey's body. He was also afraid of being besieged, so he immediately walked in the direction he came from.

In other words, his strength is amazing. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to drag such a big snake far away by himself.

Without any danger, he brought his prey to a distance of 500 to 600 meters from the river bank. After observing the surroundings, he put away the metal bow and arrow, took out the bronze giant sword, and began to deal with the giant snake's body.

Because there was no wood around, the giant snake meat could not be made into smoked meat, so Wang Li directly cut the giant snake meat into strips weighing about one pound, smeared the salt in the space on the surface of the meat, made the giant python meat into pickled meat, and took it away after drying.

Due to limited conditions, Wang Li had to place the giant snake meat on moss-free rocks on the ground and let it dry naturally.

It took Wang Li a while to deal with the giant snake's body.

This time he had a great harvest, including a giant snake skin, which was one of his favorite harvests, because when cutting the scales, he found that even with a bronze giant sword, he still needed some force to cut.

Secondly, there was a nearly 10-meter-long snake tendon in the giant snake's spine, which was no worse than the tendon he got from the giant crocodile. In addition, he also obtained two giant snake fangs, each of which was more than 60 centimeters long and very sharp.

There was also a snake gall as big as a fist. After sensing it with the ability of qi and blood, it was found that the qi and blood stored in it was very amazing. It was obviously a top-grade material for making medicine.

All that's left are some snake bones and snake meat.

It was already noon, and Wang Li did not continue exploring the underground space. Instead, he took out the dry food and water he carried with him and ate lunch.

He deeply regretted not bringing a kerosene stove, otherwise he could have eaten snake meat.

But good things come late, so he can eat the snake meat after he returns to Kyoto.

After Wang Li finished his meal, he looked around and found that there were no other animals that would touch the snake meat and other things he had prepared, so he walked towards the underground river.

He walked away from the river bank, along the underground river, exploring the underground space, wanting to see where the source of the underground river was.

When he was fighting the giant snake just now, he had already discovered that the water temperature of the underground river was a bit high.

This was obviously abnormal. He analyzed that it might be that the underground river flowed through the hot springs near the volcano and was heated to such a high temperature.

The exploration went very smoothly. He deliberately restrained his own breath, so he did not encounter other giant snakes.

After an afternoon of exploration, Wang Li had a general understanding of this underground space.

The underground space is a rectangular space about 3000 meters long and 2000 meters wide.

The highest point is 50 meters, and the underground river runs through the entire underground space.

The water inlet of the underground river is in the north of the space, where there is a crack that is 2 meters wide and more than ten meters long. The underground river water enters from here.

The exit of the underground river is in the south of the underground space, where there is a hole about 4 meters long and wide.

The hole was at the bottom of an underground river and he had no way of exploring it.

In the entire underground space, apart from ordinary moss and those luminous plants, there are no other living creatures.

This confirmed Wang Li's guess that those giant snakes lived in this underground river.

It can also be said that they entered this space through the underground river, and then climbed to the outside world through the cracks in this underground space.

It can also be said that these giant snakes are underground creatures. If there were no earthquake cracks, it would be difficult for humans to encounter them.
