Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 176 Experience is sometimes misleading

Before the result came out, both parties participating in the gamble decided that they were the final winners.The difference is that Chen Ke guessed based on experience, while Hu Tu did field surveys.At this time, the bet was made and the entrance of the cave was blocked. Xu Min held snake repellent powder in his hand, but did not sprinkle it on it for the time being.

Wang Pinqiu suddenly asked: "By the way, how can you determine how many snakes are inside?"

Chen Ke thought about it, and replied with a smile: "I don't care about that. Since someone said that there are poisonous snakes here, it is natural for him to catch them. I will recognize them when I see them. Otherwise, how can we be sure." His The abacus was crackling, even if there was a poisonous snake under it, he didn't believe that Hu Tu dared to get it out.It was like adding a layer of insurance to the bet, ensuring that he would win.

But whether it was Hu Tu or Wang Pinqiu, their faces were very normal, and they didn't seem to take this matter as any difficulty.

Wang Pinqiu first said: "Hu Tu, otherwise, let's find some professionals to come over tomorrow and open up this snake hole. I think this snake should be Zhuyeqing. Their ornamental value is quite high, and these are pure wild. , it is estimated that many zoos and snake houses will be interested in them."

Because of his fear of snakes, Wang Pinqiu never thought of getting them out by himself from the very beginning.It is also the work habit of superiors to hand over specific matters that are difficult to solve to professionals.

And this statement shocked Chen Ke. If someone really searched here, maybe they could find more than five poisonous snakes. After all, this place is so big.He quickly said: "That's not okay." After searching his stomach, he found an excuse, "It's just a gamble, how can it be so laborious? Besides, people in our town have lived near here for generations. The things here, even poisonous snakes, It should be considered ours, how can you just find someone to come and dig it?"

"Are you trying to play tricks?" Wang Pinqiu said contemptuously.

"It's not cheating." Chen Ke said, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. We will leave here tomorrow, and I have to find someone to seal this hole. If you want to prove it, you have tonight, otherwise you will be counted. Lose." This method of formulating rules is simply taking advantage of it, and it is really unkind.

But Hu Tu just smiled and said: "It won't take that long, wait a minute, I'll make a small opening, and it is estimated that many snakes will climb up in a short while."

He said it quite confidently, and didn't think it was any difficulty.Not to mention anything else, but judging from the situation of the few snakes drilling up just now, the number of poisonous snakes below is not counted in single digits. If you want to get five out, it is simply a breeze, and you can catch them with your hands.

Xu Min took two steps back and said: "Then hurry up, I will sprinkle snake repellent powder over there later. The smell of snake repellent powder is not very pleasant. Yesterday I sprinkled a pack of it outside the cave. May you also sprinkle a little on the edge of the tent, although it smells a little bad, but safety comes first."

Hu Tu said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will be ready soon. I'll take my military shovel first, and when they come out in a while, I'll give them a shovel first."

Not long after, Hu Tu squatted sideways by the gap with a small opening, and there were some burnt dried fish beside him. I heard that this thing is very effective in attracting snakes.And the elf lay quietly on the side, looking at the stone pestle vigilantly.

Hu Tu turned his head and said: "You go to sleep first, I will keep watch at night, and when I catch it, I will fix this place. Pinqiu, you go to sleep too, poisonous snakes are not a pretty thing."

Wang Pinqiu hesitated for a moment, but still said timidly: "Okay, I'll go hide in the tent, and if there's anything wrong, you can call out. Sister Min, how about you help me take a look here?"

Before Xu Min could answer, Hu Tu said first: "No, no, Miss Min has worked hard enough, let her go to rest. You don't know my skills, it's just a few snakes, it's not a problem for me. Gloves, wearing leather clothes, they can’t even bite through, it’s okay.” The protection on his body is indeed very strict, not only the shoes are replaced with high-top leather boots, long clothes and trousers, gloves, but also the The collar and cuffs are tightly buttoned.Although it was redundant to him, in the eyes of those around him, it was indeed a guarantee.

Xu Min glanced at Hu Tu, smiled playfully at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, then be careful, just call out if you have something to do, I won't fall into a deep sleep."

In fact, after this incident, no one at the scene dared to sleep soundly, and of course they didn't dare to run around outside, they just stayed in their respective tents.Some stared with their heads open, such as the two curious reporters; some closed their eyes and turned over and over again, not sure, such as Chen Ke who wanted to know the result but insisted on it.

"Crack", Hu Tu slashed in mid-air, a green snake head flew away, and the elf's eyes followed.It didn't hit the stone this time, but the clear sound of the poisonous snake breaking was amplified in the middle of the night, very crisp.

"One." Reporter Zhao counted in a low voice.

Hu Tu patted the elf's neck and whispered, "This stuff is poisonous, so I can't give it to you."

Youyou's question came from the tent: "Sister Min, since the poisonous snake is poisonous, why didn't the poisonous snake poison itself to death?" It was Wang Pinqiu's voice, and she didn't intend to sleep at all.

Xu Min explained, "The venom of poisonous snakes is in the poison sac, and they are not poisonous. However, there are many parasites in snakes, especially a kind called 'Sparganum', which cannot be killed by high temperature or frozen by low temperature." It is a kind of parasite, and this kind of worm will grow bigger and bigger when it enters the body, causing headaches and even epilepsy, which is still very dangerous."

"I have another question." Wang Pinqiu was like a curious baby, "If a poisonous snake is bitten by another poisonous snake, will it be poisoned to death?"

Although this question is a bit weird, and Xu Min has never seen it with her own eyes, it is not difficult for her. After a little analysis, she came to the conclusion: "This is possible. The poison of snakes is in the poison sac, and the body's ability to resist poison is actually Not strong."

Just as he was talking, Hu Tu slashed straight again, and another snake head flew up, and it took only a few minutes before and after.

"Two." Reporter Zhao's voice became a little louder than before, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

After catching two poisonous snakes in a short period of time, Chen Ke tossed and turned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

After waiting for another three or five minutes, "呵啦", faintly excited voices came again, "Three." Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the tent being pulled open, and Reporter Zhao exposed his head.

It was another 2 minutes, "呵啦", "四条." Immediately afterwards, Chen Ke's exasperated voice said, "This is impossible, there are so many poisonous snakes hidden in this cave, and we have lived for so many nights, will we not find them? "His judgment is based on experience, but experience can sometimes be misleading.
