All the yamen servants had their knives out of their sheaths, but they could only hear the sound and see nothing. This kind of shock to the spirit was unimaginable. Even Liu Catcher, who was usually calm, also had shortness of breath. He didn't know what to do for a while.
Shen Muxi quickly took out the small porcelain bottle from the pouch, spilling all the yellow powder from his sleeves. Five silver needles were pierced on the ground in the shape of a pentagram, and a red thread ran across her fingertips, enclosing everyone within the red thread at the fastest speed.
After finishing all this, Shen Muxi stood up with a cold face, "Everyone don't move, don't go out of this circle."
"Doctor Shen?" Catcher Liu was puzzled, "Is this feasible?"
"I sprinkled realgar powder, and these red threads have been soaked in realgar wine for some years. Although the snake has poisonous sacs, its nature is its nature after all." It’s hard to change your nature!”
For now, it is only a try.
The rustling sound actually stopped, and he didn't come any closer, even thinking of fleeing for a moment.
Shen Muxi breathed a sigh of relief, "The nature of animals is to protect their nests. It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the snake's lair."
She glanced at Liu Butou, Liu Butou nodded, "Then let's wait a little longer, it will be troublesome if those things go back and forth."
On this point, Shen Muxi agrees.
It wasn't until noon, when the scorching sun made the mouth dry, that Liu Butou led everyone to move on.
Snakes like shade, and the sun is scorching at noon. Cold-blooded animals like snakes generally don’t dare to wander outside. This is a good time to go to the snake’s lair.
Her forehead was hot and sweaty, and she couldn't keep her eyes open due to the sun. Shen Muxi rubbed her slightly sore shoulders, and looked around with slightly ailing eyes. She didn't know why... She felt as if she had two eyes staring at her. But when he looked carefully, he couldn't find any suspicious traces, and wondered if he was being overwhelmed? It was windy in the mountain col, and there was an unmistakable stench in the cool mountain wind.
Shen Muxi looked around, "The fishy smell is very strong, be careful."
Liu Butou nodded, and led the crowd into a shady cave.
Water seeped from the crevices of the rocks, nourishing the moss on the rock wall thick and dark. It can be seen that the cave has been in a dark and humid state for many years, and a strong stench can be smelled from the wind coming out of the cave.
The further you go in, the stronger the smell.
Suddenly, Liu Butou stopped and motioned everyone not to move.
Shen Muxi followed behind Liu Butou, just in time to see the movement in front of him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, his heart almost jumped out when he saw it.
There were snakes churning in the huge blood pool, and on the sand beside the blood pool, there were already many colorful snake eggs, and some female snakes were laying eggs in the sand. If the first batch of trained venomous snakes were only raised with poison sacs, then the young snakes bred by these venomous snakes will have better venom fusion, and then passed down from generation to generation, will become a new snake species , Once these snakes are released, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Withdraw!" Liu Butou waved, and everyone backed out the same way.
You can't scare the snake away, otherwise they all have to die here.
"A group of three, find the exit near the snake's lair separately." Liu Butou ordered, "Block those escape routes, and only then can these poisonous snakes be completely wiped out."
"I have some realgar powder here, take a little for each group, and sprinkle it near the visible hole." Shen Muxi took out all the realgar powder she brought, and put them in a small porcelain bottle. The realgar powder is bottled in advance.
She kept a spare bottle for herself. In this situation, no one knows what will happen next. "Doctor Shen, you wait here, if something happens, you must scream loudly." Catcher Liu urged, and handed her a short knife, "Keep it for self-defense!"
Shen Muxi took it, "I know how to take care of myself, you guys go and come back quickly!"
A group of people dispersed quickly, and all the snake holes had to be blocked to catch them all in one go. Otherwise, if the snake slipped through the net, who knows if it will make a comeback? There can be no omissions in this matter, and it must be ensured that nothing will go wrong.
Shen Muxi squatted behind the tree, staring intently at the entrance of the snake cave, not daring to blink for fear that some snake would escape.
"Swish", "Swish" strange sounds came from a distance, Shen Muxi clenched the dagger in his hand, nervously staring at the direction of the sound, is, is it a snake
