It is now approaching dusk, the setting sun in the sky is blood-red, and the sea breeze is still biting.
At this moment, two people and a snake were confronting each other on the beach. To be precise, only Su Wan was awake.
It was a snake that was about as thick as Su Wan's arm. It had a triangular, sharp head, and the patterns on its body were exaggeratedly complex. Its cold green vertical pupils were staring at Su Wan intently.
It seemed that in the next moment, the snake would suddenly swoop over and bite Su Wan's throat.
As a girl, Su Wan has a quiet personality and has been afraid of these soft and boneless creatures since she was a child.
Seeing the snake spitting out its tongue, Su Wan's eyes suddenly widened, and a strong sense of bitterness emerged in his throat.
sky!
Aren't snakes cold-blooded animals? Aren't they most afraid of things like fire
This is totally unscientific!
I heard a slight rustling sound in my ears; the snake was getting closer!
…
At the seaside where the sound of wind is faint, the bonfire burns with a warm yellow glow, and because of the burning, the dead branches emit a light wood fragrance.
Across the bonfire, the intricately patterned snake with a pair of icy green vertical pupils was staring at Su Wan fiercely.
However, due to the fire in front of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, it instinctively didn't want to get close.
However, the man lying down had a strong smell of blood.
The smell of blood was so addictive to it that it didn't want to give it up at all!
Before it even put the food in its mouth, it had already determined from the smell of rust that the man lying limp on the ground would be a delicious prey.
…
The snake coiled its body, as if considering how to attack. It had not come out to look for food for a long time, and the two humans in front of it were naturally the best meal in its eyes.
Although Su Wan couldn't recognize the type of snake, he felt something was wrong when he saw its triangular head was so sharp and it looked like it was ready to attack at any time.
Obviously, this is a venomous snake.
But no matter what, at this moment, she could only force herself to stay calm.
Su Wan took a deep breath. Jiang Xuecheng was still lying there meaninglessly. This man needed her protection now. She could not retreat no matter what.
The poisonous snake stared at Su Wan with its eyes, spitting out long letters from time to time, as if calculating the time to attack.
Su Wan subconsciously picked up a piece of dead wood and grabbed a stone. He looked like he was ready to fight back at any time, but he was actually feeling extremely nervous.
Her face turned pale, and her red eyes were now filled with coldness and fear.
She is afraid of snakes, it's natural and she can't help it at all.
God knows, when she was taking the elective course on wilderness survival, she knew what techniques to use to control the snake's head so that it would not move, and she also knew that the snake's most vulnerable part was the weakest part.
but!
Those are just theories, she has never really subdued a snake!
If it were in the past, Su Wan would never have dared to imagine encountering these things!
…
Su Wan took another deep breath, and the blood disappeared from his pale face.
The triangular-headed poisonous snake was already crawling over. Its winding body and colorful scales were terrifying to look at.
Su Wan was clutching a branch with one hand and a stone with the other, but beads of sweat kept oozing out of his face!
Just when it was about one meter away from Su Wan, the snake suddenly stopped again!
It looked at the bonfire cautiously, obviously very afraid.
When Su Wan saw the pair of cold green pupils, she felt as if a layer of ice water was poured all over her body, and even the soles of her feet were emitting a chill.
Don’t panic!
If you panic, not only will your own life be in danger, but Jiang Xuecheng will also become a meal for the poisonous snake since he is unconscious now!
Su Wan's hands tightly grasped her "weapon", the hairs on her body stood up, and her breathing became rapid.
Should I stay still until the enemy moves, or should I attack the snake first? !
As Su Wan hesitated, a thin layer of sweat seeped out of her fair palms.
Because the broken wounds had not healed, after sweating, Su Wan felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.
Across the dim campfire, a man and a snake confronted each other silently.
Su Wan's brain was working at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Su Wan's mind!
Because no one added firewood to the bonfires, and with the howling sea breeze, Su Wan could already feel the fires getting smaller!
And this trend undoubtedly stimulated the snake that was waiting for the opportunity!
Oops!
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that if the bonfire went out, the snake, which was afraid of flames, would pounce on her without hesitation!
Because he was too nervous and his life was hanging by a thread, Su Wan's knuckles were clenched so tightly that they turned bluish-white.
what to do?!
Su Wan was so flustered that there was even a brief blank in his mind!
And the snake was obviously much calmer than Su Wan.
It narrowed its pupils and saw that the flames in front had weakened a lot. The whole snake then meandered forward, spitting out its tongue from time to time, and was about to pounce on Su Wan!
Su Wan was shocked, and cold sweat dripped down his body!
She knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she finally plucked up her courage, used branches to make a bonfire, and threw the dead branches with sparks directly at the poisonous snake!
The snake obviously didn't expect Su Wan to strike first!
Its body, which was as thick as a bowl, trembled suddenly, and it kept swaying, and it nimbly jumped out of the range of the branch!
However, the tail of the poisonous snake was almost touched by the burning branch!
Snakes are most afraid of fire and heat!
Although this little bit of heat is far from being fatal, it is enough to make the snake angry!
This damn human!
Those dark green vertical pupils originally did not have any emotion, but now they were filled with obvious anger!
It wants this human to die!
…
When Su Wan saw that he had missed his attack, he was so frightened that even his breathing paused!
There was no other way at the moment, Su Wan could only throw the stone he picked up at the snake's weak spot!
But with previous experience, it was not so easy for Su Wan to hit the poisonous snake!
It happened in a flash, and the poisonous snake's eyes flashed with ferocity. It leaped its nimble body and pounced directly towards Su Wan's throat!
It wants to bite off Su Wan's throat!
Su Wan no longer had any usable tools in his hands, and no one knew where he got the courage from, but he actually reached out to grab the venomous snake's head!
She couldn't let this cold-blooded animal bite Jiang Xuecheng!
This belief flashed by in her mind, and Su Wan already felt the slippery feeling in her hands, which almost made her nauseous!
Originally, Su Wan had firmly grasped the snake's head, preventing it from moving. However, because of the feeling of the scales, Su Wan's hand loosened for a moment!
At that moment, the venomous snake raised its head!
A sharp pain instantly spread from Su Wan's shoulder!
