Chapter 50 Poisonous Snake
Xu Xin glanced at the foot of the hills, where the group of wild boars were living.
A hundred meters further forward, there was a herd of cattle that looked very strong. The bull's ferocious horns and huge body were more intimidating than the wild boar's tusks.
A few wild deer and foxes can be seen faintly in the forest.
Xu Xin could also see the big orange tiger that suddenly jumped out of the forest. From time to time, bursts of wolf howls could be heard in the distance.
"...Forget it." Xu Xin gave up, it was too dangerous. At least wait until he goes back and makes a crossbow and has a long-range attack method before he considers entering this area.
There may be a chance to fight the beasts in close combat, one-on-one. There are so many beasts. If he accidentally attracts several of them, even Xu Xin wearing iron armor will not be able to hold them back.
Although he does not plan to go deep into this area, Xu Xin does not want to go back now.
He also wants to hunt a few more beasts and obtain more animal tendons and skins, but he still has too few materials now.
Wild boar is a more suitable hunting target. It would be better if you could see a lone wolf. Under the protection of the iron armor, a single wolf would do basically no harm to Xu Xin.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find a wolf to ride on. His mount contract was always with him.
Although wolves are weak in individual combat, they have excellent endurance. When hunting, they basically chase sheep and deer until the prey falls or collapses from exhaustion. They are adapted to running long distances and are very suitable as mounts. .
He observed the beasts below and the red dots on the map, but did not find any lone wolves. The wild boars seemed to be all gathered together because their companions had been hunted, and no one was alone.
"This is a bit troublesome. If we have long-range weapons and can secretly seduce a few of them, this iron skin and spear can only be used forcefully." Xu Xin was a little helpless.
After some ideological struggle, Xu Xin gritted his teeth and decided to enter the scope of this resource area, but not go deep, just wander around the periphery to see what opportunities there were.
The material is just one piece off, which is really uncomfortable.
Xu Xin did not go down secretly, but chose a place far away from the wild boar herd, walked down the hill openly and entered the resource area. After all, it was useless even if he was careful, the clothes on his body would make noise.
The interior of the ringed hills is also a jungle, but the most different thing from Xu Xin's side is that the jungle here is full of life, and all kinds of wild animals are shuttled through the jungle.
This side is more like a real jungle.
Xu Xin saw many wild animals that he had never seen before.
Then a hare suddenly scurried past him, burrowed into the grass and disappeared. The rabbit was so fat that Xu Xin swallowed on the spot.
"When I make the crossbow, I'll practice with this rabbit!"
"Hey." Coco suddenly patted Xu Xin with her little paw and pointed to the left front.
Xu Xin looked over and squinted for a long time before seeing what Coco was pointing at.
I saw a three-finger-thick snake lurking on the rock over there. The color of the snake was very similar to the rock. It was lying on the rock and almost integrated with the rock. If Coco hadn't reminded him, Xu Xin might not have noticed it at all.
Because of the giant anaconda in the lake, Xu Xin is now more sensitive to snakes, and subconsciously wants to take a detour, but then he thinks about it, he is wearing iron armor now, and there is a high probability that the snake will not be able to break his defense.
"Keke, you stay here, I'll kill that snake." Xu Xin reminded Keke softly.
Snake meat, snake skin, snake venom, snake gallbladder, those are all good things.
"Huh." Coco whispered back, and then climbed up a nearby tree in a few moments, lying on the branch and looking at him.
This little guy was not afraid of such a big wild boar before, but he was quite afraid of snakes.
Xu Xin is the exact opposite of Coco. Wild boars may be able to hurt him, but snakes are basically impossible.
As if he hadn't noticed the snake, he walked past the rock where the snake lurked.
The iron sheet made a sound, and under Xu Xin's peripheral vision, the rock-like snake moved slightly, and then suddenly burst out!
Coming!
Xu Xin did not reach out to block it, because his hands were not protected, but all other parts except his hands were wrapped in iron sheets.
The rock snake wrapped directly around his leg and bit Xu Xin's leggings with a crisp sound.
Then there was the sound of something breaking. The snake made a huffing sound and fell to the ground and began to twist.
This snake's teeth were broken directly by the armor!
Xu Xin quickly raised her iron-booted foot and stepped hard on the three-finger-thick snake's seven inches.
It is said to be seven inches, but it is actually the heart. Xu Xin had heard that the heart of a snake is located slightly lower than the head.
He stepped on it with one foot and stepped hard on the snake's head with the other foot!
The snake's body twisted wildly under its feet and wrapped around Xu Xin's legs. Within a few seconds, it stopped moving.
Xu Xin stepped on the snake head and Qicun twice as a habit, and took out the stone spear and stabbed it twice to make up for it.
"Wearing iron armor to deal with these small beasts is really as easy as killing a chicken."
After confirming that the three-finger-thick snake was dead, Xu Xin took out the boning knife.
This snake didn't look long when it was coiled up, but after Xu Xin unfolded it, it was nearly two and a half meters long. With the snake's body being three fingers thick, it looked a little scary.
Coco has also jumped down from the tree and curiously turned over the snake's body with her little paws.
"Don't move. Maybe he's not dead yet. He'll jump up and bite you!" Xu Xin threatened.
"Hey!" Coco was frightened and jumped directly onto Xu Xin's shoulder, making him laugh.
The snake's body was decomposed in just a few cuts.
[Obtain exquisite snake skin (blue)*1, poison sac (green)*1, snake meat*15kg, snake gallbladder (green)*1, snake tendon (green)*1]
Shipped!
After Bear’s Paw, another blue-level resource appears!
It’s a blue grade animal skin!
Animal skins now have two main functions: making backpacks and making leather armor. I glanced at the production station before and found that the materials for leather armor are animal skin and animal bones.
Xu Xin, who had already made blue-grade iron armor, originally thought that he no longer needed leather armor, but judging from today's practice, iron armor was only suitable for frontal conflicts.
If he wanted to hunt vigilant and fast herbivores in the future, such as deer, sheep, rabbits, etc., or if he wanted to sneak in without alerting snakes, the iron armor would probably be of no help.
If possible, he would also like to make a set of blue-grade leather armor.
Of course, the blue-level animal skin in hand should be used to make a blue-level backpack first.
Xu Xin looked at other materials.
[Poison sac (green): It contains all the venom of a poisonous snake, which can be used to make poisonous arrows or quench poison for weapons. 】
[Snake gallbladder (green): The gallbladder of poisonous snakes can be used as medicine, wine, and edible. It is a precious material! Process it as soon as possible or it will lose its effect. 】
Poison sacs can be used to make poison arrows! Poison arrows are a big killer!
If it is an ordinary crossbow, if it misses the vital point, it will basically not cause much damage to the beast, but it is different with poison arrows. It will cause damage if the skin is broken, and at least it can restrict the movement of the beast.
Xu Xin did not expect that his crossbow would have advanced even before it was made.
As for the snake gall, it seems to be a medicinal material, but he doesn't know what the snake gall has, but he has heard that it is quite precious. He doesn't have any wine now, and he can't make wine. He should dry it and store it after he returns. He heard that snake gall can be dried and stored.
After taking a look into the depths of the jungle, Xu Xin stopped moving forward.
Now that he has obtained three animal sinews and a blue animal skin, this hunting has been completed, and he does not want to risk himself anymore and move forward. Thank you [Yishaan] for another reward of 1,500 starting coins, thank you, thank you, thank you!
