Chapter 20 Be Prepared
While digging, Yi Hongyue came over with two servants and asked, "Chief Qian, there is another thing to ask. How long does it take for this big snake to be stabbed from the belly to death?"
Qian Xiaoxing thought about it and replied: "This question is really difficult. If it hits the key point, it will probably take less than an hour. If not, it will probably be possible in three or five days."
Yi Hongyue also agreed and said, "Yes, I think so too, so I can't let the tribe members hide in the pit for three or five days. This time I organized a suicide squad with more than ten people. If the snake does not die immediately, these people will lure the snake into the trap. Let's roast the snake. However, if you don't participate, the snake cannot be considered as being killed by you, you..."
When Qian Xiaoxing heard this, he wanted to take the risk of seducing the big snake himself. However, last time he saw the big snake swimming was not fast, so he still had a chance if he wanted to run away, so he asked, "How do you plan to roast the big snake?"
"Let's do this, I'll take you to see a place." As Yi Hongyue said that, she took Qian Xiaoxing to a valley beside the village. Qian Xiaoxing saw that there was a low-lying place in the middle of the valley, and the area was covered with black water-like substances. She asked in confusion: "What are what?"
"This is tincture oil. There are many in the valleys in the distance. When the fire is touched, it will burn. I asked someone to pick it up and put it here. When we lure the snake to come here, the snake is covered with tincture oil, we throw the torch and roast the snake in a fire." Yi Hongyue finished her plan.
Qian Xiaoxing walked over and looked at the turmeric oil that Yi Hongyue said in confusion. The black ones would burn, and that could only be oil. I didn’t expect that there was still natural oil here. This oil is really a good thing. Qian Xiaoxing was also very satisfied with Yi Hongyue’s plan and asked in confusion: “Then why didn’t you do this before?”
"This plan has been around for a long time, but the snake has never taken the bait. We can't lure it. After trying it a few times, several people died. I guess at least it can anger the snake, and the success rate will be much higher." Yi Hongyue explained.
"Okay, just follow this plan, but I'll get familiar with the bottom lane first." Then Qian Xiaoxing walked the village to this valley several times, and confirmed that he would not get lost, so he felt at ease. For Qian Xiaoxing, a super road fool, if he went in the wrong direction, the consequences would be very serious.
Two days later, the households in the village had dug the pit. Since the pond where the big snake is located in the village is not far away, only one or two miles away, Yi Hongyue had arranged people to stare at it day and night. Once the snake is found, she would blow the horn to notify the villagers to hide.
Waiting for the arrival of the big snake, this mood is very complicated, just like a girl in her first love waiting for her boyfriend, afraid that he will not come, and afraid that he will do whatever he wants.
Qian Xiaoxing also improved this seduction plan, and also got to know each other with the ten brave suicide squad members of the Yimu clan and cooperated with the drill. In order to successfully borrow troops, Qian Xiaoxing did not care about the danger of his life and had no choice but to take a risk. Xujie also joined the suicide squad. It seems that this person is really brave.
Until the sixth day after the snake ate two sheep, the horn sounded from the pond, and the people in the village suddenly ran around in panic, wanting to run home and hide in the pit as soon as possible.
Qian Xiaoxing, Lu Shengzhong and ten tribesmen stood at the entrance of the village with weapons in their hands, and looked nervously at the direction of the pond. After a while, the tribesmen in the village disappeared, and the whole village suddenly became quiet. Qian Xiaoxing's men were sweating. They were looking at the direction of the pond but saw Yi Hongyue and Bi Yao running over.
Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? Here is a dangerous place."
"I am the patriarch, I want to lead everyone to kill the snake." Yi Hongyue said with a long sword in her hand.
"Aren't we there? Go back quickly. How can women do such a dangerous thing?" Qian Xiaoxing persuaded.
After hearing this, Yi Hongyue shook her head, but she was still very grateful for Qian Xiaoxing's concern. However, this action was too important. If she could kill the snake, she could increase her prestige and her position as a patriarch would be more consolidated. So she refused and said, "I am the patriarch. If I don't come to kill the snake, I can't explain to the entire clan. You don't have to persuade me anymore."
"You..." Qian Xiaoxing sighed helplessly and could only say: "Then be careful and don't take risks."
While talking, Lu Shengzhong shouted: "The big snake is here!"
Qian Xiaoxing looked around and saw a big snake in the distance swiming rapidly with its triangular head. Its mouth was spitting out a snake letter, but it was covered with blood. It seemed that the inside was injured. There were two obvious protrusions in the middle of the snake's body like an oil barrel, and it was pushed up by a sharp object, which should be caused by the bow that was eaten. However, because the snake's skin was strong, it could not be pierced and could only be raised there.
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the distance nervously, and waited for the snake to be more than twenty meters away from everyone, shouting: "Retreat!"
All the personnel immediately retreated to the valley. When the big snake saw it, it did not chase Qian Xiaoxing and others, but swam into the village. The snake's head swayed and pushed the hut down, pushing it all the way down, looking for people everywhere in the ruins. Qian Xiaoxing saw that the big snake was not chasing it. It seemed that the big snake also had some IQ and knew that they were prepared. Fortunately, this might have been expected, so he said, "Oil tank, go!"
The ten tribesmen behind stopped and each held a can in their hands full of oil. After hearing this, they lit the oil tank with a torch and leaned up to the snake. After reaching more than ten meters, they threw the oil tank towards the snake's body. The oil tank broke, and the oil in the tank spilled on the snake's body, burning wildly.
The snake had not reacted at first, and it was not until it was burned by the flames that it turned back and quickly rushed towards everyone.
"Remove!" Qian Xiaoxing issued the order again, and everyone spread their legs and ran quickly.
The snake scared Qian Xiaoxing and others away, and rolled on the ground. Most of the flames on their bodies were extinguished, but they also burned to the point of blue smoke.
The snake opened its bloody mouth, and the two poisonous fangs on its upper jaw flashed with cold light, looking extremely ferocious. It stood up and its head was about two meters high. It twisted its body and quickly chased Qian Xiaoxing and others.
Qian Xiaoxing was looking back and saw a lot of blood spitting out of the Orochi's mouth. He looked very scary and his legs were so scared that they became weak. He suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. Lu Shengzhong hurriedly helped Qian Xiaoxing up and dragged Qian Xiaoxing forward quickly.
Yi Hongyue ran and said, "Everyone has done a good job. Just now, the snake's internal organs were cut a lot. If they continue to be entangled, they will definitely not live long."
While talking, the snake was already twisting its body and chasing it quickly. Qian Xiaoxing and others ran another sprint, ran past the oil pool, and waited for the snake to swim over and wait for it to swim into the oil pool to ignite it.
The snake was already furious at this time. It endured the knife in its belly and the fire wounds on its body. It raised its head high and made a hissing sound. It swam to the edge of the oil pool, but did not swim in, but bypassed the oil pool and chased after it.
Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect that the snake was so intelligent, but fortunately it was sufficiently prepared. There was a row of oil tanks on the ground behind. He immediately picked up two tanks of oil and asked everyone to spread it out to attack.
Everyone picked up the oil tanks and flexibly dodged the big snake's pursuit around the oil pool. They took the time to throw the oil tank onto the big snake. Qian Xiaoxing also threw two cans onto the snake and shouted: "Torch!"
Two tribesmen threw the torch onto the snake, and the flames suddenly burned on the snake's body. The snake was in pain and pursued it even harder, faster. Suddenly, they swam towards Yi Hongyue. Seeing this, Qian Xiaoxing immediately shouted: "Let the spear!"
More than ten people picked up the prepared spears and threw them into the snake's body. The original hard scales of the snake were gone after the fire. The sharp spear suddenly penetrated into the snake's body. The sharp spear was also specially made. There was a cross-shaped barb in front and a rope tied to the back.
The pointed spear pierced behind the snake, and everyone pulled the rope one after another. A few of them quickly tied the rope to the tree next to it. Just as the snake was chasing Yi Hongyue was getting closer and closer, the rope finally straightened, the snake's advance stopped, Qian Xiaoxing commanded to throw a batch of spears, and the rope behind the spear continued to be tied to the tree.
At this time, more than ten more spears had been inserted into one side of the snake's body, and the straightened ropes overlapped with each other. The more than ten spears effectively restrained the snake's movement. The snake was still twisting its body and trying to break the spear free. Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly asked everyone to go around to the other side, threw the spear and straightened the rope.
There were spears on both sides of the snake's body, and they were dragged by ropes. At this point, the snake could no longer swim, but the body more than ten meters ahead could still move freely, swaying left and right to swallow the people close.
