Chapter 64 Ophiophagus Hannah

Even so, the backpack behind him quickly bulged. When he saw the rarer herbs, he had to reluctantly throw away the herbs he collected before, and constantly went forward to find the Triostar.

As time went by, with the roots of green aloe prepared by Ding Ning for replenishing water, she didn’t feel so stuffy. Besides, she also had enough dried fruits for food. Thus, she was refreshed again.

Although Xiao Nuo remained frosty, she increasingly admired Ding Ning.

There were many kinds of herbs that she couldn’t tell their differences at all, while Ding Ning was very familiar with their pesticide effects, functions, growth environments and which class they belonged to. It greatly widened her knowledge.

After letting go of the shackles, Xiao Nuo humbly asked Ding Ning for the advice on how to survive in the rainforest.

Ding Ning’s patient explanation greatly widened Xiao Nuo’s horizon and made her realize how shallow and ignorant she had been.

For example, a stick insect disguised itself as a branch. A Deinagkistrodon was ugly and good at disguising itself. It hid itself under the leaves and ambushed the small mammals that passed by. A poison dart frog was brightly colored but secreted extremely toxic venom. A venus flytrap secreted sweet liquid on its leaves. Once an insect touched the hairs on its leaves, it would immediately close its two leaves to catch it and secreted the digestive juice to digest it (”eat it”)…

“What does the Triostar look like?”

Xiao Nuo got a little impatient and finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Triostar, with aliases including Jiadu tree, Jiabu and scissors tree, has red-green leaves and a slender body, shaped like a grass.”

Ding Ning then said, while keeping looking around with his eagle-like eyes.

“It’s a large area, and the Triostar is so small. How can we find it? Monkey can only hold on for forty-eight hours. Now more than ten hours have passed, can we find it?”

Xiao Nuo said with some frustration.

“Do not worry, it is not that difficult to find it. I said that all things counteract each other. The antidote of any poison can be found within seven steps. Although the Triostar is a small target, the Antiaris Toxicaria Lesch is not a small target.”

Ding Ning confidently explained.

Xiao Nuo’s eyes suddenly lit up. She said, “Yeah, why didn’t I think that we could find the Triostar as long as we find the Antiaris Toxicaria Lesch.”

“Oh, the captain of the special police team is not too stupid!”

Ding Ning didn’t want to frustrate her anymore, but he still turned around and teased.

Xiao Nuo passed by a tall arbor. On hearing his words, she rolled her eyes and said coquettishly like a little woman, “Fine, you are the smartest.”

“Don’t move!” As Ding Ning’s face suddenly changed, he froze there, fixedly staring at the top of Xiao Nuo’s head.

From Ding Ning’s face, Xiao Nuo felt that she was in great danger. She felt numb in the scalp, stopped the movement of lifting her right foot and said in a trembling voice, “What… what’s wrong?”

Ding Ning gently pulled out a Swiss army knife from his waist, held his breath and approached Xiao Nuo on tiptoe.

Xiao Nuo felt parched and swallowed her saliva. She asked softly, “What happened?”

“Shush, don’t move, there is a snake!”

Ding Ning accumulated his strength like a cheetah that was about to prey. He tightened the streamlined muscles on his arms, slightly bent his knees and stared at the top of Xiao Nuo’s head without blinking.

Xiao Nuo trembled all over and almost fell to the ground. Girls naturally had a fear of disgusting animals like snakes and rats, and even a special policewoman was no exception.

At the thought that a slippery and cold snake hovering above her head was about to give her a deadly stroke at any time, Xiao Nuo was overcome with horror. It was enough for her to be proud that she could resist her terror and prevent herself from screaming and escaping.

Just when she pinned all her hopes on Ding Ning, Ding Ning suddenly moved.

Xiao Nuo couldn’t describe the feeling in that moment. He was so fast, incredibly fast.

In her eyes, Ding Ning suddenly disappeared like a lightning bolt… No, he was faster than a lightning bolt, so fast that she couldn’t capture his image with the naked eye.

Then as a few drops of warm liquid flowed down along her neck to her back, she was pulled by an irresistible force and put in an embrace that made her feel warm and familiar.

“Hiss…”

A hideous white snake fell to the ground, with a faint glint in its long and cold pupils. The glint faded away after it unwillingly stuck out its tongue twice.

The huge snake which was nearly four meters long twisted and hit the land fiercely, making “squeaky” sounds. The splashing blood stained the nearby plants, which looked catastrophic and flamboyant and faded away after a long while.

The strong fear made Xiao Nuo unaware that she was tightly holding Ding Ning’s waist, trembling with fear which made her anxious to throw herself into his arms and looking at this white horrifying snake with scarcely concealed fear in her eyes.

Ding Ning was able to feel her inner fear from her trembling body. He gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, “It’s okay. It has been dead.”

Xiao Nuo was still suffering from the shock, “What kind of snake is this? Cobra? Why is it white?”

“It is called Ophiophagus Hannah, the longest snake in the world, as well as the largest proteroglyphous snake in the world. It has always been regarded as the most dangerous snake in the world by people. In fact, it is not a member of the Cobra genus, but belongs to the independent King Cobra genus. Compared with other cobras, it’s more fierce, extremely responsive, flexible in turning its head and neck, and excretes a large amount of venom. It is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. The Ophiophagus Hannah usually feeds on other snakes, and it contains anti-toxic serum, so when other snakes bite it, it will be safe. Therefore, the Ophiophagus Hannah is also called “the buster of snakes.”

After a brief introduction, Ding Ning earnestly told her, “Snake is myopic with no tympanic membrane in its ears, so it’s barely responsive to the sounds coming from the air. It mainly uses its tongue to recognize the natural enemies and seek food. If you meet an Ophiophagus Hannah next time and it does not attack you, just don’t disturb it, especially don’t vibrate the ground. You had better wait for it to escape, or wait for rescue.”

Xiao Nuo’s tears were about to fall down. She lifted her fists to punch Ding Ning in the chest, “I don’t want to meet it again. I don’t want to meet it again in my life.”

After several punches, she found that she still snuggled in Ding Ning’s arms, and her intimate behavior looked like acting coquettish in front of her boyfriend. Thus, she hurriedly pushed away Ding Ning and looked down to avoid staring at him, with her face turning red and butterflies in her stomach.

She secretly cursed, “Xiao Nuo, are you an easy girl? How can you fall in love with every man you meet?”

“Don’t be silly. Man is none of good things. You Xumo is no exception, and so is Ding Ning. They just want to take liberties with me.”

When she looked up again, she had regained her frosty face which kept strangers a long distance away. She blankly watched Ding Ning take out a glass bottle, hold a disgusting snake head and collect the toxin joyfully.

It made Xiao Nuo feel sick. She couldn’t help but asked in a cold voice, “What are you doing?”

“The venom of the Ophiophagus Hannah is a good thing. Its venom contains neurotoxin as well as cardiotoxin. Once the toxin enters human body, it would quickly attack the central nervous system of the bitten person and cause symptoms like severe pain, visual impairment, dizziness, lethargy, paralysis etc. The injured person will enter the shock state due to the collapse of the cardiovascular system and eventually die from respiratory failure and heartbeat deceleration. There are clinical cases which show that kidney failure is also likely to happen on the bitten person.”

Ding Ning explained with delight, “Its venom can be used in all kinds of soreness, gynecological tumor and cancer. Ophiophagus Hannah is a special economic animal with high value. Every part of it is treasure. Its skin, meat, blood, gallbladder and snake venom have different medicinal values. In particular, snake venom is an animal medicinal material that is extremely short in the current international market and known as “liquid gold” in the international market. With a price a few dozen times higher than gold, it’s still in short supply. ”

Xiao Nuo looked disgusted, stared at the Ophiophagus Hannah’s body which looked like suffering from vitiligo, and whispered, “It’s so ugly. What can it be used for even if it’s so valuable?”

Ding Ning seriously said, “Perhaps it is an ugly snake in your eyes, but in my eyes, it is a priceless treasure. Let me explain it to you. Its gallbladder has the effects of soothing Qi and reducing phlegm, dispelling wind and moisture, clearing liver and improving vision, as well as appeasing the gallbladder and diffusing wind. It can be used to treat respiratory diseases such as acute and chronic bronchitis, whooping cough, etc., as well as various diseases such as rheumatic pain, convulsions in children, stroke in the elderly, etc. In addition to treating arthralgia and arthrentasis, the snake blood also has the effect of ‘increasing white’. The snake viscera is mainly used to treat tuberculosis. The snake venom preparation can be used to treat cancer, various neuralgia, poliomyelitis and its sequelae, extrapyramidal neural paralysis, hemophilia, etc. The snake oil is mostly used to treat frostbite, burns, chronic eczema, etc. The dried snake and snake meat have the effects of dispelling wind and detoxification, calming and relieving pain, etc. They can be used to treat rheumatism and spleen pain, numbness of limbs, hemiplegia, etc. Unfortunately, we don’t know where its nest is, otherwise we can find its snake slough. The snake slough is called ‘dragon clothes’ in traditional Chinese medicine, with the effects of dispelling wind, improving vision, detoxification, disinsection, etc. It’s often used to treat a variety of intractable diseases such as scabies, toxic swelling and herpes zoster, etc.”

Xiao Nuo still respected medicine a lot. On hearing that the Ophiophagus Hannah’s body could cure so many diseases, she was moved and asked modestly, “What does increasing white mean?”

“Increasing white means increasing white blood cells. Drugs of increasing white can mainly stimulate the hematopoietic cells of the bone marrow to accelerate the production of white blood cells and maintain the body’s immunity.”

Ding Ning explained patiently to Xiao Nuo.

Xiao Nuo suddenly understood and could not help but marvel, “I didn’t expect this stinky snake could be so incredible.”

Ding Ning dug up the gallbladder of the snake and collected a little blood of it. He regretfully said, “Unfortunately this snake is so big that I can’t take it away.”

Xiao Nuo fully agreed with him and nodded, “Yeah, we have been walking for hours, and we can’t take it away.”

“What about eating its meat?”

Ding Ning’s eyes lit up. He excitedly walked around the snake, seemingly wondering how to start turning it into a meal, with an evil expression.

“Oh, it’s so disgusting! You can eat it on your own. I don’t want to eat it anyway.”

Xiao Nuo was obviously very resistant to snakes, and looked disgusted.

Ding Ning didn’t care about that. He took out the army knife and started to dig the snake meat, “If you don’t eat it, don’t regret it.”

Xiao Nuo wanted to ignore his words, but suddenly recalled the bug repelling grass. She moved her lips twice without saying resolute words. May there be any effect of the snake meat?

“Come on, help me find some firewood, and I will go to get some water. Let’s have a picnic. I promise you will praise it unceasingly and never regret it after eating it!”

Ding Ning began to drool, took the snake meat which he had just cut down and went into the forest.

Xiao Nuo was a little scared and raised her voice to ask, “Where are you going?”

“I am going to clean the snake meat. We can’t make soup, but we can roast the snake meat.”

Ding Ning shouted and quickly disappeared into the forest.
