Chapter 81 The Great Serpent Who "Knows" Military Strategy!
"That damn thing, it came to mess things up for me!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian was utterly speechless.
I wanted to catch a big snake!
Not a big cat!
However, groundhogs also happen to be on the lynx's diet.
Animals will not refuse food if they can get it without having to hunt hard.
But he was so angry that he immediately jumped down from the tree!
And the lynx's ears were indeed impressive; as soon as Cang Nian started, he heard a sound.
However, while its reaction speed is sufficient, its absolute speed is still insufficient.
In less than a second, Cangnian arrived in front of the lynx, startling it!
But seeing that it was just such a small tiger cub, the lynx felt relieved.
Thankfully, it wasn't a big tiger, otherwise I would have been finished today.
Pa~!
[Ding! Scratching skill proficiency +1! (1000/10000)]
But the next second, it changed its mind.
Although the Cangnian is much smaller than it, as the pinnacle of felines and one of the top three land carnivores, it has a huge innate advantage.
Despite its small size, the old man's claws are actually bigger than those of a lynx!
With a single slap, the lynx, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms, was sent crashing into the tree trunk behind it!
This blow felt like a heavy blow to the lynx, leaving it feeling irritated, short of breath, and almost vomiting blood!
Now, the ease in its eyes turned into terror!
What the hell?
How can this little tiger cub have such great strength?
The lynx, struggling to its feet, saw Cang Nian raise its claws again and fled in a panic, nearly crashing into a tree trunk.
Cang Nian did not pursue them.
In fact, with his current strength, killing a lynx much larger than himself wouldn't be difficult.
But this guy only unintentionally disrupted my plan to catch the giant snake, so there's no need to kill him.
If it's not prey, and there's no irreconcilable conflict, Cang Nian won't kill indiscriminately.
Otherwise, what I just did wouldn't have been a palm strike with the claw blades retracted, but rather a claw strike with the claw blades extended.
With a lynx's fragile defenses, it would be bloodied in an instant.
After driving away the accident, Cang Nian climbed back up the tree.
Ouch~!
Upon seeing Cangnian return, Tiger Brother excitedly barked.
My brother is amazing!
That was a cat so much bigger than my brother, and he chased it away with a single swipe of his paw!
However, thinking that Cangnian had recently hunted a wild boar with his father, Tiger Brother felt that it was nothing.
This lynx is too small compared to a male wild boar!
Even the male wild boar was killed by my brother, and a big cat was scared away. There's nothing to be proud of!
Cangnian had no idea what Tiger Brother was thinking; he simply pressed his paw against Tiger Brother's mouth to keep it from making a sound.
Cang Nian doesn't quite remember the level of hearing in snakes.
But it's always good to be careful and not make any noise.
Another half hour passed.
Shasha~!
Just then, a rustling sound came from under the bushes.
"Hopefully they're not here to cause trouble..."
The old man's spirits lifted, and he quickly looked over.
This time, he was not disappointed.
A rather large head, slightly pointed at the front, flat overall, and entirely black, emerged from the bushes.
Then, a sturdy, evenly shaped body emerged from behind the head and slowly crawled towards the groundhog carcass under the tree.
Upon arriving at the groundhog carcass, the large creature flicked its tongue, seemingly assessing its size, before finally opening its mouth after a while.
Its mouth opened 120 degrees and swallowed the groundhog's carcass headfirst.
"Holy crap...so cool...isn't that a Black King Serpent? It's huge!"
Seeing the giant snake that had finally been lured out, Cangnian sighed inwardly.
In his past life, he was an orphan and had few friends, so he was quite interested in many pets.
Besides the more common cats, dogs, birds, fish, and turtles, he also paid attention to reptiles for a while.
Among them, the one he liked the most was the Black King Snake!
This snake is non-venomous, but it has immunity to the venom of other snake species.
Its striking all-black appearance makes it the dream snake for many reptile enthusiasts.
Of course, a poor guy like Cangnian can't even afford to keep cats and dogs, so he naturally doesn't have the means to keep such exotic pets. He can only watch videos online and enjoy the virtual breeding experience.
However, this snake is actually a pet snake introduced from abroad, and there should be no wild species in China.
"I guess some big dog owner didn't close the feeding box properly, and the dog escaped..."
After figuring out what kind of snake it was, Cang Nian relaxed considerably.
After all, what makes snakes most frightening is their venom.
Non-venomous snakes pose a significantly reduced threat.
Don't be fooled by its 30-centimeter width; it can be nearly 10 meters long.
But his actual weight will not exceed 200 kilograms.
Compared to the Tiger Dad, it is far weaker.
"However, it might be quite fast. In order to deal with it in one go, I should go down first and distract it."
At my speed, as long as I'm careful, there shouldn't be any danger.
Then let the tiger dad catch it when it's not paying attention!
Seeing this, Cangnian already had a concrete plan in mind.
Immediately, Cangnian gave Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother a wink and then ran down from the tree.
Swish~!
Sensing movement around it, the black king snake jerked and pulled its head back as it was swallowing a groundhog.
Immediately, its eyes, as black as the night sky, looked at Cang Nian.
Then, it stopped swallowing, raised its front half and lowered its head, spitting out the groundhog.
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian tensed up, ready to jump away at any moment.
This guy is very clear-headed. He knows that his most powerful weapon is his mouth, and he also knows that forcibly swallowing his prey will affect the subsequent battle.
This is a black king snake that's just as intelligent as a wild boar!
Faced with such an enemy, Cang Nian dared not be careless in the slightest.
But then, after spitting out the groundhog, the black king snake used its large head to push the groundhog's corpse towards Cang Nian.
It was as if it thought the old man wanted to eat the groundhog, so it gave up its prey.
"What's going on? Feigning weakness to lower my guard so they can deliver a fatal blow?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian became even more vigilant.
Wow, are all these evolved beasts this smart now?
Can one master the Thirty-Six Stratagems of War without needing guidance from others?
Having figured out the Black King Serpent's intentions, Cang Nian remained motionless.
Maintaining the status quo!
At this moment, the Black King Snake noticed that Cangnian wasn't coming to eat the groundhog, so it used its big head to push the groundhog's corpse until it reached Cangnian.
"Hmph! Under the guise of letting me have the prey, you subtly approached me. Did you think I wouldn't notice?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian sneered inwardly.
