Chapter 256: Severing the Snake’s Tongue
The giant snake was in pain, but it couldn’t do anything to Taotie.
It was like having a fishbone stuck in its throat, impossible to remove. Moreover, the giant snake had no hands or claws, so it couldn’t pull Taotie out of its mouth.
It could only shake its head continuously, hoping to fling Taotie, the annoying little monkey, out of its mouth.
Taotie squatted in the giant snake’s mouth, holding a knife in each hand, the blades deeply embedded in the soft flesh of the snake’s oral cavity, right up to the hilt. No matter how the giant snake shook its head, he remained motionless, as if he had grown inside the snake’s mouth.
Seeing this scene, Tom and Hummingbird secretly gave Taotie a thumbs up, thinking, “Badass!”
Only Taotie would dare to enter the snake’s mouth alone.
Tom and Hummingbird asked themselves, and they didn’t have the courage to play like Taotie.
One wrong move, and they would be flung out by the snake or swallowed alive.
The giant snake stopped shaking its head, exhausted.
It lay on the ground, somewhat tired, but its remaining eye was still full of resentment.
The giant snake blinked from time to time, as if calculating how to get the annoying little monkey out of its mouth.
Seeing that the giant snake had stopped thrashing, Taotie grinned, revealing a very wicked smile.
“Hehe~”
“You beast, you’re not thrashing anymore?”
“Then it’s my turn!”
Taotie stood up with a sneer, but he didn’t pull out his knives.
The pain of pulling out the knives would be a signal to the giant snake.
Hummingbird had told Taotie that this giant snake was an intelligent animal.
As a veteran of the underworld, Taotie naturally knew how terrifying intelligent animals were.
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to pull out the knives.
That would signal to the giant snake that he was about to do something bad.
If he pulled out the knives, it had to be a decisive move!
Taotie wouldn’t act rashly without causing substantial damage to the snake.
Taotie’s eyes darted around, scanning the snake’s oral cavity, looking for a way to give the snake a chilling and exhilarating lesson.
Suddenly!
Taotie’s eyes lit up!
His cunning eyes were fixed on the snake’s tongue.
“Cut that thing off…”
“Wouldn’t that make a good stew…”
Taotie muttered to himself.
Tears involuntarily welled up at the corners of his mouth.
Looking at the snake’s protruding tongue, Taotie’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
“You’re the one!”
Taotie sneered, silently counting the frequency of the snake’s tongue flicking, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Taotie squatted by the knives, lit a cigarette.
He smoked while counting the frequency.
During this time, the giant snake was unusually quiet.
It didn’t move, just stared at Tom.
It seemed to be gathering strength, wanting to give Taotie in its mouth a hard time.
Its only eye flashed with cunning light, not knowing what tricks it was plotting.
Tom and Hummingbird were also enjoying the rare peace, not provoking the snake, just watching it quietly, savoring the brief calm before the storm.
Man and snake, each had their own plans.
They were both plotting against each other.
When the cigarette burned to the butt, Taotie gripped the two knives in his hands, silently counted to three, spat out the cigarette butt, and suddenly pulled out the knives, slashing hard at the snake’s tongue.
With a muffled “plop” sound, blood spurted from the snake’s mouth, and its several-meter-long tongue was instantly severed by Taotie.
With its tongue severed, the giant snake shuddered all over, rolling around in pain. Taotie once again plunged the two knives deep into the snake’s flesh, then lay down, no matter how the snake thrashed, Taotie just gritted his teeth and gripped the knife handles tightly.
Seeing the giant snake rolling on the ground, Tom and Hummingbird were stunned. Was Taotie hugging the snake and biting it inside its mouth?
How could he have hurt the snake so much?
It wasn’t until the giant snake shook its head and spat out its several-meter-long tongue, which landed at their feet, that Tom and Hummingbird realized Taotie had done something big, seriously injuring the snake.
Tom and Hummingbird exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes. Taotie was truly badass, and he had come up with this way to defeat the snake from the inside. This move wouldn’t kill the snake, but it would definitely hurt its vitality. If it dragged on, it might even bleed to death.
Fang Xiaocao, who had just arrived, was also stunned by the sight of the giant snake thrashing on the ground.
Seeing Tom and Hummingbird standing aside watching the show, Fang Xiaocao blinked, hesitated, and didn’t dare to go over, afraid of being slapped to death by the rolling snake’s tail.
Fang Xiaocao took out her communicator and sent a message to Tom.
[Fang Xiaocao: Tom, why is this snake acting crazy? Where’s Taotie?]
Hearing the “beep beep” sound from the communicator, Tom took it out and glanced at it. Seeing that it was Fang Xiaocao’s message, Tom immediately opened the communicator.
Seeing the content of Fang Xiaocao’s message, Tom looked around and soon saw Fang Xiaocao hiding behind a stalactite.
Tom smiled faintly and replied with a message.
[Tom: Princess, Taotie’s in the snake’s mouth. Taotie, the iron-headed fool, is really brave. He jumped into the snake’s mouth and cut off its tongue.]
After sending the message, Tom kicked the bloody tongue at his feet.
Fang Xiaocao, behind the stalactite, was shocked by the message.
She knew Taotie was stubborn, but she didn’t expect him to be this stubborn.
He was really not afraid of death!
He actually dared to go into the snake’s mouth, not afraid of sliding into its stomach.
The giant snake was still thrashing, its huge body breaking countless stalactites. The ground was covered with the snake’s saliva and blood, almost forming a pool of blood. With the snake’s thrashing, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the surrounding rocks a crimson red.
Taotie wasn’t having a good time either. He was being tossed around by the snake, his head and face covered in snake blood. The sticky snake blood, along with Taotie’s vomiting, poured into his mouth. The foul-smelling snake blood stimulated Taotie’s taste buds, making him even more nauseous. He vomited more and more violently, his vision blurry, unable to see anything, smeared with snake blood.
Taotie could only grit his teeth, trying to drink less snake blood, lest he be choked to death by it.
Just then!
The giant snake seemed to be tired of struggling, and the amplitude of its rolling was much smaller, giving Taotie a chance to breathe. But the next second, a large rock suddenly smashed towards Taotie’s head, scaring Taotie into a jump. He hurriedly dodged, but the sharp edges of the rock scratched his arm, and in an instant, Taotie’s arm was covered in blood, leaving a wound of more than ten centimeters.
The rock brushed past Taotie and rolled into the snake’s throat, swallowed by the snake.
“Damn!”
“What’s going on?”
The sharp pain in his arm made Taotie frown, and he couldn’t help but curse.
