Chapter 40: A rock can sink a boat; a rock can kill a snake.

  The stone fell lightly to the ground near the five-step snake and bounced twice with a "thud".

  It felt the vibration transmitted from the ground, and slowly turned its triangular head while spitting out a core. Its icy gaze fell on Wang Yang's body.

  "Hiss... Whoosh..."

  It slightly opened its mouth, and a bright red oral cavity issued a warning sound. Its head was raised, and its body arched up.

  Wang Yang completely ignored its warning and approached with a long wooden spear, stopping eight meters away.

  This distance allows oneself to have a certain reaction time while putting some pressure on the five-step snake, making it a relatively safe area.

  The five-step snake saw Wang Yang not retreating but advancing, and with a "hiss" sound, its head suddenly lifted up, its tail quickly slapping the ground, issuing more warnings.

  In response to this intense intimidation, Wang Yang narrowed his eyes without showing any fear.

  Instead, he lifted his foot again and moved forward lightly.

  He didn't know if doing so would thoroughly infuriate the Five Steps Snake, but wasn't it said that snakes also fear humans? Being a bit tougher might make it submit.

  Of course, the reason why snakes are afraid of humans in later generations is because human destructive power is too great.

  In those days, apemen had not yet developed that destructive power, and it's hard to say whether the snake was afraid of humans or not.

  One careless move and I became a negative example in the textbook.

  Wang Yang naturally didn't have the awareness of being a negative teaching material, not that he didn't want to be one, but rather no one recorded it. Moreover, when something falls into his hands so naturally, can't just let it go without putting up a fight, right?

  "Want to eat my food? Bring out some real skills!"

  Wang Yang secretly told himself a few words of encouragement and arrived at the six-meter mark, extending his wooden spear to swing it back and forth.

  The five-step snake did not move, only a low hiss, with an unpleasant gaze, and it seemed to be ignoring the wooden spear.

  Wang Yang walked a few steps forward again, his eyes fixed on the five-step snake's neck, secretly calculating where the seven-inch mark was.

  Suddenly, the snake's head stretched out in Wang Yang's direction with a sudden flash of lightning speed, scaring Wang Yang so much that his whole body retreated several steps, waving the wooden spear in his hand left and right.

  Waited for a moment, the five-step snake was still in place. Hurriedly lowered my gaze and took a glance at my body, didn't find any wound. Also carefully sensed my body and mind, didn't feel any pain from being bitten. Only then understood that the five-step snake had made a probing attack.

  Wiping away the fine sweat on his forehead, Wang Yang slowly moved forward again, calling out to the five-step snake while reaching for a stone in his waistband.

  He didn't dare to get too close to the five-step snake, fearing that it would spray venom on his face. Moreover, its sudden attack speed was too fast, and he estimated that his reaction would be half a beat slower. It's better to choose a long-range attack.

  He stopped within a seven-meter radius, not advancing any further. With his left hand holding the wooden spear and his right hand grasping the stone, he suddenly jerked his wrist, sending the stone flying swiftly to strike the Five-Step Snake's head with a loud "crack".

  "Hiss... Whoosh..."

  The five-step snake refused to leave the wooden bucket and suddenly became violent, its body wriggling as it drew closer to Wang Yang by one or two meters.

  Wang Yang didn't say a word, retreated two meters, picked up another stone and threw it again.

  "Bang!" The poor eyesight of the five-step snake couldn't dodge this attack, their thermal sensing system was completely unable to determine where the cold stone was.

  They can't dodge it even if they see the stone clearly.

  Since this trick is so useful, Wang Yang naturally wouldn't waste it. One after another, he threw stones and crazily smashed them towards the Five-Step Snake.

  "Hiss~"

  The five-step snake was furious and suddenly pounced on Wang Yang.

  Wang Yang's face changed greatly, his hand instinctively shook, and the wooden spear swung out, hitting the half-flying Five-Step Snake several meters away, smashing it into a large tree and then falling to the ground.

  The five-step snake quickly coiled its body under the tree, seemingly dazed and disoriented, adjusting its position.

  Wang Yang didn't have time to think about the danger just now, threw away the wooden spear in his hand, walked aside and picked up a big stone.

  That rock was as big as a watermelon, its destructive power doesn't need to be said, after Wang Yang picked it up, he rushed to about five meters from the snake and fiercely smashed it down.

  With a "thud", the python's waist was directly smashed into mush, it moved its body, and the place where it was hit by the big stone became flat, fresh blood, gastric juice, and undigested animal carcasses all gushed out, extremely disgusting.

  The five-step snake still rushed towards Wang Yang, completely unaffected by the severe injury.
