Chapter 40: Strange Things Have Strange Actions
"Strengthen its defense and its toxicity. The toxicity is based on the blue-ringed sea snake as the template." Shi Lei's choice difficulty was also brought over from his previous life. After a long time of struggling, he chose the transformation direction of the little snake.
It seems that this iron wire snake also has a lot of room for growth, and the system has accepted all Shi Lei’s requests.
The biggest feature and strength of the iron wire snake is its tough skin, which naturally needs to be strengthened in this regard.
Other characteristics: strong strength is definitely not as good as the Internet-patterned python, or rock python. It relies solely on body shape and strength to strangle opponents. The fast speed is at most the level of African black mamba.
These are easy to use against small animals. If Shi Lei's backup method is used, the attack power will be too poor and its effect will be very limited. Since it is toxic, Shi Lei naturally chose to strengthen this ability.
The Blue Ring Sea Snake is the most toxic among all known snakes. Half of the lethal doses, that is, the sum of venom required to kill half of the experimental mice in the laboratory, this poison king only needs 0.01 mg of amount to achieve, which is simply terrifying.
Fortunately, this kind of sea snake generally did not attack people in his previous life. More importantly, its poisonous fangs are relatively short, and it takes some effort to pierce human skin.
But now, Shi Lei's enemies are about to have a headache. This little guy's poisonous fangs are not short, and it is not a problem to easily take away the enemy's life with a strong toxic venom.
After the transformation began, the wounds on the poor little snake's body naturally healed quickly. Even the skin that had been split was healed.
But Shi Lei always felt that this little guy seemed to be getting smaller, and his skin didn't seem to grow toward both sides, but it seemed to shrink with the flesh.
"Will this iron wire snake shrink?" Shi Lei quickly asked the knowledgeable hunter uncle.
"Yes. Legend has it that something like the iron wire snake is different from other snakes. Every time it grows, the body will become stronger, the faster the speed will be, the stronger the strength will be, but the smaller the body will be.
Other snakes shed their skin because the snake skin restricts the body from getting bigger, so they will break the snake skin and grow new skin.
On the contrary, the iron wire snake will leave a complete snake shed after it grows a tougher new skin, just like lifting a quilt and sliding directly out of the old snake skin.
The weapons made of iron wire snakes I have seen are actually all of these snake sheds, and of course they are not the toughest snake skin.
The fully mature iron-wire snake has too short body, so the snake skin cannot be made into a bowstring. Therefore, the snake skin shed by this little guy must be kept.
I know some ways to tann this thing, and I can just go back and make a five-stone strong bow for you. This material is much better than expected, and it saves you from using my baby all the time." After the hunter uncle finished explaining, he sat back and continued to discuss things with the uncles in a low voice.
The little guy whose body healed had crawled on Shi Lei's neck, biting his tail with his mouth, and it turned into a closed ring, hanging around Shi Lei's neck like a necklace.
It seems that the temperature here is just right, making the iron wire snake the cold-blooded animal the most comfortable. After finding the position, the snake became lazy and did not want to move. This was probably the normal state before molting.
You know, Shi Lei has such a personalized necklace on his neck, which looks much more fashionable and fashionable.
But Daimao and Xiaojin were a little unhappy. The new guy came to seize the already small territory with him and jumped there for a long time.
Seeing that Shi Lei had no intention of changing his mind, he stopped. The two clever little eyes were rolling, not knowing what the hell was thinking about.
After looking at his neck with satisfaction, Shi Lei joined the discussion among the three uncles happily.
"Shitou, you are here, just right, let's discuss it together." Uncle Blacksmith greeted Shi Lei.
"What's going on? You three uncles are just going to make an idea, just let me know." Shi Lei happily moved a stone and sat down. "Okay, I'll listen."
"You have to make the decision on this matter. It's the matter of the ancient tomb that Daimao discovered last time. We are discussing whether to find someone to dig it." Uncle Hunter was not polite at all. In this way, ordinary retainers really dare not say it.
"Actually, I don't care. If we dig, we can better lead the merchants to live a good life. But it doesn't matter if we don't have this possible profit. Our family's current development momentum is so good, and it doesn't have to make such a deadly fortune.
The main reason is that I am worried that my reputation is not good for our family. I don’t care. Don’t let the merchants go out and can’t raise their heads.” Shi Lei told all his thoughts to the three uncles in full.
"Don't worry about damaging our reputation. Such things will definitely not be allowed to get you into trouble. I plan to go out and find a master to let the old hunter follow you and take action after you get things out.
Our family also has a way to ship the goods, and we don’t rush to use the money. The problems may be very small, so there is basically no need to worry about any rumors leaking out. If there is really a problem, just let the old hunter clean up.
As long as we are not arrested, no one dares to make a rumor about our family! Even the noble family who is not in the same way as our family, as long as there is no real handle, they will not dare to go out to spread the news.
What these nobles in power hate the most is the guys who have ruined other people's reputation, because these guys are not clean under their butts. They either have done murder and robbery or the smoke and dust that once opened mountains and set up cabinets.
That is, after being in this situation, one by one, was either a duke or a marquis, and began to cherish his feathers.
There are really people like to talk too much. These guys can kill them together without anyone saying anything.
And as far as I know, there are several families who still have some local masters. Anyway, they are all pits from the previous dynasty, and others will not say much.
Someone has done things like digging people’s ancestral graves and storing corpses in the wilderness, so we don’t have to worry about such a small thing.
Besides, as long as you don’t touch your hands, everything is easy to say, and there is room for maneuver.
Anyway, the one lying here cannot be the ancestor of the old Li family, so there is nothing to worry about." The butler said very affirmatively.
Several uncles have experienced the entire process from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present. They may even be famous before, and they have dealt with these nobles a lot. They know the background of those nobles well, so they are not polite at all.
"I think so. Don't let the money you have picked up for nothing like this. It's just that God gave it to us."
Uncle Blacksmith also expressed his agreement without hesitation. Uncle Hunter's attitude was very clear from the beginning. This behavior made Shi Lei really doubt that these three uncles didn't seem to have any good tricks before.
