It could continue to wait, but Xu Lei couldn't waste time like this. Although he seemed to be in high spirits, his limbs were actually trembling slightly. This was caused by excessive blood loss. Although he had recovered quite a bit of his stamina after standing still, he had torn open his wound when he dodged just now.
If he were to continue to tense up like this for a few more minutes, the wound would probably continue to expand. At that time, he would probably lose consciousness again due to excessive blood loss without the water snake's help.
" We should retreat." Xu Lei secretly looked at the surrounding environment and made plans to escape... Not good, in this moment of distraction, the water snake seized the opportunity and pounced again. By the time he came back to his senses, the fishy wind had already reached his face.
Then, her body tightened and she was already entangled.
" Wu…" He couldn't help but shout. The water snake's strength was indeed astonishing. It seemed to have more than a thousand pounds of strength when it coiled and tightened. In terms of strength, it could be considered to have reached the realm of tendon tempering. He only felt his bones creaking as if they would break in the next moment.
He was still in the realm of skin tempering and had not had the time to temper his bones, so his bones were only slightly stronger than before. How could he withstand such a huge pressure from the water snake? Xu Lei struggled in a panic, but he ignored the fact that water snakes were different from other things. The more you struggled, the tighter they would entangle you. At first, his limbs could still move, but in a moment, he was wrapped up like a big dumpling. Only his head could barely move.
" Hu." The water snake saw that its prey could not escape, so it turned its head and opened its mouth wide to swallow him.
Along with a gust of fishy wind, Xu Lei felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and a feeling of dizziness arose in his head. Could this water snake be poisonous? He had seen that large snakes were basically non-poisonous, but Xu Lei could not guarantee that this common sense applied to the water snake in front of him.
At this moment, he could not move his four limbs. Seeing the water snake's big head coming towards him, he stretched out his neck to meet it. At the critical moment, he turned his head and bit the water snake's neck instead. (This chapter was uploaded by 79 Literature Network.

Xu Lei's teeth were so sharp that he could bite off a wooden stick as thick as a wrist. He had thought that he could at least tear off a piece of meat from the water snake's body with this bite. However, the situation was not as he had imagined. The water snake's scales were like layers of leather, and his teeth could barely penetrate them.
Even so, the water snake did not feel good." Hiss... Croak..." It made a few strange sounds. Coupled with the echo of the sewers, Xu Lei's ears were buzzing.
Under the pain, the water snake shrank its body again. Its body became much thinner and wrapped around Xu Lei even tighter.
The wound had completely split open, and fresh blood kept gushing out. The excruciating pain cleared his dizzy head a little. If this continued, he would definitely die here. However, Xu Lei had nowhere to retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
" Pu!" It sounded like a sharp knife piercing through leather. Xu Lei's teeth bit open the water snake's scales in an instant, and a hot liquid immediately flowed into his mouth.
" Croak…croak!" The water snake cried out even more happily. It turned around and rolled around in the sewer with Xu Lei. Its tail even slapped against the cement wall continuously.
If one looked closely, they would find that the wall that had been hit by the snake had large pieces of cement falling down and rolling all the way. The originally smooth wall had become pockmarked.
Xu Lei's wound kept spurting blood after the water snake rammed into him a few times. At this moment, he bit even harder. He felt the hot blood of the water snake flowing down his throat. Some of it even spurted out from his nostrils because of the reverse flow.
There was a saying that went," If you hit a snake, you hit its seven inches. If you catch a snake, you catch its neck." The seven inches was the weakest part of a snake, and the neck was the blind spot of a snake's attack. Once it was stuck in this place, the snake's head would have no attacking power. Snakes usually attacked by coiling and swallowing. Now that its neck was tightly bitten by Xu Lei, the water snake's head was useless. It could only scream and roll, hoping to throw Xu Lei away.
How could Xu Lei let it have its way? He knew that he was relying on his will now. Once this will stopped, he would probably lose all his strength. At that time, he would definitely be suffocated by this water snake. Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Just like that, the water snake refused to let go of its body, and Xu Lei bit its neck tightly. The weird combination rolled along the sewer, scaring the nearby rats.
After several fights and excessive blood loss, Xu Lei quickly fell into a coma. However, his teeth did not loosen even when he was unconscious...
Xu Lei was secretly glad that he didn't die. If he hadn't had the inspiration to bite the snake's neck, he would have been swallowed by this guy.
The snake's blood mixed with his own blood, and his earthy yellow fur was covered in blood red, emitting a pungent smell.
Although the snake was dead, the strength in its body had not dissipated. Xu Lei struggled to tear it apart with his claws. It took him a lot of effort to free himself from the python's body.
It seemed that the anaconda was only strong and had not reached the realm of tendon tempering. If it had really reached that level, he was afraid that he would not have the chance to fight back after being entangled.
Seeing that the water snake was killed, dozens of squeaking rats surrounded it again. Looking at these guys who didn't count as ghosts, Xu Lei felt helpless. If it was any other time, he would have slapped these guys into minced meat with just a few claws. However, he was covered in injuries and could not even move a step. How could he have the strength to deal with them? It was like a tiger being bullied by dogs.
However, in the end, a dead camel was still bigger than a horse. Although those rats had green eyes, they did not dare to run forward.
He had to get out quickly. With such a big wound on his stomach, it would be bad if it continued like this.
Such a huge water snake was probably more than a hundred pounds, and there was no way to take it away. Eat raw snake meat? Although he wanted to try the taste of snake meat, Xu Lei's stomach was full of snake blood when he fought with the water snake. Therefore, although his body was weak, he did not feel hungry at the moment.
He secretly cried out in pity. It seemed that he could only let this group of rats off the hook. When he looked at the snake's body, another word suddenly appeared in Xu Lei's mind: Snake gall, how could he have forgotten about this?
The snake's gallbladder was the essence of snakes. This water snake had probably stayed in the sewers for quite a long time, so the degree of refinement of the snake's gallbladder was quite high. If he swallowed the snake gall, it would definitely be beneficial to his body. A few days ago, when the old man was teaching his granddaughter about the Crouching Tiger Fist, he mentioned that martial artists should often use medicine to regulate their bodies. Among them, he mentioned snake gall, ginseng, and osmanthus. It was said that the snake gall could cleanse one's bones and marrow, and it was very helpful for martial artists to cleanse their blood essence.
However, when Xu Lei dug out the snake gall, he was dumbfounded. In the past, he often heard people talk about snake gall, but he didn't know where the snake gall was.
Helplessly, Xu Lei used his claws to slowly explore the snake's body. Finally, he sensed a round object on its abdomen.
He stretched out his claws and tore a big hole in the snake's belly.
This water snake weighed more than a hundred pounds, but its gallbladder was rather inconspicuous. It was not even the size of an egg, and its color was dark green. In the pitch-black sewer, it had a faint luster. One could barely see some ring-shaped patterns on it, like clouds and dragons.
No wonder the old man said," It's easy to get a snake's gall in ten years, but hard to get in a hundred years." However, just by looking at the appearance of the snake's gall, one could tell how precious it was.
It was best to take the snake gall when it was fresh, otherwise, the medicinal effect would disappear over time.
Looking at the dark green ball, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and reached out his claw to put it into his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, a pungent smell immediately entered his nostrils. Then, his tongue began to taste bitter, and his entire mouth was filled with saliva, almost making him vomit.
He had wanted to chew it before swallowing it, but after tasting the taste, he gave up the idea. He raised his neck and swallowed the snake gall. Immediately, a wave of heat burst out from his body.
No wonder people often said that the bitter gall on the coptis tree was even more bitter. This thing was really not something to eat. Those who had never eaten it before could not imagine this taste.
Less than two minutes after swallowing it, Xu Lei felt as if he had swallowed a piece of charcoal in his stomach, burning. He knew that the snake gall was starting to take effect. He immediately endured the pain in his body and stood up with difficulty, making a stance.
