If a craftsman wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.
Xia Jie had ordered a set of tools and supplementary materials for root carving on Taobao.
With a favorable wind, they could arrive in three days.
Following that, he packed up the hemp rope, chopper, saw, basket, and other tools.
Everything was ready. Sleep and recuperate!
Beep beep beep!
The sky had just brightened when the crisp alarm clock urged Xia Jie to get up from his bed.
After breakfast, Xia Jie carried the basket and walked towards the back of the mountain.
In the air, the silver-white live-streaming drone hovered.
The theme of today's livestream was 'Treasure Hunting Up the Mountain'.
Under the cover of the mist, the lush green forest looked like a paradise on earth.
Based on his rich experience, Xia Jie knew that he had to go to the forest to find suitable root carving materials.
There was no road in the mountain. Xia Jie waved the chopper and cut through the thorns while introducing the situation on the mountain.
For example, when the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest were the best to eat!
Where could he find mushrooms to dig?
The stream water in the mountains was definitely purer than mineral water!
……
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room had unknowingly increased.
The scenery of nature was quite attractive!
Halfway up the mountain, Xia Jie, who was sweating profusely, finally found the target he was looking for.
A withered Camphor tree.
Camphor trees were made of fine wood with natural veins. They were tough and not easy to break or crack. They were one of the best choices for making root carvings.
Perhaps because of the landslide caused by the rain, most of its roots were exposed.
Xia Jie gestured with his hand and roughly estimated.
"Wow, it's so thick and long. Fortunately, the rain helped. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to dig it out.”
However, even if most of the roots were exposed, he would not be able to move them away easily by himself.
Therefore, Xia Jie decided to cut off a section of the sword and practice when he got back.
Chi chi…chi chi…
A strange sound suddenly entered his ears.
Xia Jie subconsciously tightened his grip on the sickle in his hand.
As a child who grew up in the mountains, he was all too familiar with this sound. It was the sound of a snake spitting its whiskers.
He held his breath and looked around.
Xia Jie silently identified the direction of the sound.
"It should be on the back of the tree root."
Xia Jie raised his sickle and tiptoed to the back of the tree root.
As expected, there was movement in the inconspicuous roots.
Whoosh!
It was a snake!
It was a huge snake!
It was a giant python!
Just by looking at the length of the tree root, it was about two meters long.
It was pure white, and there were green spots on its head. It seemed a little unusual.
Seeing Xia Jie, the white snake didn't attack.
He continued to rub his body against the rough roots of the tree.
Xia Jie immediately discovered something mysterious.
The snake was shedding its skin.
From the head to the waist, the skin that had been shed gathered together, forming wrinkles.
Xia Jie pointed at the white snake and said to the drone camera.
"Everyone, look. This is a white python. It's very rare and belongs to the category of non-poisonous snakes!”
"It's shedding its skin, and it's at its weakest!”
"This shed skin is called 'dragon cloth'. It's a precious Chinese medicinal herb.”
Seeing a thick and long wild white python with their own eyes, the audience instantly became excited, and the bullet comments flew up.
"D * mn, it's so thick and long. Could it be that Goddess Bai has reincarnated?”
"I've never seen a snake shed its skin before. The streamer's luck is pretty good.”
"Host, what are you waiting for? Snake meat tastes great!”
……
Although many people in the live broadcast room were shouting to kill him, Xia Jie did not have that intention.
It wasn't easy for this snake to grow so big. It was better to let it live!
At this moment, the white snake saw Xia Jie approaching and became a little nervous.
It kept spitting out its snake's core, and at the same time, it twisted and rubbed its skin against the tree roots.
It seemed that it was accumulating strength just now, preparing to shed its skin in one go.
However, some of the accumulated snake skin had already dried up and formed lumps.
The more it used force, the new skin that had just peeled off could not withstand the friction and was already dripping with blood.
When the people in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they could not help but shout.
"It's too tragic. Host, please help it.”
"Don't look at it. It makes me uncomfortable.”
"Streamer, it's time for you to make your move!”
At the same time, the popularity of the live broadcast room was also rising.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for reaching 500 popularity points in your live streaming room. You have obtained a lucky draw ticket!”
"Host, do you wish to proceed with the lottery?
The screen changed, and the red, yellow, and blue wheel that was filled with surprise appeared in front of Xia Jie again.
"Smoke!"
Xia Jie naturally wouldn't be polite.
The white light stopped on a red grid.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special passive skill: Psychic Arts!
[Effect: Allows the host to communicate with natural creatures with spirituality through telepathy.]”
This…
Was this Orochimaru's skill?
Xia Jie scratched his head and looked at the white python that had already softened!
With just a glance, he instantly understood!
Water!
Water!
Give me water!
This was the python's most urgent need at the moment, and it passed it to Xia Jie.
Uh, I can help you with this.
It was a life after all.
If he let it drag on like this, he might be eaten by wild boars, wolves, or something like that!
"Wait, I'll get you some water!”
Xia Jie responded to the white python, and it immediately raised its head.
A pair of green eyes stared straight at Xia Jie.
Although the other party looked very strange, it seemed to be of the same kind as him!
Xia Jie picked up the basket and walked towards the stream.
Although he had brought a water bottle, there was not enough water!
Seeing that the host had turned around and left, the masters in the live broadcast room were unhappy.
"Host, how can you leave?”
"Streamer, where are you going? Are you afraid of snakes?"
"If you're a man, don't be afraid. Go!”
"Brother, catch it. I'm willing to pay 100,000 for it!”
"Big boss, I have a little black snake. Are you willing to keep it?”
……
Facing the doubts of the people in the live broadcast room, Xia Jie explained.
"Everyone, it's usually not easy to interfere with a snake's molting, but we can water it and keep it moist. This way, it can secrete enough lubricant and it will come out!”
After saying that, he no longer cared about the discussion in the live broadcast room. He waved the chopper and cut off a few thick bamboo leaves, then pierced through the membrane inside one by one.
In this way, simple bamboo tubes were made.
Then, he filled the water from the stream and placed it into the basket. Xia Jie returned to his usual spot.
"I'll water you. Don't be afraid!”
As he spoke, Xia Jie took a bamboo tube and sprinkled the clear and cold stream water on the white python.
Yi Tong!
Er Tong!
Jiu Tong…
The white python, which was already weak, seemed to have regained its vitality after being drenched. It began to twist its body again and continued to struggle to shed its skin.
In the live broadcast room, the audience commented.
"The streamer's wisdom in saving the white snake is comparable to Xu Xian the Second!”
"Tsk tsk, a hero is about to be born!”
"The host is quite kind. He's a good person!”
On the screen, three planes flew past!
Ha, another tip!
