Chapter 233 Wild Boar Eats Snake, Suming Follows Behind
After being flung away, the first response of the five-step snake wasn't to flee but to coil its entire body together, raise its triangular head with a flickering flame-like tongue, and hiss threateningly at the second brother.
The second brother stood a meter away, in no hurry to attack, sizing up the five-step snake with his little eyes while making "ao ao" noises, like a martial arts expert, leisurely circling around the five-step snake with his short four legs.
Suming was afraid it would attract other wild boars. Fortunately, there was no movement in the distance, probably because the boar herd downwind hadn't smelled the five-step snake.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As the second brother circled, the snake's head followed, closely watching his every move.
Seeing this, Suming immediately felt that the second brother was much smarter than he had imagined, whereas the five-step snake seemed rather foolish. If you keep following its rotations, you'll end up dizzy.
Sure enough, after two circles, the five-step snake couldn't hold back any longer and launched an attack. In a swift motion, its body shot out, mouth gaping nearly 180 degrees, with two fangs protruding outward like daggers aiming for the second brother's groin!
What a move, the Testicle Biting Technique!
The second brother's body was all tough hide, rough and thick, making it unlikely for the five-step snake to bite through. But the two large testicles hanging down in the groin area were a weakness; large and soft, a bite there would mean certain death!
This move, though indelicate, was the most common method snakes used against wild boars!
The second brother's reaction was anything but that of a dumb pig. Even if Monkey were here, he couldn't have done it any better. With a powerful push of its hind legs, the second brother astonishingly performed an almost handstand-like maneuver to dodge the snake.
The five-step snake flew past his large testicles, but due to its long body, while the head went through the legs, the rest hadn't caught up, and the second brother's hind legs had already landed, stepping directly on its tail.
In pain, the five-step snake turned to bite, but the second brother moved faster, firmly pressing down on the snake's "vital inch" with another hind leg, then turned its head and bit the snake's.
Without giving the five-step snake a chance to retaliate, the second brother tilted his neck and sent the snake's head, along with a small segment of its body, into his mouth, chewing crunchily and enjoying his meal.
In less than two minutes, the meter-long five-step snake was slurped up by the second brother like noodles, bitten into pieces, and swallowed down to his stomach.
Even a domestic pig could easily use its teeth to crush red bricks and swallow them. Suming had done this as a child, throwing a brick at a pig, only to have the pig crunch and eat the brick. Now it seemed the second brother was even more fierce; a bite from him was no laughing matter.
"Okay or not?" Suming asked Su Meng.
Su Meng nodded vigorously.
Only then did Suming blow the whistle again.
Well-fed and ready for action, the second brother had just finished eating the snake and was full of energy with nowhere to expend it. He heard the call of the sow again and rushed to the tree where Su Meng was, but found no trace of the sow.
As he wondered, there was a buzz in his head. Suming had already launched an attack with his spiritual power from the tree, unleashing it without reservation and bombarding the big wild boar like a cannonball. He then took a big gulp of honey.
"Next time, have the bees make some Orleans grilled meat flavored honey..." Suming smacked his lips, feeling that always drinking the same flavor of honey was too monotonous. If Orleans grilled meat didn't work, he could always try adding some fruit juice.
In the heat of the moment, as the wild boar was still confused, Su Meng shouted from above and descended... His posture was very similar to a policeman from an old videogame, Street Fighter, who jumps up, legs together, and stomps down on his opponent's head with his feet.
Su Meng, weighing nearly two hundred pounds, added to the force of gravity in freefall, gave the second brother a taste of acceleration. With a slam, his head planted straight into the ground.
"Keep it up, finish the fight quickly!" Suming shouted from the tree.
The commotion here was so big that even a bunch of pig teammates should have heard it and rushed over to help.
Sure enough, the wild boar herd in the distance was disturbed and started to move in this direction.
"Distract them!" Suming quickly instructed Haidong Qing to take flight.
Wild boars are of a fiery temper and are the easiest to provoke. Haidong Qing flew over, pecking each wild boar's head fiercely before nimbly flitting about at a low altitude.
Although the wild boars weren't fatally injured, their anger was instantly ignited. These pig teammates immediately forgot their mission to rescue their boss, wildly chasing after Haidong Qing throughout the woods, grunting and snorting.
"I have godlike teammates; you have piglike teammates! Wahahah!" Suming couldn't stop laughing. These wild boars could be smarter than monkeys at times, but at their dumbest, they were hilariously stupid.
Underneath the tree, the Second Brother was dazed by Su Meng's kick, staggering to get up; Suming sent another blast of spiritual power his way. While still in a daze, he suddenly felt someone mount him from behind.
"Go, wild boar knight!" Suming shouted from the tree. Su Meng, riding on the Second Brother's back, resembled a Barbarian Tribes boar knight from Heroes of Might and Magic.
However, the wild boar underneath him was uncooperative, desperately trying to ram into the tree with Su Meng on its back, not caring about mutual destruction.
"Heh-heh!" Su Meng bellowed, raising his fists as big as sandbowls and ruthlessly pummeling the wild boar's back and head.
At the same time, Suming occasionally sent out a wave of spiritual power to interfere with the wild boar's path.
The Second Brother became a headless fly, darting wildly through the woods. Despite intending to harm Su Meng by crashing into the tree with its back, each time something went awry, and it would end up smashing its own head instead.
No matter how tough the hide, such violent impacts over and over were too much to bear. After several hits, the wild boar grew apprehensive, no longer daring to charge at the tree with full force; it wandered disoriented in the woods, grunting softly.
Intense pain was also throbbing from its back, as Su Meng's fists had worn away the skin. Had it not been for the thick hide, any tiger might have been beaten to death by Su Meng, bleeding from the seven orifices.
"Now's the time!"
Seeing the wild boar's will weakened, Suming immediately surged with spiritual power, trying to gain control of it.
This "control" was essentially normal communication, allowing them to coexist peacefully. Animals don't have as many cunning thoughts as humans; as long as you can communicate, some cajoling can easily make them obey and prevent them from harming crops in the future.
Previously, the wild boar was completely unreasonable and had no desire to communicate.
Suming was not new to this situation; back in the day, the crocodilian snapper had been even more stubborn than the wild boar, attempting to retaliate despite being captured.
For such cases, Suming had one philosophy: subdue them, then talk!
After the release of spiritual power, Suming established contact with the wild boar.
Unexpectedly, the Second Brother was quite stubborn; despite being beaten to such a state, he still gave Suming the cold shoulder. After realizing Suming was in the tree, the Second Brother spun around and charged fiercely at it.
The tree wasn't thick, so when the Second Brother collided with it, the trunk shook violently, almost causing Suming to fall!
"Oh? Thick-skinned and unafraid of being beaten? Second Brother, remember, you're forcing my hand here!" Suming pulled open the small bag he carried with him.
