Chapter 1422 Catching Snakes (2/2)
”That's enough talking, are you taking the bet up?” Li Du interrupted him. He had no more patience for this.
Griffin went over and picked up the small bottle, shaking it. Then he opened it up and sniffed it. He tutted and said, ”Alright, then I'll let you guys see how good I am! Tell me, how will the bet work?”
”Which snake has the fastest speed of attack? Bring it out. See which one of us can catch it first. How about that?” Li Du asked.
Griffin stared at him and said, ”Are you serious about that? I wouldn't dare to do that. I'm worried that you're biting off more than you can chew. What if you get bitten?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”Don't you guys have serum here?” Li Du asked impatiently.
Griffin smirked cunningly. ”You gotta pay for the serum.”
”Not a problem.”
Singer left and came back ten minutes later, carrying a box. There was a large snake of about two meters long inside.
In an unfamiliar environment, the snake nervously observed the surroundings from its cage. It kept sticking out its tongue, making the sound of 'siii-siii', ready to attack.
Seeing that snake, Brother Wolf said softly, ”That's a Black Mamba, boss. Be careful.”
The color of the snake's tongue was rare – almost quite black. That was a unique trait of the Black Mamba.
The Black Mamba snake came from Africa. It was the largest poisonous snake on that continent. It could grow to be more than four meters long, and was also the fastest snake in the world, able to move at a speed of sixteen to twenty kilometers per hour.
However, in terms of combat speed, it was not the fastest. It was only one of the more well known venomous snakes among those with relatively fast attack speed. Griffin had meant to scare Li Du.
Li Du did not see that as a problem. He had seen many snakes previously, especially when he was at Seagull Island. It was common to meet with sea snakes when one went to the toilet and he had already accumulated sufficient experience catching snakes.
Venomous snakes were scary, but the fear mainly came from the person facing the snake. It was not too difficult to deal with snakes, actually. All one needed to do was to grab onto its neck and get a firm grip on its head.
Of course, that was if one could be successful in doing so. Otherwise, it was better not to provoke snakes. It was no simple task to hold onto a snake's neck at the right angle. That was because the speed of attack from venomous snakes was simply too great.
The strike of a snake would take an average of between 44 and 70 milliseconds. Humans, on the other hand, would take about 200 milliseconds to blink. Within that amount of time, the most dangerous snakes could theoretically complete 4 attacks.
Singer looked at Li Du and said, ”It's not too late to regret now.”
Li Du laughed and said, ”You guys had better prepare one hundred thousand dollars. I will want to see that sum of money immediately.”
”Ha, looks like you don't know death when you see it,” a youth who was there to watch the drama laughed coldly.
The cage was opened and the Black Mamba was released. It reared up at once, shrinking his head and staring at everyone.
Li Du folded up his sleeves and walked forward with Griffin. They neared the Black Mamba from its left and right.
Realizing that there were people nearing its left and right, the Black Mamba stuck out its tongue and withdrew it aggressively. It was a warning that came before an attack.
Li Du released the little bug and expended all his effort in willing the bug to use its ability of Time Deceleration. Time instantly slowed down drastically.
Griffin swung his hands around and wanted to hypnotize the Black Mamba. The venomous snake was attracted by his maneuver. Right at that moment, Li Du took a leap forward and grabbed onto the snake's neck with his hands!
