A sea snake suddenly appeared, and Nan Ye threw a flying knife
Nan Ye hadn't expected Leap to be so cooperative.
"If it's not white, it's even easier! Just grab a golden bowl!"
Leap: ...
He finally understood Nan Ye's meaning; it was completely unreliable.
[If it's a white snake, be Xu Xian. If it's not a white snake, grab a golden bowl and be Fahai. Either way, you won't get hurt, right?]
[That's exactly how I understand it, hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying, Xiao Ge is truly talented.]
[Is this a human's thought process? Shouldn't you run the moment you see a snake?]
Leap couldn't be bothered with Nan Ye; he had figured it out.
On this island, Nan Ye hadn't said a single pleasant word.
The moment he got close to the small cave, Leap felt terrible.
Just then, the camera happened to pan over.
A coiled-up snake appeared in the live stream room.
It's just that the camera was visibly shaking!
[Holy crap, a triangular head, usually means it's venomous!]
[Oh my god, this must be a Belcher's sea snake!]
It's one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Its venom is 200 times stronger than a king cobra's. A single bite is basically fatal.]
[No wonder the cameraman's hand is shaking a bit, so he ran into this thing.]
[Run quickly! What are you spacing out for? If you get bitten by this thing, you probably won't even have time to get medical attention!]
Leap didn't dare to get closer and kept backing away, "Xiao Ge, there really is a snake!"
Nan Ye put down what he was doing, picked up his dagger, and approached step by step.
"What color is it?"
"Light gray, with black spots on its back, and a triangular head!"
Nan Ye's first impression was a venomous snake!
His second impression was, could it be a sea snake?
Holy crap, sea snakes are all highly venomous!
Nan Ye didn't dare to delay, quickly darted over, and pulled Leap behind him.
Taking a closer look, it was indeed a sea snake, and specifically a Belcher's sea snake.
This type of sea snake is an invasive species. It wasn't present in the Great Xia Country before, but for some reason, one appeared here.
However, this kind of invasive species is not protected by the state!
He instantly communicated with the system in his mind: "System, exchange for dart Mastery, remove the side effects!"
[Exchange successful. You have 859.1 million Emotion Points remaining. Have fun!]
Exchanging for this skill was for no other reason than the accuracy of throwing knives.
Nan Ye was seen flicking the dagger in his hand.
The next second, the dagger was embedded in the Belcher's sea snake's head, pinning it to the ground.
Leap, who had just been shouting, had his mouth wide open.
Looking at the Belcher's sea snake, and then at Nan Ye, he suddenly couldn't say a word.
Director Su Fei, sitting in front of the large monitor, just blurted out, "Holy crap."
What a show-off!
Inviting Nan Ye to participate in this show was truly the right decision.
The audience in the live stream room also had stars in their eyes:
[Damn, that's almost 10 meters, isn't it? From 10 meters away, I can't even see the snake's head clearly, but Nan Ye can hit it square in the head?]
[This knife-throwing skill, this accuracy, it's amazing!]
[I finally know why Nan Ye said that combat athletes wouldn't dare to challenge weapons back then. If it came down to a real fight, from ten meters away, he could kill you by throwing knives. Who would fight you with fists?]
[If he were to assassinate someone, where would the other person have a chance to live?]
After Leap reacted, he asked curiously, "If you were to do it again, how far away could you stand and still hit it?"
This question voiced what the audience was thinking.
Nan Ye was seen shaking his head. He honestly didn't know where his limit was, but he was quite curious himself.
"How about we give it a try?"
Leap said no problem and happily trotted over to the dagger.
Although the snake was dead, he still felt lingering fear. He pulled out the dagger and quickly ran.
"I measured it with my feet, it's about 15 meters here. There's a piece of bamboo here, that's your target."
As soon as Leap finished speaking, he heard a "thump," which startled him greatly.
The dagger was stuck straight into the bamboo piece.
"You're too much! I hadn't even gone far yet, what were you rushing for..." Leap grumbled.
Looking closely, he was only one meter away from the dagger.
If there was a mistake...
He might lose some 'accessories' on his body!
This time, after moving the bamboo piece 20 meters away, Leap first ran far away.
"Thump!"
Bullseye!
30 meters, no problem!
50 meters, he could hit it, but the accuracy was greatly reduced, not a guaranteed hit.
It wasn't that the throwing knife wasn't accurate, but rather that the dagger itself wasn't a specially made throwing knife, which had a big impact.
Another point was that the naked eye had reached its limit too.
International archery competitions are at 70 meters.
Hitting the 10-ring is equivalent to shooting a soda can from 70 meters away.
The difficulty involved goes without saying.
And Nan Ye could hit the bamboo piece with a throwing knife from 50 meters away, which was completely Olympic level.
Moreover, this was a throwing knife!
It's much harder than archery.
Given this, how could the audience not be surprised:
[That's too amazing! He can hit it from 50 meters away. Isn't that more accurate than most people using a gun?]
[If the Olympics had a throwing knife competition, I would definitely recommend Nan Ye participate!]
[With this kind of accuracy in throwing knives, how can you say Nan Ye isn't good at archery?]
[Can archery and throwing knives be the same? It's not the same action.]
Just as this person finished speaking, Nan Ye began preparing a bow and arrow.
There was ready-made bamboo here, plus nylon rope, wouldn't that make a simple bow!
Then, cut the bamboo piece into strips, sharpen one end, and wouldn't that be an arrow!
Looking at the bow and arrow in front of him, Leap couldn't put it down and immediately tried it out.
Nock the arrow, aim, shoot!
Thwack!
It seemed a bit far from the target.
Leap, not believing it, tried a few more times, but couldn't hit the target no matter what.
Seeing Leap enjoying himself tirelessly, Netizens gave him a nickname:
The Outline Master!
Nan Ye didn't have time to bother with him and spent over an hour getting the tent at the cave entrance set up.
Later, he made a simple bed and sprinkled wood ash under it.
"What are you doing now?"
"Of course, I'm preventing snakes. Do you want to sleep with snakes?
We don't have limestone, so we can only use wood ash as a substitute.
But this isn't enough. Later, I'll look around to see if there's any Polygonum perfoliatum nearby."
"What is Polygonum perfoliatum?" Leap was even more confused.
He realized that in front of Nan Ye, he was truly the type who knew nothing when asked anything.
"Polygonum perfoliatum is a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb, also called 'snake retreat'.
It's a vine-like plant with thorns on it. Snakes retreat when they encounter it and won't approach.
Furthermore, it can also detoxify snake venom to some extent.
All things are mutually reinforcing and restraining, yin and yang complement each other.
In places where venomous snakes appear, you can likely find Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs that detoxify, just in case.
If we can find Polygonum perfoliatum, it would be even better. Transplanting a few plants here, snakes probably wouldn't even bother coming near us..."
Only then did Leap remember that this guy was originally a Traditional Chinese Medicine Eason Chan!
Thinking of this, he casually mentioned:
"Xiao Ge, you can go take the Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner qualification exam later."
Unexpectedly, Nan Ye's answer was: ...
