Following the snake charmer's guidance, Liu Wei walked outside the market town and inquired about the two-headed cobra along the way.

However, the villagers working in the fields did not seem to want to tell Liu Wei the right direction and were secretive.

Liu Wei understood that in their hearts, the double-headed cobra was the incarnation of the main god, and its divinity was higher than that of the ordinary Indian cobra. They did not want others to come into contact with the main god in their hearts.

In the end, Liu Wei had to spend dozens of rupees to buy sweets for children playing on the roadside before he got the specific location.

This is an old courtyard. There are more than ten bamboo houses lined up on both sides of the courtyard. In the middle is a spacious dam. The dam is not paved with cement, but it is very neatly repaired.

Today happens to be the market day in the market town, so there are not many people living in the yard.

After Liu Wei walked in, he immediately saw the two-headed cobra he had been waiting for.

What he didn't expect was that the two-headed cobra was actually drinking milk!

Liu Wei flipped the camera to shoot it.

The whole body is less than half a meter long, with a small body and dark scales. It has the iconic Indian cobra pattern on its back. Like a normal cobra, its back is slightly flattened and two snake heads grow from the pattern on its back.

The snake head was lying on an iron plate, licking the milk from the iron plate.

Milk is milky white.

Liu Weidao: "Brothers, milk is a relatively expensive food for local residents. Children here don't often drink it, but they use milk to feed this two-headed cobra. It shows that it is in the hearts of local people." image of!"

"To be honest, this snake is ugly!"

"Brother, I am the incarnation of the Lord God. If you say I am ugly, be careful to retaliate against you!"

"Sorry, I only believe in Chinese gods!"

"Hahaha, you guys, can you respect other people's customs?"

Liu Wei squatted down to take a photo of the two-headed cobra, which was very close to it. It did not seem to have a sense of crisis to intimidate Liu Wei and continued to lick the milk.

Liu Wei found that its upper body could not stand up like a normal Indian cobra.

"Bros,

I bring you to see it for two purposes. First, to see this mutant species. Second, study its venom.

Some Russian media claim that the venom of a two-headed cobra can kill 20 adults or even an adult elephant. I have some doubts about this!"

"????"

"What? Elephant?"

"The fighting nation is bragging again!"

"It poisoned 20 adults and was several times more toxic than a bungara snake!"

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it!"

The audience all posted questions, and their thoughts were the same as Liu Wei's.

Liu Wei didn't quite believe this exaggeration, "Brothers, the venom of the Indian cobra is a strong neurotoxin. I have given you science knowledge before. Neurotoxins mainly attack the heart, muscles, and nerves of the respiratory system. They are After the bite, the wound will not be very painful, but the toxin will block the connection between the organs and the nervous system, causing muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest.

After being bitten by an Indian cobra, symptoms such as unsteady gait, weakness of limbs, drooping head, ptosis, salivation, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, etc. will occur, followed by quadriplegia, weak breathing, and unconsciousness. asphyxia.

Finally, he died due to respiratory center paralysis and heart failure.

The time between bite and death ranges from 30 minutes to 30 hours.

The Indian cobra is also one of the four most venomous snakes in India. The number of bites every year is second only to the Indian krait.

Now we make an academic guess: Will the toxins in the venom of the mutated two-headed cobra mutate due to body mutations?

This was the main reason I wanted to study this snake. "

After speaking, Liu Wei took out the prepared poison cup from his backpack and prepared to take the poison.

But things didn't go smoothly.

Just as he was about to reach out, a black man came over cursing, pointed at Liu Wei and spoke in Hindi that he didn't understand.

Liu Wei stood up, smiled and explained in a friendly manner.

There was a language barrier between the two and it was impossible to explain clearly. Liu Wei saw anger on the man's face.

Later, villagers who were busy around the yard and those who had just returned from the market gathered around him.

Liu Wei was surrounded in the middle.

"Woof woof~"

Pangpang felt the pressure. He thought his master was in danger and started barking.

Out of fear of the dog, the villagers took a few steps back.

Liu Wei still asked politely, "Who knows English?"

A young woman stood up, with sallow skin and a somewhat cultured expression. She took two steps forward. The villagers stopped making noise one after another. Liu Wei guessed that she might be a local teacher.

Liu Wei explained: "I am a wildlife research expert. Please tell the villagers that I will not harm this cobra. I just want to take its venom for research!"

The woman shook her head and said, "No, it is the god in the hearts of the villagers. You can't reach out and touch it!"

"Damn it, this guy is so superstitious!"

"Terrible believers!"

"Forget it, forget it, Ah Wei, let's go! The villagers will raise their knives later!"

"Foolish man!"

Liu Wei didn't want to give up and tried again, "I just need a little bit of venom. Please help me explain it to them. I'm willing to give a certain amount of money in exchange!"

The woman turned to the villager next to her.

After hearing this, the villagers started to make noise again.

The woman shook her head at Liu Wei, but they still disagreed.

It's not about money.

It's a matter of faith.

At this time, the two-headed cobra that had finished drinking the milk turned around and crawled out.

All the villagers spread out to both sides to leave a path for it.

The villagers watched it slowly leave with pious eyes.

Liu Wei wanted to catch up, but was stopped again.

The villagers were saying something to each other, which made Liu Wei almost go deaf.

Fortunately, he didn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't have known how unpleasant the villagers said and scolded him.

After a while, the double-headed cobra disappeared, probably hiding to rest.

Only then did the villagers stop.

"Sorry to bother you!" Liu Wei said sorry and came out of the yard, staring at him with vicious eyes.

Liu Wei shook his head, he also thought it was ridiculous.

As for that?

The woman just followed her out and said with a smile: "Are you Chinese? On behalf of the local villagers, I would like to apologize to you. The education level here is very backward, so people have a lack of understanding of the natural world. In their eyes, that is The incarnation of the Lord God, you also saw that the snake just enjoyed the treatment of the Lord God here!"

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and felt more comfortable communicating with cultural people, "Has this snake always been in the yard?"

The woman nodded, "It is active around. It crawls into the yard every day and the villagers give it food and milk!"

Liu Wei nodded, "That's right. The two-headed cobra's hunting ability is very poor, but if it continues like this, it won't survive long!"

"Shh!" The woman immediately made a gesture, "Be careful if they hear you, they will scold you again soon!"

Liu Wei asked curiously: "Were they all scolding me just now? What were they scolding?"

The woman lowered her head and couldn't speak.
