Chapter 1211 Foreseeing Danger
At the moment when Leo pounced on Harriet, he pulled out his military knife and cut off the head of a viper in the tree that was about to bite Harriet.
Leo then held Harriet and rolled several metres into the grass at the side, while the severed head of the snake fell to the spot where Harriet had just been standing.
Red Rose and Blue Rose were walking at the end, and they both stopped in shock when they saw Leo fiercely pouncing on Harriet, and they also saw Leo using his knife to cut off the snake’s head.
With that, the body of the snake, about a metre and a half long, slid down from the tree to the ground.
Red Rose squealed, “Wow, such a big snake was cut by Leo. This snake is so beautiful.”
Blue Rose followed suit and exclaimed, “It was so close! This snake almost bit Miss Wallace, but fortunately Mr. Cohen found it in time to save her, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.”
Harriet was terrified when Leo inexplicably pounced on the ground, and when she heard them both say it was a snake, she shivered all over in fear.
Because Harriet was afraid of snakes, when Leo held Harriet down at that moment, Harriet heard that it was a snake, she clung to Leo’s waist and screamed with her eyes closed, “Don’t leave me … don’t leave me …! ”
At these words, Red Rose and Blue Rose laughed out loud.
Red Rose said with a smile, ”Miss Wallace, don’t rush! Later on you two will make a scene in the cave.”
Blue Rose chimed in, “Miss Wallace, go to the cave later …”
Leo was also embarrassed by Harriet’s embrace, so he dropped the saber in his hand and broke Harriet’s hand that was holding him, then stood up and picked up the saber and stuck it in his army shoe.
When Harriet saw that they were teasing her, she blushed with embarrassment.
“The snake is dead, don’t be afraid!” Leo laughed.
Then he reached out and pulled Harriet up from the ground.
Harriet, who stood up, was still trembling, hid behind Leo, peeked out half her head, looked at the dead snake as they were shining a torch on the ground, and couldn’t help but say, “This snake is so beautiful.”
A snake about a metre and a half long and bowl thick was dead on the ground.
This snake has two patterns of red and black inlaid colours, called the Devil’s Snake, a famous venomous snake in the world.
Devil’s Snake, although not in the top ten most venomous snakes in the world, is still not to be underestimated and can secrete 60 milligrams of toxin at a time enough to kill.
This snake, also known as the Australian ghost taipan, is highly venomous, but it is beautiful with radiant shimmering colours.
The snake is dead, its magnificent tail still wriggles from side to side.
“Haha, let’s go roast the snake.” Immediately, Red Rose’s eyes shone brightly as she bent down and picked the snake up with both hands, laughing.
When she heard that there was snake meat to eat, Harriet was not afraid at once. She followed behind Red Rose with a faint smile and asked, “I heard that snake meat is very nourishing.”
Red Rose nodded, “Yes, I like snake meat, when we were special forces in the wilderness training for survival, I always caught poisonous snakes to eat. Have you ever eaten it, Miss Wallace?”
Harriet shook her head with a smile, “I’ve never eaten one because I’m naturally afraid of snakes.”
Leo followed behind in silence, vaguely aware that there might be danger coming tonight.
He looked at the Swiss watch in his hand. It was 9. 30 p. m., which was still early.
They then made their way to the cave, where the campfire was still burning brightly.
Leo was drenched and had no choice but to dry his clothes over the fire.
In this rainforested desert island, it is easy to catch a bad cold if he is constantly wet.
Soon after, he stripped off, leaving only his shorts on, and sat crouched by the campfire, spreading his clothes out with his hands to dry.
Leo’s strong and muscular body caused the three beauties to keep glancing at him, their eyes shining brightly.
Harriet’s heart thumped as she watched, and when she saw Leo glance at her, she immediately said to Red Rose with a scarlet face, “Shall we go roast snake meat for dinner?
Red Rose mumbled to Harriet and said with a low laugh, “Why don’t you go help Leo dry his clothes? Go on.”
Harriet, “…”
Blue Rose smiled, “Go on, you can’t help with this snake roasting, just go and help Mr. Cohen.”
Having said that, Blue Rose pushed the shy Harriet to Leo’s side.
Harriet had no choice but to cough, crouch her body, pick up Leo’s clothes and unfold her hands shakily as she dry them.
Red Rose began to pluck the skin from the snake, using her Swiss Army knife, she inserted the snake’s body against the stone wall and then used her knife to gently poke a circular slit in the top of the snake at the upper edge of the skin, separating the skin from the flesh.
Then she dropped the knife and grasped the opening in the snake’s skin with both hands, gently and evenly peeling the skin downwards.
Soon the entire skin of the snake was peeled off by Red Rose, and the flesh was crystal clear.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
After skinning the snake, Red Rose took it to a spring in the cave, cut open its belly, removed its guts and washed it clean.
As the snake was big and fat, Red Rose cut it into four sections with her sabre.
And she thread each section of snake meat with a wooden root.
Each of them can enjoy a section of snake meat.
Red Rose knew that snake meat should not be roasted inside the cave, lest the pungent aroma attract the glare of the geckos on the cliff top.
If the saliva of the tiger drips down and falls on the snake’s flesh, it is highly poisonous snake flesh, and if a person eats it, it will immediately kill a man with poison.
So Red Rose and Blue Rose set up another campfire outside the cave, piled up a stand of stones and roasted the snake meat, set on the stones and turned it evenly over and over again.
Harriet sat by Leo, humming an unknown song, helping Leo dry his clothes, her pretty face flushing.
At this point, Leo asked gently, “Harriet, are you sure about Blue Rose’s words that the ship was blown up by her?”
Harriet froze for a moment, and then said, “Not sure, why?”
Leo glanced at the two of them outside the cave, and then added, “You didn’t doubt what she said? By common sense, where would a time bomb come from on a ship?”
Harriet, “…”
So Leo whispered a few words in Harriet’s ear.
On hearing that, Harriet was so shocked that her whole body shivered and the clothes in her hands almost fell to the ground.
Leo added, “In an hour, we must scatter away, otherwise hundreds of pirate troops will immediately surround us, and we will be dead by then.”
Harriet nodded, “Okay, it is up to you.”
Half an hour later, the snake meat was roasted by Red Rose and Blue Rose, and they both called Leo and Harriet out to eat it.
By this time Leo’s clothes had dried and he put them on, so he went outside with Harriet to eat snake meat.
Due to the cold weather at night, everyone was in a much more pleasant mood as they ate the snake meat and drank alcohol.
