Picking up the damaged Earth Cage, Deng Guang gently fiddled with it. The connections between the grates were completely bent, and it could no longer be folded. "What a shame."
Qin Ziwen used a rock to smash the spearhead viper's head.
Beside him, Deng Guang looked at the mangled flesh and felt it was a bit of a waste.
He walked around to its back and lifted the spearhead viper by its tail. The snake was as thick as a grown man's arm. When he held his arm out straight, the snake's head still dangled on the ground with length to spare.
"What a shame. The venom glands seem to have been smashed. We can't eat this meat. It can only be used as bait for the Earth Cage."
Qin Ziwen recalled some biology he had learned before. "I remember that venom from poisonous snakes is a protein. Its toxicity is neutralized after being boiled in water."
Deng Guang held up the snake's corpse. "So, are you going to eat it? I can take it back for you."
Qin Ziwen coughed. "Let's just use it as bait."
