Chapter 110 Giant Python
Chapter 110 Giant Python
Long Xiaoxiao shouted, decisively lifting her leg and running towards the giant yellow turban python, her steps swift.
In the magical world, snakes are considered distant relatives of dragons, but they are so far apart that there is actually little interaction between the two races. Xiaoxiao had only seen a few snakes when she was very young.
Seeing such a large snake now, Long Xiaoxiao felt a sense of familiarity, and even thought that it looked a bit like her cousin with golden scales.
Yuan Wang watched as Long Xiaoxiao was launched like a small missile. He was startled and his pupils shrank. However, when he thought that Long Xiaoxiao was a dragon after all, and dragons were much more powerful than snakes, he hesitated and did not make any further moves.
Everyone shared the same thought, so they simply watched quietly as Long Xiaoxiao charged towards the golden python without stopping her.
The veterinarian turned around and saw Long Xiaoxiao poking at the giant python's head through the cage, seemingly muttering something to herself. Startled, she quickly went over to take Long Xiaoxiao away.
"Huh?" Long Xiaoxiao realized she had been lifted into the air, turned her head to look at the veterinarian in confusion, and blinked her innocent and cute eyes.
The veterinarian then realized it was Long Xiaoxiao, so he let go of her and silently put her down without saying a word.
The giant python, trapped in the cage, tried desperately to stick its head out and touch Long Xiaoxiao, but unfortunately it couldn't squeeze out. As a result, it became even more agitated and lashed the iron cage with its tail.
Long Xiaoxiao immediately turned around, reached her hand through the gap in the cage, and stroked the giant python's head, her soft little hand sliding on the golden scales.
Yuan Wang and the others behind him were assigned by the veterinarian to work with other docile animals, mostly smaller and less aggressive ones.
The cameraman kept the lens pointed at Long Xiaoxiao, while the other four were happy to relax and leisurely slack off on the side.
"Damn it, I'm terrified of snakes!"
"Upstairs, are you afraid of snakes but not Azure Dragons? Why is your homepage full of Azure Dragon videos?"
Can dragons and snakes be compared?
"I want to speak up for snakes [smile]. Snakes are cute too."
"So cute, take it away from me."
"Long Xiaoxiao should be used to these scale-covered creatures by now, right?"
"..."
Long Xiaoxiao gently soothed the giant python, whose anxiety and restlessness were caused by the torment of illness.
Because some animals refused to cooperate with injections and medication, the veterinarian was busy running around, while the giant python was neglected. In the end, Long Xiaoxiao saw that the giant python was in great pain, stood up, walked to the side, and tugged at the veterinarian's clothes.
"He's in pain," Long Xiaoxiao said, pointing to the giant python coiled in the cage.
The veterinarian finally administered the medicine to a little fox, but the next second he was pulled by Long Xiaoxiao to the giant python's cage, looking somewhat troubled.
"It...it's not very cooperative. We plan to treat it after you leave. Too many people could cause injuries or fatalities. Besides, it only has some superficial wounds, nothing serious."
They only discovered the strange abrasions on the snake's tail when they went to the snake park today, and seeing that it looked very listless, they brought it here for treatment.
Skin trauma?
Long Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. She roughly understood what a superficial wound was, but based on the information she had just received, this giant python was definitely not as simple as a superficial wound.
"No, no! He's in pain in other places too!" Long Xiaoxiao said anxiously.
Somewhere else?
The veterinarian became cautious. He carefully examined the python in the cage and found that something was indeed wrong.
It was so listless, and its tongue was flicking too infrequently. A healthy snake should flick its tongue every few seconds, but it only flicked it once every one or two minutes.
The veterinarian's expression turned serious, and he walked to the other side of the cage to examine the python's tail.
Long Xiaoxiao followed the veterinarian closely.
The atmosphere here became heavy, attracting Yuan Wang and the others who were standing nearby. Yuan Wang wasn't particularly afraid of snakes; she just disliked any animal that might pose a threat to her life. Now that she was certain the snake couldn't harm her, she decisively ran over to find Long Xiaoxiao.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Wang asked Long Xiaoxiao, looking down at her.
Long Xiaoxiao looked serious and earnest, appearing quite professional. She said to Yuan Wang, "This snake is sick and in a lot of pain."
Yuan Wang nodded in sudden realization and turned to look at the veterinarian beside him.
The veterinarian was examining the python's excrement and abdomen. After confirming that there was indeed a problem, he said with a serious expression, "It might be enteritis."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, looking at the veterinarian with an expectant expression, as if waiting for the veterinarian to relieve the python from its pain.
"Give them some oxytetracycline first," the veterinarian calmly instructed, then turned to get the prescription.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"What the heck? How did Long Xiaoxiao figure that out?"
"Did the snake tell her that itself?"
"It feels like... By the way, could Long Xiaoxiao start a live stream specifically to read minds for her pets?"
"Waaaaah, I really want to know who my dog likes more."
"If Wangcai were still here, it would definitely have a lot to tell me."
My condolences to the person upstairs.
"..."
The veterinarian returned with the prescription, prepared the medicine, and fed it to the giant python. At this time, Yuan Wang and the other three were gathered around the python's cage, watching the veterinarian's actions with curiosity.
Seeing that the giant python had taken the medicine but was still listless, Long Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. She went over again and put her hand directly into the cage on the python's head.
"Uncle, he's still in pain." Long Xiaoxiao looked up at the veterinarian with a puzzled expression.
The veterinarian was both amused and exasperated, explaining, "What medicine can cure an illness as soon as it enters the stomach? You have to wait for the medicine to kill the bacteria."
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in surprise. This was quite astonishing to her, as there was never a case in the magical world where medicine had been taken and the illness had not improved.
The Light Witch's herbs might take a little longer to work, but at least you can feel a significant sense of relaxation right after taking them. Why is healing in this world so troublesome?
Long Xiaoxiao pouted, looking at the giant python with a pained expression.
"Uncle System." After thinking for a moment, Long Xiaoxiao simply called out the system's name in her mind.
The system responded lazily.
"Hmm... I want to make sure the snake doesn't feel so much pain," Long Xiaoxiao said, her tone slightly coquettish.
The healing talent she had previously redeemed from the system shop could only be used freely in her dragon form, and was almost impossible to use in her human form. However, as her energy gradually increased, Long Xiaoxiao could still vaguely feel the healing talent within her body.
Upon hearing Long Xiaoxiao's words, the system hesitated for a moment, but then thought that this might allow it to harvest more faith points, so it finally agreed.
"Then try using your healing talent. If it still doesn't work, I'll check the shop for any fast-acting medicines."
