After five years of searching, Chen Yuanhui was lucky enough to meet the legendary white-tailed snake for the first time. Compared with others, he seems to have been very lucky. Yao people have lived in secluded places in high mountains for generations, with apes as companions and birds as neighbors. They regard "Little Qinglong" as a brother and worship it as a totem. However, for thousands of years, the white-tailed dragon was only the protagonist in ancient legends, and people could never see it on the earth. This meeting has aroused Chen Yuanhui's numerous expectations. To understand Mangshan welding head, it is not a meeting, but an in-depth observation.

Chen Yuanhui still remembers the bite marks on the workers who were bitten by welding heads in Mangshan. In the face of this strange snake, everything is unknown. As a unique species, Mangshan Mountain has a unique natural advantage in Chen Yuanhui. Studying Mangshan welding head changed Chen Yuanhui from a doctor to a more famous "snake doctor". However, this role change made him experience the test of death nine times.

The last injury almost killed him. After he survived, he lost a finger, and this time he had a deeper understanding of the toxicity of the most dangerous snake, which happened in the summer of three years ago.
