Ye Ningyuan and Xunuo rushed to the mountain. What they saw was absolutely terrifying.

There were snakes and scorpions everywhere. Because it was daytime, they could see what they looked like clearly. Green, gold, black, brown, yellow—it was very colorful… Snakes that were all over the mountains wriggled, while numerous poisonous scorpions crawled on the trees. They surrounded Silver Cloud and Xu Xing, ready to attack. Xu Xing had never seen such a big scene. She was horror-stricken, and her face turned pale. Silver Cloud hugged her tightly in his arms.

He comforted her by stroking her hair calmly. They were picking wild fruits beside the fruit tree when the poisonous creatures surrounded them.

Xu Xing’s face paled. She bit her lower lip and trembled while looking at them getting closer.

Those snakes were terrifying.

The air that was filled with the fragrance of flowers before had turned disgustingly unpleasant, fishy, and smelly. Xu Xing trembled like a fallen leaf. No matter what Silver Cloud said, she could not calm down.

They were standing on high ground, and there was a layer of shiny golden powder scattered around them. They didn’t know what that was, but the snakes could not get near them because of it. However, the powder had only covered one meter of the land around them, and the effect of it would weaken after half an hour. When it happened, the snakes would swallow them alive.

“Silver Cloud, I’m scared. Why are there so many snakes?” Xu Xing grabbed his shirt in fear. It was indeed a scary scene to watch. There were snakes everywhere, probably thousands of them surrounding the two of them. Big and small in different colors, they were all waiting to swallow them alive.

The snakes were literally everywhere, either slithering on the ground or wrapping themselves on a tree.

“Gosh, how did they get out?” Ye Ningyuan looked at the snakes in shock. He looked at Silver Cloud and Xu Xing at a distance of fifty meters apart, with the snakes in between them.

An Xunuo was also stunned. She didn’t know what to do either.

‘So many snakes. We are in trouble.’

She and Ye Ningyuan stood outside the area infested with snakes. She recognized many of the snakes, and they were all rare and poisonous snakes that usually hid in a rainforest. The toxicity inside them was no joke.

Although they would not cause immediate death, one would definitely die within an hour if bitten by them.

Ye Ningyuan had long known that there was a snake cave on the island and that inside it lived thousands of poisonous snakes. He found out about it accidentally and had even observed them using a satellite.

Although they were poisonous, they had never left the forest. It’s as if something on the trees on the periphery of the forest had stopped them from leaving. Moreover, they seemed to be nocturnal animals. They would stay in their cave most of the time during the day.

So, he assumed that they were of no harm. He had also warned Phoebe to not go near the mountainous area, even during the day. ‘Nothing had happened all these years, but why are all the snakes out all of a sudden?’

It looked as if all the snakes in the cave were out. With cold eyes that were filled with greed, they stared at their prey.

Ye Ningyuan felt that something was wrong.

It didn’t seem like a normal attack of snakes, but more like someone had summoned them over. Or maybe, Silver Cloud and Xu Xing had touched something that they shouldn’t have. It had been long since someone went into the mountains. Could it be because the both of them had intruded their territory?

“What should we do?” An Xunuo was nervous. No matter how smart she was, she didn’t know how to resolve the situation.

The dense forest blotted out the sky and covered the sun. There were many snakes on the tree as well. Using a helicopter to rescue them wasn’t a choice. If they try to burn them, they might be agitated and injure Silver Cloud and Xu Xing.

‘So what should we do?’

Ye Ningyuan narrowed his eyes. Xu Xing saw them, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. Unlike Xu Xing, Silver Cloud looked at the snakes in front of him with a calm gaze. Nobody knew what was on his mind. It was impressive of him to be able to stay calm.

Ye Ningyuan did not know what to do either. If he attacked the snakes, it would alarm all of them. Furthermore, it would take a while if they killed the snakes one by one. Although he could face strong enemies easily, the power of nature had defeated him. He was at a loss.

“Think of something, or they will die here,” An Xunuo said.

Just as Ye Ningyuan and Xunuo brainstormed for ideas, a small golden snake that was on the tree swooped down on Silver Cloud and Xu Xing suddenly. The snake aimed for Silver Cloud’s shoulder and he felt numb instantly. Xu Xing screamed. Silver Cloud grabbed the snake and threw it out, breaking it into several sections. Silver Cloud’s lips turned black and he felt faint.

Ye Ningyuan and An Xunuo witnessed it clearly. He was poisoned by an extremely poisonous snake.

“Silver Cloud, Silver Cloud, what is happening to you? Please be fine… Ningyuan!” Xu Xing shouted anxiously. The group of snakes started moving toward them as if they knew that the powder had lost its effect against them.

Ye Ningyuan panicked. He even wanted to fight his way in using the stupidest way, regardless of the danger.

Before he could do so, he heard a sharp whistling. An Xunuo put her thumb and index finger by her mouth and whistled. The whistling echoed in the mountain, almost piercing through Ye Ningyuan’s ears. He covered his ears subconsciously.

The whistling sound echoing in the mountain was long and high-pitched. Suddenly, all the snakes that were moving retreated up to the north. Within fifteen minutes, the place was cleared as if all the snakes that were there a moment ago were just an illusion.

“How did you…”

“Go and save him. He will die if the poison stays in his body,” An Xunuo said indifferently. Ye Ningyuan also knew that there was no time to delay anymore. Silver Cloud had already fallen into a coma, and his face had turned dark. He carried Silver Cloud and left, while Xu Xing, who was drenched in tears, followed him.

An Xunuo tucked her lips, closed her eyes, and blew a whistle. Within moments, hundreds of colorful snakes came to her, gathering at her feet. They were beautiful but poisonous. A small golden snake wrapped itself around her feet, all the way to her right arm. Another green snake wrapped around her left arm, and a red snake also wrapped itself around her neck. They were deadly and poisonous, but they were very friendly to An Xunuo as if they had found their owner whom they hadn’t seen for years. They wrapped around her intimately. An Xunuo was a little stiff and cold at first because she was afraid that they would bite her. However, the snakes didn’t hurt her.

An Xunuo stretched out her hand, and one of the small golden snakes climbed into her hand. It curled up, sat on her hand, and flicked its red tongue, looking extremely fierce. Nonetheless, it stayed still on her hand throughout.
