Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When the old man saw them tense up like they were facing a formidable enemy, he couldn’t help but shout: “Sit down! What are you so nervous about?
That sound is very far from here.”
After he said this, everyone sat down awkwardly. However, no one was at ease.
Instead, everyone was listening vigilantly as to whether the wolf was approaching them.
As the night deepened, they gradually fell asleep due to their mental and physical exhaustion. In the middle of the night, when they were deep in their slumber, one of the men on guard screamed suddenly and fell down.
That scream woke everyone up and they jumped up suddenly and asked: “What happened?”
“Hiss hiss!”
However, it wasn’t the voice of their own clansmen who answered their question, but the hissing sounds of snakes spitting their tongues out in the dark night. The chaotic sounds of the snakes didn’t sound like they were very far away, and there seemed to be more than one or two snakes.
“Oh no! It’s a group of snakes! Ah.. ‘
Someone screamed in surprise and in the next moment, his neck was bitten by a venomous snake that had flown towards him. The man screamed in pain and grabbed the snake’s head and body tightly, trying to shake it off. However, because the venomous snake had bitten his neck so tightly, it could not be shaken off. Therefore, he cut off the poisonous snake instead.
The sound of flesh being torn and blood being splattered was heard. In the dark night, the scent of the blood of snakes spread through the air. In the next moment, the man whose neck had been bitten turned black and purple on his face and lips. He screamed and howled and dark poisonous blood flowed out from the seven apertures of his face.
“Hiss hiss… Hiss hiss…”
“Be careful! Everyone, be careful! The snakes are highly poisonous!”
Screams of exclamations could be heard through the night and everyone in the Ouyang Family was in chaos. In the dark night, the lightning-fast venomous snakes flew through the air and bit them. Those who were bitten died in an instant.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Suddenly, there was a roar of flames and a fire had started burning. Someone shouted: “Be vigilant! Be vigilant! Everyone, come over here!”
A dozen older family members stabilised the situation. After the chaos, only forty or fifty people were left standing around the ring of fire. There was a medicinal scent in the air. The venomous snakes that were coiled around the branches, wrapped around the corpses, and hidden between the weeds retreated quickly upon smelling the scent in the air.
Although they had retreated, they didn’t leave. They hovered at a distance and stared at them. The snakes’ mouths opened slightly and their poisonous tongues flicked out, making a frightening hissing sound.
Everyone looked around in shock with cold sweat on their foreheads. They were afraid that the snakes would suddenly jump through the flames and rush towards them.
The old man calmed his mind and after glancing at Patriarch Ouyang, he
looked at the middle-aged man next to him with a solemn expression and asked: “Haven’t we sprinkled snake repellant medicine all around the surroundings? Why are there still snakes attacking us?”
The middle-aged man looked awful at this moment and after glancing around, he said: “These are not the usual snakes. The ordinary snakes would have moments of easing up on their attacks and wouldn’t kill people in an instant as quickly as they did.”
He paused, then continued speaking: “Moreover, I have already sprinkled snake repellant medicine all around. It’s obvious that they didn’t have any effect on these snakes. Although I have just sprinkled more medicine, they have retreated but still haven’t left. I’m afraid that once the effects of the medicine wears off, they will rush forward again..”
