Chapter 246: Deep in the Mountain (2) (1/2)

”Shall we explore the mountain?” Lin Xiao asked while looking at Princess Lan Yi Hua.

The princess looked around then nodded. She didn't really like narrow place like this, but if they got out and those people were still around, they would risk themselves in danger once more. One way or another, they have to figure out the method to get stronger.

'Shall I have spar with her?'

While Lin Xiao was thinking, they made their way deep into the mountain. There were several pathway and the flow of Qi was quite disturbed in this place, making it hard for them to trace the way they were going correctly.

Princess Lan Yi Hua stopped after a while. ”There's something at the front.”

”It feels like a beast. Maybe we shouldn't get too close.” Lin Xiao furrowed his brows. He had also sensed that the Qi was rich in front of them, but there was also faint pressure that was hidden very well. If not because of his rich experience in the forest, he might not be able to sense it.

”We can make a detour.”

”That sounds good.”

The two of them have just planned to move when they felt the ground quake. Sound of something slithering on the rock could be heard before hissing sound came near them.

”It's a snake!”

”RUN!”

The two of them quickly turned around and ran as fast as possible. There was no reason for them to stand and wait anymore because of the danger.

Hiss!

A large black snake appeared not far behind them. The aura around it clearly told them that the snake was at least beast rank 5, which was above what they could deal with their current power. Thinking of the bear they faced not long ago, the best they could do was to scratch and annoy it.

And this snake… it shouldn't be that much different with the way it looked like.

Hiss!

The snake rushed forward aiming towards Princess Lan Yi Hua with its mouth wide open.

Lin Xiao immediately brandished his sword and then swing it towards the snake that was coming at them. The snake was faster than what they could possibly run, so they would be trapped if they tried to run away from it.

Chilling Lake Sword, Fifth Stance.

The temperature dropped considerably the moment Lin Xiao used the technique. Princess Lan Yi Hua turned her head around only to see the sword Qi flew towards the snake mouth behind her. The mouth was one of the weak point of a snake, so the attack immediately hurt the snake badly.

Bang!

Hiss!

The pain caused the snake to recoil its body and trashed everywhere. Earthquake was inevitable with the way things were going on. The two of them used this chance to try expending their distance from the snake again.

”What the hell is that?” Lin Xiao asked the question he had always wanted to ask. Never he thought that he would be able to see a beast in this kind of remote place.

Princess Lan Yi Hua's face was grim. ”It's a Molten Black Snake and its only living in Hua Lan Kingdom. Based on what I know, there's no other place in this land that's suitable for the snake.”

”…”

Lin Xiao felt that his luck was extremely bad. To think that he would encounter a beast that was only present in Hua Lan Kingdom. What was the chance?

”Any weakness?”

”The mouth is relatively weak. Also, the snake is afraid of fire.”
