ch 8.2 - A Snake! (2/2)

Perhaps it was too close to home, after searching for a half a day, she did not find anything worthwhile to be transplanted. She leaned against a pine tree and sighed.

Did she just wasted all that time?

It looked to be around 3 – 5 PM, she needed to head back home or it would get unsafe!

She wasn’t happy but she was about to turn around and make another trip tomorrow. After all, it would take a bit of time to get up to level 50.

Hissssss….

She was just about to turn around when she heard a strange noise. She had a bad feeling, it sounded like something was coming toward her.

She grew up in a village. She has instinct in these matters. She looked toward the direction where the noise came from.

Once she was able to locate the origin of the noise, she had goose bumps and felt all her hairs stood on their ends.

Snake!

A snake several meters long appeared in front of her.

A banded krait (Chinese literal meaning – “golden ring snake”)!

It got it’s name from the gold-ring like scales. Top 3 snakes in China, extremely poisonous!

Why was it here?

Cheng Xiao Xiao recognized the snake. Even though it’s extremely poisonous, but it’s photo-sensitive. Normally it curls up with its head under it’s belly the day time. It has a mild temperament and slow in motion, doesn’t usually go after people. It’s only active in the night time when they hunt!

This one almost looked like it was targeting her intentionally!
