Chapter 46: A Bloodcurdling Sense of Crisis (2/2)

But then Yun Wu's heart started fluttering violently as if she had just found secret treasure.

Because when she was connected with Soaring Dragon Scroll, she was informed that what Soaring Dragon Scroll had documented was a comprehensive record of everything on the Shenzhou continent, including the locations of many lost treasures.

'My God. Doesn't it mean that I own a treasure map that shows me the locations of all the treasures in the world?'

'And it also documented the locations of the other three treasure maps that can summon temples.'

'This is way too...'

If if weren't for that Yun Wu was extraordinarily sensible, she probably would have jumped and burst into laugh by now.

But she also understood that she could never tell this amazing secret to anybody else.

Otherwise, people would never stop hunting her.

'Take a deep breath!'

In the blink of an eye, Yun Wu regained her usual composure.

'I have plenty of time for those in the future. Right now, the most important thing is to get an Internal Dan of a Chilian Snake.'

Without any hesitation, Yun Wu turned around and walked towards the depths of Magic Beasts Forest.

Heart-Intoxicating Flower?

Back then when she was stealing medicinal materials from the treasury vault of the royal palace, she had happened to get some Heart-Intoxicating Flowers!

She went straight into the depths of the forest.

At last, Yun Wu chose a rather broad grassy spot in the forest and took out a Heart-Intoxicating Flower about the size of a palm from her Storage Space.

That flower had been meant to be preserved, so it had been dried. Judging from its look, it should be more than a hundred years old. And it was still giving off a faint scent of medicine, so it should be effective.

But Yun Wu took all the Heart-Intoxicating Flowers out of her Storage Space, rubbed them into pieces and scattered them over the grass in case the scent was not thick enough.

After that, she leaped onto a nearby tree and waited, planning to take action on an appropriate occasion after Chilian Snake arrived.

But what happened next went far beyond Yun Wu's previous expectation.

As the saying went -- 'You should always expect the unexpected.'

After Yun Wu waited for about an hour, a zephyr blew across the grass.

”Hiss...”

Finally, that familiar sound made by a snake was heard.

A flicker of excitement crossed the eyes of Yun Wu who was hiding on a trunk.

'It finally came!'

Tightly holding the dagger in her hand, the figure on the trunk arched her back and was ready to leap down, cut its neck and extract its Internal Dan the moment the Chilian Snake showed itself.

But in the next second,

”Hiss...”

”Hiss -- Hiss...”

A red Chilian Snake as thick as a man's fist slowly slithered out of the grass.

And shortly after that!

Two...

Three...

...

As if all the Chilian Snakes in this forest had come here, soon the grassy area was thick with red bodies of those snakes.

Those hundreds of snakes and their hisses gave Yun Wu, who was on the tree trunk, numb scalp.

If there were only four or five of them, maybe she could still handle them.

But there were several hundred Chilian Snakes down there. How was she supposed to fight them?

'Damn it!'

'Did I used too many Heart-Intoxicating Flowers?'

Watching the large numbers of Chilian Snake down there, Yun Wu could neither jump down nor leave. She didn't know whether she should smile or cry.

”Hiss...”

Suddenly, a bloodcurdling hiss was heard.

Those Chilian Snakes which had been enjoying their meal became somewhat restless after hearing that hiss.

”Hiss...”

'What's going on?'

Yun Wu looked at the source of the hiss. Instantly, her heart lurched violently and her feet slipped, which nearly caused her falling off the trunk.

'Is the scent of Heart-Intoxicating Flower really so tempting to snakes?'

She saw that a giant snake the skin of which looked like iron was slithering over from the opposite side of those thick grass.

The body of the snake was at least twice as thick as a human body. On its head, there was a crimson yellow crown. Its eyes were as big as lanterns, looking spooky, hideous and ferocious.

It was a Tie IV Iron-Clad Snake of Earth Attribute. It had strong attacking power and was highly venomous.

If there was a crimson yellow crown on its head, then it was about to break through into Tier V.

Yun Wu didn't know whether or not she was too lucky. That oncoming Iron-Clad Snake happened to have a crimson yellow crown on its head.

It meant that this was an Iron-Clad Snake that was about to break through into Tier V.

”Hiss...” flicking its crimson forked tongue, the Iron-Clad Snake spewed a cloud of foul black fog out of its mouth.

All the grass and trees touched by the black fog quickly withered and decayed as if they had been corroded by sulphuric acid.

”So venomous!” Yun Wu suddenly felt a bloodcurdling sense of crisis.

Especially when she saw that the Iron-Clad Snake abruptly opened its oversized mouth, spewed out a cloud of foul black fog and slithered towards those Chilian Snake which were restlessly on their escape.

Those Chilian Snakes which were touched by the black fog let out several hisses repeatedly. Although they were corroded by the poison, it seemed that they passed out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gigantic tail of the Iron-Clad Snake swept around and sent tens of Chilian Snakes straight into its huge mouth.

Watching this ”devouring” scene from the trunk, Yun Wu felt a chill in the heart.
