Chapter 153 (2/2)
In the midst of the booming and rumbling, a large stone fell on the ground and the originally narrow cave entrance was being widened at a visible rate…
‘This is bad! It seems like this bird already found out that the cave contained snakes or other food!’
Ning Xuemo and Number Two already retreated to the deepest part of the cave, but at this rate, they would be dragged out before 15 minutes passed.
They couldn’t just wait here for their deaths.
After breaking the rocks for a while, the bird once again extended its tongue into the cave.
Ning Xuemo used her fastest speed to apply a strong poison on Number Two’s and her blades. The moment the tongue got deep enough, they ran towards it and slashed it…
“CHEE-CHEE!” Two shrilling cries echoed as the two swords cut into the tongue. Fresh blood sprayed out…
The bird issued a miserable shriek as it hurriedly withdrew its tongue.
If they hadn’t retreated fast enough, they would have been dragged out along with the tongue.
From the outside, the cries of the falcon as well as the sounds of frantic flapping could be heard. It was obvious the falcon was in immense pain.
After a while, the bird’s cries stopped, and the sounds of rocks being madly broken started up again. The bird was obviously infuriated! The speed at which the rocks were being broken had increased by quite a bit.
‘The poison is completely useless.’
‘That’s right. This bird eats poisonous creatures everyday. Its resistance towards poison must be very high. The plan to use poison was completely fruitless.’
Furthermore, the bird seemed to have learned its lesson from earlier. It didn’t use its tongue to probe anymore, instead it was just madly crashing into the cave entrance.
“Hiss…” The sound was issued from behind them. When they turned around, they saw the golden snake had opened its eyes and was rushing towards the two of them making threatening noises and little by little encroaching on their space…
Ning Xuemo subconsciously retreated a step… a step towards the cave entrance where a large bird’s beak was waiting for them.
