Chapter 170 The Evil Snake

With a powerful throw, the gorilla successfully tossed another tiger into the city.

The large, white hand reached down to grab the ground, but missed.

It reached out to grab another beast in confusion, and this time, the gorilla watched helplessly as the beast was swatted away by a pink object.

Gorilla: ?!

Its seemingly clumsy and massive body nimbly turned around, and out of the corner of its eye, it finally spotted a suspicious creature.

A small pink snake.

The gorilla frantically waved its paws to try and catch the snake, but each time it thought it had caught one, it would open its paws to find nothing there.

Otherwise, the little snake would always slip away between its fingers, almost like a loach reincarnated.

The giant python swam nimbly, dodging and weaving. The woman's face, which the gorilla was protecting, flashed by briefly, but the python still saw it clearly.

It recognized that woman.

Seeing the little snake open its mouth to bite its master, the gorilla scooped up the woman and placed her securely on its shoulder, using its right hand to protect her tightly.

"Roar!" the gorilla roared deafeningly.

That dead snake!

It became enraged and desperately pounded its remaining hand against the giant python, hitting the ground repeatedly.

A cloud of muddy yellow dust rose into the air, and the beady eyes squinted in a rare moment of confusion. Its already poor eyesight, like those of a snake, was made even worse by the hazy appearance.

Suddenly, the giant python felt a tight grip on its seven-inch mark; it was being held by a large hand and lifted up.

It twisted its body desperately, its sharp teeth biting at the deadly Asura finger, its head swinging left and right as it tore at it fiercely.

The gorilla was in pain, but it refused to let go.

As the dust settled, a cloud-like white creature suddenly appeared, leaped, and bit the gorilla's arm.

The gorilla looked at the white ball hanging under its arm, its snow-white fur, so similar to its own, dazzling its eyes.

Not only its fur, but it also stared blankly at the familiar snow wolf, stopping what it was doing.

The woman on its shoulder yelled at it, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and kill them all, or I'll kill you!"

But the gorilla remained staring intently at the snow wolf, unmoved as the wolf gnawed at it.

The woman glared at it. At this crucial moment, she knew she had to rely on herself. She took out a paper packet from her sleeve and sprinkled the powder inside towards the snow wolf.

This is the most successful animal taming medicine developed by the Northern Rong. The prescription requires all sorts of strange herbs, which is also the reason why they planned to attack Yuan City.

One of the herbs plays a most important role.

It is the molted skin of a snow worm.

Once a wild beast inhales a taming medicine containing snow worm molts, it will become completely obedient to the holder of the snow worm mother.

Without exception.

The woman crossed her legs, eagerly anticipating the performance that was about to unfold.

The giant python felt the large hand gripping it loosen considerably, and it burst out in one go, seeing the woman scattering an unknown powder at the snow wolf.

It swam toward the snow wolf with all its might, while the wolf was still tearing at the fur in its mouth, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

"bump!"

The giant python rammed its head into the white cloud, and as it fell, it was caught off guard and inhaled a mouthful of the vicious animal-taming drug.

Looking at the snake writhing in agony below, the woman covered her mouth and laughed triumphantly.

Just as the snow wolf was about to run over, a ferocious beast suddenly pounced on it, forcing it to fight back.

The woman's eyes turned vicious, and she said through gritted teeth, "Go kill Xie Mianmian."

Upon hearing this, the giant python stopped moving, its beady eyes turning cold and ruthless. It stiffly twisted its body and slithered towards the city wall.

Despite its flawless appearance, it was defeated by the light and fluffy powder.

The snow wolf was fighting with the enemy beast when, in a brief moment, it turned its head and saw the giant python leave unharmed.

Unaware of its surroundings, it thought, "It's alright, old father, leave this to me, woof."

On the city wall, Xie Mianmian held her bow, trying her best to aim at the enemy beasts that were constantly moving below.

A dark shadow loomed over her. She turned her head and saw a giant python, standing tall and erect.

She felt something was wrong.

Xie Mianmian suddenly realized that the height was wrong. No matter how long the python was, it always bent itself to be the same height as her.

It could be said that over the past ten years or so, the giant python has accompanied Xie Mianmian as she grew taller, little by little.

Only a giant python can keenly perceive a child's growth at every stage.

Xie Mianmian put down her bow and arrow. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The giant python opened its blood-red maw at her, its sharp teeth gleaming a ghastly white in the sunlight.

Xie Mianmian leaned closer, cupped its big head in both hands and examined it carefully. Could it be that some of its teeth had broken?

But they were all intact, clean, and sharp.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and only one thought kept echoing in its mind: Kill her, kill the person in front of it!

The cold-blooded animal opened its mouth even wider, its pair of sharp teeth on its upper jaw fully exposed, aimed at Xie Mianmian's head.

No one around, including Xie Mianmian herself, considered the possibility that the giant python might harm people.

For over a decade, everyone knows who the gentle and adorable little dog snake loves most.

Xie Mianmian's anxious face was reflected in his merciless eyes, a hint of struggle flashing in them.

A flood of thoughts suddenly came to mind.

"So it turns out I'm a seasonal favorite of Mianmian, then I love her very much."

"This is the first chicken I've ever roasted. I'm saving it for Mianmian, in case she wakes up and wants some."

"No! It was born a gentle little snake, and it will die a little ghost of hers, sob sob sob."

Hmm...

Kill her... I can't kill her... Kill her...

A fleeting warmth returned to the beady eyes, but in the next instant, it was swallowed up by the endless darkness.

The python's mouth began to close, and in the next instant it would bite off the head of the person in front of it.

But for some reason, it hesitated to bite, like a crocodile, its mouth open in a daze yet persistently.

The woman sitting on the gorilla's shoulder gazed at the scene on the city wall, muttering to herself.

Finally, the python snapped. Just then, Xie Mianmian lowered her head, seemingly searching for the brocade pouch, and stopped looking at it.

It closed its eyes, about to bite down hard.

"oops."

Xie Mianmian accidentally dropped the brocade pouch on the ground. As she bent down to pick it up, she felt an unusual weight on her hair and heard a "crack".

Something seems to be broken.

She was about to look up when she discovered that the giant python had bitten her hair bun.

She broke free with a struggle.

Xie Mianmian had a bad feeling. She fumbled and pulled out a hairpin. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it had indeed been bitten by the giant python.

Years ago, the mermaid gave her a protective scale, which she loved dearly. The Seventh Prince specially ordered the craftsmen in the palace to wrap the edges of the protective scale with gold thread, making it into an exquisite hairpin.

The once flawless scales now have a hole bitten into them by the giant python!

Xie Mianmian jumped up and slapped the dazed head, yelling as she did so, "Bad snake, bad snake, bad snake."

I even went to find medicine for its wounds, but it's gone astray and is now chewing on things randomly.

The python was flattened flatter and flatter with each slap, its tongue licking its teeth.

Ah, what did it just bite? It wasn't a person's neck, was it? It's so hard; its teeth are really going to break this time.
