In the bustling giraffe enclosure, a sudden cry of "Snake!" rang out, startling the onlookers who scattered in panic. Even as they ran, they kept glancing towards the source of the sound, wondering if there really was a snake.

A young woman, her face deathly pale, was seen jumping around in terror.

Perhaps she was too terrified, forgot to run away. She just thrashed her legs frantically, thinking that this would prevent her from being bitten by the snake.

This woman was none other than the fashionable woman who had smuggled Silver Ring into the zoo.

She intended to take out her phone from her shoulder bag to take a picture of the giraffe eating leaves, but when she looked down, she saw a snake at her feet.

The people around weren't blind. Although Silver Ring wasn't particularly large for a snake, her black and white stripes were too striking. Not only did they see her, but they also immediately recognized her.

—The banded krait.

Everyone cursed inwardly in horror: Damn it, how did a venomous snake get into the zoo? Is it trying to kill itself?

Although the banded krait is highly venomous, it is not a rare species in China. It is not only common in the wild, but snake farms also particularly like to keep this snake.

This snake is valuable from head to toe, with particularly high medicinal value. It's readily available in traditional Chinese medicine shops. Anyone with even a basic understanding of snakes can almost certainly recognize it.

A live venomous snake appeared at the zoo, which terrified the onlookers.

The woman was still jumping up and down when a man who had been in a panic saw that she was only focused on screaming and stomping her feet and didn't know how to run away. He grabbed her and hurriedly pulled her back.

Once they reached a safe distance, everyone stopped, feeling a wave of fear afterward.

"A banded krait?"

"Quick, go find the zoo manager..."

"Holy crap, when did the zoo start importing venomous snakes like the banded krait? Could they have just caught one from a snake farm to fill the numbers?"

"This guy is very venomous, be careful not to get bitten."

After recovering from their shock, everyone stared at the silver ring with the snake's body standing upright on the stone road and began to comment on it.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a snake. Watch me... We'll have snake soup tonight." Coming to their senses, some of the bolder ones began to stir, looking at Silver Ring as if it were a dish.

The woman's cry of "Snake!" startled not only the onlookers but also Yin Huan.

Staring at the fleeing crowd, Silver Ring's eyes were filled with astonishment and terror.

She flicked the snake's tongue rapidly, and the snake's head instinctively stood up, entering a defensive state.

The moment she assumed the pose, Silver Ring trembled violently: "..."

What did she hear?

Drinking snake soup?

...Someone wants to eat her!

Silver Ring was frightened, its snake body tense: No, I have to run, I can't be caught and made into soup.

Not wanting to be caught and cooked, Silver Ring's mind raced, and he looked around, trying to devise an escape route.

However, there were so many onlookers that all the roads in all directions were blocked. Silver Ring observed for a long time but couldn't find a safe way to escape.

Silver Ring is afraid of humans; this is a shadow etched into her bones since childhood.

Although Fuding Mountain is a large mountain, it is not uninhabited; people often venture into the mountain. When she was a child, she almost fell into the hands of a man with only one braid on his head.

Fortunately, although she was somewhat short, she was agile enough and strong enough. When the bad guy grabbed her vital parts, she managed to wrap her arms around his arm and break it, thus narrowly escaping death.

That was the first time she had ever encountered a human in her snake life, and also the first time she had ever been injured.

The memory was so vivid that even after so much time had passed, she still remembered every single movement of that man.

After she met her sworn brother, he repeatedly told her to stay away from humans.

According to my older brother, humans are the snake's greatest natural enemy, even more powerful than mongooses, and even he himself is no match for humans.

Her sworn brother was incredibly strong; even he was no match for a human, so she had no chance against them. Therefore, she would always avoid humans whenever she saw them and never dared to provoke them.

Yin Huan trembled, feeling as if every gaze directed at her was like a casual appetizer, a stark and blatant expression that sent chills down her spine.

The escape route was blocked, and the human who said he wanted to catch him and make soup was slowly approaching, carrying a long wooden stick.

Silver Ring trembled with fear, a thin mist rising in its snake eyes.

With her life at stake, even though she was terrified, Silver Ring had no intention of surrendering. She flicked out her tongue, parted her lips to reveal two gleaming white teeth, and threatened anyone who approached.

"Hiss hiss hiss—" Don't come any closer, or I'll bite you!

Snake language is too advanced for humans to understand.

Snakes are inherently fierce. This hissing sound, to human ears, sounds more like a provocation.

When Yin Huan revealed her small teeth, it actually startled the onlookers, causing them to take a few steps back. Even the bold man who wanted to grab her paused in his tracks.

She kept an eye on the crowd's reaction, and when she saw them backing away in fear, she quickly realized that they were also afraid of her.

A hint of surprise flashed in her round eyes. She mustered her courage, showed her little teeth, and tentatively swam forward a little.

As soon as she made that move, the onlookers instinctively took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Yin Huan's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself: There's hope!

So she resorted to her old trick, mustered her courage, and suddenly increased her speed, wanting to take advantage of the fact that these people were afraid of her to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

It would have been better if she hadn't run away; as soon as she did, something terrible happened!

Seeing her with her mouth open and running fast, everyone thought she was going to bite someone. A few of the bolder ones grabbed a stick from the side and started ganging up on Silver Ring.
