Upon seeing this, the embroiderer scrambled over and immediately placed the goose into her bamboo basket.

"I was really lucky today, I found a wild goose." The embroiderer's words were somewhat of a cover-up.

A smile appeared on Wen Nan's lips, but she didn't stop him.

With each step Wen Nan took, he hunted down a prey. The embroiderers, who managed to snatch it all, put it into their bamboo baskets.

In just a moment... the embroiderer's back was already heavy.

Wen Nan walked ahead, with the embroiderer following at a distance.

The trees were already half-buried, and Wen Nan walked in the snow, his calves submerged in it.

The embroiderers, too, faced obstacles in their actions.

Suddenly a sound came from the tree above.

Wen Nan looked up and his fingers suddenly tightened.

"Embroiderer, throw away the prey." The woman's expression was serious, and her voice carried a coldness that was barely perceptible to others.

"Why should I throw it away? I picked it up, it's all mine!" The embroiderer scoffed, raising her eyebrows slightly with an arrogant expression.

Wen Nan tightened his grip on the dagger hidden in his sleeve without making a sound.

"Hiss~" Suddenly a sound came from the tree, a chilling sound that appeared next to the embroiderer's ear.

The embroiderer didn't even have time to turn around and see what it was before she was about to run away.

It looked exactly like a python as thick as a man's thigh, coiled on the tree, stretching its neck and spitting out scarlet apricots as it looked at the embroiderer and Wen Nan.

Just as the embroiderer was about to turn away, Wen Nan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The two were standing under the tree, and the python was very close to them.

If the embroiderers were to make a move at this moment, their legs would be bound by the snow, and they would not be as fast as the python.

In the midst of heavy snow and the harsh winter, this snake came out in search of food.

The embroiderer threw her prey out, letting it eat its fill before returning to its burrow to hibernate.

They cannot act rashly.

Given the choice between dead prey and live prey, which is more likely to arouse the appetite of a predator?

The best course of action right now is to proceed slowly... If the embroiderers make any sudden movements and anger the python, then none of them will survive!

"Throw the prey out." Wen Nan's voice was cold as she gripped the embroiderer's wrist tightly, her tone carrying a hint of...command.

The basket on the embroiderer's back contained the prey, which was stained with bright red blood.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and a python as thick as a man's thigh would occasionally flick out its scarlet tongue to capture pheromones in the air.

Finally, his gaze settled on the embroiderer.

Wen Nan frowned, but the embroiderer still didn't move.

The embroiderer was just a village girl; she had never seen such a large python before.

The air smelled of urine, and the embroiderer was so frightened she peed herself.

The python flicked its scarlet tongue at the embroiderer.

The embroiderer's fingers trembled; she was terrified. But Wen Nan, standing beside her, dared not move rashly, for fear of accidentally attracting the python's attention.

Wen Nan kept urging the embroiderer on.

But suddenly a cold glint flashed in the embroiderer's eyes. She was unwilling to give up her prey, but... Wen Nan was just a superfluous person.

She should have died long ago. If she dies, she can take over the position.

...Although the embroiderer's hands were trembling, her resolve to change only grew stronger.

She grabbed Wen Nan's wrist tightly as if possessed, and Wen Nan never expected that the embroiderer would be so foolish at a time like this.

Wen Nan staggered a few steps in the snow.

Wen Nan frowned, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

Wen Nan's large movements quickly attracted the python's attention. Without thinking, the python opened its blood-red mouth and lunged at Wen Nan.

"Fool." Wen Nan pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and instantly threw away the bamboo basket he was carrying.
