Chapter 152 152 Still Shocked
Su Xiao dared not move, inwardly complaining to Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, I told you to observe your surroundings, how could you ignore such a big snake?"
"I'm sorry, Master, I was so focused on observing those three humans," Xiao Liu explained weakly, feeling quite guilty.
Fortunately, the snake was just passing by and had already slithered away from her feet.
Just as Su Xiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Shang Ziming's voice behind her, "Xiao Xiao, are you alright?"
The large snake, which was supposed to be moving away, seemed to have heard the noise and suddenly turned its head.
Su Xiaoxin was in her throat, about to warn Shang Ziming, when a throwing knife flashed past her eyes and landed on the snake's vital spot.
Quick, accurate, and ruthless.
"Wow, so cool!" Xiao Liu couldn't help but exclaim in the space.
Just then, the snake's tail lashed out in an arc towards her, directly facing Su Xiao. Startled, Su Xiao reacted instinctively, crouching down to jump backward. Predictably, she lost her balance, slipped, and was about to fall to the ground.
Su Xiao knew he was doomed. In the blink of an eye, the only protective measure he could take was to close his eyes and cover his face with his hands.
Just then, a pair of large hands gripped her waist tightly and lifted her up.
Su Xiao's feet were dangling in the air, and she was frantically trying to struggle when she was flipped over and hoisted onto someone's shoulder.
"Ah..." Su Xiao finally couldn't hold back and cried out.
"Xiaoxiao, Shang boy, what's going on?"
The commotion attracted the attention of the others, who gathered around.
"Master, I'm fine, please slow down." Su Xiao was startled when she saw the old man rushing over and quickly explained.
"Are you alright? That's good, that's good." Old Man Hua slowed his pace slightly, no longer in a hurry.
Su Xiao patted Shang Ziming on the back and whispered, "Put me down quickly."
Shang Ziming held her calf with one hand and carried her basket with the other, leaving the June Snow Forest before putting her down.
With her feet firmly on the ground, Su Xiao jumped up and down a few times before stopping, unable to help but utter her feelings, "That scared me to death."
"Wow, we can have an extra meal tonight." Cheng Jiulang picked up the large snake from the ground, pulled out the dagger, and blood gushed out immediately.
"Oh my, it's so big!" Old Man Hua exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it.
Seeing this, and understanding what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel lingering fear and asked with concern, "Xiaoxiao, were you scared? Don't be afraid."
"I...I'm not afraid." Su Xiao answered verbally that she wasn't afraid, but her body language betrayed her. When she saw Cheng Jiulang carrying the snake over, she immediately shrank behind Shang Ziming.
Upon seeing this, Shang Ziming quickly winked at Cheng Jiulang, "Take it further away."
Cheng Jiulang's long stride suddenly veered off course in mid-air, heading towards Tian Sheng's direction.
Shang Ziming nodded in satisfaction. Bringing him out was definitely the right decision.
Upon seeing this, Su Xiao's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
"You can still..." Shang Ziming looked at her, hesitating to speak.
Su Xiao glanced at the June Snow leaves in the basket, and seeing that there were quite a few, she said, "Shall we go and look around somewhere else?"
Anyway, she doesn't want to stay here for the time being; she has psychological trauma from it.
"Okay, you'll come with me?" Shang Ziming looked at her questioningly.
"Mmm." Su Xiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
This couldn't be better; she needs close protection right now.
Shang Ziming was very satisfied with the result he wanted.
Then, the group split into two groups again. Shang Ziming took Su Xiao, while Tian Sheng and Cheng Jiulang were assigned to protect Old Man Hua.
