It was relieved to see that she was still intact.

The bullet hit the pillow, and white goose feathers flew all over the sky.

The bullet hole was less than a centimeter away from the woman's forehead, cutting off a strand of her hair.

"I'm giving you a warning. If you dare to play any tricks again, I can't guarantee that she will be intact next time." Tu Ran was very ruthless.

Ding Naiqing, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

To hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, it depends on Sister Ran.

Unfortunately, his arm was hurting so much that he couldn't lift it up, so he couldn't express his admiration at this moment.

Tubin looked at Tu Ran sinisterly, wishing he could swallow this despicable human being in one bite.

"You insidious human! She is one of your kind, yet you actually use her to threaten an alien like me."

Tu Ran laughed coldly, "No, no, no, she is not my kind. From the moment you showed concern for her just now, she has already stood on the opposite side of humans. From today on, she will enjoy the treatment of you aliens."

"She's not an alien!" Toobin emphasized sharply.

"I know she is not an alien," Tu Ran curled the corners of her lips, "but other humans don't believe my judgment, they only believe their own eyes."

After a long silence, Tubin stared at Tu Ran with countless eyes at the same time, "I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Tu Ran became interested. She originally just wanted to delay time and wait for the two helpers sent by Xie Xu to come and catch it.

Now it seems that she will have unexpected gains.

Tubin was silent for a while and looked at Ding Naiqing.

Ding Naiqing: ...

He had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a tail covered with silver armor plates stretched out from under Tubin's clothes, swept across, and hit him hard on the back of the head.

Ding Naiqing felt as if his head was split open and his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness instantly.

"What did you do?" Tu Ran gripped the machine gun tightly with his finger on the trigger.

"I just let him get some sleep," Toobin said calmly.

Tu Ran felt relieved a little.

"Now let's talk about our deal."

Tu Ran didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.

At the same time, she did not let her guard down and observed her surroundings out of the corner of her eye. She was also worried that the so-called transaction was just Tubin delaying time.

"Don't tell anyone else what you just saw. I'll give you a gift," Tubin said.

"What gift?"

She had to weigh the pros and cons.

"A gift that you need most right now."

What does she need most right now?

She needed so many things, her original body's memories, her original body's abilities, and to be alive...

"What exactly is it?"

"The past," Tubin said, "I can let you see the past, and let you have the real memory of Tu Ran."

Tu Ran's hand holding the gun trembled. Why did Tu Bin know that she was not the real Tu Ran?

And how could it let her see the past? The snake king covered with silver armor slowly crawled out of Tubin's body. The metallic color made it full of mechanical beauty. It stood up and was flush with Tu Ran. There was a sharp thorn like a rhinoceros horn at the end of its tail. It slowly moved the tail up and pierced into the back of its head. With the sound of the flesh stirring, its body trembled, and then a silver-white bead was lifted out by its tail.

Send it to Tu Ran.

When seeing this bead, Tu Ran instantly thought of the "stone" of the chicken monster.

"What is this?" Tu Ran blurted out.

"My inner elixir, if you eat it, you can have my abilities, see the past, and foresee the future."

She actually guessed it?!

This thing is actually the inner elixir! Tu Ran took a deep breath to make herself look less useless, "How can I believe that this is not a trick of yours? What if you used poison to trick me?"

The snake king was angry. "My hook snake clan is the most trustworthy and disdains to cheat. Unlike you humans, you are treacherous, cunning, untrustworthy, insidious, hypocritical, and ungrateful—"

"Stop." Tu Ran stopped it.

This snake has a deep hatred for humans.

If she didn't stop, she was afraid it would keep scolding her.

Reaching out to take the so-called inner elixir in front of him, Tu Ran was still a little worried, "You said that I can see the past after eating this inner elixir, I believe this, but, predict the future? If you can predict the future, didn't you expect that I would install eavesdropping devices on Li Wu and Liang Feng? And didn't you expect that I would threaten you with this woman's life?"

"There are level limits for predicting the future," the snake king was a little tired. Taking out the inner elixir had caused great damage to his body. "I'm only at the intermediate level. I can only see what will happen in the next five minutes. Moreover, every time I see it, I have to consume a huge amount of energy. I can't see the future anytime and anywhere."

"Can this thing see other people's past?" Tu Ran asked.

"Yes, that's why I saw your past. So I know you are not from this world. That's why I chose you to make a deal."

The Snake King could no longer hold on, and his body fell limply on the edge of the bed, very close to the unconscious woman's hand.

"What do you mean?" Tu Ran didn't quite understand what it said. Did it choose her to trade with just because she came from another world? "I hate the humans in this world. They are selfish, cruel, and greedy. They invaded my world and intended to destroy it in order to expand their territory. They also killed my race and decomposed, transformed, and reorganized our bodies."

"I hate them, I hate everyone in this world."

Its voice was extremely weak, but Tu Ran could still hear the deep hatred in its tone.

"You don't belong to this world. Everything you do is just to survive. I don't hate you. Moreover, I mobilized all my energy to look into the future. I saw... I saw you..."

The snake king imitated humans and laughed with his mouth open.

Although its smile is not pretty, it is a bit funny.

Tu Ran wanted to ask what exactly did you see? She was almost dying of curiosity.

But looking at the snake that was so weak that it had no breath left, she chose to listen in silence.

"You must keep your word and protect her."

This was the last word it left.

It fell into complete sleep beside the woman, its head cautiously approaching her but never making contact with her.

The world suddenly became quiet, and the sound of gunfire outside also became quieter.

Tu Ran looked at the bead in her palm and swallowed it without hesitation.

The moment the bead enters the throat, it turns into a stream of fragrant air that spreads throughout the limbs and bones.

In my mind, different pictures flashed by like flowing water, assembling into a complete story.

The first alien species brought out of the Threshold by humans was the hook snake.

This matter was kept secret and no one was told about it, including the pioneer team that was formed later.
