"Sizzle—"
Just as the snake's mouth, as big as a washbasin, was about to bite down, Yu Feng used his sword to block the stone, and his body flew four or five meters away in an instant, like a wild goose spreading its wings.
He stood on a pine branch, his deep eyes looking at the Viper King, a cold smile slowly flashing across his eyes, "Beast, if you have the guts, come and catch me. I want to see if you, you beast, can really eat people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another snake-attracting pill was thrown at the Viper King.
As luck would have it, the snake-luring pill struck the viper's bleeding eyeball.
The force was so great that it almost lifted the entire eyelid off.
Hiss—
The Viper King closed its eyes in pain.
Immediately, the huge snake body rushed towards the canopy of the pine tree, and the snake tail gathered its strength and swung hard at the pine branches. But just as the snake tail was about to touch Yu Feng's legs, it seemed as if the man had grown wings.
It flew far away again, leaving only an unintelligible sentence in the wind.
"You little beast, come at me if you dare..."
The Viper King was finally enraged and, disregarding everything else, lunged at Yu Feng with its forked tongue. The man and the snake moved with incredible speed, disappearing completely from the mountaintop in just a few leaps.
All that remained was a ground covered in damp water droplets and scattered pine needles.
Su Hua withdrew her gaze and stepped down the cliff.
The red trumpet lily on the mossy mountain rocks had only one petal left unopened...
But as soon as he took a step, a large, furry four-legged creature blocked his way.
She looked at the four family members, whose faces were all similarly tiger-like, and gently shook her head. "Good children, I'm tied up with ropes, so nothing will happen. Just wait for my good news at the top of the mountain."
The cliff face is almost vertical, so even if the White Tiger is powerful, it is still no match for the Viper King on such a steep cliff. Otherwise, the Viper King would not have been able to occupy the western side of this mountaintop for so many years.
"Meow... Meow roar..." Big White lay half-lying on the ground, timidly glancing at the cliff, only biting Su Hua's skirt and refusing to let go.
The mother tiger stepped forward, picked up the cub, and carried it onto her back. She then glanced at the male tiger and the youngest, telling them to stay obediently by the pine tree at the other end of the hook rope before nodding to Su Hua.
Su Hua was actually a little apprehensive. She didn't know the exact altitude of the mountain, but it was at least 1,400 or 1,500 meters above sea level. If she fell from here, she would be smashed to pieces, if not turned into a meat patty. Moreover, there was a nest of viper offspring as thick as hemp ropes waiting in the snake den. The task of picking the red flowers was not as simple as it seemed.
She thought for a moment, then sprinkled a small amount of snake repellent powder from her space onto her body, pinched her palms hard with her fingernails, and carefully pulled the rope down the cliff.
The cliff face is constantly soaked by the pool water, and its surface is covered with a thick layer of moss. When people step on it, there is almost no foothold, and it feels very slippery.
If it weren't for the rope tightly binding his waist, he probably would have fallen headfirst off the cliff with his first step.
Su Hua looked at her embroidered shoes, which had become soaked in an instant, and simply took them off and stuffed them into her spatial storage. She then slowly walked down the moss with her toes.
Human feet have a better grip than smooth shoe soles.
From the cliff to the red sky where the Viper King had previously been guarding, a distance of about twenty meters, Su Hua took a full cup of tea's time to walk, and her body was already soaked with sweat all the way.
At this moment, the last petal of the Red Cloud was unfolding.
As Su Hua gazed at the gradually emerging crimson-gold flower heart, two shallow dimples appeared on her lips. They had finally waited for this Red Cloud Flower, and now they had one more glimmer of hope for Xiao Jinhan's detoxification.
"Thud—"
The petals open, and the heart of the flower is revealed.
As the red trumpet lilies fully bloom, a sweet floral fragrance wafts through the air, somewhat reminiscent of the sweet aroma of fried sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes in the old days of Xingcheng, China.
Su Hua wrinkled her little nose and raised her hand to pluck the red flower. However, as soon as her fingers touched the stem, she felt the bright sky suddenly darken, and a sharp whistling sound came from behind her.
Before she could turn around, a huge shadow fell over her.
A drop of sticky liquid landed on my cheek.
Along with it came an extremely strong, fishy stench, almost identical to the smell emanating from the Viper King earlier.
Su Hua's heart skipped a beat. A blood-red snake tongue suddenly appeared before her eyes, and above that, the crimson pupils were devoid of any warmth, several times more chilling than the viper king from before.
There was even a female viper in that snake's den!
Before she could react, the next second, she was already inside the mother viper's mouth, her forked tongue already coiled around it...
However, at the moment of being caught up, her fingertips instinctively scooped Hongxiao into her palm.
"Hua'er!!!"
As soon as Xiao Jinhan arrived at the belly of Fuhu Mountain, he saw the lake-green figure fall into the snake viper.
Even though they were a kilometer apart, he could tell at a glance that it was her.
He felt all the blood rush to his head, and his toes reacted faster than his brain. He stomped hard on the cliff face and shot off like an arrow.
A sheer cliff, yet beneath his feet, seemed as flat as walking on level ground.
In just a few breaths, he had already leaped onto the snake's den.
Even so, when he stood on the blue stone cliff, he couldn't see Su Hua's shadow at all.
Only a small piece of lake-green cloth left on the moss proved that she had actually been there.
The giant snake, upon seeing the man before it, seemed to have its raging anger paused. Its cold, serpentine eyes swept over him, and its tail even curled up subtly.
"Still trying to escape?" Xiao Jinhan's deep eyes turned red as he watched the giant snake's movements. He clenched his fists, veins bulging on them, and tears welled up in his cold eyes. "Beast, spit out Hua'er now, or I'll take your life!"
Inside the bracelet's space, Su Hua had just placed Hong Xiao by the puddle to rest when she suddenly heard that cold voice and couldn't help but be stunned.
That's clearly Xiao Jinhan's voice!
But Yu Feng and Yu Yu said a couple of days ago that Xiao Jinhan went to the Southern Frontier to pick up people and would not be back for at least three to five days. Now, it is only the afternoon of the third day, so how could he possibly appear in Fuhu Mountain?
However, perhaps because she hadn't had enough jade, this space was unreliable from time to time. After that voice, she couldn't hear any sound from outside while sitting in the space.
She originally intended to store the Red Cloud Flower in her spatial dimension and then bring the giant snake in as well. She couldn't defeat the giant snake, but she could control it to smash it down from above the spatial dimension five or six times until it was completely destroyed.
But if Xiao Jinhan were really outside and he saw the giant snake disappear into thin air, wouldn't he think she was a monster?
Su Hua shook her head, her almond-shaped eyes darting around before her gaze fell on the oil paper beside her. The bottom of the pastry boxes that Qin Yucheng had given her were all lined with oil paper, and she still had several large pieces of oil paper left after eating some apricot blossom pastries the other day.
Although this oiled paper doesn't have any anti-corrosion properties, it can still be used to some extent. After all, snake stomach acid is not water, and she was afraid of being disfigured if she got too much on it.
She quickly put the oil paper over her head, then quietly peeked out from the space.
