Su Jinyue squatted down and reached out to scoop up a pool of lake water. The water was clear and transparent, and icy cold. "Xiao Yao, do you think that thing is in the lake?"
"That's possible. I can only sense it's nearby, but I can't pinpoint its exact location."
Su Jinyue nodded slightly and focused her attention on the lake in front of her. She wanted to see what was beneath the lake.
The lake water gradually became transparent, and Su Jinyue found that as her gaze went deeper, she could not see a single fish in the lake.
Just as she was wondering, a huge black object appeared in her sight. What was this?
Su Jinyue carefully examined the dark mass. When she saw what it was, her heart began to beat violently. It was an anaconda, approximately five or six meters long. Anacondas are mostly found in South America. Their bodies were as thick as a grown man's torso. Once entangled by one, there was no chance of survival.
Zhan Yihan looked around cautiously. When he came here, he felt a cold and dangerous aura. He was thinking about whether to take Su Jinyue away, when he saw Su Jinyue reach out and hold his hand.
"Let's go! It's dangerous here." Su Jinyue was terrified as she pulled Zhan Yihan away. She really wanted to obtain the spiritual object, but only under safe conditions. If she lost her life, even if she obtained the object, it would be useless.
"Splash!" A sound of water breaking was heard, waves splashed in the lake, and a huge figure broke out of the water.
"Hiss!" The anaconda spit out its tongue, twisting its huge body, and quickly and fiercely attacked Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan's backs. Now that these two humans have entered its territory, there is no way they can escape.
"Jin Yue, go to the side." Zhan Yihan drew his dagger and turned to face the attacking anaconda. He had also encountered an anaconda last year during a military exercise in the Amazon rainforest. That anaconda was even longer than the one before him.
Zhan Yihan rushed towards the anaconda. When he was less than one meter away from the anaconda, he quickly dodged the anaconda's attack by turning sideways, and at the same time stabbed out with the dagger in his hand.
"Ao!" The anaconda let out an angry roar. One of its eyes was pierced by Zhan Yihan's dagger, and blood gushed out.
Zhan Yihan drew out the dagger without hesitation and stabbed it towards the anaconda's other eye.
The anaconda seemed to understand Zhan Yihan's thoughts and quickly tilted its head to the side, dodging Zhan Yihan's dagger. At the same time, it swung its huge tail towards Zhan Yihan. This abominable human, it must eat him.
Su Jinyue watched anxiously as Zhan Yihan battled the anaconda. She didn't dare speak, fearing it would affect him. She regretted coming here. She could die, but she couldn't harm Yihan. What should she do now? Was there any way she could help Yihan?
Seeing the shovel used to dig herbs in the backpack on the ground, Su Jinyue bent down and picked it up.
Zhan Yihan was unable to dodge and was hit by the anaconda's tail. He flew several meters away and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Yihan!" Su Jinyue's face changed drastically when she saw this, and she quickly ran forward. She no longer cared about anything else. She only had one thought in mind: not letting Yihan die.
The eye of the anaconda that was not stabbed was glowing with a sinister green light. It opened its mouth wide and spit out a long tongue, and its tail swept towards Zhan Yihan on the ground again.
Su Jinyue stepped forward quickly and threw the shovel in her hand towards the anaconda. She couldn't let Yihan die, absolutely not!
The anaconda roared angrily after being hit by the shovel, and then swept its tail towards Su Jinyue.
"Bang!" Su Jinyue was hit by the anaconda's tail and flew out like a kite with a broken string. She fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
"Jin Yue!" Zhan Yihan saw Su Jin Yue being knocked away by the anaconda, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He climbed up and attacked the anaconda. He wanted to kill it! He wanted to tear it into pieces!
Su Jinyue felt someone feeding her water. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw that the person in front of her was Zhan Yihan. She smiled weakly. It was great that he was still alive!
"Drink a little more." Zhan Yihan placed the water bottle to Su Jinyue's lips. When she was struck by the anaconda and passed out, he was truly terrified. It felt like a piece of his heart had been ripped out, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe. Fortunately, she was fine.
Su Jinyue obediently opened her mouth, took two sips from the kettle, and shook her head, "Did you kill it?" She was in pain all over her body, as if she was falling apart.
Zhan Yihan nodded, lowered his head, and kissed Su Jinyue's forehead lovingly. "You silly girl!" He had almost lost her just now, and it was then that he realized that his feelings for her were definitely not like those of a sister. It was a different kind of love, the kind a man feels for a woman. He wondered if she liked him too?
Su Jinyue blinked and looked at Zhan Yihan in surprise, "You kissed me?"
"I'll take responsibility." Zhan Yihan raised his lips slightly. He hadn't just kissed her, he'd even carried her on his back and held her hand. If she didn't marry him, who would she marry?
Su Jinyue reached out and touched Zhan Yihan's face, "Am I dreaming?" He had previously said that he treated her as a sister, but when he woke up, he kissed her and wanted to take responsibility.
"Silly girl!" Zhan Yihan caressed Su Jinyue's hair lovingly. She looked so cute like this! He really wanted to kiss her again. But he was afraid he would scare her.
"You're the fool!" Su Jinyue gave Zhan Yihan a coquettish look, her heart filled with sweetness. If this was a dream, she hoped not to wake up.
"How do you feel now?" Zhan Yihan asked. Although he had killed the anaconda, there was still danger here, especially after dark.
"Much better, how about you?" She looked at Zhan Yihan and found that his clothes were covered in blood. Her face suddenly changed and she said in a trembling voice, "I'll go help you pick some herbs, wait a moment." As she said that, she was about to get up.
Zhan Yihan held down Su Jinyue who was about to get up and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." He had some healing medicine distributed by the army on him. He had just taken one and fed one to her.
"But you lost a lot of blood." Su Jinyue looked at the blood on Zhan Yihan's clothes, tears streaming down her face. It was all because of her. If it weren't for her, how could he have been so badly injured and almost lost his life?
"Don't cry, I'm not hurting, I really am not hurting." Seeing Su Jinyue crying, Zhan Yihan was a little flustered. He had never coaxed a girl before and really didn't know how to do it.
"Let me see your wound." Su Jinyue reached out and pulled open Zhan Yihan's clothes, only to see a long scar on his chest. Her tears immediately flowed even more violently.
"I'm fine, don't cry, baby!" Zhan Yihan held Su Jinyue in his arms and gently wiped away her tears. Seeing her cry was more painful than his own injury.
