Biting off the final leaves from the bunch of herbs she held in her hand, she threw the stems away to the facet. Rigorously digging out the Tree Root Berry from the dust on the base of the tree, she was squatting on the bottom centered on the duty, and he or she failed to note {that a} black and white venomous snake was slithering by means of the grass in the direction of her.

Because the snake neared her, its lengthy physique pushed its head up and it spat out its forked tongue, hissing softly. At that second, the venomous snake struck, its jaw widened to chew onto Feng Jiu’s calf.

A sudden change came to visit Feng Jiu’s expression and an austere murderous chill pervaded her complete being, her eyes all of the sudden turned bitingly chilly. Her physique pivoted lightning fast as her hand grasped onto the snake’s head, the opposite hand clasped across the snake’s seven inch very important level. Her fingers tightened and with a snap, the fingers greedy the seven inch very important level have been pushed deep into the snake’s physique.

“HISS!” The snake let loose a loud hiss and its physique spasmed earlier than it fell limp.

“Oh? A Silver Ring snake?” The chillingly chilly aura from only a second prior to now felt prefer it had simply been a momentary hallucination. She had instantly reverted proper again to her look of languid laziness as she eyed the snake and laughed: “I haven’t seen any boars and never even a tiny rabbit. You’ll have to do in the interim once I roast you to fill my empty abdomen.” However, as she completed her assertion, the smile on her face froze.

She had simply found one large drawback….. No fireplace.

Beneath these damp and extremely humid bushes, beginning a hearth by means of friction wouldn’t be straightforward in any respect. She didn’t have matches along with her and never even a flintstone or stick of ember.She wouldn’t be capable to have roast snake afterall!

“Overlook it! Overlook it! Simply maintain out for a short time extra! I should at the least discover a dryer place earlier than I consider some method to begin a hearth.” She mumbled to herself in a low voice in remorse as she held the snake carcass in her hand pondering it could be such a waste to only throw the snake away.

She first lower the top off, then skinned it, earlier than eradicating the snake gall. She then hung the now unidentifiable piece of meat on a tree department and wiped her blood drenched hand on the grass.

So, on at the present time within the woods, a grimy little beggar wearing ragged garments could possibly be seen strolling alone inside this hazard crammed 9 Entrapment Woods, with a tree department over his shoulder, and a skinned snake dangling from it as he skipped alongside…..

All through your complete day, she traversed alone inside, trying to find herbs to dispel the poison from her physique. She had unknowingly walked from the outer edges of the woods to go deep into the interior reaches, and he or she was lastly capable of find all of the herbs she wanted earlier than nightfall.

Profiting from the remaining mild that allowed her to nonetheless see, she discovered a dry department and launched into essentially the most primitive manner of beginning a hearth. However because the setting was damp and moist, she spent virtually two hours tirelessly earlier than she succeeded in beginning the fireplace. Her arms had blistered badly from her efforts however when she sank her tooth into the roasted snake meat, every thing she did all of the sudden appeared all price it.

Having discovered all of the herbs she wanted for the antidote, and her abdomen crammed, she proceeded to mash up the herbs she discovered within the afternoon and utilized it on her physique. Then she extinguished the fireplace and climbed up a tall tree, to discover a snug spot for her to get a very good night time’s relaxation.

Being in a spot like this, and on their own, she couldn’t afford to maintain the fireplace burning. If not, when night time fell, she may simply grow to be the goal of untamed beasts, and he or she wasn’t precisely brimming with power at that second to take them on. So, even when the branches excessive up within the bushes have been chilly and he or she didn’t have the fireplace to heat her, she would select security over consolation and not using a thought.

As anticipated, because the darkness fell, the howling of wolves reached her ears ringing by means of the woods, reverberating chillingly within the darkness, that drove worry into the hearts of males.

As for Feng Jiu, her eyes have been closed as she had fallen right into a deep sleep, seemingly treating the lengthy ringing howls within the woods as her night time time lullaby.

Naturally, she would additionally not discover that top up upon a tree not too far-off, a darkish shadowy determine had noticed her each single motion on this very harmful woods…..
