Chapter 138
Chapter 138 – Land of the Serpents
Translated by Sunyancai
“Careful!”
Shao Xuan cried out loudly.
Just like a spring, the serpent ejected his body, which streaked through the air and generated a grating sound, like strong wind. Chacha couldn’t react in time.
Even if the distance was a dozen meters, the serpent arrived in the blink of an eye.
Shao Xuan wanted to help Chacha. But his ability was restricted in the air. The only thing he could do was just warn Chacha to watch out. However, it was still too late.
When Chacha heard Shao Xuan’s warning, he wanted to fly higher, so he did not notice the serpent’s movement. When he noticed that, he tried his best to avoid the serpent. However, he failed.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The serpent was twisting its body in order to prevent its wound from being attacked again.
However, Shao Xuan was very agile, he not only avoided the serpent’s attack, but also struck back repeatedly.
Another hack!
Again!
The tooth sword flashed repeatedly.
The wound on the big serpent was getting bigger and bigger, and the dark green blood was flowing out even more.
Eventually, the big serpent chose to abandon the prey, put away the “leaves” and threw away the coiled up eagle. Then, the serpent left quickly, dragging its injured body.
It had been only one minute from when the big serpent fell on the ground with Chacha, to the time that the serpent was defeated and ran away. The reason for the serpent being defeated in such a short time was that Shao Xuan was worried about Chacha’s condition, and didn’t give any time to the serpent to strike back. Relatively, Shao Xuan had unleashed much more strength than usual in such a short time.
Watching the serpent fleeing away, Shao Xuan breathed heavily and did not chase after it. After the serpent threw down Chacha, Shao Xuan quickly ran over to check his injury.
Chacha’s wings were injured and had a fracture. They could only move up and down powerlessly, he might not fly for a short period of time.
He examined Chacha’s parts which had been bit by the big serpent, and no bite marks by fangs were found. The wounds didn’t seem to have any toxins.
Shao Xuan relaxed, for Chacha was ok.
Having solved the trouble just now, Shao Xuan was considering finding a safe place to heal Chacha’s wounds. After both of them had recovered, they would fly high over the sky, which he thought may be much safer than otherwise.
Of course, they had to fly high and not give any chance to this kind of weird serpents. In this forest, there were many weird serpents that Shao Xuan had encountered several nights.
No wonder they had not seen any other birds in the sky, probably, the birds had been caught by these weird serpents.
While Shao Xuan was thinking, he suddenly stopped moving.
And Chacha, who was swerving up and down despondently, also stopped.
Sha sha——
Sha sha sha sha——
Above their head came the familiar sound once again.
Cold sweat dripped from Shao Xuan’s forehead, and his muscles tightened up. Shao Xuan had run out of almost all his power in that one minute, and now, he was still in a state of exhaustion. Before coming here, Shao Xuan had gone through a battle and had hurt his arms. He had thought that he would have time to recover, but he suffered another attack in this forest just now, which caused him to have no time to recover.
Shao Xuan turned around, with his back facing Chacha, and looked up to look in the direction that the sound came from.
Standing on the ground, Shao Xuan looked up in the large forest, he saw that the lush foliage was all over the sky. The little bit of sunshine through the leaves seemed like some kind of charity.
Because some branches had been broken off when the big serpent fell to the ground, dragging Chacha down with him, more sunshine could come down now. Combined with the surrounding environment, the sunshine was like a column of light which was incomparably eye-catching.
At this moment, Shao Xuan and Chacha were standing in the column of light.
The sunshine made this place much warmer than the rest of the forest. If they were in the tribe, basking in the sunshine might have been a very enjoyable thing. The comfortable sunshine and warmth almost made people close their eyes. [I’m getting sleepy here myself]
But at the moment, neither Shao Xuan nor Chacha were able to feel the warmth. On the contrary, they just felt like they were in the coldest winter snow.
Looking at the distance, they found there were no other creatures or flying insects in the forest.
Above, two sturdy “branches” bent and then slid down the trunk.
Bang!
The slight short thud was just like what Shao Xuan had heard in the air. The two big serpents had retracted the special scales which were used for camouflage. They moved towards Shao Xuan unhurriedly, and didn’t seem worried that the prey would run away.
One was in the front, and the other in the back. Shao Xuan and Chacha were cornered in the middle.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Shao Xuan heard his heart thumping, and feel his palms sweating.
The grasped tooth sword was not trembling, and Shao Xuan was thinking about the solution. He knew that his physical energy was going to be exhausted. Even if he continued fighting with the serpents again, there was not much chance of winning. Yes, if he risked his life in fighting, he might have a little hope to win. But now there were two serpents, and any one of them was not less than the one before.
