The next day.
Mo Yi sniffed, he smelled lavender and sandalwood, so he opened his eyes.
He saw a snow-white yet rosy cheek, the fragrance that filled his lungs came from the black, shiny long hair. Mo Yi slightly raised his head and met a pair of slightly brown pupils.
The first ray of morning light illuminated Mo Luo Xue's side face, the soft but not glaring light outlined every line on Mo Luo Xue's body, making it breathtakingly beautiful. Mo Yi thought for a moment that he had entered his blooming period, until he saw a snake about the thickness of his calf, spitting out a red tongue, in the girl's hand!
“Damn it,” Mo Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.
The next scene was a breathtakingly beautiful picture of a fairy slaying a snake. The colorful poisonous snake was tossed high in the air, the slender sword bloomed with lotus flowers, blood splattered on the ground, splashing like ink.
“Next time you sleep, be more careful,” Mo Luo Xue put away her sword and said calmly.
“…” Mo Yi touched his stomach. There was a distinct cold feeling there. It seemed like last night, when he slept, a poisonous snake had made his stomach its nest.
The poisonous snake was cut into countless pieces and fell to the ground. Blood flowed into the mud, dyeing the black mud reddish-brown. A faint smell of blood filled the air.
“Thank you, heroine,” Mo Yi broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and quickly searched his whole body.
After checking the last part, Mo Yi finally let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the poisonous snake hadn’t left any marks on him. Thank God, he was even more grateful that Mo Luo Xue had discovered the abnormality before he woke up and startled the snake.
Mo Luo Xue shook her wrist, shaking the blood on the sword onto the ground. She put away her slender sword and didn’t say another word.
“…” Mo Yi slowly walked to the poisonous snake's corpse. He picked up a twig and poked the snake’s body, which was still twitching due to muscle reflexes. It seemed like he was having fun.
“What are you doing?” Mo Luo Xue frowned.
Mo Yi said without looking up, “Checking the type of snake. Deduce how miserable I would have died if I had been bitten by it. And then use this to calculate how grateful I should be to you, to see if I should offer myself to you.”
Mo Luo Xue shook her head as if she was very troubled by her problem-solving elder brother. She turned around and prepared to pack up the tent and luggage.
“This seems to be a highly venomous Mandala Striped Snake. I remember seeing it in the family records,” Mo Yi’s voice floated to Mo Luo Xue’s ears.
Mo Luo Xue thought, if you were bitten by this poisonous snake, you would be able to directly see God. She didn’t pay attention to Mo Yi and started to pack her luggage.
“But this snake is only found in the cold south. And it’s very ferocious. Why didn’t it bite me while hiding in my clothes?” Mo Yi’s voice followed, Mo Luo Xue was about to ask him to be quiet, but she suddenly stopped.
Why would a Mandala Snake, only found in the cold south, appear in the hot tropical rainforest? And why did it hide instead of biting people as usual?
Mo Yi’s voice rang like an alarm bell in Mo Luo Xue’s mind… This snake was artificially bred and brought here! And the snake’s owner’s target was her! Mo Yi was just a bait.
“Swoosh swoosh— ” A sharp, piercing sound rang out in the air. Mo Luo Xue turned around without hesitation and drew her sword, dancing a dense shield in front of her.
A few crisp sounds of metal and stone hitting each other echoed, and the next moment, a few arrows, cut in half, were stuck in the soft soil.
“We’re under attack!” Mo Luo Xue’s beautiful eyes were filled with anger. They hadn’t provoked anyone, yet they were attacked first.
Seeing that the enemy was attacking Mo Luo Xue, Mo Yi immediately rolled on the ground. In less than a breath, sharp arrows were stuck in the place where he was standing.
The appearance of this poisonous snake was the biggest problem! Mo Yi had sprinkled strong realgar around him last night. Ordinary poisonous snakes would avoid it as much as possible, but this damn snake had actually crawled onto Mo Yi’s stomach!
After discovering the poisonous snake, Mo Yi instantly deduced the cause of the incident and what was about to happen. He also reminded Mo Luo Xue. He was smart enough, but his martial ability was close to zero. People like him are usually called wise men. Mo Yi looked forward to how terrifying he would be when he stepped onto the path of immortality and gained power.
But now, the top priority was to deal with the bastard in the dark. Anyone who dared to shoot him and his sister must die!
Mo Luo Xue took a step, her body flashed forward, her slender sword shone with a sharp light, and killing intent flickered in her pupils.
“Twelve o’clock, moving toward three o’clock!” Mo Yi shouted urgently.
Mo Yi suddenly remembered! His sister, Mo Luo Xue, was not some kind-hearted woman. In the Mo family, a qualified eldest daughter should be able to manage the household, cook, fight off a mistress, and kill a thug!
Mo Luo Xue perfectly embodied what it meant to be a qualified eldest daughter. She was sharp and brilliant!
“Jingle jangle— ” A pleasant, clear bell sound suddenly rang out! The sound didn't come from one place, but from all directions!
Mo Yi’s pupils contracted. The countless bell sounds were particularly jarring in his mind, like millions of death gods roaring and howling. He had miscalculated. There was not just one enemy… but an army!
Countless figures emerged from the darkness. They held swords and daggers, offering the ticket to death to the silhouette under the sunlight! This was an organized ambush with discipline!
These people were all blessed with the immortal fate. In this primeval forest, countless gifted individuals, who had been blessed by heaven and earth, were hiding. At this moment, they united and worked together to kill Mo Luo Xue and Mo Yi.
“Mo Luo Xue!” Mo Yi roared, “Run!”
Mo Luo Xue… You will die!
Mo Luo Xue looked up. Her pupils flashed with coldness, the dazzling sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on her sword. At this moment, she was possessed by a Valkyrie! As Mo Yi thought, she wasn’t some kind-hearted, well-bred lady. Her sword was forged by Mo Tian Jiao, a man with the same name as the “lion” that Mo Tian Jiao talked about.
Sharp and bloody.
Mo Luo Xue’s green sword trembled. A momentum that was no less powerful than that of the imposing killing intent erupted.
Kill! Even if there are millions of people, I will go forward!
