Chapter 13: The Snakes’ Pursuit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In that moment, Yan Jiao was rejoicing. The person from her wet dreams actually had some human qualities!

However, this Naga was now in the form of a sculpture in front of her. Yan Jiao could not help but reach out to touch the sculpture. Yet, she retracted her hand mid-air.

All of this was too strange.

She had never been to this place before, so how could she dream of this place, and all of the details here matched her dreams?

She even made love with the person who looked like the Naga statue and spent the whole night in a drunken fit of lust.

Yan Jiao was so frightened that she subconsciously stepped back. She realized that everyone else was also staying far away from the statue.

“Let’s call it a day. It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the camp and get some rest. We’ll come back tomorrow.” Luo Jie suggested.

Hearing Luo Jie’s words, everyone packed up their tools in a hurry, planning to leave together.

However, the moment they turned around and left, the black snake that was coiled on the pillar made of ivory suddenly shook its head and flicked its scarlet tongue.

The python’s huge body wriggled on the pillar, as if it was tired and could not maintain its posture anymore. It slowly slithered on the pillar, its beautiful, red eyes staring at Yan Jiao’s back, a trace of anticipation and puzzlement flashing in them.

“Yan Zhi, I have finally found you again…”

A bitter sigh sounded in the empty hall.

However, in this hall that was made entirely of gold, there was nothing else that could make such a sound except for the big snake that was like a living creature.

After a while, the snake returned to its original posture, and its shining agate eyes gradually lost their light.

Silence filled the hall.

After successfully leaving the ruins, the group breathed in the fresh air outside and felt a little more relaxed.

Everyone turned back to look at the pitch-black doorway and quickly returned to the camp to rest.

It was one or two in the afternoon, when the sun was at its peak. Everyone felt alive when the warm sunlight shone on them. They could feel their stomachs growling.

The group took out the food they had prepared and filled their stomachs. They then began to discuss the situation in the remains. Even the professor excitedly asked his assistant to send what they had just seen and heard to another assistant in the research institute.

The sky was getting dark, so Luo Jie divided everyone into two groups. One group was responsible for cooking, starting a fire, and guarding the camp. The other group was going to the river a little further away to draw water, pick up firewood, and see if they could catch fish or dig up some wild vegetables.

After a while, everyone split up.

At this moment, the forest was unusually quiet. There were no birds chirping or insects chirping. The sun was also slowly setting.

Then, the group of people who stayed in the camp suddenly heard a scream from not far away. Everyone stood up in unison and looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw a group of people running madly in the direction of the camp, as if there were wild beasts chasing them. Their faces were full of fear.

Yan Jiao picked up the telescope beside her and looked past them. Her expression changed when she saw what was behind them. “Su Qing, quickly take out the antivenom.”

Before Su Qing could react to what had happened, the group of people appeared in her line of sight. At the same time, she also saw what was chasing after them.

There were tens of thousands of snakes, densely packed behind them, crawling towards them. The scene was terrifying, and no one could deny that it was extraordinary.

Colorful snakes were following Luo Jie and the others in groups, as if they were organized and disciplined.

Su Qing, Yu Yan, and Xue Dong immediately reacted and turned to get the antivenom, but they were a little uncertain. With these many snakes, would the antivenom still be useful?

Yan Jiao knew very well that the antivenom would no longer be effective at this point. She turned to the three people behind her and shouted, “Stop rummaging for the antivenom. If you want to live, run!”

After that, Yan Jiao dashed in the opposite direction like an arrow shot from a bow.

Su Qing and the other two looked at the antivenom in their hands. Without thinking, they dropped the medicine and ran after Yan Jiao.

However, they did not run for long before they saw Yan Jiao stopping not far away from them. She kept retreating.

“Yan Jiao, what the hell are you doing? Why aren’t you running? Are you waiting for death? If you don’t want to live, then get out of my way.”
