Chapter 31: Snake Controlling Technique
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Zebei might know how to control snakes, but he still held an abnormal dislike for these soft creatures.
This was why he had not come to this place since he had heard the snakes.
If Chen Mengtian had not insisted on coming here, he would have never stepped foot in this place.
Jiang Zebei was still blowing into the leaf in his hand, while the brood of vipers around him slithered on the grass-covered ground.
Suddenly, they turned around and slithered back from where they came. They retreated.
However, an accident happened the next instant.
The leaf Jiang Zebei was blowing into snapped. After all, the leaves in this season were not sturdy and flexible.
Besides, he did not have a flute, so he could not produce any sound to control the snakes.
When the sounds stopped, the brood of vipers became restless again.
However, Jiang Zebei had thought about this possibility happening, so he plucked a lot of leaves from the tree.
He immediately switched to another leaf.
But when he placed the leaf by his mouth and the sounds rose, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
While Jiang Zebei blew into the leaf to control the snakes, he looked down.
He saw a green viper by his leg. It was currently twisting and turning with its soft body due to the sounds Jiang Zebei made, which made it look harmless.
But it was a fact that it had bit Jiang Zebei.
When he sensed the pain coming from his ankle, Jiang Zebei’s expression became really dark.
In the end, he was still attacked.
Since that was the case, he could no longer delay.
The sounds he made suddenly rose by a few tones, and the brood of vipers around him started twisting and turning madly.
As if they had gone mad, they headed to the pit.
The green viper by Jiang Zebei’s feet wanted to slither away as well, but killing intent rose in the boy’s eyes.
He was not a kind person. All his kindness was for his family.
He always acted swiftly. His parents taught him from a young age that he was supposed to take care of himself, because the world was going to destroy him if he did not.
Besides, the animal beside his feet had to die now that it injured him.
Jiang Zebei brought up his uninjured leg and stomped on the green viper.
He crushed it right away, and the smell of blood spread in the air.
The brood of vipers smelled their kin’s blood once more, but this time, they only cared about slithering into the pit. They retreated hastily.
They acted as if their mortal enemy was chasing after them.
Jiang Zebei’s wound no longer hurt, but he knew that this was not a good sign.
He immediately stopped blowing into the leaf, and the sounds stopped.
He carried the bow, arrows, and hunting tools as he headed down the mountain.
Hopefully, he could last until he reached his house.
If he did not take any antidote after he was bitten by a viper, there was a high chance that he would die.
Jiang Zebei’s head was a little dizzy, and his thoughts were a mess.
He remembered his gentle mother and his stern but loving father.
His father had never had a good body, but he was skilled in martial arts.
His mother loved his father a lot. This was something he knew. Otherwise, she would not have left with him so soon after his father died.
There was something about them that made them unable to fit in with the rest of the villagers in Chen Village.
His mother had a strange skill to control snakes. She was boisterous, but there was something noble about her as well.
His father was skilled in military tactics. Whenever Jiang Zebei returned from school, his father would personally teach him the art of war.
This was not something normal villagers did.
It was not as if he had never asked before, but whenever he did, his parents would fall silent.
Then, they passed away and left him alone. Thus, they became unanswered mysteries.
When Jiang Zebei remembered the past, he shuffled his way down the mountain a little faster.
