"Be careful!!"
Shao Xuan hurriedly shouted.
The giant snake's body shot forward like a spring. The friction between its body and the air was like a strong wind, not giving Chacha enough time to react!
The distance of ten meters was covered in the blink of an eye!
Shao Xuan wanted to help, but they were in the air and his mobility was limited. He could only warn Chacha. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Chacha heard Shao Xuan's words and wanted to fly higher, but something unexpected happened. He wanted to avoid it, but he was too late.
The giant snake that shot forward bit Chacha's wing.
It was fine to fly with Shao Xuan in the air, but with the addition of the giant snake, Chacha could only be dragged down.
Screech-
Chacha let out a long hiss unwillingly, and his body fell rapidly with the force.
The giant snake carried Chacha and landed on a tree, then fell down from the tree. Through layers of branches, they slowed down, and finally landed on the ground covered in thick grass.
It seemed that the giant snake was already familiar with this, as it did not worry about the danger of falling to its death. The branches that blocked its fall only slowed it down, but did not hurt it at all. Its skin would give it enough protection.
The giant snake bit Chacha's wing, and its body quickly wrapped around Chacha. Prey must be strangled to death before eating.
Screech-
Chacha wanted to break free, but found that he could not loosen the snake's grip. Every time he struggled, the snake's body would tighten. This made Chacha even more uncomfortable, and he could not even make a sound. After a while, he would not even be able to breathe.
Shao Xuan, who was being held by Chacha, let go of Chacha's claws when the giant snake coiled around him. Without thinking, he took out his teeth knife and slashed down with all his might. With a bang, the knife landed heavily on the giant snake's body.
Crack crack!
The sound of a tree branch being chopped and broken reverberated through the forest.
Some of the fragments on the snake's tough and thick skin were sent flying by the slash.
This was the knife Shao Xuan usually used when he hunted ferocious beasts in the hunting area. If the prey's skin was tough, he would quickly follow up with another knife.
Using his full strength, he slashed continuously in one breath. Moreover, every slash was aimed at the same spot at the same time. Even if the beast's skin was tough, as long as the saber was still there, and the saber was still hard, he could break open a hole in this tough defense!
The tree-like camouflage was the snake's specialised scales. Compared to ordinary branches, the snake's specialised scales were harder. Even Shao Xuan's Teeth Blade could only leave a mark on the scales. It was difficult to cut a wound in one go.
Indeed, Shao Xuan had been injured before, so the strength of his slashes was weakened. He could not injure the snake with one strike. However, the snake's skin was harder to deal with than the Thorn Black Wind's hard thorns. It was also a huge problem for Shao Xuan.
However, if one strike was not enough, he would try again. If two strikes were not enough, he would try again.
The teeth knife kept slashing, and the hard fragments of the snake's skin were sent flying. It was very painful! Like the fragments of an explosion, they scattered in all directions.
He could not stop. He could not give the beast enough time to react! What's more, Chacha was still caught by the snake. Shao Xuan needed to solve this problem as soon as possible. The longer he delayed, the closer Chacha would be to death.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
There were three crisp slashes in a row, and the fragments of the snake's hard skin splashed. Along with the slashes, the weird snake's unique roar was heard. It was like the shrill sound of a storm blowing through a narrow gap.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Shao Xuan had no time to care about the discomfort in his eardrum. He only focused on cutting the wound on the snake's body with his teeth knife. Every time he cut, the snake's thick and solid leather armor would crack deeper.
The snake sensed Shao Xuan's intention and became angry.
The specialised scales, which had shrunk, grew like leaves in spring. Except for the part where Chacha was curled, the specialised scales on the other parts of the snake were erected and the "leaves" were completely unfolded. The whole snake was like a blooming flower on a stick. Its body, which was not small in the first place, suddenly expanded to twice its original size!
On the strange snake face Shao Xuan had never seen before, a pair of cold eyes stared at Shao Xuan. Its brown forked tongue, which was like a tree branch, came out of its mouth. It twisted its thick body and swung its tail at Shao Xuan mercilessly.
Shao Xuan had to temporarily stop slashing. He bent his knees and his body swayed slightly. His feet stomped heavily on the ground, and the plants under his feet instantly turned into a puddle of green mud.
His figure bounced back to avoid the snake's powerful tail. After landing on the ground, he quickly jumped up and down a few times. Every time he touched the ground, his feet stomped hard, leaving deep marks on the ground. His figure was like the wind, quickly changing his position to avoid being caught by the snake. Then, without taking a breath, he swung his teeth knife and slashed at the same spot where he had slashed several times just now!
Don't think that I can't see the scars on your branches just because you've bloomed!
Slash!
The "branches and leaves" that had exploded to block the opening were cut off by this slash. The blade did not stop and accurately chopped at the opening left by the previous slashes. It was another round of continuous slashes, not giving the snake any time to breathe.
Even if the teeth knife was not sharp enough, it still posed a great threat to the snake this time.
Puchi!
Strange brownish-green blood spurted out from the wound.
Even if it had a tough outer armor, the pain of flesh wounds and bleeding could not be avoided, even for a ferocious beast.
After all, it was not a body of steel. The thick, tough leather armor had already been damaged, and the wound was still deepening. If the snake did not stop it, it would be directly cut in half.
Feeling the pain on its body, the snake was angry and screamed again and again. Its original target was the eagle that flew past. It liked to eat this kind of small eagle the most. As for the creature caught by the eagle, it thought that it was prey caught by the eagle and did not take it seriously at all. It could not understand why this seemingly weak creature in front of it could pose such a threat to it!
Its skin was broken, and blood was flowing out. This was something that it had never expected. If it could, it would have thrown this seemingly weak creature far away when it caught the eagle!
Unfortunately, regret was useless.
The serpent twisted its body. It was dodging to avoid being attacked again in its wounds.
However, Shao Xuan's figure was agile. Not only did he avoid its attack, but he also pressed on.
Slash again! Again!
The blade flashed continuously.
The wound on the snake's body became bigger and bigger, and more brownish-green blood flowed out.
In the end, the snake chose to give up on the prey in its hands. It retracted its "branches and leaves", threw the eagle down, and dragged its injured body away quickly.
From the moment the snake dragged Chacha to the moment it was forced back by Shao Xuan, it had only been a minute. Shao Xuan was anxious about Chacha's injury and did not give the snake any time to breathe. This was why he was able to finish it in such a short time. On the other hand, Shao Xuan exploded with more power than usual in a short time.
Looking at the snake's escaping figure, Shao Xuan panted and did not chase after it. After the snake threw Chacha down, he quickly ran over to check on Chacha's injuries.
Chacha's wings were injured, and there were some fractures. It could only flap weakly a few times and would not be able to fly for a while.
Looking at the places where Chacha had been bitten by the snake, there were no traces of venomous fangs, and the wounds did not seem to be highly toxic.
Shao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no poison.
After solving the problem just now, Shao Xuan thought to find a safe place to hide with Chacha to recuperate. When the man and eagle recovered, they would fly over in the air. This place was probably much safer in the air.
Of course, they had to fly high. They could not give these strange snakes a chance. The snake just now was not the one Shao Xuan encountered that night. Therefore, there were many snakes like this in this forest.
No wonder they did not see any other birds in the sky when they flew over. They probably all entered the stomach of these strange snakes.
As he was thinking, Shao Xuan's movements became sluggish.
Even Chacha, who was flapping its wings in frustration, stopped.
Hiss — —
Hiss, hiss, hiss — —
Above his head, that familiar sound was heard again.
Cold sweat dripped from Shao Xuan's forehead. All the muscles in his body were tense. In that short minute just now, Shao Xuan had almost exhausted all his strength. He was still in a state of exhaustion. Before coming over, he had already gone through a battle and injured his arm. Just now, he had gone through another battle. He thought that he would have a buffer, but he did not expect that this forest would not give him enough time to catch his breath.
Shao Xuan turned around, his back facing Chacha. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the forest of giant trees, looking up from the ground, the lush branches and leaves were all that could be seen, covering the sky and the sun. It was as if the little bits of sunlight that seeped through were charity.
As for the place where the giant snake had dragged Chacha down, because of the broken branches along the way, more Yang Guang leaked down. Combined with the surrounding environment, it was like an abrupt light pillar, extremely eye-catching.
At this moment, Shao Xuan and Chacha were standing in this light pillar.
The Yang Guang illuminated this place, making it much warmer than other places in the forest. If it was in the tribe, being exposed to this kind of Yang Guang would not be enjoyable. When it was peaceful and warm, it would almost make people close their eyes in comfort.
However, at this moment, whether it was Shao Xuan or Chacha, they could not feel this kind of warmth. On the contrary, they only felt that they were in the coldest winter snow.
In the distance, in the dark forest, there were no other living creatures, not even flying insects.
Above them, two thick 'branches' became bent and then slid down along the trunk.
Bang!
A slight and short muffled sound, the same as the one Shao Xuan heard in the air. The two giant snakes had already put away the specialised scales that were used as camouflage. They slowly moved towards Shao Xuan, as if they were not worried that their prey would escape.
With one in front and one behind, Shao Xuan and Chacha were sandwiched in the middle.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Shao Xuan listened to his thundering heartbeat, his palms sweating.
His grip on the stone knife did not tremble. Shao Xuan's mind raced as he tried to think of a solution. He knew that he did not have much strength left. If he had to fight one more time, he would not have much chance of winning. Even if he risked his life to fight one more time, there would still be some hope. However, there were now two of them, and these two were not smaller than the one he had just cut off.
