The people who were surrounded by the snakes perked up immediately. Their eyes were filled with hope as they looked towards the direction where the melodious sound of the flute was coming from.
Had a savior arrived?
Had a reclusive expert come to save us?
This was probably the only thing that could save them at the moment!
"Save us!" Young Master Lan screamed, tears streaming down his face. He no longer had the demeanor of a young master from an aristocratic family.
"Save us! Save us!" The others came to their senses as well and began to scream. The cries of the women were especially loud.
Demeanor at the juncture of life and death? Demeanor?
What was that?
The sound of the flute was melodious, but no one knew what song it was. In short, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the Serpent King seemed to be very anxious because of the melodious sound of the flute. Her body was coiled up, and her forked tongue was several feet long.
The little snakes also began to stir …
The sound of the flute was getting closer!
The crowd's eyes were filled with longing. They finally saw a silhouette in the distance, walking slowly from the grassland on the other side. A flute was placed between his lips as he ignored the venomous snakes that covered the entire mountain.
The sound of the flute continued, still melodious. However, the venomous snakes that covered the entire mountain began to retreat. The snakes at the outermost layer had already turned their bodies and swaggered away, as if a fatal threat was approaching. It was better to leave this place as soon as possible …
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
The crowd cried as they watched the venomous snakes retreat from the outermost layer. Then, the venomous snakes within also began to swim away …
Finally …
Only the snake king remained stubbornly in its original spot. It coiled its huge snake formation and began to fight against this strange expert.
The crowd heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the current situation, there seemed to be hope?!
Although this expert's clothes looked a little tattered, they looked clean. As for the expert's age, they could not tell how old he was, but he was definitely not young. For an expert to be able to fight against the snake king, he must have cultivated for a considerable amount of time …
How could one tell the age of such an unparalleled expert just by looking at his face?
As the saying goes, one small clue can reveal the general trend. Looking at that expert's appearance, it was likely that he had lived in this forest for many years!
Everyone was thinking about how to ask for help so that the super giant serpent king could leave with them. Unexpectedly, they saw a scene that made them even more dumbfounded and incredulous.
That unworldly expert walked to the front of the incomparably huge Serpent King, kicked it without any hesitation, and scolded, "Evil creature! You dare to bully the weak, eat people, and kill people. Do you not learn from your mistakes? "
Everyone's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets!
The Snake King's coiled snake formation collapsed in an instant. Its entire body lay on the ground and sneakily walked back. It was obvious that it wanted to retreat.
"Get lost!" Yun Yang, the otherworldly expert, hollered domineeringly, "If I see you eating humans again, I'll break your bones!"
The Snake King felt as if he had been pardoned by the emperor when he heard the order to retreat. So, he disappeared with a whooshing sound.
At this point, the shadow of death finally dispersed.
Young Master Lan and the rest of the seventeen survivors saw that the shadow of death had disappeared and life had returned. Relieved, they collapsed to the ground, trembling all over. For a moment, they could not even speak.
The otherworldly expert looked at the piles of bones and was silent for a moment before he murmured, "Life and death are fleeting. I've come too late after all …"
As a descendant of an aristocratic family, Young Master Lan instantly regained his proper demeanor as soon as he regained his vitality. He stood up at once and, in a display of etiquette, quickly took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the ground. "Thank you, senior, for saving my life! This junior is grateful. I only regret that I can't repay you, that I can't repay even a fraction of senior's kindness. "
The rest of the survivors seemed to be enlightened as well, standing up persistently and kneeling on the ground to pay their respects.
Yun Yang said faintly, "There's no need for that. It's only a matter of convenience to me. Go back to where you came from. It's not safe to stay here, leave quickly. "
Young Master Lan looked troubled as he pleaded, "Please be merciful, senior. I have a few companions here who have been bitten by venomous snakes. Their basic Qi is depleted and they can't save themselves. Please, senior … this …"
A total of nine of the seventeen survivors had been bitten by venomous snakes. Although they had consumed medicine, the effect was obviously not that effective. Although the venom of the venomous snakes could not do anything to ace cultivators, it depended on the condition of the ace cultivator when he was poisoned. If he had suppressed the poison with his cultivation base at once or even eliminated it, he would have been fine. However, the battle just now had been perilous. Those who had been poisoned had exhausted their mystical Qi but were still unable to deal with the snakes. How could they have the time to calm down and remove the venom? Afterward, their mystical Qi had been depleted, causing the venom to spread throughout their bodies. Even their faces were covered in black gas. In such a situation, it would be difficult for the poisoned to save themselves even if they were healthy.
To those who had been poisoned, they had just escaped death and now they were in danger of being poisoned. Today was truly the worst day of their lives.
Yun Yang checked and said with a frown, "It's a little difficult indeed … Carry them and follow me."
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
Young Master Lan and the rest carried the people on their backs respectfully and followed behind him. All of them had a strong feeling – we've met a real expert today! A real expert of unparalleled power! This crisis might just be a test before a great fortuitous opportunity!
We're actually blessed by the heavens!
The snake and bear, who were watching from afar, could vaguely guess what the survivors were thinking when they saw the genuine joy on their faces. They snorted in disdain, "Why do you think so? Why don't you go to heaven if your imagination is so wild?"
When they saw the huge cave where this otherworldly expert lived, as well as the scenery outside the cave, especially the unusually strong smell of wine, they already had a pretty good guess in their hearts.
"The injured person only has the venom of the snakes that has gone berserk and spread throughout his body. It's fine. He'll be fine as long as he takes this medicine. " Yun Yang fished out a piece of black medicine from somewhere on the wall of the cave and passed it over. "Take half of it orally and apply the other half externally. Dispel the poison and heal the wound."
The black medicine looked inconspicuous but its effect was remarkable. Just as the medicine was applied, the poisonous air on the victim's face faded quickly and the wounds began to bleed poisoned blood. Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the blood had already turned crimson red. This meant that at least ninety percent of the poison in the victim's body had been dispelled.
The group also realized that the black medicine was not only effective against poison, it was also shockingly effective in replenishing mystical Qi. The poisoned victim's internal energy was severely damaged and his cultivation base would drop by at least a level even if he was lucky enough to survive. Unexpectedly, after consuming the black medicine, not only was the poison instantly dispelled, his basic Qi had also recovered by forty to fifty percent. Furthermore, the basic Qi in his dantian continued to grow and nourish his meridians. All of these proved that the poisoned victim's cultivation base would not regress because of this poisoning!
This was a miraculous medicine that could dispel poison, heal and restore one's vitality!
This was a fortuitous encounter, a heaven-sent opportunity!
"Rest here for a day. Do not act rashly." Yun Yang said coldly, "You must leave tomorrow!"
The group had just calmed down from the shock, so naturally, they all agreed respectfully. It was said that most of these otherworldly experts had strange tempers and were cautious; there was nothing wrong with that.
Although it was difficult to find a comfortable bed to rest in the cave, the group felt an unprecedented sense of security, stability and peace of mind!
Compared to this moment, they could not help recalling the bloody scene earlier. It was like a nightmare that they could not bear to recall. A few of the girls could not help but start sobbing, tears streaming down their cheeks.
The young masters lowered their heads in dejection as well.
So many lives had been lost because of a single hunt.
Young Master Lan sighed and said, "When we go back, let's go back the way we came. We must collect their corpses … sigh."
Although it was sorrowful, the joy and joy of surviving a calamity still took up a large part of it, especially when they had met such an otherworldly expert. The boys and girls laid down without a care for their image, breathing in the human air that they thought they would never be able to breathe again. Gradually, their emotions calmed down.
Then, the girls began to tidy up their appearances. What followed was naturally the sound of chattering.
"Who do you think that person is?"
"I don't know, but from the looks of it, he's been living here …" Another girl looked at the surroundings. "It must have been a few decades."
"A few decades? Not only that, I think he's been here for at least a hundred years … "
"Yes, look at these marks … Here, and here, especially this stone stool, it's slippery from sitting on it …"
"But, what kind of person could stay in such a place for so long?"
"It must be an unparalleled genius. Just look at what he did to the giant snake. If he didn't have an astounding cultivation base, how could he do that?"
Listening to the whispers, Yun Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
