Chapter 821: Barely Escaped
“Hubby, these snakes appear to be provoked by something. They’re about to attack us.” Fang Xinxin spoke nervously.
Bai Qinghao held the hatchet in his hand. “The substance on the hatchet we picked up earlier seems to be attracting these snakes.”
Thankfully, he had been on his guard earlier and had wrapped the hatchet with leaves before picking it up.
“Should we toss it away, then?” She suggested.
“We can try doing that.” He watched as the snakes pressed closer and tossed the hatchet far away.
As expected, a portion of the snakes immediately moved in the direction of the hatchet.
However, a portion of the snakes appeared more interested in living prey and continued pressing close.
There weren’t as many bushes around them. Very quickly, the snakes began to slither out of the bushes and towards them.
“There are too many snakes on the bushes and on the ground. Although there are also some on the trees, we should be able to deal with them. I think it’s better to climb the trees.” Fang Xinxin analyzed.
Bai Qinghao nodded slightly.
Fang Xinxin noticed that there were only two snakes on the large tree ahead. She activated her powers and sent the surgical knife flying forward. It sliced the head of one of the snakes immediately.
She activated her powers once more and incapacitated the other snake in an instant. The snake’s corpse fell onto the ground.
At the same time, the snake that was above their head fell towards them.
Fang Xinxin could not respond fast enough. Just as the snake was about to touch her, Bai Qinghao waved the thick branch in his hand and delivered a harsh blow to the snake, sending it flying several meters away from them.
The imminent danger above their heads was resolved for now.
“Hubby, I can use my power to levitate you for a while, but I can’t do it to myself.” She glanced at the brown branches above them. It was around three meters away. “I’ll step on your shoulders and grab onto that branch to swing onto that tree. I’ll levitate you to me after.”
The snakes were pressing closer and closer. There were also snakes on the neighboring trees.
The only tree they could escape to was the one she had dealt with earlier. They had no other options.
Bai Qinghao immediately knelt down. Fang Xinxin gently held onto his head and stepped on his shoulder.
After he stood up, she tried her best to maintain her balance, straightening up on his shoulders.
Just as she was about to stumble, Bai Qinghao quickly dropped the tree branch in his hand and held onto her legs firmly. She stabilized herself and reached upwards to hold onto the tree branch.
She swung herself back and forth several times before releasing her grip and landing on the tree ahead.
She nearly missed the landing. Thankfully, she wrapped her limbs around a tree branch tightly and barely managed to hold on.
Bai Qinghao remained where he was. The snakes were closing on him slowly.
Fang Xinxin breathed in sharply. No matter how strong her abilities were, she could not deal with these many snakes.
Several snakes were already beginning to attack. Thankfully, he had picked up the stick and was beating them away.
They appeared enraged at the sight of their fellow snakes being killed. All the snakes immediately got ready to attack.
He was on the verge of being bitten.
Fang Xinxin’s gaze turned cold as she activated her powers. Bai Qinghao immediately began to levitate in the air.
The snakes did not give up. They stretched upwards in an attempt to bite him..
