Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Scared Stiff

And the snake had already soared towards her! Bringing with it the stench of rot, its speed made Chiang Xiao’s heart race with fear.

Seeing that the three men had already tumbled down the slope, screaming incessantly, utterly unable to look her way, Chiang Xiao, in the instant the snake coiled around, immediately willed it into the Space.

Her mind simultaneously probed into the Space.

She saw that as soon as the snake entered the Space, it was promptly transported to the edge of the Black Land. Suddenly, a bamboo cage appeared out of thin air. The intricately woven, soft bamboo cage confined the snake within, leaving it coiled up, unable to move despite still flicking its tongue.

Chiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It was precisely because she had discovered this powerful function of the Space that she dared to use such a method against Wan Niu and his group.

She hadn’t known what animal might be attracted, but she was aware that as long as the Space could be used in this way, she would be safe, and it would be enough to scare those men half to death.

At the same time, Chiang Songhai and the others heard the dreadful screams of Wan Niu’s trio. They were all shocked, fearing for Chiang Xiao’s safety and hurriedly ran back, only to see the three who had rolled down the slope getting up—Old Li’s forehead smeared with blood, his face as white as a ghost. Sun Laoliu’s elbow seemed to be injured during the roll down, twisted at an odd angle, and Wan Niu appeared to have sprained his foot. Yet, despite their pain, they madly scrambled to their feet and continued fleeing down the mountain.

"Old Li!" Chiang Songhai also didn’t expect Old Li to be mingling with Wan Niu and Sun Laoliu, two notorious slackers and gamblers from the village. He called out.

But Old Li had a vacant look in his eyes and continued to flee in panic, as if he hadn’t heard anything.

"What are they doing?" Xu Linjiang turned back and saw Chiang Xiao on the hillside waving at them. Seeing that she seemed unharmed, they all exhaled in relief.

However, the reaction of Old Li and the others was truly bizarre.

"No idea..." Ge Dejun had not finished speaking when Wan Niu fell heavily to the ground with a thud before climbing and rolling away in continued flight.

Watching that fall, Ge Dejun felt the pain himself.

"Let’s check on Little Little and see if she’s okay," Chiang Songhai was still somewhat worried about Chiang Xiao.

The three hurriedly made their way towards her.

Chiang Xiao was actually enjoying herself, liking the Magic Pen Space more and more. It was so handy! Discovering its different uses bit by bit felt almost like treasure hunting to her.

"Little Little, what happened to Old Li and the others?"

Chiang Songhai looked her over, finding her truly unharmed, and finally let out a real sigh of relief.

Chiang Xiao spread her hands and blinked, "Grandpa, I’ve got no idea. I saw them sneakily hiding in that thicket over there, and before I could call for you, they ran off like they saw a ghost, screaming about a snake!"

Ah? Were they terrified by a snake?

Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang instinctively believed Chiang Xiao’s words.

The thought of the three men terrified by a snake made them burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"With such faint hearts, they dare to venture into Bai Gu Mountain?"

"Really, they’re not as brave as our Little Little! Shameful enough to speak of."

During their many ascents, they had encountered quite a few snakes, occasionally getting a small scare, but never such an exaggerated reaction.

Only, they didn’t know just how big the snake a moment ago had been.
