“Hiss!” Before Yao Beibei could move to the fire, a cold voice came out of the darkness. Her scalp tingled and her stood on her head. A big bloody mouth, a pungent stench at a distance, two long fangs shining white light, a red, two-pronged tongue wiggling -it was a snake, a big snake!

At this moment, Bai Ziming jumped up, the sword in his hand instantly unsheathed, cold and threatening as ice, flew towards the huge mouth that was about to strike. Like a reflex, Yao Beibei threw stones and a burning branches at the snake.

“Clank-” a sharp sound of metallic collision, Bai Ziming’s sword stopped the giant snake, but did not cause any harm to it. Yao Beibei’s stone and fire branch attack wasn’t effective at all. What a terrible snake!

Blocked, the snake got angry. It spat out a stream of red liquid as thick as a bucket towards Bai Ziming. The liquid reflected red blood light, and the smell of the air made her want to vomit.

Bai Ziming’s body floated in front of the snake, as if the snake could crush him with a little force. Yao Beibei was very worried about him. Terribly anxious.

Bai Ziming was engulfed by a white light, which seems to be forming a wall in front of him. The wall flooded with crystal light, and Yao Beibei felt cold. It was actually an ice wall!

Hiss, hiss, hiss… The scarlet liquid was stopped by the ice wall, but the ice wall also unceasingly emitted a corroding sound. This scarlet liquid was highly toxic!

Many ice arrows appeared in front of Bai Ziming and rained from the sky with piercing crystal light.

At last the serpent started to rampage, spewing red venom like a fountain. Red light oozed from its scales, revealing its huge body. Its eyes were like two red light bulbs, its body was as thick as a large water vat. Its tail was even redder, some dark red scales glowed faintly in the dark, and it swept away the ice arrows like a huge red drill.

Those unfortunate trees touched by the snake’s tail withered in an instant, their ashes blown away by the breeze. Yao Beibei gasped. The big red snake could have achieved a high level, and it should be called the giant red python!

Although Bai Ziming has not yet lost, the ice wall in front of him, which had been 30 centimeters thick, was now only five or six centimeters. His face looked heavy as he controlled several ice blades to hit the python’s qicun (believed to be a snake’s weakness where its heart rested) and stab its eyes.

She needed to help Bai Ziming in order to not become the Great Red Python’s dinner! Yao Beibei picked up stones on the ground, and throw the rocks at the Great Red Python. However,  the stones were turned into powder before they could reach the Great Red Python’s body!

Yao Beibei then seized two burning branches and threw them at the Great Red Python, who suddenly spat a mouthful of scarlet venom at the burning branches. The burning flames were extinguished in an instant, and the branches were reduced to ashes.

It seemed that fire was more useful than stone! Realizing that this was poison, Yao Beibei hastily took out her towel, wrapped it on her face, tied it to the back of her head, and made a simple mask to prevent poisoning.

Finally, the giant red python became more and more violent. Its body suddenly came down hard, swinging frantically. The scarlet venom in its mouth poured out like flood, and the smell was unbearable. The python lunged and bit the ice wall in front of Bai Ziming.

With just one bite, the ice wall suddenly shattered, and he could no longer float. He started to fall.

“Vile beast, stop right now!” Seeing the big red python was about to swallow Bai Ziming, Yao Beibei bellowed. Disregarding the burning flames, she grabbed all the branches in the fire, rushed towards the giant red python, and started frantically throwing burning branches into its mouth.

That moment, two young men in white clothes descended from the sky. After a flash of white light, a large white net formed in the air, and instantly captured the giant red python.

The python knew that it was in danger. It struggled fiercely, trying to get rid of the white net. Its mouth was wide open but it could no longer spray the red venom. The more it struggled, the more tighter the net, and finally it was bound and it could no longer move!

The young men chanted and the white net shrunk. It became the size of a hand and fell to the ground. The python has become a small red line in the white net. One of the young men picked it up.

When Yao Beibei ran over, Bai Ziming had fallen to the ground, his whole body wet, his eyes unfocused. He seemed to have passed out. His face turned black and blue. Cold sweat ran down his forehead. His body trembled violently. He looked very painful and it was heart wrenching.

“Bai Ziming, how are you?” Yao Beibei squatted down and looked anxiously at Bai Ziming. He held her hand so tightly she felt pain.

Bai Ziming’s mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he could not make any sound. His lips had also turned blue and black, as if he was poisoning. If she found the snake-bite, maybe she could suck out blood and clean the wound. However, she could not find any wound on the outside. What to do? What is there to do?

“Bai Ziming, you do not want to die, you do not want to die!” Yao Beibei was so perplexed that she began to tear apart Bai Ziming’s clothes to see if she could find the wound.

“Young lady, don’t worry. He has caught python poison. Give him this elixir and let him rest for a night. He will be fine tomorrow morning. This python demon’s poison is quite fierce, as long as you breathe will be poisoned, so you’re also poisoned. Take an elixir!” A warm voice came close. It was the young man who had just caught the python. He smiled at Yao Beibei. In his palm was two black, round medicine pills.

Just now, she was scared and could not think. After hearing the young man, Yao Beibei started to feel a little sick. She was indeed poisoned, just not badly.

Yao Beibei snatched the pills, and fed one to Bai Ziming, the other to herself. It was bitter, but not hard to swallow, and melted in her mouth, leaving a cool and clear feeling.

The medicine instantly relieved Bai Ziming. His trembling gradually stoped, but cold sweat continued. His face didn’t changed between white and red, but became a scarlet color and the color was gradually fading.

Seeing this change in Bai Ziming, Yao Beibei knew that the antidote given had worked, and when he thought that Bai Ziming and she had been saved, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“How is he?” The voice of young man was gentle, like warm wind that swept through the field. Listening to his voice was reassuring.

Then Yao Beibei remembered that she had not thanked him for the pills she had just taken, and said, “He is much better, thank you for your help! May I ask for your name, so one day we could repay your deeds!”

The young man was startled. Yao Beibei was startled too. Don’t ancient people talk like this to those who saved them?

“Seeing that you two are in danger, how can I, a cultivator, stand by and do nothing? What’s more, if you two had not gotten this python’s attention, my disciple brother and I would not have subdued it so easily. This python demon has been doing evil for a long time, and now it is subdued and will not be harmed anyone again. We are about to return to our master. There are many monster in this area, you must be more careful in the future!” The young man in white smiled, like winter sunshine.

Many monsters? Just when Yao Beibei thought they were safe. This must be a joke. One python demon almost killed Bai Ziming, now even a wild beast could absolutely help them die young!

Wait, what did he just say? Cultivators, that’s not the point. He said monsters? Ugh, monsters?! Help!

“Please, immortal mister help us! Since you come here to eliminate evil spirits, you must certainly care about life and the suffering of the sentient beings! My companion’s life is now on the verge, and I am also poisoned. If we meet any monster again, we certainly will die here! Please immortal mister, have mercy, and save us two!” Yao Beibei climbed toward the young man’s foot to ask for help. She could not explain anything that’s happening, but this lifesaving opportunity certainly could not be missed!

The young man in white was in a dilemma, hesitating. Yao Beibei did not let go of the pity in his eyes, and immediately began to cry: “Immortal mister, both of us are miserable orphans. We have been living together until we were caught by a trafficker, and it was not easy to escape. Then we almost died at the mouth of a giant python, and now my companion is hovering between life and death. To thinking that we have been miserable all our lives, just to be torn apart by beasts now…”

While crying, Yao Beibei peeked at the face of young man, and saw that he was really moved, with sympathy and sorrow on his face. Thinking that a little more proof should be able to convince him, she lifted her sleeve, deliberately revealing the welts on her arm, which were  made by the traffickers of the former owner this body. The wounds were healed, but the scars were really shocking!
