Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Today's journey was really tiring, with climbing mountains and running, Wu Xie had long since run out of energy. As soon as he finished his meal, he immediately lay down on his backpack and fell asleep, not caring whether the place was comfortable or not.

Zhang Qiling hugged Hua Yu and sat on the stool he took out from the space ring. The two of them and Xiaohua enjoyed the fresh ingredients in the ring with relish.

Hei Xia Zi was shameless and also followed Xiao Hua to have a meal.

At midnight, everything was quiet, and the moonlight was pouring down on the earth. Zhang Haifeng and Hei Xiazi stood up carefully, ready to wake up the people who were changing shifts. At this moment, their noses moved slightly, and they keenly detected a unique snake smell in the air. The smell became stronger and stronger, which made people alert.

On the other side, Zhang Qiling had already opened his eyes when the snake quietly crawled over. He quietly watched everything happening in front of him, his eyes as sharp as a torch, like a cheetah ready to attack at any time.

Hua Yu tightly protected Xiao Hua and kept her behind him; while Zhang Qiling guarded Hua Yu, forming a solid line of defense.

Ah Ning was also awakened by the sudden noise, with a flash of fear in her eyes. However, she did not make any sound, but just watched the situation around her nervously.

For a moment, the entire camp fell into a dead silence. Except for the faint crackling of the burning fire, no other sound could be heard. This silence was oppressive, as if a storm was about to come.

Pan Zi walked gently to Wu Xie's side, stretched out his hand and gently pushed him. Wu Xie was immersed in a sweet dream, and was a little unhappy after being disturbed, mumbling. But before he could finish complaining, Pan Zi quickly covered his mouth and nose to stop him from speaking.

Wu Xie subconsciously reached out to pull Pan Zi's hand away, but he was only halfway there when Pan Zi forcibly turned his head and made him look upward. In the light of the fire, a huge python was looming, hanging in the air like a ghost, emitting a chilling aura.

Wu Xie stared at the scene in disbelief. The python was so huge, its body coiled between the branches like a huge mountain. Its scales flashed with cold light, which made people feel terrified.

In the entire camp, except for Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu, there was no change, or they were not afraid of the attack of the giant python. Wu Xie, An Ning and Pan Zi were all scared and their faces turned pale.

Pan Zi tightly grasped Wu Xie's shoulders, trying to stay calm, but his hands were shaking slightly. He whispered to Wu Xie, "Don't move..."

Wu Xie nodded with difficulty, his heartbeat quickened and his breathing became rapid. He tried to suppress his fear and tried not to make any sound.

The giant python coiled on the branch, staring intently at the eyes of the people below. Its gaze was cold and sharp, as if it could penetrate a person's soul. Wu Xie felt a chill rising from his spine, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Just when Wu Xie realized that the giant python in front of them had the intention to leave, the sound of branches entangled came from the branches behind him. Pan Zi looked back and saw a tree python that was slightly smaller than the giant python in front of them slowly emerging from the branches behind Wu Xie.

Pan Zi's heart sank instantly, and he realized that they were in trouble. The two pythons did not seem to intend to let them go easily, and their existence posed a huge threat to the entire camp.

Wu Xie, An Ning and Pan Zi looked at each other, their eyes full of despair and fear. They didn't know how to deal with the predicament in front of them, and could only pray silently that they could survive this crisis safely.

Hua Yu looked coldly at the two giant pythons attacking from the front and back at the same time, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he sneered contemptuously. However, surprisingly, the two huge pythons seemed to feel an irresistible pressure, and they began to slowly retreat as if they had encountered a natural enemy, or more precisely, faced a higher level of existence.

Wu Xie, Pan Zi and An Ning watched the giant python gradually moving away, and they were secretly glad and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the fat man happened to turn over and let out a snoring sound that was neither too loud nor too soft.

As if it had heard some kind of signal, the giant python immediately noticed something was wrong and turned around without hesitation to rush towards the direction where the fat man was. Seeing this, Pan Zi kicked the fat man's butt without hesitation, waking him up from his sleep.

The fat man rubbed his eyes and woke up cursing: "Damn, who disturbed my sleep?" The fat man who had just woken up opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a giant python much thicker than his waist rushing towards him, almost sticking to his face.

Xie Yuchen swung his hand and a soft whip appeared in his hand. With a twist of his wrist, the whip went towards the larger python with yellow and green stripes.

The fat man lowered his head and escaped from the python's bloody mouth. He looked back and saw a soft whip with silver light wrapped around the python's head. He then saw the whip was held in the hand of Master Huaer. He was delighted and said, "Master Huaer, in exchange for saving my life this time, as long as you leave this shabby place, I will treat you to the most authentic roast duck in Yanjing."

"Fatty, it's already this late, and you're still thinking about food!" Wu Xie cursed in his heart as he was pulled by Pan Zi to avoid another tree python. He didn't expect the fat man to still be in the mood to joke at this time, and he couldn't help feeling a little helpless and angry. However, at this moment, he heard the fat man's voice: "This is a life-saving grace!"

Wu Xie turned his head and saw the fat man taking out a dagger while talking and preparing to join the battle. He couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this fat man was really an interesting person. But at the same time, he was also worried that the fat man would get hurt, after all, they were facing two ferocious tree pythons.

"Tian Zhen, you have to know that we promised each other our bodies before. It's not that Fatty is not worthy of Huaer Ye, but I can only treat Huaer Ye to a good meal." Fatty explained while running. His tone was light-hearted and humorous, but his eyes were full of firmness and determination. Wu Xie understood that although Fatty looked casual on the surface, he actually took this adventure very seriously.

At this moment, Hei Xia Zi heard that someone was thinking about his Hua Er Ye, his face darkened, and he swung a knife, which directly rubbed Fatty's nose and stabbed into the tree trunk beside him. Fatty was startled, and he ducked and ran away from under the dagger, shouting at Hei Xia Zi: "Hei Ye, it's already this time, and you're still fighting among yourselves!"

Wu Xie looked at the scene in front of him and secretly sighed that the relationship between these people was really complicated. However, he also understood that in such a tense moment, everyone needed to remain calm and united in order to deal with the danger together. So he shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop making trouble and focus on dealing with the tree python first!" After that, he clenched his weapon and prepared to fight the tree python with others.
