Suddenly, Kelvin was frozen in place. He asked shakily, “Brent, are you talking about that…”
“What did you see this time?” Brent wanted to yell at Kelvin again, but he raised his head to see a hulking
Kelvin’s legs started trembling. “Is this the legendary hydra?”
“I told you not to read useless books. Hydras aren’t real. That has to be a python. It isn’t venomous.”
As soon as he said that, the snake got close. A giant red snake revealed itself to them.
“Brent, does that look like a python to you? It’s clearly a venomous snake!”
Brent was rendered speechless.
As expected, a strange place like this defied logic. Brent remained calm. After all, they were armed with modern weapons.
“Be on guard, guys. Be ready to fire.”
Such a large snake was not only venomous, but it could also swallow a person whole. It was way more terrifying than the regular snakes and scorpions.
Joel raised his hand. “Wait. Don’t attack without reason. You might agitate it.”
The snake bunched itself up and observed the group. It didn’t seem hostile. Then, it started to drum its tail on the ground and flick its tongue. It was clearly collecting information on them.
“Oh no, it’s preparing to attack. Brace yourselves and protect Mr. Williams.”
Kelvin gulped as the snake was about to attack.
As soon as the snake moved, a mysterious tune could be heard coming from the forest. It didn’t sound like any sort of musical instrument. The snake calmed down visibly after hearing it.
In such a tense situation, they saw someone emerging from the mist. It was a child-a short, young girl.
She was wearing clothes made with colorful fabric. There was a weird accessory around her neck too.
She was holding a leaf. The tune was coming from the leaf.
The red snake began to approach the girl. Kelvin instinctively called out, “Be careful!”
Then, he saw the snake propping the girl up.
Mist, forest, giant snake, and young girl.
A beam of light shone through the gigantic tree and fell on the girl. She had skin pale as snow, and her face was exquisite. Her eyes were actually green, and her features were well-defined.
She was dressed in simple and colorful clothes. The weird thing was she wasn’t wearing shoes and was completely barefoot.
Around her ankles, she wore two anklets made of multicolored threads adorned with small bells.
She was a pretty little girl who exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. She sat on the giant red snake.
The girl didn’t have the innocence of children her age. She looked down at the group of people. condescendingly like a goddess. The beam of light shining on her made her look even more otherworldly, like a saint of legends.
She looked at the group cautiously as if asking why they were there.
Joel quickly explained, “Young lady, we have a patient who’s inflicted with lethal poison. We need to enter the village for a cure. Please let us through. We come in peace, and we won’t hurt anyone.”
The girl didn’t reply. She patted the snake on the head. It understood what she wanted immediately. The snake brought her toward the stretcher Hunter was on.
Both Kelvin and Brent felt chills down their spines when they saw that. But their duty compelled them to stand their ground.
As the snake approached, its massive size and bright red scales looked even more terrifying.
The girl got down from the snake and went up to Hunter. He was also covered in protective clothing. She saw his tightly shut eyes through the visor.
Kelvin lifted a part of Hunter’s clothes, revealing the red pattern on his skin.
“My employer is infected with Ninefold Venom. He only has one more day to live. If we can’t save him soon, he’ll be a goner. Young lady, please let us into the village. We really harbor no ill intent.”
The girl remained silent. She caressed the snake’s head and left while blowing on the leaf. The snakes and other venomous creatures quickly dispersed.
Joel said delightedly, “Let’s get a move on. She has allowed us to enter the village.”
The group was overjoyed. Fortune was finally on their side. Hunter would definitely be saved.
The girl sat on the snake, which slithered along very quickly. But the sound from her leaf was leading the way. It came from one direction and led them out of the forest.
When they arrived at the village, the group felt like they had stumbled upon paradise.
The village was situated near the equator. The average temperature was around 77°F all year long. Vegetables and fruits can be grown in all seasons. Even the flowers could bloom without withering.
There was a stream running in the village. The houses were all built with wood or bamboo. Flowers were blooming everywhere.
Kelvin had been to many countries and islands, but none were like this. The temperature was perfect, and the air was fresh. There were wild animals running around.
The girl waited for them on a slope. The giant red snake had disappeared. The village was very clean.
There were no snakes or other venomous creatures to be seen.
It was like the animals and humans had a pact. The humans wouldn’t hurt the animals, and the animals guarded the humans.
“Let’s go. We’ve really met a benefactor today.”
The girl was young but she was obviously well-respected. The villagers who walked past her would greet her.
Brent noticed that they didn’t treat her like a child. They were very respectful when they talked to her.
They would stand up straight and pay respects to her.
The girl would nod lightly, but she always remained silent.
The group followed her to a bamboo forest. She signaled for them to stop moving. Then, she entered the bamboo forest alone.
There was a stream next to the bamboo forest and a stone bridge that looked very exquisite.
They saw a gigantic tree a short distance away. It looked like it had been there for over a century. There were some red ribbons hanging on the tree with tiny bells attached to them. They would chime when the winds blew.
There weren’t any fancy decorations, but it was very cozy.
Krystal whispered, “Is the young lady mute?”
Joel glared at her. “Shut up before you find yourself in trouble.”
Brent pointed at a glimpse of red that was a short distance from them. Krystal felt her skin crawl when she saw the dark green eyes. That was the giant red snake they saw in the forest. It had been following them all along.
After a while, an old lady came out of a wooden hut. Joel quickly went up to her.
“You’re Aunt Wendy. I’m Joel. You saved my life before. Do you remember me?”
Wendy was quite old but quick on her feet, and her eyes were bright. She didn’t exhibit the typical signs of aging, like blurry vision and hearing loss.
She wore an outfit similar to the girl’s. Her white hair was held in place with a hairpin.
She looked energetic and carefree. “Oh, hi, Joel. 40 years just passed in the blink of an eye, didn’t it?
You’re still the same. I told you, you wouldn’t grow any taller.”
Joel blushed at the memory. At that time, he was severely poisoned, and his teacher brought him here when he was only in his teens.
Back then, Wendy was in her 40s. She was still in her prime and looked younger than other people her age.
She had a fiery temper. After curing him, she told him that he would never grow taller again. Joel drank a lot of milk and played a lot of basketball after he returned home.
But his height remained at around 5.5 feet. He was shorter than the younger people in the group, like Brent.
“Aunt Wendy, you haven’t changed a bit. It’s nice to see you. Can you please save this kid? He’s been poisoned with Ninefold Venom.”
Wendy sighed. “This is a tough one. Ninefold Venom is a combination of nine toxins. If I get even one of them wrong, the antidote might become poison too. It would only speed up his demise.”
Chris quickly took out the examination report and said, “Madam Wendy, please help us out. We’ve already
Identified the toxins. Please take a look. We’ll get you whatever you need for the antidote.”
“Alright, bring him in. I’ll take a look.”
They quickly brought Hunter into a hut.
“Take off his shirt for me.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Krystal was about to do it, but Brent and Kelvin didn’t give her the chance to do so. They quickly removed the protective clothing that Hunter was wearing.
Joel rolled up Hunter’s sleeves and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. The red pattern had already spread to his shoulders and his abdomen.
He only had one day left.
“He doesn’t have much time left,” Wendy said softly.
“Yeah, It took us one day to get here. Aunt Wendy, he’s very important to me. I’ll do whatever you want if you can save his life.”
Wendy took off Hunter’s gas mask. His face was covered with the red pattern too.
She was momentarily stunned when she saw his face. “He…”
Krystal noticed the change in Wendy’s expression and hurriedly asked, “Madam Wendy, do you know him?
Wendy’s gaze shifted between Krystal’s and Hunter’s faces. “What’s your relationship with him?”
“I’m his fiancée. Please, save him! He means the world to me. I can’t imagine life without him. If you need blood, take mine! We have the same blood type,” Krystal responded before Brent or the others could speak up.
Brent and the others frowned. They thought it was inappropriate for her to answer so arbitrarily. But
Hunter’s life was on the line at the moment, so now wasn’t the time to address such issues.
“Do you love him a lot?” Wendy asked.
Joel couldn’t help but feel like something was off with Wendy’s expression.
“Yes, I’ve loved him for many years. I’ll save him even if it costs me my life!”
“What a pair of star-crossed lovers.” Wendy almost clapped her hands.
“It’s just a shame that I can’t save him. You’ll have to seek help elsewhere.”
Then, she waved her hand and asked them to leave.
Willow stood at the side and gazed at Hunter’s face for a moment before reaching out and tugging on
Wendy’s clothes. It seemed as if she was pleading for her help.
Wendy gently held the girl’s hand and said, “Willow, we can’t save this person. Let’s send them away.”
Hunter seemed to have sensed something and struggled to open his eyes to look in their direction.
However, his vision had been impaired by the virus.
He could only see a hazy image of an elderly lady holding Willow, who was looking back at him. But he couldn’t see the child’s face.
Joel chased after them because he felt that Wendy’s attitude had changed too drastically.
“I’m begging you, Aunt Wendy. Please save him!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Joel. But you’re also a medical student. You should know how deadly Ninefold Venom is. Besides, what else can I do when he’s already in such bad shape?”
“Aunt Wendy, there must be a way. There’s still a day left. Please, at least give it a shot.”
