Suddenly the bag of chestnuts in my hand fell to the ground as a flash of a knife passed, the nuts rolling around at my feet. Looking at it, I was so amazed that I couldn't speak. I raised my head to look up at Alfine, then shook my head and looked at the space beside me again. A short knife was hurled beside me, pinning a cobra's head. His mouth was wide open, his eyes staring at me. It wiggled violently for a moment, gradually weakened, and finally remained motionless.My brain started working and putting everything together.To think I could be so careless that such a giant snake crawled up to me without noticing. If it weren't for Alfine to see me and throwing the knife down, I would have been bitten by that giant snake. Alfine looked at me coldly, my lips moved, and I couldn't say a word.What I want to ask is, how strong is Alfine now?The branch he was lying on was quite far from me, but he quickly spotted and killed the snake with lightning speed. Unable to control myself, I t
"We just need to get out of the fog; it's just that we've been stuck in it since yesterday," Alfine explained. “I used to do reconnaissance in the dark and fog; even without a compass, I could guess the direction.” He held out the hand containing Lagan's broken compass. "Your compass is jammed, follow it, and you'll never get out."Lagan held his forehead. "Bad! But you're undeniably perfect; it's wise to let you follow us." Then he changed his face and seriously warned us. “Be careful with everything and don't touch anything, especially colorful things. And remember to follow my footsteps closely, don't accidentally incite any wacky stuff here.""Yes." I took a deep breath to clear my mind.Because I wanted to ensure I didn't make a mistake, my footsteps stepped on Lagan's footprints.Unconsciously, a breeze blew, bringing a few dry leaves down and brushing my cheek; I was startled to stand still, then stroked my chest with my hand, all of which was to scare myself."I didn't expect
Alfine let go of me and stood up, and after a moment of observation, his voice deepened. "Unable to open from the outside, its legs are deeply embedded in the ground and secrete a mucus that forms excellent adhesion."Lagan frowned and began cursing, and after a moment of helplessness to find his way out, he sighed. “I guess he's not here right now; this damn thing is pre-installed when there's an intruder. This one has a switch that can open it; I'm sure it's inside the house."Alfine pondered something; then, he turned his head to look at me. "I'll go inside and find the switch."I immediately reacted to his words. "I'll go with you."“Stand still here.” After saying that, Alfine left.I helplessly followed his back and sighed.Lagan sat on the ground and laughed. "Ignore him, healthy young man; let him do as he pleases."“I guess your friend is tough,” I said as I tried to lift the cage but to no avail."Not only is he tough, he's weird, but he's not bad." Lagan laughed. “I was acc
I took a deep breath and gently entered the house; although the width was not too large, the length of the house was almost endless. I kept walking but couldn't figure out where the end was.Suddenly a sticky hand on my shoulder and a strong smell of blood hit my nose. I cautiously drew the short knife from my belt, but my hands immediately trembled when I saw Alfine.His face was as white as paper, his lips were black, and blood appeared all over his body.I quickly caught up with the fallen Alfine and asked. "What happened? Why are you so badly injured?”Alfine gasped; I have never seen him struggle like this, he interrupted. "There were many snakes inside; they attacked me."“Have you been bitten yet?” I’m worried.This time Alfine couldn't answer me anymore because he had fainted. His entire weight was on me, his breath weak and helpless like a dead man.I shook Alfine and tried to wake him up, but it didn't work.At this time, Lagan and Caser also entered the house.As soon as he
“Have you seen the Blood Clover yet?” Alfine asked."While you were in a coma, I looked around; I didn't see anything." I honestly replied."It seems we cannot get it unless he gives it himself," Alfine spoke heavily.There was a rustling sound outside the door; I saw two dark shadows stretching on the ground.I quickly stood up, suddenly seeing Caser and Lagan chatting happily.Wasn't it a few hours ago that it was almost killing each other? How can it be so peaceful now?Seeing my surprise, Lagan happily explained. “We cleared the misunderstanding; he even said tomorrow he would give us Blood Clover to bring back to save Ryan.”"Really?" I don't know how to describe my feelings now; I can only nod repeatedly to show my gratitude to Caser. "I know you're a good person, thank you very much."Caser didn't show any emotion; he nodded as if accepting my thanks and then turned his eyes to Alfine. “Wake up? Then tell me, how do you compensate me for those snakes?”Alfine was silent; in thi
Caser's expression grew even more sinister, and he smirked mockingly. “I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly, but I thought I would kill him quickly.”"What is this? Why does its shape resemble Blood Clover so much?” Lagan frowned.Caser widened his eyes; he laughed like a madman, half of his face ruined, and those sharp teeth made him more terrifying than ever.“It's a weed that I accidentally discovered while trying to grow Blood Clover, I haven't named it yet, but you can call it Die for now. Because once you drink it, your body will contract violently; every cell in the body will also begin to be destroyed, the blood will circulate at a terrifying speed, the heart will crack, and the pressure in the body will decrease, going high, eventually… the body will explode.” Caser said as he described, indeed, at this moment, he was clouded by hatred.I narrowed my eyes at Caser's cruel words before I thought he had changed his mind and Ryan was saved, but a thousand times, I neve
“NO…” I yelled until my throat hurt.I was like a fool waking up from a trance; my eyes restored their color, and the dark red pupils gradually disappeared.I turned pale when I saw Alfine's loss; I shouted a warning to Alfine. “Alfine, to your left.”Alfine rolled his eyes and lay down just in time to dodge a fatal blow from Caser.After Lagan had recovered a little, he approached me; he did not immediately tell me about my abnormal state a few minutes ago. Even so, I could easily see the doubt and astonishment in his eyes, but I overlooked that detail because I thought he was worried about Caser.I was surprised to see Lagan's clothes in disarray and the wound on his chest; it was like being stuck in a claw. “What's wrong with you, Mr. Lagan? Caser attacked you?”Lagan raised his head, looked at me thoughtfully, then nodded heavily."The wound is too deep." I frantically searched for a clean towel in my backpack and returned. “Let me bandage you temporarily.”"Do not need." Lagan tu
At this time, Lagan also ran over; he was heartbroken to see Caser panting at Alfine's feet. He said sadly. “Please spare his life….”Alfine glared at us like crazy; he huffed for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and dropped the limp Caser to the ground.Lagan quickly approached and put his hand to his nose to check Caser's breathing; he smiled in relief. "Fortunately, it can be saved." When Lagan leaned over and picked Caser up, he turned to look at me with a grateful look. "Thank you; I'll talk to him after he wakes up."I nodded, then dropped the whip beside me. I helplessly buried my face between my knees for a long time.If I choose that, Ryan may not be saved, but I don't want to harm anyone just because of my selfishness.“Why stop me from killing him? After we kill him, we'll rummage through this house; I don't believe we can find the Blood, Clover." Alfine had reverted to his human form, wearing only long pants and showing off his toned muscles.“We just came here to as
