Chapter 1956: Chapter 1800: Poisoned
Dozens of snakes lunged upward, almost reaching the two people before them, with some even spitting venom.
At the critical moment, Sword Qi ravaged through, shredding everything into bits.
Song Yun and the other person breathed a sigh of relief and continued forward following the Sword Qi.
"If this continues, when my True Qi is exhausted, death is inevitable. We must think of a solution."
Song Yun’s mind raced as he glanced at the distant trees, seeing that although there were also snakes at the treetops, their numbers were significantly lower, only three to four on each tree.
Moreover, because he and Dongfang Yun were on the ground, the snakes were still crawling down and hadn’t stopped at the treetops.
In this case, the treetops were undoubtedly a good place.
As long as we can quickly move at the treetops, we can escape the snake swarm.
"Dongfang Yun, hold onto me tightly."
Song Yun shouted, reaching out to wrap his arm around Dongfang Yun’s waist and pulling her into his embrace.
Feeling the beauty in his arms, his mind fluttered.
But now is not the time for such thoughts, he steadied his mind, held Dongfang Yun tightly, and intended to move to a treetop nearby.
If he used the Phantom Step, he could reach there in a single step, without needing to worry about being surrounded by the snake swarm.
Moreover, the few snakes at the treetops were much easier to handle.
However, Dongfang Yun did not understand what he was trying to do and gently pushed him, asking, "What are you doing?"
"There’s no time to explain, quickly hold onto me."
Song Yun’s tone was somewhat domineering, making Dongfang Yun’s heart tremble. Unconsciously, she wrapped her arms around Song Yun’s waist and held tight.
This was the second time she was this close to Song Yun, and she felt very shy.
However, before she had time to be shy, Song Yun had already used the Phantom Step.
Whoosh.
A blur swept past, and their figures appeared on a large tree 300 meters ahead.
The treetop bent slightly under their weight, but it didn’t break.
Dongfang Yun glanced down the tree and saw the dense snake swarm and the three small snakes at the treetop, suddenly understanding Song Yun’s intention.
Though in that instant, she was shocked when Song Yun used the Phantom Step.
Such incredible movement technique was truly unimaginable.
"Hiss."
The three snakes at the treetop lunged at Song Yun and Dongfang Yun.
Swipe, swipe, swipe...
Song Yun wielded his Blood Sun Sword, slicing the three snakes into dozens of segments, which fell away.
At this moment, the snake swarm discovered their whereabouts and rushed toward the big tree.
The snake swarm congregated under the tree, layered and piled, amazingly forming a snake mountain.
Song Yun was not in a hurry. Until the tree could no longer hold the weight of the snake swarm and began to topple, with snakes reaching five meters below his feet, he used the Phantom Step.
In an instant, the treetop was empty, and the snakes’ intelligence evidently couldn’t comprehend what had happened.
They continued climbing the tree until they toppled it.
Crash.
The big tree crashed to the ground, smashing many snakes into two.
The distant snakes didn’t know what happened and continued swarming over.
Perhaps they thought Song Yun and Dongfang Yun had been buried within the snake swarm.
Currently, Song Yun appeared on the treetop of another tree 300 meters away, disappearing in a flash.
A shadow swiftly passed over the treetop, without any pause.
The snake swarm rushed to the toppled big tree, while Song Yun and Dongfang Yun headed in the direction away from the snake swarm.
Thirty seconds later, Song Yun and Dongfang Yun appeared at the summit of another mountain.
Finally freeing themselves from peril, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Yun looked back at the mountain they were just at, seeing the dense snake swarm almost covering one side of the mountain slope, their numbers astonishing.
"Why don’t you let go of me."
A voice came from his arms.
Song Yun lowered his head and realized he was still holding onto Dongfang Yun.
Still, he couldn’t deny that the feel of Dongfang Yun’s waist was really nice, smooth and soft, without a trace of excess flesh.
As for the sensation of pressing against the front, it was even more remarkable and captivating.
Song Yun didn’t want to release Dongfang Yun just yet, but the person in his arms could be deadly.
Reluctantly, he moved his hand away, sliding it from her back to her front before removing it, then asked seriously, "Are you okay?"
Song Yun’s movement was teasing, making the already flustered Dongfang Yun even more embarrassed.
Her cheeks slightly reddened, she didn’t dare meet Song Yun’s gaze directly and shook her head, "I’m fine."
"It’s good you’re okay."
Song Yun chuckled, looking at the snake swarm covering the mountain, and asked, "Where did all these snakes come from, and why are there so many?"
Thinking about the snake swarm earlier, Song Yun was still somewhat shaken.
If he hadn’t thought of moving at the treetops, he and Dongfang Yun might have ended up as snake food today.
Dongfang Yun said, "Blood Scale Pythons are rarely seen; they use their unique scent to attract snakes to gather until all the snakes mate or until the Blood Scale Python dies; then the snake swarm gradually disperses."
As she spoke of mating, Dongfang Yun’s face blushed again.
She kept her composure and continued, "However, today’s situation is peculiar; I’ve been to the Qinglong Mountain Range before, and there weren’t many snakes here. Even if all the snake species in the Qinglong Mountain Range gather, it shouldn’t reach such a quantity."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun’s eyebrows twitched, and he asked seriously, "So are you suggesting this snake swarm gathering could be artificial?"
Dongfang Yun said, "I’m not sure, but it’s possible."
Song Yun said, "If it truly was artificial, what would be the purpose? And such a massive snake swarm is extremely dangerous; their intentions are surely malicious."
Dongfang Yun said, "The Blood Scale Python was just killed by your Sword Qi, and these snakes will soon disperse."
