It was almost sunset. The sun was as red as blood, and the sea breeze was still chilly.
At this moment, two people and a snake were confronting each other on the beach. To be precise, only Su Wan was awake.
It was a snake about the thickness of Su Wan’s arm. Its head was triangular and very sharp. The patterns on its body were complex to the point of exaggeration. Its pair of cold green vertical eyes were staring at Su Wan.
It was as if in the next moment, the snake would suddenly dash and bite Su Wan’s throat.
As a girl, Su Wan’s personality was gentle and quiet. Since she was young, she had been afraid of this kind of soft and boneless creature.
When she saw the snake sticking out its tongue, Su Wan’s eyes immediately widened, and a strong astringency appeared in her throat.
God!
Weren’t snakes cold-blooded animals? Weren’t they most afraid of fire?
This was not scientific at all!
A faint rustling sound rang in her ears. It was because the snake was getting closer!
The faint sound of the wind was heard by the seaside. The bonfire was burning with a warm yellow halo. As it burned, the withered branches emitted a faint wood fragrance.
Across the bonfire, the snake with complicated patterns was staring at Su Wan with its pair of ice-green vertical eyes.
However, due to the bonfire in front of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, it instinctively did not want to go near it.
However, the body of the man lying on the ground had a strong smell of blood.
The smell of blood infatuated it too much. It did not want to give up at all!
Before it even got a taste of it, it had already determined by the smell of rust that the man lying on the ground would be a delicious prey.
The snake coiled its body as if it was considering how to attack. It had not come out to look for food for a long time. The two humans in front of it were naturally the best food in its eyes.
Although Su Wan could not recognize the species of the snake, she had a bad feeling when she saw how sharp its triangular head was and how it looked like it was ready to attack at any time.
Obviously, this was a venomous snake.
However, no matter what, she could only force herself to remain calm at this moment.
Su Wan took a deep breath. Jiang Xuecheng was still lying there. This man needed her protection now, and she could not back down no matter what.
The venomous snake stared at Su Wan. Its long tongue would be come out from time to time, as if it was calculating the time of the attack.
Su Wan subconsciously picked up a piece of dead wood and a stone. She looked like she could counterattack at any time, but in fact, her heart was already very tight.
Her face was pale, and her red eyes were only filled with coldness and fear.
She was afraid of snakes. She was born with no way to suppress it.
God knows, when she took the field survival course, she knew what techniques to use to control the snake’s head and make it not move. She also knew that the snake’s seven inches was the most vulnerable part.
But!
Those were just words on paper. She had never really subdued a snake before!
If it were in the past, Su Wan would not even dare to think about touching these things!
Su Wan took a deep breath again, and the color drained from her pale face.
The triangular-headed venomous snake had already slithered over with a rustling sound. Its body was winding, and its colorful scales were terrifying to look at.
Su Wan held the tree branch with one hand and a rock with the other, but beads of sweat kept dripping down her face!
When it was about one meter away from Su Wan, the snake suddenly stopped again!
It looked carefully at the bonfire, obviously extremely fearful.
When Su Wan saw the pair of green, cold vertical pupils, she felt as if a layer of ice water had been splashed all over her body, and even the soles of her feet were emitting traces of cold air.
She absolutely could not panic!
If she panicked, not only would she lose her life, but now that Jiang Xuecheng was unconcious, he would definitely become the food of the snake!
Su Wan’s hands were tightly gripping her “weapon”. All the hairs on her body were standing on end, and her breathing became even more rapid.
Should she not move if the enemy did not move, or should she attack the snake first?!
As Su Wan hesitated, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her fair palm.
Because the wounds had yet to heal, Su Wan felt a sharp pain in her palm after the sweat had formed.
Separated by the faint bonfire, the woman and the snake were silently confronting each other.
Su Wan’s brain was working at a high speed. In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through her mind!
Since no one was adding firewood to the bonfire, coupled with the howling sea breeze, Su Wan could already feel that the fire was getting smaller!
And this trend undoubtedly stimulated the snake that was waiting for an opportunity!
Oh no!
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew that if the bonfire was extinguished, the snake that was afraid of the flames would probably pounce on her without hesitation!
Because she was too nervous and her life was on the line, Su Wan’s knuckles were tightly clenched, turning a greenish-white color.
What should she do?!
Su Wan was flustered, and her mind even went blank for a short while!
And that snake was obviously much calmer than Su Wan.
Its vertical pupils narrowed, and it saw that the flame in front of it had weakened quite a bit. The whole snake slithered forward, occasionally sticking out its tongue, and it was about to pounce on Su Wan!
Su Wan was shocked, cold sweat dripping down her body!
She knew that she could not sit still and wait for death. Finally, she mustered up her courage and used a branch to stir up a bonfire. She directly threw the spark-tinged withered branch at the snake!
The snake clearly did not expect Su Wan to strike first!
Its body, which was as thick as a bowl’s mouth, suddenly trembled. It kept swaying its body and nimbly jumped out of the range of the branch’s attack!
However, the tail of the snake was still narrowly grazed by the burning tree branch!
Snakes were most afraid of fire and heat!
Although this little bit of heat was far from enough to be fatal, it was enough to anger the snake!
This detestable human!
That pair of dark green vertical pupils originally had no trace of emotion, but at this moment, there was obvious anger in them!
It wanted this human to die!
When Su Wan saw that her attack had missed, her heart was already filled with extreme fear, and even her breathing was slightly stifled!
At this moment, there was no other way. Su Wan could only throw the stone she picked up at the venomous snake’s seven inches!
But with her previous experience, how could the snake be so easily hit by Su Wan!
It was too fast. In the blink of an eye, the venomous snake’s eyes revealed a fierce light. It had already moved its flexible body and pounced directly at Su Wan’s throat!
It wanted to bite Su Wan’s throat!
Su Wan did not have any tools in her hands. She did not know where she got the courage to reach out and grab the head of the venomous snake!
She could not let this cold-blooded animal bite Jiang Xuecheng!
This belief flashed through her mind. Su Wan could already feel the slippery feeling in her hands. It almost made her feel nauseous!
Originally, Su Wan had already firmly held onto the snake’s head, making it unable to move. However, because of the feeling of the scales, Su Wan’s hand loosened for a moment!
At that moment, the venomous snake’s head was raised!
A burst of intense pain instantly spread from Su Wan’s shoulder!
