It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Jiang Ting retreated back into the house, not out of fear, but because she knew there wouldn't be only a few snakes; there would definitely be more coming.

She could solve everything, but it would consume a lot of her supernatural power reserves.

If one's abilities are insufficient, one will find oneself in a dangerous situation.

Therefore, she cannot expend her powers here.

Instead of dealing with these mindless snakes, it's better to deal with the people who control them.

With eyes closed and supernatural powers activated, he focused his senses on the nearby plants, searching for Vikram's location.

The snakes had surrounded the entire house, and some had even squeezed in through the gaps.

As the three snakes opened their mouths to bite, Jiang Ting opened her eyes, and vines sprouted from her palm, strangling and killing the snakes.

After that, she went up to the second-floor corridor window.

Through the glass window, she saw several snakes hissing at her through the glass.

With a flick of his wrist, vines shot out, shattering the glass, and several snakes fell down.

Jiang Ting jumped out of the window, and the vines in her palm quickly grew and hung on a large tree outside the courtyard wall.

As she swung away, she glanced down and saw a dense swarm of snakes.

All the snakes stood upright, hissing incessantly towards the sky.

Jiang Ting reached the big tree outside the courtyard wall, but before she could rest, several snakes climbed up the trunk.

Jiang Ting's face was pale. She couldn't understand where all these snakes came from in Bijin Mountain.

It's strange that with so many snakes, those wealthy people can still live so peacefully.

Use the vines to swing away again.

The snakes followed closely behind.

At the same time, Vikram also learned of Jiang Ting's current location through the communication of the snake swarm.

He took out the little red snake and put it to his mouth, saying something. The little red snake's tail wrapped around his neck, and the man and the snake disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Ting stared at the swarm of snakes below, quite annoyed, as she couldn't shake them off no matter what she did.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned around sharply and saw Vikram on a branch of a tree behind her.

It was all done effortlessly; as long as Vikram was killed, the snake swarm would be left without anyone to command it.

A vine shot straight toward Vikram.

Vikram calmly and quietly watched her...

Jiang Ting squinted. Why wasn't he dodging or defending?

The next second, she was shocked; Vikram had vanished before her eyes.

Before she could think for even a second, she felt something wrap around her foot. Looking down, she saw that it was a snake crawling up from below.

He tried to lift his foot to shake it off, but found that he couldn't move at all; his two legs were tightly wrapped together by the snakes.

Just as he was about to activate his supernatural ability to strangle the snakes with vines, he felt a sense of oppression coming from above.

look up!

She saw Vikram standing on a branch above her, looking at her coldly.

She lashed out with a vine, and once again saw Vikram disappear before her eyes.

Suddenly, she stopped moving; more accurately, she dared not move.

A pair of icy hands landed on her shoulders, and glancing back, she saw Vikram, who had mysteriously vanished and reappeared behind her.

"Vikram!"

Jiang Ting realized that she had been careless and hadn't fully understood his true strength.

"Wood-element user, let's make a deal."

Ok?

Jiang Ting, who was thinking about how to escape quickly, was taken aback. This snake witch had made such a commotion, but instead of killing her, she was negotiating terms.

What terms do you want to discuss?

"Give Xiao Hei the antidote, and if Xiao Hei lives, you live!"

It turns out it was because of that giant python; he was actually a loyal and affectionate owner.

"Vikram, I can give you the antidote, but how do I know you won't back out after I've given the black snake the antidote?"

"You have no choice but to trust me."

Vikram placed his other hand on her shoulder as well. "You've been marked. From now on, wherever you go, if there are snakes there, they will attack you regardless of the season."

Jiang Ting's heart sank. Regardless of the season, meaning even in winter, snakes that hibernate underground will emerge from the soil to attack her.

There's not even a peaceful night's sleep left.

After a moment's thought, she compromised, "Okay, I will help the snake detoxify, and I hope you will keep your promise."

Vikram's lips moved, and the snakes that had been coiled around her legs retreated one by one.

With her legs feeling lighter, Jiang Ting moved them slightly.

"Find a place."

"Let's go to the Min family!"

Jiang Ting was somewhat surprised by his choice of location, but quickly regained her composure. "Okay!"

……

Emma woke up looking unhappy. She hadn't slept well, and looking at her haggard face in the mirror, she was full of resentment.

Finally, filled with resentment, he went downstairs.

The four people sitting in the main hall all looked up at the stairs when they heard footsteps.

"Emma, ​​you're awake. What would you like to eat? This old monk will make it for you."

Zhi Du smiled as he watched the person coming down.

Emma held up the unopened umbrella and pointed at the cloth bag on Zhidu's body. "Give me two chicken legs from that bag."

Zhi Du's lips twitched. "Emma, ​​this chicken leg doesn't taste good."

Emma stormed up to him and tried to snatch it. Master Zhidu didn't resist, and Emma reached her hand into the bag.

He took out a large, shiny chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

She took the chicken leg out of her mouth after just one bite and noticed something was wrong. She looked at it again and again...

"What is this? It tastes awful."

Master Zhidu smiled and said, "The monk-brand flour imitates a giant chicken leg."

"puff!"

"Cough cough..."

Black Hawk and Zhao Xu looked at the smiling monk and found it utterly ridiculous.

I initially thought he was a devout Buddhist monk, but it turns out it was all just an act.

Emma disdainfully tossed the half-eaten "chicken leg" back to Chido, saying, "I want to eat meat."

"Please wait a moment, benefactor Emma, ​​this old monk will go and make you a real chicken leg."

"Master, I want one too."

"And me too."

Black Hawk and Zhao Xu spoke in unison, saying that they needed to eat well and be full so that they would have the means to survive the night.

Zhi Du smiled and nodded, looking at Pastor Zhan. "Does Benefactor Zhan need anything?"

Pastor Zhan politely smiled and replied, "Thank you, Master, but I don't need it!"

Just as the chicken legs were cooked, two unexpected people returned together.

Black Hawk and Zhao Xu exchanged a glance, but said nothing.

Master Zhidu chuckled and asked the two, "Want some chicken legs?"

Vikram walked straight past Master Zhidu to the backyard, and Jiang Ting shook her head and followed him to the backyard.

The most surprised person was Pastor Zhan, who watched the two of them walk through the main hall and head towards the backyard, something flashing in his eyes.

……

Night fell, and everyone returned to their rooms.

Last night, after Zhidu rescued Hanxi, he randomly found a room on the first floor to treat her.

After nightfall, Master Zhidu performed some divination, then frowned and carried the unconscious Han Xi to his room on the second floor.

Black Hawk and Zhao Xu changed rooms tonight, to a room with a perfectly intact door, which was right next to Master Zhidu's room.

After staying in the room for more than ten minutes, Black Hawk had some things he couldn't figure out, so he said to Zhao Xu, "I'm going to go next door to find Master Zhidu."

Zhao Xu knew he wouldn't seek out Master Zhidu without a reason; there must be something he wanted to discuss. He nodded and said, "Be careful."

Black Hawk left the room and went to the next room to knock on the door.

Master Zhidu opened the door and let Black Hawk in. "Benefactor Wu, do you have something to discuss with this old monk?"
