A Deadly Trap (8)

The creature growled then charged towards the advancing Shi Rong. It opened its large dragon like mouth as it advanced towards the young woman. She smiled cunningly as its mouth nearly closed shut on her body. She quickly spun around towards the side of the creatures head. She gripped the naginata handle with one hand then proceeded to spin around once more punching in the face with the other.

Its giant body lifted off the ground as it crashed into a nearby tree. Shi Rong huffed as she straightened out her hunched over body.

She shook her fist then ran towards Shen Cao and Xia Lingxiao. "That should have been enough time, we need to free her now so I can stop toying with this thing and just kill it."

Shen Cao glanced at Shi Rong in annoyance as she spoke with deep malice in her voice. "Then just kill it you vile woman!"

Shi Rong narrowed her eyes coldly as she placed her hands tightly on Shen Cao's arms. She gave Shen Cao a cold glare. Shen Cao shivered under the sudden light that flashed through Shi Rongs eyes before they turned to a soft sweet innocent grin.

Shi Rong pulled Shen Cao roughly from the black venom resulting in blood spilling from her wounds.

Shen Cao screamed loudly as she gripped her skin. She glared murderously at Shi Rong with tear stained eyes as her hands trembled gripping her blood stained legs.

Shi Rong turned on her heels towards the creature as it pulled itself to its feet. "I need to extract the venomous sack from its throat while it's still alive so it can be properly preserved. If I do it after we kill it, it'll quickly deteriorate."

Xia Lingxiao nodded then pulled Shen Cao to her feet. "You can whine and complain later for now we must all work together to get that venomous sack."

Shen Cao glanced at Xia Lingxiao with tears still in her eyes as she spoke viciously through her teeth. "Lord Lingxiao I have no intentions of helping this vile and malicious woman. Not after what she has done to me."

Shen Cao raised her hands displaying her bloods stained fingers and palms for Xia Lingxiao to see.

Xia Lingxiao lowered her hands with annoyance. "Must you act like a spoiled child. My dear sister has saved your life for if it wasn't for her you would be nothing but skin and bones or that things meal. Yet you sit here and act ungrateful because you have obtained some injuries."

Shen Cao began to shake in anger under Xia Lingxiao's words. She clenched her blood stained fists tightly as she spoke in a menacing tone. "That woman is cruel and evil. You didn't see the evil murderous light in her eye as she gripped my shoulders to aid in my rescue. She knew exactly what she was doing. Answer me this, how could a woman with so much knowledge not know how to free somebody from that substance without any harm unless it was intentional?"
