"Ah!"
Just then, a terrified scream suddenly pierced through the forest.
Ling Chen, who was sprinting, came to an abrupt halt and turned towards the direction of the sound, his expression changing dramatically. He was certain that the scream had come from Nanrong Wanqing.
This woman... Hadn't he warned her not to make any noise? It looked like their plan was about to go south.
No longer concerned about the enemies behind him, he hurriedly dashed towards Nanrong Wanqing's location. Those people, hearing Nanrong Wanqing's voice, would definitely shift their target; he had to beat them to it and get back to her first.
Before long, facing a patch of grass half a person tall, he took a long stride and plunged into it.
Before he could even speak, he saw a figure flash before his eyes, and a pair of arms reached out, tightly clasping his neck.
"What happened?"
"Snake... there's a snake..."
