Such a little girl, he really thought he had found a treasure.
Chiang Xiao walked back a bit and found a strand of climbing vine wrapped around the branch, bearing deep purple flowers covered in purple powder.
This type of climbing vine was exactly one of the medicinal herbs they were looking for.
Just as she was about to reach for the vine, a snake's head suddenly rose from another branch above it, almost licking her hand with its flicking tongue. Fortunately, her reaction was quick enough, and she pulled back fast enough.
It was a highly venomous little snake.
Its body color closely resembled the branches and vines, making it nearly impossible to notice without close attention.
As Chiang Xiao drew her hand back, she also quickly stepped backward, but by that time, the venomous snake had already lunged toward her.
Chiang Xiao grabbed a branch above her head and leaped, using the momentum to swing and sharply dodge.
