Chapter 625 Lying in Wait

The mountain was tranquil, and the forest serene.

A rigid snake lay dead across the path, unmoving.

With a flick of a sharp claw, it was flung into the underbrush, snapping several dry branches as it fell, leaves scattering tumbling to the ground.

Tata stood upright, leading the way, a wooden stick slung over his shoulder with a small cloth pouch dangling from the end. He strolled along, swaying side to side, as insects and other small creatures hastily cleared a path.

The remaining little otters stopped and started, spreading out around them, digging into any burrow they found.

A faint almond scent wafted through the air.

One of the little otters stood straight, sniffing the scent and ran over to Liang Qu as if presenting a treasure.

Liang Qu took the item from the otter, and as it turned its head, he casually tossed it away.

"Brrr, it's strangely cold in the mountains."
