The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the ground, resembling butterflies dancing in the wind, speckling the forest with vitality. Luo Zheng's cold gaze swept the surroundings, noting places suitable for concealment, retreat, and cover in combat, memorizing the terrain. His resolute face briefly revealed a murderous intent as he quickly ran toward a dense shrubbery on the mountainside.
The underbrush was thick with weeds and littered with several rotting trees. Luo Zheng glanced around and was about to hide under a rotting tree when he saw a colorful snake slithering out, its tongue flickering. It was about a meter long with a golden-yellow body and a triangular, flat head. Luo Zheng startled, "A gold-eyed snake?" He was overjoyed and charged forward in a dash, reaching out and grabbing the snake at the vital spot seven inches below its head.
