26: Chapter 26: Too Unprepared 26: Chapter 26: Too Unprepared Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Qingtong watched the direction in which the young boy ran off and raised an eyebrow.
She had just been ready to fight fiercely, even harboring killing intent toward the young boy.
If he dared to rush in front of her and use her as a shield, she would have struck him down without hesitation!
But unexpectedly, the young boy took one look at her and ran off, even luring away those giant pythons.
It seemed he didn't intentionally bring the giant pythons here, nor did he intend to use her as a shield; it was just an accident!
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Luo Qingtong sniffed the faint scent lingering in the air and narrowed her eyes.
This scent would drive demon beasts mad and relentlessly pursue the target!
Apparently, this was why the young boy was being hunted by these demon pythons.
At this moment, because of the recent stench in the wind, many of these scents had already clung to Luo Qingtong.
Even though the young boy had stopped in time and lured the giant pythons away, many of them still tracked the scent toward Luo Qingtong.
Evidently, they had also taken her as a target.
"Troublesome."
Luo Qingtong frowned and her figure soared upwards in an instant.
Swish!
She charged toward the direction the boy ran off.
To stop the hunt of these giant pythons, the problem had to be solved with that young boy!
If she guessed right, the young boy must have ingested some drugs that incited these giant pythons to madness, causing him to emit that alluring scent, making the giant pythons chase him relentlessly, determined to swallow him whole.
To rid these scents, she needed to neutralize the drug in the boy's body!
"Swish!"
Luo Qingtong rushed toward the giant pythons charging at her.
Under her Pupil Vision, the weak points of these giant pythons shone like beacons in the dark night.
The jade hairpin in her hand sliced swiftly through the air.
A giant python immediately let out a miserable scream, its long body thrashing fiercely in the air, sending several other pythons flying away.
Luo Qingtong slipped effortlessly through the huge gaps created by their attack and swept toward the direction the boy ran off.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to pull a few herbs from under a big tree beside her.
"Hiss!"
When she arrived, the spiritual artifact on the boy's body could no longer hold up.
The defensive glow of the spiritual artifact vanished, and he was heavily knocked to the ground by the tail wind from a giant python's swinging tail behind him.
"Ugh…
Wow!"
Facing the enormous python head rushing over, the young boy was terrified to the extreme.
Yet even so, he stubbornly refrained from crying for help.
He knew that deep in this forest, no one could save him.
Tears streamed down the young boy's face, carving wet trails on his jade-like visage, making him look pitiful and adorable.
His lip was bitten hard, even to the point of bleeding.
Just when the young boy felt utterly hopeless, a swift breeze suddenly swept by.
His waist was grabbed fiercely, and in the next second, his entire body was lifted into the air.
"Fairy…
Fairy Sister!"
In shock, the young boy gazed at the exquisite beauty close at hand, completely stunned.
Perhaps because he was rescued, this moment gave Luo Qingtong a massive impact on the boy.
She felt like a ray of light, giving the despairing young boy hope in the endless darkness of his journey.
"Wow!
Fairy Sister!"
The boy clung to Luo Qingtong, wailing loudly, as if holding on to his final salvation.
Luo Qingtong saved him casually, little expecting the young boy would hold her and cry like he'd just found a relative.
This defenseless and intimate manner left Luo Qingtong momentarily stunned.
If she didn't lack any memory of this little guy, Luo Qingtong might have believed he knew her.
Isn't he too defenseless?
Doesn't he suspect she might be sent by his enemies?
Well, being chased by a swarm of giant pythons, barely keeping his life, only a full enemy would come to save him…
