Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Has She Become So Weak That She Needs Protection from a Child? Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Has She Become So Weak That She Needs Protection from a Child? There were no lights on the back mountain, and the darkness faintly conveyed the rustling sounds of small animals.
Zhao Tianfang, being a big shot at the Golden Core Stage, was fully armed at this moment, and his subordinates, including Xiao Yi, were extremely tense.
If it were any other mountain, it wouldn’t matter, but this one was right behind the university town!
Not only were there students from Imperial Capital University, but also from several other well-known universities. Who knew if some foolish student might disregard school rules and sneak off to the back mountain for a romantic tryst?
The serpent on the back mountain had to be dealt with!
“Do you need my help?” A girl’s casual voice floated through the night breeze, yet it was exceptionally clear.
Bai Chuwei emerged through the night, her face brimming with a smiling expression.
Zhao Tianfang’s pupils shrank in an instant and a trace of ecstasy arose, “Divine Doctor Bai?! You’re going to help?”
Bai Chuwei nodded nonchalantly, feeling protective of the entire student body of Imperial Capital University. She just hoped that no student would be foolish enough to venture into the back mountain.
“Let’s go,” she said.
Zhao Tianfang didn’t consider Bai Chuwei his main combat ally. He just hoped that should someone get injured later, this Divine Doctor could help with healing.
Zhao Tianfang looked solemn and instructed Xiao Yi, “Keep a close watch over Divine Doctor Bai, let’s move out!”
Bai Chuwei was puzzled, had she become so weak that she now needed these young ones to protect her, an old ancestor like herself?
Did her appearance have no deterrent effect at all?
Cultivators had night vision and moved unhindered through the forest.
Zhao Tianfang led his team straight to the cave where they had previously been attacked. A rancid smell wafted from the entrance of the cave, causing everyone to frown.
Zhao Tianfang’s cultivation base was not weak; standing outside the cave, he could already sense that there were no living creatures inside, nor any sign of where they had gone.
Bai Chuwei’s tone was cool, “You dare to climb the mountain to tease a serpent ?”
Zhao Tianfang’s face reddened involuntarily; he coughed and said, “Divine Doctor Bai, please be careful. We’ll speak after we find that serpent.”
Bai Chuwei replied, “But it’s right beside your foot.”
As soon as Bai Chuwei finished speaking, a “hiss” from the Giant Serpent surged through the air, and two red snake eyes, as bright as large red lanterns, suddenly leapt open with a gaping maw, the putrid breath hitting their faces–
The cool touch of the serpent’s tongue licked Zhao Tianfang’s arm. The next second, the snake’s tail whipped out, flinging Zhao Tianfang nearly a hundred meters away, right into a tree that snapped in two and fell with a crash!
Xiao Yi was shocked and called out, “Senior Zhao, are you alright?”
Apart from the serpent’s hissing, all was silent around them; they couldn’t hear Zhao Tianfang’s response.
Was that it, over so quickly?
One of the cultivators suddenly went pale and screamed, “Ahhh–”
The giant black serpent repeated its action, flicking its tongue on the cultivator’s face; the icy touch instantly scared him so much that he wet his pants!
Screams followed, one after another, like a symphony to the night.
Xiao Yi’s face went ashen as one of his teammates after another fell. His legs were trembling…
In the night, the Giant Serpent swiftly approached the last remaining person, Xiao Yi, who remembered his command to protect Divine Doctor Bai and was about to throw his body in front of Bai Chuwei…
But the next second, a sigh that was too old for her age sounded in the woodlands, “Are the youngsters these days really this weak?”
Xiao Yi looked around, bewildered. What was happening?
He looked down and saw the girl in white, looking serene, with one foot firmly planted on the head of the massive serpent!
That Giant Serpent was rendered motionless in an instant.
