Novel Full Feng Qing sent the arrow worked by a spring concealed in his sleeve, the arrow made a sound and exploded, leaving a red trail in the sky.
Murong Yun raised his head and muttered, “Qianqian.”
The red arrow also drew Luo Qianqian’s attention, “Is that the signal from Feng Qing and Su Liancheng?”
“Correct.”
Could this be a good sign or a good sign.
Did they find the Serpent Flower or did they encounter danger?
Luo Qianqian dragged Murong Yun and hurried him, “Let’s get moving, probably they need us.”
Unfortunately, they were blocked by a black shadow right after they walked a few steps.
Luo Qianqian took a closer look and shouted, “It’s a serpent, we are blocked by its tail!”
The serpent was of three meters long, it emerged out of nowhere and now it brandished its tail, aiming to attack the young couple.
Luo Qianqian withdrew Flesh and was ready to get in the battle.
But the next second Luo Qianqian lost her balance and fell into the familiar arms.
Bang.
It sounded like something had exploded, and strangely enough, the hissing had disappeared as well.
“Don’t open your eyes.” there came Murong Yun’s reminder when Luo Qianqian was just about to open her eyes to have a look.
Luo Qianqian did what she was told, but soon she knew why Murong Yun told her that, the smell of blood overwhelmed the air.
It must not be a pretty scene.
Murong Yun carried her in his arms and walked out of the cave.
The two made their way to Su Liancheng and Feng Qing, but Murong Yun couldn’t be as fast as they wished due to the narrow pathway in the forest.
Luo Qianqian opened her eyes tentatively after she couldn’t smell that smell any more, “Did you just kill the serpent?”
Murong Yun didn’t want to lie to Luo Qianqian, “Yes I did.”
Murong Yun wasn’t sure whether Luo Qianqian would dislike him or think him too ruthless.
“You did the right thing, good call in that situation.” Luo Qianqian comforted Murong Yun, she didn’t want to kill the serpent, but Murong Yun was just protecting her.
Serpents were animals, you couldn’t expect to negotiate with them or anything, it would lead to a ugly battle if Murong Yun were slow in action.
They had to be cruel if they wanted to find the herbal medicines in a place like Monster Forest.
“Don’t you hate me now?” Murong Yun’s eyes flickered.
Luo Qianqian smiled, “Of course not, I would do the same thing. Are we getting close to them now?”
‘Qianqian, you are something else!’ Murong Yun exclaimed in his heart.
He stroked her cheek, “We are getting there now.”
They arrived at a big cave after a little while, it was different from the caves they had been to and it was pitch dark.
Luo Qianqian checked the surroundings and she was surprised to see a lot of serpents debris near the cave. And all the other serpents would avoid this area.
There were also bloodstains on the ground.
Luo Qianqian frowned, “Murong Yun, could these bloodstains be Su Liancheng and Feng Qing’s?”
Murong Yun was also studying the surrounding area, he shook his head because he knew Su Liancheng and Feng Qing’s capability, “I don’t think they are hurt.”
But the arrow signal indeed came from this cave, Murong Yun was sure they were here.
“The blood stains are not theirs?” Luo Qianqian muttered, “Someone else is here?”
“Looks like it, just one second.” with that Murong Yun picked up a branch from the ground and wrapped the top of the branch with a few pieces of rags from his sleeve.
Once again, Luo Qianqian was amazed by how resourceful this man could be and it was so strange that this man’s clothes was still stainless while hers was covered with mud.
But soon she shook her head and reminded herself that she had work to do, it wasn’t time to enjoy this view, she needed to find Feng Qing and Su Liancheng first.
“Follow me.” Murong Yun carried a torch and waved at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian shook her head again and took a deep breath, together they walked into the cave.
This cave was so deep and so dark, and there were two separated ways as they went deeper, Luo Qianqian was surprised that she didn’t see any sign left by Feng Qing on both ways.
“Which way should we go?” Luo Qianqian turned to Murong Yun.
There came a man’s shriek before Murong Yun could reply, it sounded like he was in great pain.
Luo Qianqian shuddered, “This way, let’s save them!”
Murong Yun swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue, he decided to go have a look with Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian got more and more nervous as they came closer to the voice, she hoped it was someone else.
“Young Master, run… I’ll stay here and you run!”
“Oh no!”
Luo Qianqian could hear a man shouting, she fastened her steps and so did Murong Yun, together they ran closer to the voice.
What came to her sight was a serpent of ten meters long, it was as wide as a log, and its fangs were at least ten inches! Luo Qianqian trembled with fear seeing this.
This serpent was even frilled around the neck, Luo Qianqian wasn’t sure should it be called a serpent any more, it bore some resemblance to dragon even.
There were some people lying on the ground near the serpent, Luo Qianqian recognized those people, they were Liang Fengqi’s servants!
It looked like they were all dead or deadly injured.
Liang Fengqi, Liang Ao and Liang Yu and two servants were hiding behind a huge rock, the two servants were injured as well, but they weren’t bitten by the serpent, so the wounds weren’t deadly.
A giant egg was lying next to Liang Ao, and the serpent kept beating its tails on the ground, it looked like it was ready to charge at the big rock and smash these people, but it didn’t want to hurt the egg, its baby.
