Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 169 Threat

Indeed, the snake couldn't bite me, but as it chased me, its flicking tongue struck me like a sniper rifle, and I instantly plummeted downwards. ●⌒,

Damn, how could I have forgotten about that? How is this snake so smart? Seeing me fall to the ground, the snake rushed towards me without hesitation. You can easily find out how fast a snake can move in an instant by searching on Baidu.

That was as fast as a bullet fired from a pistol; the snake charged towards me in an instant. I'd only ever heard of frogs eating flies, but when did snakes start eating flies too?

"Go get it!" Seeing this critical moment, thankfully the snake had already reached my ambush position.

When I shouted, the snake was clearly startled. Its animal instincts told it that it was in danger. It was this instinct that saved my life and its own.

In that instant of hesitation, a swarm of flies rushed toward the snake. One moment it was a snake, but the next it was surrounded by thousands upon thousands of flies, and the flies surrounding the snake were holding sharp objects.

The snake was now writhing wildly on the ground, trying to roll around and escape the fly's attack, but this time we were prepared, how could we let the snake escape so easily?

So some flies were shaken off, and then a large number of flies rushed over, and slowly bright red blood began to flow out. My method of trapping there worked, and at least today it is really possible to deal with that snake here.

However, I still underestimate the instincts of animals. When animals suffer fatal injuries, geckos can detach their tails to escape, and mice can bite off their own forelimbs to escape, not to mention what snakes might do to survive.

The snake probably knew that if it didn't fight desperately, it might really be doomed, so it charged frantically toward the withered vines on the side.

The withered vines were covered with barbs, and under normal circumstances, no animal, let alone a snake, would go inside.

But today the snake was in its most critical state, it was a matter of life and death, so the snake rushed in without hesitation. Instantly, a large number of flies were stung by the thorns on the bitter vine, and then hung on the thorns and died.

This method was indeed effective, killing a large number of flies instantly, while the flies that followed had no chance to attack.

However, the snake was also in a bad way. Its already wounded body was now covered in blood, with many barbs embedded in its body.

Without the slightest hesitation, the snake darted into the dark grove and vanished in an instant.

That's why they say that it's only when facing death that one's inner power explodes. This is the best proof.

Seeing the snake escape severely wounded, the flies were filled with joy and began to swarm down the ravine, knowing another battle awaited them.

The flies on the bitter vine were like works of art, swaying in the wind on the thorns of the withered vine.

Perhaps the animal kingdom is just that cruel; the deaths of friends around us are all too common, so we've become accustomed to it.

The war was still ongoing, and I had stopped helping, because I knew that once the snake was gone, victory would essentially be on our side.

It was only a matter of time before the battle ended. Sure enough, a short while later, a large number of flies took flight and disappeared into the darkness.

It seemed the battle was over, so I quickly flew towards the ravine.

The ground was littered with the corpses and remains of flies. Because fly blood is not red, it didn't look as bloody, but war is always cruel and brutal.

Just as I was feeling sad, the old imperial advisor came over and said, "Now you can go find your friend. We need to put the late emperor's head back in its place."

It was only then that I remembered that Dafu and Xue Tu were waiting for me. I was so caught up in my emotions and sadness that I forgot about this.

"Okay, I'll go right away. They're nearby." I said to the old national advisor and then flew off to the side.

When I flew to the place where the snow rabbit and the others had been hiding, I found nothing there except a bloodstain.

My heart sank instantly. No way? What happened to Yukito and the others?

"Twenty-two cents." Just when I was very worried, a voice with a sobbing tone suddenly shouted from not far behind me.

That wasn't anyone else's voice; it was Snow Rabbit's. Snow Rabbit is alright, that's wonderful! I quickly looked towards the source of the sound, and what I saw nearly made me fall to the ground in fright.

The snake had coiled itself around the snow rabbit, its mouth positioned right at the rabbit's neck. One bite from the snake, and the snow rabbit would be dead.

"How did you get here?" I was incredibly surprised. I thought the snake had escaped, but I never expected it to come back.

"How did I get here? My target is this snow rabbit. How did I end up here?" The snake's eyes gleamed with venom.

"What do you want?" I asked anxiously.

"What do I want? What do you think I want?" the snake cried out with unparalleled resentment.

"Release that snow rabbit right now, or I'll make you wish you were never born!" I shouted viciously.

Just then, a large number of flies flew over, probably because they saw that I hadn't returned for so long and came looking for me.

The appearance of the snake clearly caught the flies off guard. After a moment of stunned silence, the flies began searching the ground for something suitable to fight. It seems my previous training wasn't in vain; they've gained experience now.

"You're surrounded now. Release the snow rabbit, and I promise to spare your life," I said anxiously.

"Release him? If I release her, then all my efforts will have been in vain?" The snake now seemed to have no intention of escaping at all, as if it had made up its mind.

"Then what do you want?" I asked anxiously.

"How about it? It's simple, eat her, but..." The snake stopped abruptly halfway through its sentence.

I know this, but it means there's still a chance. I just don't know what kind of chance this guy might have.

"But what? Tell me."

"But if you're willing to trade your life for her, then I'll consider letting her go," the snake said coldly.

"No, this is not allowed!" Before I could speak, the snow rabbit cried out anxiously.
