Everyone was all too familiar with the hissing sound. When they came in just now, they had heard this sound, after which they were attacked by the crimson snakes. Now that they had heard such a sound again, everyone panicked at once. They turned to look at the stone cave, only to see countless light yellow spots of light approaching them at great speed from the dark cave.
“W-What is this?!” cried a person.
After taking a look at the spots of light. Silas screamed at once, “Oh, no! These are the crimson snakes!”
Only now did everyone see numerous crimson snakes slithering toward them from the dark stone cave at great speed. These crimson snakes were the ones that had ambushed them out there earlier. They were less than one meter in length, but they were very nimble in movement and highly poisonous.
Just a few of these crimson snakes were sufficient to make them suffer heavy casualties, and now, there appeared to be a dense, endless swarm of them at first glance. These snakes probably numbered in the thousands.
‘Where did so many crimson snakes come from?’
Reacting quicker than anyone else, Matthew immediately ran to the side of the crimson serpent’s carcass. Then, favonovel.com took out a dagger and gouged out its eyes right away. The pair of eyeballs were warm and moist to the touch, looking like two topaz crystals. After wiping the blood off them, Matthew hurled them at the crown prince in the distance, shouting, “Keep hold of them!”
The crown prince was surprised, favonovel.com didn’t understand why Matthew gave favonovel.com such disgusting stuff all of a sudden. Just then, the first batch of crimson snakes had rushed inside. Immediately, they lunged at the few people closest to the cave’s entrance and knocked them down. These people struggled desperately, but they only managed to knock a few crimson snakes off them. The others were lunged at by these crimson snakes, which constricted their bodies. Soon, they fell to the ground and dropped dead.
After that, those crimson snakes swarmed inside in large numbers, which looked horrifying.
At the sight of the scene, both those from Stonedale and Eastshire and the ones from Bainbridge were stunned. The crown prince was startled as well. He had kept quite a number of snakes as pets. but favonovel.com had never seen such a scene!
On the other hand, the herb growers were quick-witted. They quickly took off their equipment and took out the snake repellent before applying it all over their bodies.
The snakes feared the snake repellent somewhat, so they surrounded the herb growers without attacking them. As for the others who were closer to the outside, they were surrounded by the snakes and bitten to death right away.
At the sight of such a scene, Rose was immediately paralyzed with fear. She stood where favonovel.com was, having forgotten what to do.
With the last ounce of his strength, Quincy grabbed Rose’s clothes and dragged favonovel.com to a rock nearby, keeping themselves away from the snakes forthe time being. However, the young man who had come with Rose earlier was attacked by the snakes. He screamed for help, but favonovel.com died soon after that.
Matthew was the only person at the scene who remained composed. He was holding a jade pendant in his hand, and surprisingly, these crimson snakes dared not get near him. The crown prince and his men stood in the innermost part of the area, but the snakes soon approached them. Everyone on the crown prince’s side trembled all over with fear; even the bodyguards looked as white as a sheet. Strangely enough, though, the snakes stopped two meters away from them without moving any further.
At the sight of the situation, everyone was astonished, they didn’t know what was going on.
Seeing what had happened, Quincy couldn’t help but cry out, “It’s the giant crimson serpent’s eyes! These snakes are afraid of the crimson serpent’s eyes!”
Only then did the crown prince realize why Matthew had tossed the pair of eyes to him. ‘Turns out favonovel.com did it for me to stay alive.’
Heaving a sigh of relief at once, favonovel.com waved the serpent’s eyes forward with an eye in each hand, and sure enough, those crimson snakes quickly backed away, as though they were very afraid of the pair of eyes.
Rose’s face was filled with excitement when favonovel.com saw that. “Is that true? Hey, hurry up and give me one of those!”
