"Hiss~"

The giant snake let out a hiss, as if it was in pain, crazily flicking its tongue. A layer of coldness filled those not-so-big snake eyes!

But after being knocked back, the giant snake didn’t give up. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spat out a splash of pitch-black liquid!

"Oh no!"

Lin Fan was shocked. He quickly held Su Yanyu in his arms, pressing her head against his chest, and rolled off the bed!

The splash of black liquid landed on the blanket, and the spot tainted by the black venom immediately began to corrode!

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but gasp!

If that spray of black venom had splattered on him, one could imagine the consequences!

At this moment, Su Yanyu also noticed the terrifying black snake on the bed and immediately shouted, "There’s a gun in the nightstand!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate. He pulled open the nightstand drawer, took out the handgun, and without aiming, relied on his years of experience with firearms. He waved his hand, and his finger instantly pulled the trigger!

"Bang~"

The ear-piercing gunshot rang out!

The bullet shot out, catching the black snake off-guard. The bullet mercilessly pierced through its body, splattering droplets of black blood, and wherever this black blood landed, it immediately began to corrode!

"Hiss~"

The black snake hissed!

To Lin Fan’s astonishment, after being shot, the snake did not die!

"Toot toot toot~"

Just then, a flute sound came from outside the room!

Upon hearing the flute, the black snake seemed to receive a command and immediately turned to escape outside the room!

"Trying to escape? No way!"

Lin Fan’s expression was icy as he quickly fired five more shots!

Although the black snake fled as fast as lightning, dodging four bullets, the fifth bullet once again pierced through its body, splattering black blood everywhere!

"Damn, it still managed to escape," Lin Fan muttered through gritted teeth.

He then immediately looked at Su Yanyu in his arms, seeing her face filled with panic. He asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Su Yanyu quickly shook her head, though her face still showed some tension.

Lin Fan handed the handgun to Su Yanyu, saying, "Take the gun and be careful. If anything happens, just shout, and I will come back immediately!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan wrapped a bath towel around his lower body, drew out the Soft Sword, and nimbly leaped off the bed!

Outside, it was pitch black. Only faint light barely illuminated the path ahead, allowing silhouettes to be seen!

The cold wind swept the ground, and with just a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, the chill seeped through Lin Fan!

However, Lin Fan’s attention was not on whether he felt cold. His ears tingled slightly, listening to all unusual sounds around him!

Soon, a strange noise came from the left side, and without hesitation, Lin Fan quickly rushed in that direction!

Not long after, Lin Fan discovered the black snake, coiled under a tree. Upon seeing Lin Fan, it furiously flicked its tongue, hissing "hiss hiss hiss"!

Lin Fan didn’t act recklessly but carefully scanned the surroundings and shouted, "No need to hide, come out!"

"Heh! As expected of someone from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, I indeed underestimated you!"

A cold laugh sounded, and a red silhouette appeared in front of Chu Lingtian!

The woman was actually twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but due to her status and living environment, she had been pampered since childhood. Her mind-set was only around that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, daring to love and hate, bold and decisive!

She wore her hair in two ponytails, with a fair complexion and smooth skin. If disregarding her status, she was simply an adorable little loli everyone adored!

"Are you of the Miao Race?"

Lin Fan glanced at the black snake, and an answer immediately formed in his mind!

In this world, the only people who can control venomous snakes are the Miao People!

"That’s right, I am the Miao Princess, Miao Qiaomei!" The ponytailed girl slightly lifted her chin, speaking with pride.

"Miao Princess?"

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback!

Although he didn’t know much about the Miao Race, the Miao Princess was the highest symbol of nobility within the Miao Race. The Miao Race doesn’t have a queen; everything follows the commands of the princess!

And to become the Miao Princess, the conditions are exceptionally strict, and so are the strengths required!

"Miss Miao, we have no grievances or enmity, why are you looking for me?" Lin Fan asked, perplexed.

"How is there no grievance or enmity? You killed our Saintess; I will use your blood to honor her spirit from heaven!" Miao Qiaomei said coldly.

"The Miao Saintess?"

Lin Fan took a moment to recall and suddenly remembered his earlier collaboration with Zheng Longyun, framing Su Yanyu along with that Miao woman.

This was the only other Miao woman Lin Fan had seen besides Miao Qiaomei!

"Please, Miss Miao, your Saintess wasn’t killed by me; it was one of my enemies who did it. But rest assured, I’ve already killed the one who killed your Saintess. You don’t need to thank me; it was the least I could do," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"You say it wasn’t you, and it’s not you? Hmph! I wouldn’t believe that for a second. Today, I’m going to kill you to avenge our Saintess!"

Miao Qiaomei spoke angrily, pulling out a flute and lightly blowing it, producing a series of "toot toot toot" notes. Unlike melodious tunes, it was disorganized, leaving one’s mind in chaos!

"It’s the Miao flute sound. This melody can disrupt a person’s mind. If someone’s mental state is not firm, they might even lose control over their own body and potentially kill themselves!"

Lin Fan wore a serious expression, intensely focusing on Miao Qiaomei, not daring to let his mind wander, preventing himself from falling under the flute’s spell! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Hiss hiss!"

Amid two piercing shrieks, two more black snakes crawled out from the forest.

The three black snakes coiled in front of Chu Lingtian, raising their heads, tongues flicking incessantly, sending chills down everyone’s spine!

"Toot..."

Suddenly, Miao Qiaomei blew a long note on the flute!

The three black snakes let out frantic hisses as if going berserk, their tongues flicking more fiercely. They sped towards Lin Fan!

Before the three black snakes came close, they opened their mouths to spit out black liquid!

These black snakes had been specially raised and lived in various venoms since they were young. Upon growing up, the venom they could spit was terrifying!

The three streams of black venom from the snakes landed on the ground, turning the soil black. The plants withered and rotted instantly!

"The Miao Race excels in poison and gu. These creatures can kill silently, truly a force that even super-strong warriors fear!"

Lin Fan spoke with a grave tone, daring not to hesitate, as Powerful Qi surged into the Soft Sword. His hand tightly gripped it, eyes fixed on the three charging black snakes, ready to strike lethal blows at any moment!
