Chapter 269: Chapter 268, Danger_1
Ji Nuan, who was focused on observing Xiu Yan and the beasts, did not notice the faint rustling sound coming from behind her, which was gradually growing louder and closer.
After leading the large beast to a secluded location, Xiu Yan’s friends, Ying Yan and his brothers, rushed forward together. They swiftly subdued the gigantic beast, placed it on their shoulders, and flew off into the sky.
"Nuannuan! Watch your back!" As Xiu Yan turned his glance toward Ji Nuan, what he saw frightened him, causing a cold sweat to break out instantaneously on his back. As he swiftly fluttered his wings toward Ji Nuan, he cried out to her in alarm.
Ji Nuan was only aware of the odd presence behind her when Xiu Yan alerted her. She felt as if a chilly entity was gazing at her, sending shivers down her spine and making the faint rustling sound more apparent. She could not ignore it any longer.
Ji Nuan cautiously moved her body behind a tree trunk, quickly hiding behind it while turning to look at the direction from where the sound was coming.
The source of the sound was in Ji Nuan’s line of sight, a giant black python-like beast.
The python’s deep red eyes gazed at Ji Nuan with a bone-chilling stare. The hissing sound that it made while flicking its forked tongue was causing beans of sweat to appear on her skin. She wondered why she always ended up encountering these types of creepy, squishy creatures.
(Ya Li: Is she talking about me?)
Seeing that Ji Nuan had already discovered it, the python no longer moved stealthily. It swiftly coiled its body and slithered towards Ji Nuan. Watching the python get closer and closer, Ji Nuan felt a wave of panic.
What an enormous creature it was! Its head was twice as large as hers! It could swallow her in an instant!
Looking at Xiu Yan who still quite far away from her, Ji Nuan realised she was doomed.
"Hisss~" By the time Ji Nuan turned her head, the giant python had already reached the tree where she was hiding and stood erect. It looked like it was preparing to attack.
Ji Nuan’s legs went weak, and her hands went numb. She fell from the tall tree. While falling, Ji Nuan heard Xiu Yan’s frantic and mournful shout.
She could see the python still slithering down the tree and feel the breeze brushing past her ears as she fell.
She hadn’t thought that her life in Beast World would end like this. Ji Nuan slowly closed her eyes.
Good riddance. Rather than being eaten by this disgusting python, she’d be better off dying from the fall.
The commotion had caught the attention of Beast Group in the distance, who began to gather around.
As Ji Nuan braced herself for the end, she felt the Beast Skin garments being pulled strongly upward at the last second before hitting the ground.
"Ji Nuan, are you alright!" a familiar voice sounded in her ears. Ji Nuan immediately opened her eyes.
"Ying Da?" Ji Nuan was incredibly surprised. Was this familiar orc not Ying Da of the Dashi Tribe, who was captured and brought back by Xiu Yan last time?
Ji Nuan, being hung in the air holding onto her best skin garment by Ying Da, looked like a helpless little chick that was about to be butchered.
"Ying Da, why are you here?" Little chick Ji Nuan looked up at the orc, asking.
Feeling quite embarrassed, Ying Da scratched his head, "Didn’t I see Xiu Yan and the others bringing back a large beast last time? So, I thought, I am an orc. I might not be able to catch a big beast, but I could look for an opportunity to catch a smaller one. I didn’t expect to find you falling from a tree as soon as I found a small one, so I just..."
