The Price of Underestimating It! (Thanks amp;=amp;)

Xu Feng looked out at the dense carpet of dead snakes.

To be honest, the thought of going among them made his skin crawl.

It wasn't that Xu Feng feared a ghost was hiding in there.

He was more worried that some of those snakes weren't quite dead and would bite him the moment he stepped inside!

Give it enough time, though, and that
