Little Mamba Down, Big Mamba Arrives

"Old Li, hold it down!"

Uncle Huang let out a low roar. Uncle Li understood instantly and activated his Martial Soul. A Brown Bear appeared behind him as he swung a palm at the Mamba Snake.

At the same time, Uncle Huang activated his Martial Soul as well. It was a sword.

The Mamba Snake nimbly dodged Uncle Li's strike, but Uncle Huang's attack followed right behind it, his sword slashing fiercely toward its head.

However, the Mamba Snake was exceptionally agile. It twisted around, not only evading Uncle Huang's attack but also reaching his side, finding an opening to strike!

The Mamba Snake bit toward Uncle Huang's waist, but Uncle Huang sneered as if he had expected it. He spun around and slashed at it.

At the same time, Bai Yu summoned the Human Emperor Banner. A sacred aura surged into Uncle Huang's body, and Uncle Huang immediately felt himself strengthened in every aspect. Overjoyed, he slashed the Mamba Snake with his sword, drawing blood from its Snake Body.

The Mamba Snake howled in pain and pulled back, then suddenly charged toward Su Lin and Chen Mei!

The two had only just woken up and crawled out of the tent when they saw a black bolt of lightning rushing at them. Their faces went pale with terror, and they even forgot to defend themselves.

Fortunately, Uncle Li roared at that moment. The Brown Bear appeared before them and forcibly blocked the Mamba Snake with its arm.

"Ah!!"

Uncle Li screamed, flinging the snake off his arm. Uncle Huang rushed over and pierced its body with his sword, pinning it to the ground. Then he looked at Uncle Li with a deep frown.

"Old Li, you've been poisoned!"

Uncle Li looked at the wound oozing black blood, nodded heavily, and said to Su Lin and Chen Mei,

"This is a fifty-year Black Mamba Snake. Hurry up and absorb it so we can leave sooner."

After saying that, Uncle Li sat cross-legged and circulated his Soul Power to fight the poison.

Su Lin and Chen Mei's faces were pale. They had seen that Uncle Li had been injured protecting them.

"Uncle Li, you..."

However, just as they were about to express their concern, Uncle Huang barked,

"Quick! Absorb the Soul Ring and leave as soon as possible!"

The two jumped in fright. Chen Mei had no choice but to take out a dagger and walk tremblingly toward the still-struggling Mamba Snake. After hesitating for a long while, she finally shut her eyes and stabbed down at Uncle Huang's urging.

Soon, Chen Mei, still pale-faced, sat down and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Bai Yu glanced at Uncle Li. The Mamba Snake venom in the Soul Hunting Forest was potent, and Uncle Li was only level fifteen. Bai Yu did not know whether he could survive it.

Seeing that Uncle Li did not look well, Uncle Huang said in a grave voice,

"Old Li, can you hold on? Chen Mei will need at least one or two hours to absorb the Soul Ring. If you can't endure it, leave the forest on your own along the way we came. The guards will definitely have something to ease the poison. The Su Family will reimburse all costs."

Uncle Li did not try to be stubborn. He stood up with a pale face, bade Uncle Huang farewell, and headed out of the forest along the path they had taken in.

The journey was somewhat long, but it was better than wasting time here. Otherwise, if they waited for Chen Mei to finish absorbing the Soul Ring before heading back, Uncle Li might suffer a fatal poison outbreak and die on the way.

After Uncle Li left, Uncle Huang glanced at Bai Yu. Seeing him standing at a distance on guard, he sighed in relief.

This kid was experienced. He did not come over to watch the excitement but stayed on guard instead. Not bad. He had also seized the opportunity to support me at exactly the right time. He was probably one of the top students at Nuoding Academy. This money wasn't wasted.

Just as Uncle Huang thought that, a scream suddenly came from the distance!

Uncle Huang's expression changed.

"Old Li!"

The next moment, an even larger and longer Black Mamba Snake attacked from afar, Uncle Li's corpse dangling from its mouth!

"Oh no. Judging by its size, this snake is nearly two hundred years old. We beat up the young one, and the old one came?"

Bai Yu's expression changed as he looked at Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang looked back at him. Their eyes met, and they nodded to each other.

The next moment, Uncle Huang roared and unleashed his Second Soul Skill, temporarily blocking the Big Snake while Bai Yu grabbed Su Lin and Chen Mei and ran!

A two-hundred-year Soul Beast was absolutely beyond Uncle Huang's ability to defeat. Being able to delay it for even a moment was already fortunate, so Bai Yu decisively took Su Lin and Chen Mei and fled first.

However, Chen Mei's legs had gone weak from fright. She fell to the ground as soon as she started running, and Su Lin stopped as well to help her up.

Uncle Huang's Second Soul Skill was easily dispelled by the Big Snake, but fortunately, Uncle Huang was experienced. Rather than getting injured, he ran some distance in another direction, trying to lure the Big Snake away.

However, since the Big Snake had cultivated to the century level, it was clearly not stupid. For one meal, should it fight a Soul Grandmaster or sample a few weaklings? It reached the answer almost without thinking.

Seeing it pounce toward Su Lin and Chen Mei, Uncle Huang's pupils contracted.

"No!"

At that moment, Bai Yu came up with a good idea.

This was the perfect chance to test whether Tang Hao was here!

He secretly summoned Little Green, who bit toward the Big Snake.

Bai Yu's soul was bound to the Myriad Souls Banner. After refining Little Green, he could summon it without bringing out the Myriad Souls Banner, though it could not use skills and could only act on instinct.

It was in a soul-body state. Aside from Tang San's Purple Demon Eye and a very small number of particularly unusual powerhouses, no one could see Little Green—not even a Titled Douluo. Thus, Bai Yu was not afraid of Tang Hao discovering it.

Just as Little Green was about to bite the Big Snake, Bai Yu picked up several stones and threw them at it. One struck its eye socket perfectly.

At the same time, Little Green bit into the Big Snake's body. The pain from the Mental Plane drove the Big Snake insane, and it turned its head toward Bai Yu.

To anyone who could not see Little Green, Bai Yu had enraged the Big Snake by throwing stones. He was trying to lure it away!

Watching the Big Snake chase Bai Yu away, Su Lin instinctively cried out,

"Bai Yu!"

Bai Yu turned around and nodded at him and Chen Mei.

"The pastries were delicious. Thank you."

With that, Bai Yu sprinted away, and the Big Snake pursued him!

Uncle Huang quickly landed beside Su Lin and Chen Mei and said in a deep voice,

"Stop standing around. Hurry and go!"

The two came back to their senses and said in trembling voices,

"Uncle Huang, what about Bai Yu..."

Uncle Huang gritted his teeth and said,

"We can't save him. Hurry and go!"

[Plot: The Big Snake is chasing you. It is very fast.]

Bai Yu changed "fast" to "slow"!

The Big Snake's swift movements suddenly slowed. Bai Yu used the opportunity to open up a great distance, but he was only from the Support System, his body was not strong, and the gap between his Soul Power and the Big Snake's was too great. Once the Big Snake recovered, it caught up in merely seven or eight seconds.

[Plot: The Big Snake is preparing to open its mouth and bite your buttocks.]

Bai Yu changed "mouth" to "tail"!

For a moment, the Big Snake that had caught up suddenly had a thought: I should open my tail and bite the prey ahead to death.

It froze. How could a tail open?

That wasn't right. Why would I have such a thought?

It quickly came to its senses and chased after Bai Yu again.

Bai Yu felt the time had come. He made no further changes. As the Big Snake lunged at him, he jumped up, grabbed a vine hanging from a tree, and kicked off the trunk at the same time, dodging the Big Snake's attack in the pose of a leapfrog game.

However, the vine seemed unable to bear his weight. It snapped with a crack, Bai Yu fell to the ground, and the Big Snake turned its head and bit down!
