Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1448 - 1428: The Fearsome Serpent Tamers
"Still not coming out?" Tang Tianyi deliberately raised his voice a few notches, making his voice carry a bit further.
Upon hearing this, Qhianqhian’s eyes darted around, her mind suddenly becoming clearer, afraid of being ambushed by someone.
With a gloomy expression, she observed for a while before asking, "Is there really someone there?"
Tang Tianyi did not speak, still examining the surroundings. Yan and Mo indeed trusted Tang Tianyi very much. Seeing the three of them so serious, though Qhianqhian was somewhat reluctant, she thought about it and then said, "Even if there is someone, they probably wouldn’t dare to come out now, right? Afraid of facing many against few, they’re not even as brave as a girl like me."
As she spoke, her heart raced. Although she employed a provocative tactic, given that she spoke in a foreign language, the other side might not understand her intention.
But as long as the other side thinks even a little, they should know she’s provoking them.
Tang Tianyi, hearing this, glanced at Qhianqhian, unsure of what he was contemplating.
After a few seconds, he nodded, "True, with so many of us, maybe they are scared."
Even though Yan and the others had been learning lately, they were still at the stage of daily greetings, able to understand only a little of what was being said. However, on the surface, it didn’t show at all.
Even Qhianqhian couldn’t help but praise that some people have an inherent advantage. Even if they understand nothing, standing there ordinarily, people might mistake them as experts.
This might be the power of aura? The air around Huangfu Yihui and the Yann Yao Royal Family was indeed extraordinary. Of course, Yan and Mo also appeared impeccably composed.
She couldn’t help but imagine the other party appearing cowardly, silently leading this group of mobile ’ingredients’ away, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, unexpected to her, her laughter provoked the other party, causing a person entirely shrouded in a black cloak to step out slowly.
Everywhere the black cloak passed, the snakes obediently moved aside, giving way, their respectful demeanor made Qhianqhian momentarily think she was witnessing an ancient emperor touring, with civilians kneeling on streetsides.
The black cloak appeared before the five of them, its face completely covered, hidden beneath a large hood, only a pale and thin chin faintly visible.
Yet the hands, skeletal and void of any blood color, were fully exposed to everyone.
The person in the black cloak grasped a long, white bone scepter; its top adorned with a small skull, similar in size to a light bulb, with strange red and white eyes fitted in place, adding an eerie feel.
"Hissss..."
The other party spoke with a hoarse voice, seemingly one with damaged vocal cords, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"What did he say?" Qhianqhian looked puzzled. Although this person appeared somewhat intimidating, it was still better than facing countless generational serpents.
"I guess... he’s not talking to us." Huangfu Yihui swallowed hard, looking around, his voice trembling as he continued, "Seems like quite a few things around us are closing in."
If not for Qhianqhian’s torch, they wouldn’t have been able to see the terrifying scene around them.
At this point, they didn’t know whether to be grateful for the torch’s presence or lament it.
If they hadn’t seen it, would they have been this scared?
However, seeing it allowed them to avoid being ambushed, didn’t it?
Mo casually waved a hand behind him, continuing to scrutinize the strange figure in the black robe, feeling that the person’s control might be...
With a flick of a hand holding a branch, he pointed towards the black-robed figure.
Almost instantly, Qhianqhian was astounded to see the snakes surging from around them towards the black-robed person.
"???" Qhianqhian stayed silent, just gazing at Mo with big eyes, somewhat clueless.
Mo appeared quite pleased, "Wanna see them dance?"
Seeing Mo so enthusiastic, Qhianqhian swallowed back the words ’not at all’. Instead, she just smiled at him, neither saying she wanted to nor didn’t.
After all, this thing was already scary enough; there was no need to make it even scarier, right?
With a casual squeeze, Mo broke some obstructive leaves from the branch in his hands, cleared his throat, prepared a conductor’s posture, and gently nodded at Huangfu Yihui.
Huangfu Yihui, albeit puzzled, cooperated suitably and pulled out his flute.
As the flute’s melody arose, Qhianqhian, utterly desolate, watched as the snakes swayed to Mo’s movements, but they weren’t in rhythm, amusingly nonetheless.
"...&%&%" The black-robed person uttered something, but Mo ignored it; under such circumstances, if they weren’t commanding, they were obviously cursing.
He decidedly ignored both sounds, unwilling to hear them.
Qhianqhian, with shaking hands, pulled out her bow and arrow, casually picked a branch, and set it up.
At this moment, she couldn’t calm down to Condense Qi into Arrows.
As the arrow was shot, a familiar roar echoed; however, the anticipated earthquake-like tremor didn’t come, and the black-robed figure vanished with the gust of wind.
Tang Tianyi stomped the ground angrily, "Taken away!"
Qhianqhian was left staring in the direction of the wind, slightly furrowing her brow. Was it the person who took away Mrs. Jones?
But, why?
Seeing The Gate of Another World slowly closing again, and the dark mist clusters scrambling to leave as if fearing annihilation if they lingered.
Only the stranded Exotic Beast General without any flying capability remained, facing the now-closed gate, its cries were heart-wrenching and even somewhat sorrowful.
Qhianqhian felt puzzled, but looking at the nearby snakes seemingly stunned by the loud cries, she couldn’t help but wonder.
Do snakes have ears?
Evidently, they do.
In haste, the company left the slender and long things, afraid of being entangled again. Qhianqhian even unceremoniously threw some poison powder, scattering it around the snakes.
Watching the Exotic Beasts heart-wrenchingly shout toward the closing gate, Qhianqhian couldn’t help but find it strange, "We didn’t do anything this time, right? Why? They’re acting as though they’ve lost everything, and we haven’t even started yet."
Tang Tianyi stretched his body, "Though I don’t know what’s going on, it’s pretty clear, the gate closed, and they were left behind."
With that, he leisurely took out gloves, casually strolling towards the desperate and helpless creatures.
Before long, they turned into a pool of black water...
At a distance, in a standby aircraft, two persons observed a group of people along with two kangaroos bouncing back and forth in the backdrop, leaving them somewhat stunned.
This country’s animals are so numerous that they don’t even fear humans?
