Chapter 980

Shannon popped a mushroom into her mouth and sighed, saying, "It's a pity we can't light a fire."

As soon as she said that, Dazaray suddenly cried out, startling the rest of us. After looking over and

seeing nothing, we were all a little puzzled.

"What’s wrong?” Shannon was a little annoyed by her and asked with a frown, "You got an epiphany

from God?"

Dazaray’s face was pale. Looking at the tree beside her, she said in a trembling voice, "There's a

snake."

Everyone looked at the tree beside her and saw a tiny green snake about 23 inches long. It was

coiling around the dark green leaves. If one had not looked carefully, one might not even notice it

was there.

Seeing that we had noticed it, the green snake flicked its tongue out, looking like it was prepared to

attack u s.

"Don't panic, guys. Don't move," Thaddea said with a ghastly pale complexion, "This snake is

poisonous. It’ll be over for you if it bites you."

Shannon approached me and clutched me tightly out o f panic and fear. "What should we do? I'm

most afraid o f snakes. I get goosebumps just seeing it."

I had no way of comforting her because I was afraid of snakes too. Besides, this snake was highly

poisonous.

Shannon shifted her feet carefully, asking in a trembling voice, "Is it too late if we run now?”

"It's too late!" Thaddea grabbed hold of Shannon’s arm, preventing her from taking one more step.

"This snake moves really fast. You can’t dodge it at all."

"What should we do, then?” Nina was already crying out of fear. "We can't just keep wasting our

time with i t, can we?"

Thaddea gritted her teeth and sternly said, "We can only figure out a way to kill it.”

Dazaray was nearest to the snake, so she would be the first to be attacked if the snake was

startled.

Hearing that Thaddea intended to kill the snake, she was seized with great terror. "Don’t anger it. I'll

die."

"What are you afraid of?” Shannon looked at her with a face full of mockery. "You're always praying.

Your God will protect you."

In a grave situation like this, Dazaray merely listened t o her ridicule and was not in the mood to talk

back at all.

Thaddea looked at Dazaray and said, "I'll count to three. Get ready to dodge. I'll throw a rock and

see if I can hit it." "Huh?" Dazaray was dumbfounded. "The probability of smashing it with a rock is

too low. I’ll die if you can’t hit it.”

"Do you have better ideas, then?" Thaddea asked.

Dazaray’s complexion was pale. After thinking for a very long time, she shook her head.

"We can only take our chances now.” Thaddea slowly bent down to pick up a rock from the ground.

Dazaray looked like she was about to faint, but there was no other choice at the moment. We could

only take our chances. After all, we could not remain in a stalemate with this snake forever.

Thaddea finished counting and shouted sternly, "Run!”

Dazaray reacted quick enough as she started running a s soon as Thaddea’s voice fell. The rock in

Thaddea's hand was hurled over as well.

However, the snake was still much quicker than humans. It not only dodged the rock but it was also

preparing to launch an attack at Dazaray, who was closest to it.

When it started launching an attack, it looked so much more terrifying than when it was not moving.

There was instantly a series of screams ringing out in my ears.

Seeing that the snake was about to land on Dazaray, I grabbed a branch that I had set my eyes on

earlier and stabbed the sharpest end at the snake.

After stabbing it, I quickly hurled the branch together with the snake far away.
