Chapter 123: Stuck

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After being chased by the snakes for days and nights, Bai Xi and the others mental state was in danger.

Xixi, are you sure this is the right route? Zhao Yuan could not help but cast a suspicious look at Bai Xi. You were also the one who led the way at the snow mountain, but we still came down from the mountain in the end.

Bai Xi was sitting under a big tree and rubbing her legs. She frowned when she heard this, her eyes red. Mom, what do you mean? Dont you trust me?

Li Yan did not defend Bai Xi this time. Xiao Xi, aunty probably just wants to know when we can find Fang Rong and the others.

Im not sure. Bai Xis ankle had been bitten by a large python. Her eyes were

sore, and she sobbed, I also want to find Aunt Fang as soon as possible. Im also very anxious with everyone being chased by the pythons like this.

Alright. Aunt Zhao, please dont blame Xixi-jiejie.

The dark circles under Song Yuns eyes were particularly thick. He put down the firewood and said, If we really cant find her, we wont look for her anymore. Well just go straight to the finish line. Weve already endured so many days, anyway. We can finish this one last part.

Li Yan sneered, Youre quite optimistic. How longs it been since weve had a good nights sleep? The night before yesterday when I asked you to stand guard, you were so tired that you fell asleep even while standing. If I havent found out, we might have been swallowed by the pythons that sneaked up on us!

Then what good idea do you have? Song Yun retorted with a red face.

Why should I think of a way? Why dont you do it?

Song Yun was about to die from anger, but he still tried to calm the dispute. Li Yan! I dont want to fight with you!

Hah, coward.

Song Yuns eyes turned cold. He picked up the knife that was already a little blunt and walked toward Li Yan.

What did you just say?

Bai Xis muscles were exhausted and she did not have the energy to comfort these two people. She just looked on coldly.

It was good that they were fighting with each other. She was the one who had been calming the fights all the way, and she was tired.

What are you all doing? Put down the knife!

Bai Shao, who had gone out to look for food, came back to see such a tense scene. He shouted, I found a card! There might be some clue on it!

After hearing Bai Shaos words, the tense atmosphere immediately eased up. Li Yan and Song Yun gladed at each other and then at Bai Shao. What is it?

Bai Shao showed the blue card in his hand and read aloud, Mission card: Capture three pythons. Complete the submission and you will receive a random reward.

Bai Xi also could not hold back her excitement. Were saved!

The reward for completing such a mission card was usually great. She once saw Bai Lin complete a mission and she was given access to the safe house for three days. There was enough food inside, but Bai Lin did not want it. She returned it and exchanged it for other resources.

They could also exchange whatever they got for a way to get rid of the pythons pursuit!

This should have been good news, but no one else showed any joy on their faces.

The female snake that Bai Shao and Song Yun had killed earlier was already the thinnest one. The ones that had attacked them these past few days were all over 20 meters long. Their skin was thick, and they could only run away meeting the snakes.

Thus, this mission might be possible to complete, but they would have to pay a huge price.

Thinking of those pythons whose mouths were bigger than their heads, they all s.h.i.+vered and fell silent.

They were stuck.

Regardless of whether they completed the mission or not, they would have to bear the risk of being eaten by the snakes.

Song Yun, who was the youngest among them, began to cry in despair. Boohoo, Im sorry, Xixi-jiejie. Im so useless and cant help us solve our problem. Im really afraid of snakes. I cant face them.

Bai Xi was impatient. She hated it when men cried.

Its alright, Xiao Yun. Youre a very brave person. Think about how you protected me and everyone on the first day. Youve only been frightened these few days. Once you calm down, youll definitely be able to do it.

Song Yun sobbed, 1 cant do it.

The corner of Bai Xis eyes twitched, and she almost could not maintain her smile. Her tone was a little stiff. You can definitely do it, keep it up. If youre always like this, Im going to ignore you, she continued after a pause.

Feeling that Bai Xi was about to get angry, Song Yun stopped crying and consoled Bai Xi instead. Jiejie, dont be angry. Let me calm down and then Ill complete the mission.

[Wow, this Bai Xi really doesnt care about other peoples lives. Doesnt this mean that shell let others complete the task and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of others labor? I can see her plan all the way from home..]
