Chapter 68 Burning Percy Yarrow To Death

 

Amber nodded solemnly. She followed Jonathan’s instructions and took out her gun, loaded the ammunition, and released the safety catch.

 

After the two of them put on their gas masks, Jonathan led the way, carrying the equipment such as climbing ropes and combat knives that were consigned to Amber through her connections.

With Amber following closely behind Jonathan, they quickly went around the man-made lake and arrived in front of the forest. The lush forest was enveloped in fog, while the ground was overrun with dew-covered weeds. Jonathan’s and Amber’s feet and pants were already wet.

It was at this point that fear paralyzed Amber. Although she was mentally prepared, her terror mounted with every step when she saw the venomous snakes that were densely coiled up beneath her.

 

Wearing a gas mask had made it difficult for her to speak. Thus, her screams were muffled. Jonathan, on the other hand, was very calm. He hummed a tune in accordance with the Snake Repelling Technique taught by Felicia.

 

The tune was like a serenade sung on a moonlit night. It had a soothing and relaxing, yet bewitching power.

The mystical snakes were quite intelligent. Back then, the founder of the Crimson Onyx Sect, Percy Yarrow, had trained these snakes using the same serenade.

 

Unsurprisingly, after Jonathan hummed the serenade, the snakes in the forest spread to both sides like receding tides.

Seeing that the serenade had worked, Jonathan and Amber let out a breath of relief. Straight after, the two went deeper into the forest.

Forest is the favorite habitat of snakes. It’s a paradise for the reptiles. Jonathan and Amber continued to head forward without turning any lights on. Merely relying on the moonlight, they watched the snakes rustle in the bushes. Observing the snakes at a close distance was a ghastly experience.

 

The sound of the snakes slithering was extremely unpleasant.

Halfway through, Jonathan realized that something was wrong. Hence, he stopped moving forward.

“What’s wrong?” Amber murmured instantly. She was able to speak softly even with the gas mask on.

Jonathan lowered his voice and said, “Something’s not right.”

“What isn’t right?”

“These are snakes separating and making way for us in a meandering manner. The path that they’re opening up for us is like a winding road, but we’re planning to go straight ahead. If they’re guided by my Snake Repelling Technique, why is the path in such a shape?”

Amber was momentarily stunned. But thinking that Jonathan was overreacting, she breathed, “These snakes are animals, after all. They’re not real human beings. You can’t just blame them for not opening up a straight path.”

Suddenly, Jonathan discovered something with his keen senses. He noticed that the snakes were oozing with hostility when Amber said that they were only animals.

Jonathan could feel shivers up his spine. I can’t believe that the snakes are so smart that they can even understand human language.

 

“It’s not simple as you think,” Jonathan said in a serious tone. “Amber, I think these snakes are trying to lead us somewhere, and that place is likely an ambush. Something dangerous is waiting for us.”
