Chapter 125
"Old Hu, what the hell is happening here?"
Looking at the swarm of snakes on the ground, separated by flames and confronting him, Ye Tian asked.
Pig Hu’s voice trembled slightly, but his mood was still okay, "Ye Tian, you better be ready, the scene coming up is something I reckon you’ve never seen in your lifetime."
Under the light of the fire ahead, one could faintly see that the group of snakes had begun to grow restless. Large and small snakes twisted in place, but they didn’t advance further; it seems like snakes, just like people, know fear.
"Almost time, Old Hu, let’s do it. Gather these snakes into the trash can and throw them away."
Just as Ye Tian was about to move forward, he was stopped by Pig Hu.
"What’s wrong?"
Pig Hu pursed his lips, "Look."
The charge before a battle is always initiated by the one standing in front. Suddenly, the large Big Golden Snake at the very front stood upright, its entire front half rearing up like an enraged cobra. Seeing this, the other snakes followed suit, and in an instant, a large swath of snakes with their bodies raised swept over, not charging at people, but at the bonfire. The first snake, with a "smack!" sound, slammed itself down hard, once, twice, showering sparks, breaking some burned-through branches, until it was burned alive and the leading Big Golden Snake finally stopped. It wasn’t over yet; the snakes behind it also crowded forward, one by one, two by two, three by three... All the snakes went mad, throwing themselves into the fire, even if it meant being burned to death, even if it meant turning into another pile of charred flesh, with not a single snake backing away or crawling elsewhere, all pressing on until death in battle.
Ye Tian watched with a heart pounding, the air filled with the smell of charred flesh. Smelling this bloody scent and looking at the bodies of the snakes in front of him resembling blackened sticks, a feeling of nausea surged from his stomach, but he ultimately suppressed it.
