Ming An Xian in trouble

"Common let's go!" Yu Long called to him again, An Xian looked around once more but saw nothing so he hurriedly followed the others.

On their way back, Ming An Xian kept looking at the wristlet, although it was made of wood carved into beads, the craftsmanship was superb

But that wasn't what caught his attention, The most surprising thing about the wristlet was that the beads had no holes in them, which meant that there was no line or thread binding the beads together, This made An Xian turn the beads at all angles trying to see what was holding them together, but he found nothing.

The size of the wristlet was that of an adult man's wrist, about two times bigger than his small and malnourished hand, Out of curiosity he tried it on, Ming An Xian put the wristlet on his wrist, and the old beads mysteriously began to shape themselves into smaller sizes and shrink to fit An Xian's small wrist perfectly.

An Xian looked at the wristlet in astonishment, he looked at the others wondering if anyone was seeing the magic as well, but Yu Long and the rest weren't looking behind, They were focused on reaching their destination while having small discussions as they walked forward.

A Xian picked up pace, wanting to catch up and show them his discovery, just as he was about to call out to them, he heard Xin Tian Shi who was leading them scream and start running back toward them.

"Run, run," she kept shouting, Yu Long and Xin Yao immediately ran back without even knowing what was wrong. An Xian did not run immediately but scanned the place with his eyes trying to locate the danger, Soon enough his body trembled, and the fear that gripped him caused goosebumps all over his body, and his heart beat rapidly. Behind Xin Tianshi was a group of desert Mambas chasing her, At least the Snakes were fifty in number, The snakes were two to three meters long, An Xian had seen a lot of children die from those snakes' bites so he became alarmed when he saw the snakes getting too close to Xin Tian Shi.

Ming An Xian pulled the wooden spear that was hanging on his back, Holding it firmly he took off, but instead of running away from danger, he was running right into it.

"What are you doing!!" Xin Tianshi cried out when she saw him running towards her instead of running away.

"Go!" An Xian shouted back when he ran passed her.

Reaching in front of the group of Snakes An Xian used the wooden spear and swept the snakes horizontally to be left with all the force he could muster, flinging about five of them away.

Mambas are known to be vengeful snakes, Instead of running away they all ran toward Ming An Xian and soon began a fierce fight between a teenage boy and a group of venomous snakes.

An Xian moved backward, The snakes were too many so he tried to fight them while keeping his distance.

He jumped to the right and smacked the ground vertically with his wooden spear hitting two to three of the snakes, rendering them immobile, he continued the process about two more times, and The snakes began to bury themselves on the ground moving toward him from under the ground, his style became useless, he tried to use the wooden spearhead to pierce the snakes from the ground, but that was useless as well, The snakes were too many, and trying to kill them one by one was a suicide mission so he readied himself to run away.

Just as he was about to take off, about twenty of the snakes jumped out of the sand simultaneously, An Xian flung his spear at them hitting as much as he could but Before he was done with them another set had arrived at his legs, An Xian kicked his right leg forward but felt a stinging pain in his left leg, and he immediately knew he was in trouble, Those snake bites had killed many of his friends and he was about to join them, he used all his strength to hit the snake on his leg and started running, matching the snakes as he passed through.

The vengeful snakes continued chasing him, A Xian ran for a few seconds before his left leg became numb, he tried to move again but lost balance and fell to the ground.

It is finished, so this is how I'm going to die.

The Snakes were closing in on him, lying on the ground An Xian tried to stand up but the snake venom was beginning to spray from his leg upward. At that moment another wooden spear a bit longer than the one An Xian was holding landed horizontally at the group of snakes that we're closest to An Xian.

Yu Long had ran for a while before looking back to know what was chasing them, looking back he saw Xin Yao and Xin Tianshi following behind him, Xin Yao was the closest to him while Xin Tianshi was a few meters away, but Where is Ming An Xing, An Xian was supposed to be in front of them all because he was right behind them before they started running. Yu Long suddenly stopped running, he saw a small figure jumping from left to right and right to left flinging the stick he was holding in all directions.

"What is he doing?" he was confused.

"He is probably fighting with those snakes," Xin Tianshi who had just stopped running next to him answered while trying to catch her breath, She placed her palms on both knees bending from her waist and breathing heavily.

"What? Snakes?" Yu Long asked in fright, Snakes had been one of the most dangerous creatures in the wasteland so the children had been warned severely to run away immediately after they see one.

"This boy is truly Mad, Stay here and don't come closer" he warned the girls, Pulling his wooden spear from his back he started running back.

When Yu Long was almost close, Ming An Xian ran forward right into the group of snakes,

What is he doing?

Yu Long stopped running for a few seconds but when he saw An Xian falling to the ground he immediately increased his speed, Upon reaching there he saw that An Xian was trying hard to stand again but he couldn't.

The first wave of desert mambas rushed toward An Xian, and without any delay, Yu Long smashed them With his spear rendering them immobile, he hurried to An Xian's side trying to lift him but his actions were too slow Another wave of mambas arrived in front of them again.

At that point, Yu Long's mind went blank, no idea came to his mind, no solution no matter how hard he tried to think there was no result.

What should I do now, I have said once that one day we will all die because of this boy's recklessness.

Just when Yu Long thought that all hope was gone a miracle happened, On An Xing's Left hand a little head popped out of nowhere Yu Long only saw a head that looked like that of a kitten, The little creature looked at the Snakes angrily as if they were disturbing his sleep, It opened its little mouth and roared at the Snakes with all its strength, a massive amount of air folding itself in layers and heading straight for the snakes, all the snakes that came in contact with air sustained serious injuries, some even got their heads sliced off. The rest of the snakes ran away in fear.

Yu Long was bemused, his mouth hung open, and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Just as if it noticed someone was looking at it, The little creature looked at Yu Long, and as if Frightened it disappeared back to where it came from.

Where had it gone to, I'm very sure I saw it here, or am I dreaming but if it is a dream then what about the dead snakes on the ground and The rest that ran away?

Yu Long searched around but the little kitten was nowhere to be found, dropping the matter to the side An Xian's life was more important so he hurriedly carried him on his back and left the place.

When Yu Long returned to Xin Yao and Xin Tianshi the two girls were already crying. Snakebite was the most dangerous thing in this wasteland if one was being bitten his faith was already decided especially the fact that they didn't have an antidote for the Venom.

It was almost getting dark and in no way would they carry An Xian back and forth it would only worsen his situation.

"Let's return to the bird and wait for the rest," Yu Long said, and they headed back to the Death Crane.

A few moments later the rest of the group arrived, They were all wearing a gloomy expression.

Yu Long was hoping that the group will be very happy seeing such a big bird, he was sure that the bird will feed them for a month if not more. But contrary to his expectations, they were rather sad. It was understandable that Xin Yao and Xin Tianshi weren't happy, that was because of An Xian situation, but this group of people don't even know of An Xian situation yet so why do they look so gloomy.
