When Zhong Ming walked closer to the spring, he saw a pool of clear water slowly flowing. This was also the reason why such a small spring was not dried up after all these years.

Zhong Ming looked at the flow of the water waves and suddenly found a trace of light in the spring water. Those with such abilities should be water attribute martial artists. They could borrow water to kill people without them noticing. He would submerge the poison in it at any time and place without feeling a thing.

Seeing that light, Zhong Ming was even more certain of his conjecture. That light was the traces of a Spiritual Energy that a water attributed warrior left behind after he tampered with the water. Fortunately, this person was only right to his mother. Strictly speaking, it was only to himself, so there was no need to make any changes to the water. However, the tiny spiritual energy of the Ancient Spring had already been destroyed by this person. The water here probably wouldn't be as beneficial to the body as it was in the past. It would probably just become ordinary water.

"Help, help!" Just then, a few people ran out from not too far away in a panic.

"This is bad! Someone has been bitten by a snake! " The man running in front was running with all his might, and the man running behind was shouting.

Snake? Where did these snakes end up being so powerful? Six or seven men were being chased down to the point where they couldn't even run for their lives.

Right at this moment, the few men were already not too far away from Zhong Ming. At this moment, Zhong Ming could clearly see that there was a five or six meter long snake following behind these people. The snake was pitch black, and its tongue flicked in and out of its mouth. The snake's long fangs had already opened their bloody mouths, giving chase to the men. As they watched, their saliva began to flow, curling along with the wind, causing people's hair to stand on end.

"Don't worry about me, I can't run anymore!" At this moment, the man who was running at the very back had stopped and knelt on the ground. It was probably because he had accidentally been cut by the viper's fangs during his fight with the viper. At this moment, his eyes were filled with venom, and he was no longer able to control his own body.

"Ah Hu, run!" The snake is coming up! " When the man in front saw that Ah Hu had suddenly stopped running, he quickly stopped to take a look. However, he didn't dare to approach him. The wild animals were much more agile and quick to move about in the forest, as they were more able to adapt to the environment here than humans.

Everyone turned around and saw a black snake appear in front of them.

"You guys run first, I'll do it!" Seeing that Ah Hu was no longer able to move, the boss spoke to the few remaining people.

After all, if everyone was present, there was no chance of winning against such a large viper. The only way out was to stall the snake for a while, and only then would the others have a chance to escape. However, those who stayed had no chance of winning.

Either one dies, or everyone dies together. In the end, the boss decided to sacrifice himself to let everyone live. After all, A'Hu was his own younger brother, so he couldn't just watch his younger brother get eaten by the snake and ignore him.

"We're not leaving!" The other men were also men who valued friendship and kindness, so when they heard their boss' words, they immediately disagreed.

'Hiss … '

Viper wouldn't wait for them to come to a discussion. Seeing a person on the ground, he didn't immediately make a move on Ah Hu, but instead pounced on his boss, who was the closest to him.

These people were all seasoned veterans of the forest, and their boss and Ah Hu were even from the Snake Capturing Family. However, in all these years, they have never seen such a large viper.

After all, snakes had pythons and venomous snakes. The venomous snakes were generally smaller in size. Although the python was large, it did not have venom. There were different methods to deal with different snakes, but against such a large snake, the boss seemed to be at a loss for what to do.

He looked at his younger brother, Ah Hu, who had already fainted not too far away. At this moment, he had already closed his eyes and was feeling extremely anxious.

Ahh!" The eldest brother took out a wooden stick from his basket and swung it at the giant snake. "Before the snake could dodge, it was struck squarely on the head by the staff. It shook its huge head, recovered its wits, and once again bit viciously at its boss.

He bit down on the boss's arm, and a chunk of flesh was bitten off by the snake.

Zhong Ming's eyes lit up. He looked around and found the broken iron shoes he needed effortlessly.

Relying on his perception, Zhong Ming did not sense any spirit energy around him, but he did not expect to see the Black Scaled Snake here. The Black Scaled Snake was a type of snake that protected immortals. With this snake in a place, one would definitely be able to find some rare magical equipment or heaven and earth treasures.

Zhong Ming actually did not feel any spirit energy at all, so someone must have intentionally set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering. Since this Black Scaled Snake appeared here, it must have been startled by someone so it chased after it. But since it could appear here, it meant that it hadn't left its protection area yet. In other words, the treasure was nearby.

"Boss!" At this moment, the boss and Viper were forced into a corner. The viper seemed to be very angry at the attack just now and wanted to skin the boss alive.

This type of guardian beast usually had a long lifespan. To be able to grow to its size, a poisonous snake would need at least a hundred years. It seemed like the secrets here were not limited to just these!

The venomous snake approached its boss. At this moment, even though it was as bold as a boss, it was still frightened. A venomous snake with long fangs and a bloody mouth was spitting its core at it, just a meter away from its boss. It was as if he was enjoying how hopeless he was right now.

The people around him used wooden sticks and rocks to hit the snake. The large snake, after going through the pain, swung the few of them up onto a tree nearby. He then turned around and faced the boss. Suddenly, the boss opened his mouth wide and directly bit at the boss' head.

If he took this bite, the boss would definitely have no chance of surviving. The boss had already closed his eyes helplessly. Everyone tried their best to struggle, but there was nothing they could do. They knew that as long as the serpent ate him, their Boss would definitely come back to bite them to death or even eat them.

At this moment, the large snake suddenly trembled and turned its head to look. From the snake's reaction, it seemed to be afraid of something.

Suddenly, a small white animal that had always been like a kitten appeared behind the huge snake. The huge snake suddenly ran away, trembling.

Everyone cried out in alarm. The boss also opened his eyes stealthily and realized that the snake had already disappeared. He couldn't help but slump down to the ground. At this moment, the boss felt his body become stiff, as if his entire body wasn't his. It couldn't be controlled at all.

He knew that the venom had already spread throughout his body. At this point in time, his life wasn't going to end, and he would soon die along with his younger brother.

The small white animal from before was walking to his side, then looking at him, it used its two little claws like a human and stepped on the big boss's two eyes. Just as Boss thought it was strange, he suddenly felt a sweet yet bitter heat rush into his mouth.

The boss really wanted to shout out loud, but his mouth was blocked by water, making no sound at all.

The Boss struggled to keep his eyes open, but was unable to do so. Just like that, the Boss was ravaged by the small animals. At this moment, the Boss truly felt aggrieved.

When the water stopped flowing, the Boss felt light on his face. When he opened his eyes, there was nothing in front of him.

"Boss!" Are you alright? " At this moment, the other five people got up and quickly ran over.

"Brother!" Following closely behind him was his younger brother, Ah Hu.

His brother had not been poisoned by the snake, so how could he stand up now?

The boss wanted to reach out to touch his brother, but he strangely found that his hand could move? Was that animal really saving him? Its urine is the antidote? Had it saved his brother and him?

The boss slowly got up and found that he could really move. If he hadn't looked at the wound on his arm which had stopped bleeding, he really would have thought that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Hello!"

At this moment, a young man with the appearance of a student walked over from not too far away. He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans.

"Excuse me, did you find any special caves nearby?" As Zhong Ming walked closer to the crowd, his expression was extremely simple.

"Who are you? What are you trying to do? " The eldest brother had just recovered from his shock and was very alert of the boys who came over.

"I am a sophomore and specialize in geologic exploration. Because I need some papers this year, I heard that there are a lot of caves, so I came here to see if I could find any special geology." Zhong Ming said indifferently.

Because Zhong Ming had surmised that the Guardian Beast must be in a place with a cave, and these people must have accidentally barged into its cave residence, so they were chased after. Because the thing they were protecting was closely related to them, it had to be something that possessed a very large number of Spiritual Energy. They could rely on the Spiritual Energy they emitted to cultivate or even soar.

"I actually saw a very special geological feature in that cave. "However, I advise you not to go!" The boss earnestly said. He had seen the power of this huge snake before, and seeing this youth enter was tantamount to courting death.

"It's fine, as long as you can tell me where it is, you don't have to be responsible for the rest." Zhong Ming continued.

At this moment, the boss was also in a hurry to bring his brothers back. If anything were to happen to them, how could he explain it to his family when he went back? So after thinking about it, he clapped his hands and told Zhong Ming. After all, I told him about the dangers inside. If he had the ability, he wouldn't mind entering, and he wouldn't dare to do so if I didn't think so.

"There is a stone wall about 300 meters ahead of us. The outer layer of the rock is very fragile. If you gently push it, it will shatter and a cave will be revealed." The boss said.

"The terrain inside is very special. It's just that there's a huge snake five or six meters long with a head the size of a bowl. "It's very dangerous."

"Young man, I advise you not to go. We just returned from that place and almost lost our lives! "Look at the wounds on my body." The boss spoke sincerely. Lowering his head, he suddenly realized that almost all the wounds on his arm had healed.

After asking around, he found that everyone else couldn't remember what had happened just now. For a moment, the boss couldn't tell where he was in a dream. Was he in a dream?
