Escape after crossing

Jiang Ziluo looked carefully at the soil environment around her. In her impression, reed marshes basically grew in places with plenty of water, but there was no water under their feet.

Seeing this, Mingyue asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Are you looking for something?"

"Mingyue, don't you find it strange?"

"What's wrong, girl?" Mingyue asked in confusion.

Jiang Ziluo frowned and said, "This is reed. Wherever it appears, there is usually water. But look at our feet, there is no sign of moisture at all."

After hearing this, Mingyue looked down at the ground, then at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. She carefully observed the reeds, and indeed, as Jiang Ziluo said, they were lush and tall, but there was no obvious water source around them.

"Could it be that there was water here in the past? Maybe it's dried up now." Mingyue made her own guess.

Jiang Ziluo shook his head in denial: "If there was water before, these reeds would have withered or died. But look at them, they are still full of vitality. Moreover, if it was because of lack of water, they would not have grown so tall."

Mingyue nodded, agreeing with Jiang Ziluo's analysis. The two looked at each other, and a sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts. This abnormal phenomenon made them realize that this reed marsh might hide some unknown danger or secret.

"How about we go around it?" Mingyue suggested.

Jiang Ziluo hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to move on. She was curious about this mysterious reed marsh and wanted to find out the reason. At the same time, she believed that with her and Mingyue's abilities, they could cope with the difficulties they might encounter.

Jiang Ziluo walked carefully into the reed marsh, taking every step with extreme caution. She gently pushed aside the tall reeds with her hands, trying not to make any noise.

Mingyue followed closely behind her, having also drawn her sword and holding it in her hand, remaining alert at all times.

As they gradually went deeper into the reed marsh, the air around them became more and more stuffy. Both of them couldn't help but take a few more breaths, but the heat was like an invisible heat wave that tightly wrapped them up.

Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue's foreheads and cheeks were covered with crystal beads of sweat, which kept flowing down and soaked their clothes.

At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound in front of them, as if something was moving slowly in the reeds. This sound broke the silence around them and made the two people's hearts suddenly rise to their throats.

Jiang Ziluo suddenly stopped, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, while looking vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from. However, at this moment, both of them noticed something was wrong.

Jiang Ziluo quickly took Mingyue's wrist and carefully felt her pulse. As expected, just as she thought, they were poisoned! There was no doubt that this was a trap set by someone deliberately.

She did not dare to delay for even a second, and quickly reached into her sleeves and took out two Hundred Poison Pills. She handed one to Mingyue and swallowed it herself without hesitation.

Although he had taken the antidote in time, it would take some time for the drug to take effect. At this moment, Jiang Ziluo keenly noticed that something seemed to be shaking in the reeds ahead.

She took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp. She saw a huge yellow python tightly wrapped around a thick reed. Its hideous appearance was horrifying. The python kept spitting out scarlet tongue and staring at them with a pair of sinister eyes.

Jiang Ziluo was shocked. She had never seen such a huge python before. She turned to look at Mingyue, thinking about how to deal with this powerful enemy.

Finally, she decided to take the initiative and told Mingyue: "I will attract its attention later, and you will find a chance to sneak attack it."

Mingyue gripped the hilt nervously and nodded in agreement. Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath, then suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the python's attention.

The python immediately opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, hissed, and pounced towards Jiang Ziluo.

Jiang Ziluo dodged the python's attack by moving sideways. At the same time, Mingyue took the opportunity to rush forward, raised her sword and stabbed the python's body with force.

However, the python's scales were extremely hard, and the sword only left a shallow mark on its body.

The python was enraged. It quickly turned its head and opened its bloody mouth, ready to attack again.

The python was extremely fast and was about to bite Mingyue. At the critical moment, Jiang Ziluo threw a hidden weapon and hit the python's eye. The python stopped attacking temporarily in pain and waved its tail wildly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Ziluo pulled Mingyue up without hesitation and ran desperately towards the outside of the reed marsh. However, due to the poisoning, their physical strength was gradually exhausted and their running speed became slower and slower.

The python quickly recovered from its paralysis and chased them mercilessly. Just when the two were almost desperate and Jiang Ziluo was about to pull Mingyue into the space, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.

After hearing the sound, the python immediately stopped attacking and rushed towards the direction of the whistle at an astonishing speed.

Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still full of doubts. "Sir, could it be that the man who took Master Fang away did all this?" Mingyue asked, panting.

Jiang Ziluo frowned, thought for a moment and replied: "It is possible, but why did he save us in the end?"

Mingyue stared at Jiang Ziluo with a puzzled gleam in her eyes, as if trying to find the answer from her expression.

Jiang Ziluo thought about it again and shook his head. "It's still unclear at the moment, but it looks like the python obeyed him. It wanted to harm us, but somehow it saved our lives. Let's not worry about that for now, let's get out of here."

The two dragged their tired bodies and walked in the direction they came in. Not long after they walked out of the reed marsh, Jiang Ziluo couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

I had too many questions in my mind, and I was very disappointed with myself tonight. First, I took the wrong direction, and then I fell into someone else's trap and almost lost my life.
