The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Wang Shi held on to a thick tree tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly. He turned his head with difficulty and looked in the direction he came from.

As far as he could see, there was only emptiness and silence, which made him feel a little relieved.

Then he slowly sat down against the tree trunk, breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death escape.

"Finally... I finally got rid of it completely..."

As Wang Shi spoke, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand, his voice full of fatigue and relief.

Zhao Shao, who was standing aside, was also exhausted. He quickly took out the bamboo kettle he carried with him from his waist, unscrewed the lid, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

The cool water slid down his throat, moistening his dry throat and making him feel a little stronger.

After his breathing stabilized, Zhao Shao couldn't help but curse:

"These damn bastards, do they have a deep hatred for us?

You're so persistent in pursuing me!"

Hearing Zhao Shao's complaints, Wang Shi also drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said:

"You know what, these people are just a bunch of bastards, otherwise why would they stick to us like a dog-skin plaster?

If you ask me, they are just jealous of us guys running fast!"

After saying this, Wang Shi laughed proudly a few times.

However, just as Wang Shi was about to continue teasing, he suddenly found that Zhao Shao's expression became very strange.

Zhao Shao wanted to smile, but as soon as the corners of his mouth rose, they froze.

Then, he waved his hands desperately at Wang Shi and pointed his fingers behind Wang Shi, as if to suggest that he should not move.

Wang Shi was immediately confused when he saw this. He watched Zhao Shao pointing behind him and shaking his arms, and he became increasingly puzzled.

A confused look appeared on his face, and he frowned and asked:

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Can you just say what you want to say?

Don't be so secretive!"

At this moment, from Zhao Shao's perspective, he could clearly see a poisonous snake with a green body and crystal clear like jade quietly wrapping its slender tail around the big tree that Wang Shi was leaning against behind him.

But Wang Shi was completely oblivious to this, still leaning against the tree, muttering:

"Are you dumb, man?

Tell me what happened!"

When people face the endless unknown, an indescribable fear and awe often surges from deep in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Shi was standing there blankly, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

Not far away, Zhao Shao waved hard at Wang Shi, but seeing that Wang Shi had no response, he could only sigh helplessly, and then slowly moved from the shade.

After approaching Wang Shi, Zhao Shao lowered his voice and said cautiously:

"Don't move, there's a snake behind you!

Let me help you get it away."

Hearing this, Wang Shi woke up as if from a dream and realized that danger was at hand.

He couldn't help but gasp when he thought that he had never noticed such a potential threat lurking behind him.

In an instant, he closed his lips tightly, not daring to make any sound. At the same time, he quietly felt the strange touch coming from behind, nervously waiting for Zhao Shao to take action.

After Zhao Shao finished his instructions quietly, he tiptoed behind Wang Shi.

He moved slowly but steadily and gently grabbed the snake's tail.

Then, he exerted a little force and slowly pulled in the counterclockwise direction of the snake's body.

As time went on, most of the snake's body was gradually pulled out.

When the time was right, Zhao Shao exerted force suddenly and tore off the snake's tail along with the package behind Wang Shi that was used to cover the snake's head.

In an instant, the snake, about one meter long, was completely exposed.

Then, Zhao Shao did not hesitate and waved his hand to throw the snake far away. The snake twisted its body and disappeared in a short while.

Seeing a emerald green snake flying past him quickly, Wang Shi was so shocked that he slapped his chest repeatedly, still feeling scared.

He patted his chest to comfort himself, looked at Zhao Shao with gratitude, and said thankfully:

"It was truly thrilling. If you hadn't come to my rescue in time, I would have been bitten to death."

Zhao Shao said indifferently:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Besides, look at this snake. It has a round head and a round brain. It's obviously not poisonous. Even if it bites you, it won't kill you. What's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Shi was still trying to calm his frightened heart, but after hearing what Zhao Shao said, he couldn't help but retort:

"What do you know!

Is there no animal you are afraid of?"

Zhao Shao answered without hesitation:

"Of course I was scared sometimes, but as I got more familiar with it, I gradually stopped being afraid."

However, he muttered to himself, it's a good thing that I have my father He Niu. When he took me hunting in the past, he always caught some non-venomous snakes to scare me.

Otherwise, I might be as timid and afraid of snakes as you are now!

Then, Zhao Shao suddenly came to his senses and realized that Wang Shi was so afraid of snakes. He grinned and said jokingly:

"Hahaha, so you're afraid of snakes?

Now I have caught you by the tail."

Wang Shi's expression changed instantly. He glared at Zhao Shao fiercely, as if he was determined to put him to death. He threatened:

"You'd better not reveal this secret of mine, otherwise... humph!"

Before he finished speaking, his hands, which seemed to be hanging casually, were now tightly grasping a knife that was shining coldly and extremely sharp!

The knife seemed to appear out of thin air, catching people off guard.

When Zhao Shao saw this, his heart sank suddenly, realizing that the other party might be serious!

A thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He quickly put on a smile and said with a bit of panic and apology:

"Oh my, please don't misunderstand!

How is this possible?

You don’t know me yet. My mouth has always been tighter than a clam shell!

Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare reveal a single word!"

After hearing this, Wang Shi's expression eased a little, but the vigilance in his eyes did not completely disappear.

He snorted coldly and threw the knife in his hand to the side. The blade made a crisp sound when it hit the ground. Then, he looked at Zhao Shao coldly and said:

"Humph, you still have some sense!

However, if I find out about any disturbance, you should know the consequences!"

After saying this, he drew his sword and turned away, leaving Zhao Shao standing there. He breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and whispered excitedly in his heart:

"Then I can just say no when you're not around."

After the other party left, he said to Wang Shi:

"Wait for me..."
