Chapter 37

Double the Happiness

Logically speaking, Yun Ran was not Mo Beiyuan’s subordinate and did not need to follow his orders.

However, it was his subordinates who had found the nest of the Green Phosphorus Snake. It was not good for her to ignore his opinion and act directly.

Yun Ran knew how to behave.

After a while, the man opposite her replied in a deep voice, “Let her go. I’ll follow.”

Since his master would personally protect Miss Yun, there was nothing to worry about.

Mo Beiyuan handed the two little balls to the secret guards to take care of while he entered the Jade Phosphorus Snake’s nest with Yun Ran.

With a torch in one hand and a saber in the other, she led the way, staring ahead with all her concentration, ready to swing at any moment.

When Mo Beiyuan saw her tense little body, his thin lips twitched indifferently. “We’re still a distance away from it. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

He had just released his spiritual power and discovered the exact location of the snake.

Deep in the cavern, Yun Ran heard the hidden amusement in his words, but she never let her guard down.

This was a habit she had developed in the apocalypse. After entering such a dark cave, her body would naturally react like this.

This was because when they surrounded the zombie nest, it was very likely that the moment they relaxed, their necks would be bitten off by the zombies hiding in the dark.

These were all instincts that she had trained to survive in the apocalypse.

They continued deeper into the cave, the light from their torches wavering slightly.

But her steps never faltered.

“Be careful. It’s just ahead.”

After walking for about an hour, Mo Beiyuan suddenly reminded her.

Yun Ran made a soft sound and tightened her grip on her saber. Her gaze hardened.

She raised the torch slightly and took a few more steps forward. She saw a few natural stalagmites in the cave in front of her. On one of the stalagmites was a huge snake covered in green scales.

The giant snake must have heard them. It raised its huge head and spat its bright red tongue at them.

There was a strange, indefinable smell in the air.

Mo Beiyuan’s eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately released his spiritual power.

He reached out and pulled Yun Ran behind him.

“Let’s go.”

Before Yun Ran could figure out what he meant, Mo Beiyuan said, “It’s too late.”

With that, Yun Ran saw a sword in his hand.

The sword had no scabbard and was much larger than an ordinary sword.

It looked a little bulky.

However, in Mo Beiyuan’s hand, it made people feel that this sword was tailor-made for him. Only the powerful aura emitted by this man could control this huge sword—the Divine Hou.

Yun Ran took her eyes off the sword and used the light from the torch to scan the hole again. Only then did she understand why Mo Beiyuan had suddenly drawn his sword.

Earlier, she had only seen the Jade Phosphorus Snake coiled around the stalagmite in the middle of the cave, but she had not noticed that the top of the cave was very high and there were many stone stalactites hanging from it. Those stalactites were also coiled with huge green snakes.

There were at least twenty or thirty of them. They had entered a huge snake pit.

“Mo Beiyuan, are these Jade Phosphorus Snakes all eight-star demon beasts?”

“Yes.”

Mo Beiyuan was glad that he had followed her in. Otherwise, this woman would probably have been torn to pieces by these Jade Phosphorus Snakes.

Yun Ran, on the other hand, felt that her luck was really good!

She had encountered so many eight-star demon beasts at once!

With the priceless Eight Star Crystals and the Jade Phosphorus Snakes’ reverse scales, wouldn’t she be twice as happy?!
