Chapter 967

Alora Village was an ancient village on the outskirts of a primeval forest. It wasn’t governed by any

counties. Since poisonous plants and insects surrounded it, people rarely ventured to the village.

In the past, Joel was brought into the village by his mentor. He could still remember how to enter the

village.

There was a layer of miasma surrounding the village. There were cliffs and precipices to the northern

side.

If regular people tried entering the village, they would either be killed by poisonous insects or the

miasma.

Joel had prepared the group in advance, so everyone wore protective suits and gas masks. They

entered the village boldly while carrying Ethan.

Ethan’s condition was worsening by the minute. He was slowly becoming delirious.

It was the first time Kelvin had been to a place like this. He felt uneasy even though he was fully

protected. He could still see the venomous snakes and scorpions circling them.

“Brother, do you hear hissing sounds?

Brent was next to Ethan. He said calmly, There are a lot of venomous snakes in this area. It’s only

natural to hear hissing sounds.

“But I feel like this is different from the others.”

“You’re just imagining it.”

Kelvin trudged on jumpily. He would rather go digging up bodies at a mass grave than be here with all

the venomous creatures.

Suddenly, a spider, which was larger than his fist, fell from a tree overhead.

“Oh my god!”

Brent could feel his head throbbing. “We’re close to a tropical forest. It’s only natural for the creatures

here to be larger. Have you never watched any videos about animals? There was even a sighting of a

giant anaconda over 100 feet long in the Mucharian region.”

Brent didn’t know how to feel. His brother was still so jumpy despite his age.

Suddenly, Kelvin was frozen in place. He asked shakily, “Brent, are you talking about that…”

“What did you see this time?” Brent wanted to yell at Kelvin again, but he raised his head to see a

hulking

Kelvin’s legs started trembling. “Is this the legendary hydra?”

“I told you not to read useless books. Hydras aren’t real. That has to be a python. It isn’t venomous.”

As soon as he said that, the snake got close. A giant red snake revealed itself to them.

“Brent, does that look like a python to you? It’s clearly a venomous snake!”

Brent was rendered speechless.

As expected, a strange place like this defied logic. Brent remained calm. After all, they were armed with

modern weapons.

“Be on guard, guys. Be ready to fire.”

Such a large snake was not only venomous, but it could also swallow a person whole. It was way more

terrifying than the regular snakes and scorpions.

Joel raised his hand. “Wait. Don’t attack without reason. You might agitate it.”

The snake bunched itself up and observed the group. It didn’t seem hostile. Then, it started to drum its

tail on the ground and flick its tongue. It was clearly collecting information on them.

“Oh no, it’s preparing to attack. Brace yourselves and protect Mr. Miller.”

Kelvin gulped as the snake was about to attack.

As soon as the snake moved, a mysterious tune could be heard coming from the forest. It didn’t sound

like any sort of musical instrument. The snake calmed down visibly after hearing it.

In such a tense situation, they saw someone emerging from the mist. It was a child-a short, young girl.

She was wearing clothes made with colorful fabric. There was a weird accessory around her neck too.

She was holding a leaf. The tune was coming from the leaf.

The red snake began to approach the girl. Kelvin instinctively called out, “Be careful!”

Then, he saw the snake propping the girl up.
