My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 36: Giant Snake, Small Beast

Night had fallen, and everything was silent.

The moon hung high, casting its silver light upon the cliffs of Snake Head Mountain, causing the dark, misty forest to tremble slightly. Rustling sounds echoed all around, rocks and stones rolling down the mountains above.

Suddenly, two massive crimson eyeballs hung above the cliffs of Snake Head Mountain, glowing like lanterns. The cliff seemed to come alive!

The giant snake raised its head, its crimson eyes scanning the surroundings. It opened its bloodthirsty mouth, and black gas spewed out. Within half an incense stick’s time, the entire misty forest was covered in darkness, and the continuous mountain ridges began to writhe.

“Ah, it hurts~” Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, greeted by pitch darkness.

“What’s going on? Am I blind?!”

Qin Feng was shocked. He tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his back, making him grit his teeth and preventing him from moving freely.

He sighed softly, carefully recalling everything before he passed out, forming a guess in his mind.

“It must have been the impact from the explosion that sent me flying into the Black Mist Forest. Every night in the Black-Fog Forest, when the moonlight falls, there will be black mist covering the heavens and shielding the moon, so I can’t see anything. Wait, I remember Miss Lan had a firestarter in her spatial jade pendant?”

Qin Feng cautiously felt around in his clothes and fortunately found that both his Spatial Ring and Spatial Jade Pendant were intact.

He used his divine sense to explore the jade pendant and quickly retrieved the firestarter and a candlestick.

After lighting the candle, the faint flame flickered, allowing him to see things within a yard’s range.

“Where am I? Where are Lady Cang and Lady Lan? They should be fine.” Qin Feng examined his injuries, realizing his outer garment was already tattered. Through the holes in his clothes, he saw bloodstains that were alarming.

Of course, his back injury was the most severe. At this moment, Qin Feng only hoped that his waist and kidneys were not seriously affected; after all, it was related to his future happiness.

“The impact of the explosion couldn’t have thrown me too far away. I should be near the edge of the Black Mist Forest. But with my current physical condition, it would be difficult to move. Moreover, the mist obscures my vision, making it impossible to distinguish directions. If I end up going in the wrong direction, the consequences would be disastrous. And if Lady Cang and Lady Lan are fine, they will surely come looking for me. Moving around would only cause trouble for them.”

After analyzing the situation, Qin Feng decided that staying put and waiting for dawn was the most prudent course of action.

So, he found a comfortable position that wouldn’t aggravate his injuries and lay down resolutely.

The forest was very quiet, with occasional rustling sounds, as if something was slithering nearby.

He suddenly thought of the terrifying beasts in the Black Misty Forest; could the sounds be coming from them? He had read numerous books that described wild creatures, many of which were ruthless, devouring people without leaving a trace.

Qin Feng felt a bit scared and involuntarily swallowed.

Just then, a deafening roar echoed through the forest. Qin Feng was startled because the sound was identical to what he had heard during the day, and it seemed very close!

“It can’t be this unlucky, can it?”

Crack, crack, the sound of twigs being broken indicated something was approaching! The mist obscured his vision just a yard away, magnifying his fear.

Qin Feng seemed to have already seen a ferocious beast with its bloodthirsty mouth wide open, peeking its head out, staring at him with crimson eyes, ready to devour him in one bite!

The sound was so close now, almost at the edge of the light. Qin Feng stared in that direction, not daring to blink!

Snap, a stone rolled into the illuminated area. That creature was about to arrive!

At the edge of light and darkness, the fierce beast’s claw indeed extended, revealing a size about half of a palm!

Huh?So small?

Qin Feng was dumbfounded; he couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

The white little creature seemed to be probing, stretching forward and then retracting. After repeating this three or four times, it slowly approached.

Only when its entire figure entered the light did Qin Feng see it clearly.

It was a white creature resembling a cat, with white fur mixed with black hair. It had two small ears on top of its head, and below them were sapphire-like small eyeballs, blinking cutely.

Is this it?

Qin Feng was completely bewildered. Was this tiny creature in front of him the formidable beast of at least Fourth Cycle Calamity Power?

No, it couldn’t be. I must have misunderstood something. Qin Feng shook his head. The earth-shattering roar couldn’t possibly have come from this little fellow.

Yes, the formidable beast must still be lurking in the dark mist ahead, and this white creature in front of him must be fleeing!

Who knew, just as Qin Feng was thinking this, the white creature’s stomach growled. The familiar roar of a beast echoed again, resounding in his ears.

Qin Feng’s mouth hung open. He couldn’t believe that the mighty and earth-shaking roar was just the sound of this white creature’s hungry stomach!

“Heh.” Qin Feng sneered. The fear in his heart vanished. He could easily send this little thing flying with just a fart.

Seemingly sensing Qin Feng’s contempt, the chubby little creature displayed a human-like expression of anger on its small face. It opened its tiny mouth and sneezed, as if it were spraying something.

However, this sneeze, like a projectile, directly shattered a boulder about half the height of a person! The rock fragments pelted Qin Feng’s face, as if slapping him.

Such power from a sneeze? If this little thing farts, wouldn’t it be able to blast me to death?!

Qin Feng swallowed hard, forcing a harmless smile on his face.

The white creature ignored him and instead raised its head and let out a cry. It looked like a tiger’s roar echoing through the mountains and forests, but perhaps because it was still too small, its vocal cords hadn’t fully developed, making it sound like a “meow.”

What does this little thing mean? Is it trying to intimidate me?

Qin Feng speculated inwardly, glancing at the shattered rocks beside him. Compared to that “meow,” the sneeze was more intimidating.

But Qin Feng was clearly overthinking it. The white creature only wanted its food.

Suddenly, the black mist above churned. In a moment, a huge snake head protruded. Its crimson eyes scanned the surroundings, lingering on Qin Feng for a moment before retracting its gaze.

Qin Feng was instantly pale with fear. He recognized this snake head; it was identical to the shape of the cliff!

The giant snake head didn’t stay long and quickly disappeared back into the black mist.

Then, with a thud, the carcass of a bull, roughly the size of two adult men, was thrown down, creating a deep pit on the ground.
