Seeing his master, He Zhennan, Tu Xiao'an was both moved and worried. For one, his master hadn't Ascended the Mountain to catch snakes in ten years. For another, he was facing an Awakened Creature—a Mutated Bloodsucker Snake.
Worried that something might happen to his master, he focused his full attention, deciding to protect him from the shadows.
At the scene, the man and the snake faced off. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and the very air seemed to grow cold. On one side was the renowned Snake Catching Master of Bai Town; on the other, the legendary Mutated Bloodsucker Snake.
Whether the man would capture the Snake, or the Snake would take the man's life, remained to be seen.
Just then, the Mutated Bloodsucker Snake shrieked. The fiery red stripes all over its body began to glow brilliantly, shimmering as if activated. With what seemed like divine speed, it shot toward He Zhennan like a bolt of lightning, its four sharp, shocking fangs on full display.
