A human and a snake, having a staring contest under the pine tree!
As time passed by, the tension built higher and higher. Sweats were dripping down Cheng Xiao Xiao's cheek. Her hands formed fists inside her sleeves, but she continued to stare intently at the snake. She dared not to move.
What to do? What could she do?
Cheng Xiao Xiao was very frightened, even though she wasn't showing it. She had no chance to outrun this snake.
Hisssss....
The bandit krait stuck it split tongue. The next moment, the snake lurked toward Cheng Xiao Xiao.
The snake came at her at lighting speed. Cheng Xiao Xiao's brain was drawing blank. She had only one thought – suck it inside the dimension.
Right when she thought about it, the snake that was inches from her wrist disappeared immediately.
The shocked Cheng Xiao Xiao was taken a back. It took her a while before she could react!
She let out a sharp breath and patted herself on her chest, dripping in cold sweat. Her brain finally started to work again.
She looked around but didn't see the banded krait anywhere. She frowned lightly.
The snake had disappeared!
She thought about it for a second and skipped into the dimension.
Right when she had entered, the system voice resounded, "A new species the banded krait had appeared. Dimension leveled up to level 3. An additional well had been added for the host to use!"
She did suck it into the dimension.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was ecstatic. She walked and looked around the dimension but didn't find the banded krait.
And she had noticed that not just the banded krait, she didn't find the bamboo shoots either.
"Where are the items that I have transported in here?"
"Replying host: bamboo shoots and banded krait had been added to the shop catalog. Whenever the host needs, you can plant or summon on demand!"
Is that so!
Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately entered her little cottage and clicked on "shop". Sure enough, she saw the icons for bamboo shoots and the banded krait.
She stared at the banded krait's icon and started to worry. What was the purpose of added poisonous snakes to the catalog? Sounds very dangerous if it was let out and bite people.
"Replying host: Any animals that appear in the dimension will recognize the host as their master and obey their commands."
"Obey my commands?"
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a little dubious. Looking at the icon of the curled-up banded krait, she was very tempted to give it try, to see whether it would truly obey her commands.
She clicked the icon, after a golden beam of light, a banded krait appeared in front of her. It was, indeed, the snake that tried to attack her earlier.
She looked into the snake's eyes and immediate she felt different. She could feel the affinity of the snake toward her.
Yes, affinity, like that from a pet.
She was surprised. She reached out a finger and slowly inched toward the snake's head. The vicious-looking banded krait waited motionlessly.
It's expression didn't change, the nervous Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly relaxed.
When her fingered touched the snake, the slightly cool snake scales made it felt like jade. The snake seemed happy, it nuzzled her wrist with its head.
Before Cheng Xiao Xiao could react, it wrapped itself around her wist. Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little scared and wanted to flung it off of her.
