After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 386 The snake, its tongue flicking, swam to the child's side.

The little mouse, recalling how its companion had been eaten, still felt a lingering fear, its fur trembling all over.

"The terrible snake opened its mouth and swallowed its companion rat whole."

Jiang Yuan didn't press it, and asked softly, "Then can you tell me where the snake ate your friend?"

Little mouse: "Next to a barbecue restaurant."

"A barbecue restaurant?" Jiang Yuan took out her phone and searched. There were seven or eight barbecue restaurants within a kilometer.

She pursed her lips and said to Xiao Xu, "The little mouse is scared. Let's wait for Little Swallow's friend."

"Okay." Xiao Xu nodded.

After a while, two little swallows flew in with their friends.

Their bolder friend is a star-headed woodpecker with very distinctive markings.

"Hello, woodpecker friend," Jiang Yuan greeted it first.

The woodpecker looked at her curiously, "Human, you can actually understand bird language!"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan slightly raised the corners of her lips. "I heard from your friends that you're very brave, daring to follow Cobra?"

"Hehe." The woodpecker chuckled proudly, "Yes, birds are very bold."

"When you followed the cobra, did you see what it was doing?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The woodpecker said, "I saw it eat several mice."

Upon hearing this, the little mouse in the green belt immediately became agitated and started crying.

Hearing the sound, the woodpecker asked suspiciously, "What's that sound?"

“It’s a little mouse,” Jiang Yuan explained. “Its companion was eaten by a cobra.”

"Oh dear, this is terrible," the woodpecker said sympathetically.

“Yes, it’s terrible,” Jiang Yuan agreed, then asked, “Do you know where the cobra is right now?”

“I know,” the woodpecker nodded. “It’s been circling around those houses, looking like it’s looking for something.”

"Can you take us to find it?"

"Of course," the woodpecker agreed readily.

"Thank you," Jiang Yuan said, then lowered her eyes to say goodbye to the little mouse. "We're leaving now. Take care of yourself. Goodbye."

The little mouse also said, "You must also protect yourselves and not be eaten by the terrible snake."

"Okay, thank you for your concern." After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked up and told Woodpecker, "We'll be inviting a few more friends to come along."

“No problem.” The woodpecker flapped its wings and flew beside her, its tail feathers trembling slightly, its beady black eyes darting around. “Humans, what are you doing looking for a cobra? Aren’t you afraid of being eaten?”

Jiang Yuan explained, "I was afraid it might accidentally hurt humans, and I also wanted to know if something had happened to it."

"I see," the woodpecker exclaimed in realization.

Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu called the others, and the group followed the woodpecker to where the cobra was.

As it traversed the streets and alleys, the woodpecker suddenly cried out alertly, "The bird smells its scent!" It quickened its flapping and gracefully ascended upwards.

The woodpecker looked down from mid-air and quickly spotted the cobra.

It flew back to Jiang Yuan's side and said seriously, "The bird saw it; it seems to be approaching a human cub."

"Approaching human cubs?" Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "Let's hurry."

The group immediately quickened their pace and soon entered a small park.

The woodpecker folded its wings and landed on Jiang Yuan's shoulder. "It's behind that biggest tree."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan nodded and looked at the big tree. She stared at it for a while before spotting the cobra hidden behind it.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered something.

Can't she use points to exchange for item cards to find the cobra?
Jiang Yuan was speechless at herself; her brain wasn't working very well.

Fortunately, we had the help of a woodpecker to find the cobra today, so it didn't take too long.

Jiang Yuan stopped dwelling on the matter and glanced at the people in the small park.

Several elderly men were playing chess, a group of elderly women were doing square dancing, and an old lady was taking care of her grandson.

The stroller was placed aside, and the child, who probably couldn't walk yet, sat on the ground, babbling and playing with leaves.

Although the old lady was taking care of her grandson, her eyes were glued to the square dancing not far away, and she danced along with the other women with great enthusiasm.

Meng Xiaokai shouted a few times, trying to remind the old lady to take the child away, but the sound of the square dancing was too loud, and the old lady didn't hear a word.

Behind the big tree, the cobra raised its triangular head, its dark brown pupils fixed on the child. The skin folds on its neck spread into a flat fan shape, its venomous forked tongue flicking out, exuding a dangerous aura of impending doom.

Jiang Yuan frowned. "That child's situation is too dangerous."

"Let me ask." Si Heng had already notified the fire department. He took out his phone and made a call. "How much longer until they arrive?"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Jiang Yuan and said in a slightly somber tone, "They'll be in about five more minutes."

Jiang Yuan hesitated and said, "Shall we go over first, and I'll talk to it?"

Actually, she wasn't sure either. No one could guarantee that the cobra wouldn't suddenly attack, and this cobra harbored a desire to take revenge on humans.

In just a few words, the cobra was already closing in on the child on the ground.

Everyone's hearts sank.

Jiang Yuan quickly asked the system in her mind: [009, are there any items that can defend against cobra attacks?]

[System 009: The currently available item "Soul of Beasts" can intimidate cobras, triggering fear for ten minutes. The item "Hundredfold Animal Affinity" can induce a sense of kinship in cobras, causing them to approach and reducing their attack rate for thirty minutes.]

Jiang Yuan: [Please help me exchange for the "Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts" first.]

[System 009: Confirm whether to use 100 points to redeem the item "Soul of the Beasts"?]

Jiang Yuan: [Yes.]

[System 009: "Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts" successfully redeemed.]

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to say hello to Si Heng and the others before going over, but unexpectedly, the cobra had already slithered up to the child with its tongue flicking.

That's too late.

She didn't even have time to explain before rushing over.

"Jiang Yuan!" Everyone called out her name almost simultaneously, their voices filled with deep worry.

The "Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts" had taken effect. The cobra, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Jiang Yuan, immediately retreated behind the tree in fear.

Jiang Yuan stopped beside the child, bent down and picked it up.

The old lady finally came to her senses, turned around and saw her grandson being held by a strange girl, and said unhappily, "Why are you holding my grandson?"

She took the child back.

Jiang Yuan explained, "There was a snake just now."

"What snake? Where did this snake come from?" The old woman looked around a few times. "I don't see any. Nonsense, I think you're trying to steal the child!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She was speechless.

Meng Xiaokai stepped forward, clearly displeased with the old woman's behavior. "What kind of attitude is that? My colleague saved your grandson, and you dare to turn around and accuse me?"
