Chapter 97 97. Big snake
If she hadn't asked Christine for the four notes, the girl's guess would have been correct, and it would have been Christine who would have collected all the notes in the end.

But the key variable was Jiang Jianxin, which resulted in the fact that the person who saw the letter in the end was not her.

Looking at the last sentence of the letter, Jiang Jianxin thought for a moment, then carefully folded the letter and prepared to show it to Christine when he got out, so as not to disappoint the girl.

After putting the letter away, she looked at the four pieces of paper on the table again. The blood-stained brown ballpoint pen ink on them was shining in the light.

They will hide in the house in advance, and they will eat the house.

Jiang Jianxin picked up the paper.

Suddenly I remembered the time when I was in the safe house in the wilderness.

As soon as she entered the house, she was attacked by a strange atmosphere... Is this the meaning of the first half of the note?
——They hid in the house in advance and waited for the unlucky guy to come in.

What does the second half of the sentence mean?
…They’ll eat the house?

Jiang Jianxin tried hard to stretch his poor imagination.

——Could it be possible that these monsters in the wilderness could follow us into the forest and swallow up the house?
Jiang Jianxin felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this explanation, but it also seemed very reasonable.

She looked at the other note.

[The wilderness is full of deceit, and the snake will open its mouth wide.]

This is a very rhyming sentence, which seems to correspond to the previous note.

Looking at the two notes, the broken clues in Jiang Jianxin's mind connected together. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she seemed to understand something.

Could it be that... the snake in the forest will swallow the house?

But she searched the forest during the day and didn't see any animals near the safe house, let alone snakes. This guess was really ridiculous.

Jiang Jianxin sifted through the other three notes and picked up the last one that mentioned snakes.

There were no roads in the forest, but as more people walked, more snakes appeared.

This sentence can be said to be incoherent, but such an awkward sentence is accurately displayed on the note.

If I could still make some sense of the other notes, I had no idea what this one meant.

Jiang Jianxin rested his hand on his chin, thinking hard, when he suddenly heard a slight friction sound coming from outside the room.

"Shhhh..."

There was the sound of leaves breaking, and you could feel that the owner of the sound was moving very slowly. The friction sound was mixed in with the sound of the wind, and he was trying his best to cover it up.

But Jiang Jianxin had been the Sword Master for so many years and was very alert to any sound, so he still heard it.

She clutched the notes in her palm, frowning.

Jiang Jianxin moved closer to the door, and the rattan wood floor made a barely perceptible creaking sound.

When she crouched close to the crack in the door, the damp smell of rotten wood mixed with a certain fishy sweetness hit her face.

“Rustle—”

The dull rustling sound was like a blunt knife scraping across the eardrum, the fallen leaves rippled dimly in the moonlight, and the several-foot-wide snake belly rolled over the broken branches, making a slight "crackling" sound.

Jiang Jianxin heard the sound of gasps from his throat mixed with the whimpering wind outside the door.

She tilted her head slightly and looked outside through the crack in the door, only to meet an inverted triangle of scarlet vertical pupils.

——There is something outside the door looking in!
This discovery gave Jiang Jianxin goosebumps.

In a flash, she drew the Tangguang Sword and stabbed it directly out through the crack in the door.

If the Tangguang Sword is not infused with spiritual energy, it can still be used as an ordinary sharp weapon.

Because she was fast enough, the stab pierced the monster's eye quickly, accurately and fiercely, and a sharp scream came from outside the house.

The Tangguang that was put away was stained with sticky blood. Jiang Jianxin's heart was beating like a drum. She tried to calm herself down and remembered what was written in the letter:
【No matter what sound you hear, don't go out.】

"Bang——" "Bang——"

"boom--"

A heavy object hit the door of the Fujiya again and again. After three loud bangs, the whole building shook violently as if a giant was holding it.

Jiang Jianxin's scabbard pressed against the floor, and the wooden beams of the vine house above her head groaned like a dying beast, and moss fragments fell into her hair.

"Crack - clap -"

The copper bolts on the door were twitching wildly, and the brass hinges were twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the fourth wave of impact, carried by the night wind, rushed towards the door of Fujiya, she saw clearly that the raised carvings on the surface of the latch were actually flattened.

Jiang Jianxin gritted his teeth and looked out through the crack in the door again.

She caught a glimpse of the monster outside the door, its scarlet mouth open, and its narrow, barbed tongue wrapped around the vine house on the treetops.

"boom----"

Through the cracked door panel, scarlet exploded in the field of vision.

The moment Jiang Jianxin was thrown against the wall, he saw the barbs on the snake's tongue entangled in the beams like thorn whips. The entire vine house turned into a shaking kaleidoscope amid the sound of the treetops collapsing, and was pulled towards the snake's mouth little by little.

"Wow————"

The broken bark peeled off like scales, and green juice mixed with sawdust splashed like rain in front of her eyes.

The feeling of weightlessness made her internal organs hang in her throat, and the flying fragments of the copper plug brushed her cheek. When the cage formed by the fangs completely covered her vision, she saw her reflection in the snake's pupils being swallowed by the mucus.

——This is a snake in the forest, it wants to eat this house!
Just as she had expected, the girl's note really meant this.

Jiang Jianxin thrust the Tangguang Sword down hard, blocking the giant snake's teeth. The mucus in the snake's mouth was draining her blood.

[HP -10]

[HP -10]

[HP -10]

……

Jiang Jianxin didn't care about the double-digit reduction. She pushed aside the mucus that was blocking the movement, then rolled up her sleeves and punched the giant snake's upper jaw.

"hiss----"

There was another sharp scream. Jiang Jianxin's punch was powerful enough to break its bones, leaving a bloody hole.

“Hiss—hiss—”

The giant snake spat out Jiang Jianxin and all the Fujiya debris in its mouth in pain, containing a large amount of green venom.

Jiang Jianxin used the force to jump out of the ruins of the vine house.

Her body was covered in green slime, but she wasn't seriously injured. She stood there straight, extending her fists to the left and right, and shouted angrily:
"You're tearing down my house, aren't you? Let me see what you can do."

The mucus on her body and the miasma around her were causing Jiang Jianxin to lose blood continuously. The constant reminders in her mind were very noisy, making her feel irritated.

The moonlight revealed the appearance of a giant snake. It was about three stories tall, with a huge, curled body. Scarlet eyes were flashing on its triangular head, and its tongue was spitting out of its big mouth.

Unlike ordinary snakes, it has two sharp black claws in front of its body, which looks very strange.

At this moment, the big snake shouted to the sky:
"Hush-hush-"

"Boom——————"

The entire forest began to tremble, green waves were rolling and roaring. Jiang Jianxin looked around and saw a scene that made her unbelievable.
