One step forward.
Xia Nan felt the air temperature around his body suddenly drop sharply.
Suddenly, his vision went dark.
The next second, the dense forest underbrush once filled with moist fog before him was replaced by a bare stone wall.
"Ah..."
Pain, dizziness.
It was like missing a step on the stairs, the sudden panic causing his exhausted body to no longer hold out.
He unconsciously let out a pained murmur, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
With his last bit of strength, he barely managed to keep his eyes open and glance around.
Seeing no immediate danger, he closed his eyes again amidst the tide of fatigue and pain.
He didn't know how much time passed.
Hiss—
A cold, slick sensation came from his cheek, faintly feeling the muscle wriggling beneath hardened scales.
Xia Nan slowly opened his eyes.
"Shit!"
He jumped up abruptly, throwing the reddish-brown long snake that had somehow crawled onto him to the ground.
