Chapter 742 - The First Place
When hearing the strange sound, Zhou Huaijin quickly s.h.i.+elded Gu Chaoyan, raised the bows and arrows as he shot into the direction of sound. In the meanwhile, both Gu Chaoyan and Sword One shot arrows as well. The arrows. .h.i.t the large black silhouette, yet it gave no response. That black silhouette was still moving towards them at a high speed.
"No…" Zhou Huaijin let out a surprised cry.
They finally got to see what that big thing was by this point.
Unlike any other possible wild animal in the forest, it was a very enormous black serpent, the largest Zhou Huaijin had ever seen in his life!
If it opened the mouth, it could gulf down the three of them together. And now… It did not seem to pay any attention towards the attacking arrows, and it was coming towards their way with its mouth widely opened.
Zhou Huaijin instantly s.h.i.+elded Gu Chaoyan. "Back off, you two."
Having said this, he hopped up and started to stab the serpent with the sword, but the secret was too large for Zhou Huaijin to stab. The snake continued to move forward as if it felt nothing.
Gu Chaoyan turned around and saw what was going on.
She sensed that something was wrong.
This black enormous serpent was different from normal ones. It was full of vitality and had a strong ability to recover.
It kept draining Zhou Huaijin"s energy.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while as she took out the medical bottle, which contained an extremely poisonous drug, which Gu Chaoyan made a couple of days ago. Now it had finally come into use.
She could not reach it, so she turned to Sword One. "Sword One, lift me up to its eyes!"
When Sword One heard this, she did not hesitate for a second.
She jumped up with Gu Chaoyan.
It was a very urgent situation where no mistakes were allowed. Lord Huai was very good at martial arts, but he was not strong enough to deal with the serpent. Sword One decided to trust Elder Miss, because she always believed that Elder Miss was a woman that tended to create miracles. So she subconsciously decided to obey the order.
When Gu Chaoyan was lifted, she took out the bottle and sprinkled the drug upon the black serpent"s eyes.
When the snake was poisoned, its large body started moving crazily.
Since it could not see anything, all it could do was b.u.mp around randomly.
Zhou Huaijin took the opportunity, stabbing right into the serpent"s stomach, and dug out the gallbladder.
Only then did the white serpent gradually stop moving.
Sword One placed Gu Chaoyan back on the horse. Both of them were panting, but they exchanged a look and smiled.
Zhou Huaijin had tied up the black serpent with something. When the serpent was tied, he held a rope in hand and waved at Gu Chaoyan. "We can go back now, it is a huge harvest for us!"
Zhou Huaijin did not blame Sword One for lifting Chaoyan, because he just noticed that the two girls were smiling at each other, so he did not want to ruin the happy mood.
"With this serpent around, I am definitely going to win the contest." Zhou Huaijin said with a smile, "It is a great job by the three of us!"
Sword One and Gu Chaoyan were both smiling.

In the pitch of the Spring Hunt…
Zhou Huailing had already returned, and the rest of the partic.i.p.ants arrived one after another too.
Zhou Huailing had killed two tigers in the deep mountains.
With these two tigers as prey, he believed that he was going to be the winner, thus leaving the field directly.
