Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei sat in the middle, Xiao Shumiao sat beside Gu Junzhu on the right, and Lingyue sat beside Ye Xingbei on the left.
As Xie Yumo opened her backpack and made a throwing motion, Gu Junzhu had already reacted quickly, pushing Xiao Shumiao into the arms of Senior Master Xie, while he shoved Ye Xingbei to the side with his other hand.
Ye Xingbei, pushed by him, collided into Lingyue, who involuntarily toppled to one side.
By the time the contents of Xie Yumo's backpack were hurled at them, they had already spread out, but what Xie Yumo threw from her bag was alive.
It was snakes.
Dozens of brightly colored venomous snakes fell like rain, pitter-pattering onto the sofa and the ground.
Gu Junzhu was fast enough, and the four of them avoided the rain of snakes, but the snakes quickly slithered toward them, poised to attack.
