Ye Nolisi doesn't rush to kill Ye Huo with a long snake; he decides to first observe the strength of the long snake.
He felt that he should gather all knowledge about the enemy before attacking the enemy. According to a Hundred Beast Book, he got from his eldest aunt after establishing a rather indecent relationship with her, the long snake's name was Green Anaconda. This type of Green Anaconda prefers a safe and stable life, so they don't attack people or any other beast.
From birth, the Green Anacondas were in the Early Stage of the Qi Refining Realm. They had extremely fast speed to increase their cultivation. It's just that their personality was stable and cautious, so they didn't attack or eat others, which made their cultivation stop advancing.
However, when Green Anacondas thought they were about to die because their lifespan was exhausted, they would attack other species to eat them and increase their cultivation.
Now that Green Anaconda attacked the villagers of Yellow Village then, Green Anaconda must be at the end of his life.
What if I wait for some time? Then wouldn't this green snake die in some days without getting food to advance his cultivation... No, I shouldn't be naive, I must kill Ye Huo and get his two daughters and wife... No, I must kill this long snake, Ye Huo is just sacrificing himself to save others; he is a hero who saved the Yellow Village, and as hero's wife and two daughters, it's my duty to take care of them.
With this kind of mentality, Ye Nolisi decided to throw Ye Huo at the edge of the Lake and wait for the Green Anaconda. For food Green Anaconda must be going to show up.
However, he forgot one thing: Ye Huo was ready for this and walked alone to the edge of the Lake.
Shit, my plan to throw him failed; now, will green snake come to eat him?
Ye Nolisi thought as he hid far away from Ye Huo and Lake. He also closed all spiritual energy in his body. He doesn't want Green Anaconda to notice him and run away. Then wouldn't Ye Huo's death be in vain?
So he waited there without making a single noise; he was looking at Ye Huo, who was washing his hands in the lake. Then, he stayed near the lake and started practicing his sword technique.
A day passed, and nothing happened.
Sure enough, it's because I didn't throw him that plan failed, and the green snake didn't appear. Next time, I should toss him into the Lake to attract the green snake, but then... No, I can't do that; if I throw him in the Lake, then the green snake will eat him and run away before I can catch up with him. So what to do? Let's do this again for three days; if that green snake doesn't appear, I will just throw poison in the Lake and let the green snake die in poisonous water.
"Chief Immortal, what should I do now?" Ye Huo asked. He was ready to be injured by Green Anaconda, but Green Anaconda didn't show up. As for dying? Ye Huo has complete trust in Ye Nolisi; he fully trusts that Ye Huo will save him before he dies. If Ye Huo knew that Ye Nolisi already saw him as a dead man, he wouldn't even dare to get close to Lake, let alone become bait for the Green Anaconda.

Time passed by, and today was the third day.
Ye Huo was bored as he sat near the edge of the Lake and was fishing. He felt that Green Anaconda must be run away somewhere and not going to show up. He had to stay here more than one hour, and if Green Anaconda didn't shop up, then it's up to Ye Nolisi to deal with it. He didn't have to worry about these things.
Ye Huo felt that besides powerful power and long lifespan, immortals were pitiful; they had to spend a lot of time alone in cultivation, they didn't get a chance to spend time with their loved ones, they had to guard against others, and so much more. Ye Huo felt that if there were no immortals in this world, the world might be peaceful.
As he was thinking this and looking at Lake absentmindedly. The Green Anaconda, who was naturally cautious, decided to eat him.
Green Anaconda was slow; hiding his presence, he looked at Ye Huo, and he saw that Ye Huo was utterly absent-minded. Ye Huo was alert in the past, so he didn't dare to attack Ye Huo, but now he has a chance. Green Anaconda was not going to waste this chance.
When Green Anaconda thought he was in the perfect position to jump at Ye Huo, he decided to leap at him. He rushed out of the water, opening his huge mouth; he was some centimeters away from eating Ye Huo.
Ye Huo's heart almost stopped. He saw huge fangs and a long snake tongue, and he saw the saliva of a Green Anaconda flowing out of his mouth. Everything felt slow; is this a feeling of death? Ye Huo thought and closed his eyes.
Green Anaconda moved his tongue, and suddenly, a fireball hit his stomach, and he flew back. At this time, Green Anaconda decided to escape into deep water, but he noticed that the entire Lake was frozen.
Shit, I wasted High-Grade Ice Age Talisman and Middle-Grade Fire Ball Talisman, but I can't let this bait die.
Ye Nolisi completely forgot about his deal with Ye Huo's grandfather. He promised to save Ye Huo if he were in danger, and he also got some talisman in exchange. Not to mention, Ye Huo's father was Talisman Master.
Ye Nolisi decided to save this poor guy because if he let this guy die, then in the future, no one is going to look for him to rescue or protect others.
Hm, this is a green snake; for a snake, this guy is huge.
Ye Nolisi looked at Green Anaconda and thought; he raised his arms and shot metallic shards towards the Green Anaconda, and Green Anaconda moved his body violently, enduring the attacks of Metalic Shards, he tried to break the ice, and when he broke the ice, he escaped in deep water.
No, I wasted talisman to kill you. I won't let you escape. Please wait for me, long snake.
Ye Nolisi also jumped into Lake.
Behind, Ye Huo patted his chest. He was so close to death that he became aware that life was short. He should start a family and have two beautiful daughters.
