Ace thought Joanna was trying to trick him so she did not take her warning seriously.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
Looking down, he saw a black snake spitting out its bright red tongue, looking at him menacingly. The snake was about two fingers wide.
"Crap!"
Ace frowned. He could clearly feel the muscles around his ankle becoming numb. He could hardly stand anymore.
He quickly moved Joanna behind him to protect her and said, "I'll lure it away. You look for a chance to escape!"
"Did it bite you?"
Joanna clenched her fists and said in a tense voice, "The snake has a silver ring around its neck and lives in a humid place, so it should be highly venomous. Stop moving so that the venom won't spread so fast!"
"Shut up if you want to live!"
Joanna's voice was so loud that it was giving him a headache.
In his opinion, all Joanna's voice would do was anger the cold-blooded animal in front of them.
