There was no escape in the face of death.
Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin had their eyes closed, for they could do nothing but accept this their unchangeable fate.
The rest of the group were in despair as well. Although it was Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin who were the ones about to die, the passage was blocked enabling nobody from escaping as well. This would cause them to also share a similar fate.
"Huh?"
But something completely unexpected happened.
The Blackwater Mystical Snake's opened it's mouth and stopped abruptly jsut as it was above Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin's head. It's mouth suddenly snapped shut. The viper then turned away and slid to the space behind the jade door where it came from.
"Wh… What happened?"
Everyone was stumped. Had the Blackwater Mystical Snake gone insane? One moment it was trying to kill everyone, and the next, it turned around and left them alone.
