Chapter 255: Entering the Jungle

Additionally, there was her precious little Fanti, who could control rabbits and the cattle and sheep in her space, as well as those military dogs. She wondered if it could also make these venomous snakes submit.

Just at this moment, Fanti noticed its owner and waddled over with its short legs.

Without a doubt, Fanti wanted to be picked up the moment it saw its owner.

He Zhiran also felt the same; seeing such an adorable little creature, she instinctively wanted to hug and kiss it.

She indeed did so, showering the cute little one with affection before preparing a bowl of milk for it.

After Fanti had its fill, He Zhiran said to it, "Now that our little Fanti is full, can you help me out?"

"Mmm..."

"There are many snakes outside. Can you make them listen to you?"

"Mmm..."

"Alright, I'll rest for a bit and then take you out."

"Mmm..."

Fanti kept making "mmm" sounds, causing He Zhiran to laugh softly while hugging and petting it again.

After a long while, she let Fanti play by itself in the bamboo grove. She and Mo Jiuye had a simple meal and planned to take a short nap before heading out.

Although they intended to take a short nap, they woke up in the afternoon.

After tidying themselves up, they carried Fanti into the cave.

The sound of the snake swarm was still present. He Zhiran gently asked Fanti, "Baby, do you hear the snakes?"

"Mmm..."

Although Fanti's intelligence far exceeded He Zhiran's understanding, it was still a small animal and couldn't possess human intelligence. Its "mmm" seemed to startle the snake swarm.

The two stood still, feeling the sound gradually approaching them.

He Zhiran planned to have Fanti control the snakes, so she didn't sprinkle realgar powder on herself or Mo Jiuye before leaving the space.

She remained vigilant, ready to retreat back into the space if Fanti failed to control the snake swarm.

As the snake swarm drew closer, Fanti let out another howl, and the snakes immediately stopped moving.

At the same time, they realized the sheer number of snakes—there were thousands visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, He Zhiran had strong mental fortitude; otherwise, she would have been disgusted by the dense swarm of snakes.

The scene was indescribable, simply put, it was "disgusting."

For so many snakes to gather together, it was clear that Third Brother's visit had raised the guard of the people at Simeng Villa. To prevent further intrusions, they deliberately placed these snakes here.

While He Zhiran pondered, Fanti let out another roar towards the snake swarm, which began to form orderly lines, raising their heads and flicking their tongues.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye exchanged glances, knowing that Fanti had successfully controlled the snake swarm.

"Good boy, Fanti." He Zhiran couldn't resist giving Fanti a kiss on the forehead.

Fanti, delighted, started dancing and cuddling its owner's neck.

He Zhiran's sudden kiss was an uncontrollable gesture. At that moment, she still had tasks for Fanti to accomplish and couldn't keep cuddling the little one.

"Sweetie, make them follow us. Once we're outside the cave and safe, you can dismiss them."

"Mmm..."

Fanti made various funny faces and different sounds at the snake swarm, which then separated and stood to the sides.

Mo Jiuye held the proud Fanti in one hand and He Zhiran's hand in the other, walking through the path cleared by the snakes.

Exiting the cave, they found themselves facing a primeval forest with towering trees and a damp atmosphere.

On the surface, it appeared to be a place rarely visited by humans, but neither of them let their guard down.

Encountering the snake swarm served as a reminder that someone had interfered with their entry into Simeng Villa, and the journey ahead would likely be fraught with danger.

As He Zhiran thought about this, she sent Fanti back into the space and took out the prepared realgar powder, sprinkling it on herself and Mo Jiuye.

According to Third Brother, after leaving the cave, they needed to pass through the dense jungle to reach Simeng Villa.

With the snake swarm already encountered, it was possible that other dangers awaited in the jungle.

Speaking of other dangers, in such a place, they would likely encounter other creatures like snakes, insects, and rodents. The scent of realgar might not completely eliminate these pests but would give them some time to react.

Prepared, the couple ventured deeper into the jungle.

Initially, everything seemed fine, with the slippery moss-covered ground being the only issue. They didn't feel any immediate danger.

As they delved deeper into the jungle, a vast sea of flowers came into view, visually stunning.

Girls naturally love beautiful things, and He Zhiran was no exception.

However, she had no time to admire the beautiful flower sea because above it, a dense swarm of hornets circled.

The birds in the jungle seemed to have spotted the hornets and began flying toward the flower sea to feed on them.

He Zhiran had considered buying some insecticide from Taobao to deal with the hornets.

However, when she saw the birds hunting, she changed her mind.

The little Tuan Tuan, who had been sound asleep, was once again brought out of the space by its owner.

Tuan Tuan, suddenly awakened and unexpectedly moved to a new environment, immediately became unhappy and started to act spoiled.

He Zhiran patted its back tenderly and whispered soothingly, "Tuan Tuan, be good. I need your help."

Hearing that it was needed, the little one immediately became serious. It seemed to know that whenever it helped its owner, it would get more bowls of milk.

"Mmm... mmm..." Tuan Tuan seemed to say, "Owner, give me a task quickly!"

He Zhiran pointed in the direction of the sea of flowers and said, "There are swarms of hornets there. Can you call all the birds here to hunt them?"

She said this merely as a test, unsure if the little one could control the entire flock of birds in the forest.

But this was the simplest method, so she had to try.

Tuan Tuan blinked its black eyes a few times, then raised its nearly invisible little neck and howled toward the sky.

In the blink of an eye, countless birds flew in from all directions.

Tuan Tuan once again displayed its authority, barking at the flock of birds.

All the birds flying in from everywhere headed toward the sea of flowers, instantly covering the hornets.

After about five minutes, the sky above the sea of flowers finally quieted down. Not only did the swarms of hornets disappear, but the birds also flew away in different directions.
