Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Save Him, He Might Still Survive
Scarlett Jennings’ words startled both Rose Spencer and Floral Serpent, and before the two snakes could react, she quickly moved forward, directly placing a hand on the Snake Egg in Rose Spencer’s arms.
Strangely, the struggling Floral Serpent stopped all its motions.
No matter how angry it was inside, no matter how much it doubted that she was deceiving it to buy time.
But… because she said its child might still be alive, it couldn’t help but want to believe her.
It wasn’t out of faith in her, it just desperately hoped its child could still live.
With both Rose Spencer and Floral Serpent holding their breath and growing quiet, Scarlett Jennings sensed through her palm and truly captured an extremely faint Soul Breath from the Snake Egg!
This indicated that the Fetal Soul hadn’t completely dissipated!
However… reviving it was nearly impossible.
The remaining Soul Breath was too faint, like a wisp of smoke that might disperse directly at the slightest touch.
It’s only a matter of time before it completely vanishes.
Is there any way to stabilize this Soul Breath and bring back the Fetal Soul?
Scarlett Jennings quickly pondered feasible solutions in her mind.
If it were an ordinary soul, she might try.
But this was a Fetal Soul, and a demon’s Fetal Soul at that; Scarlett wasn’t sure it would work.
As she was contemplating, she suddenly felt a gentle warmth emanating from the North Spirit Stone on her chest, flowing into her body through her meridians and seemingly arriving at her palm.
Her palm tingled slightly, and Scarlett Jennings instinctively tried to transmit that warmth using her Spiritual Power to the Snake Egg beneath her palm.
In the next moment.
Whoosh.
The previously almost imperceptible Soul Breath faintly dispersed a noticeable aroma.
Although still very weak, as the mother, Floral Serpent sensed it first, its snake eyes trembled, transforming from vertical pupils into normal ones, eagerly looking in Scarlett Jennings’ direction.
Scarlett Jennings sensed it too, realizing it was truly effective; she steadied her mind and directly signaled Rose Spencer to hand her the Snake Egg.
Rose Spencer managed to sense something at this point, and without saying a word, immediately handed the entire Snake Egg to Scarlett Jennings.
Without hesitation, Scarlett Jennings sat cross-legged, placing the Snake Egg on her lap, holding it with both hands, and then actively attempted to draw out the purified Demon Energy from the North Spirit Stone, bit by bit, wrapping the weak Soul Breath within the Snake Egg with her palm.
The Soul Breath inside the Snake Egg gradually became more apparent as it was enveloped by the purified Demon Energy.
Both Rose Spencer and Floral Serpent visibly showed delightful surprise.
Nearby, Alistair Lester and his mother were clueless, but seeing the surrounding snake army still glare like protectors, they dared not move.
Until suddenly, there came a fire alarm sound from outside.
It was Landon Lester who called them.
Upon hearing that a large number of snakes appeared by the villa, the firefighters specially brought flamethrowers as requested by the caller, yet were horrified when they arrived on site by the presence of the snake army.
This situation was clearly not normal.
Everyone couldn’t help but look suspiciously at Landon Lester, wondering if this family had provoked something terrible.
Landon Lester hid behind the firefighters, urging them nonstop,
“My wife and son are still inside, hurry and eliminate these snakes and rescue them!”
Scarlett Jennings had just used a Fire Talisman to create a passage that was still there, but Landon Lester dreaded the snake army on both sides and dared not go over; he could only wait for the firefighters to arrive.
He had seen that there were quite a few venomous snakes among the snake army!
Some could deliver a lethal bite, possibly ending a life before they even reached the hospital!
He dared not take risks.
The firefighters also couldn’t rashly proceed, needing to wear protective suits!
Landon Lester unsatisfiedly approached and ripped at one of the firefighters, cursing and swearing,
“How long will it take you to finish equipping?! Just go in with the flamethrower!
I pay so much tax every year, now I need you and you’re stalling! Believe it or not, I’ll complain about you?!
I’m telling you! If you waste time and harm my wife and son, I won’t let you off!”
The firefighter captain’s face sank, stepping forward and separating Landon Lester from the firefighter he was pulling at.
“Please do not hinder us!”
Knowing about the snake army, two firefighters had already suited up on the way, but the sheer number of snakes was overwhelming; just two firefighters weren’t enough.
Once they act, the scattering snake army would cause even greater trouble.
They had to ensure the snake army would be surrounded from all directions.
Landon Lester didn’t care about their preparations, chastising the firefighter captain thoroughly.
The firefighter captain felt frustrated but couldn’t ignore him.
The commotion outside had long attracted the attention of those inside, fearing that the noise would affect Scarlett Jennings’ efforts to save their Snake Treasure.
Upon hearing the loudest culprit was nearly the man who killed its child, Landon Lester, Floral Serpent’s snake eyes once again gave a dangerous signal, opening its mouth to hiss snake speech, commanding the snake army with demonic power.
“Hiss…”
Just as Floral Serpent hissed, Scarlett Jennings, focused on repairing the Fetal Soul, suddenly spoke without lifting her head,
“No harming.”
Floral Serpent: …
Unwillingly changing the command, only to see the previously poised Five Step Snakes and Silver Serpents on the villa’s exterior halt their actions, replaced by the movement of dozens of non-poisonous Grass Snakes, mixed with a few mildly venomous snakes.
These snakes suddenly sprang into action, seemingly target-focused, rushing directly at Landon Lester.
“Ahhh!”
Landon Lester exclaimed in surprise, instinctively pulling the firefighter captain in front of him.
The firefighter captain cursed inwardly but adhered to the commitment to saving lives, turning to tightly shield Landon Lester as the snake army lunged.
“Captain!!”
The firefighters’ eyes burned with rage; their captain wasn’t wearing a protective suit!
Watching the captain being covered in dozens of snakes to protect that man, all firefighters, regardless of their attire, rushed swiftly to manually pull the snakes off the captain.
Fortunately, although the snakes reached the captain, they didn’t bite him.
Instead, the man protected by the captain, Landon Lester, howled in pain, bitten repeatedly by several snakes bypassing the firefighter captain.
Inside the villa, pleased to hear the cries they desired, then hearing the firefighters planning to resort to flames, Floral Serpent finally glanced at Rose Spencer.
Rose Spencer immediately emitted Demon Energy, simultaneously issuing snake language commands.
The crowd watched as the dense snake army surrounding the villa suddenly withdrew like a receding tide.
The nearby crowd screamed in terror, yet the snakes showed no intention to attack.
Avoiding people, they slithered into grass and sewage, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
As sudden as their appearance.
The firefighters outside gazed at each other, puzzled.
As they planned to enter the house to check, the door slowly opened, revealing Scarlett Jennings holding a Snake Egg.
Her expression remained calm; she faced the firefighters, slowly pulling out an ID,
“Thank you for coming; the Security Bureau has handled the troubles here.”
She paused, suddenly looking at Landon Lester lying on the ground.
Seeing he had multiple bloody holes from being bitten by venomous snakes, and his wounds already starting to swell and turn purple.
Scarlett Jennings, rarely showing kindness, suggested,
“Why not, take him to the hospital first.”
Save him, he might still survive.
