Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Cruel and Fierce Ancient Beast, Hook Snake

The two quickened their pace, and Lun Wenbin approached them, asking in a low voice, "What happened?"

Qin Ruan shook her head at him, her small face solemn and serious.

Looking into her eyes, filled with a profound cold light, the already anxious Xu Enhao’s face turned even paler.

He went over to Xia Yunchen, the worry evident in his voice, "Yunchen, are you okay?"

The latter frowned, "I’m fine."

Xia Yunchen’s face was taut. He had been surrounded by a cold feeling earlier, which had given him chills.

Now that the cold sensation had disappeared, he began to doubt whether what had happened was real.

Always ready to worry about something, was the little girl intentionally creating a spooky atmosphere?

The four people strode forward and quickly entered the mansion’s living room.

Qin Ruan fell one step behind and closed the door herself.

No one saw that the moment the door closed completely, a golden light extended from her hand.

The Nether Divine Power was wrapped around the door, not allowing the evil spirits to easily approach.

As Qin Ruan turned around, her deep cold eyes look towards Xia Yunchen, the severity of the situation evident on her face.

Lun Wenbin had once seen a Qin Ruan, as cold and ruthless as a frozen abyss, when they were searching for the Paranormal Exploration Team in the undeveloped area of Qi Mountain.

But at that time, Qin Ruan’s expression and attitude were not as serious as they were now.

At present, she was emanating a dangerous aura, as if a storm was brewing.

Having adjusted his emotions and regained his composure, Xia Yunchen felt his heart race under Qin Ruan’s cold gaze, and was inexplicably nervous.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Xu Enhao sensed that something was off and decided to ask.

Qin Ruan clenched her teeth, cursing a filthy word under her breath.

The trouble that Xia Yunchen had brought was bigger than she had expected.

Just now in the yard, as Xia Yunchen removed his mask, she clearly saw the ancient beast that was clinging tightly to his back.

There are ten divine beasts from the ancient times.

These ten divine beasts are the "Sun Illuminator" and "Yin Luminary" depicted on bronze vessels and the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, Yellow Dragon, Yinglong, Teng Snake, and Hook Chen documented in ancient books.

According to another version, the ten deities were Baize, Kui, Phoenix, Kylin, Taowu, Xiezhi, Hui, Bird of Brightness, Bifang, Taotie, and Feifei.

All these deities are recorded in folk histories.

Regardless of who the actual ten divine beasts are, what Qin Ruan saw on Xia Yunchen was a Hook Snake, one of the ferocious beasts of ancient times recorded in folk history.

It is typically about twenty metres long. Unlike other snakes, it is covered in scales, rendering it invulnerable to weapons.

The key feature is the split hook at the end of its tail, much like an enlarged scorpion tail, and it contains potent venom.

Its predation method is unique. It uses its tail hook to latch onto its prey and then swallows it.

The Hook Snake is an amphibian, preferring to live underwater. It has a violent and belligerent nature, ruthless and cruel, making it an extraordinarily ferocious ancient beast!

It usually hides in water near mountain streams, indiscriminately using its tail hook to catch creatures by the shore for food.

When it cannot hunt for food on the shore, the Hook Snake would emerge from the water, invading human dwellings to prey on people and livestock.

In the yard, Qin Ruan could feel the Hook Snake that was clinging to Xia Yunchen, emitting a strong demonic energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

Even an envoy from the Netherworld had to be careful around such an ancient beast, let alone a beginner like Qin Ruan.

The ten million that Xia Yunchen offered for this job was not at all extravagant. It was, in truth, blood money.

Facing such a savage and ferocious ancient beast, only a reawakened ancient ghostbuster could hope to tame it.

Sweat broke out on Qin Ruan’s palms as she silently swallowed.
