Yang Xin had not taken a few steps when Yang Lin's shouts came from behind.
"Alright, alright! I'll tell you, won't I?"
"Then tell me!" Yang Xin turned and looked at him.
Yang Lin had no choice and carefully rummaged through his backpack.
The next moment, several silver snake eggs appeared in his hand.
Each snake egg was as large as an adult's fist, with some golden patterns on it.
"Yang Lin!" Yang Xin glared at him.
"This thing looks extraordinary. I just wanted to take it back to show Elder Su. Perhaps it's something amazing?" Yang Lin explained. "I'm doing this to make Grandpa happy. If this is truly a good thing, and we hand it over to the main family, it would also be a good thing for our branch, wouldn't it?"
"Then why didn't you say so just now?"
"This..." Yang Lin stammered.
"Hmph!" Seeing the evasive expression on Yang Lin's face, Yang Xin immediately guessed, "Did you want to take all the credit for yourself?"
"How can you say that? Aren't my contributions your contributions? We are siblings, after all!"
Seeing that Yang Lin was about to argue with her again, Yang Xin couldn't stand it. If it weren't for the special circumstances today, she would have surely reasoned with Yang Lin.
Then she turned to Lin Xiao Tian, a look of apology on her face.
"I'm sorry, we lied to you just now. Now, can you see if there's any way?"
When Yang Xin spoke, she used "we" and directly referred to Yang Lin, which made Lin Xiao Tian look at the woman in front of him a few more times.
She was beautiful and elegant, and also very humble. Lin Xiao Tian truly wondered if she and that Yang Lin were really siblings.
"Give me the snake eggs, and return the items to Bai Kui. It will not chase you anymore. Otherwise, before you leave the forest, you will never have a moment of peace."
Yang Xin nodded, then looked at Yang Lin.
"Wait, why should I believe you? What if you're lying to me?" Yang Lin looked at Lin Xiao Tian warily. "The white snake isn't here now, maybe it's just left?"
Lin Xiao Tian shook his head, thinking that Yang Lin was truly fearless of death.
In this forest, a beast like Bai Kui was the undisputed king. Even Lin Xiao Tian dared not provoke it. In the age of cold weapons, such a monster was a nightmare for humans.
Even today, without sufficient equipment, facing Bai Kui would only lead to annihilation!
"Since that's the case, I won't force it. I'll be leaving first!" Lin Xiao Tian gave Yang Lin a thumbs-up and quickly retreated.
Faintly, he felt something approaching from a distance.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that white snake.
Bai Kui had another name: Bai Long!
This beast was not only powerful in combat but also possessed high intelligence. Lin Xiao Tian did not dare to conflict with such a monster.
However, it was a pity to see a living person in front of him. Lin Xiao Tian had originally wanted to take this opportunity to trade for the Longevity Grass with them, but now he could only take it from their corpses.
As he was leaving, Lin Xiao Tian specifically reminded Yang Xin.
"Remember to stay away from him. You didn't touch the snake eggs, and you didn't actively attack Bai Kui, so it won't do anything to you."
After Lin Xiao Tian finished speaking, he disappeared from his original spot in a short while.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Yang Xin looked at Yang Lin helplessly and was about to leave when a sharp sound suddenly reached her ears.
Hiss~
Yang Xin suddenly turned around and saw a white snake's face spitting its tongue at her.
Yang Xin was so frightened that she collapsed onto the ground. Just as she was about to use a stone to attack, she suddenly remembered Lin Xiao Tian's words, so she stopped herself from moving.
As expected, Bai Kui just swayed in front of her and then bypassed her.
Immediately after, Bai Kui slid forward rapidly, encircling Yang Lin in an instant.
Yang Lin's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Yang... Xin... Save me... Ah!"
"Quickly return the snake eggs to it," Yang Xin reminded him.
But Yang Lin was already terrified out of his wits. Although his backpack was unzipped, his hands refused to obey him. After a long struggle, he still couldn't take out the snake eggs.
Seeing this, Bai Kui roared, clearly thinking that Yang Lin was unwilling to hand them over.
"Sigh! You're truly useless!" Yang Xin cursed.
The next moment, she shouted into the forest.
"Sir, we need your help! If you can help us, our Yang family will surely repay you handsomely!"
However, the surroundings were silent, and there was no movement.
Seeing that Bai Kui had already opened its bloody maw, Yang Xin shouted again.
"Anything?" Lin Xiao Tian's voice suddenly came.
Just as Yang Xin was about to respond, Yang Lin preempted her.
"Anything! Brother, hurry, I can't hold on!"
Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly.
The next moment, he leaped forward and appeared in front of Yang Lin.
Lin Xiao Tian snatched Yang Lin's backpack and took out a snake egg.
As soon as Bai Kui saw the snake egg, it stopped moving, but Lin Xiao Tian could tell that it was even more agitated now.
However, with the snake egg in hand, Lin Xiao Tian believed that Bai Kui would not dare to attack him casually.
So he said to Yang Lin behind him, "I want the Longevity Grass you collected!"
"Okay! No problem! How much do you want, it's not a problem!" Yang Lin immediately replied.
Lin Xiao Tian remained skeptical and looked at Yang Xin.
Seeing that Yang Xin also nodded in agreement, Lin Xiao Tian finally felt a little relieved.
Then, in front of Bai Kui, he took out the snake eggs one by one.
Lin Xiao Tian arranged the snake eggs in a row in front of Bai Kui and then retreated.
Bai Kui confronted Lin Xiao Tian warily for a while, and finally stepped forward, gently holding the snake eggs in its mouth.
However, after obtaining the snake eggs, Bai Kui did not leave but continued to confront Lin Xiao Tian.
"What's going on? Why hasn't it left? Hurry and think of a solution!" Yang Lin trembled and grabbed Lin Xiao Tian's leg, fearing that Lin Xiao Tian would run away.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at Yang Lin speechlessly, thinking that he was quite skilled at this action, and was probably a sycophant in his daily life.
After another moment of disdain for Yang Lin, Lin Xiao Tian looked up at Bai Kui.
The green energy on his body surged silently.
"You've already killed two people and gotten the snake eggs. Aren't you satisfied?"
Lin Xiao Tian finished speaking and flicked his finger.
A golden needle shot out from his fingertip silently, grazing Bai Kui's forehead and embedding itself in the tree trunk behind it.
Finally, Bai Kui obediently left.
Lin Xiao Tian, relieved, patted Yang Lin at his feet, "You can let go now."
Yang Lin still held on, looking warily at the direction Bai Kui had gone. "How do you guarantee it won't come back?"
"Although it's a beast, it's much more trustworthy than some people," Lin Xiao Tian said, looking at Yang Lin.
Being looked at like that, Yang Lin became angry.
"Hmph! The deal just now is off! Don't even think about the Longevity Grass!"
