Nan Xun was stunned. Although she had seen a video of a python swallowing a deer whole before, the shock from seeing it with her own eyes was far greater!
The middle of the pythonâs belly was distended and became a little deformed.
Nan Xun knew that was⊠AâBao.
After Nan Xun was shocked, she watched the python swallow AâBao, and her expression became calm, or rather indifferent.
She had no time to intervene, but in her heart, she didnât want to for this kind of damn person.
âAhââ
Nan Xun suddenly returned to her senses when she heard a piercing scream.
Just now, her attention was focused on the fight between AâBao and the python, so she didnât notice anyone approaching.
The woman who screamed was AâXiang. Beside her stood AâHua, with both of them looking frightened.
When they noticed Nan Xun saw them, they turned around and ran away quickly.
Nan Xun opened her mouth because she had a bad premonition, and immediately caught up with them.
The two looked back and found that she was chasing them, and screamed nonstop while rushing back to the tribe at the fastest speed in their lives.
Nan Xun: âŠ
When Nan Xun returned, the men had already returned from hunting. AâXiang whispered something to the men, but Nan Xun was too far away to hear it. When she approached, the men raised their spears at her.
Nan Xun slightly scrunched her brows. She glanced around for a while but didnât see AâMang in the crowd.
âWhat about AâMang? Why didnât he come back?â Nan Xun asked the men who had gone hunting together.
The men looked at her solemnly. No one replied for a while, until AâHuaâs man finally explained, âAâMang found a large sabretooth tiger and wounded it. But that tiger ran away so he pursued it alone. We couldnât catch up, so we returned first.â
When Nan Xun heard this, her heart sank.
AâMang had caught several sabretooth tigers before, and had vast experience. Nan Xun wasnât worried about his safety. She was worried about what the cannibals would do to her during AâMangâs absence.
Sure enough, AâXiang fell to her knees with a thump and began to cry. She pointed at Nan Xun and howled, âShe instructed a snake to swallow AâBao. This woman watched as AâBao was eaten by the python little by little. The python didnât eat her. They must be companions! It was terrible, terrible. She must be a witch sent by demons. She will kill the warriors in the tribe one by oneâŠâ
If only AâXiang had witnessed the giant python swallowing people, the tribe wouldnât believe her. After all, AâXiang had always envied AâXi because she was AâMangâs woman. However, AâHua also saw it.
When everyone looked at AâHua with questioning eyes, she turned pale, glanced at AâXi, and nodded with difficulty.
The tribe got an affirmative answer, and their gaze towards Nan Xun changed. They became distant and alert, their eyes bursting with hatred and killing intent.
âBut AâXi isnât a witch ah. She taught us how to make pottery bowls, found a lot of food, and told me many stories,â a child suddenly said.
As soon as the child finished speaking, his mouth was firmly covered by his AâMu.
When it came to witchcraft, nobody dared stand up to speak for Nan Xun.
She had just instructed a python to swallow AâBao, a famous warrior in the tribe, and their people even witnessed it, so it couldnât be wrong.
AâXiang fiercely glared at Nan Xun and angrily said, âThose were just methods the witch used in order to confuse us. Her purpose is to destroy all the warriors of our cannibal tribe, then let the remaining women, children, and elderly all starve to death. Sheâs a witch sent by the demons!â
Witches and demons were the entities hated most by the ancients in this world. They firmly believed that diseases were spread by witches and demons, thinking that they always wanted to take human lives.
Once upon a time, there was a tribe that completely died within ten days. Some people said it was witches who were sent by the demons to exterminate that tribe.
Nan Xun was really regretful now. Your mother, this one called AâXiang should really have been killed sooner!
âAâBao was really killed by that giant python but it has nothing to do with me.â Nan Xun said, her face openly had a look of disdain and disgust. âIn fact, AâBao came to the river today and almost raped me. If it wasnât for the sudden appearance of the python, I would have been raped by him. This kind of man deserves to die!â
AâXiang screamed, âYou all heard it! This woman admits that AâBao was killed by that python and that it was instigated by her! The python avoided her and directly attacked AâBao! Sheâs a witch! Sheâs a witch!â
Nan Xun: âŠ
âI said AâBao almost raped me! You people donât understand? That python wasnât instigated by me! It was he who angered the python himself, so he was eaten by that python!â Nan Xun tried to explain.
However, the tribeâs entire focus was on the latter sentence. It didnât matter whether AâBao wanted to rape her or not. She was a witch, and this matter alone made people shun her.
Why did the python leave her alone, and only swallow AâBao? The answer was obvious.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, âBurn the witch!â
Then, the other clansmen followed suit. âBurn the witch! Burn this foreign woman!â
Nan Xun looked at the ferocious crowd that clamored to burn her. It wasnât long ago that they were all laughing along with her, but now they wanted to kill her. Even AâHua, who had a mild temperament, was indifferent.
This made Nan Xun feel cold.
But she also understood that the ancients were ignorant, not to mention these people.
So, Nan Xun made a very wise decision the next second.
Without a word, she turned around and ran.
This was the second time that day that she was being cowardly, but there was nothing that could be done. Nan Xun wasnât going to let these people grab and tie her up to be burned on a stake.
If AâMang doesnât return, itâs likely that these resentful people will act first then report later. She must save her life before that.
The cannibals couldnât help but be dumbfounded. They obviously didnât expect the woman to run. She didnât look like a witch.
The men immediately chased after her with their spears.
Nan Xun was glad that it was dark now, and that these ancient people hadnât invented torches yet. She quickly jumped through the grass and ran deep into the jungle.
Nan Xun didnât know for how long she ran. Because of the dim light, she tripped over several times, but she didnât dare stop. She continued to run the entire time.
Gradually, the pursuit of the men behind her diminished as the sounds of their footsteps became smaller. Finally, their shouts could no longer be heard, only the chirping of nearby insects.
Nan Xun gasped and found refuge in a cave, but she didnât go in immediately. She took a few stones and threw them into it.
After a while, Nan Xun hadnât seen any fierce beasts leave the cave, so she went into the it with confidence.
âLittle Eight? Little Eight!â Nan Xun quickly called.
Little Eight still didnât make a sound, and seemed to still be in closed door cultivation.
The surroundings were dark, and Nan Xun didnât have Little Eightâs plug-ins to help keep an eye on her safety. Even if she was very tired, she didnât dare fall asleep.
It was terrible that those ignorant people wanted to burn her to death!
Happy ah, obviously before they were happy and polite with her, but now they suddenly turned hostile.
