Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 4891: Falling

Chapter 4891: Falling

She recognized them—these were the very lions that had attacked the lion in her space just days ago.

She recalled Xiao Junyan did mention that those who entered this place should carry a teleportation jade token at their waist. Her gaze swept over the youth, who was panting slightly and wounded, but she saw no such token.

“Roaaaaaar!”

The lion showed remarkable patience with its prey, toying with him rather than pouncing to kill him outright. Instead, it watched as he struggled.

Xiao Junheng bit his lip as he retreated. After prolonged combat, his stamina waned, compounded by his injuries, causing his steps to falter. To make matters worse, the teleportation jade token that could have saved his life had been torn from his waist during the earlier fight, lost to who knew where.

Yue’er watched the battle unfold ahead. The youth wore a crescent-moon-patterned robe and possessed striking features, though his strength seemed notably weaker.

Hmm, at least he was far weaker than that Xiao Junyan she’d encountered earlier. Yet the two appeared to be only a year or two apart in age—how could their abilities differ so drastically?

As she debated whether to intervene, a faint hissing sound reached her ears. A sudden chill brushed her neck, and instinctively, she reached out. Her hand closed around the head of a finger-thick, emerald-green venomous snake, its tail coiled tightly around her arm. The creature flickered its tongue, hissing menacingly at her.

“Trying to bite me?” Yue’er gazed at the green venomous snake with a playful smile, her voice soft and sweet. “I hold grudges, you know!” As she spoke, she drew a dagger from her sleeve and thrust it directly into the snake’s vital spot.

“Hiss!”

The snake hissed in agony. The dagger’s thrust and the snake’s convulsive writhing severed its body cleanly in two. One half fell to the ground, while Yue’er clutched the head section in her hand.

“Oh, my snake gallbladder!” Spotting the severed body, Yue’er leapt down after it, intending to retrieve the venomous snake’s gallbladder.

Little did she know, as she landed, her entire body landed squarely atop a lion that had been fixated on its human prey.

The sudden appearance of a tiny figure tumbling from the tree stunned not only the lion, now unexpectedly ridden atop its head, but also the youth leaning against the tree trunk, gasping for breath.

His expression shifted even more sharply when he realized the fallen figure was none other than a little girl, no older than five or six.

“Get down! Come behind me!”

He shouted urgently, trying to reach out and pull the little girl off the lion’s back. But suddenly, one of the lions lunged forward, charging at him. The impact forced him to shift his focus to fending off the lion.

“Roaaaaar!”

At that moment, another lion roared and lunged at the human child who had landed on its back.

“Watch out!” Xiao Junheng bit down, desperate to rush to the rescue but unable to break free.

Yue’er looked at the lion lunging toward her. Suddenly, a mischievous smile spread across her face. She flung the snake head she’d been clutching tightly, sending it straight into the lion’s gaping jaws.

Though the venomous snake had been severed at the body, its head remained open. Flung toward the lion, it snapped at the snake almost reflexively. The snake’s fangs sank into the lion’s tongue, the venom seeping into its flesh. In that instant, the lion let out a piercing, agonized roar.
