Chapter 998
The number of snakes surrounding them increased. Kelvin threw Krystal off his back.
Before she could react to that, he pressed her head onto the ground abruptly.
She was livid. "What are you-"
"Shut up!"
He hushed her before pleading, "Please stop blowing the flute. She knows that she’s wrong. She will not do it again.
Stop those snakes from coming at us!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe lowered his voice, threatening Krystal, "If you don't wanna die, beg for mercy right now! Otherwise, we won't be
able to get out of this village."
The sound of snakes hissing echoed in the woods.
Krystal had never witnessed such a sight before. She wasn't even wearing protective gear.
The snakes didn't stop in their tracks.
Kelvin grabbed her ponytail to press her head onto the ground again. "I am so sorry, miss. Please show us mercy. If
your mother finds out about this, she won't be happy, will she?"
As he had expected, the sound of the flute stopped as soon as he said that. The snakes ceased, too.
Still, it gave them goosebumps to have so many snakes staring at them.
Willow was still a kid, after all. The person she cared the most was Olivia.
The first time Willow used her ability was when she was two. Olivia had gone to the mountains to harvest herbs at
that time.
The smell of animal-repellent powder on her subsided because she stayed in the mountains for too long.
A leopard sneakily attacked her from behind. Even though she reacted quickly, her arms were scratched.
Her blood splattered onto the little girl in the pack basket.
Willow's eyes widened. No one told her what to do, but she managed to call upon the insects, rats, snakes, and
birds nearby in a fit of pique.
That leopard was bitten to death, leaving only its bones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia wasn't surprised by the leopard but by her daughter instead.
Willow could still remember Olivia's look back then. It was the look in which one was watching a monster.
That look merely lasted for a few seconds before Olivia hugged Willow and comforted her.
Nevertheless, it wrenched Willow's heart every time she recalled Olivia's gaze back then.
Kelvin was right. Olivia wouldn't want Willow to misuse her ability.
Willow blew the flute again. The melody slowly turned into a soft tune.
The snakes retreated like a withdrawing wave that pounded against the beach.
The red snake picked Willow up from the tree. When they were about to reach the ground, the barefooted Willow
jumped off it and landed before Krystal.
