Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 290 Snake Encounter

Snake?

Milly caught what Stephanie was staring at and immediately looked like she saw a ghost.

The Umbra Viper is infamous for being the deadliest snake around.

But what's it doing here? These snakes are usually found in hot, dry places, not here.

"Freeze, don't freak it out or anything, just pretend you never saw it. Critters like this tend to leave people alone unless they feel threatened, Milly whispered. Stephanie managed to calm down and looked away, doing her best to ignore the snake.

Milly looked away, realising now wasn't the time to bolt. She tried to act like she wasn't bothered by the snake, all while keeping an eye on what it was up to. The snake seemed intrigued by her, making its way out of the bushes, looping around the area close to her, and then sliding back into the grass.

Milly breathed out in relief.

you alone.

Usually, once a snake gets bored, it leaves you

When she started to relax, though, she picked up on a rustling noise again. The snake returned, this time weirdly balancing a wildflower on its tail.

Milly couldn't stop a smirk from forming because of the snake's surprising act.

It came closer, gently set the wildflower down at her feet, and then looked up at her, almost like it was waiting for something or asking a silent question.

Milly caught what she thought was a silent plea in the snake's gaze.

She cradled the beaten-up wildflower, probably a present from the serpent, finding it hard to find the right words. "Is this for me?"

The snake seemed a tad shy, bowing its head.

And then, it slithered off into the shrubbery, making a sharp noise like it hit a rock on the way out.

Milly was left in awe, speechless.

Meanwhile, Stephanie, who had missed the whole encounter, cautiously peered around. Noticing the absence of the snake, she exhaled in relief, "Has the snake taken off?"

Milly, pocketing the wildflower, simply murmured, "Seems like it

Still, Milly quickly intervened, advising, "Hold up, those are deadly nightshade berries. They're poisonous!"

time? You're not pulling another fast one on me, are you?"

Milly, clearly annoyed, lectured her, "Seriously, don't you have any common sense? Eating random fruits out in the wilderness, especially in dense forests, is bad. Has the rain made you lose your mind? Or do you just like being reckless!"

"If you really want to eat that, be my guest. But do me a favour and keep your distance afterwards so your don't make me sick."

Watching Stephanie's recklessness only added to Milly's irritation.

When she got the chance to go back to her own world, she swore to call out the clueless writer behind this novel. Why do they keep writing such silly female leads? And always putting the side characters in danger? Right after she aired her grievances, the snake she thought had disappeared made a comeback, poking its head out. Whether it was her imagination or not, Milly couldn't help but notice the snake's head looked more prominent than before.

Was it because of the bump earlier?

The snake made its way over to the fruit Stephanie had thrown away, coiled around it, and before Milly could do anything, its teeth sank into the fruit.

In no time, the snake had gobbled up the small fruit.

Milly was speechless.

It ate the poisoned fruit. If a poisonous thing cats another poison, it's supposed to be okay, right?

Just as she thought about this, the snake moved its tail, took a few steps, and spit out some venom before falling to the ground with a heavy fall. Was it dead from the poison?

Milly was left without words again.

Is this snake, not the brightest?

Watching from the side, Stephanie saw the snake motionless after eating the poisonous fruit. A gleam of satisfaction crossed her eyes. "Perfect."

Then, she picked up a large rock, clenched her teeth, and lifted it high to smash it down on the snake with all her might.

Milly's eyes widened, "What are you doing? Put that down!"

Stephanie explained, "Now that it's knocked out, we should get rid of it before it wakes up later."

"No!" Milly quickly said.

The snake wasn't aggressive towards them and wasn't a danger, so killing it seemed wrong.

Plus, there was something odd about the snake.

Even though Milly was all about science and facts, not about gods or spirits, she still felt it was essential to

With that, she lifted the rock again.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Despite the pain in her ankle, Milly tried to stand, but her leg couldn't hold her up.

But she was too far. She barely

Bang!

Milly fell to the ground.
