My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 894

Tina turned around and found a bunch of the same mushrooms under the rotten leaves.

She handed the mushrooms to us and said, "These mushrooms can be eaten raw. We do it all the time in my hometown. Though it's not the most filling thing, it can at least relieve some of our hunger. Let's eat!"

As I watched them eat, I followed along, as I'd been hungry all day.

Naomi took a few bites and looked at Tina. "If we eat this, will we hallucinate? The news was saying that people in the southern region would take these hallucinogenic stuff every May or June of the year. I heard that people see all kinds of things when they're under hallucinogenic influence."

Tina laughed a little as she said, "If we don't mess around with it, there shouldn't be a problem." Rainie had found other kinds of mushrooms in the soil and asked, "Can these be eaten then?"

Tina nodded. "Yes, but these have to be cooked. If we eat them raw, we might get hallucinations."

"It's such a pity that we don't have lighters on us, or else we could've had a big Mother Nature's feast." Naomi sighed and stuffed some mushrooms into her mouth.

"Ah!" Dahlia shouted suddenly and we looked over at her, puzzled.

"What's wrong? Did you see God?" Naomi asked, a little annoyed.

Dahlia's face turned white. Her body stiffened as she said, "Snake, it's a green snake....."

At that moment, everyone followed her gaze and saw a small, green- colored snake about 50 centimeters long curled around a green leaf on a tree next to her. We wouldn't even have noticed it if we weren't paying attention. The snake seemed ready to strike as it slithered out its tongue.

"This snake's a poisonous one. Be careful!" Tina said, face pale.

Out of the corner of my eye, I scouted a broken branch with a sharp edge at the end.

"What do we do, what do we do? I'm losing it! I'm getting goosebumps everywhere." Naomi stuck very close to me as she grabbed my hands in fear.

I wanted to comfort her but I was scared too, especially knowing that it was poisonous.

"If we run now, can we make it?" Naomi began to scoot backwards as she spoke.

"It's too late!" Dahlia said as her voice trembled slightly. "It's a pit viper. It'll chase after us." "Damn it! But we can't just stand around, right?"

Rainie was so frightened that her body was trembling, her face ashen.

"Kill it!" Tina said. She looked small and weak, but her eyes were cold as she stared intently at the green snake under the leaves.

Dahlia was the closest to the snake. If she wasn't careful, it would bite her.

Her body trembled uncontrollably as she spoke, "Don't provoke it. I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? You pray all day and all night. God will protect you. Why are you scared?" Naomi said, bitingly sarcastic.

No one could afford to be distracted at a time like this.

Tina looked at Dahlia and said, "I'll count to three. Get ready to dodge from it. I'll throw rocks at it and see if I can hit it."

"Huh?"

Dahlia was on the verge of tears. "That's too risky. If you don't hit it, won't I die?"

"Can you think of anything else?" Tina retorted. Dahlia shook her head in despair.

"Let's bet on it then!" With that said, Tina squatted down slowly and picked up a weighty rock.

Dahlia was about to cry, but there was no other way out at the moment. She could only do what Tina told her to.

"One, two, three... dodge!" As soon as she finished counting, Dahlia jerked away.

The rock in Tina's hand came crashing down on the green snake.
