Chapter 674 You're Smiling Why?

Smart sat at the dinner table radiating accomplishment, reveling not so much in the taste of the food as in showing off. He wanted to flaunt his luxurious cuisine to the beauties and Daniel, who had settled for a simple grilled fish.

"Retard, you've been holding that slice of foie gras for ages; why aren't you eating it? You better get going before the flood comes. All that effort cooking, and you might not even get a taste!" Daniel teased.

"A flood? Where's the sound of rushing water, then? I haven't heard a thing," Smart challenged while preparing to eat the delicately held slice. Just at that moment, the unmistakable roar of water came crashing from upstream.

Smart's smug expression melted into panic. "What the hell? A flood now? Easton, you useless fool, didn't you say there would be no flood?"

In the ensuing chaos, Smart and his crew scrambled in all directions. But the raging torrent was too swift and unexpected, and they were washed away in the deluge. Smart, quicker than the others and luckily near a large tree, managed to cling on and scramble up to safety.

The flash flood retreated as quickly as it had attacked, sweeping away Smart's equipment and leaving him stranded on a tree branch. From his vine bed inside the cave, Daniel watched in amusement.

"Retard, I warned you a flood was coming, but you didn't listen. What

now? You've lost your crew and your gear You're left with absolutely nothing but yourself."

"Don't get smug, bumpkin!" Smart was defiant but had little choice but to grip the tree, unable to act.

Then, to Smart's horror, he spotted a snake-not just one, but a swarm of what looked like hundreds moving toward the cave.

As he witnessed the horrid

procession Smart couldn't help but

laugh triumphantly. His victory was short-lived though, as a thrill of laughter nearly sent him tumbling. Gripping the branch just in time, he remained perched high above.

"Retard, what's so funny?" Daniel called out.

"I'm laughing at you, idiot! Do you see your cave swarmed with snakes? Hundreds, no, thousands! Wait, more like tens of thousands!"

Smart wasn't exaggerating. His high vantage point gave him a clear view of an unending stream of snakes slithering this way.

As for why the snakes were

converging on them, Smart was clueless. Daniel, however, knew exactly why. With the presence of the Seven Dragon Spirits within hìm, he was the Son of the Seven

ve

Dragons. Dragons are revered by

snakes, and they were all now drawn to pay homage to the dragon's essence emanating from Daniel.
