The tall, thin man only moved for a moment because he was already dead in his boat, his body swollen completely, like an inflated balloon.
It turned out that the venom from the snake's bite, or young dragon, was no less potent than the poison contained in the needle thrown by Thousand Poison Devil. The situation became even more chaotic as the young dragon disappeared again.
Boats milled about near its disappear spot, and everyone scanned the water, searching for the young dragon that had escaped and dived. With everyone absorbed in their search for the "young dragon" the situation became eerily quiet.
The boats were all silent, and no one made a sound, as if afraid that any noise will cause the young dragon, which had previously shown itself but refused to reappeared.
The tension mounted, as everyone understood that to fight over the young dragon, the martial art world figures would not hesitate to rob and kill, as Black Face and then Thousand Poison Devil had done.
It was this silence that caused the girl's voice to be heard.
"Hey! My fishing bait have been taken!" This cry was filled with great joy, and Bu Giok Cu, who had been fishing, oblivious to her surroundings, seemed to be struggling to hold her rod, causing the rod to bend, forcing Giok Cu to exert all her strength to hold herself still.
"Wow, the fish is so big and strong...!" she said, and at that moment, her body fell into the water, carried away by the fish's strong pull on her fishing rod, and she refused to let go of the rod.
"Byuuuuurrrrr...!"
The two families were shocked. However, Han Beng was the first to act. Seeing his new friend fall into the water, he wasted no time and quick releasing the paddle and jumping into the water. As a fisherman's son, Han Beng was a skilled swimmer, as was Giok Cu, whose village was located on the riverbank.
"Iiiiihhhh! Snake... Snake..." Giok Cu screamed and swam away.
However, the snake that had become the victim of her fishing hook seemed angry. Because the girl had forgotten to let go of the rod, the snake was dragged along, and it used its long body to wrap itself around Giok Cu! The girl screamed in disgust and fear.
At that time, Han Beng had already swam close. Seeing the girl was wrapped around by a snake as big as a parent's arm with one and a half meters long, making her unable to swim anymore and stuttering.
Han Beng then felt worry and become reckless. He grabbed the snake's neck and pulled the coils to be released from Giok Cu's body! That snake indeed released its coils on Giok Cu's body, but now angrily moved his head and his mouth opened has bitten Han Beng's shoulder!
The intense pain made his body feel convulsive and hot, as if thousands of fiery ants were biting him. His shoulders felt like they were on fire. Han Beng suddenly became furious with the snake.
The snake's head was still attached to his shoulder, and its body began to wrap around his chest and neck. He became reckless and, using all his strength, grabbed the snake's body, pulled it close to his mouth, and bit its neck.
As he bit down with all his might, piercing the snake's slippery, fishy skin, he tasted something sweet and fishy in his mouth. It was snake blood!
He remembered that the snake was still biting him, and his shoulder ached terribly. In his anger, to get even with the snake, he bit down even harder and sucked out the snake's blood, swallowing it in gulps!
Strangely, as soon as he swallowed the snake's blood, his heart felt happy! "Feel you," he thought. "If necessary, we'll die together!" He continued sucking without loosening his grip.
Meanwhile, seeing his friend was bitten on the shoulder by a snake and its body wrapped around him, Giok Cu didn't stay silent. Han Beng had helped her release the snake's coils. Now she wouldn't stay silent, imitating Han Beng's actions by biting the snake's neck.
Giok Cu couldn't help because she didn't have a weapon, so her only weapon was her teeth, and she bit the snake's tail with all her might! And like Han Beng, she tasted the snake's blood, sweet and fishy, but she didn't release her bite and even sucked, allowing a little of the snake's blood to enter her stomach!
Initially, the martial art world leaders had been frowning and angry at the commotion caused by a young girl. But when they saw that the one who had been hooked was the young dragon that they were fighting over, everyone was shocked, and the boats came rushing in.
Due to the large number of boats, chaos ensued, and some boats collided! This slowed their approach to Han Beng and Giok Cu, who were wrestling with the snake, which the martial art world characters called the young dragon.
Han Beng continued to bite the snake's neck and suck as hard as he could. Giok Cu also sucked the snake's blood, which tasted sweet and fishy. However, because the girl was biting the snake's tail, or "Young Dragon" she didn't suck as much blood as Han Beng.
Han Beng, who had previously felt the pain and burning in his bitten shoulder, felt as if thousands of needles were stabbing him, now felt a heat swirling throughout his body, and the pain in his shoulder vanished.
It was replaced by a heat that seemed to burn him internally. Due to the torment of the heat, he became reckless and bit even harder. The snake's bite on his shoulder was released, and the snake became limp, its movements less intense.
At that moment, a boat approached, and an old, pot-bellied man with a beaming face and a grinning mouth moved his hand. At another moment, the man grabbed Han Beng by the nape of his neck and pulled him onto the boat
Han Beng, whose eyes were dizzy, his head aching, and the heat burning throughout his entire body and head, seemed unaware that he was being lifted onto the boat. He continued biting the snake's neck and sucking its blood, and as he was pulled onto the boat, the snake was pulled along.
And at the other end of the snake, Giok Cu, who was biting its tail and sucking its blood, was also pulled along! The girl began to feel dizzy, and her body felt as if it were on fire.
Although she wasn't as strong as Han Beng, the heat was almost unbearable, and the girl was unconscious as she was pulled onto the fat grandfather's boat.
The fat old man, whose head was as round as a ball, chuckled gleefully at the sight of the young dragon still writhing weakly.
"Ha-ha, I've found the young dragon, ha-ha!" He caught the snake's body and was heard to shout in surprise.
"Oh, shit! This young dragon is almost dead and its blood is almost gone! Oh, So It's you that suck its blood, you devil child!"
The fat, round-headed old man was a famous martial art figure named Ci Kai Hiat, a river pirate known for his skill and feared by many. Although his face was always beaming and his mouth was always grinning widely, appearing to be a cheerful and friendly person, he actually had a very cruel and cold-blooded disposition.
He could kill or torture people while laughing, and watching others suffer seemed to be a very joyful and amusing sight.
Ci Kiat Hiat was furious to see that the "Snake" had almost run out of blood, being sucked by the boy and girl. However, before he could decide what to do, a black shadow suddenly appeared and glided over. A boat rowed by Liu Bhok Ki had arrived, and the mighty old man shouted in a cool voice,
"Despicable pirate Ci Kai Hiat, give me the young dragon!"
