Rona Muir thought of this and shouted at Jiro Hirayama, "Do you have any snake repellent? Hurry up and give me some! I'm surrounded by snakes! I can't get over there to help you!"
Jiro Hirayama looked at Rona Muir's stiff expression, couldn't help but wipe the rain from his face, and snapped back, "As soon as I get up there, no creepy-crawly would dare come near me! Why would I need SerpentGuard?"
Rona Muir refused to fall for it: "No way, toss the SerpentGuard up here first!"
Jiro Hirayama felt like he was destined to be tripped up by this foolish woman in this lifetime.
When has he ever been threatened like this before?
Yet, somehow, he wasn't even angry?
Foolish or not, at least it made his own intelligence stand out.
Jiro Hirayama thought for a moment, then pulled a small bottle from his pocket and threw it hard toward Rona Muir's position.
Rona Muir saw that Jiro Hirayama really did have SerpentGuard, and her face lit up as she caught it. Without thinking, she opened the bottle and sprayed the powder toward the snake swarm.
Just then, a breeze swept through, and the powder drifted straight onto Rona Muir herself.
Rona Muir was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
What... what... what just happened?
The next second, Rona Muir felt her vision go black, her body go limp, and she collapsed to the ground.
In that instant before losing consciousness, only one thought echoed in Rona Muir's mind: That's it, I'm really going to be snake food this time...
Jiro Hirayama waited for ages, but Rona Muir never came to pull him up. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and slowly crawl up himself, despite the pain.
As soon as Jiro Hirayama got up, the sight before him made him burst out laughing like an idiot.
Rona Muir hadn't knocked out the snake swarm—she'd managed to knock herself out instead.
How foolish do you have to be for something like this to happen?
Several snakes stared hungrily at the unconscious Rona Muir, wanting to slither over and swallow her, but the powder on her body was exactly what the snake swarm feared.
They could only watch her with frustration, not daring to get any closer.
