Chapter 3214
Darryl kept a straight face and threw Madeline a look discreetly, telling her not to be nervous.
The next second, Darryl smiled faintly at Gandalf. " Well, both of us can take a step back, what do you want to let her go?"
Darryl peered over Gandalf's shoulder and saw a colorful little snake nestled on the ground a few feet away behind the other man.
Darryl knew that a beautiful snake meant a poisonous snake. He thought of a plan.
Gandalf threw his head back and laughed; he thought Darryl had finally compromised. "The conditions are very simple. I want you to move those rocks and then hack off one of your hands."
Gandalf had not figured out how his subordinates were trapped in those messy rock arrangements, but he knew that as long as the stones were removed, his people would be able to walk around freely.
As for asking Darryl to hack off a hand, Gandalf simply needed to vent his anger.
Darryl cursed in his heart. 'Gandalf is quite a savage man; he even wants me to hack off a hand.1
Then, he smiled and nodded, "okay, you have to keep your word!"
"Hey, are you crazy?"
Madeline looked conflicted and baffled as she shouted.
Gandalf was cruel and despicable; he was not a man of his words. If Darryl cut off one of his hands for real, they would be on the disadvantage and passive end.
Darryl shook his head at Madeline and said, "Go, move those rocks!"
Madeline was unwilling to follow the order. Nevertheless, she strolled toward the rock formation grudgingly when she saw how determined and solemn Darryl was.
Huh!
Gandalf stared at Madeline closely, his eyes gleaming with excitement and cruelty.
Gandalf had decided to get his subordinates to capture Madeline alive once they were freed. As for Darryl, who would have lost a hand by then, he would no longer be a threat to Gandalf, so he was not worried about him.
The proud Gandalf said coldly to Darryl, "She is off to move the rocks. Now you can cut your hand off! Don't even think about playing tricks with me."
Darryl responded with a smile. Then, he put his hand to his mouth and made a series of hissing noises.
The hissing sounds reached the poisonous snake. It crawled toward Gandalf at lightning speed as if it had received an instruction to attack.
Darryl had just used his mimic technique and signaled to the poisonous snake to attack.
"What are you doing?" Gandalf frowned and asked coldly.
He had not realized the danger behind him was approaching quickly.
"Oh!"
Darryl looked at ease. He responded with a smile, " It's nothing. My shoulder injury is feeling a little uncomfortable."
Gandalf's eyes flickered, and he was about to say something when he saw the viper behind him. It bit Gandalf's calf.
Gasp!
Gandalf took a deep breath of air when he felt a sudden sharp pain. His face changed when he turned around and saw what had happened.
He realized a poisonous snake had bitten his calf.
Thud!
Gandalf released the hostage and tried to squeeze the venom out of his wound. However, the venom had spread at an astonishing speed. Within a short time, a gush of numbness spread all over Gandalf. He shuddered and fell to the ground as his body went weak.
'What's going on?'
Madeline had just walked to the rock formation. Alarmed by the noise, she looked at Gandalf hurriedly, she was immediately stunned.
Gandalf's face paled. He laid weakly on the ground; he had lost his ability to put up a defense.
After a few seconds, Madeline returned to where Darryl was and asked Darryl, "what's the matter? Where did the poisonous snake come from?"
Sigh!
Darryl smiled and looked at Gandalf. He replied halfheartedly, "It seems like he has done too much evil; even God can't stand it anymore. So, God sent a poisonous snake to punish him."
Darryl did not say anything about his mimic technique. After all, he was in a different world. Really?
