Chapter 557 Poisonous Bird

When Zi You saw Chen Qingqing's actions, she was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, which was full of disdain and ridicule.

"Little girl, I advise you not to waste your time. I am the only one who can cure this poison. Giving him random medication will only accelerate the onset of the poison. That's simply foolish!"

Chen Qingqing glanced at her indifferently. "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. You should know that there are always people better than you. Your little tricks are not worth mentioning at all."

At this time, Chu Jiuqing had his eyes closed, cold sweat broke out, and his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously in great pain.

"You really overestimate your own abilities. You are still stubborn even when you are about to die. I want to see what tricks you can play!" Ziyou's eyes were full of gloating and she wanted to see Chu Jiuqing die of suffocation with her own eyes before she could report to the emperor.

Chen Qingqing smiled faintly, looking confident, and spoke according to the instructions on the small ring panel.

"Sandpool snake venom is extracted from multiple poisons, primarily pit viper venom, combined with bee venom, ant venom... and ten other plant compounds, including castor oil, Gelsemium elegans, and Gelsemium elegans... I'm not sure if I'm right."

Ziyou's face was filled with shock, and her eyes widened in disbelief. This...how is this possible!

She spent three years developing this poison. How did this village girl know so much about it?

A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness. "You damn girl, you really have some skills. If I don't kill you today, where will I, the Western Region Poison King, keep my dignity?"

After saying that, he quickly rushed towards Chen Qingqing.

Zhuifeng and Zhuyue stepped forward to stop Ziyou.

Chu Jiuqing's face began to turn from pale to rosy, and the black on his shoulders gradually faded. His consciousness gradually returned. Seeing several people fighting, he quickly stood up and waved his sword to meet them.

"You vile female devil, today is the day you die!"

Zi You quickly dodged and sneered, "Your Highness Prince Ning is so cruel. He is unmoved by my love and cares for this little girl. You will make me heartbroken by doing this."

"Shut your stinky mouth! Die!"

"Hmph, I'm injured now and I don't want to bother with you!" Ziyou said, then jumped a few times and turned to flee towards the dense forest in front.

Chu Jiuqing's eyes were sharp, and he whispered, "Zhuifeng, protect Miss Chen. Zhuyue, follow me. We must kill this female devil today." After that, he chased in the direction Ziyou fled.

Chen Qingqing was worried, so she quickly pulled a horse over, grabbed the reins, stepped on the stirrups, used the force to jump onto the horse, sat steadily on the horse's back, spread her legs slightly, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and galloped towards Chu Jiuqing.

Zhuifeng was stunned, then he reacted and quickly followed.

Chu Jiuqing chased Ziyou all the way to the depths of the dense forest. A cloud of smoke emerged from Ziyou's body and rose up instantly. When the smoke dissipated, Ziyou had disappeared.

But at the end of the dense forest, a charming giggle broke out, "Come down, Prince Ning, come and catch me! As long as you catch me, I will do whatever you want to me..."

Soon, they arrived deep in the dense forest. Seeing Chu Jiuqing not far ahead, Chen Qingqing quickly jumped off her horse and asked, "Xiaoyu, where is Ziyou?"

"She should be around here. I wonder where she's hiding." Chu Jiuqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking around vigilantly, lowering his voice. "Ziyou has a vicious mind. She's lost so many of her men, she won't let it go like this."

Chu Jiuqing protected Chen Qingqing and walked in front, with Zhuifeng and Zhuyue following closely behind.

Everyone walked forward cautiously. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Chen Qingqing's heart trembled.

She noticed a faint strange smell in the air.

At the same time, Xiaojie's voice sounded, "Master, please note that the wind is poisonous, and the antidote has been arranged."

Chen Qingqing saw the antidote in her hand and smiled with satisfaction, "You performed well this time. At least you didn't take advantage of the situation."

"Master, you are too kind. Small rings should be bought and sold in a fair manner. I did charge you a bit too much just now, so this time I will consider it as compensation."

"You still have some conscience." Chen Qingqing ignored it and distributed the antidote to everyone. "The air is poisonous. Take the antidote quickly."

After everyone took the antidote, a slight noise was heard not far ahead.

Chu Jiuqing stopped and made a gesture, indicating that everyone should spread out in a fan shape and slowly move towards the source of the sound.

When they pushed aside a dense bush, they found that there was no one inside, only some broken branches, obviously someone had just passed by.

"You little girl are quite capable. You knew the air was poisonous just by smelling it. I really underestimated you." Ziyou's voice echoed lightly in the dense forest.

Chen Qingqing smiled disdainfully. She could also use poison, but Ziyou's men were better protected and all wore masks. Otherwise, how could they allow her to be so arrogant?

"Ziyou, you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will have a thousand kinds of poison for you to taste."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it, but you have to find me alive first." Ziyou said this and there was no sound.

Chen Qingqing waved her hands helplessly. She thought that if she talked to Ziyou for a few more words, Chu Jiuqing would be able to determine Ziyou's location based on the voice and kill her. She didn't expect her to be so cunning and keep silent.

"Strange, where did that female devil go?" Zhuifeng muttered softly.

Chen Qingqing squatted down and took a closer look. She found that the broken branches were in a mess everywhere, as if it was done intentionally.

"She should have walked forward. These footprints must have been left for her to deliberately confuse us." Chen Qingqing said with a frown.

Zhuifeng said seriously, "Your Highness, we can't delay any longer. We must leave here as soon as possible. The Emperor Chu's illness cannot be delayed."

Zhuyue's expression was also solemn. "I also feel that we can't stay any longer. We must leave here as soon as possible. The Emperor of Chu is in danger. If Ziyou deliberately delays, the Crown Prince will have more time to make arrangements, which will be disadvantageous to us."

Chu Jiuqing nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Everyone continued to move forward, but not long after they had gone, dozens of black birds suddenly flew down from the trees and swooped down towards their faces.

At the same time, Xiaojie's voice sounded in his mind, the poison is approaching, the poison is approaching...

"Be careful, this bird is poisonous, don't let it catch you."

Chen Qingqing discovered that the claws of the strange bird were flashing with golden light, and were obviously coated with a deadly poison.

As she shouted a warning, she grabbed a crossbow and shot it at the strange bird that was flying towards her...
