Shen Jiaojiao had no idea what Chu Tianling was facing not far from her. Looking at the dense swarm of snakes, she was almost having trypophobia.
The 50 guards who followed them fought fiercely and advanced little by little.
Finally, as the distance closed, they saw the strange scene ahead.
A group of people lay motionless on the ground, their fate unknown. The only one still moving was His Highness the Crown Prince, whose leg was being pulled backward by some unknown creature.
"Chu Tianling!" Shen Jiaojiao shouted in that direction.
A flash of inspiration struck Chu Tianling's sluggish mind. He looked up and saw a group of black-clad guards protecting a petite figure, slowly approaching him.
The people fighting around him seemed to become mere background figures; the petite woman's eyes shone with a captivating light, completely drawing his attention.
A warm current flowed through his heart, dispelling the chill in his body, and Chu Tianling felt his body slowly regaining its vitality.
For some reason, the snakes that had been running wild slowly regained their senses and began to retreat, disappearing quickly from everyone's sight with a series of gliding movements.
Shen Jiaojiao ran over quickly, but a group of people were lying in the middle of the road, blocking her way.
Fu Hang quickly stepped forward and checked the nose: "It's still breathing, move it out quickly!"
Those who were still able to move went forward and each dragged one person back.
Finally reaching Chu Tianling's side, Shen Jiaojiao went over to help him. At this moment, Chu Tianling stared at her intently, not even blinking.
Shen Jiaojiao asked worriedly, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"I'm fine, I want to hug you!" Chu Tianling's voice came in a low, hoarse tone.
"What time is it? Let's go back first," Shen Jiaojiao said, somewhat speechless.
Looking up, he saw the little guy clinging to Chu Tianling's leg and refusing to let go.
I just saw him dragging Chu Tianling backward, and now that we're closer, I can see clearly that he's a little black boy who isn't wearing any clothes. He hasn't had a bath in a long time, and he's not only dark-skinned but also emanates a strange stench.
Her hair, like wild grass, hung messily over her head, about a meter high. Looking down, she saw evidence between her legs—oh, a man! He was currently staring at Shen Jiaojiao with a wary expression.
"Who is this person?" Shen Jiaojiao asked, looking down after she finished looking at him.
Chu Tianling hadn't paid any attention to the person behind him, but now that he saw Shen Jiaojiao looking at him, he turned around and glanced back.
That glance almost made him furious. This little black devil had no clothes covering him at all, and everything he shouldn't have seen had been exposed. Jiao Jiao hadn't even seen me yet!
He sat up, covered Shen Jiaojiao's eyes with his hand, and said angrily, "Jiaojiao, don't look at what you shouldn't see. If you want to look, go home and look. There are plenty of things at home!"
A pair of eyes swept over him fiercely, then he said to the guard who was standing there dumbfounded, "Someone, hurry up and get him some clothes to put on, what kind of appearance is this!"
The little black man hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end. Now, seeing the people approaching him, he stood up in fear, slowly backing away, his eyes scanning the group. Then, he quickly turned and ran forward, disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash.
The guards hesitated, looking at the foggy road ahead, unsure whether to go in. The two men looked at Chu Tianling and asked, "Your Highness, shall we give chase?"
Although Chu Tianling wanted to take the person back, the situation was unclear, the casualties were unknown, and there was poison in the air. He was not well prepared and thought it best to go back first.
"Stop chasing, get out of here!"
Shen Jiaojiao was too petite to carry him, and Chu Tianling didn't want her to leave.
And so the following scene unfolded.
A guard carried the person on his back, while Shen Jiaojiao held Chu Tianling's hand beside him. Chu Tianling rested his head on the guard's shoulder, his face turned towards Shen Jiaojiao, gazing at her with infatuation.
They didn't see that after they left, a small black dot secretly followed behind, peeking out and watching their departing figures.
When they arrived at the cave entrance, Fu Hang was already waiting above and naturally saw this scene. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Men, pull His Highness the Crown Prince out!" Fu Hang called two of his men, who reached down, tied a rope to the Crown Prince, and pulled him up.
Chu Tianling reached the top of the cave, lay down on the ground, leaned against the wall with difficulty, and stared at the cave entrance. Jiaojiao had not yet come up.
He felt an endless longing even after just one minute apart. As the old saying goes, "A day apart feels like three autumns," and it seems there's some truth to that.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the hole. It was quite convenient to come down; she could just jump. But when she went up, she realized that it was three meters high, and her small body couldn't jump out.
Fu Hang stood there looking at the fussy little woman, thinking to himself, "Women are such a hassle."
His body had already jumped down involuntarily, looking at the little woman in front of him with wide eyes staring at him.
Fu Hang grabbed the back of her clothes, and with a leap, he was up there in a flash.
Once they reached the top, Fu Hang immediately let go of her hand and stood to the side. He was still thinking to himself, "My mother said we should help the weak and do a good deed every day."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Fu Hang with surprise. She didn't expect this person to be so powerful. Could this be a kind of light-body skill?
Chu Tianling gave Fu Hang a disapproving look. "I'll remember you! When we get back, I'll get this guy far away. Jiao Jiao just glanced at him; I can't let him draw her attention."
"Ahem, Jiaojiao..." Chu Tianling quickly called out.
Shen Jiaojiao jogged over and helped Chu Tianling. Lying in the cave were the group of 39 brothers who had gone in with Chu Tianling, as well as nearly 20 injured brothers who had gone in this time.
With so many wounded people unable to be moved easily, Shen Jiaojiao immediately ordered, "Someone, quickly go find a doctor to come and take a look at everyone!"
There are too many injured people, and they are halfway up the mountain. It is difficult to walk here, and it is very troublesome to take them back without a horse-drawn carriage.
I think it would be best to find a doctor to treat me.
Furthermore, we can take this opportunity to study the poison in the cave. The little black man who escaped is also a problem. Once we develop an antidote, we'll have to go back in and see what's going on inside.
Fu Hang took the lead and immediately left with several of his men to find a doctor.
There were 60 uninjured people waiting outside. Everyone separated those with minor injuries and bandaged those who needed bandaging.
Those who were poisoned and unconscious, as well as those who were seriously injured, were moved together to await the arrival of the doctor.
