After a slight noise, the ground shook, and then a small hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the cave I mentioned. Follow this cave into the pond I mentioned."
Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless. It was obvious that this cave was hidden by the old man on purpose.
However, in order to prevent Lao Deng from playing tricks again, Ye Xiaoxiao decided to let him go first.
The old man did not refuse and entered the cave first, followed by Ye Xiaoxiao and the others.
This cave is not small. It doesn’t look like a cave made by wild animals, but rather like one dug by humans.
When Ye Xiaoxiao was wondering whether a mine would appear, Shangguan Lingyun shook his head at him.
"It looks like someone must have lived here before. This is just a small hole left by humans."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, then followed the old man around in circles. After walking for another cup of tea, she finally saw the pond the old man had mentioned.
Beside the pond, Ye Xiaoxiao saw a strange-looking plant.
Just as he was about to get closer, he was stopped by Old Han and the system at the same time.
"Don't go over there."
"Host, there is danger ahead."
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little confused, and Old Han answered her questions.
"This herb is guarded by a strange beast. If you pick it, you will definitely be attacked by the beast."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao looked towards the fruitless herb and sure enough, she saw a poisonous snake lying under its rhizome, its color almost exactly the same as that of the fruitless herb.
At this moment, the little snake is holding its head high, believing that as long as someone dares to take a step forward, it will definitely attack directly.
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and asked the system in her heart.
"I'm already immune to all poisons. If it bites me, other than a little pain, what danger is there?"
The system was silent for a moment before responding.
"Although the host is immune to all poisons, there are more than just a hundred poisons in this world. There are some poisons that are more toxic and have a faster onset, which the host cannot resist."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
"What's so special about this snake? How can I defeat it with one move?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was no longer able to complain about the system's pitfalls and could only try to ask about things that would benefit her.
"This snake is very fast and its venom is extremely fierce, but its fatal wound is not in the seven-inch area, but in its eyes."
"Eye?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao looked towards the snake's eyes, only to find that the snake's eyes were closed.
"What kind of snake is this? It doesn't have seven inches and its eyes are closed. Aren't they said that all snakes have their eyes open?"
"You can't say it doesn't have seven inches. Its seven inches are its eyes, because its heart is right below its eyes."
"However, its eyelids are extremely hard and cannot be penetrated by ordinary swords."
"Furthermore, if it opens its eyes, it will definitely release poison, which will immediately render the opponent unable to fight."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "In other words, its toxins are secreted through the eyes?"
System: "That's right. Therefore, if the host is not absolutely sure of being able to deal with its venom, it is best not to approach it easily."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Shangguan Lingyun beside her.
Although Old Han didn't know how powerful poisonous snakes were, everyone who came with him last time was poisoned to death by them.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked around carefully and found quite a few bones that had not yet corroded.
[No wonder this old man Han is so kind that he's willing to give us the herbs.]
[It turned out that he had no way to obtain the herbs, let alone pick them.]
After realizing this, Ye Xiaoxiao stopped caring about others and directly told the news told to her by the system as records in ancient books.
Shangguan Lingyun had just heard her thoughts, so he was not too surprised.
County Magistrate Han, on the other hand, seemed to be somewhat impressed by Ye Xiaoxiao's knowledge.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Ye Xiaoxiao had no idea what to do for the moment and could only search silently in her own space to see if there was anything useful.
While searching, she kept asking the system, "I've done so many things recently, are there any rewards I missed?"
The mechanical voice of the system turned again and again, and just when Ye Xiaoxiao was about to give up, the system's voice sounded again.
"Because the host helped the male protagonist rescue the victims of the flood, the system rewards him with a pair of thousand-year-old black iron gloves."
Ye Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused, "If I hadn't asked, would you have forgotten about this reward?"
The system automatically muted the microphone. Ye Xiaoxiao had already figured out its temper and understood what was going on at a glance.
"For the sake of the gloves, I don't bother to argue with you."
"But how can I take out these gloves openly?"
I took a look at the fruitless herbs and found that they were still in the seedling stage. It would probably take a while for them to mature.
Ye Xiaoxiao had an idea in her mind, so she proposed it to Shangguan Lingyun.
"This venomous snake is too dangerous. We came here in a hurry and were not prepared."
"Why don't we go back first and come back when everything is ready."
"With this poisonous snake guarding it, I believe no one would dare to pick it casually."
Shangguan Lingyun did not object. After saying something to the Han father and son, he took Ye Xiaoxiao and left first.
Wang Xiao and Tian Xuan followed closely behind, and before leaving, they sent a secret signal to the sky.
Old Man Han glanced at the people who were leaving and shouted in confusion.
"Why did you leave? What about the herbs? What about my 100,000 taels of silver and the beauty?"
County Magistrate Han couldn't bear to watch it and turned away angrily.
