"Princess, back off! Find a place to hide!"
Seeing that a single strike wouldn't work, he quickly said a few words to Lin Yuxin, then raised his sword and charged forward again.
Lin Yuxin watched as Dan Dao and the bamboo viper became entangled in a fight again. Surprisingly, Dan Dao's skills were such that he couldn't control the viper for the time being.
It seems that this bamboo viper has developed some intelligence, otherwise it wouldn't have grown so big. It was probably guarding that two-headed dragon flower, but she snatched it away, so it acted out of desperation.
However, she had no intention of backing down. After all, it was because of her that she couldn't let Dan Dao get into trouble. So she took out the medicine powder she had prepared earlier from her space. She hadn't used this medicine before, so she would test its power today.
She held the powdered medicine in her hand and shouted at the single-edged sword:
"Single-handed, step back, cover your mouth and nose."
Dan Dao wasn't stupid either; he swung his sword at Zhu Ye Qing and then retreated.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuxin immediately sprinkled some medicinal powder onto the bamboo leaf viper.
The medicinal powder instantly enveloped the bamboo viper. At first, the bamboo viper tried to chase after Lin Yuxin and the other person, but gradually its body stiffened and it became unable to move.
Seeing this, Dan Dao cautiously stepped forward and poked the snake's body with his sword, but there was no response.
He looked at Lin Yuxin in surprise.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yuxin knew what he wanted to ask, so she stepped forward and slowly began to speak:
"It's not some kind of deadly poison, just a powder that makes people's bodies stiff, but it's permanent! This snake isn't dead, but without an antidote, it'll probably be like this for the rest of its life."
She originally wanted to take the poison, but after thinking about it, she realized that snake venom and snake gall were both useful, so she decided to keep them! So she took out this non-fatal medicine instead.
Dan Dao suppressed his surprise. He had always thought that the princess was just a clever woman with some talent, otherwise she would not have been favored by the emperor. Now it seemed that she did have some real skills. Her skill in using poison was already superb!
Lin Yuxin didn't waste any more words. She walked to the snake's side, squatted down, took out a dagger, and quickly removed the snake's gallbladder. The snake wasn't dead, so it had been forcibly gutted.
Upon closer inspection, you can even see it twitch twice.
While collecting the venom, Lin Yuxin used her sleeve to retrieve a small bottle from her spatial storage. Just as she stood up, intending to search for other places, she heard an animal roar.
"Looks like something happened on their end, let's go check it out!"
Lin Yuxin frowned and spoke to the single-edged sword.
"But Princess, my mission is to protect you. What will you do if I leave?"
Although Dan Dao was worried about his subordinates, after all, he had trained them himself, and he would feel bad if something happened to them, he knew what was important. His main task was to protect the princess.
"Me? I won't wander off. I'll stay here and wait for you. Hurry up and come back quickly. Don't worry, I have something to protect me. Go now, or your men will be in danger!"
Lin Yuxin looked at him with a serious expression and urged him to hurry up, because she could already hear people shouting, which meant that someone must have been injured.
"Princess, stay here and wait for my return!"
Dan Dao also heard the screams. He had no time to hesitate, so he told Lin Yuxin to wait for him there. After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the direction of the screams.
Lin Yuxin did indeed stay here and didn't run around. She put the bottle containing the venom and the snake gallbladder back into her space, then looked around and dug up any edible things she saw, so that at least the people could have something to eat.
[Wow! There's even shepherd's purse here! That's great, this is a treasure trove. After eating white rice and porridge with steamed buns for seven or eight days, she's gotten tired of it. Having these wild vegetables is a blessing.]
Lin Yuxin spotted shepherd's purse among a pile of weeds. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly squatted down to dig it up.
Wow! There's purslane and shepherd's purse here too! Quick, dig! Finding these vegetables is good even if we didn't find water. She'll gather as many as she can and cook them in porridge for the people; it's better than plain porridge.
Lin Yuxin paused in her digging, feeling as if she were now destined to be like Wang Baochuan, destined to dig for wild vegetables.
[Wang Baochuan spent ten years digging for wild vegetables in her humble cave dwelling, while I, after transmigrating for only six months, started digging for wild vegetables—same fate! No, no, no, it's different. Wang Baochuan did it for men, I do it for the people, hmm! By that logic, I'm even greater!]
[She just doesn't know where the water source is on this mountain. She's been searching for so long and hasn't found it yet. She hasn't seen a single animal. Even a wild boar would be nice! At least we had pork before!]
Despite her inner turmoil, Lin Yuxin resigned herself to her fate and continued digging for wild vegetables.
Just as she was digging with great enthusiasm, she heard a heavy breathing sound behind her, which sounded more like that of a wild animal than a human.
Lin Yuxin froze, feeling a chill run down her spine.
[Oh no! Oh no! She can't be that unlucky, can she? She was just thinking about a wild boar, and now a wild boar appears? Will her silver needles work? Or should she just use poison?]
No, no, no, we can't use poison. If it were a pig, they'd still eat it! Her luck is unbelievable; she gathers some medicinal herbs and occasionally encounters a poisonous snake, she gathers some wild vegetables and wild animals come knocking.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin cautiously turned her head and saw a large black bear tilting its head and looking at her from two meters away, making "roaring" sounds.
Her heart tightened immediately. She realized that she might have really forgotten to check the almanac before going out today. She had encountered snakes and bears all day long. With water and food in short supply, why were these animals still causing trouble? Wasn't that a waste of food?
Lin Yuxin pouted speechlessly. The wild boar didn't come, but a bear did. However, she wasn't too scared. If all else failed, she could hide in her spatial dimension.
