Chapter 42 Jie Chen was bitten by a snake!
Old Master Lin had already fallen unconscious to the ground, and a thick king cobra was coiled on the branch above his head.
The green snake eyes looked at the people who were approaching.
The soldiers raised their arrows at it.
Xiangying stretched out his hand to stop it: "Don't provoke it yet, otherwise Master Lin will definitely get hurt."
"Snakes like these usually don't attack people on their own initiative. They must have had a reason for finding them back."
"Besides, this is most likely a male snake. There must be a female snake nearby. All of you should step back!"
The soldiers were hesitant.
Until Jie Chen ordered in a deep voice: "Listen to her and step back!"
The soldiers then put away their arrows and made way for the space.
The small snakes crawling on the ground gathered nearby, as if searching for something.
The male snake hissed and stared at Xiangying who was nearby.
After a moment, it came down from the tree trunk and swam forward.
Xiangying did not hesitate. He immediately went up, picked up Mr. Lin on his back and handed him over to the soldiers.
Then she turned around and watched the male snake swim towards Xiang Qianqian.
The old concubine was so frightened that her legs went limp. She kept screaming and slapping the concubines beside her who were also scared to death.
"Carry me on your back! Carry me on your back quickly!"
Xiang Qianqian's whole body went limp. When she saw the snake approaching, her face turned pale and her eyes widened.
The male snake sniffed around her for a long time.
Xiangying frowned: "Snakes like Guoshanfeng are very protective of their young. Did you take their eggs? Take them out and put them on the ground!"
Xiang Qianqian's lips trembled: "I, I, just ate by the fire..."
As she finished her words, the male snake had already swam to the edge of the fire.
The ground was littered with cracked eggshells.
Concubine Shangguan was so anxious that she kept scolding: "You greedy thing, why do you have to eat snake eggs when there are so many other things to eat!"
"How would I know that those were snake eggs? Help, big sister, help!" Xiang Qianqian cried and begged for mercy.
Xiangying was powerless.
The venom of the king cobra is much more powerful than that of ordinary snakes.
She would not take any risks, especially for someone like Xiang Qianqian.
The male snake circled the broken eggshell twice, as if confirming that its child was dead. It suddenly opened its bloody mouth and made a ferocious sound.
Xiangying frowned: "The male snake is angry. It is sending a signal that the female snake is coming."
In the animal kingdom, female snakes are usually more robust.
This male snake is ten meters long, let alone the female snake!
When she was in the end of the world, she heard from her elders that in the rain forest, they ate eggs from the mountains to satisfy their hunger.
As a result, after walking 30 kilometers, they were caught up by the king cobra, and two of the four people were bitten to death by it.
If the female snake came, she would definitely chase and bite them.
As Xiangying finished speaking, the little snakes on the ground started biting people!
The soldiers were jumping and trampling in chaos.
On the children's side, Xiang Xiuxiu was originally lying in Xiang Li's arms. When she looked up, she suddenly saw a small snake crawling up along the wheel.
She screamed in fright, grabbed the snake's tail with her little hands, and swung her arms around several times.
Finally, the little hand loosened and threw the snake out in a parabola.
Xiang Xiuxiu threw herself into Xiangli's arms, trembling: "It's so scary, uncle, we are surrounded by snakes."
Xiangli was still immersed in the shock of his niece pinching the snake's head with her bare hands.
Their child Xiuxiu is timid, shy and very strong.
Xiang Yuanxiao opened his little hands: "Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you."
Tao Xue picked him up in one move: "Little Prince, you are in danger!"
Xiangying reminded Jiechen: "Go look after the child."
She took Li Chen's sword and prepared to deal with the approaching female snake.
Jie Chen frowned: "What are you going to do? Don't take risks!"
Xiangying did not answer him because the rustling sound was coming quickly from not far away.
Everyone saw that the grass seemed to be crushed by something and was spreading towards them at a rapid speed.
They could all see that there was an extremely long and thick creature chasing after them.
The male snake over there was already angry, and bit Xiang Qianqian, who was closest to him.
"Ah——!" Xiang Qianqian wailed in fear and pushed Concubine Feng over without any care.
Before Lady Feng could dodge, the male snake's fangs immediately bit her arm, and the snake's body quickly wrapped around Lady Feng's neck.
“Save me…Fifth Princess…Save…” Concubine Feng fell to the ground. The more she struggled, the tighter the snake wrapped around her.
Xiang Qianqian was so scared that she ran away crawling.
Even Concubine Shangguan tried her best to crawl away.
Captain Jia turned pale with fear. He shouted to his soldiers, "Shoot! What are you waiting for? Bring it here!"
He kicked down the soldier beside him, grabbed the bow and arrow and drew the bow.
More than a dozen arrows flew out, not only killing the male snake, but also piercing Lady Feng like a hedgehog, and slowly dying.
Xiangying has already seen the female snake.
It was at least twelve meters long, as thick as an adult's arm, and covered with blue-black scales.
There was still wet mud on its body, obviously having been following the scent all day.
Xiangying picked up the sword and was about to run towards the mother snake, but was grabbed by Jie Chen.
“You’re crazy!”
"It's already angry, and it won't stop until it kills me. So I'd better take the initiative. Snake gallbladder is added to wine, which is very tonic."
After saying that, Xiangying threw off his shackles, moved forward swiftly, and came face to face with the standing female snake.
Just as she raised her sword to chop down, a melodious voice suddenly came.
The female snake stood still for an instant, hissing and listening to the sudden sound.
Xiangying turned his head and saw Xiang Yuanlang standing behind a tree with his back to them, blowing the leaves in the nearby woods.
Following the guidance of the music, the female snake slowly lay down on the ground and swam forward.
It sniffed the dead Concubine Feng and the male snake, and then, in full view of everyone, it decisively dived into the bushes and left.
Xiangying held the sword, at a loss.
"Leaving now?"
Not only the mother snake, but also the remaining little snakes swam into the bush.
Xiang Yuanlang walked around Xiangying from behind the tree and whispered, "I told it that the person who took the snake eggs is dead. I told it not to struggle. It won't be good for it if we come in large numbers."
After the little guy finished speaking, he looked up, waiting for Xiangying to praise him like he did last time.
Noticing his sparkling eyes, Xiangying reached out and touched his head: "You are awesome."
It's a pity about the snake gall, fortunately the male snake's gall can also be used.
Xie Chen walked over, his thin eyes beneath the mask were deep black.
"It was too dangerous just now. How could you act recklessly?"
If you get bitten by a poisonous snake in such a deep mountain area, you can only wait for death.
Xiangying could hear his gnashing tone, but blinked: "Jianjun Jie is worried about me?"
Xie Chen's jawline tightened: "If you die, no one will collect your body."
Xiangying smiled, her beauty blossoming.
She was about to speak when Jie Chen suddenly saw something crawling out from behind her shoulder.
His eyes changed: "Be careful!"
Jie Chen reached out and grabbed the little snake. In an instant, the frightened snake bit his tiger's mouth.
Xiang Ying's eyes were gloomy and his face was calm. He cut off the snake's head with his sword in a neat movement.
She pulled out the two snake teeth that were embedded in the skin, and then looked at the two small blood holes on Jie Chen's hand, which had turned slightly black.
Xiang Yuanlang was shocked: "This is a poisonous snake."
Scarface and the others gathered around, shocked: "The military supervisor was bitten by a snake!"
One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone rushed over to check the situation.
The military doctor who was helped over looked at the wound and said with a complicated expression: "It's over, it's over! Without medicine, he will die within three hours!"
Xie Chen was not panicked yet. He immediately ordered Scarface: "Go and call all the captains. I have something to tell you."
The next second, he felt a warm sensation at the base of his thumb.
When I looked back, I was stunned.
Xiangying actually held the place where he was bitten by the snake, sucked out two mouthfuls of poisonous blood, and spit it on the ground.
Xiang Yuanlang, who was always calm and indifferent, stamped his feet anxiously for the first time: "Are you crazy? If you are not careful, you will die too!"
