Chapter 226 Exploring the Snake Cave
After confirming with the bamboo slips that the Snake King was indeed dead, they ordered the Snake King's body to be collected and the extent of its injuries to be examined.
Gu Qing and the others came down to help with the treatment. Due to the contamination from the poison, two people had extremely high levels of mental pollution. Meng Yan and Bai Yujie, who considered themselves to be of a higher level than Gu Qing, took the initiative to purify the two people.
After confirming that there was no problem, another team was organized to go down into the snake pit to check. Lou Xiaoyu saw that Gu Qing was curious, so she took her hand.
"Want to go take a look?"
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
Gu Qing's question meant he wanted to go. Lou Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but pulled him to say hello to the bamboo slip and walked towards the group of people.
Qi Bai, Lou Qing, and Ma Ming naturally followed, especially when they reached the cave entrance, Lou Xiaoyu asked Gu Qing, "Do you want to come into my bubble?"
Gu Qing shook her head; the bubbles were transparent. She always felt a sense of vulnerability in them, and the completely enclosed space made her dislike being inside.
Qi Bai directly released his cauliflower snake.
The cauliflower snake shrank slightly after emerging from the water. It extended its forked tongue to gather information in the air for a while, then gently coiled its tail around Gu Qing, even looking back to make her feel uncomfortable.
The other spirit beings suitable for riding her were filled with regret. One of them, a large spirit being resembling an Alaskan Malamute, even came over and nuzzled against Gu Qing.
The lower the level, the less able one is to resist the aura emanating from the Purifier.
It was only after being threatened by the flower snake that it returned to the symbiote.
Gu Qing reached out and rubbed its head, and the snake began to swim in as commanded. Gu Qing leaned against the cold snake and looked at the stone cave walls illuminated by the light emanating from the people around her.
Lou Xiaoyu did not object because Qi Bai's level was not low, and the variety of the snake species had a deterrent effect on this snake. The situation in this cave was varied, so it was safer to let it take Gu Qing with it.
The group that came in was someone Qi Bai and his team had led on missions before, so they were all familiar with each other and no one said anything.
They even consciously protected Gu Qing in the middle, saying, "Sister-in-law, just let us know if anything happens. If you get scared on the way, we'll send someone to take you back."
"Thank you, I'm sorry for troubling you by coming down here."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. What trouble would it be if you came down with us? We'd love to bring a purifier and an alchemist with us. It'll be a safe and secure trip."
Gu Qing knew they were giving Bo Chuan face, and it was true that they liked to bring purifiers and alchemists along when they went out, but no one wanted to bring them along for things like exploring caves, as they were suspected of being a hindrance.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there were many more stones and plants in the cave that emitted a faint glow.
The young soldier who came down with him took a deep breath. "I thought the stench down there was suffocating, but the air here is actually quite comfortable."
Another person who overheard this chimed in quietly, "It is indeed fishy, but how should I put it, it just makes you feel refreshed."
The others, sensing the change, nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more.
At first, Gu Qing didn't pay attention, but the further she went in, the more of the glowing plants there were, with white flowers blooming on their delicate stems.
The flower has five petals, but they are all piled up on one side, as if the petals on the other side had been ripped off. This thing also emits a fluorescent glow, and it is not conspicuous among a pile of stones and plants.
But after a while, Gu Qing discovered that the glow emitted by this thing was different from that of the fluorescent stones and plants.
The light it emitted was white, slightly different from the fluorescence emitted by other plants. Gu Qing covered her chest with her hand. Was it what she had imagined?
She reached out and patted the rat snake. The rat snake turned its head, flicked its tongue, glanced at her, and then slowly stopped.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Are you scared? Do you want to come into my bubble?" Lou Xiaoyu picked her up, carefully observed her complexion, and was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong.
The snake tried to stop Lou Xiaoyu when she reached out, but it stopped in the end, probably because Qi Bai gave it an instruction.
Gu Qing didn't speak, but walked to the wall to the side, blinked hard, and shut down her ability.
Sure enough, the walls were covered in a soft glow, and the grass that had previously emitted a white light could only be seen as faint shadows under this glow.
She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out the detector from her spatial storage. She carefully used the tip of the detector to scratch the surface of the flower. Three seconds later, the detector beeped.
