Chapter 223 The Guards Take Action
He chuckled again, "But don't worry, even if we encounter it alone, we might not be able to defeat it, but getting you out of there will be a piece of cake."
Seeing him like this, Gu Qing felt relieved and began to observe the comings and goings on the battlefield again.
The first team cleared out the numerous venomous snakes on the outer perimeter without sustaining any damage, but the higher-ranking snakes inside had already sensed something amiss.
The threatening hiss of snakes could be heard, and the sound of snakes slithering across the ground and scraping against the gravel was unmistakable.
Gu Qing knew that a high-level venomous snake was about to emerge, and she nervously gripped Lou Xiaoyu's arm tightly.
The snake that came out this time was just like those giant forest pythons I'd seen before, even thicker and with longer, dark gray stripes, making it look terrifying.
In snake battles, low-level earth-based abilities such as spitting thorns and spitting balls have also been added. Combined with their powerful strangulation, they cannot immediately deploy their full combat strength.
For a time, they worked together to pull and wear down these few snakes, which were like giant pythons.
After the five snakes died, they were quickly disposed of, and quite a few edible and medicinal items were collected, including their cores, skins, and bones.
Seeing that the bamboo slips hadn't reappeared for quite some time, he took out a giant sheep he had killed that morning from his spatial storage. Covered in blood, it was thrown directly into the snake pit.
This time, four even larger snakes were attracted. Gu Qing pushed up her glasses, which were perched on her eye sockets. "These four don't look like trouble at all."
The previous battle had already taken a heavy toll on that squad; one squad needed to be kept behind to deal with the Snake King later. Another squad needed to be kept as a last resort. What to do now?
Lou Xiaoyu raised her chin to show her, and she saw that the bamboo slips had already gone to the guards of each family, and she didn't know what they were saying to each other.
Afterwards, the guards contacted the heads of various families. After Lou Xiaoyu agreed, the Lou family even specially sent two elders. Their family was different from others; they could preserve their strength, but they could not slack off.
Lou Xiaoyu casually took over the battlefield commentary, "Oh, whose is this? Is it a lightning-type ability? This damage is considerable, but the level is a bit low. Let's level it up."
Bai Yujie couldn't suppress the smugness on her face, feeling that her husband had made her proud.
The reason she allowed the other party to go was because she saw that Lou Xiaoyu had sent a skilled fighter, and her own guards were inferior to the other party's. She was afraid that things would not look good, so she let the other party go.
"That snake-like beast with a yellow patch on its forehead, is it from Alchemist Sun's family? That guy is quite powerful and has a certain level of intelligence."
All four families were quite skilled and cooperated well with each other. However, the four teams were not very familiar with each other, which is why they tacitly guided their opponents to fight from different directions as soon as they entered the battlefield.
The people Sun Mo brought were probably older. They all seemed rather quiet, but their levels were higher than those brought by Meng Yan and Bai Yujie, and they had more combat experience.
Upon entering the battlefield, I chose the most powerful one, partly as a way of showing care for these younger generations.
Lou Xiaoyu explained that the four women, under the protection of their respective husbands, watched with great interest.
The four venomous snakes persisted for an hour and were eventually used as materials. The bamboo slips were then collected by their men and distributed to the four families.
The four families withdrew, some to treat their injuries and others to rest. Gu Qing also had Lou Qing deliver a bottle of medicine for her injuries. She was happy to do this kind of effortless way to win people's hearts.
Don't think she's materialistic. If it weren't for Gu Qing's own efforts in planning after she came from another place, she wouldn't be living such a good life now.
Besides, these people know how to be grateful, so the clan elder directly took the fifth-order crystal core.
"Clan Chief's wife, we don't have any purifiers here, so this is perfect for you. Also, these are edible parts of the snake. If you don't mind, you can eat them yourself. Higher-level snakes are better for your health."
As he spoke, he handed over two energy boxes.
Gu Qing took it and said with a smile, "I'll keep the snake meat. I've never had it before, but I'd like to try it now. I've purified the crystal core for you. You fought so hard to get it, so you don't need to hand it over to me."
"Oh, Madam, what are you saying? Giving you the crystal core is something we all agreed to," Lou Zi persuaded.
"That won't do. You've already worked so hard, how could I possibly take advantage of you?"
"If it's purified, wouldn't it be a bargain for us to give it to them?" Lou Zi is about the same age as Lou Qing and Lou Xiaoyu, and they all live in the villa, so they are relatively close.
