Chapter 232 Teammate Bitten by a Snake
Eleven people worked together to collect 500 stalks of sedge grass, each person only needed to pick about 40. This should have been an easy job, completed in an hour.
However, the growth environment of star grass is very demanding and it likes to hide in the cracks of rocks, so it is very time-consuming and laborious to search for it.
Shu Li opened the bag of herbs and roughly counted them. There were ten plants in total.
This is the result of his half-hour work.
In order to pick these ten stalks of Stargazing grass, we had to expand the search range. The current location was more than two hundred meters away from the previous one.
Shu Li shook off the mud on the shovel, stood up and looked around, looking for his teammates.
After a while, he frowned.
Except for Nasha, everyone else is within sight.
Strange, where is she?
"Sperian, what's wrong?" Angel, who was more than ten meters away from him, saw him standing there motionless and asked in confusion.
"Have you seen Nasha?" Shu Li asked.
"Nasha? Isn't she over there?" Angel pointed, but there was no one there. He said in surprise, "Strange, she was there just now! How come she's gone now?"
Shu Li looked in the direction he pointed. There were many large rocks scattered around. If someone squatted to pick herbs, their bodies might be blocked.
"I'll go take a look." Shu Li trotted over and was about to jump onto a big rock when a scream suddenly came from the front.
"Ah! Snake—"
It was Nasha who screamed.
The other teammates gave up collecting herbs without hesitation and quickly moved towards Shu Li's direction.
Shu Li jumped onto a big rock and saw a black-haired girl lying in a pile of rocks ten meters away.
"Nasha!"
He rushed forward, ran to Nasha's side, and squatted down to check her condition.
Nasha's face was pale, her expression was painful, her body was twitching constantly, and her right leg was bent unnaturally.
Shu Li didn't care about the difference between men and women, lifted her skirt, and immediately saw the thin black snake wrapped around her right ankle.
"hiss!"
The thin snake opened its mouth, revealing its venomous fangs, and shot towards Shu Li like an arrow.
Shu Li was startled and moved as fast as lightning, instantly clamping the thin snake's seven inches. With a strong pull, the half-meter-long black snake was pulled out.
After the others ran over, they looked at the black snake that Shu Li was holding with two fingers in surprise. Selyu quickly drew his sword, and with a flash of white light, he directly cut off the black snake's head.
Shu Li threw away the snake's body. The headless snake was twisting on the stone, which made him feel sick.
"Nasha was bitten by a snake?" Siti squatted down, took Nasha into her arms, and lifted the trouser leg of her right leg with one hand.
"This is..." She opened her eyes wide.
There were two bloody holes on Nasha's ankles, and half of her leg had turned black.
"Poisonous!" others exclaimed.
Shu Li hurriedly took out a thin rope from the storage bag, tied it around Nasha's knee, and tied it tightly to prevent the poison from spreading upwards. Then he took out a dagger and approached the wound.
"Nasha, please bear with it for a moment." He said seriously.
Nasha leaned in Siti's arms and responded with difficulty: "Hmm..."
Shu Li tried to use a dagger to cut the wound and drain the poisonous blood, but he couldn't bring himself to do it several times.
"Let me do it." Seleu took the dagger from his hand, cut the snake bite cleanly and neatly, squeezed it hard, and squeezed out the poisonous blood.
When the wound was almost squeezed out, Shu Li chanted water magic and condensed a water ball, which continuously flushed and cleaned the wound.
After it was over, the water ball disappeared and Nasha's calves were no longer black and purple.
"I have some herbs here." Kumandi handed Shu Li a stone bowl for pounding herbs.
After Shu Li took it, he saw that the herbs inside had been crushed. He was slightly startled by the fragrance of the herbs.
This is the thorn grass that only grows in the Fairy Forest. It is an excellent herb for stopping bleeding, detoxifying and reducing inflammation.
It seems that Kumandi took out the herbs from the storage ring and crushed them while others were not paying attention.
The crushed herbs cannot be seen in their original form and will not attract other people's attention.
Shu Li dug out some herbs and applied them to Nasha's wound. Stimulated by the herbal juice, Nasha bit her lip, and her pale face was covered with sweat.
Siti hugged her tightly and comforted her worriedly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Shu Li bandaged her wound, untied the rope around her knee, and let out a long sigh.
Thanks to timely medical treatment, her life is basically out of danger. After returning to the academy, I prepared a bottle of scar removal medicine for her, and after a month of application, her scars were back to normal.
Of course, the scar removal potion is a secret recipe exclusive to the fairies, and some herbs have to be collected in the fairy forest.
"We sprayed snake repellent on our bodies, so why was Nasha still bitten by this black snake?" Angel asked in confusion.
When doing tasks in the wild, insect repellent and snake repellent are essential. Before entering the Wobbe Canyon, everyone sprayed the potion on their bodies to prevent insect and snake bites.
"Maybe this snake is not afraid of medicine?" Budno squatted in front of the black snake's corpse and poked it with the small shovel in his hand.
The black snake was turned over, revealing the golden scales on its belly.
"This is a Black Najin Snake." Ace frowned and said, "Black Najin Snakes always like to move in groups."
Shu Li asked in surprise, "You mean... when we find one, it means there's a whole nest nearby?"
It's as scary as discovering a cockroach.
Ace nodded solemnly.
Hector swallowed and asked, "Well...how many snakes are there in a nest?"
Ace gripped his magic wand tightly and looked around warily. "One thousand or tens of thousands."
"What? Tens of thousands!" Hector was shocked.
Seryu listened carefully and shouted in a deep voice: "Be alert!"
Team Light quickly entered combat mode.
Shu Li raised his magic wand and chanted a light-based physical defense array, enveloping everyone in it. "Siti, Hector, take care of Nasha."
Siti and Hector responded in unison: "Yes."
Shu Li added, "Everyone else stand in a circle and prepare for attack and defense."
"receive!"
Everyone took their positions, protecting Nasha, Siti and Hector in the middle.
"Here it comes!" Amanda's pupils straightened, and the warlike factor of the dragon clan awakened.
“Rustle, rustle—”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
In the blink of an eye, thousands of black snakes swarmed towards the Light Team from all directions. Some were as thin as fingers, some were as thick as water pipes, and some were as strong as pythons, which made Shu Li and others' scalps tingle.
This is as bad as the rats that are disturbing the people in Kesheng Town!
The black snakes came with great force, surrounding the light team in the light shield from all directions. The black snakes in the front rushed to hit the protective shield.
Fortunately, Shu Li cast a defensive shield at the level of an intermediate wizard, which remained motionless even after being hit by thousands of small snakes.
When doing tasks in the wild, you need to be flexible for your own safety.
Although he disguises himself as a magic apprentice, he must use his true strength when he encounters danger.
"So much?" Budno exclaimed. "Can we eat it?"
Dizio's eyes widened. "They're all poisonous snakes. How dare you eat them?"
It's already this late, and I'm still thinking about eating.
Budno said aggrievedly: "I'm hungry!"
Looking at the position of the sun above our heads, it should be noon now, time to eat.
Amanda stared at the black snakes that kept coming one after another and licked her lips: "I'm hungry too."
Every dragon has a strong stomach and is not afraid of poison. As long as the meat is fresh and tender, it will eat it.
These black snakes look great and must taste amazing.
It’s a pity that he is now disguised as a human and cannot change into his original form, otherwise they would be enough for him to have a full meal.
Shu Li's mouth twitched and he said, "We'll have lunch after the crisis is over."
Just as he finished speaking, the back of his right hand became hot, the Seal of the God of Fire appeared, a red light shot out, and Farm's chubby body appeared.
"Is it time for dinner? Is it time for dinner?" Farm yawned loudly, flapped the bat wings behind him, and looked sleepy.
Another foodie came. Shu Li was furious. He pointed at the black snakes attacking them outside and asked, "There are a lot of black gold snakes. Do you want to eat them?"
Farm took a closer look and his mouth watered. "Black Najin Snake! Delicious!"
As a tenth-level magical beast that has lived for tens of thousands of years and has eaten all kinds of magical beasts and animals on the continent, the Black Na Golden Snake is on the menu of the Fire Dragon Lizard.
Shu Li said: "Take care of it yourself, don't let yourself be swallowed by the black golden snake."
Farm squinted at him. "They dare to eat me?"
An ordinary snake that is not even at the first level dares to swallow a tenth-level monster. Are you kidding me?
In order to show his majesty, Farm stuck to the edge of the protective shield, emitting the pressure of a high-level magical beast, trying to scare away the black snake.
Under normal circumstances, these black snakes would have fled long ago due to the threat from high-level monsters. However, at this moment, they did not retreat but advanced instead, fiercely crashing into the protective shield.
Farm waved his short, fat paws, bared his teeth, and let out a low growl from his throat.
The black snake completely ignored the babyish cries of the little monster, wriggling quickly and stacking up to the periphery of the protective shield.
Farm was furious.
What kind of snake is this? It actually ignores the majesty of the monster!
Damn it!
If it hadn't been disguised as a little milk beast, it would have grown to a larger size long ago.
Shu Li was very surprised. These black snakes were obviously just ordinary reptiles, not even first-level magical beasts, yet they were not afraid of the tenth-level Farm.
Who gave them the courage to challenge the authority of high-level monsters?
"Sperian, shouldn't we attack?" Discio held the magic wand, ready to move.
"No rush." Shu Li said, "Wait until all the snakes are out, then catch them all in one fell swoop."
These were ordinary snakes, not monsters. One fireball could burn a large area. Since they came out in droves without knowing the consequences, we had to satisfy their demands and give them a big gift package to wipe out the whole family.
Farm was furious, flying up and down in the light shield. "Let me out, I want to eat a lot!"
This light shield is a physical defense array, and no physical objects can enter or exit.
Shu Li glanced at it and said, "I'll let you out when there are fewer of them."
The most important thing is that we still haven't figured out why the black snake is not afraid of high-level monsters. To be on the safe side, we must not take it lightly.
Seleu put the sword back into the scabbard, replaced it with a high-level magic wand, narrowed his eyes slightly, spread his perception, and detected the movements within a hundred meters.
There was nothing strange except that black snakes kept coming out of the cracks.
Hector's teeth chattered as he looked at the increasing number of black snakes. He stuttered and asked, "This... number is too ridiculous, isn't it?"
Siti murmured, "Have we entered a snake's den?"
Nasha cheered herself up and let Siti help her up.
"Can you do it?" Siti asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Nasha took out her magic wand and used it as a crutch. "The wound doesn't hurt anymore."
She couldn't be a burden to her companions and had to recover and join the battle.
Seeing her face had regained its rosy complexion, Siti supported her arm and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to speak up. Don't force yourself."
Nasha said: "Yeah, I know."
Ten minutes later, the black snakes formed a thick "black wall" outside the defense array, wriggling along the surface of the light shield, which was disgusting.
If left unattended, the entire light shield will be covered by black snakes in a few minutes.
Ace said, "They want to devour the light source."
Once the mask loses the support of the light source, it will automatically collapse.
"No more waiting, let's kill one batch first!" Shu Li gave an order, and all eleven members of the Light Team raised their magic wands and cast various spells on the black snakes outside.
“Boom!”
Fireballs, light balls, water arrows, wind blades, vines, and ground spikes attacked the black snake on a large scale, causing a deafening roar.
The black snakes were attacked by various magic spells and died in large numbers without even having time to scream.
After a while, the black snakes surrounding the light shield were cleared out.
However, more black snakes rushed out and hit the light shield fiercely.
Shu Li frowned, feeling that the defensive formation was unstable, and immediately chanted a spell to strengthen the defense of the light shield.
"Why do these black snakes emit a lot of black smoke after they die?" Hector asked in confusion.
"Black smoke?" I was so busy casting magic that I ignored the black smoke coming out of the black snake's body.
This is……
"The power of darkness!"
Shu Li exclaimed.
He often went to Vanaku, where the dark elves lived, to purify the mother tree, and was most exposed to the power of darkness. When he saw the black smoke coming out of the snake corpse, he recognized it instantly.
No wonder they are not afraid of Farm.
Any creature contaminated by the power of darkness will lose control and run wild. Only killing can temporarily soothe the crazy soul.
