Some people were particularly clear-headed: "Given how difficult it is to obtain this medicine, do you think that even if others have extra, they will sell it to you at a low price? What if you can't get the medicine and can't afford it? You'll just be waiting to die."
"That's still better than getting medicine now and having an accident. At least I can live a little longer."
"I'm a coward. I'd better wait. Those snakes and wasps are just too scary."
Yun and the others were busy searching for medicine and had no time to pay attention to the conversation on the public screen.
After they got another yellow medicine, Yun Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky, and frowned, saying, "It's too inefficient for three people to work together. Here's what we'll do: we'll split into two groups. Bai Yu, you and Xiao Zhen go to the left to search. You mainly need to get the purple and yellow medicines, and do your best with the red medicines. I'll go to the right. Once we're done, send a message to meet up."
Bai Yu nodded and started working with Xiao Zhen.
Yun Jian then accelerated at full speed, her main target being the red medicine.
Snakes and wasps, which are difficult for ordinary people to deal with, are nothing to her.
Wow, that was fast! I couldn't even see what happened; all I saw on the screen was a blur.
[Friendly reminder: The video playback has a speed-up function; you can adjust the speed to 0.5x if you can't see the parts clearly.]
[Even the snake was stunned. How could someone be faster than me!]
[I just watched the video replay. The snake was stunned for a moment when it saw Yun Jian take the medicine from its hole. It was probably taken aback by the speed.]
[It has to be said, Yun Jian's maxed-out agility is like a cheat code; with enough speed, he can do whatever he wants!]
[Other players fight tooth and nail and need a bit of luck to get a single red potion, but Yunjian treats it like harvesting leeks. I want to shout on behalf of all the other players: This is unfair!]
[What's unfair about it? Yun Jian's agility stat was earned little by little.]
...
On the other side, Bai Yu and Xiao Zhen split up again, with Bai Yu going to get the purple medicine and Xiao Zhen going to get the yellow medicine.
At first, Bai Yu was a little reluctant: "Are you looking down on me by asking me to get the simplest purple medicine?"
Xiao Zhen gently advised, "Because Brother Bai Yu, you are injured! Your hand is injured, so you can't climb rocks or trees. Why make things difficult for yourself?"
Bai Yu was speechless after being cornered.
He left in a muffled voice.
Yellow herbs are already rarer than purple herbs, and Xiao Zhen is quick, so she quickly harvested all the yellow herbs. She looked in Bai Yu's direction, thought for a moment, and then turned and walked towards a red halo.
She first observed carefully from a distance to make sure the snake hadn't noticed her before slowly approaching.
However, what Xiao Zhen didn't notice was that two lewd-looking men had somehow appeared behind her.
Xiao Zhen's attention was entirely focused on the snake's den. The snake was languid, its eyes slightly closed, but its forked tongue kept flicking out, making it impossible for anyone to let their guard down.
She picked up a small stone and threw it into the snake's nest.
It missed.
But the commotion was enough to startle the snake, which immediately raised its head and flicked its tongue more frequently. Its pair of yellow vertical pupils sent chills down one's spine.
Xiao Zhen was so nervous that she didn't dare to move again.
Just as she was about to make another commotion to attract the snake's attention and lure it away, a sudden gust of wind arose. Even though Xiao Zhen held onto a large tree, she couldn't withstand the wind's force. With no success in resisting, she was pushed forward a step by the wind.
Now, she was directly exposed to the snake's sight.
The already wary snake turned its head, its forked tongue rapidly extending and retracting towards Xiao Zhen, while hissing.
Xiao Zhen dared not move again. She believed that if she moved even slightly, the snake would bite her without hesitation.
The two sides were locked in a standoff, and the atmosphere remained tense for a time.
Finally, the snake lost patience, swung its tail, and swam towards Xiao Zhen.
Knowing she couldn't wait any longer, Xiao Zhen quickly took out a basin of water from her system inventory and splashed it in front of her without hesitation, skillfully creating a water curtain in the air.
She quickly activated her skill, turning the water curtain into ice.
After completing the set of movements, Xiao Zhen gasped for breath. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear. On the other side of the ice curtain, the snake's mouth was wide open, and a pair of sharp fangs were partially embedded in the ice curtain.
If she had reacted even a second slower, those fangs wouldn't have been embedded in the ice, but in her flesh!
She had just calmed down when she saw the snake's head wriggling behind the ice curtain, followed by the sound of ice scraping against its teeth. She knew something was wrong and quickly moved away from the ice curtain. The snake struggled a couple of times and then retreated from the ice.
The chill intensified in his yellow, vertical pupils.
However, the snake did not choose to continue attacking Xiao Zhen, but instead made a strange and piercing sound.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Zhen was about to retreat when she heard a more intense hissing sound coming from all directions. She turned her head and looked around, and suddenly found that there were many more snakes around her!
Strangely, the hissing sounds of the snakes gradually synchronized and merged together. Xiao Zhen felt as if her head had been hit hard, and she felt dizzy.
She quickly covered her ears.
However, the discomfort did not subside, and what was even more terrifying was that she found the snakes getting closer and closer to her!
If she doesn't take action soon, she'll definitely die from these guys' poisonous mouths!
She had escape tools, but snakes were all around her, and she couldn't find a way out!
Finally, Xiao Zhen simply soaked herself in water from head to toe, then activated her skill to turn water into ice, freezing herself into an icicle.
These snakes couldn't bite her; they couldn't find a place to bite her.
Over time, the snakes dispersed.
But there were always a few persistent snakes that wouldn't give up. So Xiao Zhen melted a crack around the base of her thigh and slowly moved toward the snake's den.
The snake guarding the medicine was persistent, trying to find a place to bite, but the hard ice almost shattered its fangs.
In the end, Xiao Zhen actually managed to get the medicine.
Xiao Zhen was overjoyed, but she didn't let her guard down. Still wearing her ice suit, she slowly moved out, with the snake guarding the medicine following her closely.
Just as Xiao Zhen moved to a safe distance and was about to remove her ice suit and put on her escape gear, a "splat" sound came from behind her. She felt something warm spray onto the ice—it was snake blood!
At the same time, she saw two men appear in front of her.
"You're quite something, little girl. You actually got the red medicine. Uncle desperately needs it. Give it to me, and I'll spare your life, okay?"
