Chapter 1685: I want to hide my achievements and fame
Southern Xinjiang is located among the Hundred Thousand Mountains and has been shrouded in mystery since ancient times.
Although there were official dealings with Dayan, the contacts were not close.
Even though the imperial court opened up trade between the two countries, only a very small number of daring merchants traveled between the two countries and conducted trade activities.
There is no way. Southern Xinjiang is the world of poisonous insects, venomous insects and ferocious beasts, and ordinary people dare not set foot there.
Tang Bao and others followed the map given by Doctor Hua and soon stepped into a poisonous fog.
The light green mist is highly poisonous, and the visibility is very low, which makes people panic.
Fortunately, each of them had an antidote to the poison in their mouths, so they were not afraid of being poisoned.
However, soon after everyone entered the poisonous fog, they encountered white bones lying all over the ground.
No, they can no longer be called white bones because the bones have turned black.
Some were human, some were animal, and some were weapons covered in green rust...
Everyone's heart was lifted.
"ah!"
Princess Linghua suddenly screamed, and saw a colorful big snake poking its head out from the branch next to it.
Even someone without common sense can guess that this snake is extremely poisonous.
Everyone couldn't help but show nervous expressions.
Several guards held the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on the poisonous snake on the tree.
At this time, even someone as brave as Xia Siya took a step back in fear.
Princess Linghua was so frightened that she almost fainted.
There is no way, this snake is not only brightly colored, but most importantly, it has a head on the branch next to it.
——Two-headed snake!
Erpan carefully carried Princess Linghua behind him and stared at the poisonous snake on the tree with full vigilance.
Tang Bao shook her head secretly.
She had already asked Xiaohong to clear the area, so why was there still someone disobeying orders?
Could it be that he relies on the strength of his poison?
Tang Bao raised his wrist, and a small green snake shot out like a ray of light and headed straight for the big snake on the tree.
Before anyone could see what was happening, the big snake on the tree fell off the trunk with a "thump".
Then he twitched violently a few times on the ground and stopped moving.
Everyone: “…”
Not moving?
Tang Bao sighed and said, "You're courting death. Let's go."
Everyone: “…”
What's going on?
"Sister Fuya, is this snake... dead?" Xia Siya asked with lingering fear.
"Dead." Tang Bao answered calmly.
"How, how did he die?" Xia Siya asked the question that everyone was thinking.
Except for Xuanyuan Jin and Shi Liu, everyone else looked at Tang Bao with confusion, waiting for Tang Bao to answer.
"Tang Bao: "...Maybe he was poisoned to death."
To be honest, Tang Bao didn't see Xiao Hong's actions clearly.
Anyway, Little Red scurried over, and then the snake fell down and died.
As for Xiaohong, she tried to make amends by clearing the area carefully.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Tang Bao's words.
Poisoned to death?
What poisoned him to death?
This snake looks extremely poisonous. How strong must the poison be to be able to kill a snake like this in an instant?
Everyone looked around as if they were facing a great enemy.
There is silence all around, and the years are peaceful.
When Tang Bao saw this, she quickly said, "Maybe he was scared to death because of how many of us there are."
Everyone: “…”
Are you trying to coax someone?
Are we so stupid?
However, Xia Siya soon calmed down.
I thought to myself that I was too picky.
This snake jumped out to scare Sister Fuya, but it is just seeking its own death!
You deserve to be scared to death!
I've been with sister Fuya for so many years, what kind of strange and weird things have I not encountered?
So what if you scare a poisonous snake to death?
Very normal!
"Sister Fuya is right!"
Xia Siya instantly regained the same calm expression as Tang Bao.
Da Pan opened his mouth. Was he dazzled just now?
Why did he feel like something flew out of his aunt's hand?
Then the venomous snake fell from the tree and died...
Da Pan looked at Er Pan, wanting to use his eyes to ask his brother, did you see it?
Unfortunately, Erpan wiped a cold sweat and did not respond to his elder brother's gaze.
Da Pan: "..."
What about tacit understanding?
Shi Liu kicked the dead snake to the side.
"Let's go, it's already dead." Shi Liu said casually, "It's just a snake. It's dead anyway. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Shi Liu naturally knew that her young lady had a magic weapon in her hand.
However, since the lady didn't point it out clearly, she wouldn't say anything nonsense.
After hearing what Shi Liu said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at the calm and relaxed pomegranate.
Pomegranate:"……"
Why are you looking at me?
Shouldn't you look at the lady?
Pomegranate looked puzzled.
Everyone present knew Shi Liu's identity. Thinking of the abundance of poisonous insects and fierce beasts in southern Xinjiang, they couldn't help but look at Shi Liu with eagerness.
Could it be that he was scared to death by the pomegranate?
You know, they had just set foot in the territory of southern Xinjiang and encountered this two-headed snake.
Who knows what terrible things are waiting for them!
Princess Linghua said earnestly, "Shiliu, we are good sisters. You must protect me from now on."
Pomegranate patted his chest.
"no problem!"
Er Pan: “…”
It was me who protected you just now!
"Shi Liu, and me! We have known each other since childhood!" Xia Siya said hurriedly.
Da Pan: "..."
Can't I protect you?
"Of course! Don't worry, I will protect you!" Shi Liu's face was full of heroism, and she didn't notice at all the heartbroken looks of her two grandmasters.
Several guards opened their mouths.
They also wanted the pomegranate to protect them.
Since they were able to follow Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao to Southern Xinjiang, they must be absolutely trustworthy people.
Therefore, he was well aware of Shi Liu's identity.
However, due to the sake of face, several people were too embarrassed to speak.
Everyone continued to move forward.
Although there was a light green poisonous fog all around, and occasionally there was a faint "rustling" sound in the fog, no poisonous insects or snakes appeared in people's sight.
It can be said that, except for the poisonous snake that sought its own death, everyone else had a very smooth journey.
Apart from the bones scattered all over the ground, which was shocking, no one encountered any danger.
"call--"
The guards looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally got out!
Zhao Wu looked at the woods shrouded in light green mist and said with a sigh, "This place is simply a natural barrier. With this barrier in place, it is extremely difficult to invade southern Xinjiang."
No wonder when war broke out between Dayan and Southern Xinjiang in the early years, Dayan suffered heavy casualties.
There’s no telling how many people will die just by passing through this poisonous fog forest.
This can be seen just by looking at the number of skeletons in the forest.
Princess Linghua patted her chest and said, "Is it that difficult? It's easy to get through this!"
Nothing was encountered except a snake.
Everyone: “…”
It's ridiculously easy.
"That's because my aunt is here!" Er Pan said proudly. "Everyone on the border knows that if you want to cross this poisonous fog, you'll be in great danger of death. Not only is the poisonous gas here life-threatening, but it's also filled with venomous snakes and insects. If you're not careful, you'll get bitten."
Da Pan nodded and said, "Now that my aunt is here, those poisonous snakes and insects dare not come out and stay far away, so we can get out easily."
Others: “…”
They all looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
In fact, I want to keep my achievements and fame to myself.
What can I do? My nephew is so awesome!
Xuanyuan Jin touched Tang Bao's head and said, "Thank goodness for you."
Tang Bao: "...Well, thank goodness I'm here!"
Tang Bao nodded with a smile.
Everyone: “…”
Not pretending anymore?
