Volume 1 Chapter 173: Surrounded by Venomous Snakes
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and found that Zhu Qiyu was too close, causing Jiang Fei to spit out a mouthful of black blood on him.
The little white poisonous insect actually took advantage of any gap it could find and drilled into Zhu Qiyu's trouser leg the moment it came out. It then bit through the skin on his right calf and drilled into his body.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear the piercing pain any more. He collapsed to the ground in an instant, covering his right leg and screaming madly, rolling on the ground.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei rushed over to support him. Jiang Yue tore open the trouser cloth on his right leg, revealing his calf with a bloody hole.
I saw a small bulge in the skin ten centimeters above his ankle, which confirmed that the poisonous insect was at that location, and was crawling rapidly towards his calf and even thigh.
But Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei looked at each other and hesitated to take action.
They had just experienced the power of this poisonous insect. Once it entered the body, it did not just attach itself to the skin and flesh, but a sinister poisonous gas went straight through the blood vessels. Within three minutes, it would cause severe pain all over the body. The black blood they vomited was caused by the poisonous gas.
And if you want to completely expel this poisonous insect, you not only have to take out its body, but also eradicate the poisonous gas completely, otherwise it will be useless.
This poisonous insect has a very violent temper. Once it senses danger, it will go crazy, causing the pain in the body to increase several times. The reason why the two of them were sweating all over their bodies was because of the pain.
Precisely because of such trouble, the two of them, with Taixu Qi protecting their bodies, put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot of torture before they were able to drive the poisonous insect out.
Now that Zhu Qiyu has been infected with the Gu, they really dare not use Taixu Qi to exorcise it, for fear that if they are not careful, the Gu worms will riot and harm Zhu Qiyu's life.
Zhu Qiyu was already sweating profusely from the pain. The next moment, he tightly grasped Jiang Yue's shoulders and said in agony, "Save me, save me quickly!"
Jiang Yue frowned and took a deep breath. It was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure. After letting his heartbeat calm down a little, he immediately used Taixu Qi to check Zhu Qiyu's physical condition.
The next moment he said in a deep voice: "The poison has not yet spread to your thigh. There is only one way to completely solve it now, and that is to cut off your entire calf. Only in this way can you survive!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu quickly said, "No! I still have to fight on the battlefield and serve as an official in the court to benefit the people. I absolutely cannot lose this leg!"
If you become a disabled person, you will not be able to be an official according to the etiquette and law!
Without legs, it would be impossible for him to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. His fate in this life is to die of old age in the countryside!
He is still young and has not even lived half of his life. Such an ending is not his life and he is not willing to live like this, so he would rather die than not save his leg!
"But..." Jiang Yue said with some embarrassment: "Prime Minister Zhu, staying alive is more important than anything else!"
"Stop talking and look!" Jiang Fei shouted in surprise. The two of them looked and saw that the insect on the calf actually increased its speed at this moment. It drilled into Zhu Qiyu's thigh in the blink of an eye, and the next moment it went towards the inner thigh.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei both gasped. Only Zhu Qiyu was very decisive in the face of major issues. He immediately pointed at his thigh and shouted, "Quick, saw off my right leg immediately, cut it off now, immediately!"
"It's too late now!" Jiang Yue shouted angrily. The next moment, regardless of anything else, he immediately used a large amount of Taixu Qi to press towards the location where the poisonous insect was.
Suddenly, the poisonous insect could no longer move and could not move forward at all, but the next moment it struggled frantically. Zhu Qiyu also screamed loudly at this moment, and his body kept twitching. It was obvious that he was in great pain, which was simply unbearable for an ordinary person.
"Jiang Fei, help!"
Jiang Yue shouted, and Jiang Fei quickly sent his Taixu Qi into Zhu Qiyu's body, and began to slowly clear out the poison in Zhu Qiyu's body.
This approach is very dangerous. After all, Taixu Qi is extremely powerful and is not Zhu Qiyu's own strength. Once it enters the body, the two brothers' control over Taixu Qi will be greatly reduced. If one of them loses control, Taixu Qi will easily riot.
At that time, the Taixu Qi exploded in Zhu Qiyu's body, and he would definitely be blown into countless pieces in the first place, with no intact body left.
But now there is no other choice. If the poisonous insect is not forced out, Zhu Qiyu will die anyway!
"Prime Minister Zhu, relax your whole body and don't move. This is a matter of life and death!"
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly endured the pain and stopped struggling, but his body was constantly shaking and his face was distorted, obviously in extreme pain.
As time went by, the bulging flesh lump at the location of the poisonous insect under Jiang Yue's palm grew bigger and bigger. The next moment, it became half the size of a fist and its color turned purple-black.
"Brother, hurry up, I can't control myself anymore!" Jiang Fei said with great difficulty, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Yue didn't reply to him, obviously his condition was not good either. He slowly pulled out the Longquan Sword from Jiang Fei's waist, and the next moment he slashed at the purple-black bag!
Suddenly, a meat bag as big as half a fist exploded, and a large amount of black blood spurted out. After the little white worm fell to the ground, it ran away quickly.
Jiang Fei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He immediately stepped hard on the insect and then crushed it madly, killing it to the point of death!
At the same time, Zhu Qiyu let out a long howl, covering his right thigh which kept twitching. Fortunately, his willpower was still strong and he did not faint.
It was not until then that Jiang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath with lingering fear. Zhu Qiyu was the same, and it was difficult for him to catch his breath.
Jiang Fei walked forward, took a piece of rag, and bandaged the wound on Zhu Qiyu's thigh.
The three of them fell into silence. After a long while, Zhu Qiyu calmed down and said with some difficulty: "After listening to you talk about the effect of this insect, I seem to know what it is!"
The two looked over and saw Zhu Qiyu covering his face and saying in pain: "If I remember correctly, this Gu is called Ice Silkworm Gu!
According to records, the Ice Silkworm Gu is made by burying eighteen kinds of poisonous animals, such as snakes and centipedes, in the center of a place where people pass by every day. After 49 days, it is taken out and stored in an incense burner to settle.
Finally, when all the essences merged into one, they turned into an ice silkworm the size of a fingernail. It was spiritual, extremely poisonous, and the most difficult to remove. "
"I've heard about the poison of the Black Witch Country for a long time. Today I experienced it myself, and it's really powerful!" Zhu Qiyu said with lingering fear.
Jiang Yue said with a sullen face: "The poison is not scary. What is scary is the way they poisoned it. It is hard to guard against and there is no trace left!"
"I'm just afraid that if this kind of ice silkworm Gu is used on a large scale, then our nearly 300,000-strong army may collapse in an instant!"
"Jiang Fei and I can save one or two people, but we can't save tens of thousands of people!"
The faces of the three people all became extremely ugly at this moment. At this moment, Jiang Fei's nose moved, his brows frowned, and he said softly: "What is this smell, why is it so fishy!"
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
Suddenly, the sound of snakes chirping was heard. The three of them stood up immediately and saw countless poisonous snakes crawling out from the gate in front of them, each with its tongue hanging out, crawling rapidly towards the three of them.
There are Bungarus multicinctus, Agkistrodon acutus, Agkistrodon acutus, Viper viper, White-lipped Pit Viper, and even Black Tiger Snake!
There are all kinds of poisonous snakes, and each one is extremely poisonous. If an ordinary person is bitten by one, he will die!
Seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling. Suddenly, Jiang Yue and the others looked behind them and saw that a dense group of poisonous snakes had crawled out of the hall and were also crawling towards them.
Attacked from both sides, they were surrounded!
"What should we do now?" Zhu Qiyu shouted in panic.
With so many poisonous snakes, one can either be overwhelmed by them or try to break out. However, with so many of them, no matter how hard one tries, one will definitely be bitten by any of them!
In this way, even if you can escape from the encirclement of these poisonous snakes, you will die miserably from the snake venom.
The faces of the two brothers Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei were not looking good either. They knew in their hearts that with the Taixu Qi, neither the poisonous snake nor the snake venom could do anything to them.
But now, the two of them have consumed too much Taixu Qi in order to get rid of the ice silkworm Gu, and are now in a weak state.
If there were only the poisonous snakes in front of them, it would be fine. But looking at the densely packed poisonous snakes crawling over, they were afraid that there were far more than just these few. If that happened, the two of them would die here.
Jiang Yue was worried that if the City Lord's Mansion became surrounded by poisonous snakes, then what about their army of nearly 300,000 outside? Are their lives in danger?
If all these troops were killed by the poisonous snakes, that would be real despair. Without the army, participating in any war would be a joke!
"Is this the so-called Five Poison Magic? It's really powerful!" Jiang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know how they targeted the three of us. First they put a poison on us, then they lured in poisonous snakes, and then they killed us in a chain reaction. If it were an ordinary person, we would have died long ago!"
Jiang Yue also said in a deep voice: "It seems that all this was done by Marshal Guo Ziyi. We really underestimated him. What a trick!"
"Jiang Fei, can you hold on?"
Jiang Fei said as a matter of course: "This is natural!"
"Okay, the two of us brothers will take Prime Minister Zhu with us to fight our way out. Remember, try not to use Taixu Qi if you can. Leave a little more just in case and use it to remove poison!" Jiang Yue warned.
At this moment, a black tiger snake fell from the sky and landed directly on Zhu Qiyu's head, and the snake's body even wrapped around his neck.
A cold touch came over him, and Zhu Qiyu was so scared that he was about to scream, but he saw the black tiger snake's head staring at him. The next moment, it opened its bloody mouth, revealing two sharp and long fangs with deadly venom, and then bit towards Zhu Qiyu's mouth fiercely!
This was too much. Zhu Qiyu was so frightened that he was like a rabbit with its fur standing on end. He didn't even care about the injury on his right leg. He jumped up and struggled frantically, wishing he could shake his head off.
