A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1557 Pests, combining the advantages of many poisons
Feng Qingchen's puffed up hand disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the black blood was squeezed out, and what flowed out later was all bright red blood. The skin on the hand also returned to its original color, but...
Because it was swollen too much before, now that the poisonous blood has been cleared, the skin on Feng Qingchen's hand is wrinkled and drooping on the back of his hand, folded layer by layer, looking like the skin of an old man.
"It's really ugly." Feng Qingchen was trying to have fun in the midst of suffering. She squeezed the poisonous blood out of her hands, but she still had no feeling.
"Move it and see if it feels better." The Ninth Prince asked expectantly.
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly, but his wrist did not move.
She also wanted to move, but her hands wouldn't obey.
"It still doesn't seem to work." Feng Qingchen was in a low mood, but she still forced a smile, because the Ninth Prince's expression was uglier than hers.
But the Ninth Prince didn't appreciate it at all, and said rudely: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's ugly."
"You are so difficult to please. If I don't smile, will I cry in front of you?" Feng Qingchen really didn't feel that bad now. Seeing the solemn face of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen said optimistically: "Okay, don't look so grim. My hand is not broken, maybe it will be healed in a few days."
"Let's go back to Jiangnan now and look for Guo Baoji." The Ninth Prince did not pin his hopes on such an illusory possibility.
Compared with the Lu family’s wealth, Feng Qingchen’s hands are more important.
"No." But Feng Qingchen disagreed: "We have come all the way here, I won't give up at this time."
"You can earn money if you don't have it, but you can't with your hands." If he was injured, he would definitely not withdraw at this time, but Feng Qingchen was different.
"If we return now, it will take at least a month to reach Jiangnan. Are you sure my hand can wait for a month?" Feng Qingchen put the cruel facts in front of the Ninth Uncle.
Going back to Jiangnan to find Guo Baoji at this time is just deceiving myself and others, so why bother?
"It's better than having no chance at all." The Ninth Prince's handsome face was tense and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"I'm unwilling to give up the success that I have achieved for such a tiny possibility. Besides... I'm a doctor myself, and my hand was poisoned here. Maybe the antidote can be found on this island." Feng Qingchen remembered what Guo Baoji once said, that for general animal poisons, the antidote can be found around the animal.
"Let's go find the ant colony and find the ant king. Maybe we can detoxify it." Feng Qingchen had no research on poison, but she believed in Guo Baoji.
Of course, if she really found the Ant King and boiled him into medicine, she would test it first to make sure it can detoxify before using it on herself. She would not joke with her own hands.
The Ninth Prince did not answer, but looked at Feng Qingchen without blinking. Just when Feng Qingchen thought that the Ninth Prince would insist on his decision to return to Jiangnan, the Ninth Prince nodded slightly.
Is this a compromise?
Feng Qingchen felt better again. Seeing the Ninth Prince being humiliated, she felt satisfied.
Because Feng Qingchen's hand was injured, the two of them didn't talk much on the way. The Ninth Prince blamed himself, and Feng Qingchen gave up because the Ninth Prince still didn't listen after countless persuasions.
Feng Qingchen couldn't understand why the Ninth Prince was blaming himself. She was stung by the ant entirely because of her own carelessness and it had nothing to do with the Ninth Prince.
Facing hundreds of millions of ants, no matter how careful one is, it is easy to be ambushed. Feng Qingchen felt lucky that he did not lose his life.
The ant colonies appeared in front of them in groups, and wherever they went, they left obvious traces, making them very easy to find.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince just need to follow the trail and walk all the way there.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince saw a group of rocks. The rocks were scattered all over the ground, interlaced and stacked, looking like a rockery forest, but Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince knew that these rocks should have been hit by the waves.
Each stone was extremely smooth, showing that they had been washed by the waves. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were lucky, as they arrived in time, and the traces left by the ants on the stones were not washed away by the waves.
The two of them stepped into the rocks with great caution and walked forward on the stones. Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince had slowed down their pace, but even so, Feng Qingchen almost slipped.
It wasn't that Feng Qingchen was careless, but the stones were too slippery. Some of the stones were covered with green moss, and they would slide down as soon as you stepped on them.
"What are those people in front doing? No one has ever walked through this damn place." Feng Qingchen was so angry that he took his anger out on those people from the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities.
With so many people leading the way ahead, how could something happen to the two of them as soon as they got on the island? It's unscientific.
Could it be that those people in front were rushing forward with their eyes closed?
"We are taking a different path from them." The Ninth Prince was not making excuses for those things, but telling the truth.
Feng Qingchen knew that he was taking his anger out on others, so he stopped arguing and held on to the Ninth Prince's hand, moving forward step by step. Occasionally, he slipped, but was caught in time by the Ninth Prince, thus avoiding the possibility of falling and getting bruised and battered.
It was just a pile of rocks, but it took the two of them half an hour to get out of the pile of rocks. Feng Qingchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued forward...
After passing through the rocks, there is a very narrow path. On both sides of the path are two huge stones with very smooth surfaces, as if they were cut with a knife.
This path is like a wave, splitting a huge rock in two, then breaking them apart and leaving a path.
The two men walked along the path, one in front and one behind. They thought that at the end of the path, there would be a reef cave or something, but instead they saw a weed field.
The weeds were as tall as a man, blocking their view.
"I'll go and take a look." The Ninth Prince let go of Feng Qingchen's hand, tiptoed, and jumped onto the bushes. After staying there for half a second, the Ninth Prince quickly jumped down, but his expression was three points more solemn than before.
"Qingchen, we seem to have arrived at the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects." Uncle Jiu said calmly, but the meaning of his words frightened Feng Qingchen: "What do you mean?"
"There are a lot of bugs hiding in the bushes." The Ninth Prince raised his sword and pointed it at the center of the bushes. "There are all kinds of bugs, ants, scorpions, spiders. There are tens of thousands of them, and they are fighting each other."
"How could this happen?" Feng Qingchen thought of the scene of the insects gathering together and couldn't help but take a step back: "Why are there so many insects gathered here? Could it be that someone is raising Gu here?"
Guo Baoji once said that some ancient races in the previous dynasty were good at raising top-quality Gu.
They don't raise Gu with creatures of the same kind, but put different creatures together and use special medicine to make them kill and devour each other, until only one top-grade Gu is left.
The Gu created using this method can combine the strengths of various poisons to create a feared Gu King. Of course, the Gu will also look extremely strange.
Feng Qingchen thought of the Ninth Prince's nails, the human-faced spiders and half-mermans he had written about, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.
Could it be that those monsters were the Gu Kings that were raised before?
If this is true, then this island is really dangerous...
