Chapter 844 Poison Mountain
At this time, the season has entered November. At night, it is extremely cold on the mountain. It is biting and gloomy. It feels a bit colder than the coldest days in the capital.
Before coming, Xia Zihan had brought enough clothes, but at night, she still felt very cold, and the air-conditioning was like a needle tip drilling into her sweat pores.
She was afraid of the cold before. After giving birth, her body became a little weaker, and her body became even more afraid of the cold.
At night, her lips would turn purple from the cold. Chu Jingqi held her tightly in his arms, wrapped her whole body in his cloak, put a hand on her back, and sent some internal energy to her from time to time. , keep her body warm, and she will feel better.
But as a result, Chu Jingqi couldn't rest all night and lost a lot of internal energy. In the morning, he looked tired on his face.
Xia Zihan felt sorry for him and wouldn't let him deliver his inner energy to her, but when she fell asleep, Chu Jingqi, who was worried that she would be attacked by the cold, would still use his inner energy to keep her warm from time to time.
"Aqi, I'm fine, hurry up and take some time to rest." Xia Zihan woke up before dawn. Throughout the night, she slept peacefully and warmly because of Chu Jingqi's protection.
However, she felt extremely distressed when she saw that Chu Jingqi had not slept all night, with a look of fatigue on her face.
"Don't get up, it's still early." Chu Jingqi said, then he hugged her, put his head on her shoulder, and soon fell asleep.
Chu Jingqi was indeed tired.
He was exhausted after a fierce fight with the giant python yesterday. Later, he didn't rest all night and had to feed his Ayu's internal energy. He was already so tired that he almost had no strength.
Seeing that it was still a while before dawn and Ayu woke up, he took the time to rest.
When he woke up, everyone was awake and had breakfast. Ao Tianchen was arranging the guards who were injured by the giant python yesterday.
Ao Tianchen and Fox mobilized twenty guards from their respective guards, escorted more than ten injured guards to the foot of the waterfall, and asked more than thirty people to wait for them at the foot of the waterfall.
After Chu Jingqi woke up, she ate two pieces of roasted python meat left over from last night, and then she and Ao Tianchen took the remaining seventy people and flew to the top of the mountain.
After passing through the thorny field, they found a trace that was clearly trampled by someone. They followed the trace and went straight up.
However, not long after walking, they discovered that there were more and more poisons in the grass. After walking for half a day, the poisonous insects, snakes and ants around them were so dense and unbelievable that it made people's hair stand on end.
Even if they were sprinkled with poisonous insect repellent powder, it would not be able to drive away so many poisonous insects. Soon, one of the guards was accidentally bitten by a poisonous centipede that fell from a tree onto his face.
The whole face turned black instantly, and blood overflowed from several deep and sharp tooth marks. The blood was like feces in the sewer, black and smelly, and the guard quickly fell into a coma. , so fast that Xia Zihan didn't even have time to feed him Jiedu pills.
The poisoned guard fell into a coma, his whole head turned black, and the poisonous gas was still spreading down to his neck. Xia Zihan hurried over, took out an antidote pill, opened the guard's mouth, and stuffed it in.
Chu Jingqi also quickly tapped several key points on the guard's body.
"What should I do, Aqi, I don't have many detoxification pills with me, but there are too many poisons here. If everyone is bitten by poisonous insects, these detoxification pills on my body will definitely not be enough." Xia Zihan said worriedly.
She regretted not preparing more antidote pills before going into the mountains.
She only prepared some insect repellent powder. She thought that with those powders, they would be just in case, but she didn't expect that there would be so many poisons on the mountain.
Chu Jingqi called Ao Tianchen, and the two discussed the matter. Ao Tianchen asked Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu, how many detoxification pills do you still have on your body?"
"There are only twenty pills. I used one just now and could still save nineteen people." Xia Zihan said.
"Princess, doesn't the poison-repelling insect powder detoxify?" Chuan Qiong suddenly remembered that the guard who was bitten by a snake before applied the powder and the snake venom was eliminated.
"That can only detoxify snake venom, but there are a lot of poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, and poisonous ants here. If we didn't have the powder, I'm afraid we would have been devoured by poisonous ants and poisonous spiders without leaving any bones." Xia Zi Han said.
Xia Zihan also regretted not adding a few more detoxifying herbs into it, otherwise, he wouldn't be so helpless now.
She looked at Ao Tianchen and said, "Little Prince, there are too many poisonous insects here. Without antidote pills, we can't walk through it at all. Otherwise, let's retreat to the foot of the waterfall. Let's find some antidote medicine on the mountain first. I'll give you a pair." Everyone is coming after drinking the detoxifying soup.”
"That's the only thing we can do." Ao Tianchen was also at a loss to deal with the poison, so he could only withdraw first.
We can't ignore the lives of these seventy people and move forward.
He was sure that there must be more poison than this.
"These poisons must have been raised by someone and deliberately placed here to block the road." He guessed.
"This Miao people are too insidious." Gan Song couldn't help but curse.
Chu Lin hummed and said, "They are called cautious. Without those thorns and these poisons, we might have broken into their residence long ago."
"I don't know how Young Master Chu and the others got there at that time?" Chuan Qiong turned around and looked at the patches of poison, his scalp numb.
Xia Zihan was just about to turn around and go down the mountain when she heard him muttering and suddenly thought of a way, "Aqi, young prince, maybe it won't take long for us to walk through this poisonous mountain."
"I remember that my master said that what these poisonous creatures fear most is not the poison-repelling insect powder, but fire. As long as each of us holds a torch, add some poison to the fire, and then add the poison-repelling insect powder, We will definitely be able to get through Poison Mountain safely.”
Xia Zihan's suggestion gave hope to everyone who looked decadent.
Ao Tianchen said, "Okay, I will be responsible for making the torch, and you will suffer from the drug powder."
"I have some drug here, it's enough."
She carried a large bag of intoxicating drugs with her. The drug was so powerful that it would cause anyone to fall into coma immediately if they smelled it.
These powders were specially brought by her to deal with the Miao people. However, after taking some out and adding them to the torches, the rest was enough to stun 20,000 people.
Since they plan to use poison, they don't need to go down the mountain, they just need to exit the poison area.
Before the sun went down, everyone returned to the place where they rested last night. They first started making torches, then ate some game, and then rested for the night. After recuperating enough energy, they went to the poison area early the next morning. .
