Chapter 483 - 453. A Thrilling Moment
Qin Yuer put down the venison and stood up. She whispered to Su Qing, “I want to go to the toilet!”
“Xiao Qi, follow her.”
Su Qing didn’t even turn around and sent Xiao Qi to go with her. Qin Yuer’s face immediately turned red.
“No need, I’ll go by myself.”
Xiao Qi was also a little embarrassed.
“No.”
Su Qing stood up and handed the venison to Xiao Zeyu. He looked at Qin Yuer coldly and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Coincidentally, she also wanted to go to the toilet, so she solved it on the way. “Alright then!”
Qin Yuer seemed very reluctant, but she did not refuse. She turned around and walked towards the bushes.
Su Qing looked at the bushes, her eyes as cold as ice. Suddenly, she took out a grenade, pulled Qin Yuer over, and threw it into the bushes.
As the explosion sounded, more than a dozen figures were blown up into the sky. An arm fell in front of Qin Yuer. She screamed and ran back, but Su Qing pulled her collar and threw her to the ground.
Qin Yuer looked at Su Qing in horror. She was too scary!
“If you don’t behave yourself, I’ll cut your face!”
Su Qing pressed the tip of the sword against Qin Yuer’s face. She had heard a sound from the bushes just now, and then Qin Yuer said that she wanted to go to the toilet. How could there be such a coincidence?
There must be a trap in this bush. She didn’t want to look. She just wanted to blow it up.
Qm Yuer was so scared that she was trembling. She could not even speak and just nodded her head.
Xiao Zeyu looked at her coldly. He couldn’t kill her now. He had to wait until Qin Tie confirmed her identity.
The group ate and drank their fill before continuing to walk deeper into the mountains. Su Qing took the map drawn by the fake Qin Tie and studied it with Xiao Zeyu.
“We should be able to reach it in another two hours. There must be traps everywhere.”
Xiao Zeyu jumped onto a tree and looked around. After confirming where Qin Tie was locked up on the map, he jumped down and said to Su Qing.
“Everyone, take your medicine.”
Su Qing handed each person a pill. This pill could restore one’s physical strength. There was a tough battle to fight next, so they had to maintain their physical strength.
“I… What about mine?”
Qin Yuer asked timidly when she saw that Su Qing had given everyone medicine but not hers.
Su Qing glanced at her and threw a pill to Qin Yuer. She couldn’t walk anymore and was delaying everyone’s progress.
Qin Yuer took the medicine and did not cause trouble for Su Qing and the others along the way. She followed them obediently.
An hour later, they arrived at a valley. The scenery here was more beautiful than other places. White fog floated in the valley, and people seemed to be standing on the clouds. The valley was surrounded by rare herbs and colorful wildflowers. It was as colorful as a beautiful oil painting.
However, with so many flowers, the air should be fragrant. However, there was a fishy smell floating in the valley. The smell was very strong and unbearable.
This smell isn’t right. It should be poisonous.”
Zhou Bo was experienced and knowledgeable. He immediately noticed that something was wrong and stopped Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu from going any further.
“This is Five Poison Valley. It’s filled with poisonous things, so naturally, there will be a stench.”
Su Qing looked down at the valley from above. They couldn’t throw grenades into such a large amount of marsh gas. If they caused a marsh gas explosion, they wouldn’t be able to survive.
“This place can’t hold people.”
Zhou Bo shook his head. Wouldn’t he die if he locked her up here?
Qin Yuer stood quietly at the edge of the valley and looked at the bottom of the valley. Her lips moved slightly, and a soft voice came out of her mouth. Su Qing slapped her, causing Qin Yuer to fall to the ground. She looked at Su Qing innocently and said,
“Why did you hit me?”
“If you dare to play tricks again, I’ll throw you down.”
Su Qing pressed Qin Yuer’s mute acupoint with a cold face to stop her from playing any more tricks.
Qin Yuer couldn’t make a sound. She covered her face and sat under the tree. She looked at Su Qing and the others. Her eyes were cold, just like last night.
“Tie her up.”
Su Qing asked the soldiers to tie Qin Yuer up. She stared at the valley. There were sounds coming from the valley. Soon, the sounds became louder and the smell of blood became stronger.
“Everyone, step back.”
Zhou Bo quickly called for everyone to retreat. Su Qing threw a bag of realgar down. Realgar was the nemesis of poisonous snakes, but she felt that there were more venomous snakes in this valley, so retreating to a safe place was the wisest choice.
Not long after they retreated, a group of red and black scorpions climbed up from the valley. They were very fast and there were many of them. They were so densely packed that they gave people goosebumps.
“Light the fire.”
Su Qing ordered everyone to start a fire to burn the scorpion. Xiao Qi took out mint and mugworts from the system. The scorpion was afraid of the smell of these two herbs, so Su Qing lit the mint and mugworts with fire. The air was filled with the smell of mint and mugworts.
However, these scorpions did not seem to be afraid of death. After the scorpions in front were burned to death, the scorpions behind them rushed forward, but they seemed to be very unafraid of the smell of mugworts and mint. They walked around the place where the mugworts were lit.
Seeing that these were useless, Xiao Qi ran back to the system and took out the oil jar. Su Qing threw the oil jar at the scorpions and quickly lit it up.
Thousands of scorpions were burned by the fire, separating Su Qing and the others from the scorpions.
Seeing the scorpion rolling in the fire and hearing the sound of the fire burning the scorpion was really terrifying.
The ten soldiers would rather go to the battlefield to kill their enemies than see such a scene. It was really a nightmare. When they closed their eyes, they would be attacked by a dense group of scorpions. That scene could make people collapse.
There were also scorpions that escaped from the net. The soldiers hurriedly raised their torches to burn them, and finally, no one was injured.
After the fire died down, there were no more scorpions climbing up the valley.
A soul-stirring battle had finally begun, but everyone still did not dare to let their guard down.
” Xiao Qi, you did well.”
Su Qing praised Xiao Qi. Without Xiao Qi’s intelligence, these thousands of scorpions were really hard to deal with.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, another voice came from the bottom of the valley. Gugu, gugu…
This voice? It sounded like a toad.
Everyone was on full alert and retreated!
It should be a toad. This thing is poisonous.”
Zhou Bo reminded Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu that the poisonous creatures that could survive in Five Poison Valley had been through hundreds of battles. They had to swallow countless poisonous creatures to survive. They were extremely poisonous.
“Toads are afraid of salt!”
Su Qing said to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi immediately understood what her master meant and ran back to the system to get the salt.
The kitchen supplies that Su Qing had snatched from Jiren Hall were still in the system. There were also a lot of things that she had bought on the way there. Now, they came in handy.
Zhou Bo looked curiously at the spot where Xiao Qi disappeared. Was Su Qing a spirit beast? Why did it always disappear into thin air?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Xiao Qi come out with an oil paper bag.
Zhou Bo’s eyes widened. Where did she get this?
Thinking about the jug of wine just now, Su Qing had also appeared out of thin air. Could it be that this little fellow had also taken it out?
Just as Zhou Bo was studying Xiao Qi, a huge toad jumped up from the bottom of the valley.
The toad jumped up and spat out a mouthful of venom in the direction of Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu. It was very fast, and no one had the chance to dodge. After spitting out the venom, it jumped up and attacked Su Qing. No one looked for her at all..
