Chapter 870: The Treasures of Kunwu Realm
"I don’t have mana after all and wouldn’t dare to take such a risk. If it weren’t for saving you, and had no other choice, I wouldn’t have put on that act. Do you know how nervous I was facing that Spider Queen just now? And now you’re blaming me. If she had seen through us, we’d both be dead."
Indeed, Lin An had risked it all. Under those circumstances, if they were discovered by the Spider Queen, neither of them would have survived.
"With your acting skills, if you went to the entertainment industry, winning Best Actress would be a breeze. It looks like things will be simpler from now on. Just do the same thing and go directly to the Snake Tribe to ask for Snake Spirit Herb. They wouldn’t dare refuse."
Had Su Chengyu not known Lin An’s background, he too would have been frightened. She had played her stratagem to perfection, with not a hint of mana, yet she had boldly snatched the Spider Queen’s lifeline silk.
Lin An rolled her eyes and said, "The Snake people are cunning and tricky, not so easy to deceive. Besides, I’ve never been to the Snake Spirit Desert, so this trick won’t work."
"Looks like it’s up to me to take the risk then. I suppose the Snake Tribe is even harder to deal with than the masked spiders?" asked Su Chengyu.
Lin An nodded and said, "The Snake Tribe is far more formidable than the Ghost-faced Spiders. Their leader is the Snake Queen, named Queen Capia. She’s probably a Ninth-Grade Demon King, though who knows if she has already broken through to the Demon Emperor Stage. Besides Queen Capia, the tribe also has ten Great Elders, all of them at the Demon King Realm."
"So I’m essentially going on a suicide mission?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu felt dreadful. Facing such a formidable Snake Tribe was akin to seizing food from a tiger’s mouth.
