Chapter 199 - 172: Thousand-Year Tomb 1 - Thousand Corpse Worms_4
After the Soul-Returning Grass grows, it will emit an odor that attracts exotic creatures, undetectable to humans but perceptible to these beings. The last time she saw the Soul-Returning Grass, it was surrounded by a large group of poisonous spiders. And now, these few strands of Soul-Returning Grass seem to have attracted Fire Green Snakes, even more formidable than the poisonous spiders.
Mo Yunchen also sensed something was off and looked towards the Fence Edge Grass, beneath which several green poisonous snakes were circling the Soul-Returning Grass, seemingly unaware of the two people’s presence.
"These are Fire Green Snakes, the most poisonous of snakes. One bite and you can forget about surviving, so we can’t act rashly," Qin Qin whispered, "If we don’t touch the Soul-Returning Grass, these snakes should not attack us."
The problem was that she had to obtain the Soul-Returning Grass but couldn’t think of a way to drive the Fire Green Snakes away for the moment.
With these Fire Green Snakes here, there were likely more in the vicinity, so she had to be cautious and think of a strategy.
"Master Mo, so this herb can cure your poison?!" Tianshi and a group of Shi Organization assassins entered from the cave mouth. They had been lying in ambush for a little while and had heard Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen’s conversation. They hadn’t expected the two to come here in search of the antidote for the poison afflicting Mo Yunchen, and the several inconspicuous herbs that could actually cure Mo Yunchen’s poison—how could they allow him to be cured?
"Master Mo, why don’t you just peacefully step aside?" Dark Dragon and a group of Shi Organization assassins raised their guns at Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen.
Qin Qin grabbed Mo Yunchen, giving him a meaningful look. She was worrying about not having a plan when someone delivered it right to her—it was as if Providence was watching over her. In this life, she found her luck to be truly exceptional; perhaps Heaven saw how pitiable her past life was and decided to give her extra care.
The two of them tacitly retreated. Dark Dragon and Tianshi gave a cold smile, feeling that Master Mo seemed less bold today—though that made things easier for them, sparing them much effort.
Dark Dragon and Tianshi commanded an assassin, "Go, uproot those strands of herbs. We want to see how Master Mo can continue to live without this thing."
Fortunately, when Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen had spoken about exotic creatures earlier, their voices were low, so the group did not hear them.
