Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657: Are You Sure? Killed?
She hadn’t even dealt with her own injuries, yet she was kind enough to apply medicine to Gu Qingyu, which was just stupidly excessive. She definitely wouldn’t be so kind-hearted in the future.
“You… Xuanyuan Zimo! Hiss!”
Gu Qingyu wanted to hit someone, but the moment she raised her hand, she tugged at her wound, causing her to grimace in pain.
“You just wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you when we get back!”
“Gu Qingyu!”
Brother Zheen was not far away and, hearing Gu Qingyu’s words, he sharply reminded her.
Turning her head toward Brother Zheen, Gu Qingyu huffed dismissively, her face clearly showing defiance, a typical sign of someone asking for a beating.
She simply couldn’t stand that slutty woman who hadn’t been injured at all, who hadn’t lifted a finger, and yet Qian Jiyun doted on her, hand-feeding her treats.
“Huff!”
She took a deep breath, deciding to treat her wounds first and then cozy up with the guards to make them despise An Jiuyue even more.
…
Not far from Jade Cloud Mountain and using a large tree as cover, Zhan Beiye and Su Tang were both looking up at the mist-shrouded mountain peak, where numerous poisonous snakes could be seen slithering in and out of their dens.
“Just like this, how are we going to get up there?”
Zhan Beiye whispered, not sure if he was asking Su Tang or himself.
“Kill them all?”
It took Su Tang a while to choke out these three words.
Apart from killing all the snakes, what else could they do—surely they couldn’t negotiate with the poisonous snakes and ask them to make way, could they?
But upon hearing his suggestion, Zhan Beiye turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at him.
“Are you sure? Kill them?”
“Uh.”
Su Tang was somewhat choked by his own idea.
If the poisonous snakes on the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain could all be killed, then what need would they have for them? Surely someone would have done it already, right? After all, it was said that Jade Cloud Mountain Peak held more than one treasure, along with many grades of crystals.
“What about using poison? The Princess Consort of the Second Rank has many poisons, we could use…”
“Those are poisonous snakes!”
Zhan Beiye interrupted him sternly before he could finish.
The snakes were poisonous, so using poison could indeed be lethal to them, but it was not guaranteed that it would kill all of them.
Moreover, how many poisonous snakes were there, could they even count them all?
If they were to use poison, how much would they need, could they even calculate that amount? Or were they supposed to poison the snakes layer by layer? Was this a joke?
“Then how about fire?”
Touching his forehead, Su Tang wiped away a bead of cold sweat and proposed another idea.
“Are you sure that bare patch can be set on fire? What kind of fire is so capable, that it can burn that high without needing firewood or oil?” Zhan Beiye asked him.
Su Tang: “…”
Why was every method getting shot down?
But then, if these methods could vanquish the poisonous snakes on Jade Cloud Mountain, it wouldn’t be the most famed Jade Cloud Mountain in the Feather Abyss Plane.
“Huff!”
He exhaled deeply, feeling out of options.
“If only we had a flying magical beast, that would be great.”
“Flying magical beasts can’t get close to the mountain peak either; poisonous snakes target by scent. As soon as they detect the breath of humans or magical beasts, they immediately attack,” Zhan Beiye said.
And even the slightest movement could cause the snakes to surge forth.
“What do you think, if we fed all those snakes until they’re full, would it work?” he asked.
