"This, this is simply a godly skill!"
Meng Hun poked at the corpses in disbelief. Every snake was limp. He sent a few brave soldiers to cut open the bodies of the snakes. They were shocked to find that the internal organs and bones of the snakes, which looked fine on the outside, had been violently crushed into pieces. Their brains had even turned into mush.
Meng Hun felt that it was a pity when he cut open a few snakes in a row.
"I was hoping to stew a pot of snake soup to calm my nerves …"
He never expected the corpses of the snakes to turn into such a ghastly state. The poison glands behind their eyes had been crushed. The snake meat was inedible.
He felt that it was a pity, but his eyes were filled with fanatical admiration for his lord!
She had killed millions of snakes with her own strength!
She had accomplished such a magnificent feat with ease. Meng Hun would be the first to refuse to accept that his lord was not a wise ruler!
When the troops dealt with the corpses of the snakes, not only did they have to burn the corpses outside the camp, but they also had to deal with the corpses that had crawled into the camp.
The weather was still cool, but it would warm up after a while. If they did not burn the corpses quickly and allowed them to rot and grow maggots, they did not know what kind of plague or illness they would bring to the troops. Because of Jiang Pengji's influence and regulations, the troops from top to bottom had reached a consensus — the dirty and rotten corpses carried the smell of plague and illness. If they were not dealt with properly, the illness would spread to the people.
The group of snakes was too lethal. Even the Gaoyue people who controlled thousands of snakes did not dare to follow them.
Therefore, when the snake riders of the Gaoyue people saw the fire rising in Jiang Pengji's camp from afar, they all smiled in relief.
In the eyes of the snake riders, Jiang Pengji's choice of using fire to defend against the snakes was simply courting death. If the fire was too small, it would not be a deterrent to the snakes. If the fire was too big, it would endanger the snake riders. Most of the snakes were poisonous, and their toxicity varied. Some of the poisons could take a person's life in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, while others would cause a person to die slowly in pain. It was almost an unsolvable situation!
The snake riders were arrogant and confident. Only Wei Ci knew that they had the capital to do so. In his previous life, Huang Song had fought against the Gaoyue people. He had been surrounded by danger many times. The snakes had besieged him, causing him to suffer heavy losses. The snakes, insects, rats, and ants had polluted the water source of the army, which made things worse.
However, when the arrogant and confident Gaoyue people met Jiang Pengji …
This was not kicking an iron plate, but a titanium alloy plate!
The soldiers outside the tent were busy dealing with the snake's corpse. The people inside the tent had different thoughts. They looked at Jiang Pengji with fresh eyes, as if they were meeting her for the first time. Jiang Pengji didn't speak, and the crowd didn't know what to say, until a short, shrill sound from a flute broke the balance!
Jiang Pengji glared daggers at Feng Zhen.
The other party put down a bamboo flute in embarrassment.
"What are you doing?"
Music was supposed to be an intoxicating experience, but Feng Zhen's flute music was so awful that it rendered people speechless.
Faced with the accusation, Feng Zhen said, "Just now, I saw that you used sound to control the beast. I really thought that the song you played was the key, so I gave it a try."
Feng Zhen was not as accomplished as Wei Ci, Feng Jin, and the others in terms of elegant instruments, but to him, the flute was a piece of cake.
When he heard Jiang Pengji kill the snakes with her flute, her posture of "acting like the wind" made his heart itch.
He had a good memory. He had memorized Jiang Pengji's entire song.
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Was her flute music that awful?
"Stop playing. The flute music is only an aid. There's more to it than meets the eye." Jiang Pengji mercilessly dispelled Feng Zhen's thoughts. "If controlling animals only depended on a song, the Meng's would have found a way to dig out their secrets and kick them away. How could the Gaoyue people be so arrogant?"
Feng Zhen thought about it and felt that it made sense. He could only put down the bamboo flute helplessly.
"When did you learn such a divine technique, my lord? If I had leaked the news earlier, I wouldn't have been so scared that I broke out in a sweat and almost lost my composure. "
Although his mental fortitude was strong enough, he could only watch helplessly as tens of thousands of densely packed snakes swarmed toward him. Feng Zhen's legs almost gave way. If he had known that his lord had the ability to control beasts, Feng Zhen wouldn't have had to endure such psychological torture …
Jiang Pengji revealed a cold expression that said, "I don't want to answer."
It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but she didn't know how to answer.
Even if she was willing to explain, others wouldn't understand.
Wei Ci said, "A while ago, I heard my lord chatting. She said that she dreamt of the celestial mountains and seas. She heard the whispers of immortals, as if she was receiving teachings. When she woke up, she didn't remember what happened. She only remembered the ethereal sounds. I thought that maybe my lord learned the art of controlling beasts at that time, and it happened to counter the Gaoyue people's conspiracy. It seems that our army's great victory was destined! "
In ancient times, people believed in the divine right of kings, and the people firmly believed in it.
If Jiang Pengji wore the halo of "destiny" above her head, it would often produce unexpected results.
Wei Ci lied through his teeth, and there was a hint of flattery in his words.
Jiang Pengji was flattered. She looked at Wei Ci with a complicated gaze.
This person didn't care about his reputation in order to help her cover up her lies.
He was quite silly.
Jiang Pengji said, "When I saw the snakes today, I suddenly had the urge to make them surrender and retreat. I accidentally used too much force, but I didn't leave any alive. I don't know where this ability came from. After Zixiao's reminder, it might be because of that dream. "
It wasn't a big deal, so Jiang Pengji changed the topic with a few words.
Wei Ci and the others were easy to fool, but the audience in the streaming room weren't ignorant people from ancient times!
Xuanyuan Mingjing: "Streamer, how can you live with your conscience by fooling a group of loyal cuties like this?"
Buhuihui Shijie: "I'm begging for the ability to control beasts! I don't ask to be as handsome as you, I just want to learn the essence of learning! "
Miao Xiaoyao: "Ah ah ah — I'm very curious, how did the streamer kill those snakes?"
Jiang Pengji hadn't spoken in the streaming room for a long time, but it didn't mean that she didn't pay attention to the bullet screen.
Streamer V: "They committed suicide by biting their tongues!
Biting their tongues to commit suicide?
The audience was almost in a mess. Who would believe such a perfunctory answer? "
Yixiu Shinianxiang: "Streamer, you're bullying us again because we don't study enough …"
No matter how the audience threatened and tempted her, Jiang Pengji remained unmoved.
The corpses of the snakes burned fiercely. The Gaoyue people were worried and sent out scouts to investigate. The news they received made them tremble with fear.
The enemy, who they thought had been swallowed alive by the snakes, was actually unharmed!
"How … how is this possible?"
The Gaoyue people were in a panic. The snake formation that had always been successful was no longer working.
"Don't be afraid. If Liu Xi dares to challenge us tomorrow, we'll send out our army of beasts. Let's see if he can hide from us!"
The Gaoyue people could control hundreds of beasts. Their army of beasts had extraordinary combat power. If not, Meng Zhan wouldn't have tolerated them for so many years.
It wasn't advisable to fight behind enemy lines for too long.
There was still a way to deal with them by sending out the snakes.
If they polluted the drinking water for the army camp, there would be no solution.
The next day, Jiang Pengji sent someone to challenge them.
