Jun Yi Xie never expected the snakes to counterattack!
After all, he'd spent a lot of effort to get his hands on these poisonous snakes.
In fact, he didn't need so many snakes to guard against Han Yunxi's group's sneak attacks. Instead, he filled the entire mountain with snakes to give Han Yunxi's group a warning!
He wanted to tell them that he, Jun Yi Xie, wasn't so easy to bully! He wanted to tell them that they'd pay a heavy price if they tried to trick him.
But who knew that he'd end up smashing his own foot with a rock?
He'd stationed countless archers on the shady side of the second layer of the mountain, a total of ten archers. But no matter how many archers there were, they couldn't compare to the number of poisonous snakes! No matter how powerful their arrows were, they couldn't kill off a swarm of snakes.
Any of the snakes in the mountains might be common, but they were also highly poisonous. Once bitten, they'd kill you within a short time.
After all, the archers were the second line of defense, the true defense. They were the key to keeping Chang Fei Ye and the other experts in check!
When Jun Yixie stood up, he couldn't even stand straight and swayed.
If news of this spread, he'd become the biggest joke in the history of Cloud Realm Continent.
"Your Highness Duke of Kang, what's wrong with those poisonous snakes? Is there no way to break through them? If this keeps up, we'll lose our footing! "the guard reminded him urgently.
"Prepare all the defenses at Tiger's Prison! Keep a close eye on Ning Cheng! "Jun Yi Xie said before he rushed out, his figure disappearing into the forest.
Once he was in the woods, he could hear the occasional cries of agony from all around him. Not far away, he could even hear the hissing of a large group of poisonous snakes as they fought to be the first to move forward.
Jun Yi Xie followed the sounds and saw a few of the archers dead from poison. Two of the snakes were crawling over their bodies in search of other prey.
As soon as Jun Yi Xie approached, the poisonous snake smelled his scent and immediately turned around to pounce on him.
Jun Yi Xie was not afraid of them. He stepped on the head of a poisonous snake with one foot and grabbed the tail of a poisonous snake with one hand. When the poisonous snake turned its head to bite him, he fiercely threw it to the ground and killed it.
He picked up the dead snake and carefully examined it. Only then did he realize that the venomous snake had been poisoned. However, he could not determine what kind of poison it was.
Furthermore, he had studied poison for so many years, but he had never heard of any poison that could make a poisonous snake so violent and bloodthirsty.
Jun Yi Xie's big movement immediately attracted more than ten poisonous snakes. Some were thinner than his arm, while others were as big as pythons. The poisonous snakes surrounded him, all of them flicking their red tongues, eager to attack.
In Jun Yi Xie's eyes, they were no different from traitors. The more Jun Yi Xie looked at them, the angrier he became. He suddenly leaped into the air and shot out several poisonous needles, immediately killing all the poisonous snakes.
The giant pythons were still aggressive even after being hit by a few needles. They swept their huge tails at him fiercely.
The poisonous snakes were bloodthirsty and purely saw Jun Yi Xie as prey. Jun Yi Xie had no choice but to kill them.
He flew sideways and dodged the giant snake's attack. He was so angry that his face turned green. Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to kick the giant snake's huge head into smithereens.
After these few snakes died, the surroundings were already surrounded by another group of snakes. Moreover, there were still many more around.
Jun Yi Xie had no choice but to escape. Otherwise, who knew how much time he would waste on killing these poisonous snakes.
Unable to find a way to break through, Jun Yi Xie had no choice but to order all the archers to retreat into the deep ravine. He ordered people to cut down the trees around Tiger's Prison and spread a circle of poison. In this way, the poisonous snakes could only enter Tiger's Prison by crawling over the ground. Once they came into contact with the poison, no matter what kind of poisonous snake they were, they would be poisoned and their flesh would rot and die.
Han Yunxi and the rest stood at the top of the mountain and looked down. Although they couldn't see the specific movements in the forest, they could hear all kinds of wails coming from the forest. They also saw a few large movements in the vegetation.
"Are they retreating?" Tang Li asked suspiciously.
"Yes! Many of them have retreated. They should be all archers. "Long Fei Ye said.
He had set up this kind of ambush in the forest many times before. He had also been ambushed by others a few times. He was all too familiar with this kind of movement.
"Sister-in-law, it's really a good show! Beautifully done! "Tang Li was overjoyed.
"Poison Lass, you're amazing!" Gu gave her a thumbs up with a fawning expression, "What's that poison called? Why don't you give some to Qi Brother?"
Han Yunxi generously gave Gu a bottle, "These poisonous snakes will go crazy for at least three days. We can rest tonight and continue watching the show tomorrow. "
When she said this, Gu Beiyue and Long Fei Ye both laughed.
God knows how many archers Jun Yi Xie had set up an ambush. God knows how much danger they would face if they barged in. They were all prepared for a tough battle. However, Jun Yi Xie just had to give them a chance to rest.
Originally, night was the best time to sneak into Tiger's Prison. But now, they could rest assured and give the best time to the poisonous snakes. Unless Jun Yi Xie had a poison similar to Han Yunxi's, even if he poisoned a large number of poisonous snakes, it wouldn't be something that could be settled in one night.
In one night, the poisonous snakes would be able to kill all the ambushes in the mountain and even attack Tiger's Prison.
Of course, if Jun Yi Xie left Tiger's Prison and took the initiative to look for them, they wouldn't mind treating him to tea first.
The sky gradually darkened. Han Yunxi and the others looked down into the ravine and couldn't see anything. Apart from darkness, there was only darkness.
The mountain forest was quiet to begin with. It was even quieter at night. The hissing of the snakes in the mountain rose and fell one after another. They could tell that the snakes were all heading into the ravine.
Han Yunxi and the others sat in a row on a large rock on the cliff at the top of the mountain. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye sat together. Tang Li sat beside Long Fei Ye and Gu sat beside Han Yunxi.
Gu Beiyue sat behind them. In a sense, Gu Beiyue was the real Shadow Guard. It was the end of March and the beginning of April. There was no moon in the sky. Coincidentally, there was no moonlight, so the stars in the sky were especially bright.
They looked up from the top of the mountain and felt that they were very close to the sky. The stars in the sky were just above their heads. They could reach out and pluck them.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but reach out. She immediately realized that everything was just an illusion. The sky was actually very, very high up.
"Poison Girl, do you want the stars?" Gu asked with a smile.
Han Yunxi didn't answer. She thought that once they went up the mountain, they would have to fight to the end. Who knew that they would have the opportunity to sit on the top of the mountain and look at the stars?
Han Yunxi looked at the stars and slowly leaned back. Long Fei Ye also lay down. His arm was already behind her head, waiting for her.
Han Yunxi wasn't surprised as she rested in Long Fei Ye's arms. It was as if this was already a habit.
She was about to answer Gu's question when Tang Li said, "Of course my sister-in-law wants it. Are you going to pluck it?"
"Haha, you have to ask your brother to pluck it!" It was rare for Gu to be so modest to Long Fei Ye.
He turned to look at Long Fei Ye. "Are you going to pluck it?"
As soon as he said that, a shooting star streaked across the sky. They all sat up in shock.
"Tang Li, quick! Make a wish! "Han Yunxi said anxiously.
Tang Li had no idea what was going on.
"If you make a wish when you see a shooting star, it will definitely come true," Han Yunxi said seriously. She didn't know when she would believe in such things.
Tang Li immediately said loudly, "I hope that Ning Jing and the child are safe and sound!"
You can't make a wish out loud!
Han Yunxi wanted to correct him, but seeing how serious Tang Li was, she gave up.
Han Yunxi didn't notice that Long Fei Ye was sitting at the side and closing his eyes for a while.
Soon, they lay down again, and the topic of plucking the stars was interrupted. Hearing Tang Li's wish, Gu was no longer in the mood to joke. He put his hands behind his head and looked at the bright stars. Gradually, he became distracted.
"Gu, why aren't you worried about Mu Ling 'er?" Tang Li suddenly asked.
Gu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Am I not here to save her now?"
That one sentence made Tang Li speechless. However, without Tang Li's reminder, Gu really forgot about that little girl Mu Ling 'er. He didn't even think about her.
It was fine if he didn't think about her, but after being reminded, he still missed her quite a bit. It seemed like it had been a long time since someone chased after him, searched the world for him, and inquired about his whereabouts.
Gu closed his eyes and recalled Mu Ling 'er's appearance. A face that loved to cry appeared in his mind.
In the whole world, Mu Ling 'er was probably the only one who called him "Qi Brother".
They fell silent. Everyone was immersed in the starry sky and immersed in their own thoughts. Tang Li couldn't even count how many days it had been since he last saw Ning Jing.
The last time they met in Myriad Merchant Hall, they even quarreled.
He wondered what the first thing he should say when he saw Ning Jing. He wondered what Ning Jing's first words would be when she saw him.
Would she scold him?
Or would she ignore him?
Or would she ask him to carry the child?
As he thought about it, a sweet smile appeared on Tang Li's lips. Even if they met, he would gladly endure Ning Jing's beating and scolding.
The mountain breeze caressed them and the stars twinkled. Everyone was a little sleepy.
Gu Beiyue silently guarded behind them. He looked at the moonless night sky and smiled faintly.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The brighter the moon, the more lonely it was. And this sky full of stars was so lively and vast, but there was no place for the moon.
It was only when he looked up at the night sky that Gu Beiyue remembered his real name, Lonemoon.
After some time, Gu Beiyue suddenly said, "Princess, Your Highness, look at the bottom of the mountain!"
Everyone sat up with a start. They saw that Gu Beiyue was no longer behind them. He was standing at the edge of the cliff, looking at the deep ravine.
What happened in the deep ravine?
Han Yunxi and the others hurriedly stood up. They saw that a light had appeared in the originally dark ravine!
"Is that Tiger's Prison?" Tang Li exclaimed.
"They must have cut down all the trees around Tiger's Prison. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see the light!" Gu was also surprised.
Han Yunxi smiled. "Jun Yi Xie is guarding against snakes!"
Long Fei Ye squeezed his wrists and stretched his muscles. Cold, he said, "Get ready to go down the mountain!"
Jun Yi Xie had already returned to Tiger's Prison. Of course, they couldn't give him a chance to breathe.
Now that things had come to this, they naturally had to stand at the entrance of Tiger's Prison!
