Han Yunxi followed behind the white-robed man. Along the way, her detox system detected quite a few poisons, but the white-robed man avoided them in advance, turning here and there as he opened countless hidden doors.
She was certain that this white-robed man knew the way.
Who the hell is this guy? Was he someone from the medical academy? Or was he a remnant of the Poison Sect? There were rumors that there were still remnants of the Poison Sect in Medical City.
What was his motive for bringing her down to the Sky Pit?
Han Yunxi's side was going smoothly, but Gu's side wasn't going so well at all since he had the map.
They had been careless because they thought they had the map. If not for Gu's superb poison skills and Mu Ling 'er's many drugs that could subdue the poisonous insects, they would have lost their lives long ago.
They had just escaped from the densely packed cave of king cobras. Gu's right arm had been bitten to the point that it was covered in cuts and bruises. His originally bright red robes were soaked in blood, looking gory and terrifying.
Mu Ling 'er wasn't much better off. Her back had been bitten several times, and her entire back was soaked in blood. It was impossible to tell the original color of her robes.
Her martial arts were too weak, so she couldn't protect herself. Even if Gu did his best to protect her, he was powerless against such a terrifying poison trap.
After all, the hundreds of poison traps here had been set up by the Poison Sect. All the poisons in the world originated from the Poison Sect, so it was obvious how dangerous they were.
The snake cave had been densely packed with king cobras. There were so many of them that even Gu and Mu Ling 'er didn't have enough time to deal with them all, even with their drugs.
There wasn't even a place to stand or a handrail in the snake cave. Not only did they have to avoid the king cobras' attacks, they also had to find a way out of the snake filled walls. For a moment, Mu Ling 'er had almost given up.
She thought that if she wasn't with Seventh Brother, she would definitely give up.
The only fortunate thing was that the king cobra in the snake cave was a very common species, and Mu Ling'er had enough antidotes to detoxify it.
By now, they'd already taken the antidote. Gu Qishao was as tired as a corpse and had no energy left in him as he lay on the ground. Mu Linger was exhausted as well and wished she could just fall asleep and never wake up.
After some time, Mu Ling 'er finally spoke. "Qi Brother, where did you get the map in your hand? Were you cheated?"
If this map was real, they should have already successfully passed through the cave maze and avoided the hundreds of poison traps. They should have seen the poisonous beast by now!
However, they were trapped in the snake cave for half a day.
Gu suddenly opened his eyes. His long and narrow eyes flashed with hostility. It was as if he had changed into a different person. He did not speak for a long time.
Mu Ling'er panicked and hurriedly crawled over. "Qi Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Gu took out the map and threw it away without even looking at it. There was no doubt that this map was fake.
As for whether the real map had been stolen by someone else in advance, or if the Director himself had made a fake map to lure the enemy, this was not known.
In short, Gu was in a bad mood.
Mu Ling'er looked at the map and frowned. "What should we do now?"
How terrifying would it be to enter the crater without a map?
Gu stood up, completely ignoring the bruises on his back. He helped Mu Ling'er up. "There's not much time left. Let's continue forward."
"There's not much time left?" Mu Ling'er didn't understand.
She didn't know if Gu heard her question, but he didn't answer. Instead, he held Mu Ling'er's hand and continued forward.
"Qi Brother, are you in a hurry?" Mu Ling'er asked again.
Unfortunately, Gu still didn't answer. Mu Ling'er pouted and hesitated, but didn't ask again.
Gu had the map in hand before, so his footsteps were light and light. He was so relaxed that he even whistled. But now, he had put away all his frivolous and unrestrained attitude. As he walked forward, he paid close attention to his surroundings to avoid falling into a second trap.
The Poison Sect's hundred poison traps were indeed formidable, but he still believed in his own abilities.
Just as Gu and Mu Ling'er were about to leave the king cobra cave, they heard footsteps nearby.
Although the footsteps were light, they couldn't escape Gu's ears.
"Someone's here!"
Gu Qishao lowered his voice and narrowed his eyes.
Mu Ling'er grew alarmed and asked hastily, "Why would someone come so early?"
In the past, anyone who wanted to take the poison beast would follow Medical City's people here and make their move after the beast fell unconscious.
What's going on this year?
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Gu and Mu Ling'er quickly hid in a small cave on the side. But soon enough, Gu heard a familiar voice. His narrowed eyes immediately shone with a sinister light.
"Long … Feiye …"
His low voice was filled with self-satisfaction. He never expected Long Fei Ye to come as well. This was great, his chance for revenge had come.
"Duke of Qin?" Mu Ling'er was surprised. Her first thought was whether Han Yunxi had come as well.
Seeing Long Fei Ye and Tang Li drawing closer, Gu lowered his voice even further. "Ling'er, do you have any Heat Powder?"
"What are you planning to do?" Mu Ling'er was alarmed. Heat Powder wasn't anything good. It was the equivalent of a stimulant. No matter if it was a human or an animal, they'd be instantly stimulated and have twice their usual energy. But once the effects wore off, the body would fall into a deep sleep for several days.
"Do you have it?" Gu grew impatient. Mu Ling'er quickly took it out. It was an entire bottle.
But as soon as Gu accepted it, he silently scattered the powder into the cracks by his feet. After all, the king cobra's den was right below this crack.
They'd just stepped on a mechanism in front of them and fallen into the snake den. The cracks around them were left behind by the opening of the snake den.
Heaven knows how ferocious Gu Qishao's usage of the medicine was. As soon as the Heat Powder entered the den, the densely packed vipers all stood up on their feet, gasping for breath as they flicked out their scarlet tongues. They were filled with endless attack power.
Fortunately, it was dark here. Otherwise, even people like Mu Ling'er and Gu who didn't have trypophobia would get goosebumps when they saw the scene below them. It was too terrifying. It was simply a world occupied by snakes!
At this moment, Long Fei Ye had already stopped.
The king cobra's movements were so big that if he couldn't detect it, Long Fei Ye wouldn't be Long Fei Ye.
"There's a mechanism," Tang Li said in a low voice.
"Snake?" Long Fei Ye rubbed the silver wire glove on his right hand, looking cautious.
Along the way, he and Tang Li had encountered more than ten hidden weapons and mechanisms, but they were not injured. This was all thanks to Long Fei Ye's caution and the silver wire glove that Long Fei Ye's biological mother had left behind.
The two of them stopped at the same time, quietly listening to the movement in front of them. At the same time, Gu, who was hiding not far away, sneered sinisterly. He suddenly shouted, "Poison Girl, be careful!"
As soon as he said that, Long Fei Ye flew forward like lightning. Tang Li followed closely behind and shouted angrily, "Han Yunxi, where are you?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Long Feiye reached the top of the den, Gu Qishao suddenly kicked out with his foot and pressed down on Long Feiye's stomach, forcing him to sink deeper into the ground.
Tang Li was about to help, but Long Fei Ye said coldly, "You're looking for Han Yunxi!"
So speaking, he unsheathed the blood-red whip hidden at his waist and lashed it at Gu Qishao. Instantly, it wrapped around Gu Qishao's waist and didn't give him time to struggle. Even though he was sinking, he still pulled Gu Qishao down.
In the darkness, Gu Qishao's smile was bewitching. He didn't struggle, but pressed himself against Long Feiye even harder. Just like that, the two of them bumped into a trap and fell into the king cobra's den.
As soon as they fell, the entire entrance was suddenly occupied by the king cobras. From afar, it looked like a pot of boiling snakes.
Mu Ling 'er, who was stunned at the side, came to her senses and burst into tears. "Qi Brother, those snakes have eaten the heat powder. Our medicine can't subdue them!"
Just now, they used medicine to deal with the king cobras in the snake cave. But now, these snakes had eaten the heat powder. Not only could the medicine not kill them, but it couldn't even make them unconscious. This cave full of poisonous snakes would probably go crazy.
One could imagine how dangerous it was for the people who fell down.
As soon as he saw Mu Ling 'er, Tang Li was stunned at first, then he came to his senses. "Why are you here?"
Mu Ling 'er didn't know who Tang Li was. Tang Li, on the other hand, had been paying attention to Mu Ling' er, the genius pharmacist, for a long time. This time, he was looking forward to seeing her concoct medicine to subdue the poisonous beast.
Mu Ling 'er couldn't care less about Tang Li. She rushed out and jumped into the snake cave.
Tang Li didn't know how dangerous the snake cave was, and he didn't know what the heat powder Mu Ling 'er mentioned was. He couldn't find Han Yunxi around, so he hurriedly chased after her.
In the snake cave, the entangled poisonous snakes had already gone crazy. Like man-eating ants, they swallowed all the people who fell down at lightning speed.
Suddenly, a sword light flashed, brightening the entire dark snake cave. In a corner of the snake cave, a large group of poisonous snakes was split open, and blood splattered everywhere.
Long Fei Ye broke free from this large group of poisonous snakes. Just as he was about to escape, Gu suddenly pressed a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.
"Where's Han Yunxi?" Long Fei Ye asked coldly.
This guy still cared about that woman at a time like this?
A complicated look flashed past Gu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a ruthless Ice. He said coldly, "Right here!"
Long Fei Ye, this young master doesn't care about integrity anymore. It's time for us to settle old scores!
Kill without mercy, this young master knows how to do it too!
Long Fei Ye, who was always suspicious, didn't doubt Gu's words. He suddenly shook. Not only did he shake off the poisonous snakes that pounced on him, he also shook off Gu at the same time.
"Han Yunxi, where are you?" His voice was terrifyingly cold, but it revealed a rare anxiety.
Gu was shaken far away. The poisonous snakes quickly pounced on him, but he ignored them. Instead, he grabbed a large group of poisonous snakes and threw them at Long Fei Ye …
