The stable carriage sped along without any bumps. If it wasn't for the sound of the wind, Han Yunxi wouldn't have known the carriage was moving so fast.
Only she and Long Fei Ye were inside the carriage. Long Fei Ye had only spared her a glance since she got on, before closing his eyes again without a word.
Han Yunxi was naturally bold. Even in front of the emperor, she dared to argue. But for some reason, she always felt timid before this man's iciness.
She wanted to ask him about Snake Gorge, but seeing him close his eyes, she didn't. Unconsciously, she began to size him up timidly.
His features looked like they'd been carved by the Heavens themselves. Narrow eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, they were all perfect and flawless.
Han Yunxi never thought that such a cold man existed in this world. Even when he was quiet, his entire body emanated a coldness that kept people at arm's length, forcing them to stay at a respectful distance.
Was he like this since he was young? He was so cold to Grand Concubine Yi, but what about the late emperor?
In this world, was there anyone who had ever seen his warm side, who had ever seen him smile from the bottom of his heart?
Thinking up to here, she couldn't help but wonder if a woman would appear to receive his lifetime's promise and love?
But soon enough, Han Yunxi smiled. She really was overthinking things. Would such a cold and emotionless man have feelings?
Dismissing these distracting thoughts, Han Yunxi averted her gaze and leaned lazily to one side. She'd better figure out what kind of place Snake Gorge was.
Why did she feel like this guy had brought her out with the scent of a conspiracy?
At this moment, Long Fei Ye slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Han Yunxi. It was only a faint glance before he closed them again.
The carriage traveled through the night until the next morning. As soon as Han Yunxi opened her eyes, she met Long Fei Ye's icy gaze.
"Ah!"
She jumped in fright and quickly sat up.
"You're awake?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"What are you doing?" Han Yunxi was so fierce. Why was this guy so close?
Long Fei Ye pushed her away, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. "I wanted to wake you up."
Uh …
All right, Han Yunxi calmed down. "Have we arrived? What kind of place was Snake Valley? Were there a lot of poisonous snakes? Is that why you brought me along? "
Han Yunxi thought about it over and over again last night. Other than this reason, this guy had no reason to bring her out.
"There's only one venomous snake, and its snake core is what Gu Qi Sha wants the most. If we exchange the snake core for a Life Blood Pill, he'll definitely give it to us," Long Fei Ye explained.
So it turned out … Alright, this guy was indeed omnipotent. He could even find out about this.
With this information, it would not be difficult to obtain the Life Blood Pill. Of course, the crux of this matter was her.
Han Yunxi's self-confidence grew a bit. She wasn't afraid of venomous snakes and whatnot.
"Let's go. Take me to see what kind of poisonous snake it is."
Han Yunxi was brimming with confidence as she jumped off the carriage. Just as she was about to walk forward, Long Fei Ye's words caused her to stop abruptly. "It's a poisonous python."
"What?"
Han Yunxi abruptly turned her head, her brows furrowed.
"It's a poisonous python." Long Fei Ye patiently repeated. If it was an ordinary poisonous snake, he would not have brought her along. Bringing a woman along on a journey would cause all kinds of trouble.
"Poisonous python …"
Han Yunxi muttered to herself. This time, she was completely shocked.
One had to know that pythons were not poisonous!
Poisonous snakes had front and back teeth that could secrete nerve venom. They could inject the venom into their prey's body, causing their prey to die before swallowing it. However, pythons did not have the ability to attack with venom. Their attack was to use force to bind their prey and strangle it to death before swallowing it.
But the pythons here were actually poisonous, and they were even giant pythons?
Han Yunxi was at a loss. She searched through the detoxification system, but there were no relevant records at all. Without a doubt, this poisonous python was a completely new species to her.
Seeing her pale face, Long Fei Ye asked, "Is there a problem?"
"How big is this snake?" Han Yunxi asked.
"It's about three zhang long. Moreover, it's agile and can spit out poisonous gas." Long Fei Ye answered truthfully.
According to his understanding, there were many people who had designs on this poisonous python, but until now, no one had been able to capture it. The number of people who died in the Snake Valley was not small.
Three zhang, that was ten meters. It was also agile and could spit out poisonous gas … Wasn't it a demon?
Hearing this, Han Yunxi's face became even more unsightly. She made a prompt decision, "I can't handle this. I can't cure the poison of the poisonous python. You have to think of other ways."
She was unarmed. If she could not cure the poison, once she got close to the poisonous python, she would either be poisoned to death or strangled to death.
"Why?" Long Fei Ye did not understand.
"There are thousands of kinds of poisons in the world, and I'm not omnipotent." Han Yunxi generously admitted.
Long Fei Ye had not personally come here. He originally thought that bringing Han Yunxi, this poisonous woman, would make things easier. Now, he hesitated.
Who knew that at this time, the horse beside him suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed in fright.
"Not good!" Long Fei Ye coldly said. Before his voice fell, he saw a huge snake head suddenly fly out from the forest on the right side, spitting out poisonous gas.
In the blink of an eye, Long Feiye grabbed Han Yunxi and retreated in the direction of the valley. But very soon, a giant snake's tail lashed out at them like a whip.
Long Fei Ye had no choice but to retreat into the valley. Very quickly, the giant python's entire body was exposed. It was like a huge sword, chasing after them at high speed.
Long Fei Ye was vigilant of the surrounding movements as he sped forward to escape.
Han Yunxi was held tightly in his arms as she gaped at the sight. When Long Feiye told her about it, she didn't have such a direct impression, but now that she saw it for herself, she was given a fright.
This snake was so terrifying!
There were several times when the poisonous gas almost hit her body, but her detoxification system did not prompt her. Once again, this proved that this poison was unfamiliar.
If Han Yunxi had enough time to collect samples, she could still research the antidote. Unfortunately, her life was at stake now!
The deeper they went into the valley, the denser the trees became. As a result, their risk factor was even higher.
Long Fei Ye kept moving forward at a terrifying speed. Han Yunxi thought that since he entered the valley, this guy should be trying to escape from the other exit as soon as possible.
But!
Suddenly, Long Fei Ye changed direction. Carrying Han Yunxi, he fled into the dense forest on the right.
"You don't plan on leaving the valley?" Han Yunxi was shocked.
"This prince is here for the snake pill!" Long Fei Ye said.
Compared to this poisonous giant python, Medicine Ghost Valley's Gu Qi Sha was more difficult to deal with. He did not have the leisure to ask for medicine. Since he had entered Snake Valley, he definitely would not return empty-handed.
The poisonous giant python seemed to be surprised by Long Fei Ye's actions. It stopped for a moment, but then disappeared into the dense forest.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi did not have time to persuade Long Fei Ye. She shouted, "That thing disappeared!"
Long Feiye made a prompt decision to fly upwards. At the same time, the poison python pounced on empty air. What a close shave!
This was a competition of speed! Soon, the poisonous giant python disappeared again.
Long Fei Ye landed on the tallest tree. With one hand around Han Yunxi's waist and the other on the tree trunk, he looked down at the entire valley.
Although Han Yunxi was afraid, this was the first time she was looking down at the world from such a high place. She felt a surge of emotions and was extremely excited.
Although nothing good came out of going out with this guy, it was always exciting.
She knew that it was impossible for him to escape. If he wanted to escape, he would have done so long ago. Since they were already here, they might as well throw caution to the wind and fight with the poisonous giant python. Who knows, they might really be able to get the snake pill.
"Look, over there!"
Han Yunxi's eyes were sharp. She quickly saw the movement in the forest. Because of the poisonous giant python's existence, the animals in Snake Valley had either died or escaped. Such a large movement could only be caused by the poisonous giant python.
Long Fei Ye looked over and brought Han Yunxi to the bottom right branch of a tree.
"Stand properly." He said Coldly.
Han Yunxi immediately hugged the tree trunk tightly. She had to admit that once he let go, her sense of security disappeared.
Long Fei Ye did not hold onto the tree trunk. He stood firmly in the middle of the tree branch. His body was tall and straight like a pine tree. He held the crossbow with both hands and aimed his cold gaze at the constantly moving undulations.
Han Yunxi looked at him from the side. She only felt that this man was extremely cool. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like a top notch dark assassin.
Suddenly, the movement in the thicket came to an abrupt stop. The poisonous python stopped.
Long Fei Ye slowly narrowed his eyes. The constantly moving crossbow also stopped in one direction. The arrow was nocked on the string and could be released at any time.
Han Yunxi nervously held her breath. But who knew that just when she thought that Long Fei Ye would release the arrow, he suddenly turned around and aimed at a direction behind him. He quickly released the arrow. "Xiu!" What a sharp sound.
She only saw that the arrow was like a bolt of lightning. Its momentum was powerful and its speed was astonishing.
Even though the arrow had already flown out, Han Yunxi could still feel the powerful force on the arrow.
She did not expect that this guy would actually pour his internal energy into the arrow. But, why did he change direction?
While Han Yunxi was still trying to figure it out, Long Feiye had already shot out countless arrows, each of them as swift as a meteor shower. Like a bolt of lightning, they contained boundless power.
When the huge snake tail swung out from the thicket, Han Yunxi finally understood. Long Fei Ye had just given up on the snake tail and shot the snake head. If she guessed correctly, the poisonous giant python's head was already seriously injured, which restricted its movements.
With a head injury, it would be difficult for it to escape with its huge body and snake tail.
This shooting might seem simple but if it was someone else, they might not be able to escape from the poisonous giant python's pursuit. Secondly, even if they were able to stand high up and shoot arrows, they might not be able to hit every single one of them and seriously injure the poisonous giant python.
Han Yunxi knew that every arrow that Long Fei Ye shot contained a huge amount of power. Otherwise, a small crossbow arrow compared to the giant python's body was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
Long Fei Ye had already stopped but the veins on the back of his hands had not disappeared.
The huge snake tail swung crazily in the air and very quickly, the surrounding trees were all razed to the ground. Han Yunxi estimated that the snake tail would not affect the tree they were on. She was relieved and looked towards the snake head with Long Fei Ye.
As long as the snake head was dead, no matter how big the movement of the snake tail was, it would just be struggling at death's door.
They waited. Long Fei Ye took out his crossbow again. However, at this moment, there was a huge movement in the direction of the snake head. It seemed that the snake head was making its final struggle. But not long later, the movement gradually disappeared.
"He's finally dead?" Han Yunxi asked timidly.
Long Fei Ye did not reply. His eyes were filled with caution as he continued to wait. Who knew that at this moment, a white figure suddenly leapt down from the tree not too far away and charged towards the poisonous giant python's head.
Han Yunxi saw it clearly. It was a white robed lady!
What guts, to actually dare to reap the benefits in front of Long Fei Ye!
