Even if Baili Yuanlong risked his life to hold on, he couldn't afford to pass out at this critical juncture!
"Deputy General Zhao, hurry! Pour these two large vats of water down. Each person should drink a mouthful to prevent the snake's venom! Everyone, be on guard and search for the poisonous snake! "
After Baili Yuanlong gave the order, he immediately rushed to the West Camp. By the time he arrived, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had already arrived.
The ground was littered with corpses. More than two hundred people, as well as several hundred bitten victims, had already taken the antidote. Fortunately, Han Yunxi's detoxification system had concocted a pile of antidotes at the last minute. Otherwise, no one present would have survived if they had to find the antidote at the last minute.
Han Yunxi was still dressed in her Shadow Guard attire. She was crouching on the side, administering acupuncture to detoxify several high-ranking officers. Xu Donglin and a few Shadow Guards stood around her, not allowing anyone to approach or disturb her.
Baili Yuanlong didn't see His Highness. As soon as he saw Han Yunxi, he excitedly rushed over. "Han …"
He almost spilled the beans, but hurriedly corrected himself. "Feiyun, the situation …"
Before he could finish, Xu Donglin sternly interrupted him. "His Highness has ordered that anyone who disturbs Feiyun will be killed without mercy!"
"This general wants to ask …"
"General Baili, Feiyun is saving the soldiers. Every moment is precious. Wasting a single word with you will cost a life. Can you bear the consequences?"
Xu Donglin didn't forget to remind him, "General Baili, you'll have to take responsibility for the lives of all the people in this place! Save your energy! "
Baili Yuanlong's heart skipped a beat, but he remained silent.
He looked at Han Yunxi and saw that her expression was grave and solemn. Her movements were crisp and nimble. She didn't panic because of the urgency of the situation, nor did she cut back on her treatment because of the lives at stake.
She was calm, calm, and decisive. She didn't waste any time. Even the strands of hair that had fallen down were tied up by Granny Zhao. She spent every moment on saving people.
Baili Yuanlong had originally wanted to set aside the rift in his heart and sincerely ask Han Yunxi for advice on how to salvage the situation and find those snakes. He was extremely dissatisfied when Xu Donglin stopped him, but after watching for a while, he saw that the faces of the guards saved by Han Yunxi had regained their color. He was wholeheartedly convinced.
Of course, he did not stand there for too long. He asked the person beside him, "Where is His Highness?"
"His Highness brought people to catch the snakes. The Princess gave His Highness some medicine that can lure the snakes out." Xu Donglin answered truthfully.
Baili Yuanlong was about to leave when he added, "Guard the place well. Don't let anyone disturb him!"
Xu Donglin didn't know whether to be angry or amused, so he ignored him.
Just like that, Long Fei Ye led people to find the hidden poisonous snakes, Han Yunxi rescued the injured, and Baili Yuanlong and several deputy generals distributed the antidote to all the soldiers in the camp. The chaotic scene quickly became orderly.
The White-Lipped Krait's venom flared up too quickly. No matter how fast Han Yunxi moved, the number of people she could save was ultimately limited. Fortunately, the poison was discovered quickly in West Camp. Some soldiers took the antidote in time and saved their lives without Han Yunxi's needles.
After Han Yunxi finished her rescue work, she didn't even take a sip of water. She immediately went to Long Fei Ye. After understanding the situation with Long Fei Ye, she split up with him.
It was much easier for Han Yunxi to find the poisonous snakes than it was for Long Fei Ye. She didn't need to use special medicine to lure them out. She only needed to activate the detoxification system to find the location of the snakes.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that all the work was basically done.
"Your Highness, there are three hundred and seventy-five dead, one hundred and thirty wounded, and one hundred and seventy-one who recovered by taking medicine. Feiyun managed to save twenty-nine people. We've already notified the families of the deceased and arranged for them to be comforted. The injured have all been arranged to recuperate in East Camp. All officers and soldiers in the camp have taken the antidote as a precaution. "
With that, Baili Yuanlong fell to his knees. "This general has disobeyed military orders and caused a great disaster. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Long Fei Ye sat on the tiger-skin chair and leaned forward. His fingers were interlocked and pressed against his lips as he stared at Baili Yuanlong with deep, cold eyes.
He didn't say anything for a long while.
Han Yunxi sat to the side, holding a dead White-Lipped Krait in her hand. She seemed to be studying something and didn't pay any attention to Baili Yuanlong.
Seeing that His Highness didn't say anything, Baili Yuanlong glanced at Han Yunxi, his eyes gloomy.
"Do you regret it?" Long Feiye suddenly asked coldly.
Baili Yuanlong was alarmed. He felt that His Highness's black eyes could see through him with a single glance.
He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't answer.
There were only the three of them in the large tent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
The quieter it was, the more nervous Baili Yuanlong became. He wanted nothing more than for His Highness to give him a few slaps and kicks, but he couldn't withstand His Highness's silence and scrutiny.
Long Fei Ye only asked one question. Baili Yuanlong didn't answer, so he didn't ask again. He silently waved his hand, indicating for Baili Yuanlong to withdraw.
"Your Highness …"
Baili Yuanlong had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he remained silent.
He didn't leave and just knelt there, waiting.
Long Fei Ye slowly narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists. Baili Yuanlong could feel his anger and lowered his head to wait for the storm.
Han Yunxi seemed to have sensed something and looked up. It was at this time that Xu Donglin suddenly ran in. "Your Highness, Princess, those snakes … those snakes have gone crazy! Quickly go take a look. "
Last night, in addition to the six hundred or so snakes that had been killed on the spot, there were still three hundred that were imprisoned alive. The reason they hadn't been killed was because Han Yunxi wanted to use them as bait to find the snake den.
The white-lipped krait was very similar to ants in their social habits. Not only did they live in groups, but they also had a snake queen in charge of giving birth.
Unlike the ant queen, the snake queen not only had a terrifying venom, but also a very powerful attack.
The camp was still here and hadn't been attacked by the snakes. There had to be a reason for the sudden attack last night. Either someone had malicious intentions, or the snake den was nearby and had been accidentally provoked.
No matter what the reason was, they had to find the snake queen as soon as possible. Otherwise, after she and Long Fei Ye left, no one in the camp could resist the snake queen's venom.
"It must be the snake queen summoning them! Let's go take a look! "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye ignored Baili Yuanlong and strode out with Han Yunxi, hurrying to West Camp. Baili Yuanlong hesitated for a moment, but still chased after them.
West Camp was empty apart from the corpses.
The dead snakes were piled up in a pile, while the living ones were tied up in metal cages. They were crazily climbing and gnawing at the metal cages, spitting out poisonous gas from time to time.
Han Yunxi hadn't even gotten close when she sensed that something was wrong. She stopped Long Fei Ye and the others. "Don't get too close, there's poison!"
She stopped Long Fei Ye and the others, but got very close herself.
Long Fei Ye was quite dissatisfied. In front of Baili Yuanlong and several Shadow Guard, he tugged at Han Yunxi's clothes from behind. He didn't say anything, but everyone knew that he didn't want Han Yunxi to go any closer.
Han Yunxi turned back and smiled, whispering, "It's fine, I'll take care of all the poisons that attack me."
After cultivating to the second level of the poison storage space, she was basically immune to all poisons. She wasn't afraid of any poison!
Han Yunxi got close to the metal cage and closed her eyes, as if she was smelling the poisonous gas in the air.
Long Fei Ye and the others watched from behind. Even Long Fei Ye didn't dare to disturb her, let alone the others.
After a while, Han Yunxi opened her eyes and suddenly got close to the metal cage. At that moment, a white-lipped krait suddenly came over and opened its mouth.
"Careful!"
Long Fei Ye pulled Han Yunxi back and scolded, "You're crazy!"
"I'm fine! Really! The metal cage can't stop it from biting me, "Han Yunxi said helplessly.
She hated being disturbed when she was working. Unfortunately, the one disturbing her was Long Fei Ye, so she could only endure her temper.
"What are you doing?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"There are two kinds of poisons in the air. One is the poison released by the snake queen and the other is the poison released by these poisonous snakes. The two poisons have different characteristics, but they can find each other in the air and combine to create a new poison that can spread to a radius of a hundred li."
Han Yunxi said as she gently pushed Long Fei Ye's hand away and moved closer to the metal cage, "The snake queen's poison is very strong. Before the snake's poison can spread, the snake queen's poison has already found them. There's already a new poison in the metal cage and it's starting to spread ….."
"Then won't everyone be poisoned?" Baili Yuanlong anxiously asked. The East Qin army wasn't just stationed here. There were several scattered camps scattered over a radius of a hundred li. Moreover, after the ceasefire, there were more and more civilians returning to their homes.
If the poison spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Baili Yuanlong regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. It would be strange if Han Yunxi didn't take the opportunity to ridicule him!
Who would have thought that Han Yunxi wouldn't waste words and said Coldly, "They won't. This poison is their communication signal and is equivalent to human language. It won't hurt anyone. General Baili, don't worry. "
Baili Yuanlong was a bit embarrassed. He nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Based on the poison, this snake queen must be over a hundred years old. It won't be easy to deal with," Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Princess, the giant python you and His Highness killed was said to be over a thousand years old. How could a mere hundred years old snake queen not be easy to deal with?" Baili Mingxiang couldn't help but ask.
"It's easy to deal with, but the group of snakes guarding it isn't." Han Yunxi sighed.
"You mean ….. there are still poisonous snakes in the snake cave?" Long Fei Ye was shocked.
"Yes!" Han Yunxi nodded. "A snake cave with a hundred years old snake queen must have more than a thousand poisonous snakes. I'm afraid it's as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Once the poison spreads and the snake queen senses it, they'll probably swarm out in full force. This is the white-lipped krait, which is very difficult to deal with! "
Only then did everyone understand what was going on.
"Princess, then can we control the poison and prevent it from spreading?" Xu Donglin asked anxiously.
"It'll be fine if we just kill these poisonous snakes! But if we do that, we won't be able to find out where the snake cave is, nor will we be able to find out why these snakes are attacking the camp. There will be no end to the trouble! "Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Baili Yuanlong, go arrange for people to assist at any time," Long Fei Ye immediately ordered. However, Han Yunxi stopped him. "No need, I can go alone."
She turned to look at Long Fei Ye. "You don't have to go either."
