Chapter 86 The Ultimate (5)
After dissecting the body of a crested snake with a knife, Wangyou discovered that only the snake's gall bladder was somewhat useful.
As for snake meat, it contains too many parasites and is not suitable for consumption!
Therefore, after collecting the snake gall separately, Wangyou threw away the corpse and then went to the water's edge to clean herself up briefly.
This place, with its beautiful mountains and clear waters, is perfect for a secluded retreat. No wonder the Queen Mother of the West built her tomb here!
After cleaning herself up, Wangyou ate something simple and then picked up a book she had obtained from the system to read. After reading it, Wangyou had a general understanding of what kind of person the Queen Mother of the West was.
In addition, Wangyou also knew why Wu Xie and his group were looking for the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West.
Immortality has been pursued by people since ancient times, but where in this world can true immortality be found?
People like the Xie family have special bloodlines, and unless there are unexpected circumstances, they can only live a little longer at most.
Alternatively, like the black bear, one could use a spirit to reach some kind of agreement and obtain immortality in another sense, but the suffering involved would be unbearable for ordinary people.
And that young man, he has the Qilin bloodline of the Zhang family in Northeast China, which is why he has been able to live so long. However, it seems that he exchanged his longevity for something.
After finishing the book, Wangyou basically guessed the origins of these people and what they were up to.
However, none of this had anything to do with Wangyou. At most, if she happened to run into them on the road, she would just watch the excitement.
As night fell, Wangyou crawled into her tent to sleep. The white powder burning on the fire killed all the poisonous insects in the vicinity, turning the area around the tent into a no-go zone for them.
"There's a tent here, someone came ahead of time!" Wu Xie and the others arrived here and saw a pretty little tent.
"Don't go over there!" The young man keenly sensed something was wrong and stopped Wu Xie. The others also dared not move.
What are you all doing here?!
"What a coincidence, Blackie and Flower Master have arrived too!" Fatty said with a smile as he looked at the two who had suddenly appeared.
"This tent doesn't look like Third Master's style at all!"
"It must be Wangyou; she arrived even earlier than us!" Xiaohua inexplicably thought of the girl she had only met once.
"It's so noisy so early in the morning!" Wangyou stretched and came out of the tent.
Looking at the five, six, seven or eight people standing not far away, Wangyou rubbed her eyes and confirmed that they were acquaintances!
Out of consideration for their acquaintance, Wangyou crawled into the tent, grabbed a bottle, and came out. "I've taken the antidote pills inside. This is all poison!"
The young man grabbed the medicine bottle, frowned, then took out the pills and swallowed them.
Seeing that the young man had eaten them all, the others didn't hesitate and quickly finished off the pills in the bottle.
"You know what, the color of these pills is quite nice!" The fat man examined the color of the pills, hesitant to take a bite.
"Fatty, stop standing there and hurry up and catch up!" Wu Xie shouted.
Once the fat man saw that everyone had gone far away, he no longer had time to doubt, so he swallowed the medicine and followed them.
"Damn, so many dead poisonous insects, and this is a pheasant's neck!" The closer the fat man got to Wangyou's tent, the more dead poisonous insects he saw.
"Little sister, you killed all of these by yourself!"
"He must have been poisoned while he was asleep!"
"The pheasant's neck is poisonous enough, but your poison looks even more potent!"
Would you like some?
"No, I can't handle that!"
Wangyou ignored the others, opened the earthenware jar on the fire, rolled the ointment inside into pills, and put them into a jade bottle.
"What is this?" Xiao Hua asked as she walked over.
"I made this poison from the poisonous insects and plants in this rainforest, so don't touch it!"
"This green stuff looks incredibly poisonous!" Black Bear remarked after taking a look.
"Black Glasses, if you don't become my drug human, I'll help you solve your problem!"
"No, blind man, I still really like my life!" Black Bear said, taking two steps back.
"How did you get here faster than us?" Xiaohua glanced around; the signs were clearly from two days ago.
"You probably only have a rough map, but I have a detailed one. You all look so disheveled, what happened to you?"
"It's a long story, with traps, the Corpse Beetle King, and the Human-Faced Bird!"
"It seems I'll have to follow you guys from now on, otherwise I won't have seen any of them!" Wangyou packed her backpack and decided to go with the group.
After all, it didn't seem as thrilling or exciting for her to walk alone as it did for them.
A thunderous roar resounded.
The delivery guy suddenly said out of the blue, "Time is running out!"
"What do you mean there's not much time left?" Wangyou asked curiously.
"We need to hurry and get to the Queen Mother of the West's Palace!"
"Hurry up, let's go!" Ah Ning shouted.
"Let's go, Forget-Me-Not!"
"Let's go!" Wangyou jumped off the rock. "Here's a sachet for you, to ward off the poisonous insects here!"
"Thank you, it smells wonderful!" Xiaohua took it and smelled it all afternoon before putting it in her pocket.
"Hey, little beauty, I want one too!" Black Bear saw the sachet and immediately recognized it as a good thing, so he came over with a grin.
“You’re not as pretty as Xiaohua, so you have to pay me!” Wangyou said seriously.
"Five pieces, that's the most I can give you!" Black Bear said, trembling as he stretched out a hand.
"Who do you think you are? I'm not giving it to you!" Wangyou slapped Heixiazi's hand away. "I'll give you antidote pills. As long as you don't do anything reckless, no one will die!"
Xiao Hua was inexplicably happy to see that only he had a sachet.
"Thank you!" Black Bear said, realizing he couldn't get the sachet and hearing Wangyou talk about the antidote's effects, he decided to give it up.
He just gave Xiaohua a meaningful look.
Xiao Hua glared at Hei Xiazi, then followed Wang You's footsteps.
"There are so many of those pheasant necks you guys talk about here, how do they grow like that!" Looking at the snakes in the water and on the trees, Wangyou couldn't help but shudder.
This is so scary it triggers trypophobia!
"You two, stop standing there and run!" After running for a while and not seeing anyone, Hei Xiazi turned around and saw Wangyou and Xiaohua still having the mind to appreciate the snake's appearance.
"Black Glasses, you'd better run!" As soon as Xiao Hua saw the snakes coiling around the two of them, she knew it was the effect of the sachet given to her by Wang You.
"Little Flower, wait for me a moment, I'm going to dig up that herb!"
"Do you need any help?"
"No need!" Wangyou quickly dug out some of the herbs around that might be able to detoxify.
"Let's go see how they are!"
When Wangyou and Xiaohua arrived, they saw the young man about to cut his hand. Wangyou quickly flicked a stone, deflecting the young man's movement.
"Although the blood of divine beasts is the nemesis of poisonous insects, you can't just throw it out like that!" Wangyou walked over speechlessly and sprinkled some poison on the ground.
"Forget-Me-Not Sister, do you still have any of those snake-repelling sachets? Sell me a few!" Wu Xie didn't want to see Xiao Ge bleeding money, so he shamelessly asked.
"I don't have any sachets left, but I can make some on the spot!" After all, who carries around a bunch of sachets all the time?
