Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 203: Showing Sincerity and Detoxification

Whoosh!

The only sound I got in response was the wind.

There was also the rustling sound of poisonous insects moving.

Squeak!

The sounds of insects and mice suddenly filled the forest.

All kinds of small animals and insects became agitated and crazy as if they were in a pot of boiling water.

The restlessness infected us.

We all looked around nervously.

What you see is a one-sided hunting scene.

Centipedes, scorpions, toads, geckos, as well as various poisonous snakes such as the rapeseed pit viper and the black-banded snake emerged.

Crazy hunting of various small animals and insects.

squeak!

A hare was bitten on the neck by a cabbage pit viper and jumped up screaming.

When it fell back to the ground, it could only lie there twitching, and it looked like it was about to die.

Rats even became food for poisonous snakes.

The stomachs of several poisonous snakes were swollen because they were swollen from the mice they ate.

If a hedgehog is attacked by a centipede or scorpion, it will die even if it curls up into a ball.

The chirping of small animals and insects gradually subsided.

There were all kinds of animal carcasses everywhere, which was shocking to see.

Wang Hu trembled and hugged the tree beside him, saying in a trembling voice: "Master Chen, let's hide in the tree."

He was simply frightened out of his wits.

Snakes, centipedes, scorpions, and geckos all climb trees.

Hiding in a tree is of no use.

Cui Hao and Shi Nianzi retreated to my side, protecting me and Old Man Su from the front and the back.

"Brother, the poisonous insects don't seem to have any intention of attacking us?"

The poisonous insects stopped after killing the small animals and insects.

They just surrounded us densely.

It seems that the killing just now was to scare us by making an example of them.

Thumping!

A crow flew over.

A crow landed on a treetop not far away, tilted its head and stared at me with its scarlet eyes.

This crow looks so familiar!

I'm sure this is the crow on the shoulder of the old man in Xiangxi!

"You don't even dare to show your head, so you send a crow as a spy?"

"I thought you were a capable person, but it turns out you're just a coward!"

"If you want something, come out!"

"Or I'll destroy everything!"

I shouted at the crow.

I want to use provocation to get him out.

But after shouting several times, there was no response from the old man from Xiangxi.

The crow tilted its head back and opened its mouth wide, as if it was yawning.

Then I walked back and forth on the treetops out of boredom.

Isn’t the old man from Xiangxi nearby?

Or are my threats not enough?

No... he should be on guard against Taoist Master Zhang.

They trapped us with poisonous insects because they were afraid that we would take the things and run away, and they could use us as bargaining chips to threaten Taoist Master Zhang to show up.

He wants to kill two birds with one stone!

I smiled coldly. The more he wanted, the more I couldn't let him succeed.

I took out the two horns, held them high and shook them at the crow.

"See it clearly!"

"If you don't get in front of me, I'll smash all these things to pieces!"

“It’s all ruined!”

After saying that, I picked up a stone and pretended to throw it at the diagonal corner.

"Caw!" the crow suddenly cried out.

Then came a hoarse cry: "Stop!"

"This is... ahem, put down these horns and you can leave."

I raised my emergency light and shone it in the direction of the sound.

An old man from Xiangxi, with a black cloth wrapped around his head and feathers stuck on the side, was walking towards him with a hunched back.

The bright light made him squint.

He roared, "How dare you take a picture of me!"

"Believe it or not, let the poisonous insects bite you to death!"

I continued to follow him and said with a smile, "Of course I believe it, but before the poisonous insects bite us to death, I will definitely destroy these horns."

"I suppose this thing is very important to you?"

"You! Are you looking for death?" The old man from Xiangxi jumped up and down in anger.

The angrier he got, the more convinced I was of the importance of that diagonal angle.

It seems that the two corners can be used as a temporary amulet.

"Don't think that I won't dare to attack you just because you are God's prey!"

"Those two corners are divine!"

"It's not something a mortal like you can get involved in!"

"If you dare to destroy it, you will surely suffer retribution!"

He roared and rushed towards me at a rapid pace.

A strong sense of unease welled up in my heart, and I shouted, "Stop!"

"One more step forward and I'll break your horn!"

The old man from Xiangxi not only did not stop, but instead sped up.

Seeing this, I raised the stone again and pretended to smash it at the opposite corner.

He stopped in his tracks helplessly, staring at me with sinister eyes: "Just give me those two horns, and everything else is negotiable."

"To show your sincerity, you can help your friend detoxify first."

He took out a pill and threw it over: "Just chew it up and apply it on the wound."

Shi Nianzi reached out to catch the pill, but I stopped him.

Who knows what the hell he threw at me.

What if there is a poisonous insect inside?

When facing someone who can cast a spell, it is best to keep a safe distance.

Snapped!

The pill fell to the ground and rolled to Old Man Xu's feet.

Old Man Su stared at the pill for three seconds, then slowly bent down and picked it up.

"Lao Su!"

"This may not be the antidote, there might be a poisonous insect inside!" I reminded.

"laugh!"

The old man from Xiangxi sneered and said, "You are judging others by your own standards. I am not as cunning as you."

Old Man Su smiled bitterly and pointed at his legs.

Even though I tied up his legs, the poison was still spreading upwards.

At this moment, the entire calf turned from purple to black.

If the poison is not detoxified, the entire calf will be lost.

"Master Chen, I can only trust him."

"Even if there's a poisonous insect, we have to give it a try!"

The fearless attitude he had just had had passed, and now Old Man Su's desire to survive was overflowing.

People are like this a lot of the time.

When you are passionate, you don’t take death seriously at all.

Once the passion cools down, one becomes even more reluctant to die.

This is what Old Man Su is like at the moment.

The chewed pills mixed with saliva turned into a thick paste.

He smeared the paste thickly on the wound.

"hiss!"

As soon as he applied it, he gasped: "It seems like something has penetrated into my wound!"

"Haozi, help him take a look!" I ordered in a deep voice.

Cui Hao looked at his wound and screamed in fright.

"insect!"

"There are bugs wriggling in the medicine paste!"

"The bugs are sucking blood!"

Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi became curious upon hearing this and went over to check it out.

I couldn't help but look at the wound on Old Man Su's leg.

There were indeed thread-like white worms wriggling in the medicine paste.

The wriggling worms drill into the wound, suck blood, and then swell up to the size of a bean caterpillar.

The insects that have sucked enough blood will fall off automatically and fall to the ground motionless.

Other insects continued to go up and suck blood.

In a short while, Old Man Su's legs turned from purple-black to light purple.

Apparently the toxin was sucked out by the bugs.

As I was watching in amazement, I heard the rustling sound of footsteps.

The old man from Xiangxi took advantage of my distraction and suddenly jumped forward a few steps.

I immediately raised the stone and aimed it at the corner.

He quickly stopped and laughed dryly, "Those horns are of no use to you, but they are of great use to me."

"Just give me the horn, and I'll definitely be able to help you get rid of the poison!"

"This is good for both you and me!"

I was stunned. I didn't expect him to make such an offer.

The Gu he mentioned is the curse behind me.

If he could really solve it...
