Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 202 I Didn’t Give Up on You, 5 Poisons

"Poisonous insects? Still a lot?"

"Old Su, you are not making fun of us, are you?" Wang Hu said casually.

It is possible to encounter poisonous insects in the mountains and forests.

The probability of encountering many poisonous insects is much smaller.

Wang Hu naturally thought that Old Man Su was too bored to play a joke on everyone.

Cui Hao immediately picked up the emergency light and shone it on the surrounding grass and trees.

Where the light shines, you can see flying mosquitoes.

There are also small insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and mantises.

The only thing I didn't see was any poisonous insects.

"Lao Su, what kind of poisonous insect bit you?"

Just as Cui Hao finished speaking, a rustling sound was heard in the grass.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of small insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and mantises rushed out of the grass and ran towards the other side of the forest.

Wow!

The grass shook violently, and hares, hedgehogs, mice and other animals emerged.

They all ran at their fastest speed.

It seemed as if something was chasing them.

This strange scene left us all stunned.

"Brother, what's going on?"

"Isn't it going to be an earthquake? I heard that animals always run for their lives before an earthquake."

But I thought of what Old Man Su shouted.

What he shouted was: A lot of poisonous insects have entered the forest!

Could it be that these animals are running for their lives to avoid poisonous insects?

By the way, where is Old Man Su?

"Lao Su! How are you?" I shouted outside the woods.

"I was bitten on the leg by a poisonous insect!"

Old man Su limped and stumbled into the woods.

He waved his right hand anxiously and shouted, "What are you still standing there for! Run!"

"Run!"

He shouted the last sentence until his throat was hoarse.

"Hu Zi, Nian Zi, pack up your things and run over there!" I shouted, pointing in the direction the little animal was running.

Animals are often much more sensitive to danger than humans.

It is far better to follow them than to choose your own direction.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that Wang Hu was still a little dazed, I hit him hard on the arm.

"Ahhh!" Wang Hu came back to his senses, his voice a little out of tune.

He and Shi Nianzi packed up their things quickly.

I ran towards Old Man Su.

"Brother!" Cui Hao hurriedly grabbed me and said, "You go first, I'll go pick up Old Man Su!"

"you……"

Before I could finish my words, Cui Hao had already run out.

Old Man Su, who had rushed into the woods, slowed down more and more. He waved his hands frantically at us and shouted, "Leave me alone, I'm almost dying!"

"Master Chen!"

"My son and two precious grandchildren, please help me!"

Old Man Su stopped, leaned against a tree and gasped for breath, but his eyes were fixed on me.

His eyes were full of pleading.

He begged me to help him take care of his children and grandchildren.

"Don't give up, Lao Su! A bite from a poisonous insect won't kill you!"

I rushed over quickly, and Cui Hao and I came to Old Man Su one after another.

When I got closer, I saw that his face was pale and his lips were blue.

A strong fishy smell emanated from the right leg that was bitten by a poisonous insect.

It smells like pus.

I lifted up his trouser legs.

I saw that the entire right calf was purple, and there were two small round holes on the calf, from which pus and black blood continued to emerge.

The poison of poisonous insects is quite toxic.

After such a short while, the poison filled the entire calf.

"Old Su, please be patient!"

I took out the straps, wrapped them around his knees three times and tied a knot.

This is done to prevent the spread of toxins through the bloodstream.

Swish!

The grass not far away was shaking violently.

It seems like an army of insects is attacking.

Old Man Su's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Here they come! The poisonous insects are coming!"

"Rat!"

I winked at Cui Hao.

We grabbed Old Man Su's arms, one on each side, and put them on our shoulders, then ran with him in our arms.

"Hey! Leave me alone!"

"No one can escape this way!"

"If I die, it will be your turn to run!"

Old Man Su's tears flowed like a spring.

He has seen too many cases where his fellow Taoists died but he himself would rather die.

If you encounter danger, it is considered kind of your fellow travelers if they do not kick you down as a scapegoat.

"I'm seriously poisoned and will only become a burden to you!"

"It's no use saving me!"

"I can't repay you!"

"It's not worth it to save me, it's not worth it!"

Old man Su struggled hard, trying to break free from us and lay on the ground waiting to die.

On the one hand, I really don’t want to drag us down.

On the other hand, he felt that he was too deeply poisoned and wanted to die as a personal favor to me so that I could provide a future for his children and grandchildren.

Seeing that Cui Hao and I refused to let go, Old Man Su said in a mournful voice, "Master Chen, please let me go!"

"If you really value this friendship with me, then accept my two grandsons as your apprentices so that they can have something to eat in the future."

I shook my head vigorously: "Your children and grandchildren, take care of them yourselves."

"I haven't given up on you."

"You must not give up on yourself, huff, huff!"

I was panting from running.

I felt like my lungs were burning and the air I exhaled was almost turning into steam.

The rustling sound behind me was getting farther and farther away.

It seems that the poisonous insects are not very fast.

Just when I was about to slow down and take a breath, I saw Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi stopped.

They looked ahead in astonishment.

I saw all kinds of small animals and insects that had fled before turned around and ran back.

And he ran even faster than before.

It seemed that something even more terrifying was blocking the way.

Swish!

The two hares in the front ran past me, ran forward less than ten meters, and suddenly stopped.

The hare looked ahead in despair, letting out a shrill cry.

Squeak!

The mouse and hedgehog that followed also cried out.

They were anxious to run in the other two directions, but there were also small animals and insects running in those two directions.

There are poisonous insects all over the forest outside.

We are surrounded!

Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi retreated, both of them looking unhappy.

"Master Chen, there's a centipede over there!"

"So many centipedes!"

"I've never seen so many centipedes since I was a child!"

"Centipede?" I frowned slightly.

Centipede is one of the five poisonous animals.

The Five Poisons are also something that a Gu Master must raise.

It’s probably that old man from Xiangxi who has arrived.

I don’t know how Taoist Master Zhang is preparing.

He hasn't shown up yet, maybe something unexpected happened.

I didn't dare to think further.

Old Man Su leaned over and said weakly, "It was a scorpion that bit me."

"I chased away the scorpions crawling on my legs and feet, but I startled two of them and they stung me."

Some people say that scorpions are the most poisonous of the five poisonous animals.

It is said that scorpions have well-developed venom glands, and other poisonous creatures will run away when they see them.

These statements are basically fabricated.

Among the five poisons, there is no saying who ranks first.

When a Gu Master raises the Five Poison Gu, he only sees which one survives to the end.

"There are scorpions over there." Old Man Su pointed in the direction he was just in.

A centipede here, a scorpion there.

Two of the Five Poisons have appeared, which basically proves that it is the old man from Xiangxi who is causing trouble.

I guess he did it for the diagonal angle!

Continuing to wait is too passive.

I think it is necessary to take the initiative.

So he shouted loudly: "The one from Xiangxi, do you want what I have in my hand?"

"If you want, come and talk!"
