Chapter 266 The group accidentally enters Snake Mountain and is surrounded by snakes at night.
Shen Shuli expressed her thoughts.
"I have 558 horses in my space, 200 of which are adult stallions."
"Once I find a suitable opportunity in the mountains, I will release them and tame them like wild horses. Then we can go down the mountain and take the official road."
"With horses, our travel speed will be greatly improved."
"No way, those are all your things, how can you give them away to others?" Su Yunhai couldn't bear to part with them.
The horses in the girl's space have all been tempered by spiritual energy, and their physiques are much stronger than those of the Northern Barbarian warhorses.
Just thinking about giving it away to the rest of the team made Su Yunhai feel a pang of heartache.
Besides, his daughter is even more of a miser than him, how could he not feel sorry for her?
Shen Shuli smiled helplessly: "Father, this is the best solution I can think of. Although I'm reluctant, I never intended to give the horse away to them."
“I will only rent to them and charge them a rental fee. Once we arrive at the destination, I will take the horses back.”
"Of course, I would be happy to sell if someone offered a high price."
As long as the number of mares in the space is maintained, more horses can be bred, so she will definitely not lack horses.
"Since you've already made up your mind, then we'll listen to you. I'll cooperate with you then." Su Yunhai nodded helplessly.
In this situation, he couldn't think of a better solution.
After all, the journey is too long, and there is still at least half the distance to go, so we really can't afford to delay.
"Okay, tell everyone to make more rainproof gear these next few days," Shen Shuli reminded them.
"Yes, don't worry, Dad will guarantee to complete the mission."
After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yunhai led them on their way.
The mountains here are affected by the salt lake, making them steep and sparsely vegetated, creating a desolate landscape that evokes a sense of bleakness.
Everyone was rushing on their way, trying to get out of the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise they would feel very depressed and heavy-hearted.
"Ahhh, there's a snake!"
Sudden.
Someone exclaimed, startling everyone.
The crowd instantly stirred.
No one is unafraid of snakes. At the mere mention of a snake, everyone jumps around in panic, as if afraid that a snake is right under their feet.
The bodyguards and the silver-armored guards remained calm, and they scattered to quickly observe the situation on the ground.
They discovered that more than a dozen snakes were slowly crawling towards the group from the surrounding mountains.
They acted immediately, swiftly cutting the snake in half.
"How can there be so many snakes?" Shen Shuli asked, puzzled.
Seeing that all the snakes had been cleared away, Mu Wanjun stepped out of the group and looked at the snake corpses on the ground with a solemn expression.
"That's a rattlesnake, and it's highly venomous!"
Shen Shuli also walked over and frowned as she looked at the snake bodies scattered all over the ground: "Rattlesnakes are usually solitary, how come there are so many here?"
Mu Wanjun analyzed, "I don't know. These snakes were probably sunbathing on these rocks when they were startled by our movements, which is why they attacked us."
The Xie brothers, Chengyuan and Chengyu, also came over and warned, "Let's leave here quickly, be careful of snakes."
"it is good!"
The team finally regained their composure, but they were still somewhat frightened. If someone hadn't spotted the snakes, they would have certainly died on the spot if they had been ambushed by these venomous snakes!
Everyone was watching their surroundings closely, afraid that another venomous snake might appear.
But the group had only gone less than a mile when they found that there were snakes blocking their way again!
This time there are twice as many snakes as before!
The guards' expressions turned serious when they learned that these snakes were extremely venomous.
While quickly clearing away the snakes, they remained cautious, fearing they might be attacked and bitten by a venomous snake.
"The men should all go to the outside, while the women, children, and the elderly should be protected in the middle, and the guards should be on the outermost perimeter to increase vigilance!"
Su Yunhai had a bad feeling and immediately ordered the team to change formation.
Everyone immediately began to carry out the plan and quickly formed a proper formation.
The disguised Xie Chengyuan and Xuan Guang were the strongest, and the two of them walked at the front to clear the way.
Shen Shuli lagged behind, occasionally secretly storing the slain snake corpses into her spatial storage.
These snakes are all highly venomous, and Mu Wanjun strongly requested that she help her collect them so that she could extract the toxins from them to make poison when she had the chance.
Shen Shuli, of course, would not refuse her best friend's request and naturally spoiled her.
If it weren't for the many livestock and tiger cubs she kept in her space, Shen Shuli would have liked to keep a few venomous snakes there.
I want to experiment and see if the spiritual spring water can temper and enhance the rattlesnake's venom.
For the safety of the other animals, she had to abandon the idea for the time being.
"Wait, I have a big water tank!"
Why not just put the snake in a big water tank?
Wouldn't that prevent venomous snakes from running around freely?
Do it when you think of it.
Shen Shuli secretly distanced herself from the group and went back to store all the snake corpses that had been killed along the way in her spatial warehouse.
Then they searched the surrounding area for traces of rattlesnakes.
"There are so many snake molts here!" Shen Shuli's eyes lit up.
Before me was a small snake den, but there were no snakes inside, only countless snake skins.
Shen Shuli felt a chill run down her spine!
Shen Shuli quickly put all the snake molts into her spatial storage and left, her mind still filled with the vivid images that had just resurfaced.
Although Shen Shuli wasn't afraid of snakes, she still felt physically uncomfortable.
"It seems we've stumbled upon a snake mountain."
After walking for a while, Shen Shuli discovered a group of snakes, numbering thirty or forty rattlesnakes.
She didn't approach the snakes, but instead put them all into the large water tank she had prepared in her space, making sure to close the lid tightly to prevent any snakes from escaping.
Shen Shuli did not stray from the group for long before immediately returning to catch up.
During her absence, Shen Shuli discovered that the team had killed at least two hundred venomous snakes.
Everyone in the team looked very serious.
"Captain, there are more and more snakes ahead. Should we continue?" a woman couldn't help but ask.
Although she was protected in the middle, she was still terrified.
The main reason is that she can see the dense, twisted bodies of snakes along the way, which would make most people feel uncomfortable.
"That's right, Captain Su. It's alright during the day, we can see the snakes, but at night, the snakes will be active, and we definitely won't be able to defend against them."
Su Yunhai glanced at the map and said with a solemn expression, "We'll be able to leave this mountain in two more hours. If you're really afraid, then we'll go back and take the official road."
"Let's discuss this, and the minority shall submit to the majority."
The line stopped immediately.
The guards remained on the outermost perimeter, maintaining a tight watch, and the group quickly gathered together to begin their discussion.
Shen Shuli's consciousness secretly sank into the space, took out two snakes and put them into another large water vat.
They then took out realgar wine from the warehouse and sprinkled it into the water tank containing the two snakes to observe them.
The two snakes, which were originally quite docile, became instantly agitated after smelling the scent.
They struggled frantically in the water tank and attacked each other indiscriminately.
It is evident that realgar wine has a restraining effect on snakes.
But she doesn't have much stock in her storage space.
Who knows how many more snakes we'll encounter on the second half of the mountain road?
We need to think of other solutions.
She suddenly saw a large flock of white geese standing proudly in the space, and her eyes lit up!
White geese are also the nemesis of snakes!
this time.
Because Shen Shuli did not collect the eggs in time after the space expanded, many chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons in the space were hatched.
The number of white geese has reached over a thousand.
But what will others think if she lets the big white goose out?
Why worry about so much?
Anyway, as long as she doesn't admit it, no one will suspect that these white geese are related to her!
After secretly creating some distance between herself and the group, Shen Shuli immediately released five hundred large white geese.
“呱呱呱呱！”
The outside temperature is at least 20 degrees Celsius higher than the temperature inside.
The moment it left the space, the white goose began to squawk and squawk in extreme discomfort.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this large flock of snow-white, energetic geese that suddenly appeared.
The people who were having a heated discussion all stared blankly at the big white goose, their minds completely blank.
The Su and Shen families, along with their guards, were equally formidable.
Only Su Yunhai, Shen Yuehua, and Mu Wanjun knew that Shen Shuli was behind it all.
However, upon seeing such a large flock of white geese, their initial tension instantly dissipated.
White geese are quite formidable fighters; having them around makes dealing with snakes much safer.
But the white geese will definitely suffer losses.
"My goodness, how can there be so many big white geese!"
"My God, I've never seen such a fat and big white goose before!"
"Can anyone tell me how so many big white geese could appear in this desolate wilderness?"
"Such a beautiful white goose must smell delicious!"
"Quick, quick, let's catch the goose! We'll have meat for dinner tonight!"
Once everyone realized what was happening, they immediately started talking at once, trying to catch the goose, and for a moment they forgot about the snakes.
Seeing everyone watching the goose pounce on its prey like a hungry wolf, Su Yunhai quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Everyone, stop moving!"
The man who was about to catch the goose immediately stopped and looked at Su Yunhai in confusion.
"It suddenly occurred to me that geese are natural predators of snakes, and these geese might have come specifically to help us catch snakes, so let's not touch them yet!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat stunned.
They never expected that geese were actually natural enemies of venomous snakes!
Before being exiled, these prisoners were all high-ranking officials who rarely came into contact with the lives of ordinary people, so they were probably not very clear about these basic common sense facts.
Originally, the prisoners' eyes were filled with all sorts of delicious food when they looked at the goose, but now, the goose has become their mascot for warding off snakes.
"Really? Can geese really control these venomous snakes?" Some people were incredulous and couldn't help but question it.
"Why don't we try and see?" Shen Shuli replied, then herded the goose to the front of the line.
The white goose was very familiar with Shen Shuli and obeyed her commands.
Having adapted to their environment somewhat, they spread their wings and marched ahead with great pride.
The snakes in the vicinity have been cleared away.
The group encountered another group of snakes after walking one kilometer.
Before Shen Shuli could even give any instructions, the sharp-eyed white goose spotted the snakes and immediately warned them.
At first, the snakes all raised their necks, trying to attack the geese, but the number of geese was dozens of times that of the snakes, and one of them, a large white goose over a meter in size, led the attack on the snakes.
The other white geese were not to be outdone and immediately began attacking the snakes.
The snakes quickly realized they were no match for the giant white goose and retreated.
Everyone was amazed by the fighting prowess of the giant white goose after witnessing this scene.
Who would have thought that snakes, at the top of the food chain, are no match for poultry!
