CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 274: SNAKE VENOM_2

A moment later, Ye Changan finally spoke up, "That’s snake gall, and each one is not small."

This meant the snakes must be very large.

"It’s dangerous down there... Why didn’t you take the opportunity to subdue that Gao Yi just now?" Xiao Yu asked Sui Yi, who had stopped her earlier.

"Above."

Looking up, they saw the eagle still circling...

Xiao Yu frowned, "These people are very meticulous, and he just mentioned there is another group on the way. It seems like some people have been involved with the Ancient City of Loulan for a long time, and now, for some reason, they all gathered here. Or perhaps we have been in their plan from the beginning?"

"I don’t know, we’ll see when we see the people... Let’s go down."

The three of them descended from the tree after the eagle had left and came to a stone slab that showed no trace of disturbance.

"Sui Yi, did you already know there was a mechanism here?" Ye Changan asked curiously.

"No," Sui Yi shook his head... "This tunnel is not on the map. It’s just that the actions of these people are not upright. They wouldn’t likely keep people in that tower, and the signal on this tracker, although it points to this place, is much weaker. It’s likely not on the surface."

That made sense.

Xiao Yu had already been looking around... Suddenly, she pointed at a stone slab on the wall.

"This one has a lighter color than the others, and it’s smoother on the surface. Can you feel it?"

"That’s the mechanism lever, press it down," Sui Yi was not surprised that Xiao Yu found the mechanism since she was also an alert elite of the army.

Xiao Yu pressed her palm against the stone slab and pushed hard.

There was a shift...

The chains of the stone slab on the ground rattled, and Sui Yi used the tip of Yaofei to pry it open. The stone slab was lifted.

The sound was not loud.

"Let’s go!"

The three of them carefully entered the underground passage, then Sui Yi gently covered the stone slab.

The tunnel below was larger than Sui Yi and the others had anticipated, but it was irregular as if it had been hastily dug. It was uneven, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of soil and some blood.

Perhaps there were also scents of various mysterious creatures.

For the three of them, who were already wary of these creatures and had just seen those large snake galls, the scent sent a shiver down their spines. Sui Yi enhanced his Magnetic Sensation, checking if there were any nearby people, and then took out the tracker to look.

After a glance, Xiao Yu silently pointed forward, holding up three fingers.

Three hundred meters away?

Sui Yi nodded, thought for a moment, then handed the tracker to Ye Changan.

She and Xiao Yu would be fighting if a battle broke out, and wouldn’t have their hands free. Giving it to Ye Changan was the most suitable option.

Ye Changan didn’t refuse; she had learned how to operate it while watching Sui Yi and Xiao Yu. (Don’t ask why, top students don’t need to explain).

However, just as the three of them were about to set off...

"Ahh!!!"

A scream echoed through the passageway.

All three of them froze in expression.

This voice was...

--------

"Damn, looks like this guy had the weakest body... Couldn’t withstand the snake venom, dead within just an hour,"

The moment Gao Yi opened the door and uttered those first words, rage flared within Gong Jiu and the others. But each of them was caught in the torment of snake poison. If it weren’t for their hands and feet being tied, they would desperately tear their own flesh with their hands...

"You said it would be three hours... You lied to us!"

"Ha, the three hours I mentioned are the standard time... It’s the maximum resistance a human can reach... For the average person... forty minutes at most."

"You lowlife!"

The biggest in build, Han Gao swore, then let out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered, his limbs shaking violently, and trails of black poison lines oozing out on his skin...

Brother Ma wasn’t much better off. They were without inner strength, completely unable to resist the attack of such poison. Following them were Zhang Wei and Shen Di. They weren’t faring much better, only that their willpower was tremendously frightening. At the moment, they were gritting their teeth...

Such stamina, even among the soldiers on Yueh Xiangnan’s side, there would be several who couldn’t match them. However, when it came down to it, the endurance of these two groups had already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

"If you’ve got the guts, just kill us. What’s the point of torturing us like this!" Yueh Xiangnan gritted his teeth in fury.

"This is torture? I was actually considering applying Green Scorpion Grass and human-head ghosts on you lot. Do you know how many people have died inside the Ancient City of Loulan? And how they died?"

With an expressionless face, Gao Yi stated, "I can assure you, the way you die will definitely be the most pleasant among them!"

"Listening to you, it seems you’re a descendant of the people of the Ancient City of Loulan? Otherwise, where does all this resentment come from..."

Flower Demon caught a bit of information in the midst.

Gao Yi stared at Flower Demon... "It seems Sui Yi’s methods are indeed very terrifying. You got poisoned, and she only took a look at you, not only detoxified you but also helped you recover so quickly; otherwise, you should have been the first to die."

"I see now... you’re quite afraid of her," Flower Demon chuckled lightly.

"Afraid?" Gao Yi’s eyes suddenly turned as venomous as a snake’s.

"No matter how formidable she is, she can’t get here, nor would she dare to! Do you think our efforts over these years have been a joke? You people... only think about coming here for treasure, but you are overestimating yourselves..."

"I’m thinking it’s still not up to you to decide... Mr. Guide..."

Gao Yi’s expression paused, and he turned his head.

Before he could fully see who it was.

Pfft!

A bullet shot through his other leg.

Sui Yi and the others swiftly entered the basement. Ye Changan, upon seeing Gong Jiu and the others turning pale and contorting in pain, frowned, "You’re poisoned!~"

"Right, snake venom, hurry and find this piece of shit for an antidote... Damn it, I can hardly hold on anymore,"

Gong Jiu and the others were quickly unbound by Ye Changan but lacked even the strength to stand, collapsing limply onto the ground.

Antidote?

With Xiao Yu holding a gun to his head, Gao Yi quickly recovered from his initial shock and sneered, "You guys got here really fast, but forget about any antidote... There is no antidote!"
