The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 944 - 920: Red Flowers

Jiang Xiaoxiao assigned each person two hours to search the bamboo forest separately, otherwise, with so many mountain peaks, who knows when they’d be done.

Everyone had to get used to this habit; it couldn’t be one or two individuals bearing this responsibility.

Everyone needs rest.

No one can entrust their life to others.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was the same.

But cooperation was necessary.

Teammates are there to help each other.

The four of them began to accept Jiang Xiaoxiao as their team leader with a new understanding, and from that moment on, each understood that they had to take on responsibilities and duties in the team; no one should depend on someone else to protect them.

This was the last section of the bamboo forest.

In the past few days, they had traversed bamboo forests of all sizes, with no gains.

Except for bamboo seeds and shoots.

Wu Yang and Bai Xiao, holding weapons, walked into the mountain forest cautiously and alert.

This mountain seemed different from the ones they had seen.

The bamboo forest was dense, but this last section was different from the previous bamboo forests.

Bugs chirped and birds called in the forest, it wasn’t so quiet.

A tree appeared before them.

A tall and sturdy trunk, with flourishing branches and leaves above.

The tree crown was at least ten meters long.

Most astonishing were the vivid red flowers blooming faintly among the green leaves at the tree crown.

These red blossoms emitted a strong fragrance.

Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately noticed a red fruit unexpectedly growing at the top of the tree crown.

"Everyone be careful, this suddenly appeared tree, its flowers and fruit, seem unusual. Generally speaking, according to traditional Chinese medicine theory, around these peculiar medicinal plants, guardian beasts typically appear... Be careful!"

A snake darted out like lightning.

If not for Jiang Xiaoxiao’s warning, it would have flown straight toward Wu Yang’s face.

Bai Xiao hurled a water column, and the snake was knocked away, directly hitting the tree, causing the leaves to sway.

She wasn’t brave, it was an impulsive reaction.

If Wu Yang hadn’t dodged quickly, the water would have struck his face.

Exactly!

Bai Xiao had lost her grip.

By sheer luck, the snake was stunned.

Just looking at that terrifying triangular snake head, you’d know the snake was definitely venomous.

Jiang Xiaoxiao cautiously scanned the surroundings, the atmosphere wasn’t right.

Wu Yang was so scared he nearly fell, "Bai Xiao, are you trying to kill me?"

Bai Xiao hastily apologized, "I intended to help you just now, but who knew I’d lose control in fright, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll be careful next time."

"Next time? This time you almost took my life. This woman is truly frightening."

Wu Yang complained as he got up, dusting off his buttocks.

"Serves you right for trying to bite me! Now you’re the one in trouble."

"Watch out!"

On the ground, the snake’s head, already severed in two, suddenly leapt up, then was pinned down tightly to the ground by an ice sword.

Wu Yang staggered back two steps in fright, "Oh my god, this snake can play dead? Clearly split in two, yet still able to leap up to bite."

Frightened and lingering in fear, he’d never expected the severed snake head on the ground could still leap up to bite; if he’d been bitten.

Now he’d probably have to join the snake in burial.

Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly picked up an arrow, wiping the tip with a cloth.

"Everyone stay vigilant, the situation isn’t clear."

The three girls, terrified, moved closer to Wu Yang and Jiang Xiaoxiao with their weapons.

"Xiao Xiao, shall we leave quickly? I feel like it’s creepy here. Feels like something’s off."

Bai Xiao, timid, especially since no girl can remain calm facing snakes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Alright! Let’s leave here first." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wu Yang glanced at the red flowers.

"We can leave, but we don’t know what those red flowers are. We can’t just let them go like this. How about picking a couple to store in a box, what if they’re important medicinal materials later on? With such a venomous snake guarding here, I actually feel it might be treasure."

Saying this, he reached out and plucked a red flower, bringing it to his nose to smell.

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned.

She had the same thought, but was more worried about there being more than one of those triangular snakes.

She could indeed detoxify, but even if she could, who’d want to be bitten by a snake.

Then...

A hissing noise was heard.

The five of them were instantly frozen.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and her companions were almost stunned seeing this scene.

Unnoticed, countless triangular-headed venomous snakes had slithered out all around from the encircling hills.

Clearly, the triangular-headed snakes, with their tongues flicking, were targeting the five of them, closing in slowly.

The three girls were so scared they couldn’t speak.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, what do we do? What do we do? How are there so many snakes?"

Bai Xiao was about to cry, clinging tightly to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s side, although holding onto her machete tightly, couldn’t stop her body from trembling.

Let alone Bai Xiao, even Jiang Xiaoxiao trembled inside seeing this boundless scene of various poisonous snakes appearing.

Who had seen such a scene?

It was mainly too horrifying, as far as the eye could see, thick or thin, big or small, all sorts of triangular-headed snakes were eyeing them, and the range was getting smaller and smaller, many snakes flicking their tongues as they sized up their prey coldly.

Wu Yang pulled out a bag of stuff from his pocket, swiftly sprinkling the yellow powder inside in a large circle around them.

As he sprinkled, he proudly showed off.

"You all got lucky, thanks to being with me, look what good stuff I’ve got in my pocket. My grandpa prepared this stuff, realgar powder, said it’s definitely useful against snakes."

The pale yellow powder formed a circle around them.

Sure enough, those snakes seemed a bit averse to or backed away as soon as they encountered the yellow powder.

Even Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile; if these snakes were really afraid of realgar powder, that would be good.

But she still had a shadow in her heart, mainly worrying about there being too many snakes, concerned that although they feared realgar powder, their sheer numbers might cause unpredictable changes.

Then... Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Wu Yang, overly pleased.

As he forcefully threw the last of the realgar powder out, the red flower stored in his pocket was accidentally dropped, rolled on the realgar powder, and fell outside the circle.

A triangular-headed snake quickly leapt at it, clamping the red flower in its mouth.

The other snakes, seeing this scene, seemed infuriated, and rapidly a few snakes attacked.

That snake was quickly torn apart by the others.

"Wu Yang, get back!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao really wanted to slap herself; wasn’t this a jinx?

If she hadn’t thought so.

Perhaps none of this would have happened.

Clearly, these snakes, having torn apart one snake, were still unsatisfied, watching the realgar eagerly, with a clear goal.

Those red flowers had already stirred these snakes’ desire.

Wu Yang stared dumbfounded at this scene; he realized he was doomed.

The red flower he dropped seemed to have had the opposite effect; these snakes now seemed provoked.

Seeing the snakes eager to test the realgar powder in crossing.

He suddenly realized it was over.

Even this realgar powder couldn’t hold back so many snakes.

Those bigger snakes seemed spiritually enlightened.

They apparently had intelligence, driving the smaller snakes to test the realgar powder.

As the small snakes rolled over the realgar powder, they carried away much realgar powder on their bodies.

Once the realgar powder before them was all contaminated, the remaining snakes would swarm over.

The five of them now realized the situation was not favorable.
