Chapter 199: Chapter 172: Thousand-Year Tomb 1 - Thousand Corpse Worms_4

After the Soul-Returning Grass grows, it will emit an odor that attracts exotic creatures, undetectable to humans but perceptible to these beings. The last time she saw the Soul-Returning Grass, it was surrounded by a large group of poisonous spiders. And now, these few strands of Soul-Returning Grass seem to have attracted Fire Green Snakes, even more formidable than the poisonous spiders.

Mo Yunchen also sensed something was off and looked towards the Fence Edge Grass, beneath which several green poisonous snakes were circling the Soul-Returning Grass, seemingly unaware of the two people’s presence.

"These are Fire Green Snakes, the most poisonous of snakes. One bite and you can forget about surviving, so we can’t act rashly," Qin Qin whispered, "If we don’t touch the Soul-Returning Grass, these snakes should not attack us."

The problem was that she had to obtain the Soul-Returning Grass but couldn’t think of a way to drive the Fire Green Snakes away for the moment.

With these Fire Green Snakes here, there were likely more in the vicinity, so she had to be cautious and think of a strategy.

"Master Mo, so this herb can cure your poison?!" Tianshi and a group of Shi Organization assassins entered from the cave mouth. They had been lying in ambush for a little while and had heard Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen’s conversation. They hadn’t expected the two to come here in search of the antidote for the poison afflicting Mo Yunchen, and the several inconspicuous herbs that could actually cure Mo Yunchen’s poison—how could they allow him to be cured?

"Master Mo, why don’t you just peacefully step aside?" Dark Dragon and a group of Shi Organization assassins raised their guns at Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen.

Qin Qin grabbed Mo Yunchen, giving him a meaningful look. She was worrying about not having a plan when someone delivered it right to her—it was as if Providence was watching over her. In this life, she found her luck to be truly exceptional; perhaps Heaven saw how pitiable her past life was and decided to give her extra care.

The two of them tacitly retreated. Dark Dragon and Tianshi gave a cold smile, feeling that Master Mo seemed less bold today—though that made things easier for them, sparing them much effort.

Dark Dragon and Tianshi commanded an assassin, "Go, uproot those strands of herbs. We want to see how Master Mo can continue to live without this thing."

Fortunately, when Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen had spoken about exotic creatures earlier, their voices were low, so the group did not hear them.

The tall and indifferent Assassin A put away his gun and walked towards the Soul-Returning Grass. Without any caution, he reached out to pick the herbs, only for a green shadow to quickly bite Assassin A’s hand. He hadn’t seen a thing and cried out loud as he clutched his hand.

Tianshi, Dark Dragon, and the group of assassins’ faces changed, "What happened?"

Assassin A turned around, but before he could speak, his complexion visibly darkened, then he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground motionless.

Tianshi said to Assassin B, "Go check what happened."

Although Assassin B was nervous, he dared not disobey the command and hesitantly walked towards Assassin A’s location, checked for breath, and then turned back to look at Tianshi and Dark Dragon, "Lord Tianshi, he’s dead!"

"Dead? How could he be dead?"

"Ah..." Suddenly, Assassin B screamed out, clutching at his neck. A thin, long Fire Green Snake had sunk its fangs viciously into his neck. Within seconds, Assassin B fell to the ground, as lifeless as Assassin A.

Several Fire Green Snakes emerged from the Soul-Returning Grass, sliding over the bodies of Assassin A and Assassin B. Their triangular heads rose high, warningly hissing at the group.

"What kind of snakes are these? So poisonous? They can kill in just a few seconds?" They were never afraid of snakes and had encountered many poisonous ones, but this was their first time seeing such lethal snakes that killed two of their men in just a few moments.

Tianshi and Dark Dragon fired their guns at the few Fire Green Snakes, quickly killing several of them.

Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen looked around, their ears twitching at the faint hissing sounds from all around. Their expressions darkened as their eyes shifted to the surroundings, only to see many Fire Green Snakes quickly slithering through the crevices in the walls, heading straight for Tianshi, Dark Dragon, and their group.

Watching the Fire Green Snakes seemingly ignoring them and no snakes by the Soul-Returning Grass anymore, Qin Qin quickly pulled up the Soul-Returning Grass and placed it in her spatial storage while Tianshi and Dark Dragon were busy dealing with the snakes.

As more and more Fire Green Snakes appeared around them, Mo Yunchen grabbed Qin Qin and they ran towards a Stone Gate, with Xiao Bai closely following. It hated these slimy creatures the most and wanted to stay close to its owner.

Next to the Stone Gate was a round stone button, which Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin quickly pressed. The Stone Gate swiftly opened, and the two of them along with the fox ran inside.
