The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2418: Vipers (2)

Gold was overjoyed. Arriving here, he had been eager to unfurl his coils. After all, moving freely in the jungle offered far more liberation than being wrapped around a wrist. Moreover, who knew if he might even recruit some subordinates? Hadn't Xiaohei always been showing off? Wasn't it precisely because he had followers? This king cares nothing for such things, but if I did, those subordinates would swiftly be at my beck and call.

Naturally, this was not the moment for idle musings; his mission had not been forgotten.

However, with over twenty cult members and more than forty Medicinal Soldiers present, eliminating them would not be a swift endeavor, and his potent venom was far too precious to squander on such mere lackeys.

Such menial tasks as biting should be delegated to subordinates, and after a brief excursion, he had indeed gathered quite a number of venomous snakes. Those possessing only mild venom were, of course, unqualified to join.

Before long, shrill cries of individuals being bitten by snakes reverberated throughout the vicinity.

Furthermore, these sounds persisted, and then everyone became aware that venomous snakes had, at some point, swarmed in from all directions.

"What is happening?" a cult member on patrol at the forefront suddenly cried out in alarm, "I was only just transferred here; surely I'm not going to perish, am I?"

Gu Qingheng felt a jolt of fear as well: "Could we have perhaps offended the Mountain God? Cough, cough, I've heard tales, is it not said the Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor? Doesn't that make his son a little dragon? Could our holding the little dragon captive here have provoked the true dragon's wrath? Otherwise, why would the medicinal powder cease to function?"

Upon hearing this, those nearby couldn't help but exchange apprehensive glances. What if there was a kernel of truth to these words?

The snakes, lacking any semblance of intelligence, made no distinction between individuals, and several lunged directly at Gu Qingheng.

Gu Qingheng had no alternative but to draw the sword from his hip to slay the encroaching serpents, but swiftly, Gold surged forward, opening its maw wide at the indiscriminate snakes, terrifying the minions so greatly that they quickly diverted their attention to find different targets.

Witnessing the cult member who had just been speaking with him fall, Gu Qingheng could only heave a sigh and turn his gaze towards the cave. It was not that he lacked compassion, but he could genuinely muster no sympathy for the members of the Flame Sect. How many among them did not have bloodstained hands?

Nevertheless, while the venomous snakes could certainly claim lives, they were ineffective against the herbalists; the specifics of how the Flame Sect managed this remained unclear, but it appeared the herbalists had reached a consensus among themselves. Following the attack on the cult members, they offered no assistance but instead convened collectively, moving towards the cave. Some cult members attempted to flee the snakes, only to be directly dispatched by the Medicinal Soldiers.

Observing this situation, Gu Qingheng deduced that these herbalists had likely been indoctrinated: in the event of any disturbance, their sole responsibility was to guard those within the cave. With such a formidable number of herbalists obstructing the entrance, no matter his prowess, defeating them all was an impossible feat.

At this critical juncture, his only recourse was to dispatch a signal, summoning Dao Xuzi and the others for urgent assistance.

"I must inquire, how precisely did you orchestrate all of this?" Ran Lei, though uncertain of Gu Qingheng's methods, could clearly discern that in merely half a day, the situation here had been drastically destabilized. It was evident he was no ordinary individual.

Gu Qingheng responded with a chuckle, "My efforts have yet to yield complete success; these Medicinal Soldiers prove far more formidable than those cult members." The diminutive leader who controlled these Medicinal Soldiers through avian calls was already deceased, meaning that to breach the stone cave now, they would have to overcome all these formidable Medicinal Soldiers.

"A battle? Count me in!" Ming Guang declared with palpable excitement as he rose to his feet.
