Chapter 1829: Body Filled With Poison

“I have experience in wild forests, I can lead you out of the forest even without the use of a map.” One of them said. It was one of the two new members of the group.

When everyone heard this, they glanced at each other and said: “Then let’s get going! Don’t waste anymore time here.” Time was precious here. If they didn’t make it out of the forest in the given time limit, they would most probably not be able to survive.

“That way.” The man who spoke earlier said. He led the way and everyone in the group followed.

Although this was a forest, however, other than the chirping coming from the tree branches, there wasn’t even a single beast that roamed the forest floor. As the Ghost Elder didn’t give them a fasting pill, naturally, once they had exhausted their energy, and with being hungry, their speed started slowing down.

“I caught a snake, it’s not much but there is enough to share with a few people.” Bi San walked over to the group of people who were resting under a tree with a motionless snake in his hand.

After they saw the snake, some of them began picking twigs and branches and some of them began scaling the snake skin, while some lit a fire. Together, they prepared to roast the snake and share it between them. Even if there wasn’t much to share between them, at least it was something.

However, after Feng Jiu glanced at them, she said: “Don’t waste your time, this snake is inedible.”

As soon as she had spoken, everyone turned and looked at her.

“Why can’t we eat it?” Bi San asked.

“This is a poisonous snake.” Feng Jiu replied.

“As long as the snake gall is removed the meat can still be eaten.” Bi San said. He handled the snake agiley and peeled off the snake skin: “I’ve eaten many poisonous snakes during my experiences outside. Even if I haven’t come across this kind of poisonous snake in the past, what is so different about this snake from other poisonous snakes?”

In his opinion, as long as it had been prepared properly, it could be eaten. How could it not be edible?

“The meat of this kind of poisonous snake is poisonous too. If you eat it, you will be paralysed and then you will die.” Feng Jiu replied. Her gaze fell on his blood stained hand and her brow twisted slightly: “The snake’s blood is poisonous too. Do you still want your hands?”

Everyone looked at Feng Jiu’s solemn face. She didn’t seem to be lying. They couldn’t help but hesitate as they looked at the skinned snake. Bi San was just about to say that it was fine when his hand went numb, and the snake fell to the ground. He couldn’t help but be startled.

When they saw this, there was no more doubt, and they asked Feng Jiu immediately: “You know medicine? Is there an antidote for the blood on his hand? If there is no antidote, what will happen?”

During their experiences on the outside, they had never come across a poisonous snake like this before. What sort of hellish place was this?

Bi San looked at his hands which had now turned reddish and purplish. Though his heart sank, he didn’t say anything. What else could he say? He had already been warned and yet he didn’t heed the advice. Who could he blame but himself?

Feng Jiu glanced at him and asked: “Where did you catch the snake from? There will most probably be an antidote near the place where the snake had appeared.”

“In front.” Bi San said and walked over to where he had found the snake.

Feng Jiu walked behind him and the others also followed. They looked at Feng Jiu with surprise as they walked behind them. They hadn’t expected this ordinary looking young boy to have any medical knowledge, and he seemed quite proficient too.

They followed quietly when suddenly, they saw the young boy in azure stop. At the same time, the young boy reached out and pulled Bi San towards him.
