Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The more Xia Muqing scrutinized the snake, the heavier her heart felt.
The green snake’s vision had completely disappeared, but it could still feel the movements around it.
This time, it didn’t reject Xia Muqing’s approach.
The main reason was that it couldn’t reject her even if it wanted to.
“Don’t move. Let me check your wounds.”
Xia Muqing comforted the green snake. If the green snake struggled because of her touch, its injuries would be even more serious.
She had no idea if the green snake had understood her, but it stopped moving.
Xia Muqing carefully checked the snake’s wounds.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Ssss—
The green snake suddenly hissed, sounding somewhat anxious.
Xia Muqing didn’t understand what it was trying to say, and she thought that she was hurting it, so she lowered her hand.
The green snake hissed even more urgently.
“Squeak squeak squeak—”
Xia Muqing didn’t understand. After getting rid of the black wolf, Gungun approached the green snake.
Hearing Gungun’s sounds, the green snake relaxed a little.
Ssss—
“Squeak squeak squeak—”
The two beasts’ exchange of sounds confused Xia Muqing.
What was going on?
Gungun finished talking to the green snake. With satisfaction, it turned to look at Xia Muqing.
It used its little head to point at the lotus and signaled Xia Muqing to take the lotus.
Xia Muqing looked at the green snake and whispered to Gungun, “Although we need the lotus, we can’t take advantage of the snake right now.”
Squeak squeak squeak—
Gungun squeaked angrily and gestured at the green snake.
Xia Muqing understood now. It had gotten the snake’s consent.
Clearing her throat guiltily, she went to pluck the lotus.
Looking at the meat lotus in her hand, she was in a dilemma. How should she deal with it?
Gungun split the lotus into two and led Xia Muqing in a direction.
The green snake lay on the ground, as blood flowed out from the corner of its mouth.
Xia Muqing knew that Gungun must have reached an agreement with the green snake.
However, she couldn’t leave the green snake in this state right now.
After putting down her backpack, Xia Muqing ignored Gungun and took out some medicinal herbs.
These were all collected by her and Gungun the past few days.
The main reason she came to the Sunset Mountains was that all kinds of medicinal herbs could be found here.
All she could use now was her medical skills and her poison knowledge.
There was no veterinarian in this world. Furthermore, the green snake was wounded badly.
In everyone’s eyes, death was inevitable.
Gungun scrutinized Xia Muqing’s actions. The chemistry they had developed over the past few days, allowed it to immediately understand her intentions.
It silently retreated aside and didn’t disturb Xia Muqing.
“Ssss—”
The green snake had no idea what Xia Muqing was trying to do, and it hissed weakly.
It was urging Xia Muqing to deliver the meat lotus to its wife.
It was the deal between Gungun and the green snake.
The lotus flower was split into two. Half would be given to its wife and the other half was Xia Muqing’s reward.
Squeak squeak squeak—
Gungun explained to Xia Muqing.
The green snake didn’t want to delay the delivery of medicine to its wife.
It knew its own injuries. It wouldn’t survive.
Xia Muqing ignored the green snake’s objection and forcefully flipped it over.
She had checked the green snake just now. The most serious injuries on its body were the bite wounds on the head and neck.
She first applied some medicine to the wound on its neck to stop the bleeding.
After Xia Muqing stopped the bleeding, she began to clean the wound on the snake’s head.
The green snake’s entire eye had caved in, and now both its eyes were covered with a layer of clotted blood.
If she didn’t remove the blood clots, the green snake would lose its sight.
In this dangerous mountain range, the green snake would literally be waiting for its death if it had gone blind.
Xia Muqing knew the severity of the problem and she first held its enormous head in place.
She asked Gungun to bring the silver needles from her backpack.
This time, Gungun didn’t protest and handed the silver needles to Xia Muqing.
Seeing that Gungun didn’t take the opportunity to ask for some food, Xia Muqing felt that it was a little strange.
Gungun felt a little guilty. After all, if it had not injured the green snake severely, it wouldn’t have lost the fight to the black wolf.
Besides, the green snake was protecting the lotus for its wife.
