The poisonous spiders in Australia are quite terrifying, to say the least. The infamous Black Widow hails from Australia.
However, the information from the travel agency was incorrect; the person bitten by a poisonous spider was not a Huaxia tourist, but a local resident.
After enjoying the night rain, the Huaxia tourists went into their tents to rest. A few elderly and infirm were frightened during the day and fainted, so the Daoist Temple opened up two rooms in the parking lot for them to recuperate temporarily.
To be honest, Feng Jun is quite willing to take care of his fellow countryn. He knows the dangers of camping in Australia and specially asked Sister Hong to bring so insect repellent for them—these are pills from the Kunhao Plane, which not only repel insects but also snakes.
The pills were distributed by Elder Lin. Liu Yifei and others wanted to modestly say they had brought their own insect repellents, but most of the tour group didn’t prepare anything, except maybe carrying so balm or essential oils.
So Elder Lin had people spread the repellent, but the leftovers were actually collected back.
This isn’t about being stingy; you have to know, these are repellents provided by Luohua, which can’t be compared to ordinary products. Since Sister Hong didn’t mind, he naturally wanted to collect them.
A whole night passed without incident. At five-thirty in the morning, it beca light, and the rain started, causing wild animals in the surroundings to beco restless.
Yesterday’s rainfall only slightly dampened the ground, and after a night’s drying, it was mostly dry again. At this ti, rain began to fall again from the direction of the Daoist Temple, and many wild animals started to press closer.
Feng Jun was quite observant of these wild animals, but as he always says, his attitude towards animals is far less lenient than towards people.
In the legends of Daoist Sects, larger Daoist sites have cranes, green oxen, and even guardian beasts, which supposedly enhance the spiritual ambiance.
However, Feng Jun is not interested in this—the end of the spiritual era ans that any Spiritual Energy should first be used for humanity.
In other words, he doesn’t mind if a few wild animals occasionally appear near the temple, but too many would be unacceptable, turning it into sothing like a zoo. What’s the point?
Especially carnivorous animals, which are absolutely not allowed to approach, since any incident of injury would ruin the temple’s reputation.
So throughout the entire night, Feng Jun dealt with those wild animals.
At first, he released so pressure, and those animals ran away in fright. Herbivorous animals, especially, are extrely cautious; upon sensing sothing amiss, they fled without looking back.
Carnivorous animals were different. Their resilience was extraordinary; although they initially ran away in fright, they soon returned, curious to find out what had happened.
After several rounds of disturbance, he finally managed to thoroughly scare away all the animals, leaving none daring to approach the temple.
However, by early morning when it began raining at the temple, the pressure alone was not enough to frighten them. Most herbivorous animals were still hesitant, but the carnivorous ones began to approach again.
Feng Jun had to resort to Divine Sense attacks, instantly knocking out over ten wild dogs, two pythons, and a sizable lizard.
This thoroughly scared off the carnivorous animals. There was only one lizard, and although pythons have low intelligence, snakes are inherently a mystical species with a strong sense of danger.
As for wild dogs, their intelligence is impressive. Several packs, though unsure of what had happened, found it terrifying that their companions collapsed inexplicably. Who would dare venture further?
Thus, a series of wailing sounds began to echo.
So wild dogs, still unwilling to give up, attempted to seize a small emu, while two larger emus were entangled with other wild dogs.
At this mont, Feng Jun’s Divine Sense attack struck again, knocking out two wild dogs. One wild dog, then kicked by a large emu, bled from its mouth and lay motionless on the ground.
This series of noises not only scared the wild dogs but also frightened emus and kangaroos, who scattered in every direction. In the quiet dawn, the sound traveled far.
The main issue was the sheer number of animals gathered nearby, creating a chain reaction, which was no joke.
The camping Huaxia citizens were awakened, as were the locals. In their eagerness to see what was happening, one person accidentally got bitten by a spider.
The bitten person lived quite close to the Huaxia tourists, both located in the corridor leading from the parking lot to the Daoist Temple.
This corridor is wooden, with a roof for rain protection, as well as wooden benches, making it a good spot for camping.
However, typically the temple does not permit camping here due to concerns about people lighting fires and causing disasters—in reality, intoxicated Australians can be quite destructive; wooden structures can’t withstand much bashing.
This is temple property, but should anyone wish to camp, the temple generally doesn’t drive them away directly; a few large spotlights are sufficient deterrence—still think you can camp here? Let’s see how you sleep.
This ti it was Huaxia tourists. Sofia allowed them to stay here, naturally, without any spotlights. The locals, seeing this, ca to sleep for a night as well. The temple couldn’t treat them differently, so they simply reminded everyone to be wary of pickpockets.
So curious Huaxia tourists asked if there were pickpockets in Australia? Eventually, everyone maintained a respectful distance from each other.
Today, when it was ntioned that soone was bitten by a venomous spider, the locals imdiately recognized the type of spider—it was the notorious funnel-web spider, whose venom is even more potent than the black widow.
The spider had already been killed, but upon hearing that this is Australia’s most venomous spider, the nearby Huaxia tourists couldn’t help but gather around to watch.
The tour guide arrived a little late, saw the Huaxia citizens gathered around, and then spotted the funnel-web spider, causing him to be terrified and imdiately call the company for help, urging them to urgently send the antidote serum.
By the ti the travel agency called the embassy, the guide had already figured out that the one poisoned wasn’t a mber of his tour group but a local family out for a weekend trip.
Sotis you have to admire them; Australians truly live carefree lives, and they have big hearts—there’s a bushfire dozens of kiloters away, yet they co over for the weekend.
It’s a family of four, parents with a son and a daughter, and the one bitten is the young son, just nine years old this year.
Without the antidote serum, at his age, being bitten by a funnel-web spider, he could die within fifteen minutes.
But even if there is an antidote serum, it’s still troubleso because funnel-web spiders are relatively rare, and the serum is expensive. Small towns generally don’t have it, much less soone carrying it around.
And most of the people from Amsterdam Town, the nearest to the Daoist temple, have left, making it hard to find the serum.
Soone suggested that maybe the church might have it—churches don’t treat illnesses, but so believers donate various items there, and sotis there are dicines.
Finally, soone suggested, "Isn’t there a Guardian here? Why not ask them for help?"
Soone had already inford Sofia, and she ca out to understand the situation, then asked with a frown, "Can’t the antidote serum be airlifted here?"
People around her spoke in confusion, informing her that the serum was already being contacted, but whether it could be delivered within fifteen minutes was doubtful, and the earlier the treatnt for this kind of poisoning, the better.
Just then, Johnson approached, silently handing her a White Jade Vial, saying nothing.
But Sofia didn’t need him to speak; she had already received Feng Jun’s thought in her mind.
Then she poured out a pill from the White Jade Vial, raised her hand to pinch the boy’s cheek, waited for his mouth to open, and directly fed the pill into him, then pressed his chest, pinched his nose, and smoothly stroked his trachea for the pill to enter his stomach.
Her actions were extrely skillful, evidently practiced specifically, moving so quickly that others couldn’t react.
In fact, she hadn’t learned these skills for long, but had been pestering Feng Jun to teach her martial arts since the recent Dragon Gate convention had amazed her.
Although she couldn’t practice various fighting techniques every day like so martial artists, she could certainly learn so martial arts forms.
Initially, Feng Jun hadn’t planned to teach her, but with her heart committed to Huaxia, even going to watch competitions, it was reasonable to teach her so forms—such things are available abroad too, though rarely organized specifically.
Seeing her skills, the firefighter’s eyes lit up sharply, "Amazing!"
But the boy’s mother looked at Sofia, surprisingly asking, "What did you feed him... do you have a dical license?"
Sofia glanced at her indifferently, completely ignoring her, then pointed at the boy, "I proclaim... immune to all evil!"
Upon hearing this, many people around took two steps back, her phrase "I proclaim" was truly famous.
Sofia scanned her surroundings, turned, and walked into the Daoist temple without saying a word.
"Stop right there!" the boy’s mother was anxious. She had no issues with Sofia, but as a mother, seeing her son consu sothing inexplicable, she ought to ask what exactly it was, right?
Her husband, however, grabbed hold of her, shook his head, and wouldn’t let her act out.
The woman beca agitated, "Do you know what your son consud? I hate it when you pretend like this."
"She wouldn’t wager the temple’s reputation," the man replied with a blank expression after Sofia entered the gate, "if our son genuinely has an issue, we can question her then... if she genuinely ant well, then what you’re doing is wrong."
The woman laughed angrily, "The temple’s... reputation? Is it worth our son’s life?"
Just as they were arguing, they heard their son softly moan, "Water, I want to drink water!"
"Huh, he wants to drink water?" As a mother, her eyes lit up as she looked around for water, then she saw the full bottle of mineral water held by Liu Yifei, "Sir, could you give a bottle of water?"
Liu Yifei’s English wasn’t great, but he could read the situation, especially since he had friends nearby who were fluent in English. After a mont’s pause, he shook his head blankly, "Sorry, this bottle has been opened."
