450: Chapter 108 Answer_1 450: Chapter 108 Answer_1 Su Qi’s question had no answer.
None among Qing Qishu’s group could clarify what caused the “Night Attack.”
Not every question has an answer.
So people spend their entire lives just chasing a possibility.
For the Holy Tribe, survival had beco increasingly difficult; the “Night Attack” was just one of the unsolvable problems.
…
“That outfit, I recognized it at a glance.”
“I knew we would get separated after entering, but I didn’t know she wouldn’t be able to find .”
“She’s very good at finding people.”
“The Forest sea source realm is too vast.
I searched all day yesterday and found nothing.
Then I encountered the forest bear.
I stole its honey—that was honey, right?
Very sweet.
She would have definitely liked it; I put it in the box!
Where was I?
Oh, the bear, that bear, it just kept chasing , chase and chase…”
“I wanted to co out and look for her last night, but I couldn’t get out.”
“Later, when you ntioned Hidden clothes, I thought she’d like Hidden clothes.
Her movent isn’t very good.
I wanted to prepare one for her.
That way, if she encounters danger in the future and can’t run, she can hide.”
“I took the Hidden clothes and left, I didn’t waste ti.”
Su Qi rambled on, almost talking to himself.
In his tone, there wasn’t much sadness.
His content lacked logic, a ss.
“She’s very clever.”
“She also fights better than .
Her swordsmanship is very good…”
“You understand swordsmanship, don’t you?” he asked Jiang Wang.
Everyone continued to move in the direction of the Hidden Snake territory.
For Su Qi, soone very important to him had died.
But for the samurai of the Holy Tribe, this was just one of the countless people who had vanished into the “night.”
They felt regret, but it stopped there.
For Wu Quji and Jiang Wang, wasn’t it the sa?
Human joy and sorrow do not resonate with each other.
Jiang Wang responded with comforting affirmation, “Yes, I know so.”
He knew that at this mont, Su Qi didn’t need any lengthy discourses, just a simple acknowledgnt.
To tell him, soone was listening.
That was all.
“Her swordsmanship is very good.”
Su Qi repeated the phrase again, but that was all he repeated,
And for the rest of the journey, he spoke no more.
Perhaps it was regret, or perhaps it was remorse, or perhaps it was both.
…
The Hidden Snake territory was near.
Qing Qishu repeatedly claid that the Holy Tribe samurai often hunted Hidden Snakes, but in fact, the Hidden clothes in the tribe’s stores were all passed down from many years ago.
Since the appearance of Yan Xiao, the Holy Tribe’s range of activities had been shrinking.
Leaving Divine Shade Land usually only happened for two reasons, aside from hunting, there was pair-hunting.
The territory of the Hidden Snake is a notorious forbidden area.
Hidden Snakes, elusive in hiding and lightning-fast in attack, carrying potent venom, and living in groups commanded by a Snake King, are the most famous assassins in the Forest sea source realm.
As they approached the territory of the Hidden Snake, all Holy Tribe samurais beca increasingly vigilant, and Qing Ba Zhi even put away his Hidden clothes directly.
“They go mad at the sight of Hidden clothes,” said Qing Ba Zhi.
Jiang Wang acknowledged with understanding.
Last ti he passed through the Hidden Snake territory, ‘One Sword Full Circle’ had proved resistant to Hidden Snake attacks, giving him the confidence to co and gather materials.
“Who among you has experience hunting Hidden Snakes?” asked Jiang Wang.
The mbers of Qing Qishu’s group looked at each other, eventually all choosing to shake their heads.
This was not the ti for showing off.
Jiang Wang did not hesitate to take charge: “I have crossed the territory of the Hidden Snakes alone before, so this ti, let lead the operation, is that all right?”
“Yes,” said Qing Qishu.
“It should be so,” Qing Jiu Ye agreed.
Qing Ba Zhi was sowhat reluctant, but still nodded.
As for Wu Quji and Su Qi, they certainly weren’t going to object.
“Hidden Snakes have a social nature and they are all commanded by a Snake King, capable of ambushes and encirclents.
They are also highly venomous,” Jiang Wang began, looking at Qing Qishu.
“Can you withstand the attack of the Hidden Snakes?”
Qing Qishu thought for a mont, “The poison won’t kill .”
“…Good.”
Such resilience is truly remarkable.
Jiang Wang then turned to Qing Jiuye: “I’ve witnessed your archery, During battle, I might have to penetrate deep into the snake horde with Qishu to draw their attacks.
You provide support fire from the periphery to lighten our load.”
Qing Jiuye nodded, “Leave it to .”
For Jiang Wang, having been tempered by the Qi Yang battlefield, commanding a small team in combat was a walk in the park.
His gaze then shifted to Qing Bazhi: “Even though you can’t use the Hidden clothes, stay hidden at first.
Should you spot the Snake King of the Hidden Snakes, strive for a one-hit kill.
Can you do it?”
Qing Bazhi confidently asserted, “As long as I can spot it, there will be absolutely no problem.”
Jiang Wang looked at him, “I will try my best to flush out the Snake King.
Since we have resolved to hunt the Hidden Snakes, we must aim for the best.”
He then turned to Wu Quji: “Once the hunt begins, I will assign you a Hidden Snake as soon as possible for research; create an antidote quickly.
Will that be hard?”
Wu Quji laughed, “This is my specialty.”
He had a different arrangent for everyone’s unique strengths.
In the past, his assignnts on Dao Institute missions were never this ticulous.
This was growth.
And what he had given for this, only he himself knew.
Finally, Jiang Wang said to Su Qi, “You have the best agility, so act as the reserve troop, adapting as necessary.”
Su Qi nodded silently.
In battle, there should always be a reserve troop, not for anything else, but to allow oneself a margin for error.
One mistake shouldn’t lead to a complete rout from which there’s no recovery.
Moreover, given Su Qi’s current emotional state, he was likely unfit for a primary role.
To task him would be irresponsible, both to his safety and to the other hunters involved.
Jiang Wangdao said, “You all are experts battle-hardened by countless fights; I only have broad directives for each of you.
As for how to respond to specific situations, you’ll make the call.
I also trust you to make the best decisions.”
In his strategy, he and Qing Qishu, who excelled in defense, would penetrate deep into the snake horde, tackling the most dangerous aspect.
By this alone, no one could question his command.
According to the Holy Tribe’s map, the land of the Hidden Snakes that Jiang Wang last traversed is where they are most prolific and also one of the hunting ‘forbidden zones’ for Holy Tribe samurai.
In tis past when the Holy Tribe was still powerful, they had organized many hunting expeditions.
But with the ergence of Yan Xiao, and the continuous weakening of the Holy Tribe, it had been a long while since any samurai ventured here.
Now, Qing Qishu and the others were about to embrace the glory of their ancestors.
They were each excited…
Well, the most excited was undoubtedly Qing Qishu.
“I will use the skin of the Hidden Snake to weave a hat for Qinghua!” he declared resolutely.
“That’s truly ugly,” Qing Bazhi said without any sugarcoating.
“Qinghua has never liked wearing hats,” Qing Jiuye added.
The mont Qinghua was involved, he could no longer remain calm.
“What do you know?
When giving gifts, it’s the thought that counts!
Just imagine, I return in triumph, presenting the gift with my own hands.
The gift, drenched in my sweat, even stained with my blood…
How moved she would be?” Qing Qishu contemptuously squinted at them.
These youngsters, which of them had ever been involved in a romance?
They were all too far behind compared to Master Zhang!
“We’re approaching the target location,” Jiang Wang reminded, promptly quelling the rivalry among what could be a group of over a hundred-year-old ‘young people’.
Otherwise, how could one say that the map Su Qi obtained was the most valuable find?
The people of the Holy Tribe grew up in the Forest Sea Source Realm; despite the difficult situation, they undoubtedly knew the dangers here well.
At least this ti Jiang Wang wouldn’t have to wait until he stepped into the ambush to realize the danger.
Far away on the outskirts of Divine Shade Land, he unfurled his Dao Technique, continuously bombarding the ground to “beat the grass to startle the snake.”
The most terrifying aspect of the Hidden Snakes was their ability to hide, which could be described as coming and going without a trace.
But no matter how well they hid, they didn’t disappear.
When injured, there would still be a reaction.
Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~
The Snake King of the Hidden Snakes possessed intelligence and could command the snakes to carry out various tactical maneuvers.
Confronted with Jiang Wang’s show of force, it wouldn’t sit by and watch its horde lie down and wait for death.
‘Dead branches’ rustled, sliding across trees and all corners of the ground.
The horde of Hidden Snakes erged far from their hiding state, beginning their assault.
“Get ready!”
Jiang Wang exchanged a glance with Qing Qishu, preparing to move forward and attract the snake horde.
Suddenly, a figure shot in from the side.
Gliding through the air in a beautiful arc, the person held daggers in both hands, the blades flashing coldly!
