Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times Chapter 1656 - 1282: Beautiful, Yet Deadly Temptation!
"What’s that?" Zhou Mu asked upon hearing, his brows imdiately furrowed, casting a disapproving glance at Gu Changsheng and speaking up.
Gu Changsheng heard the voice of his family evildoer and was instantly jolted back to reality from his excitent!
Oh my god, in a mont of excitent, he had forgotten that his family evildoer was right beside him!
It seed he wasn’t very fond of Gu Changsheng’s interest in places like the little servant house!
"Hehe..." Gu Changsheng chuckled awkwardly and imdiately changed the subject, speaking seriously, "I’ve inquired and found that the Pass Defending General at Yann Pass is nad Gadatu, quite skillful, and unexpectedly t him here in the Valley of Forgetfulness!"
Zhou Mu looked at the people of the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu’s n coming together, seemingly enjoying each other’s company, frowned slightly, "Could it be that the Northern Mongolian people are already aware of the news about the key? Otherwise, why would Gadatu be here?"
Gu Changsheng shook his head upon hearing and spoke with a furrowed brow, "That shouldn’t be the case. Only three people know the whereabouts of the key, and in Yann Pass, only Borjigin Nian knows. I think Gadatu might have been forced to cast a wide net and found himself here in the Valley of Forgetfulness!"
As Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu whispered to themselves, the people of the Hidden World Clan had already started mingling warmly with Gadatu!
This surprised Gu Changsheng quite a bit. The people of the Hidden World Clan, who usually held themselves aloof, when did they beco so approachable?
It seems that they really learned from the losses they suffered before, toning down their arrogance!
However, this is a good sign. With such a large group mapping out the path ahead, they won’t have to worry about the road ahead being difficult!
After exchanging laughs, the people of the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu’s group continued their journey together.
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu shrugged and continued following.
But soon, Gu Changsheng sensed sothing was amiss, his brows furrowed along!
Because after walking this far, almost reaching the Intestine-Breaking Cliff, they hadn’t encountered a single wild beast or danger!
Unusual events must have their cause!
Gu Changsheng firmly believed this!
"Stop!" Hence, as soon as he noticed the anomaly, Gu Changsheng raised his hand and called for a halt!
Almost the mont Gu Changsheng shouted stop, Zhou Mu halted his steps, turned around with a bewildered expression, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
With a furrowed brow, looking at the people of the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu’s group ahead, Gu Changsheng shook his head and spoke, "Slow down, I sense sothing’s not quite right..."
Just as Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu halted their steps, Yu Qingqiu at the front shouted excitedly, "Look, there’s a flower ahead, such beautiful flowers!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately turned and looked in the direction of Yu Qingqiu.
Sure enough, before Yu Qingqiu were sporadic brightly-colored flowers about the size of a bowl, blooming extrely vividly!
Almost upon seeing those flowers, Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed tightly, a flash of doubt appearing in his eyes, he began pondering and couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "I feel like I’ve seen these flowers sowhere before..."
But where exactly?
For a mont, Gu Changsheng couldn’t recall...
"Ah!"
Just as Gu Changsheng was thinking, a cry of surprise ca from Yu Qingqiu ahead!
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu imdiately looked up again towards Yu Qingqiu’s direction!
At this mont, Yu Qingqiu’s face had turned pale with fright, after the initial shout, he yelled hoarsely, "Help! Help! These flowers bite people..."
Upon hearing, Gu Changsheng’s gaze imdiately lowered, looking at Yu Qingqiu’s arm, and with just one glance, his pupils contracted tightly, shaking his head and muttering, "It’s over! Yu Qingqiu will be done for here!"
"What do you an?" Zhou Mu asked seriously upon hearing.
"That flower is called the Man-eating Flower! Its thorn has neurotoxin, he’s still shouting for help now, but very soon he’ll beco dazed, losing the ability to resist—and that’s not the most fatal part. The most fatal part is, beside the Man-eating Flower lies a deadly poisonous snake!"
Even Gu Changsheng’s eyes flashed with disbelief.
To be honest, she didn’t expect such things to exist in the deep valley of the Northern Mongolian Grassland!
Beautiful, yet deadly threat!
The Man-eating Flower accompanied by poisonous snakes shouldn’t grow in such a place!
That’s also the reason why Gu Changsheng couldn’t recall it imdiately!
In a previous life survival training in tropical rainforest, she had seen this type of flower once, and she had heard warnings from predecessors to avoid it by all ans!
"Should we save him?" Zhou Mu asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowing even tighter.
"Too late! We’re not close enough!" Gu Changsheng shook his head.
Almost at the instant Gu Changsheng shook his head, a new anomaly arose in Yu Qingqiu’s direction!
Yu Qingqiu’s hand was tightly bitten by the Man-eating Flower. While he was shouting for help, he hadn’t noticed that a slender dark green figure had suddenly sprung from the root of the Man-eating Flower...
Compared to giants like the Giant Python, the snake was so small it could almost be ignored, yet it was exceptionally agile, its snake mouth revealing nacing fangs, lunging toward the arm that the Man-eating Flower had bitten...
Gu Changsheng watched this sudden change unfold before her eyes, her expression slightly deepening...
Actually, she could have done it!
She’s known for her speed, and if she had given it her all, she could have rescued Yu Qingqiu from the jaws of the Man-eating Flower and venomous snake...
But she chose to give up!
Her hatred toward the Hidden World Clan all started with Yu Qingqiu. If it was soone else, even a stranger, Gu Changsheng might have rescued them, but it just so happened that this person was Yu Qingqiu!
The person Gu Changsheng least wanted to save!
"Whoosh!"
Just as Gu Changsheng’s mind wandered, a sharp arrow sound pierced the air...
Almost upon hearing the arrow sound, Gu Changsheng turned to see who shot the arrow...
"Really lucky!"
Seeing the burly man holding the bow and arrow, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled slightly, unable to resist speaking.
The one who shot the arrow was none other than the Yann Pass Defending General, Gadatu, known for his fondness for handso n!
At that mont, after releasing his arrow, he swung his burly arms, striding toward Yu Qingqiu, cursing as he went, "Are you crazy? Do you know what that is, and you dare to touch it? Haven’t you heard curiosity killed the cat?"
Saying this, Gadatu already reached Yu Qingqiu’s side, looking at Yu Qingqiu’s sowhat bewildered expression, his rugged face filled with somberness, reached out, pulled the arrow out from the Snake’s Seven-inch, and placed it back in the quiver behind him. Quickly, he took out a Fire Starter, preparing to roast the Man-eating Flower that wouldn’t let go of Yu Qingqiu’s arm...
Confronted with the fire, the Man-eating Flower quickly shriveled and retreated.
Yu Qingqiu’s arm regained freedom, scaring Yu Qingqiu nearly to death, still not recovered from his panic when Gadatu produced so filthy stuff from who knows where, spreading it over the part of Yu Qingqiu’s arm bitten by the Man-eating Flower!
"What’s this filthy thing? So stinky!" Yu Qingqiu reacted, imdiately raising his hand to cover his nose and speaking disdainfully.
"Horse dung! The Ghost Flower is poisonous. Our Northern Mongolian Doctors say horse dung can counteract the poison!" Gadatu replied, his face solemn.
"Thank you, General Gadatu. If not for your intervention, I’m afraid my child wouldn’t have survived!" Elder Yuh ca over, thanking Gadatu repeatedly.
Gadatu, quite pleased with the complints, donned a proud air, sternly warning, "This is the Ghost Flower; don’t touch it. Touching it ans eting Yama Raja, so be careful!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes..."
"..."
Everyone imdiately responded upon hearing the warning.
Gu Changsheng observed everything before her, nodding involuntarily.
Calling the Man-eating Flower a Ghost Flower truly fits!
And Gadatu, as he himself said, indeed has so skills!
The Northern Mongolian tribe excels in horsemanship and archery. If not for Gadatu’s skillful archery today, Yu Qingqiu might have perished here!
However, quickly, Gu Changsheng made up her mind, took hold of her evildoer, and sternly said, "Let’s go!"
"Go?" Zhou Mu, hearing this, showed a puzzled look as if he were a Divine Residence, and questioningly asked.
"Yes, let’s go! We can’t follow them anymore!" Gu Changsheng nodded, pulling her evildoer in another direction, explaining in a low voice while walking, "Man-eating Flowers usually appear in clusters, and besides venomous snakes, I’m worried there are other dangerous things here! There are too many of them; if they attract unwanted attention, it will be trouble for us!"
"We’ll bypass them and head straight to Intestine-Breaking Cliff!"
While saying this, Gu Changsheng’s radiant face wore a serious expression.
Damn, even such things as Man-eating Flowers can appear in Valley of Forgetfulness, showing that this place truly allows the living to forget worries!
Everyone dying here wouldn’t worry about a thing, right?
Man-eating Flowers are unpredictably appearing in Valley of Forgetfulness, so the presence of other frightening things isn’t surprising!
Like Man-eating Ants, for example!
If they were tangled with such swarm creatures, it would truly cost lives. Gu Changsheng couldn’t take such risks!
The plan to explore and gather stolen goods with the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu must be set aside; it’s better to be cautious. We’ve reached the depths of Valley of Forgetfulness, not far from Intestine-Breaking Cliff; bypassing them won’t take much extra travel since Intestine-Breaking Cliff is our ultimate destination!
Their red and purple figures quickly circled along the sparse outskirts of the Man-eating Flowers, but soon Gu Changsheng discovered...
