Lin Wanwan followed the crowd into the village to see the three children bitten by a snake.

However, the safety on the gun in her hand remained on.

In a lawless place like this, one cannot afford to let their guard down for a moment.

During the short walk from the village entrance, Lin Wanwan had already managed to catch some of the information.

Among the three bitten children, one was the grandson of the village chief, and another was the brother of that sharp young girl.

Now, the three children were gathered at the village chief’s house, and a witch doctor had been called to exorcize evil, but it was completely ineffective. The children’s bite wounds were swelling more severely, and they were becoming increasingly unconscious, all slipping into a semi-comatose state.

Upon stepping into the village chief’s courtyard, Lin Wanwan immediately saw a snake, over two meters long, with its head already smashed to bits.

Even though its head was crushed, Lin Wanwan couldn’t shake the illusion that it was still moving.

If not for the urgency of saving lives, she would have turned and left right away.

Lin Wanwan took a couple of deep breaths, switched off the gun’s safety, and tucked the gun into her belt.

Then, suppressing the eerie feeling, she stepped forward to closely examine the snake’s features.

The snake’s body was mainly black, with conspicuous white circular bands, making it look like a silver-banded krait.

No, it’s not a silver-banded krait.

Silver-banded kraits don’t get this big, usually only sixty to one hundred and twenty centimeters. Even given that the natural ecological environment fourteen hundred years ago was better than in later times, they would at most grow to about one hundred seventy centimeters.

But the snake in front of her was over two meters long, and by estimation, close to two and a half meters!

This was a juvenile king cobra!

An adult king cobra can rival a python in size, and its venom is a mix of neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, attacking the heart through the bloodstream, acting very quickly!

With a sufficient amount of venom, it can be lethal in just half an hour.

The ones bitten are children, who inherently have much weaker resistance to venom than adults, making the situation dire!

Knowing she would come to Lion City, Lin Wanwan had specifically researched the Lion City from a thousand years ago, which included information about its venomous snakes, allowing her to quickly identify the juvenile king cobra.

Since the snake that was killed was a juvenile king cobra, it’s highly likely the other one is too.

Although king cobras are loners, like the king of beasts, the tiger, and it is said that two kings cannot coexist, other snakes are even less likely to live near a king cobra. It’s more likely that another juvenile king cobra is nearby.

Without a word, Lin Wanwan went into the house under everyone’s watchful eyes, seeing three children lying side by side on the mat, bitten on the shin, ankle, and calf respectively.

The children’s wounds had been simply treated with crushed herbal medicines, and Lin Wanwan crouched down for a closer look, discovering it was ground herbal Paris polyphylla.

Paris polyphylla indeed has effects against snake venom, but it’s clearly insufficient for handling king cobra venom.

A person living in the Southern region has a better understanding of toxic insects and snakes than people from other areas do, knowing more about how to handle these issues, as accidents like this are common there.

Initially, Lin Wanwan thought the witch doctor the young girl mentioned was just a charlatan, it seems the person had some knowledge for dealing with snake venom.

They even prepared thoroughly, applying Paris polyphylla to the children’s wounds immediately, which was the best they could do.

The respective families of the three children clutched their children’s pale heads with tears and snot, looking toward Lin Wanwan and hoping this so-called divine figure from the sky had a solution.

The most experienced witch doctor nearby, it appeared, was helpless this time.

The children’s condition showed no improvement after the medication and ritual, sinking into further unconsciousness instead.

Lin Wanwan took out an acupuncture set from her hiking bag, drained the toxic blood from the children first, and then fed them the special detoxification pills she always kept in her emergency kit.

But this still wasn’t enough, for the children, Lin Wanwan decided if she was going to act, she should go big.

With natural composure, she stood up, looking around and then dramatically announced, "This snake’s venom is too potent for mortal medicine—I must go to the Heavenly Court to fetch the cure."

This statement set the whole place abuzz.

It was all spoken in Hakka, which Lin Wanwan could not understand. Still, judging by their expressions, disbelief was the predominant reaction.

After all, this was Lion City of a thousand years ago, Lin Wanwan had come this time, and she might not return again.

She planned to send people over to occupy this place, preparing for going overseas and becoming the Island Master.

Yet, leaving the Great Tang, fleeing overseas was a last-resort option if she could no longer survive within the Great Tang.

If she could thrive in Mao County, who would want to settle permanently in a place without four seasons?

This was just a fallback plan, not necessarily to be used.

Thus, when doing things here, Lin Wanwan did not have to be as restrained as she was in Great Tang County; she could act freely!

So, under the gazes of all present, she activated the Space-Time Bracelet and opened the Space-Time Gate.

All those present stood agape, watching Lin Wanwan leisurely step into the Light Gate, emitting a radiant green glow.

Just as Lin Wanwan’s other leg was about to fully step through the Space-Time Gate, someone came to their senses and impulsively lunged toward the Light Gate.

This was the path to the Heavenly Court; if one entered, could they become a deity?!

"Boom!"

A heavy collision sounded, followed by watching two villagers who lunged, getting sprawled back out by the Light Gate.

The two saw stars swirling before their eyes, dizzy and disoriented, unable to get up for the time being.

Everyone else was stunned by these two’s reckless actions!

The two from the village were known to be daring, but no one expected their daring to soar to such heights, even daring to forcefully enter the Immortal Gate!

"You two jinxed ones! Are you trying to doom our entire village? Who can bear the wrath of enraged deities?!" The villagers gradually came to their senses and began to berate and even shove at them vociferously.

The two who failed to force the Immortal Gate, clutching their heads in defeat, sat on the ground, taking the scolding and shoving silently.

By this time, Lin Wanwan already back in a modern suite’s master bedroom, quickly changed out of her ancient men’s clothing, incessantly pressing the call button for the butler.

Lion City was a world of capitalism, where money was virtually omnipotent, capable of getting things done that were impossible to accomplish within Huaxia at home.

Like now, Lin Wanwan told the suite’s exclusive butler, "Help me buy three doses of king cobra venom serum."

"Yes." The response was instant, without even questioning why the guest wanted to buy it, demonstrating the quality of an exclusive butler in a top suite.

The butler agreed so readily, making Lin Wanwan slightly uneasy.

Although Lu Shouyue had said during dinner, if there were any trouble, the butler could resolve it and the suite price included this service fee, Lin Wanwan still couldn’t help but add, "As quickly as possible."

"Yes, I will handle it immediately." The butler took the order and exited the suite with a backward stride.
