Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 590 - 235: Venom of the Poisonous Snake

Xu Binghu looked over and saw the sturdy man’s calf that had been bitten was already pitch black. Moreover, the venom was constantly spreading upward. If delayed any longer, the whole leg might become useless.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu immediately took out the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant he had on him, chewed it up, and then applied it to the wound.

After stabilizing for a while, Xu Ran asked, "Uncle, did you just say the poisonous snake came out of your cellar?"

"That’s right!" The sturdy man nodded. "Today, I just came back from the Great Mountain with a plump rabbit, wanting to improve the meal, so I went to the cellar to get some pickled cabbage to eat."

"As a result, just as I opened the cellar door, I saw a dark-red poisonous snake at the entrance. Before I could react, I was bitten."

Xu Ran’s face grew grave upon hearing this.

No matter how he had calculated, he hadn’t expected that these poisonous snakes would dig tunnels to enter the village.

The Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant has strong medicinal properties and is indeed the nemesis of poisonous snakes, but it can only affect snakes within ten meters.

As long as they dig deep enough underground, where the plant can’t reach, they can easily enter the village.

After all, the village is quite large, and not all places have the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant, so there are bound to be gaps they can exploit.

Moreover, it happened so suddenly at night, who could possibly carry the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant with them at all times?

Just as they finished discussing the situation, they heard a scream from not far away.

"Someone else got bitten," Xu Ran said and then disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu left a Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant with the sturdy man and said, "Take good care of it. We’re leaving first."

With that, he too left the place at an extremely fast speed, leaving the sturdy man bewildered.

"Since when did the hunters in the village become so fast?"

...

In no time, Xu Ran arrived at a familiar household.

"Grandpa Qi!"

Upon pushing open the wooden door, he saw an infant still in swaddling clothes lying on the ground, crying incessantly. Beside the child lay a woman, her calf blackened, clearly fainted.

A thick, dark-red poisonous snake stood half-raised, its tongue flicking, regarding the infant as prey.

At the doorway, Grandpa Qi, with his frail body, raised his hand, trembling, "Stop, please stop."

In the next moment, the snake opened its mouth, saliva dripping and hitting the ground, forming black mist.

"Not good!" Xu Ran exclaimed.

Even with the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant, if the baby got bitten, it wouldn’t survive long enough for the plant to take effect before it would instantly perish.

It’s because the infant’s body is just too weak.

Xu Ran knew this well.

In an instant, the wind gathered at his feet, hundreds of strands of Innate Qi converged at his legs, emitting a brilliant white glow.

Under the moonlight, Xu Ran vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared in front of the infant. His hands, also glowing with a white light, firmly clutched the snake’s open mouth, using a thousand pounds of pressure to force it shut, unable to open again.

The poisonous snake knew it couldn’t escape Xu Ran’s grasp, so it quickly swung its tail, trying to coil its several-meter-long body around Xu Ran, forcing him to let go.

But in the very next moment,

"Crack---"

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and the snake that was planning to attack suddenly went limp.

The snake was dead.

Xu Ran’s thousand-pound grip had crushed the snake’s skull.

Standing at the doorway, Grandpa Qi was awestruck, his eyes blankly fixed on Xu Ran, utterly shocked.

What had he just witnessed?

An infant, at a speed he couldn’t even follow, had saved his grandson, and effortlessly crushed the snake’s skull.

Such a thing, even after living so long, he had never seen, probably only those Body Refining experts deep in the Great Mountain could achieve something like this.

Then, Xu Ran casually flicked the snake away and immediately applied the crushed Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant onto the woman’s blackened calf.

After finishing everything, Xu Binghu reached the door, sighed in relief seeing the Qi family was okay.

"Dad, you’re late again," Xu Ran teased.

"Hey! Is that how you talk to your dad?" Xu Binghu feigned a stern face, "Besides, with your speed, who can keep up with you!!"

He then came to Xu Ran’s side, asking, "How is it, all settled?"

"It’s all settled."

"Another one out of a cellar?" Xu Binghu asked.

By this point, Grandpa Qi had come to his senses and approached them, saying, "Binghu, how did you know?"

Xu Binghu explained, "The same thing just happened to another family. A poisonous snake came out of the cellar and bit a villager, but everything’s okay now."

Xu Ran picked up the infant from the ground and handed it to Grandpa Qi.

Grandpa Qi, with trembling hands, received the child, and gratefully said, "Little Ran, thank you, if not for you, I wouldn’t have known what to do!!"

He recalled what had just happened and looked at Xu Binghu in confusion, asking, "Binghu, Little Ran he..."

Xu Binghu knew that Xu Ran had exposed his abilities to save people.

"Grandpa Qi, just as you saw, Little Ran is already a powerful figure with the strength of a thousand pounds, and he’s even stronger than me." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Ah!!" Grandpa Qi exclaimed, full of disbelief, looking at Xu Ran, who was less than a meter tall.
