She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 42 - Jie Chen was bitten by a snake
Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Jie Chen was bitten by a snake!
Chapter 42 -42 Jie Chen was bitten by a snake!
Mr. Lin had long since passed out on the ground, and the bulky king cobra was coiled on the tree branch above his head.
The green snake eyes surveyed the people approaching.
The soldiers raised their arrows towards it.
Xiang Ying stretched out her hand to stop them: “Don’t provoke it yet, otherwise Mr. Lin will surely get hurt.”
“Guoshanfeng snakes generally don’t attack people on their own, there must be a reason why it has returned.”
“Moreover, this one is most likely a male snake, there must be a female snake nearby, everyone back away!”
The soldiers hesitated.
Until Jie Chen solemnly ordered: “Listen to her, back off!”
Then the soldiers put away their arrows and cleared the space.
Little snakes on the ground gathered nearby, as if searching for something.
The male snake hissed, focusing on Xiang Ying nearby.
Moments later, it descended from the tree and slithered forward.
Xiang Ying did not hesitate to pick up Mr. Lin and hand him over to the soldiers.
Then, she turned back and watched with wide eyes as the male snake headed towards Xiang Qianqian.
The Old Grand Princess Consort was so frightened her legs went weak, she kept screaming, slapping the concubines beside her who were also petrified with fear.
“Carry me, quickly carry me away!”
Xiang Qianqian went limp, her face turned pale as she saw the snake approach, her eyes widened in terror.
The male snake smelled around her for a while.
Xiang Ying frowned: “Guoshanfeng snakes are extremely protective of their young, did you take their snake eggs? Hurry up and take them out and put them on the ground!”
Xiang Qianqian’s lips trembled: “I, I, just roasted and ate them…”
As her words fell, the male snake had already slithered over to the fire pit.
Eggshells were scattered on the ground.
Empress Dowager Shangguan cursed anxiously: “You glutton, of all things to eat, why did you pick snake eggs to eat!”
“How would I know those were snake eggs, save me, big sister, save me!” Xiang Qianqian cried and begged for mercy repeatedly.
But Xiang Ying was powerless.
The venom of the king cobra was much more deadly than that of ordinary snakes.
She wouldn’t take risks, especially not for someone like Xiang Qianqian.
The male snake circled the smashed eggshells twice, as if to confirm its children were dead, then suddenly opened its bloody maw wide, making a fierce hissing sound.
There, Xiang Ying frowned: “The male snake is angry, it’s sending out a signal, the female is coming.”
In the animal kingdom, female snakes are usually larger and heavier.
This male snake is already ten meters long, not to mention the female!
In her past life during the apocalypse, she had heard from her elders that in the tropical rainforest, to quell their hunger they ate Guoshanfeng eggs.
As a result, after walking for thirty kilometers, they were chased down by that king cobra, and two out of four people were bitten to death.
If the female snake comes, it will relentlessly pursue and bite them.
As Xiang Ying finished speaking, those little snakes on the ground actually started biting people!
The soldiers jumped and stomped, creating total chaos.
Over at where the children were, Xiang Xiuxiu, who was originally lying in Xiang Li’s arms, suddenly saw a little snake crawling up the wheel.
She screamed in terror, her little hand grasping the snake’s tail, swinging it around in full circles.
Finally, with a flick of her wrist, she threw the snake out in a parabola.
Xiang Xiuxiu threw herself into Xiang Li’s arms, shivering: “So scary, uncle, we are surrounded by snakes, boo hoo.”
Xiang Li was still shocked by his niece’s act of grabbing the snake with her bare hands.
Their Xiu Xiu, timid, easily shy, but with great strength.
Xiang Yuanshuo spread his small hands: “Don’t be afraid, sister, I will protect you.”
Tao Xue picked him up: “Your Highness, it’s dangerous!”
Xiang Ying reminded Jie Chen: “You go look after the children.”
She took Jie Chen’s sword, preparing to deal with the approaching female snake.
Jie Chen frowned: “What are you going to do? Don’t take risks!”
Xiang Ying did not answer him, because the rustling noise was already rapidly approaching from a short distance away.
Before their eyes, the underbrush seemed pressed down by something, collapsing rapidly, spreading towards them.
It was evident that an extremely thick and long creature was chasing after them.
The male snake was already enraged, and it struck at Xiang Qianqian, who was closest.
“Ah—!” Xiang Qianqian screamed in terror, and in her panic, pushed Beauty Feng toward it.
Beauty Feng couldn’t dodge in time, and the male snake’s sharp fangs immediately bit into her arm, its body quickly coiling around Beauty Feng’s neck.
“Save me… Fifth Princess… save…” Beauty Feng fell to the ground, and the more she struggled, the tighter the snake’s coils became.
Xiang Qianqian was scared, but she managed to scramble away.
Even Empress Dowager Shangguan used all her strength to crawl away.
Captain Jia was so frightened his face turned pale, and he yelled at his soldiers: “Shoot the arrows! What are you waiting for? Bring them here!”
He kicked a soldier next to him, snatched the bow and arrow, and drew the bow fully.
Over a dozen arrows shot out, not only killing the male snake but also turning Beauty Feng into a porcupine, as she slowly stopped breathing.
On Xiang Ying’s side, she had already spotted the mother snake.
It was at least twelve meters long, as thick as an adult’s arm, with scales showing a bluish-black hue.
Its body was still covered in wet mud, clearly having followed their scent all day long.
Xiang Ying drew her sword and headed toward the mother snake, but Jie Chen grabbed her.
“Are you out of your mind!”
“It’s already angry, it won’t stop until it kills someone. Since that’s the case, I should strike first. Snake gallbladder in wine is a great tonic.”
With that, Xiang Ying shrugged off his restraint, her figure swiftly advancing to face the mother snake that rose up.
Just as she lifted her sword to strike, suddenly a melodious sound came.
The mother snake immediately stood still, hissing and flicking its tongue, listening to the enchanting music that had appeared.
Xiang Ying turned her head and saw Xiang Yuanlang behind them, standing behind a tree, playing with leaves.
With the guidance of the music, the mother snake slowly lay back down on the ground and slithered forward.
It sniffed the bodies of the dead Beauty Feng and male snake, and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, decisively slithered into the bushes and left.
Xiang Ying, holding onto her sword, didn’t know what to do.
“It’s leaving just like that?”
Not only the mother snake but also the remaining smaller snakes began to slither into the thicket.
Xiang Yuanlang came around from behind the tree to Xiang Ying’s side and whispered, “I told it that the person who took the snake eggs is dead, to not struggle anymore, as it wouldn’t end well for it with so many of us around.”
The little guy finished speaking and looked up, waiting for Xiang Ying to praise him as she had done last time.
Noticing his eager eyes, Xiang Ying reached out and patted his head: “You did great.”
It was a pity about the snake gallbladder, though the male snake’s would suffice.

Jie Chen approached, his mask’s thin eyes emanating a deep black.
“That was too dangerous just now. How could you act so recklessly!”
If bitten by a poisonous snake in such deep mountains and wilderness, one could only wait for death.
Xiang Ying heard the grinding tone in his voice but blinked: “Jie Jianjun, are you worried about me?”
Jie Chen’s jawline tensed: “If you died, no one would collect your corpse.”
Xiang Ying started laughing, her beauty blooming.
Just as she was about to speak, Jie Chen suddenly saw something crawling out over her shoulder from behind.
His expression changed: “Be careful!”
Jie Chen reached out and grabbed the little snake, and immediately, the startled snake bit into his palm.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes were heavy, her expression calm, and her actions swift as she chopped off the snake’s head.
She pulled out two fangs embedded in the skin, and then looked at the two little bloody holes in Jie Chen’s hand, which had already started to turn slightly black.
Xiang Yuanlang was startled: “That’s a poisonous snake.”
Scar face and the others gathered around, shocked: “The Military Supervisor has been bitten by a snake!”
It caused a great stir, and everyone hurried over to check the situation.
The Military Doctor who was supported over to examine the wound had a complex expression: “It’s over, it’s over! Without medicine, death is certain within three hours!”
Jie Chen was not yet panicked; he immediately ordered Scar face: “Go call all the team leaders here; I have something to instruct.”
The next second, however, he felt a warmth at the base of his palm.
Looking back, he was momentarily stunned.
Xiang Ying had actually taken his snake-bitten area into her mouth, sucking out two mouthfuls of poison and spitting it onto the ground.
The usually calm and cold Xiang Yuanlang stamped his small feet in urgency for the first time: “Are you insane? If you’re not careful, you could die too!”
