The more Xia Muqing scrutinized the snake, the heavier her heart felt.
The green snakeâs vision had completely disappeared, but it could still feel the movements around it.
This time, it didnât reject Xia Muqingâs approach.
The main reason was that it couldnât reject her even if it wanted to.
âDonât move. Let me check your wounds.â
Xia Muqing comforted the green snake. If the green snake struggled because of her touch, its injuries would be even more serious.
She had no idea if the green snake had understood her, but it stopped moving.
Xia Muqing carefully checked the snakeâs wounds.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Ssssâ
The green snake suddenly hissed, sounding somewhat anxious.
Xia Muqing didnât understand what it was trying to say, and she thought that she was hurting it, so she lowered her hand.
The green snake hissed even more urgently.
âSqueak squeak squeakââ
Xia Muqing didnât understand. After getting rid of the black wolf, Gungun approached the green snake.
Hearing Gungunâs sounds, the green snake relaxed a little.
Ssssâ
âSqueak squeak squeakââ
The two beastsâ exchange of sounds confused Xia Muqing.
What was going on?
Gungun finished talking to the green snake. With satisfaction, it turned to look at Xia Muqing.
It used its little head to point at the lotus and signaled Xia Muqing to take the lotus.
Xia Muqing looked at the green snake and whispered to Gungun, âAlthough we need the lotus, we canât take advantage of the snake right now.â
Squeak squeak squeakâ
Gungun squeaked angrily and gestured at the green snake.
Xia Muqing understood now. It had gotten the snakeâs consent.
Clearing her throat guiltily, she went to pluck the lotus.
Looking at the meat lotus in her hand, she was in a dilemma. How should she deal with it?
Gungun split the lotus into two and led Xia Muqing in a direction.
The green snake lay on the ground, as blood flowed out from the corner of its mouth.
Xia Muqing knew that Gungun must have reached an agreement with the green snake.
However, she couldnât leave the green snake in this state right now.
After putting down her backpack, Xia Muqing ignored Gungun and took out some medicinal herbs.
These were all collected by her and Gungun the past few days.
The main reason she came to the Sunset Mountains was that all kinds of medicinal herbs could be found here.
All she could use now was her medical skills and her poison knowledge.
There was no veterinarian in this world. Furthermore, the green snake was wounded badly.
In everyoneâs eyes, death was inevitable.
Gungun scrutinized Xia Muqingâs actions. The chemistry they had developed over the past few days, allowed it to immediately understand her intentions.
It silently retreated aside and didnât disturb Xia Muqing.
âSsssââ
The green snake had no idea what Xia Muqing was trying to do, and it hissed weakly.
It was urging Xia Muqing to deliver the meat lotus to its wife.
It was the deal between Gungun and the green snake.
The lotus flower was split into two. Half would be given to its wife and the other half was Xia Muqingâs reward.
Squeak squeak squeakâ
Gungun explained to Xia Muqing.
The green snake didnât want to delay the delivery of medicine to its wife.
It knew its own injuries. It wouldnât survive.
Xia Muqing ignored the green snakeâs objection and forcefully flipped it over.
She had checked the green snake just now. The most serious injuries on its body were the bite wounds on the head and neck.
She first applied some medicine to the wound on its neck to stop the bleeding.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Xia Muqing stopped the bleeding, she began to clean the wound on the snakeâs head.
The green snakeâs entire eye had caved in, and now both its eyes were covered with a layer of clotted blood.
If she didnât remove the blood clots, the green snake would lose its sight.
In this dangerous mountain range, the green snake would literally be waiting for its death if it had gone blind.
Xia Muqing knew the severity of the problem and she first held its enormous head in place.
She asked Gungun to bring the silver needles from her backpack.
This time, Gungun didnât protest and handed the silver needles to Xia Muqing.
Seeing that Gungun didnât take the opportunity to ask for some food, Xia Muqing felt that it was a little strange.
Gungun felt a little guilty. After all, if it had not injured the green snake severely, it wouldnât have lost the fight to the black wolf.
Besides, the green snake was protecting the lotus for its wife.
