They were just some small snakes. Was it really necessary for these people to get so excited? Could it be that someone had actually lost their life while trying to pick the Dragon's Saliva Herb?
These small snakes were not worth worrying about.
However, the next moment, in the crowd, someone released the poisonous creatures they had brought with them as the wind changed direction.
Tang Youyou only took a faint sniff and knew exactly what it was.
She let out a muffled grunt, looking arrogantly unrivaled. She said coldly, "Childish tricks."
Hearing this, mocking sounds came from the crowd again. The voice was extremely harsh, and the person loudly sneered,
"You look like a young lad. Do you really think you can come to the Western Region? What do you think the Dragon's Saliva Herb is? How could someone like you be worthy of getting it?"
Hearing this, the smile on Tang Youyou's lips became even more bloodthirsty. She drew out the dagger from her waist and quickly rushed towards the small snakes.
With swift strikes, the blade flashed.
The blood of these small snakes stained Tang Youyou's blue - colored clothes.
The blood dyed her clothes bright red, making them look even more enchanting in the sunlight.
At this moment, the acne on Tang Youyou's face had already disappeared, and the effect of the pill that had been sustaining her body had also worn off.
Her peerless beauty left everyone present gasping in surprise.
"Doesn't this person look much better than before?"
"Much better? It's like she's a completely different person!"
As the voices died down, Tang Youyou saw in the distance that the white snake was eyeing her menacingly.
It seemed as if it wanted to swallow her alive the next second.
Everyone in the crowd held their breath, waiting to see what would happen.
The white snake's eyes kept turning, changing from deep purple to scarlet.
The old man saw Tang Youyou still standing there in a daze and quickly shouted in panic, "Run quickly! This thing is highly poisonous!"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou remained unmoved. She stared directly at the white snake and actually felt that this creature didn't mean her any harm.
So, she just stood there, waiting for the small snake to slither slowly towards her. The snake was completely white, a very rare kind.
At the same time, there was a man standing at the city gate. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a haughty expression and chiseled facial features, looking like a handsome young general.
This man held a long sword in his hand. Looking at the person surrounded by the snake swarm in front of him, he was slightly stunned.
"What's going on over there?"
the man asked.
Hearing this, his subordinate immediately went to the crowd to inquire and then came back. "Reporting to the Second Elder, over there is a young brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He wants to pick the Dragon's Saliva Herb and has been targeted by Bai Qi."
Hearing this, the Second Elder immediately became interested. "Oh? So there's such a brave boy nowadays. Take this old monk to have a look."
The two of them walked towards Tang Youyou and saw the stand - off between the person and the snake.
The Second Elder asked again, "How long has this situation been going on?"
The subordinate nodded and said, "It's already been an hour."
"An hour?"
The Second Elder repeated, his eyes filled with astonishment. This was clearly an unprecedented thing.
Since ancient times, those who came to the city wall in the Western Region to pick the Dragon's Saliva Herb basically either got devoured by the snake swarm or poisoned by Bai Qi within a quarter of an hour. In the end, their corpses would only become the dinner for all the snakes.
However, this young man had managed to hold out under the snake swarm for a full hour. Such a thing had never happened before.
While the Second Elder was thinking, Bai Qi gathered all its strength and concentrated it on its tail. It rushed straight towards Tang Youyou, but Tang Youyou nimbly dodged the snake's attack.
At this moment, the old man was so anxious that he was stamping his feet. This girl really didn't give him any peace.
Just as Tang Youyou was dodging, a jade bottle accidentally fell out of her sleeve. The bottle rolled on the ground, attracting everyone's attention, including the white snake's.
The little white snake slowly slithered towards the jade bottle. Looking at the broken bottle, there were still a few round black pills inside.
The fragrance of these pills made everyone feel intoxicated. This was definitely a good thing!
However, in the face of the white snake, those onlookers who were originally eager to act could only retreat one after another.
They saw Bai Qi slightly lower its head, sticking out its forked tongue, and pick up the pills on the ground with its mouth.
Seeing it squinting its eyes, Tang Youyou was also a bit stunned. This little guy seemed to really like her pills. Immediately afterwards, Tang Youyou took out three or four more jade bottles filled with pills from her sleeve.
She threw all the pills in the jade bottles to the little white snake. Seeing so many pills, the little white snake quickly coiled them up with its body.
Bai Qi ate the pills like they were candy. In just a short while, the small mountain of pills was eaten up cleanly. But at this moment, Tang Youyou had no more pills left. She had only refined so many pills before she left home.
But the next moment, the white snake looked at Tang Youyou again. This time, Bai Qi's eyes had turned into deep and beautiful purple ones.
The little snake suddenly darted onto Tang Youyou's body. This scene made the onlookers who were watching her instantly hold their breath in fear.
In the blink of an eye, the little snake darted onto the girl's wrist. It looked like a bracelet, very small and cute.
Tang Youyou gently touched the little white snake that looked like a bracelet. As soon as she touched the little guy, she felt the snake on her wrist coil tighter.
Hiss.
This little guy had a bit of a temper.
"If you keep bullying me, be careful I won't give you any more pills."
In an instant, the white snake seemed to understand her words. It immediately loosened its grip and quietly hung on her wrist.
The Second Elder on one side was also extremely shocked at this moment.
This child looked exactly like A Su.
The Second Elder came in front of Tang Youyou. After a long moment of silence, he took the initiative to ask, "What's your name?"
As he was speaking, everyone around also quieted down. Everyone knew that this man was the notoriously fierce Second Elder.
In the Western Region, there were a total of six elders. Each elder had their own unique skills, and there were countless apprentices eager to learn from them.
How could the most terrifying Second Elder in the rumors one day be attracted by a scrawny kid?
Tang Youyou saw that the person in front of her was dressed in extraordinary clothes. She guessed that he must be a person of high status.
Immediately, she replied, "Tang Jun."
Tang Jun? People with the Tang surname were quite rare.
The Second Elder frowned and asked again, "Why have you come here?"
