Chapter 1039: Bitten by a Snake
When Fatty Wang saw the snake, he immediately shouted happily, "Kill it quickly, we can eat snake meat!"
Xiao Han ignored the cultivators chasing after the snake. She took Ling Xiao's hand and saw two clear small blood holes on the skin of his hand, which was originally as smooth as warm jade.
Knowing that the desert was probably teeming with venomous snakes, Xiao Han untied the sleeve of her water-filled robe without a second thought, intending to rinse him with clean water.
Ling Xiao quickly dodged.
"No need, water is so precious, we can't waste it like this."
Xiao Han glared at him, "Stop dawdling, the venom will be inside soon, so quickly put your hand over and don't move around."
Xin Ziqi and the others also gathered around, their brows furrowed.
Qian Baiwan helped squeeze the water, while Xiao Han controlled the flow of water to rinse slowly.
This doesn't actually remove much of the venom, but it does have some effect.
By this time, Fatty Wang and his companions had already killed the spotted snake.
Xiao Han immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoist Wang, take out the snake gall and give it to him."
She remembered that when she was a child, there was an old man in the village who was bitten by a snake. He killed the snake, took the gall bladder, and drank it with rice wine. He was fine afterward and didn't go to the hospital.
We're doing this as a last resort, so let Ling Xiao eat it first.
Everyone present was born into the cultivation world, and all their common sense was related to cultivators.
Without spiritual energy, magic, elixirs, and even medicinal herbs, they simply couldn't think of a good way to handle the current situation.
Fatty Wang used the petal-shaped magic tool for skinning wolves to peel off the snake's skin and extract the dark green snake gall.
When Ling Xiao saw the raw snake gall bladder that Fatty Wang was holding up in front of him, he refused to open his mouth no matter what.
Xiao Han put on a stern face and said, "Look at the back of your hand. If you don't want to be poisoned to death, or be half-dead from the poison, swallow this quickly. This is to save your life, not some delicacy for you to taste whether it tastes good or not."
In just a short while, Ling Xiao's hand began to swell, and the wound started to turn black.
He already felt that he could no longer control this hand, and the numbness and pain were spreading upwards.
The water in the sleeve of the robe was not easy to drink, so Xiao Han quickly tied it up and put it away. Then she took out the wolf intestines filled with water from Ling Xiao's basket.
"Don't bite the gall bladder when it enters your mouth. I'll pour some water into your mouth, and then you should swallow it forcefully immediately."
With a little water in it, Lingxiao could swallow it more easily.
Fatty Wang threw the snake gall into Ling Xiao's mouth, and Xiao Han poured a mouthful of water from the wolf intestines into his mouth.
Ling Xiao was practically forced to swallow it.
If he weren't afraid of being a burden to everyone while half-dead, he would have preferred to be poisoned to death rather than swallow this thing alive.
We've tried folk remedies for detoxification, but for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.
Xiao Han plopped back down against the wall, drank several mouthfuls of water, and then forced herself to put it down.
We wasted some water just now, so we have to be extremely careful with the remaining water.
The water for the croton was specially contained in a small section of its intestine. Xiao Han only needed to untie it, let it drink its fill, and then tie it back up.
Turning around, I saw Ling Xiao clumsily untangling wolf intestines to drink water with one hand.
Xiao Han had no choice but to help him drink some more water and hand him a small handful of wolf entrails.
These foods are barely enough to quell a rebellious stomach; don't even think about eating until you're half full.
The fishy taste in his mouth lessened slightly, and Ling Xiao shook his head, not wanting to eat dried meat for the time being.
Xiao Han didn't force him. If the bitter gall was effective in detoxifying, he would naturally feel hungry once he recovered.
Fatty Wang put the snake meat out to dry in the sun.
Without fire, there was no way to roast the meat, so they could only dry it into jerky to take with them.
After drinking some water and eating some dried meat, Xiao Han had the energy to observe these powerful cultivators.
At this moment, everyone was huddled in the shadows at the base of the wall, their heads covered in visible dust and sand.
But nobody cared.
Xiao Han couldn't help but admire how these great cultivators were all men of unwavering resolve.
Even though they were once high and mighty immortals, detached from worldly affairs, now that they've fallen to this state, none of them are pretentious or unable to lower their guard.
At this moment, Ling Xiao moved closer and rested his head on Xiao Han's shoulder.
Looking at this young god emperor who should have been carefree and unrestrained, but now looked so vulnerable and helpless, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel maternal and rested his head on her lap.
She asked softly, "How are you feeling? Are you experiencing dizziness or palpitations?"
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and softly hummed in agreement.
In fact, Xiao Han received timely treatment, and his discomfort did not continue to worsen after he swallowed the snake gall.
But he certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity to gain sympathy slip by.
Ling Xiao looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and at this moment he appeared extremely vulnerable, so his attempt to gain Xiao Han's sympathy was bound to succeed every time.
Although Xiao Han sympathized with him, she didn't have any good ideas, so she took out the water and asked him if he wanted to drink some more.
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, only saying that he wanted to rest by leaning against Xiao Han.
Xiao Han sighed inwardly, adjusted her body, and then leaned against the stone wall to rest and sleep.
They need to rest here for at least two hours before continuing their journey, which gives Ling Xiao a chance to recover from his injuries.
Maintaining one position for a long time is very uncomfortable. Xiao Han slept for an hour in a half-awake state, but her body was really uncomfortable.
She lifted Ling Xiao's head, changed her posture, and examined the back of his hand again.
Although the wound is still swollen and black, it doesn't feel any worse.
Ling Xiao sat up straight, rested his head on Xiao Han's shoulder again, and whispered, "Xiao Han, thank you!"
Xiao Han smiled but didn't say anything.
When a person is sick, their emotions are most vulnerable.
Her taking care of him was not only due to their special relationship, but also perhaps because she had her own selfish motives.
Ling Xiao is just doing a mission and won't actually perish. Making a God Emperor feel favorably towards her and grateful is always beneficial.
Xiao Han handed the dried meat to Ling Xiao again, and Ling Xiao slowly ate some.
Seeing that the hottest part of the day had passed, Xin Ziqi walked over and looked at Ling Xiao.
"How are you feeling now? Do you want me to find someone to carry you?"
Ling Xiao stood up and checked his physical condition. Fortunately, although he wasn't very energetic, he could still manage to keep going.
Seeing that he was not in good condition, Xin Ziqi called out to the middle-aged cultivator who had run out of supplies, "Fellow Daoist Xi, help him walk for a while. After we walk a distance, I will have someone replace you."
Brother Xi nodded in agreement.
The only supplies left in Lingxiao's basket were a wolf pelt and water from the remaining wolf intestines.
His basket was still intact. Xiao Han transferred his supplies into Ling Xiao's basket and carried his own nearly broken one as he walked.
When they started walking again, Master Xi put Ling Xiao's left arm on his shoulder and supported him as they walked.
Xiao Han wrapped Ling Xiao's head with his outer robe to shield it from the sun, and the group began their journey through the vast desert once again.
