Chapter 1615 — What a Coincidence
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
She had been about to raise an objection — but she never expected the man before her would actually buy it!
"Why does a snake-seller like you talk so much rubbish? The money's yours — now hand over the snake!" Gao Xiaofu was fuming. It was bad enough that the old man's prices were extortionate, but now he'd taken the money and still didn't want to sell? Was two thousand not enough for him?
"You'd pay this much and still buy it?" Chief Zhu was at a loss for words. Why did a lunatic have to show up at the critical moment?
"Are you crazy, you old fossil? Fine — I'll grab it myself!" Gao Xiaofu stopped bothering with Chief Zhu, plucked a grass snake straight out of his basket, and turned to leave!
Chief Zhu could have stopped him — in fact, it would have been effortless given his Earth-tier cultivation. But the critical issue was that Wei Zhao was right nearby. If Chief Zhu revealed his true strength and Wei Zhao caught wind of it, all their future plans would go out the window. So he could only watch as Gao Xiaofu walked off with a grass snake, silently cursing his luck. It looked like today's operation was probably a bust.
Gao Xiaofu had studied grass snakes before and had looked up their characteristics. He knew how to hold a grass snake so it wouldn't bite, and he also knew how to provoke one into biting.
But as he ran back, buzzing with excitement, snake in hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. He looked down and saw the grass snake had bitten him!
"Ah—" Gao Xiaofu screamed in agony. He was in excruciating pain, and he simply couldn't understand it — how could the grass snake bite him all of a sudden? He'd even specifically learned how to handle grass snakes from the sellers, but today all that knowledge was useless!
Little did he know Chief Zhu had drugged the grass snakes — they had all gone mad.
Crying out in pain, Gao Xiaofu reflexively hurled the snake away. It shot into the grass on the mountainside and vanished without a trace.
But the bite wound on Gao Xiaofu's arm had swollen to an alarming size, as though he'd been poisoned! Staring at his own arm, he jumped. Weren't grass snakes supposed to be venomless? Even if one bit you, the reaction wouldn't be this severe. Could it be... the snake that bit him was actually venomous?
"Wow, Xiaoliangzi, Gao Xiaofu got bitten by a snake — hurry up and suck the poison out!" Shen Yushu saw Gao Xiaofu hopping around in pain and said excitedly to Zhong Yongliang, "Come on, show us how you'd treat it!"
"Huh?" Zhong Yongliang was stunned. He'd never imagined that Gao Xiaofu would go out to buy a grass snake and get bitten by one instead — and it might not even be a grass snake, but a venomous one!
"Zhong Yongliang, go take a look — what should we do? Aren't you a professional when it comes to snake venom?" The other classmates recalled what Gao Xiaofu had said back when they set out, and urged Zhong Yongliang.
"Yeah, Zhong Yongliang, look — Gao Xiaofu seems to be in a lot of pain! Hurry up and help him suck out the venom. Out of all of us, you're the only one who knows how!" another classmate said anxiously.
