Chapter 429 On the Verge of Death

Shuo Ling tied the rope around his waist. Mo Li saw it and said quickly, "Your Lordship, let me do this. It is too dangerous." "No." Shuo Ling didn't raise his head. He tied the rope around his waist and exerted his strength to pull it. Mo Li knew it was useless to say more as long as Marquis had made the decision. After Shuo Ling tied it well, he sent the other end of the rope to Mo Li, "Pull it tightly." Mo Li nodded and took the rope. Pei Moning also walked forward to pull it at the back and nodded to Shuo Ling. Shuo Ling jumped down from the cliff. However, there was still some distance from the Saussurea. Shuo Ling pulled the rope, stepped on the cliff, and walked towards the Saussurea cautiously. At this time, Yang Zijin looked up several times but didn't see the figure of Shuo Ling or Mo Li. She also didn't see her Big Brother Pei Moning or Uncle Liu, so she felt strange. Then she asked Jiang Wei on one side, "Where are they? Where are they going?" "Madam, I don't know." Hearing what Yang Zijin asked her, Jiang Wei thought what Mo Li told her and shook her head. Hearing it, Yang Zijin frowned and asked Jiang Wei with suspicion, "Really?" "Yes. Maybe they go to the lavatory." Seen by Yang Zijin in this way, Jiang Wei said with evasive eyes. Hearing what Jiang Wei said, Yang Zijin was sure that Jiang Wei kept something from her because Jiang Wei's reason wasn't reasonable. Yang Zijin's face dropped and she asked, "Jiang Wei, I could forgive you that you went to see Marquis secretly last time. When you came back, I also didn't blame you even if you kept it from me. If something serious happens, tell me. Remember I'm your master." "Madam, well…" Hearing what Yang Zijin said, Jiang Wei was in a dilemma. However, Jiang Wei finally told her everything. Hearing it, Yang Zijin frowned and asked Jiang Wei, "Which direction did they go to?" "There…" Jiang Wei said and pointed at where Shuo Ling and others left. Before Jiang Wei finished, Yang Zijin walked to where Jiang Wei pointed at. Seeing this, Jiang Wei hurried to follow her, "Madam…" After a few steps, Yang Zijin stopped, turned back, and walked to Runyu directly. Yang Zijin knew that Saussurea always grew on the cliffs. If it was easy to pick the Saussurea, Shuo Ling wouldn't ask others to pick it up with him. Just in case, she asked Runyu to go with her. Since Runyu had good flying skills, if something special happened, he could give a hand... Thinking of it, Yang Zijin didn't dare to think more and walked to the front of Runyu. Seeing Yang Zijin come here, Yan Wanchu smiled and said to Yang Zijin, "Qingcheng, is there anything?" "Yes. Can I talk with you alone, Ghost Immortal?" Yang Zijin nodded, looked at Runyu, and asked. Hearing it, Runyu glanced at Yan Wanchu and walked to one side. Yang Zijin explained the situation to Runyu. Runyu agreed and followed Yang Zijin. Jiang Wei had a look and also followed them. At this time, Shuo Ling had moved slowly to the Saussurea. Just a little distance from it, Shuo Ling loosed one hand and stepped on the cliff. When the rope stopped moving, Shuo Ling held out his hand to be close to the Saussurea. The time Shuo Ling was about to touch the Saussurea, Uncle Liu, who was looking down, suddenly shouted, "Take care. There is a viper!" Meanwhile, Shuo Ling's hand had touched the Saussurea when Uncle Liu finished. The white snake surrounding the Saussurea flicked out its tongue and suddenly went to bite Shuo Ling's arm. Shuo Ling felt painful and the Saussurea picked by him fell from his hand surprisingly. Seeing this, Shuo Ling hurried to release his hand which caught the rope and fell down. Pei Moning and Mo Li were unprepared for the sudden fall. Without gravity, the rope in their hands fell at the same time. Luckily, the rope stopped with the help of Uncle Liu when the whole of it was about to fall down. Shuo Ling didn't care that he had narrowly died but smiled because he caught the Saussurea. Mo Li shouted above him, "Are you OK, Your Lordship?" "I'm OK. Pull me up." Hearing it, Shuo Ling looked up and said. His hands had been out of the rope, so it was difficult to pull it. And the rope shook more heavily than before. Pei Moning pulled the rope and shouted, "Marquis Shuo, try to control the rope. Don't let it move back and forth." Hearing it, Shuo Ling began to try to use his hand to catch the rope. One hand of Shuo Ling was hurt and the other hand took the Saussurea. To protect the Saussurea, Shuo Ling had to hold the Saussurea with the hand bit by the snake. The wound bit by the snake began to turn black and his whole arm was numb. The snake was highly poisonous. Shuo Ling absorbed the black blood several times, spat it out, and felt better. Then he tried to catch the rope again and made it. Pei Moning and Mo Li exerted their full strength to pull Shuo Ling up. When they nearly pulled him up, Uncle Liu hurried to run there, faced down, and helped pull Shuo Ling up. After Shuo Ling climbed up, he directly lay down. His mouth absorbing the snake venom before began to turn black. Mo Li threw away the rope and said, "Are you OK, Your Lordship? Your Lordship?" "I'm OK. I'm OK… Saussurea…" Shuo Ling said and handed the Saussurea to Uncle Liu. Before he finished, Shuo Ling fainted. Seeing this, Uncle Liu hurried to take his pulse, frowned, and never thought the white snake was so poisonous. Its toxin could paralyze the cerebral nerve. If the poison couldn't be removed in four hours, people would die of it quickly. Uncle Liu tore one piece of cloth from his clothes and tied Shuo Ling’s arm bit by the white snake to slow down the spread of the toxin. Seeing this, Mo Li asked Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, how about His Lordship?" "It isn't optimistic. The snake was quite toxic. The only way is to…" Uncle Liu said and looked at the cliff. Before Uncle Liu finished, Mo Li hurried to ask, "What?" "Eat the snake gall to combat poison with poison!" Uncle Liu continued. Hearing this, Mo Li said without hesitation, "I'll fetch it." "Wait!" When Mo Li finished, the voice of Yang Zijin came from behind. Hearing the sound of Yang Zijin, Mo Li turned to have a look and said, "Madam." "I have heard what you said. Let Ghost Immortal go down." Yang Zijin walked forward and said. Mo Li looked at Runyu on one side and said, "Madam…" "I have decided it. The snake is quite toxic, which must be removed as soon as possible. Ghost Immortal could get it because of his high flying skill." Before Mo Li said, Yang Zijin interrupted him and continued. Hearing what Yang Zijin said, Mo Li nodded and agreed. Yang Zijin looked at Runyu and said, "Thank you." Runyu smiled, walked to the edge of the cliff to look at the general location, and was about to jump down. Yang Zijin hurried to bend down to pick up the rope on the land, walked to the front of Runyu, and handed it to Runyu, "Take it with you. You are not alone." Runyu nodded, took the rope, and tied it around his waist. After he got ready, he jumped down. Jiang Wei also pulled the rope at the back. Runyu used one hand to pull the rope and walked to the small white snake slowly with the other hand holding the sword. The white snake was looking at Runyu and flicking out its tongue. Runyu was about to wield a sword to kill the small white snake. Uncle Liu said, "Be careful. Don't break up the snake gall. If it is broken, its effect would decrease to great extent." Runyu replied and beheaded the white snake. At the same time, the head of the white snake was cut down and it was split into two. Seeing this, Runyu shook the rope and picked up the body of the snake which was still moving. After he got it, Runyu looked up and shouted, "I got it." Hearing what Runyu said, they began to pull Runyu up with full strength. After Runyu climbed up, Uncle Liu hurried to fetch the snake, squeezed its critical part, and took out the snake gall. Then he walked to the front of Shuo Ling. Hugging Shuo Ling, Yang Zijin found Shuo Ling's body began to become cold. Yang Zijin hugged Shuo Ling tightly with tear stains on her face. Uncle Liu walked forward, squatted down, and said, "Zijin, get up. Let him eat the snake gall." "Yes." Yang Zijin replied, used her sleeve to wipe tears at the corner of her eyes, and stood up with the help of Jiang Wei. Uncle Liu opened Shuo Ling's mouth and put the snake gall into it. Then Uncle Liu raised Shuo Ling's head and helped massage his chest. After a while, the snake gall was eaten. Uncle Liu looked at Yang Zijin and said, "Ask someone to prepare some cotton-padded clothes in case he feels cold later." "Madam, I’ll fetch it." Hearing it, Jiang Wei said. Yang Zijin nodded. "Uncle Liu, is it OK?" Yang Zijin felt worried and asked Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. The snake venom spreads too fast." Hearing this, Yang Zijin felt worried, squatted down, and hugged Shuo Ling tightly again. Seeing his black lips, Yang Zijin felt sad and a drop of tear fell on Shuo Ling's face. Shuo Ling's face moved and he opened his eyes slightly. Seeing crying Yang Zijin, he smiled and was about to wipe tears for Yang Zijin, but he found that his hand couldn't lift. Shuo Ling said in a low voice, "Don't cry. It's not beautiful."
