GBP Chapter 689 Poison Lady
Chapter 689 Poison Lady
Considering that he wasn't truly invincible yet... Qin An decided to put on an act. He put his left arm around Jiang Liuli's waist and grabbed the rope behind the grappling hook with his right hand, slowly lowering her down.
Jiang Liuli clung tightly to Qin An's neck.
After a while.
"Puff-puff--"
Two crisp sounds rang out as the ice hit the ground!
Qin An and Jiang Liuli stood steadily on the ground.
Hawkeye found it somewhat novel, because ever since Qin An and Jiang Liuli came down, the eerie wind blowing down from above them had disappeared.
So he asked, "Brother Qin An... did you find anything up there? How come that gust of cold wind disappeared as soon as you came down?"
As soon as these words came out.
The rest of the archaeological team members put down the double-headed object they were holding on their heads, and just as Hawkeye had said, the eerie wind that had been giving them headaches disappeared.
Qin An nodded and said, "There's a female mummy hanging up there."
A female mummy?
Hearing these three words, everyone was somewhat surprised, but Qin An continued, "The identity of that female mummy is very strange... Academician Zhang! Did Chi You have any female generals under his command in ancient times? That female general could also use poisonous insects! And she seemed to be very powerful."
"A female general? Using poisonous insects?"
Zhang Yunfeng's face showed a thoughtful expression. He kept pondering these two words. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he said:
"You're not talking about the Poisonous Woman, are you?"
"Poisonous Lady?" Qin An frowned.
"Yes! It's the Poisonous Lady! Ancient texts record that the Poisonous Lady wore black clothes and was surrounded by all kinds of poisonous insects of all sizes. With just a flick of her finger, those poisonous insects would disappear into the wind and be blown towards the Yellow Emperor's army camp."
Moreover, the Poisonous Woman's venomous insects were no ordinary creature! In just a single breath, they would cause the flesh and bones of those afflicted to rot, after which the victim would go berserk and hack and slash indiscriminately! This caused considerable trouble for the Yellow Emperor's army.
Zhang Yunfeng said with a look of lingering fear.
Just thinking about this scene is terrifying!
Qin An was puzzled when he heard Zhang Yunfeng's description of the Poisonous Woman. This woman was practically a ProMax version of Gu Wuyan!
Even though such a powerful guy couldn't beat those three big men with his fists and feet, he should have been able to escape unharmed using poisonous insects, right?
How could she have been tied up and hanged by those three big men in the blink of an eye?
In the memories of tracing the source of light:
Poisonous Lady once said that she used poisonous insects to stop the Yellow Emperor's left wing army. Could it be that she used up all her poisonous insects at that time?
That's why she had no insects to use when the three men wanted to hang her in Chi You's tomb.
Qin An felt that this was highly likely!
However, he did not know the exact time when Chi You's tomb was built.
After all, there must have been a gap between the Battle of Zhuolu and the construction of Chiyou's tomb by these remnants of Chiyou. During this gap, Poisonous Lady could have taken the time to refine poisonous insects.
But why isn't it there?
Qin An was puzzled.
Just as he was about to ask Gu Wuyan how long it would take to refine a poisonous insect, Jiang Liuli, who was standing next to Qin An, suddenly felt dizzy.
Qin An is quick-eyed and quick-handed!
He quickly reached out and helped her up.
Seeing the pained expression on Jiang Liuli's face, Yang Lele turned pale with fright: "Sister Liuli! What's wrong?"
As soon as these words came out.
The archaeological team members, who were listening to Zhang Yunfeng explain the details of the Battle of Zhuolu, all turned around. When they saw Jiang Liuli, who was pale in Qin An's arms, they were all shocked.
"How is this going?"
Gu Yang looked completely bewildered.
Hawkeye, however, raised his assault rifle and kept aiming around. "Could there be hidden weapons or traps around here? Has Comrade Liuli been hit?"
Hear this.
Everyone became like frightened birds, sensing danger everywhere they looked.
Fortunately, Qin An said calmly, "There are no traps around here."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
"How are you feeling? Do you have a headache?" Qin An asked while scanning Jiang Liuli's physical condition with his Detective Eye.
But Jiang Liuli's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
at the same time.
Jiang Liuli's current status was also displayed on the Eye of Detection panel.
Name: Jiang Liuli (Jiang?)
[Combat power: 300]
【Weakness: Qin An】
[Current Status: Poor (It's normal for the Jiang family members to be in a poor condition as they are within the influence range of the 'shrinking head lice')]
Current Intent: Unknown
[Hint: Perhaps you can try to see things from Jiang Liuli's perspective; all problems will then be solved.]
I saw a long string of text on the dark blue panel.
Qin An's confusion reached its peak!
What does the "(姜?)" next to the name Jiang Liuli mean?
What is the connection between the Jiang family and the cowardly louse?
And this hint... damn it, couldn't you have made it a little clearer? Are you trying to be a riddle solver?
Qin An felt a headache coming on.
Jiang Liuli's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was sweating profusely. Clearly, her physical condition was deteriorating.
If we don't hurry up and resolve this...
Qin An couldn't guarantee that Jiang Liuli wouldn't be in excruciating pain!
"call--"
After taking a deep breath.
Qin An forced his mind to calm down, and then re-examined the string of text on the panel.
Without a doubt, the filthy thing that caused Jiang Liuli to become like this is a filthy thing called the Shrinking Head Lice.
As for the hint... see the world from Jiang Liuli's perspective?
Qin An couldn't figure it out in a short time.
It can't be that Jiang Liuli is lying in his arms right now, looking up at the world from her perspective, and he has to look up to her in order to solve the problem...
As Qin An thought this, he looked up at the sky.
To ensure that the angles are the same.
Qin An followed Jiang Liuli's gaze and looked over there!
After a while.
Qin An was completely dumbfounded!
On the edge of the light purple stone mountain peak, there lay a head that looked like a dried longan! The head's features were dark and hollow.
Qin An recognized it at a glance... This head was the head of the female mummy who had hanged herself on the withered tree on the mountaintop, the head of the Poisonous Woman!
But...didn't I cut that thing's head off myself?
Could it be that it was blown to the edge of the mountaintop by a cold wind?
However, Qin An quickly overturned this conclusion.
Since there was nothing to block the edge of the mountaintop, if that head had been blown over by the wind, it should have fallen off.
Qin An turned around and glanced at Jiang Liuli in his arms again.
After confirming that Jiang Liuli's tightly closed eyes corresponded to the spot he had been looking at earlier, Qin An looked up again and found that the head that had been perched on the edge of the mountaintop had disappeared.
