84: Detoxification is blood, not an antidote.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that there would be corpses and snakes inside these bronze pillars.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!
Seeing people appear, these snakes flicked their tongues and slithered toward the direction they were fleeing, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Cai Xukun saw the snakes coming, hurriedly stood up from the chair, and without hesitation, followed Zhang Dada and the others as they ran.
"What is going on? Why did so many snakes suddenly appear?"
Cai Xukun could not understand it at all; everything had been fine before, but as soon as they arrived, things went wrong.
"You triggered the mechanism."
Ye Bai's voice came from right behind them.
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously thought of that chair; Cai Xukun had touched the armrest of that chair earlier.
It was from that moment that the bronze pillar began to crack.
Thinking of this, Hua Chenyu was furious and turned to look at Cai Xukun beside him.
"Cai Xukun, look at the good deed you've done."
Hua Chenyu wished he could slap him a few times.
He was a singer with a bright future; he was not willing to die here.
Zhang Dada and Huang Zitao also looked at Cai Xukun with unkind expressions, but this rage lasted less than three minutes before being replaced by terror.
Inside this cave, there was another entrance to a Passage, but the snakes were very cunning and blocked their path first.
Yang Chaoyue and Yang Mi, who had rushed to the front, were unlucky; it was too late to stop.
The snakes suddenly lunged forward and bit the ankles of the two women.
"Ah..."
"It hurts so much."
Yang Chaoyue screamed subconsciously, instinctively reaching out to grab the snake and throw it away.
The next moment, two bloodied holes appeared on her ankle.
"Sister Mi!"
"Chaoyue!"
Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, and Reba hurriedly rushed to their sides, only to see that both of them were pale, their lips drained of color.
This complexion was exactly the same as when Reba was poisoned earlier.
"Back away!"
Wu Jing took realgar powder from his body and sprinkled it directly on the ground, forming a large circle that enclosed them all.
Sensing the smell of the realgar powder, these snakes stopped in their tracks, surrounding these people tightly, as if waiting for an opportunity.
Feeling the snakes still staring at them menacingly, Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun huddled together in fear.
"Brother Jing, if you had this thing, you should have taken it out sooner."
Zhang Dada looked at him with some blame.
Wu Jing's face sank upon hearing this.
"This thing shouldn't have been needed. Who would have thought that someone would trigger the mechanism and release these snakes?"
Wu Jing found these young idols annoying now. Fortunately, he knew he was going to the forest, so he had specially prepared realgar powder to prevent wild poisonous insects and snakes.
He didn't expect it to actually come in handy now.
However, it could only hold for a while longer.
Seeing that Wu Jing was unhappy, Cai Xukun just touched his nose sheepishly, and feeling the unkind gazes of everyone including Zhang Dada, he still gritted his teeth and said,
"How would I know that the chair was problematic? I can only say that this High Priest is too sinister; it has nothing to do with me."
Cai Xukun was still making excuses.
"Nothing to do with you? Sister Mi and Chaoyue are like this now because of you."
Bai Lu saw Yang Mi and Yang Chaoyue lying on the ground, their faces as pale as paper, and there were even signs of their whole bodies twitching.
Now hearing Cai Xukun still shirking responsibility there, she felt even more angry.
"Forget it, Bai Lu. Some people are just like this; they always think they are superior, but in reality, they only cause trouble and shirk responsibility when things happen."
Meng Ziyi was making pointed remarks, her gaze fixed on Cai Xukun.
Cai Xukun felt no shame at all; instead, he thought these people were sick.
He was innocent in this matter, too; he did not know such things would happen.
"How would I know this would happen? I didn't do it on purpose. Why are you all blaming me here?"
Cai Xukun was still arguing stubbornly.
【Damn it! If anything happens to my Da Mimi, I'm not done with you.】
【What now? Will the antidote work? This should still be useful; Reba was saved before, I believe they can be too.】
【Yes, yes, yes! Yang Mi still has the antidote on her. My little Chaoyue, please don't let anything happen!!】
【It's all Cai Xukun's fault. Why did he have to mess with that chair? It was that chair that caused the problem.】
【Don't blame my Kun Kun for everything. Who could have known this would happen? You can't blame him.】
【Bah! If not him, who to blame? Knowing it was dangerous here, he still messed with those things. If anything happens to my little Chaoyue, I will definitely find you all to settle this!】
The fans of Yang Mi and Yang Chaoyue were actively defending their idols. Seeing their idols poisoned, they were extremely anxious.
Inside the Tomb.
"Quick, quick, quick!! The antidote!!"
Reba seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly looking at Wu Jing, and taking down the backpack behind Yang Mi.
Wu Jing finally remembered that Yang Mi still had the antidote on her.
"It's useless."
Just as Wu Jing took the antidote from Reba's hand, Ye Bai, who was on the side, spoke first.
"Why?"
Wu Jing's movements stiffened, and he looked at Ye Bai abruptly.
"These snakes were raised with evil arts. Your antidote is ineffective."
Ye Bai explained calmly.
"Ah? Then what should we do?"
Bai Lu was a little nervous and hurriedly looked at Ye Bai.
"Ye Bai, you have a way, right? Please, save Sister Mi!"
Reba looked at Ye Bai with teary eyes, her hands gripping his clothes tightly.
"Ye Bai, you have a way to save them."
Meng Ziyi also persuaded from the side, her gaze full of pleading.
Ye Bai did not respond, but drew out his black gold ancient blade and sliced his finger.
Every time Zhang Qilin got hurt, it was mostly from bleeding.
Bleeding was one thing, but the key was that it really hurt!!
Ye Bai complained in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
When he dripped his blood into the mouths of Yang Mi and Yang Chaoyue, their complexions visibly returned to a rosy color, and their previously white lips began to turn red.
Seeing Ye Bai's actions and the changes in Yang Mi and the others, everyone opened their eyes wide.
Boom!
A rumbling sound went off in their brains.
Ye Bai's blood had detoxifying properties; the toxin in Reba before was also because of Ye Bai's blood, not because of the antidote...
And it certainly wasn't because Ye Bai had picked up a bargain...
Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and the other two looked at each other, feeling that it was all surreal.
Wu Jing, Reba, and Bai Lu were equally shocked.
Although they had said they believed Ye Bai's blood could detoxify, in their hearts, they still felt it was the effect of the antidote.
But now...
They had been slapped in the face!!
