Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Du Zhong's face was solemn. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Li Dashan, saying, "This is a potent drug I made. It will evaporate when exposed to fire. Hold your breath and throw it into the fire."

Li Dashan nodded cautiously. Although this old man was a little unreliable, the medicine in his hand was still very reliable.

Du Zhong reminded them again with concern: "Wait until I leave you before releasing them." He didn't want to die at the hands of his own people instead of at the hands of these animals.

Seeing Li Dashan nodded again, he followed Sheng Changan and left.

Sheng Changan was a little curious, "Is your medicine so powerful?"

Du Zhong stared and said, "Of course, I only have a few of them. Even a big insect can be charmed."

Aphrodisiacs are just like anesthetics. We still need to build an operating room when the conditions are right. Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows. "Where is the King of Medicine Gallbladder you mentioned?"

Du Zhong muttered, "I thought you had forgotten about this" and deliberately wanted to get rid of that Duke Shen.

Sheng Changan was short, and the forest was covered with grass, so she was mostly focused on the road. Du Zhong was walking behind her and his voice was low, so she didn't hear clearly. "What did you say?"

Du Zhong replied guiltily, "I haven't seen it myself, but I heard it exists here, growing near ancient trees that are thousands of years old."

There are probably the most trees in the forest. It is extremely difficult to find a thousand-year-old tree among so many trees. "How long can Mr. Shen delay?"

"With me here, delaying it for another year or two won't be a problem."

Time is running out, so I have to try my best to find out "Why hasn't Li Dashan caught up yet?"

Sheng Changan stopped and looked back. Even though he had marked the way, it was still easy to get lost if he walked too far. After confirming that there was some distance, he said, "Wait a moment."

The remaining three soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. They were indeed worried about their deputy captain. Furthermore, they were still a little nervous about protecting the adults and Elder Du in the forest.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The soldier who spoke had fear in his eyes and a nervous tone.

Li Dashan was also a little surprised. Logically speaking, the most dangerous place was inside the miasma, so how could such a big thing appear on the periphery?

If it weren't for Mr. Du's medicine, they would probably have died here. Li Dashan looked at the giant python in front of him with a tense expression.

The giant python was about a foot long, yellow with dotted markings, and a slightly bulging belly. Having accidentally inhaled the drug, the snake collapsed to the ground, its head almost as tall as a person.

Li Dashan leaned in closer to take a look.

The remaining two soldiers were startled. They opened their mouths but didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of waking up the giant python. They could only swallow their saliva and watch Li Dashan slowly approach the giant python with anxiety.

Fortunately, Mr. Shen’s medicine was indeed reliable, and the giant python was completely unaware of Li Dashan’s approach.

Li Dashan finished reading and slowly retreated, his tense body relaxing a little. "This place is too close to the outside. If it gets out, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

And there is also the salt lake that the adults want, so this snake must be dealt with.

"Deputy Captain, how about I kill it now?" The soldier's eyes showed murderous intent.

"No," Li Dashan stopped him. "This big snake must be pregnant. I'm afraid there's another one nearby. If I kill it, it's very likely to attract the attention of another one."

"Besides, the adults are still nearby, so we can't do anything now."

The two soldiers were a little anxious, "What should we do?" If it escapes, who knows how many people will die outside. There are many people looking for meat outside now.

Li Dashan turned around and chased after Sheng Changan. "Leave first and escort the adults out. Then find some people to come in and take a look around this area."

After waiting for a long time, he finally saw Li Dashan's figure. After hearing his speculation, Sheng Changan fell silent. The thought of a pregnant python was terrifying. If it walked out of the forest, it would probably be even more troublesome.

"Go out first." Sheng Changan quickly decided that she would only be a drag if she stayed here. She had to go out early and organize people to come in and clean up the periphery.

Moreover, if we wait for this giant python to give birth to snake cubs, it will only be more terrifying. We can't delay any longer. It's a pity that we still haven't found the Medicine King Gallbladder.

Du Zhong looked at Sheng Changan's worried expression and said comfortingly, "This medicine is not that easy to find. Don't worry, I'm here and I will definitely keep the old man alive."

Sheng Changan smiled and said, "Then it all depends on Mr. Du."

Du Zhong nodded complacently.

The journey, which originally took nearly ten days, was shortened by half by Sheng Changan and his group, and they finally arrived at the destination when the sun was about to set on the fifth day.

Sheng Changan walked quickly towards the carriage and said, "Li Dashan, tell the people not to come in or out of here recently. Send someone to guard here temporarily and return to the county immediately after arranging matters."

"Yes," Li Dashan said with a serious expression.
