The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack: The Evil King's Doctor Consort's Ent

Chapter 35 The Enchantress

The two men arrived late and did a cursory check. The women's injuries weren't serious; they didn't even look like they had any scars. They were just in so much pain that they couldn't stand up.

For a moment, they felt that these people were all just putting on an act.

One of them, his face contorted with anger, kicked the fat woman, saying, "Get up! What are you yelling about? You can't even do a simple task properly."

The fat woman, her face pale, got up from the ground, clutching her armpit.

"My lord...my lord, please stop hitting him!"

"So many of you, and you can't even handle a weak woman? It's a waste of your resources."

The people around who were screaming in pain just moments ago were no longer in pain.

After they all got up from the ground, they heard what the fat woman and the two soldiers were saying and immediately understood.

The fat woman was clearly using them as pawns.

"Go and bring that woman out; we have questions for her."

After all, Lei Tian and the other four had not returned yet, which made the two of them somewhat uneasy.

Many people looked pale when they thought about the pain they had just experienced.

The fat woman was afraid of Gu Lingzhi. She didn't even see what the other woman did before she was beaten so badly that it felt like her bones were about to break.

"Sir, this..."

"Go quickly!"

"Yes Yes!"

The fat woman scrambled into the military tent, only to find Gu Lingzhi still lying obediently on the bed.

"The general is calling you! You must... you must get out now!"

She dared not approach, keeping a safe distance from Gu Lingzhi.

She always felt that Gu Lingzhi had a sinister aura about her.

Gu Lingzhi was exhausted after a long night and didn't want to move at all.

Suddenly, the fat woman saw a snake crawl out of Gu Lingzhi's sleeve.

The snake was small, entirely green, with a pointed head and a pair of round eyes that held the ruthlessness typical of cold-blooded animals.

The fat woman immediately screamed and rushed out of the military tent.

"There's a snake, there's a snake!"

Hearing her scream, the two men couldn't stand still and immediately lifted the tent flap and went inside. As soon as they reached the door, one of them felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

A green figure vanished in a flash, and before anyone could react, the bitten person turned pale and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

"Go to the doctor quickly!"

The soldier standing nearby shouted loudly, and some of the women behind him who were still in a daze realized what was happening and hurriedly went to find someone.

Gu Lingzhi was finally awakened by the screams. She sat up, her face very unpleasant.

Everyone watched in disbelief as the small, emerald-green snake, which had run far away, actually crawled back to Gu Lingzhi's side and slipped back into her sleeve.

Everyone's face turned pale.

The way he looked at Gu Lingzhi was like that of a monster.

Gu Lingzhi stretched out her snow-white fingers, pinched the arm-length snake, and pulled it out of her sleeve.

"You've been doing something bad in secret, haven't you? You're so disobedient."

She murmured softly, but there was no hint of blame in her eyes.

Turning his head to the side, the people standing at the entrance of the military tent all took a step back in unison, falling into complete silence, their faces filled with fear.

Gu Lingzhi was surprised: "Is there anything else?"

Another guard swallowed hard, glanced at his companion lying beside him, whose life was uncertain, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Snake...there's a snake!"

The remaining women wished they could run out of the military tent at once.

When Gu Lingzhi saw the little green snake in her hand, she was immediately intimidated by the people, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Gently stroking the little green snake's somewhat cold skin with her fingertips, the snake flicked its tongue but showed no intention of attacking Gu Lingzhi.

The reason was that she had been imbued with the scent of snake heart grass, and the little green snake completely mistook her for one of its own kind.

An old doctor from the army pushed through the crowd and walked in, looking down at the guard who had been bitten by a snake.

After examining the injuries, the old doctor's expression suddenly changed: "The snake venom is too potent; it has already damaged the lungs and internal organs..."

The other guard's pupils suddenly contracted, and he pointed at the small green snake in Gu Lingzhi's hand, asking, "Doctor, what kind of snake is that?"

The doctor looked over as he was directed and saw the small green snake in Gu Lingzhi's hand. He turned pale with fright and took a step back.

"I can't cure this man, I'm leaving now!"

He ran extremely fast carrying the medicine box. The guard was furious and looked down at his accomplice, whose lips were black with grease. He was extremely anxious.

Gu Lingzhi sat calmly in her seat.

She lowered her eyes, as if the noise around her couldn't disturb her in the slightest.

The man had no choice but to pick up the person on the ground and leave with an angry but helpless expression, while Gu Lingzhi never glanced at him once.

As for rescuing people?

Sorry, she's petty and narrow-minded; she'll never show mercy to anyone who tries to hurt her.

If the other party hadn't barged in without permission and intended to harm her, she wouldn't have lost her life.

The people in charge have run away, leaving behind only the elderly, weak, women and children who are incapable of fighting.

The once arrogant fat woman was now as frightened as a blade of grass in the wind, not daring to utter a single word.

The military tent fell silent instantly.

Gu Lingzhi was relieved and finally got some rest.

Unfortunately, she had only been asleep for a short while when a lot of noisy footsteps came from outside the military tent. Gu Lingzhi opened her eyes groggily and saw that many soldiers had gathered around, holding torches in their hands.

Even though it was broad daylight, the torches formed a circle around the general's tent.

Gu Lingzhi was awakened by the noise and pushed open the curtain of the military tent to walk out. The leader's eyes were bloodshot and full of anger: "This woman is a witch, and she's hiding poisonous snakes on her body!"

"Burn her to death!"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, but after a quick glance around, she understood what had happened. It seemed that the person had sensed the danger of the small snake in her hand and intended to eliminate it completely.

"Who gave you permission to do this?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her head and looked directly at the man in the lead. He was the same man who had been with the one who had been poisoned earlier.

She had no grudge against the other party, yet she was repeatedly targeted, which meant they were definitely part of the same group that appeared in the woods last night.

"Tell me, were Lei Tian and the others killed because of you? They went into the woods last night and haven't returned yet, but you're the only one who came back. How do you explain that?"

"Killing soldiers is punishable by death!"

"Burn that witch to death!"

One person started a commotion, and the rest of the large group all joined in.

Gu Lingzhi's eyes shone slightly. She was used to being surrounded by such questions and didn't panic at all.

"With so many of you against a mere woman like me, do you have any shame?"

A faint sneer appeared on Gu Lingzhi's lips, but her eyes were icy cold. All she wanted was to stay in one place peacefully, but she didn't expect that even such a simple request couldn't be fulfilled.

"You've killed five or six people. What kind of vicious woman are you?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her head, her eyes fixed on the person questioning her: "You keep saying I killed someone, where's the evidence?"

"Evidence? You raised snakes and poisoned my brother. Everyone saw it. What else is there to say? Attack her together and burn this witch to death!"

Those people were holding torches, clearly afraid that the snake on her body would suddenly jump out and bite someone.

These people came prepared, knowing that the little snake in Gu Lingzhi's arms was afraid of fire, so they all carried torches.

Gu Lingzhi felt the restlessness of the little snake in her sleeve and frowned slightly.

These people really know the Green Snake very well, but they don't know that the Green Snake is not afraid of fire, but rather that flames will arouse its ferocity and make it irritable and harmful to people.

Suddenly, someone threw a torch onto the tent.

The tent behind them was already old, and with the dryness of late autumn, a flame suddenly flared up and spread rapidly outwards.

The fire raged like an uncontrollable beast, engulfing the entire tent.

Gu Lingzhi had nowhere to retreat and had no choice but to avoid the flying sparks, but there were so many people guarding the front, and some even threw torches at her.

Surrounded by flames, Gu Lingzhi could only see pairs of indifferent eyes all around her.

She stood amidst the flames, a cold smile playing on her lips.

The green snake darted out from the sleeve in an instant, its screams becoming melodious in the blink of an eye.

The air was thick with acrid smoke. Ashes from the flames clung to Gu Lingzhi's cheeks. Her eyes were downcast, and she suddenly kicked the torches piled in front of her away.

The soldiers surrounding her took a step back in an instant, creating a gap. Gu Lingzhi slipped through the gap and ran away before the soldiers could react. She hadn't run far when she suddenly heard the sound of arrows whistling through the air behind her.

whoosh...

Gu Lingzhi suddenly turned around, and a long arrow flew straight towards her face. She immediately rolled away to avoid it, leaving her clothes looking rather disheveled.

"Chase!"

Dozens of people chased after them frantically.

But in no time, several of them collapsed.

"Snake! Kill the snake!"

Shouting, chaos, and shoving among the crowd completely lacked the ferocity of a chase.

Gu Lingzhi was about to get up from the ground when she heard the people behind her stop walking.

Then, she touched a pair of long legs.

The silver-white armor reflected colorful rays of sunlight.

Gu Lingzhi barely managed to prop herself up by grabbing the other person's pants, and then she saw that incomparably handsome and very familiar face.

She quickly let go of his hand and took two steps back.

"Your Majesty!"

Dozens of people shouted and immediately lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.

The leader had cold sweat on his forehead, his lips were taut, and his eyes were filled with insecurity and fear.

After all, Mo Jiuxiao rarely came to the rear camp, and some of them had never even seen him before.

But who would have thought that Mo Jiuxiao, who never comes here, would suddenly appear here today?

"what happened?"

The leader quickly spoke up: "Last night, several people left the military tent together and went to the back mountain, but this morning only that woman returned. She was carrying a highly venomous snake, so she might be a demon!"

"snake?"

Mo Jiuxiao subconsciously looked at Gu Lingzhi, who had already straightened her clothes, but it didn't change her appearance much.

However, the little green snake that caused such chaos and injured countless people has long since disappeared.

Because the military tent was set up alone, the fire was almost extinguished, with only thick smoke rising into the sky.

As the smoke cleared, several people with bruised and purple faces lay on the ground.

A slight look of surprise flashed across Mo Jiuxiao's eyes.

However, his surprise vanished in an instant. He strode up to Gu Lingzhi and grabbed her wrist.
