Chapter 4 — Snake Tail in the Crown Prince's Hand
In the forest, we are used to seeing the strong swallowing the weak. This bear is done with one strike, but if it wants to be a tribute, it must be personally defeated by the Crown Prince. He carefully circled around, raised his bow and shot an arrow. One nose. Two noses. Three shots. Every arrow hits the bear's heart, every shot is fatal. The bear roared, rushed a few feet and then collapsed, motionless. The prince's face was red, his temples were sweaty, he proudly turned to smile at me. "Your Highness is so awesome!" – I shouted, running to try to carry the bear out. But the incident happened immediately. The deer next to him suddenly exploded, blood and flesh splashing all over him. This power is clearly explosive. I immediately turned around to shield myself in front of the Crown Prince's horse. The sticky flesh and blood made me dizzy, my arms and legs gradually paralyzed. "Come here, quickly get on the horse!" - The Crown Prince shouted from behind. Sensing that there were dozens of people surrounding him, fearing that it would be disadvantageous for the Crown Prince, I immediately whistled, the horse jumped up, taking him away. From a distance, I could no longer hear his voice calling "Tieu Han" anymore, so I fell to the ground with peace of mind. 08 When I woke up, I was lying in a mountain cave, the flickering firelight casting shadows on the cliff. The limbs still cannot move. After all, what kind of medicine can make us poisoned and collapse? The snake's tongue stuck out to probe, but there was no human or animal scent around. The Crown Prince does not know what is happening now. Moments later, footsteps were heard outside the cave entrance. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be in a coma. Two middle-aged guys. They approached, one guy said: "I told you to just look a little, the owner told us to guard at the cave entrance." The other guy laughed: "I know, I know. I saw it last night, it really looks beautiful, ha ha..." "Let's go, let's go back out, if the owner blames us, we won't be able to bear it." The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Right now, I can only force the poison out. In the dark, damp cave, I lay for half a day, and finally some feeling returned to my limbs. While planning the route, suddenly a strong fishy smell flooded in, accompanied by a few footsteps. "How's it going?" - It was a young man's voice. "He still hasn't woken up, we just obeyed the order to guard him, and didn't dare to get close." "Huh, waking up is strange, normal people die instantly with this medicine. This type, it takes at least three or four days to wake up. Wait until the palace is sure he's dead, then I'll take him away." - His voice was full of pride. "Watch closely! Don't go out and attract attention, do you understand?" The two guards quickly agreed in unison. The sound of footsteps fades away. Master once said that with such a strong fishy smell, most of the time it is rare for widows to be poisonous. Even a spider can make me fall, which is really unlucky.09 Not knowing how many people were outside the cave, I planned to turn back into a snake's body and sneak out. Unexpectedly, I heard footsteps approaching, so I quickly lay still and pretended to be dead. One of two guards. He muttered: "Master said you can't wake up, let grandpa pity you a little! This appearance is so enviable!" He suddenly rushed forward and squeezed my shoulder. I immediately opened my mouth and bit into his neck. As soon as he let go, he fell to the ground and died on the spot. Let you taste Thu Minh Son's number one poison! I pulled out the knife from his side, spat contemptuously, then strode out to the cave entrance. There were seven or eight people outside, some were dozing, some were sitting and chatting. "It's been dozens of minutes, Mr. Tong hasn't come out yet, has something happened?" – One guy asked. Another guy scoffed: "Maybe I was so happy I forgot the exit!" I felt nauseous when I heard it, so I didn't bother to look back. Suddenly, there was a sound of killing at the foot of the mountain. The guards immediately became alert and formed a formation at the cave entrance. The sound of fighting is getting closer and closer, we can even clearly hear the sound of weapons penetrating flesh. “People are inside
cave, rush!” - It's the Crown Prince's voice! My heart jumped, I grabbed my knife and rushed out the door. The guards were completely surprised to be attacked from behind and were killed instantly. "Tieu Han! Tieu Han!” - The call was getting closer and closer. When the familiar breath surrounded me, I let go of the knife and jumped into the Crown Prince's arms. "Prince, I'm scared to death!" The Crown Prince checked the injuries on my body and gently comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Tieu Han, is there any pain?" I shook my head, clutching his shirt tightly: "Prince, I'm very worried about you."
