Chapter 1668: Are We Really Going to Use Fire Attack?
Looking at the several large porcelain bottles of medicinal powder in front of her, she revealed a satisfied smile.
“How much firewood have we gathered?”
Looking up at Qian Jiyun, her first question was about the firewood, which was critical for their ascent to the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain.
“An Jiuyue, do you really plan to use fire to attack?”
To burn all the poisoned snakes on such a mountain would require an immense amount of firewood, and even then, could it truly burn them all?
Upon hearing his words, An Jiuyue blinked several times and looked up at Zhan Beiye, somewhat dazed.
“Use fire to attack? Are you joking with me?”
“I think it’s a joke too, but so much firewood…”
Zhan Beiye’s words trailed off. With so much firewood, it was hard not to think of a fire attack. Otherwise, what was all the firewood for?
“What’s the wind direction now?”
“Northwest wind.”
Both Qian Jiyun and Wei Na from inside the space answered simultaneously.
“I’ve instructed people to stack the firewood toward the southeast,” Qian Jiyun added.
“Good.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
Then she picked up two large porcelain bottles and handed them to the man in front of her.
“I can only rest assured if you and Brother Beiye handle this task. As for Su Tang and the others, let them continue to gather firewood. We need to keep that fire burning until nightfall. We will need the firewood tonight, and it has to keep burning until tomorrow morning,”
she said.
“Mhm.”
Qian Jiyun took the porcelain bottles into his own hands and nodded before leaving.
“I…”
Zhan Beiye opened his mouth towards An Jiuyue but didn’t know what to ask.
In the end, he could only turn around and follow Qian Jiyun to tend to the task, while Su Tang received instructions to keep overseeing the guards as they gathered firewood, which was truly an infuriating task for them.
“Qian Jiyun, what are you going to do? Are you really going to use fire to attack?”
“I’m going to fetch some demonic beasts.”
Qian Jiyun turned his head, shot him a glance, and instructed in a calm voice before continuing towards the direction of Jade Cloud Mountain.
“Alright, I’ll go get them.”
After hearing his words, Zhan Beiye turned and went to drag the bodies of the demonic beasts. There were many that they had killed earlier, which were now going to be put to use. However, he still didn’t understand what they intended to do with them.
…
It wasn’t long before he understood what the demonic beasts were for.
In front of the two men, a large fire had been lit, and ample medicinal powder had been sprinkled on the firewood within. As the fire started, a sweet scent became noticeable.
Thick white smoke drifted towards Jade Cloud Mountain and quickly enveloped it, creating a scene like a mist that was not quite mist.
“Qian Jiyun, I’ve brought the demonic beasts. Should I throw them now?”
Zhan Beiye said after several trips, having already piled up a significant number of demonic beast corpses.
“Throw a couple up first.”
Qian Jiyun glanced at the smoke above and spoke.
“You got it.”
Zhan Beiye snapped his fingers and casually threw two demonic beast corpses onto Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff.
The next moment, the poisoned snakes crazily slithered out from the caves on the cliff, rushing to bite the two demonic beasts, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The guards who were gathering firewood also looked up towards Jade Cloud Mountain, goosebumps falling to the ground.
Gu Qingyu was resting when she heard the commotion from Jade Cloud Mountain. Turning her head to look, she swallowed hard upon seeing the densely packed poisonous snakes make the mountain look like a twisted confection.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but think, if she angered An Jiuyue again, would that man throw her onto Jade Cloud Mountain too?
