When Feng Ling thought of this, he gnashed his teeth. It was all because of that damned Nangong Tianlan, who dared to seriously injure the king. The most hateful thing was that the king didn't let him beat that guy.

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. It was really depressing. When had the beasts in Yunhai City ever suffered such humiliation

Qing Lan acted as if he didn't hear Feng Ling's question. He remained motionless and continued with what he was doing. It was Xuan Yi who spoke instead.

"Or do you have a better way? The Prime Minister has great magical powers and is the most powerful person in Yunhai City. There is no other way except to listen to the Prime Minister. So, you should save your energy and save your soul power!" Xuanyi and Fengling are of similar age, one is open and the other is reserved. They don't get along well on weekdays and are usually arguing. However, they have a good relationship. When it comes to big things, no one will be careless.

After hearing Xuan Yi's words, Feng Ling pouted, closed her eyes tightly, and tried her best to output her soul power.

For the sake of the king, he would not hesitate to sacrifice not only a little bit of soul power, but also his lifelong cultivation and even his life. As long as the king is fine!

Emperor Shi Tian and his group were trapped in a maze. Since no one knew how to break the formation, they followed Emperor Shi Tian's orders and rested on the spot.

They had to thank the person who set up the formation. Because of this formation, they had the longest and most peaceful rest in the past ten hours.

The morning light broke, and then the morning sun showed its head. The golden warm sun shone down, like a mother's gentle caress, falling on these soldiers, making them feel extremely comfortable.

The morning sun dispelled the coldness of the night and brought new hope. The soldiers were just like the rising sun, full of heroic spirit.

However, this tranquility did not last long and was broken by a rustling sound.

"Something's happening. Everyone, get up immediately and prepare for battle!" Dugu Yingcheng suddenly opened his eyes and ordered everyone.

At the same time, Bai Tian, who was resting on a branch, also jumped down from it. He held a long sword in his hand and stood guard beside Emperor Shi Tian, with a vigilant look on his face.

The strange sound was getting closer and closer, and then a shrill scream was heard.

"ah!"

Something happened!

At this moment, this sentence appeared in everyone's mind.

At this moment, a scout who was at the front suddenly ran over, sweating profusely, and knelt beside Emperor Shitian, saying with a pale face: "Your Majesty... snakes... so many snakes... so densely packed... and most of them are poisonous. Many soldiers... many have been bitten..."

He stammered when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was frightened by the scene before him.

"What are you panicking about!" With his phoenix eyes raised, Emperor Shitian glanced at them coldly, and pursed his thin lips slightly in displeasure. As an iron-blooded soldier who defends his country, he was so cowardly. It was really a disgrace to Emperor Shitian and the face of Tianze's military soul!

Fortunately, they were not his armored soldiers disguised as scouts, otherwise, he would make them bleed to death on the spot. There were no weaklings under his command, Emperor Shi Tian, and even less such useless cowards, wimps, and trash!

But then again, although these scouts were not members of his armored army, they were also veterans who had been tempered by thousands of battles and were not so useless as to be frightened by a small snake. They were so panic-stricken, it seemed that the battle ahead should not be underestimated!

Emperor Shitian’s body became increasingly colder, was he a poisonous snake

I have heard that there is a powerful snake trainer in Nanling who specializes in training various venomous snakes to sell at high prices and use them to attack opponents. Later, he was recruited by the Nanling royal family as a lover.

It seems that Nanling wants to take this opportunity to avenge the regicide at the defense conference.

Knowing that fighting with swords would not end well, he resorted to such a vicious tactic as the snake attack. How despicable!

It seems that Nanling has spent a lot of money this time. But it is also true that if he provokes Di Shitian, if he is not killed in one go, then Nanling will be the one who suffers.

"Your Majesty, we brought some insect repellents, but the quantity is not enough to resist all the snakes!" After hearing the news, Dugu Yingcheng immediately went to order the medicines they brought.

Emperor Shitian frowned and thought over and over again. Using medicine to resist is absolutely not possible. Not to mention that the amount of medicine is not enough, even if there is enough dosage, this method cannot be used.

Those drugs contain certain toxicity. Although they will not directly harm the human body, they will pollute the land and water sources here. He still remembers the last epidemic in Lizhou. Such a tragedy must not happen again.

But the current situation is urgent, and he must come up with a solution quickly.

What can we do

Snake...snake

"Attack with fire!" Emperor Shitian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

That's right, use fire.

Firstly, this is a forest, which is in line with the geographical advantages; secondly, there is a slight north wind now, which is just conducive to fire attack, which is the right time; thirdly, because of the previous battle, they suffered heavy casualties, and if they use fire attack, they can greatly reduce casualties and preserve strength, which is the right people.

The right time, right place and right people are all in place. To sum up, fire attack is definitely the best strategy!

"Your Majesty, this is a great idea. I will prepare it immediately." After hearing Di Shitian's idea, Dugu Yingcheng was delighted.

I secretly praised him: Great! As expected of the king, he could come up with such a brilliant solution in such an emergency.

Following Emperor Shitian's instructions, everyone immediately began to prepare. They cut down the dry branches and piled them in front of them. Finally, Emperor Shitian disassembled the grenades he brought during the day, poured out the flammable scale powder inside, and sprinkled it on the flammable objects.

Bai Tian was somewhat puzzled by Emperor Shi Tian's actions. The king had seen the power of these grenades with his own eyes. Why did he actually dismantle these few treasures at this critical moment

Wouldn't it be more advantageous to keep these grenades? In case the fire attack fails, you can still use these grenades to fight back.

I don't understand this approach...

However, even if he didn't understand, he would not disturb the king at this critical moment.

Because there is one idea that prevails in his mind, that is - everything the king does has its reasons!

Therefore, all he had to do was to trust the king.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Please give the order!"

Emperor Shitian did not speak, but took out a fire starter from his bosom and blew it. Red flames immediately appeared. Then, he waved his hand and threw the fire starter, which landed right on the unicorn powder. With a whoosh, the flames suddenly appeared. (To be continued)
