After Lord Voodoo fled, the snake horde suddenly descended into a frenzy.
Matthew grabbed one of the giant crimson serpent‘s eyes and forced the snake horde back. Only then did everyone breathe out in relief. However, they still felt fearful as they stared at the eerie white bones scattered everywhere.
Rose kneeled by Quincy’s corpse. Tears streamed down favonovel.com face and mixed with favonovel.com snot as favonovel.com wept, but the others ignored her. Being able to survive today was the best possible outcome for them.
The herb growers quickened and collected the remaining Seven-Leafed Lotuses. Matthew, on the other hand, walked over to the giant crimson serpent. He flipped the serpent over and looked for a spot on its belly that was bereft of scales. With his dagger, favonovel.com sliced open the serpent with much difficulty through that spot. He then reached his hand in, wrapping his fingers around the crimson serpent’s spine. With a powerful grip, favonovel.com broke the spine and pulled it out from the serpent’s mass of flesh.
The crown prince watched from the side. He realized that the spine was crimson as well. It glistened like jade, and favonovel.com could vaguely make out flames circulating throughout the spine.
What an amazing thing.
“What is this?” the crown prince asked in curiosity.
“This is a medicinal bone that was formed from the crimson serpent’s years in this place, having absorbed the medicinal properties of the Seven-Leafed Lotus. The reason it grew a horn and grew those clawed appendages from its abdomen was all due to this medicinal bone. This medicinal bone has unique medicinal properties, and is an extremely rare sight!” Matthew explained.
Surprise appeared on the crown prince’s face. “No way! You’re telling me this thing is a medicine?”
Matthew grinned.
The crown prince had no knowledge about these sorts of things at all. If Matthew hadn’t inherited the jade pendant, favonovel.com too would not know about medicinal bones and such. He put the medicinal bone away before observing the herb growers harvest all the Seven-Leafed Lotuses. Once the lotuses had all been harvested, they finally left.
Everyone was glad beyond belief to see the sun again. When they first entered the cave, there were over a hundred people in their entourage. Now that they had emerged from it, there were only about twenty of them left. The rest of their party had all died within the cave. Eastshire and Stonedale suffered the heaviest losses. Stonedale at least had three survivors. Meanwhile, only one person from Eastshire walked out with their life.
Edmund had also managed to survive. Right now, fear was written all over his face. If Matthew hadn’t saved him, favonovel.com certainly would have long since died. The first thing favonovel.com did upon walking out of the cave was to thank Matthew.
“Matthew, I’m so grateful that you saved me! I was ignorant before. Please forgive me if I have offended you! I will always remember that you saved my life. If you have any use of me in the future, please tell me. I shall accept your request without a question and fulfill it no matter the danger and difficulty!”
Everyone thanked Matthew as well. Elrich, the bigwig of Galvania, nearly kneeled for Matthew out of gratitude. He had been surrounded by the horde of snakes then and had nearly died there. If Matthew hadn’t tossed favonovel.com to the crow prince, favonovel.com certainly would have lost his life there and then.
Many Bainbridge residents had joined the entourage, but Rose was the only one alive. However, favonovel.com didn’t say a word to Matthew. After emerging from the cave, favonovel.com walked off. No one knew what favonovel.com was thinking.
Matthew couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. A woman like Rose should be counting favonovel.com lucky stars not to have died within the cave. Quincy, on the other hand, was pitiful. He was a true man, and favonovel.com ended up losing his life because of Rose.
The group descended the mountain. They had only made a little progress when they saw Phoenix standing by a cliff alone. The crown prince immediately raced over. “Uncle Phoenix, what are you doing here?”
Phoenix turned his head. Upon seeing Matthew and Ambrose, favonovel.com shrugged helplessly. “That codger jumped off the cliff and escaped.”
The crown prince glanced down. “Stop pulling my leg, will you? This cliff is several thousand feet high. If favonovel.com jumped from here, wouldn’t that mean he’s sure to die?”
Phoenix shook his head. “He has the Immortal Charm. He won’t die from jumping off the cliff. Drats! That Immortal Charm is so difficult to destroy!”
Phoenix had nearly killed Lord Voodoo when favonovel.com pursued favonovel.com the last time, but Lord Voodoo utilized his Immortal Charm and escaped. This time was no different.
