Chapter 149: King Cobra Snake Eggs

Xu Yao was stunned as well.

Jiang Se, wearing a facial mask, walked over.

Stretching out her neck and leaning forward, she asked, "Can we eat that?"

Jiang Ciyou chuckled. "These are not just snake eggs; they are king cobra eggs."

[Why is Best Actress Jiang such a foodie? She only cares if they are edible.]
[King cobra! Normally, if you get bitten, you get two bumps—one on your body, and one on the mountain.]
[I remember this kind of snake is extremely protective of its offspring and can track scent for thirty kilometers. Xu Yao is done for.]

Wei Tingfang asked curiously, "What is a king cobra?"

Jiang Ciyou sighed. "An ophiophagus hannah."

This frightened Xu Yao out of her wits.

Her hand trembled in panic.

The snake eggs on the banana leaf all fell to the ground, landing right on Xu Yao's shoes.

Xu Yao stamped her feet in terror.

She ended up crushing those snake eggs into a messy pulp.

Jiang Ciyou frowned. "Xu Yao, what are you doing?"

Xu Yao had already retreated several steps backward.

She hugged her arms, wearing an expression of utter disgust.

Jiang Ciyou said, "You were supposed to return these snake eggs, otherwise the mother snake will track you down by your scent. Now that you've crushed them, are you hoping a snake will stand by your bedside and watch you tonight?"

Xu Yao turned pale with fright.

Almost as a reflex, she blurted out, "Teacher Jiang, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you trying to get me killed?"

Jiang Ciyou wore a speechless expression.

[Is Xu Yao sick in the head? Sister You was clearly saving her life, yet she accuses her of trying to harm her.]
[Our Yaoyao was just flustered. Besides, since the snake is so powerful and the eggs couldn't be destroyed, she should have taken them over earlier. Our Yaoyao's reaction was completely normal.]
[Actually, it's not that serious. I've seen eggs like this a lot. I used to boil and eat them when I found them. Later, someone told me they were king cobra eggs and would trace my scent to find me, telling me to go to Xinjiang to hide. Haha, like I'd be scared?
IP Address: Xinjiang]
[King cobra, an extremely venomous snake. Being bitten means nine deaths and one life. I have inherited true martial arts medical skills from my ancestors and know how to gather herbal medicine for treatment. I have already treated a dozen people bitten by king cobras, and so far, I have zero negative reviews and zero survivors.]
[Ah, what should our Yaoyao do then? Production team, our Yaoyao is quitting the show!]

On the other side, Xu Yao was also scared half to death.

She seemed to suddenly snap back to reality.

"Teacher Jiang, what should we do now? You must have a way, right?"

Jiang Ciyou's expression remained calm, her tone flat.

"First, find a distant place to bury these eggs. Then, go to the beach, wash up thoroughly, and throw away all the clothes and shoes you're wearing."

Xu Yao refused to comply. "You expect me to go handle these eggs? Won't that make the scent on my body even stronger?"

Xu Yao looked at Jiang Ciyou with a spoiled, pouting expression. "Teacher Jiang, you look so professional, please help me out, won't you? I'm scared."

Jiang Ciyou stepped back. "Don't come over here, I'm scared too."

Because of Jiang Ciyou's movement, everyone else nearby also took a step back.

Seeing everyone look at her as if she were carrying a virus, Xu Yao was furious.

Wei Tingfang spoke up, "Xu Yao, clean up your own mess. Don't drag everyone else down with you."

Xu Yao was mad to the point of dying.

Yet she had no other choice.

She could only begin cleaning up the remains on the ground with trembling hands.

However, while burying the eggs, Xu Yao discovered a single, intact little snake egg.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

She carefully wrapped the snake egg in a leaf and took it out.

Jiang Ciyou, don't blame me. I don't want to die. If you have to blame someone, blame your own bad luck.

If a snake really comes looking for someone, it can just come for you.

On the other side.

Since the ingredients they had found were mostly inedible, everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

Jiang Se looked dejected. "What do we do now? I'm starving. I want to eat sea urchin sashimi, Huadiao drunken crab, truffle foie gras, braised shark fin with rice..."

At Jiang Se's words, almost everyone's stomach began to growl.

"Teacher Jiang, tell us what to do~" Jiang Se looked at Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou originally had no intention of standing out.

When she stepped forward earlier, it was truly because it was a matter of life and death.

Yet at this moment, for some reason, a group of people were all staring at her with eager eyes.

Wei Tingfang also spoke up, "Teacher Jiang, you know so much, you must have a way, right?"

Shen Yibai looked at her pleadingly as well, "Sister, I'm so hungry."

Shen Qingqing bit her lip as she looked at Jiang Ciyou, resembling a child waiting to be fed.

Bo Jinsuo and Si Yufeng stood among the crowd, offering no opinions either way.

Somehow, everyone's gazes were focused squarely on Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou had only wanted to be a lazy slacker.

Yet now, facing a group of fellow slackers, if she slacked off too, they would probably starve to death.

Jiang Ciyou spoke up, "Among the mushrooms Teacher Si picked earlier, there are actually a few that are edible. So I'll have to trouble Teacher Si to lead the way so we can pick some more mushrooms. Besides, the most important task right now isn't finding food, but finding fresh water."

Jiang Ciyou continued, "Therefore, I suggest that Teacher Si and I go pick mushrooms, while the rest of you, if you still have the energy, go look for fresh water nearby. Let's split up and act."

Xu Yao had just returned from handling the snake eggs.

Hearing Jiang Ciyou's arrangement, she muttered under her breath, "Teacher Jiang, looks to me like you just want to spend some alone time with Teacher Si."

Jiang Ciyou immediately replied, "Then why don't you go with Teacher Si?"

Xu Yao shut her mouth instantly.

For some reason, Xu Yao simply couldn't stand Jiang Ciyou's attitude—acting as if everyone would perish without her.

Yet she had no alternative now.

Shen Yibai was unsatisfied with the arrangement.

"Sister, I want to go with you too."

"No. If we run into danger, I'll have to protect you."

Shen Yibai knew his sister was referring to the danger they faced in Paris.

Still, he was unwilling to give up. "If there's danger, I'll climb a tree. I promise I won't hold Sister back."

Jiang Ciyou looked up and pointed at a coconut tree not far away. "If you know how to climb trees, go pick coconuts."

There were quite a few coconut trees in the vicinity.

However, they lacked any tools, making it impossible to harvest the coconuts.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to worry about a freshwater source.

Ignoring Shen Yibai, Jiang Ciyou turned to Si Yufeng and said, "Teacher Si, let's set off."

Si Yufeng was still wearing his sunglasses, making his expression unreadable.

Even so, he walked ahead to lead the way.

Shen Yibai did not follow them.

Since his sister told him to pick coconuts, he would go pick coconuts.

He was going to show his sister that he was useful!

Bo Jinsuo watched the departing backs of Jiang Ciyou and Si Yufeng.

Without a word, he lifted his feet and followed after them.

Shen Qingqing looked somewhat surprised.

As she moved to follow them, Wei Tingfang blocked her path.

"Qingqing, may I call you Qingqing?"

Shen Qingqing's gaze remained fixed on Bo Jinsuo.

She merely glanced up at Wei Tingfang and asked, "Teacher Wei, is there something you need?"

"Qingqing, I fell for you the moment I saw you. I just want to understand you better."
