Chapter 3804: 4.1404 Taking the Bait

But once it foolishly climbed up, it would surely be in trouble.

Pah! Does she think I'm stupid?

It would just stay near the tree roots and absolutely not go up. Let's see what she could do about it.

This is really, truly agonizing!

The aroma of those pills and medicines was genuinely unbearable.

The worst part was, it originally wanted to fall asleep quickly and ignore the scent.

Unexpectedly, the medicinal aroma kept drilling into its nose and mouth, making it impossible to resist even when asleep.

It's truly hard to endure!

Endure, endure, must endure!

If this creature knew that the scheming Qiao had lined up over a dozen basin-sized pots of medicinal soup at the entrance of the tunnel, precisely so the aroma would naturally spread and permeate the soil, it would probably go insane...

On the second day, Qiao Mu woke up refreshed after a good sleep and began a new round of alchemy.

That day, Qiao Mu specifically refined poisons. She had collected enough poisonous flowers and herbs anyway.

For an entire day, Qiao Mu was busy with her Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron.

When she finished refining that evening, she suddenly noticed the sixth star on the Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron lit up.

The little girl couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Her Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron had advanced another step.

She could clearly feel a faint fluctuation of the tool spirit's consciousness within the Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron, expressing gratitude to its little master.

Haha, does that mean when all nine stars of the Nine-Star Reflecting Moon are lit, the tool spirit will appear?

The little one thought about her good fortune while stroking her small cauldron.

Her hands didn't stop, continuing to multitask and diligently carry out her poison refining work.

If the previous medicinal fragrance was something this bird-headed snake beast could endure, then the scent of these poisons was truly enough to make the bird-headed beast nearly lose control and go wild.

Argh! So many unique poisonous fragrances mixed together! The bird-headed snake beast in its nest couldn't help but drool.

Ugh... life is too agonizing.

Smelling so many delicious things, but none of them were for it, that human girl must be a devil!

The bird-headed beast bulged its eyes, secretly racking its brain, and secretly resolved that once night fell and the little girl was asleep, it would swim up and devour those poisons.

The little girl had refined so many poisons; once it devoured all of them, its strength would surely increase greatly. Then, even if that human brought helpers, it wouldn't be afraid.

That day, Qiao Mu not only refined hundreds of bottles of poison pills but also produced dozens of pots of poisonous liquid and poisonous powder. She still lined up all the pots and pans in a row at the entrance of the tunnel, then went to rest and sleep.

If you don't take the bait today, I'll let you say my name backward, you bastard!

The little girl felt smug. Leaning against the phoenix tree roots, she turned over and obediently went to sleep, hugging one of the phoenix tree's branches.

I'll definitely kill you today, you creature, the little stoic thought to herself.

Let you gain without effort, let you gnaw on the phoenix tree. The little girl had already decided how to ultimately deal with this bird-headed beast.

It was late in the second half of the night, dead silent.

The bird-headed snake beast, which had been so stimulated by the special aroma of the poison pills and liquids that it couldn't properly fall asleep, finally couldn't hold back and moved.

It scurried upward along the spiraling tunnel.

As it climbed, its small eyes vigilantly glowed green, and it paused periodically, ready to flee downward at any moment.

Hmph, this little human must be sound asleep and unconscious.

Let me release some poison to make her sleep even deeper!
