Chapter 197 - Stung (1/2)

”Now, how do we get that Dendrobium?” Nico asked, looking at Aiden.

They didn't know how to get down and pick it up, but they couldn't allow the women to come down either.

”I'm the lightest. So I'm going down to get it!” Anya said.

”No!” Aiden's face immediately changed when he heard Anya's words. He would not allow Anya to descend into such a dangerous place.

Aiden wouldn't let Anya do it. Likewise, Nico wouldn't let Tara do anything dangerous. So, only Aiden or Nico could take that Dendrobium.

”Come on.” Aiden said with a deep sigh.

Because Nico's body was smaller, Nico would go down and Aiden would hold the rope to help lift him up.

”Nico, be careful if you go down. First of all, make sure you are safe. Secondly, this Dendrobium is so valuable that you shouldn't completely pluck out the roots. You have to leave the roots so that this flower can grow again later.” Tara said.

”Okay. I'll be careful.” Nico said.

While they were chatting, Anya walked towards the forest and picked up some plants. Aiden never took his eyes off Anya at all, making sure that nothing happened to her.

After that, Anya gave the plants she took to Nico, ”Take this. Who knows you need it.”

”What's this for?” Nico didn't understand but still accepted the plant Anya gave him and put the plant in his pocket.

”This plant brings good luck and can take care of you.” Tara recognized the plant at once, but she didn't dare say that it was used to repel snakes.

What if Nico suddenly backed off and didn't want to come down?

After that, Nico tied the rope around his body. He followed Tara and Anya's advice to pray first. ”Lord, I will take plants for my uncle's healing. Protect me because I want to be devoted to him.”

The prayer made Tara and Anya chuckle. Nico was really innocent like a child who easily believed with all the stories they told him.

When finished, Nico immediately jumped down. Nico actively exercised and loved sports. One of the sports he liked was rock climbing so cliffs like this were like a game to him.

He stopped right where Dendrobium is growing. However, not only her saw Dendrobium but also found a beehive!

”Does anyone want honey?” Nico asked loudly.

Tara was standing on the edge of a cliff and looking down, ”Hurry up and get the Dendrobium. Don't bother the bees. We won't be able to save you if you are surrounded by bees!”

”I can take the honey for you, but I don't think I can take Dendrobium. There's a snake in there.” Nico just dared to look at her without approaching her one bit.

”What kind of snake?” Tara asked.

”Its back is dark brown, on both sides it has round spots. The top of the head is grayish brown with a black stripe from behind the eyes to the corners of the mouth. While the belly is white gray. What kind of snake is this? Is it poisonous? Will I die if bitten?” Nico asked carefully.

Hearing Nico's explanation, Anya immediately answered, ”Do not come close. The snake is very poisonous.”

”Quickly, bring out the plant that Anya gave you. Plants can repel snakes.” Tara said.
