Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: RED VENOM SNAKE
Dawn could smell there was something not right and the way Pyro scrunched his nose, she knew that her instinct was right. Something had happened.

“We need to go now, Dawn.” Pyro grabbed her hand, but Dawn swatted his hand and then walked out of the tent.

This was ridiculous to keep her in the dark when she could help them. It would make things easier and faster to deal with the situation, instead of coddling her.

“What is it, Collin? Something happened?” Dawn asked one of the warriors that she knew.

“Oh, luna? You are here?” Collin immediately told her what happened and apparently, they were attacked by poisonous snake.

“Snake?” Dawn furrowed her brows.

“Yes.”

Apparently, not long after Dawn was here, the warriors found snake around the camp area and they were not talking about one or two, but dozens of them, as if they just been buried on the ground and now they decided to come out to the surface.

“Where is Celine?” If Celine was needed here, it meant there was a warrior that had been bitten by the snake, since it was poisonous.

“The healer is with the gamma.”

“Darius?” Dawn’s heart was beating fast.

“Yes, the gamma was bitten…” Collin said.

“Where are they? Show me the way to his tent!” Dawn felt her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Darius was one of a few people that she cherished the most.

“Dawn, we need to go back,” Pyro said, he grabbed her hand to stop her from going. If the snake was poisonous and there were so many of them, this place became even more dangerous for her to stay.

“Don’t you hear him? There is poisonous snake here.” Dawn glared at the royal beta, which made him took a step back because right now the luna was very scary, even Collin was taken aback with her outburst.

People always saw the luna as a kind and quiet woman, but to see her lost it like this was really surprising.

“Do you really think Celine knew poison more than me?” Dawn said in a matter of fact tone. She was a poison expert, she had years of memories, where she used to fight with her poison arts rather than to fight with her beast. “Step back, Pyro. If something happened to Darius I am going to make you pay for that.”

Dawn could see that Pyro was going to use his magic to force her to go back to the palace, but she wouldn’t let him.

And without waiting for Pyro’s reaction, Dawn asked Collin to take her to Darius’s tent. His tent was not so far, but in the distance, she could see the warriors were trying to ward off the snakes that kept coming.

“Let me see him!”

Dawn ignored Zenith’s heated eyes, who disapproved that she was still here, but he didn’t say anything, because his rational side knew if there was someone, who could save Darius, it would be her.

“Tell me what happened with him.” Dawn immediately checked on Darius. He was unconscious, but he had blisters on his skin, the color was so red, as if you popped it, blood would ooze out from it.

Celine immediately gave Dawn a run down of Darius’s condition. It was obvious that he was being bitten by the snake.

“I have tried to heal him, but he didn’t respond to my healing power.” Celine furrowed her brows.

Compared to Aurel, Celine’s healing ability was mediocre, but she didn’t think even Aurel could fix the situation either.

“Look where he had been bitten.” Dawn grabbed a knife and tore Darius’s clothes to look where he had been bitten.

“I think it’s on his back.” One of the warriors there told Dawn. “I saw one of the snakes slithered from his back when he was in his beast form.”

“Get me one of the snakes!” Dawn said as she rolled Darius’s body and saw his back. The warrior was right, there was a bit mark on his hip and the skin around it had turned into purple. “But don’t kill it.”

“I will get the snake!” Two of the warriors left the tent. It wouldn’t be hard to get the snake, but the problem was to get it when it was still alive, since it was very dangerous and they could get bitten, more so, these snakes were very aggressive.

“Alpha, there are more casualties!” One of the warriors reported back to Zenith.

Zenith gritted his teeth and then went out of the tent to make an order. He gathered all the casualties in one place and called for Celine to look for them. He also made Pyro to create a shield around them.

It could ward off the snakes, but some of the snakes that had slithered inside would need to be killed.

While Zenith maintained the order in the camp, one of the warriors returned with the snake that they managed to catch. It was still alive and he put it in a clear jar.

Dawn’s eyes darkened when she saw the snake. She remembered it. Another piece of her memories returned, as if she was seeing her nightmare appeared before her eyes. She felt like someone just squeezed her heart tightly.

“Red Venom snake,” Dawn said. She was very certain of this. She knew this snake because she was the one, who had bred the species and used it against the people from the Holy Kingdom, to fight them off.

In her previous life, the people from the Holy Kingdom joined hand with Zander, while he worked with dragon sect. She still couldn’t remember the detail of it, but that was what it was.

“Shit,” Dawn cursed under her breath. The other person had used her knowledge against her and now, she needed to fight against her own creation.

Think… think…

Dawn closed her eyes, trying to recall whatever memories she had about the red venom snake and the antidote of it.
