Chapter 264: Chapter 260: Beat for Half an Hour
Listening to the familiar cursing coming from beneath the half-severed snake head, Fang Xiaocao, Tom, and Hummingbird looked at each other, all revealing bizarre expressions.
This was clearly not a Giant Serpent that was just fine!
It was definitely the indestructible Xiaoqiang causing mischief.
“Tom, save Taotie,”
Fang Xiaocao demanded with a steadfast face.
“Yes!”
Tom nodded and assented.
“Then give it a good beating!”
Fang Xiaocao added with a fierce expression.
Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Tom paused in his step.
He turned his head to look at Fang Xiaocao and gave a slight smile.
“Of course!”
“As you wish, my dear Princess Your Highness!”
Tom replied cheerfully.
Obviously, among the three present, Fang Xiaocao was not the only one who wanted to beat up Taotie.
To the side, Hummingbird was also limbering up.
Fang Xiaocao glanced at Hummingbird and gave a faint smile.
“Hummingbird, you too!”

Fang Xiaocao said ominously.
“Beat it up for a full half-hour!”
Fang Xiaocao instructed further.
“As you command, my Princess Your Highness!”
Hummingbird grinned widely, happily complying.
Tom and Hummingbird exchanged a knowing look, sharing a tacit smile.
Side by side, the two strode toward the writhing snake head.
Tom grabbed the snake head and gave Hummingbird a cue, who understood immediately and went through a quick warm-up before nodding to Tom.
“Lift!”
Tom bellowed, violently flipping the snake head over.
With a powerful toss from Tom, Taotie, trapped beneath, flexed like a carp, instantly standing up. But before Taotie could even open his mouth to speak, the eager Hummingbird flew up with a kick, landing on Taotie’s face.
“I…”
Taotie had barely spat out a word when a foot flew straight at his face, hitting him squarely on the left cheek. Suffering a heavy blow, Taotie toppled backward onto the ground.
“Dammit, who kicked me?”
The Taotie laying on the ground cursed.
Struggling to get up.
Tom smiled slightly and stomped on Taotie’s chest, pushing him back down to the ground.
“Hummingbird, go at him!”
Tom said with a chuckle, tossing Taotie a shiner.
Hummingbird didn’t hesitate to do the same, adhering to the principle of doubling the joy.
In an instant, Taotie won himself the latest national treasure skin.
Tom and Hummingbird, working in tandem, punched and kicked, beating Taotie until he howled in pain and tumbled across the ground.
This time, Tom and Hummingbird were on royal orders to deliver a beating, and they were determined to relish it.
Fang Xiaocao timed it with a stopwatch.
Having had a fright, she insisted on the full half-hour, not a second less.
To miss by a second would mean the grudge remained unresolved!
Watching the countdown on the stopwatch, only when the half-hour countdown hit zero did Fang Xiaocao finally put away her phone, “That’s enough, stop now!”
Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s command, Tom and Hummingbird each rewarded Taotie with another hefty kick before finally, contentedly, pulling him off the ground.
Fang Xiaocao looked on with satisfaction at the puffy and bruised Taotie, nodding in approval, “A rather unique look, I like it.”
Tom and Hummingbird couldn’t help but snicker, while Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao with a face full of wronged innocence.
“Princess Your Highness~”
“You don’t love me anymore~”
Taotie said in a pitiful tone.
“Never did, thanks!”
Fang Xiaocao said with a chuckle.
“Whine~”
“No love anymore~”
Taotie looked as aggrieved as a little Shih Tzu.
Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly and ignored Taotie.
“Tom, take a look at the treasure map and figure out where we should go next.”
Fang Xiaocao turned to Tom with a smile and asked.
Tom pulled out his device, checked the treasure map he had previously entered, looked around for comparison, and after going back and forth for a full fifteen minutes, finally put away the device.
“Princess Your Highness, let’s go this way!”
Tom pointed to a cave and replied.
“OK!”
“Lead the way!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded and gestured for Tom to proceed.
Tom nodded, kicked Taotie, who was still playing dead, “Get up, stop playing dead, and lead the way.”
Taotie glared at Tom, puffing up in anger, grudgingly got up from the ground, picked up his gun with reluctance, and headed towards the cave Tom had pointed to.
His Mountain Splitter Dagger got bent by an explosion.
It was useless now, so he had to use the gun instead.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao pulled out her Dagger, “Taotie, this is for you!”
Fang Xiaocao called out and tossed the Dagger over, Taotie heard her and turned his head just in time to see the Dagger flying towards him, got startled, dodged the Dagger, and reached out to grab the handle.
“Thanks for the Dagger, Princess Your Highness!”
Taotie said with a playful grin.
Fang Xiaocao gave Taotie a blank look, “Scram!”
Taotie chuckled, “Hehe,” holding the Dagger and scampered towards the cave.
Fang Xiaocao knew Taotie’s character well, he preferred close combat with a knife over using a gun, and she herself was not good at close combat, so keeping the Dagger was of little use to her, it was better to give it to Taotie.
“Princess Your Highness, let’s go too.”
Tom said with a grin.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, “Let’s go!”
With that, Fang Xiaocao took the lead towards the cave.
Tom signaled to Hummingbird with a look, Hummingbird nodded knowingly and followed closely behind Fang Xiaocao, ensuring her safety.
Tom brought up the rear, erasing traces left by their group and setting traps to prevent anyone from following them and catching them off-guard.
Taotie followed the cave for a mile until he came upon three separate paths and stopped to send a message to the others behind him using the device.
[Taotie: Nearly a mile in, no danger, and no traces of animal activity. I’m faced with three different paths; which one should I take?]
After receiving the message from Taotie, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief. Although she figured it would be safe—if there had been danger, Taotie would have sent a message earlier—she had still been extra cautious. Now, she could stride forward more confidently.
As for which way to go…
Fang Xiaocao indicated she had no idea.
Finding the way was Tom’s responsibility, not hers.
[Tom: Take the path on the right. The treasure map marks something along that route, but it is the only passage leading to the Treasure Site. Be careful on your own.]
Tom quickly sent back a response.
[Taotie: Understood!]
After reading Tom’s text message, Taotie sent a reply, put away the device, and with a gun in one hand and the Dagger in the other, walked towards the rightmost path.
Taotie was extremely cautious on the way.
Recalling that Giant Serpent that had tormented him to the brink of death, Taotie was still terrified.
He couldn’t be careless anymore.
If another serpent of the same kind were to emerge from this cave, Taotie would go insane.
After walking five hundred meters along the rightmost cave, Taotie’s expression changed, and he crouched down, his bright eyes fixed on the path ahead.
