Chapter 174: Poisonous Rain
Outside the carriage was filled with restless sounds, many people scratching, and horses neighing in pain. The trajectory of the car also changed and began to lean to one side. There are signs that the convoy is in trouble.
The sword slave who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light, like two cold stars. He frowned and said, "Oh no, we're in big trouble." ”
"What's the trouble?" Zhao Zheng has also noticed.
"There are so many people scratching and itching outside, and the horses are also abnormal, so everyone is probably poisoned." The sword slave's face sank like water, and he reached out to open the curtain of the door and looked outside.
The situation outside was changing rapidly, getting worse and worse, the carriages were staggering, people were shouting, and many people were yelling and itching. One of the runaway carriages simply crashed headlong into the rocks on the side of the road, and the body of the carriage was fine, but the horses crashed and fell to the ground.
The carriage where Jian Nu and Zhao Zheng were happened to pass by the carriage that had fallen to the ground, and the wheels seemed to be pressing on the horse's head, and the body of the carriage jumped up and fell heavily to the ground. The horse that had fallen to the ground was so badly struck that it must not have survived.
"It's itchy, it's so itchy......"
The driver driving in front of him shouted, clutching the skin on his body frantically with his hands, refusing to stop even if he scratched it. He did his last duty as a coachman, trying to hold back the galloping horse, but the horse did not listen to the command, and continued to run wildly, leading the carriage at a gallop.
The situation is far worse than the two people in the car imagined, and it is going in a worse direction.
"Boy, stay here and don't move. I went out to preside over the big picture. Pull out the enemy. There is no command from me. Don't come out and hang around. The sword slave hurriedly gave the order, grabbed the sword box that was placed beside him, pointed it out of the car window, and slapped it hard. Several swords flew out of it and flew in all directions, forming a sword formation that played a protective role.
The sword slave kicked the car door, grabbed the sword box and flew into the sword array. Despite his impermeable protection, a few drops of rain fell on him through the cracks. He, like everyone else, didn't pay much attention to the rain that was flying in the sky. He dispatched several swords to protect his body, raised his hand and swung vigorously at the speeding carriage, and one of the swords flew out of the way, cutting the rope that pulled the cart.
The horse was pulling the cart hard, and when the rope broke, it lost its balance in an instant, fell to the ground on its back, and rolled several times. The bump was screaming. But compared to these pains, the lingering itch on its body is more terrifying.
The driver of the car was also swept away by the sudden impact. Fortunately, he had kung fu in his body, and when he fell in mid-air, he made a "cloud flip" kung fu, and fell to the ground with a heel fight, without falling to the ground.
The speed of the carriage slowed suddenly, and it was about to collide with the speeding carriage behind it.
The sword slave hurriedly reached out and grabbed the carriage, grabbed the carriage and jumped to the side of the road, and put it heavily on the ground. He stepped on a sword with one foot, made a golden rooster free-standing, and glared at the road in front of and behind him, and found that the convoy was in disarray.
"The whole team obeys! If you can park, stop quickly, and if you can't stop, cut the rope! Someone is poisoning us, and I don't know what kind of poisoning method is used, now those who are inside the carriage should not come out easily, and those who are outside the carriage should not easily enter the carriage! He glared and shouted.
There were thousands of people in the family, and there was only one person in charge, and this shouting played a big role, reminding the panicked coachmen and the people sitting in the car. Everyone heard the sound and moved, and some coachmen gritted their teeth and stopped the carriage on the side of the road with an unbearable itch.
Of the ten carriages, only four came to a stop, and the rest either overturned or ran away. Compared to the carriage, the poisoned ones were even worse, and they scratched and scratched the flesh and skin, and one by one they became a blur of flesh and blood. If this continues, these poisoned people will have to be tortured to death by itching.
They are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and the most important thing is to rescue the enemy at the moment, and there is no time to rescue those who are poisoned. The sword slave scanned the surroundings with electric eyes, using internal force to urge the five senses, catching the wind and grass around him. He listened attentively, and among the thousands of voices, he caught several special sounds.
"Poof, poof, poof......"
Listening to the sound, it was as if someone had bounced something out, and the sound was so faint that it was almost undetectable.
The sword slave felt that there was something strange in this voice, and pricked up his ears, looking for the source of the sound. But before the source could be found, he felt that several places on his body began to itch faintly, and there were signs of poisoning! He secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly used his skills to force the poison before the poison attacked.
Fortunately, this itchy poison is poisoned through the skin, and the toxins stay on the surface of the skin and flesh, making it easier to force out. With a little luck, the sword slave forced out the poison that had just seeped into his skin, and small drops of black water appeared on the surface of his body. He shook it hard, and shook all the poison that had been forced out.
The itching sensation on the sword slave's body quickly disappeared, but not long after, a new itch came from again, which proved that he was poisoned again!
"My good man, this person's ability to poison is also clever, what method did he use to poison me?" The sword slave was shocked in his heart, and he thought about it. He watched as a trace of rain fell on the back of his hand, and not long after, an itch came from the back of his hand, and he suddenly realized in his heart that he had guessed the enemy's poisoning method.
He gasped and shouted, "Be careful, everyone, the enemy is using the poison under the rain!" He flicked the poison into the rain, and the rain fell on us and poisoned us! Let's find a way to shelter from the wind and rain and don't get caught in the rain again! Those who are poisoned, if they have kung fu in their bodies, quickly use internal force to force the poison out, this poison is not difficult to get rid of! There are those in the convoy who can stop the poisonous rain, as well as those masters who are in the shadows, all of them are busy, and work with me to find out the eight lambs who were secretly poisoned! Lao Tzu has to cut him into pieces today! ”
When the people heard the noise, they ran to avoid the rain when they stood under it. The person in the carriage handed out the spare umbrellas and robes in the carriage for the people outside. Some people with high martial arts skills will force out the poison. As for those with low martial arts, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Zhao Zheng was in the carriage. I heard that the poison was spread by rain. I chuckled in my heart, thinking about the safety of several relatives and friends. He looked at the open car window and shouted: "Sister, Zihuan, Brother Song, Brother Ren...... How are you guys? Is there any poisoning? ”
The sound blended into the cacophony of sound outside, but was not answered.
Zhao Zheng was anxious and raised his voice. He shouted twice.
This time I finally got a response, and I heard a person shouting: "Zhao Zheng, is it you?" Come and save my brother, I'm poisoned, and I'm about to itch to death! ”
Zhao Zheng discerned the voice and heard that it was Song Kuaizui's voice. This man had a deep friendship with him, and he was the first person to pass on his martial arts, and he always remembered this kindness, and of course he could not stand idly by. He disobeyed the sword slave's orders and planned to go out to help Song Kuaizui. However, the rain is poisonous, so you can't rush out and find yourself unlucky. You have to take precautions.
He lowered the curtains of the car to isolate the car from the outside world, then opened the system warehouse, took out a plush plush coat worn in winter, and draped it over his body. He then took out the mask, covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. He took out his leather gloves and put them on his hands, covering his body tightly. He didn't think it was enough, so he took out two more plain oil umbrellas, inserted one into the gap between his trouser belts for backup, and jumped out of the car with the other umbrella.
The weather was not beautiful, and the rain outside was a bit heavier than it had just been, which meant that the poison spread more easily.
"Brother Song, where are you?" Zhao Zheng shouted.
"I'm here, come quickly!" Song Kuaizui's voice came from the southwest.
Zhao Zheng identified the direction, pointed his toes on the ground, swept the air, and jumped to Song Kuaizui's side.
At this time, Song Kuaizui was hiding under a big tree, scratching his body hard, and he had already scratched out several blood marks, and large drops of blood came out.
Zhao Zheng was no longer verbose, and immediately started treatment, first reaching out and pointing at the acupoints on Song Kuaizui's body, lest he continue to scratch and scratch the flesh and skin.
Song Kuaizui's body was paralyzed by the acupoint, but his body was still shaking slightly. It can be seen how torturous this itching is, and under this stimulation, even the effect of the acupuncture points is discounted.
Zhao Zheng was worried that the effect of the acupuncture points would not last long, so he hurriedly started treatment, holding an umbrella in one hand and pressing it on Song Kuaizui's chest with the other, conducting his own internal force and helping Song Kuaizui to force poison and heal his injuries. He has not practiced this skill, and he does not dare to blindly advance, and his speed of practice is very steady.
After a long while, some poisonous black water came out of Song Kuaizui's body surface, and the trembling amplitude of his body was also a little smaller.
Although the poison healing worked, the progress was too slow, and the current situation was urgent, how could it be such a waste of time. Zhao Zheng simply took away his hand, took out a small black medicine bottle from the treasure bag, and after pulling off the lid, he poured out a small round ball as black as a pearl, which was the black lotus seed he had just gotten his hand not long ago.
This thing is an antidote to poison, and it should not be difficult to remove the strange poison in this rain.
Zhao Zheng crushed the black lotus seed, poured it into Song Kuai's mouth, pushed his hand to close his chin, and sent the black lotus seed down with a little force.
This antidote really lived up to its name, and the speed of effect was faster than Zhao Zheng's forced poison to heal his wounds, and Song Kuaizui soon stopped shaking completely, and drops of black poisonous water appeared on the surface of his body.
Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, shook his hand, and unlocked the acupoints on Song Kuaizui's body.
"Zhao Zheng, what did you give me to eat just now, it really works, after I take it, it won't itch anymore." Song Kuaizui said happily.
"It's just an antidote. You hold an umbrella, stay here and don't move, I'll go and help and see if I can get the poisoner out. Zhao Zheng handed the umbrella in his hand to Song Kuaizui, propped up the other umbrella, and stepped into the rain.
Zhao Zheng looked left and right, watching the situation of the convoy, and found that the situation was still very chaotic, and there were serious casualties.
Someone has already scratched himself to death!
The deceased was a groom, and his death was extremely miserable, and none of his body was intact, and the cause of death was that he tore open his stomach, and all the bits and pieces inside were exposed.
If you let those poisoned people catch them, there will be more deaths and injuries, and you will be caught alive, and this kind of death is a little too tragic.
Fortunately, some masters in the convoy have already been dispatched, relying on rain gear to break into the wind and rain to treat the poisoned. Some people rely on luck to help force poison to heal their wounds, while others pour antidote medicine for those who are poisoned. The convoy stocked up on a number of antidotes for the trip, all sorts of things. There is no shortage of some elixirs comparable to black lotus seeds.
The current situation is chaotic though. But it was initially brought under control.
Zhao Zheng relaxed slightly. Turning your attention to finding the enemy is the most important thing, and if you don't find the enemy, they can continue to poison the rain. According to the symptoms of the poisoned person, he judged that this was a "tickling music" on the rivers and lakes, not to listen to the name is ridiculous, but the effect of the poison is very terrible.
This poison comes from the Five Poisons, but it is not used only by the Five Poisons. This sect is a very notorious sect, specializing in selling poisons, selling all kinds of poisons into the rivers and lakes, indirectly killing many people. Not to mention the Righteous Sect, even the Evil Sect hates the Five Poison Sects to the core, and they can't wait to uproot them and eradicate them completely.
There have been several times in the rivers and lakes that someone has taken the lead to deal with the Five Poison Sect, but each time they have not succeeded. The Five Poison Sect relied on all kinds of terrible poisons to stand tall and strong, and it is still poisoning the rivers and lakes.
Since anyone can use this kind of tickling, it is impossible to guess the identity of the enemy.
Zhao Zheng scanned the hazy sky with a calm face. Look for enemies that could emerge from anywhere.
At the same time, some masters in the shadows are also the same as Zhao Zheng. Searching for poisoned enemies. Among these people, there are two people with the highest cultivation realm, one is the Flying Nymphatrist. The other is to travel in all directions. The former does not need to be mentioned in detail, the latter was invited by Tie Xuanfeng to come over to protect this convoy secretly.
As the so-called helping people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, traveling in all directions, Xiaoyaosu specially brought three old friends to the field of the Sword Villa, and naturally hoped that the whole thing could end successfully and nothing went wrong. If someone attacked the convoy or even took away Zichu Sword, he, a martial arts master, would also lose face.
Levitating in the clouds high in the air, he tried to find the enemy's position, but he wasn't looking for it with his five senses, but in a different way. He is a tenfold heavenly warrior, this realm is called "the unity of heaven and man", and when the martial artist reaches this realm, he can merge with the surrounding natural environment, and then do many incredible things.
The Ten Heavens Martial Artists can clearly feel all the changes in the environment around them, and this feeling will be clearer and more definite than using the five senses, and the scope will be greater. In addition to feelings, the Ten Heavens are also able to dispatch the "qi" that exists in the surrounding environment and borrow it for their own use. These are the two most powerful abilities of the Ten Heavenly Martial Artists, but the mystery of this realm is far more than that.
Relying on the ability to unite heaven and man, Xiaoyaosu felt something that the sword slave could not feel.
The sword slave had heard some strange "poof" sounds before, which were actually made by the enemy when they poisoned the enemy, and the enemy used to bounce some poison powder into the air, and spread it out in mid-air, merging into the rain, turning the rain into a dangerous poisonous rain.
As long as you identify the direction where the poison powder is flying, you will naturally be able to rescue the enemy. It's easier said than done. The enemy is very cunning, and when ejecting the poison powder, he uses ingenuity in his hands, and the poison powder does not fly out in a straight line, but flies zigzag or even serpentine, and it is difficult to find the source.
Xiaoyaosu sensed a few suspicious positions, but he was not completely sure, so he did not make a rash move. A master like him will inevitably be a little arrogant in his bones, and he just wants to fight quickly and strive to defeat the enemy with one move.
Just as he was carefully feeling the nature of heaven and earth, a bad wind rushed towards him, the force was fast and fierce, mixed with a fishy smell, it turned out to be a poisonous internal force mixed with poison.
"Presumptuous! Dare to sneak attack the old decay, I really don't know whether to live or die! Unable to help but be furious, he turned abruptly and glared in the direction of the evil wind. He didn't even make a move, just relying on the power of this glare, he stopped the poisonous internal force.
Above the sky, the two forces collided together, making a sonic boom, and a poisonous mist exploded.
Without waiting for the poisonous fog to spread, Xiaoyaosu waved his sleeves and blew all the poisonous fog into the air above his head.
The blow failed, and the enemy did not rush to pursue it again, it seems that this move is just to test the skills of Xiaoyaosuo. He stopped the attack, and seemed to be very jealous of the strength of the Loose Warriors.
Seeing that the enemy was slow to move, he changed his strategy, no longer waiting for the rabbit, but took the initiative to attack. He took a step towards the north, and his figure disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already a hundred feet away. He let go of his senses, checked in the north, and when he saw that there was nothing suspicious, he gave up this place, took a step to the east, and jumped a hundred feet away.
With the convoy as the center, he constantly changed positions and searched in all directions. He searched back and forth three times, and finally found a suspicious person in a dense woods to the west. This place is uninhabited, and generally no one will come, this person is standing in the forest, and not far from the convoy, Jiucheng is the one who poisoned it.
He glared at the suspicious man in the forest, his gaze passing a distance of tens of feet, and he could see the man clearly.
The man was dressed in a strange suit with many pockets on his clothes, his facial features were very evil, and the nails of his hands were long and sharp like hooks. He was flicking his hands and bullets, bouncing the poison powder hidden between his fingernails into the air. In this way, it is even more certain that he is the poisoner!
He didn't recognize the man, but he did recognize the hands.
There is a master of poisoning in the rivers and lakes, named Ji Huacheng, nicknamed the Demon Scorpion Hand, it is rumored that his fingernails are extremely long, and he is very good at using his fingernails to catapult poison powder.
The poisoners in the forest are the same as the scorpion hands, regardless of their poisoning skills or their hands. Ji Huacheng is very consistent.
"Ji Hua Cheng! You, the rat who ate the gall of an ambitious leopard, dared to attack the idea of forging Sword Villa, and even did something to me, you really killed yourself! Xiaoyaosuo suddenly burst into tears, and the seemingly old and emaciated body erupted with an earth-shattering momentum, and this momentum alone has an amazing destructive power, which is by no means something ordinary people can bear. Behind him, the momentum condensed into a human figure, with his feet on the ground and his head against the sky, his face exactly like himself.
This momentum can only be possessed by martial artists above the Nine Heavens, and the ability is called "Momentum Like a Rainbow", which can have the effect of deterring others. As long as ordinary people feel this momentum, they will be frightened and faint.
Xiaoyaosuo's momentum was not just to scare people, he raised his right foot and stepped hard towards Ji Huacheng. This foot can be described as an earth-shattering crying ghost, and after a foot down, a thunderous sound broke out, and the woods centered on Ji Huacheng suddenly collapsed downward, and a huge footprint of more than ten zhang long appeared!
The trees were trampled down, sunk into the dirt, and the ground was flat. A strong wind spread in all directions, kicking up the sand and gravel on the ground, causing the trees around the footprints to shake violently.
Looking at the center of the footprints again, Ji Huacheng is like those trees, deeply trapped in it. His body had been trampled and deformed, his limbs twisted to the side in strange movements, and his bones were broken without looking. He was so badly injured that all seven of his orifices were bleeding to varying degrees, and he was dying.
This is the result of Xiaoyaosuo's mercy, if he kills, Ji Huacheng has already been trampled into a piece of meatloaf. (To be continued......)
