Chapter 9, Immunotoxins
Faced with the approaching threat, Tang Yao had to put down his nest and free his hands to deal with it, Zhou Shang, who was holding a sharp spear, stepped into the swarm of mites and insects, and every step he took would knock the spear in his hand, and the spear would make a "bell" sound after hitting the ground, and the mites would stay away from Zhou Shang.
Although Tang Yao didn't know anything about martial arts or kung fu, he could still see that Zhou Shang in front of him was definitely a practitioner, although he didn't look like a big man in Western fitness, but when he approached Tang Yao, the muscles up and down his body were tense and his pace was steady, just like a predator who was gradually approaching his prey.
Intuition told Tang Yao that if he took a beating from Zhou Shang, it was estimated that half of his life would be gone.
The situation is becoming more and more critical, and there is only one choice in front of Tang Yao, abandon the nest and escape by himself, and maybe there is a glimmer of life to break through.
He glanced at Fang Chao, and then at the two people behind him, his brain was spinning rapidly, and at the moment when Zhou Shang raised his spear, Tang Yao suddenly spoke: "We can cooperate." ”
Zhou Shang's footsteps stopped because of this, looked at Tang Yao with puzzled eyes, and after a while, he sneered, and said to Tang Yao in a sarcastic tone: "Cooperation? You two are going to be out soon, why should I cooperate with you? ”
The other two Zhou Shang's younger brothers also laughed in the back, Tang Yao didn't care about these and said bluntly: "Two more of us is equivalent to two more cannon fodder to help you explore the way, you and I both know that the focus of the interview is to break the illusion and seize the treasure, the phantom array set up near the treasure in the Hall of Dead Bones must not be simple, if you go deep into it without any intelligence, it will inevitably be damaged or even directly failed, but if we let the two of us open the way for you, then the situation will be different." ”
When Tang Yao said this, the mocking smile on Zhou Shang's face had completely disappeared, and he even tapped the ground with a spear to control the mite swarm back into the burrow.
"Go on."
Tang Yao nodded and said: "If we fail to explore the path, at least you can collect some intelligence, which is conducive to your own illusion, if the two of us succeed in breaking the illusion and get the treasure, it will be easy to subdue us with your strength, so leaving the two of us to be cannon fodder, there is no harm to you, as you can see, Fang Chao and I are completely chess pieces that you can control." ”
These words completely moved Zhou Shang, he thought for a while and turned his spear back into the state of a club, then slowly walked to Fang Chao, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the lid and shook it between Fang Chao's snorts, Tang Yao on the side smelled a pungent smell.
"He'll be sober in ten minutes." Zhou Shang put away the porcelain vase and said, "You're right, I need two cannon fodder, but if you two dare to have two hearts for me, I will abolish you two, do you understand?" ”
Tang Yao nodded, and then walked to the side with the unconscious Fang Chao, about ten minutes later, Fang Chao gradually woke up, and his state gradually recovered, and after his consciousness basically returned to normal, Tang Yao told Fang Chao what happened.
"Brother, I should thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be lying in the hospital now, and you didn't leave me at the critical moment, in fact, you could have left me and rushed out by yourself, maybe you could have escaped." Fang Chao lowered his head, although his brain was clear, his limbs had not fully recovered.
"You don't have to thank me, you also told me a lot of things on the minibus before, I can be regarded as repaying the favor, and I may not be able to rush out of that situation at that time, even if I rush out, I can't fight those illusionists as an ordinary person." Tang Yao said truthfully.
Fang Chao tried to move his limbs, and then lowered his voice and asked, "What are we going to do next, won't we really be cannon fodder for these two things." ”
Tang Yao didn't answer directly, and after thinking about it, he said, "You are also an illusionist, can you tell me what you will do?" ”
"Our Fang people are from the Mohist school, and I'm still an outsider, so I know very little...... In this era, the Mo family mainly sells traps and weapons for other schools, so my learning of illusion is very shallow, and it is basically impossible to deal with Zhou Shang and the three of them. Fang Chao was very honest, although the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.
"Then do you have a way to snatch Zhou Shang's stick in the chaos?" Tang Yao said as he glanced at the three people who were resting not far away.
Fang Chao seemed to see what Tang Yao meant, and after thinking about it, he said: "I have a grappling hook made by myself, but my quasi-head is average, it is good to be able to hit five times out of ten, if I can get the stick out of Zhou Shang's hands, then I may be able to use the grappling hook to get the stick in my hand, and I also have some small mechanism props, which can temporarily cover the vision." ”
"Okay, you see what I'm doing, let's figure out how to deal with these three guys."
Tang Yao's expression was extremely serious, and he slapped his face heavily with his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly stood up from the ground.
He needed this job, for the herbs in Ao Tianchong's hands, in order to be able to live.
For others, it may just be an interview, but for Tang Yao, it is about his life.
What he didn't know at this moment when he stood up was that this choice to fight for his life was destined to change his ordinary life, and every step he took brought him closer to the world of illusionists.
One of the three stood up and walked towards Tang Yao, shouting, "Are you two rested?" ”
Tang Yao glanced back at Fang Chao, he was still sitting on the ground, but he turned his wrist and said softly: "Whatever you want to do, I'm ready." ”
Tang Yao nodded, took a deep breath, and then shouted at the other side: "Hey, the one just now doesn't count, you calculate us first, or let's compete again." ”
The three of them obviously didn't expect this to happen, the little brother standing in front of Tang Yao was taken aback and looked back at Zhou Shang, and Zhou Shang, who heard the movement, stood up from the ground, took out the weird stick again, and knocked on the ground as he walked.
A large number of black mites crawled out of the cracks in the concrete floor and the old containers, and quickly moved in the direction of Tang Yao.
"I thought you had learned to be good, I won't give you a chance this time, I'll make two holes in your body, so that you can be crutches for at least three months, brothers, don't worry about the waste in the nest, fence this kid for me." Zhou Shang shouted angrily, in his opinion, the nest that was sitting on the ground with his back to the container at the moment was not a threat at all.
A large number of mites rushed straight at Tang Yao, and this time Tang Yao barely struggled, he let the dense mites crawl up his body along his shoes, and hundreds of mites covered Tang Yao's body, making him look like a terrifying monster.
"Is this kid crazy, even if the toxin of a single mite is not so strong, but there are hundreds of mites here, if all the toxins are injected into this kid's body, I am afraid that this kid's life will not be guaranteed." Zhou Shang's younger brother said in surprise.
However, even more surprising things followed, Tang Yao, who was covered with mites all over his body, did not have any abnormalities, these small insects had left a large number of bites on his body, but he seemed to be immune to the toxins of the mites, not only did not endanger his life or even appeared in a state of coma and confusion.
Tang Yao stretched out his hand to push away the two mites that were blocking in front of him, his eyes locked on Zhou Shang in front of him, and in the next second, Tang Yao tried his best to run towards Zhou Shang, and the occurrence of this scene stunned everyone and even the nest sitting behind.
Fang Chao finally knew what Tang Yao wanted to do, a crazy plan that didn't necessarily lose everything.
"What the do you want?" Zhou Shang shouted in surprise, at this moment he even forgot to turn the stick in his hand into a spear, and when he reacted after a few seconds, Tang Yao was already less than twenty meters away from him.
He held the stick with both hands and turned it hard, the stick turned into a spear at the same time Tang Yao had already rushed to Zhou Shang, and then grabbed Zhou Shang's hand, Tang Yao tried to snatch the spear from Zhou Shang's hand, but soon he found that his strength was too much worse than Zhou Shang.
"It turns out that you want to take away my soldiers, do you kid have this ability?" Zhou Shang said coldly, and his other hand had already been pinched into a fist and hit Tang Yao's face hard, killing several mites and giving Tang Yao a heavy blow.
Tang Yao could almost hear the "click" sound of his teeth, but he didn't let go, and the next second he actually did something even crazier, he lowered his head and bit Zhou Shang's wrist.
"You're a piece of trash, dare to bite me, I'll kill you." Zhou Shang scolded loudly.
Tang Yao bit the other party's wrist and didn't let go at all, and at the same time grabbed the spear with both hands and raised it high, this was to give the rear Fang Chao a chance to make a move.
The comprehension of Fang Chao stood up from the ground with a "rub", and Zhou Shang's two younger brothers hurriedly stepped forward to stop it when they saw this, but at this moment they were far away from Fang Chao, and they couldn't rush to Fang Chao for a while.
Removed a palm-sized grappling hook from his waist, Fang Chao shook the chain on the grappling hook vigorously, took a deep breath, stared at the spear in Zhou Shang's hand tightly and then shouted, the grappling hook came out of his hand at this time, and flew straight in the direction of Zhou Shang.
