Offensive and defensive
"So, let's drink the first cup of poison for both players." Danqing announced.
Although the dark battle between the players on both sides is also very interesting, but the most important thing at the moment is the game process, so after confirming that Liang Jingmo and Chi Shangxuan are ready, Danqing asked them to put the materials in the designated position, and after a while, the first cup of poison water in this round of the game has been made.
This time, it was Liang Jingmo who was the first to drink. With his eyes tightly closed, he gritted his teeth and tilted his head, pouring the colorless and odorless liquid from the cup into his throat. After waiting for a while, this time the painful feeling did not hit as expected, he opened his eyes with some confusion and looked left and right, and moved his hands and feet again, feeling the changes in various parts of his body.
There really wasn't any telltale sign of it, and he didn't feel anything new except for a faint burning sensation in his stomach when he first drank it. Of course, he would not be naïve enough to think that his opponent had good intentions to release water, but the opponent's performance in this round was too different from the previous two times, and it was obvious that there was something else hidden in it.
Naturally, he set his eyes on Chi Shangxuan opposite.
This time, Chi Shangxuan drank very slowly, but he never showed hesitation or fear. He drank the cup of poisoned water, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair to recuperate. Liang Jingmo knew that he was certainly not as leisurely as he looked, because if you looked closely, you could notice that the muscles on his face were trembling slightly, which was a reaction caused by drugs, and no matter how strong self-control people were, they couldn't hide it calmly.
Obviously, the toxins that Liang Jingmo put into it had already begun to attack, and if he was given a little more time, once the chain reaction was formed, Chi Shangxuan would definitely be in pain.
It's just that according to the rules, it's time to drink the second cup of poison.
Looking at the second cup of liquid that filled the cup, Liang Jingmo smiled slightly and drank it all again. This time there was plenty of time, and although it was difficult to collect at night, it was enough to cope with this round. He had absolute confidence in the materials he had collected this round, as they were among the most poisonous plants he knew. It's just that although it will be used in combination like this, it will make it impossible for him to use it in later games, and it may fall into a difficult situation of choice, but in this critical round, Liang Jingmo feels that it is still worth it.
Sure enough, not long after he drank it, he felt a warm current rise from his abdomen, and then swept all over his body. The faint discomfort in his abdomen just now disappeared immediately, and this cup of poison that was enough to knock down an adult man turned into an antidote at this time, eliminating the bad condition in his body. Chi Shangxuan's poison just now made his health drop slightly, but with this cup, the downward momentum has stopped.
At least this round, the winner is decided.
Liang Jingmo smiled and looked at the other side, and at the same time stretched his waist and let out a comfortable long sigh. Even if the poisoned person desperately tries to pretend to be relaxed, the body cannot really relax, it will only become more nervous. Therefore, seeing his posture, no matter how idiotic people are, they should know the results of this round.
Chi Shangxuan opened his eyes, his face expressionless. The sharp pain in his limbs made his movements a little slow, although drinking this second cup at this time would not help, and it would in turn add some toxins to himself, but he seemed to not care, took the cup and drank it directly, and then closed his eyes again and leaned back in his chair.
Liang Jingmo kept staring at him, but in the end, he was disappointed to find that Chi Shangxuan did not show even the slightest bit of frustration after failure from beginning to end. This may show that Chi Shangxuan's emotional control ability is far beyond his imagination, and it is also possible that the other party foresaw the failure at this time early on, so he would be so calm in the face of it.
Liang Jingmo quickly confirmed that it was the latter.
According to the materials he concocted, after the medicine is fully paved in the body, after about two or three minutes, the effect of the rest of the materials will burst out in a very short time, normally it will make the body tremble uncontrollably, and the severe pain all over the body will make the most determined person can't help but scream, and in severe cases, he will even be unable to control his body and fall into a state of dancing hands and feet.
However, Chi Shangxuan did not do this. He just sat there, his face serene, as if he was really just closing his eyes. Not only that, but the uncontrollable trembling of the muscles on his face had already become more and more severe just now, but after drinking the liquid that was supposed to be still poison, the symptoms seemed to have lessened a lot.
"Toxicity?"
Liang Jingmo was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You guy, you learn really fast." ”
This kind of words from competitors are simply compliments, Chi Shangxuan Shi Ran opened his eyes and responded lightly: "This is not your patent after all, even if I am just a rough understanding of pharmacology, I can do it." Just guess what you're going to do, and it's not too difficult to configure the corresponding things. ”
Liang Jingmo said: "Indeed, this round is a key battle for me that I can't retreat from, and I will definitely come up with something at the bottom of the box no matter what." But you have to put the restraint stuff out, if you can guess what I'm going to do. ”
He slowly stood up - anyway, this round of the game is over, don't worry about the host saying something to stop him - walked straight to Chi Shangxuan's chair and looked at him condescendingly.
"How did you know I was going to target muscles and joints?" He asked, with a strong attitude, but with a more or less unstable feeling in his words. At this time, judging from the posture of him, Chi Shangxuan was suppressed, and judging from the results of this round of duels, it was also his victory, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was actually Liang Jingmo's side that was suppressed.
He came up with his best materials for this matchup, and winning was only the bare minimum. In fact, it was really that, and he couldn't reap further results, because Chi Shangxuan used the method he had used before—and he had just used it—to make all his follow-up attacks invisible.
Originally, this was supposed to be a key game to reverse the previous decline and regain the initiative, but it was Chi Shangxuan who targeted him and established a psychological advantage, no wonder Liang Jingmo asked such a non-level question unusually, for no other reason, but the mentality has changed.
At this moment, even Chi Shangxuan, who had always been moody, couldn't help but tremble slightly with the muscles at the corners of his mouth.
"I can see it." He still closed his eyes and replied lightly, "Your behavior directly reveals your thoughts, and it is very convenient to judge." Speaking of which, I have to thank you. ”
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his black eyes looked at Liang Jingmo with a terrifying brilliance, only to make people feel furious in their hearts. "I have to thank you, even though you are aware of the fact that I am very observant, but you still naively want to challenge me." He said word by word, "If you were to be secretive from the beginning, it would be a bit weak, but I really can't confirm your thoughts so easily." Thank you. ”
After he said this, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but show a smile.
"It's not easy to say it like the real thing."
Liang Jingmo sneered and raised his head. He paused, as if searching his mind for a more powerful counter-attack, but finally gave up.
"From this round onwards, it's my counterattack, so we'll see."
He finally dropped a cruel word that was not intimidating, and then returned to the edge of his seat. The host Danqing has been watching the interaction between these two people coldly on the side, and when he saw that the opportunity had come, he opened his mouth and announced: "This round of the duel is over, this game is finally starting to look good, I hope that the next round can continue to maintain this-for-tat state." ”
He seems to like to include this kind of more personal commentary at the end of each round than at other times when the start and progress are announced in a step-by-step manner. It's just that at this time, both of them have adapted to this situation, and the moment Danqing's words just fell, Liang Jingmo had already impatiently got up and walked out, as if he wanted to take advantage of the good luck brought by this victory to quickly find some better materials for himself to cope with the next round of duels.
Chi Shangxuan probably wanted to go out quickly, but his physical condition did not allow him to make too drastic movements at this time. I saw him slowly stand up with his chair with great difficulty, and after getting used to it, he took a step towards the door.
"You're almost there." Danqing behind him suddenly spoke.
Chi Shangxuan turned his head strangely. It is very rare for the host to take the initiative to disclose information to the player during the game. Chi Shangxuan knew that although Liang Jingmo's blow just now was not completely effective, after all, it was some very poisonous poison, even if it was simply piled up together, it could produce a lot of destructive power. At this time, his "health value" dropped by more than twenty points in one go, and now it has reached seventy-six. Dan Qing said this, which was tantamount to revealing to him that seventy is the boundary between the green and yellow areas, and his score at this time was indeed about to cross the line.
Of course, a criterion for distinguishing colors alone is of course of little value, but Liang Jingmo on the opposite side just fell into the yellow area in the last round of the game, and at this time, he returned to green through methods such as medicinal herbs, and he didn't think he would exceed the boundary too much. Danqing's words at this time were equivalent to indirectly hinting at Liang Jingmo's score to Chi Shangxuan, and the value of this information was too great.
Chi Shangxuan thought for a moment and said, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?" ”
"In my personal opinion, in terms of fairness, the two sides should stand at about the same height, and that is interesting to compare." "So, I'm going to give the underdog some tips selectively so that they have a chance to stand up and make the game more exciting." You don't have to feel that you are taking advantage, because the person who enjoyed this benefit in the first two rounds was Liang Jingmo. ”
"So your logic is, whoever loses this round is the weakling?"
Facing the other party's questioning, Danqing smiled silently.
"Jokes."
Chi Shangxuan lightly spit out two words. After a short conversation, he was relieved and able to stand firmly, and then walked out the door. His back showed that he had a lot to say besides that, but it was all stuffed into the iron-like body, hidden deeply.
And at least at this moment, Danqing briefly glimpsed this person's heart.
At this moment, the little sense of disobedience that had arisen in his heart since the beginning of the game, and which had always run through and continued to grow during the game, was finally answered.
And so it was. He sighed inwardly. Liang Jingmo must have found out.
This person cannot be said to be a real "piece of iron" at all.
