Chapter 18: Poisonous Water

Deep in the forest, Gnostic, Katniss and Pita were advancing with their weapons, and the three barely communicated, and there was no need to communicate. In the dangerous Hunger Games arena, they try to keep their footsteps as quiet as possible, and they can avoid conversation.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes on the left, and as soon as the three of them noticed it, they saw a black shadow rushing out, it was the terrifying mutant monster!

The three of them were caught off guard, and they were all knocked down by monsters, Katniss was bitten off his throat before he could draw his bow, Peta's arm was also bitten off and swallowed by a monster, and as for Gnosis, he was divided by two monsters......

However, the strange thing is that when these three people were bitten to death, not only did they not let out screams, but not even a drop of blood flowed. When the mutant animal gate was frantically biting and devouring flesh and blood, there was a "bang", and three puffs of smoke erupted from the three corpses, and after they dispersed, they saw pieces of shredded paper scattered on the ground.

The three people who walked out of the eleventh district from the depths of the dense forest, led by Soros, picked up a piece of shredded paper, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It was put aside, that little girl with glasses is actually a ...... of the gods" As he spoke, he waved his hand, only to see the beehive in Lulu's hand behind him began to shake violently, and then hundreds of killer bees flew into the air, circled in a group, and then scattered and separated.

Dozens of minutes later, these killer bees returned one after another, communicating with Soros with a special buzzing sound, and the message that they were probably transmitted was that the gnosis trio had been found in four directions, and when the swarm attacked them, three of them turned into green smoke, and the last group made an effective counterattack.

Soros smiled confidently: "For ordinary opponents, this kind of trick is indeed difficult to deal with, but it's a pity that you have met me, the beastmaster Soros!" With that, the beast legion of District 11 began to move towards the true bodies of Gnosis and the others.

On the other hand, Ma Le, who was hunting alone, didn't know that his teammates had been targeted, and now his goal was to hunt down powerful adventurers and scattered mutant monsters as much as possible, as for the plot characters, they did not pose a threat to the gnosis, so there was no need to worry.

So far, counting the battle at the Horn of Zeus, Ma Le has killed a total of 10 adventurers. I just met a pair of unlucky men and women in the woods, although both of them are not weak, but in front of Ma Le, whose strength is more than one difficulty, they still can't survive a minute. Ma Le paid attention to every time the cannon sounded, and if he was not mistaken, there were now only 23 of the 48 tributes left, of which 10 should be adventurers, and 13 should be plot characters.

And among the remaining ten adventurers, the ones who were labeled as dangerous by Ma Le and must be eliminated as much as possible to prevent future troubles are Helias, Ophelia, Moon Lake, and the unfathomable Soros. Although Ma Le is still unaware of Soros's abilities, his intuition tells him that this old man is dangerous, even more dangerous than Helias and Moon Lake.

As for the characters, Ma Le needs them to stay alive and slow down the progress of the Hunger Games.

Walking and walking, Ma Le was a little thirsty. Theoretically, as a perfect evolution of black light, he doesn't actually need to eat and drink with the ability to absorb it, but as a human habitual habit developed for more than 20 years, he will still be interested in eating, which is more of a psychological satisfaction than a real physical need.

Ma Le walked out of the woods and came to the creek, the only water source in the arena, which traversed the entire jungle. Ma Le squatted at the water's edge, picked up the stream water and drank it, the cool water ran through his throat, moisturizing his lungs, and making Ma Le feel a burst of comfort and pleasure.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Ma Le noticed some subtle reactions in his body, and the miracle badge also sent a warning prompt, and after a closer look, it read: "Warning, a highly toxic substance has been detected to enter the adventurer's body, the adventurer has a special anti-poison constitution, and the toxin level is low, so it cannot affect it......"

This water is poisonous?! Ma Le was shocked, although the adventurer's physique has been modified and his resistance to diseases and toxins has been greatly enhanced, it does not mean that he will be immune to toxins and diseases. Most toxins weaken the adventurer's abilities in the form of ailments, and some even directly cause health loss. And Ma Le's body was transformed by the black light virus, although it was not mentioned in the talent column, but it did obtain the hidden attribute of a virus-resistant and disease-resistant physique, so he didn't get hit.

"It is impossible for the organizers to poison this stream, which is equivalent to taking away the vitality of all the tributes, so where did this poison come from?" Ma Le muttered, and suddenly saw a red berry float down the water. Ma Le grabbed the berry, felt a little familiar, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the mouth was sweet, the juice crossed the esophagus and entered the body, and after a while, that subtle reaction appeared again, and the warning of the miracle badge sounded at the same time.

"Can't be wrong, this is the Fruit of Destiny!" Ma Le couldn't help but exclaim. This red berry is a genetically modified product of Capitol, and although it has a ruddy color and attractive aroma, it is indeed a strong poison! Once swallowed, the human heart stops beating within a minute. In the original plot, Pita almost ate the berry by mistake, but luckily, the always shrewd Cindy V. "Foxface", thinking he got food, sneaks up on Pita and steals the Fruit of Death. As a result, "Fox Face" was mistaken for being clever, and was poisoned to death after eating the life-seeking fruit.

Everyone who has watched the movie knows this plot, but Ma Le didn't expect someone to be so generous, collecting the Destiny Fruit and polluting the river upstream! In this way, within a few hours, all the plot characters who accidentally drink the stream water will die, and the adventurers will also fall into an abnormal state and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!

Other Ma Le doesn't care, if he really poisons all the plot tributers, The Hunger Games will definitely end early, which Ma Le doesn't want to see!

He hurriedly turned on the communicator of the Miracle Badge and warned the spirits: "The river water is poisonous, I will go upstream to take a look, and you should be careful not to drink the stream water!" Gnosis replied, "Understood...... But we're in other troubles right now! ”

"What's wrong?" Ma Le asked. "I don't know the specifics, I just know that someone is hunting us!" Gnosis replied, "I have released at least three sets of Shikigods, disguised as us to confuse the enemy, but I didn't expect to be attacked one after another, I guess they were targeted!" ”

"How many enemies are there, and what abilities are they using?"

"It's not certain yet, but not long ago we were attacked by a killer bee, this attack was somewhat unusual, and the time was about the same as when Shikigami was destroyed, and I speculate that the enemy may be able to manipulate animals......"

Ma Le thought about it for a moment and asked, "Can you hold on a little longer?" One hour is all it takes! Gnosis confidently said, "One hour? You're underestimating this girl, huh, don't say an hour, it's no problem for a day! ”

Although Gnosis was a little proud, her words were still reliable, Ma Le believed her judgment and reminded: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, be careful in everything, delay as much as possible, and wait for me to arrive!" Then he ran up the river with all his might.

There are no trees in the way of the river, and Ma Le can play his maximum speed. Although the terrain of the arena is complicated, the area is not very large, and at this speed, Ma Le estimates that it should take about ten minutes to run to the edge of the map.

On the other side, Soros, who is in the shadows, has already set his sights on the three Gnostic.

The sky has gradually darkened, and under the cover of night, Thoros's mutant hound can get closer to its prey without being noticed, and in the dark forest, seven pairs of green eyes slowly move under the cover of the woods, gradually approaching the unaware gnosis, Katniss and Peeta.

Although the killer bee is more rapid and deadly, through the information Guò obtained before, Soros knows that this bespectacled girl is a mana adventurer with an area kill skill, which is a deadly threat to the fragile killer bee. Therefore, Soros still decided to use mutant wild dogs as the main force to hunt.

The three gnostics also seemed to find it too dark, so they decided to rest on the spot and light a fire, and dispersed to collect firewood.

Katniss walked to a bush to pick up dead branches, but suddenly smelled a hint of blood, and when she looked up, she saw a pair of green eyes staring at her! She didn't even have time to call for help when she was thrown to the ground by a mutant hound, biting her face and tearing off the entire dough, leaving only the bloody muscle tissue still twitching, and a pair of round eyeballs embedded in the bloody face, unable to even turn......

At the same time, something similar happened to Peeta, when the two hounds pounced on him, disemboweled, and his intestines flowed to the ground, and the hounds frantically gnawed on them, completely oblivious to the boy's dying struggles.

Soros walked out of the shadows and looked at the gnosis standing in the clearing, the girl with glasses in the double ponytail seemed to be frightened by the bloody scene in front of her, just staring at Soros deadly, but did not make any movement.

Soros showed a cruel smile, and was about to open his mouth to sarcastically say two words to the two-ponytail glasses girl, but he heard two pops, and Pita and Katniss, who had been killed by mutant wild dogs, turned into two clouds of smoke and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few pieces of shredded paper to fall in the wind......

"Damn it!" Soros was furious, and threw a fireball at the "Gnostic", and the flame "suddenly" ignited the double ponytail glasses girl, only to hear a pop, she also turned into a puff of green smoke, leaving only a few wisps of ashes.

"It's still Shikigami?!" Soros said angrily, "How many gods does this girl have, I'm obviously chasing her body, how can I ......?"

Before the words fell, Soros suddenly heard three "poof" sounds in his ears, and saw a few puffs of smoke coming from behind a tree trunk not far away.

"It turned out to be a remote trigger!" Soros angrily killed the three Shikigami stand-ins in an instant, and shouted, "How many such things are there!" ”

Soros couldn't see that in this dark dense forest, more than one-tenth of the trees were pasted with small paper figures that carried the gods, which were secretly accumulated by the gnosis during training......
