Chapter 423: Why Don't You Die Yet?
"Humph!"
Chen Lao and the others didn't know that the secret guards on the other side sneered while replying to them.
Two systems, can't interfere with each other?
No, no.
This is half-true and half-false, and not many people know the identity of Chen Lao and Wuzai.
But without the emperor's approval, it is impossible to issue a sea fishing document involving the official title reward.
The reason why this was done was naturally to "spur" Chen Lao and the five people.
Let them hurry up and kill the Demon Lord.
It's really not good, at least to weaken the demon lord.
Just as killing someone sent by the court will increase the trust of the demon lord, if one of them dies at the hands of the court, it will also increase the trust of the demon lord.
To put it bluntly, the Dajing Imperial Court did not care about the death of Chen Lao and others.
As long as you don't die, you can still cause harm to the demon lord.
Five people, two or three dead is not a matter at all.
Undercover, the end is generally not too good.
When you are a two-five boy, you must be mentally prepared to suffer from both ends.
The group of two and five people returned to Xia Yanzhen's place with new horses and some food and water, and while it was still early, the six of them went north again.
If you are riding a horse, the speed cannot be compared with that of a dragon.
Xia Yanzhen and the others walked and stopped all the way, and it took a week, and they were still far away from the imperial city of Dajing.
At their rate, it is estimated that it will take another one to two months to reach the emperor.
Fortunately, the time limit for this mission is six natural months, which is sufficient.
Apparently taking into account the problem of inaccessibility.
Although there are guns and cannons on the Star Federation's side - in fact, Dajing also has them, but they are not as advanced and easy to use as the Star Federation, and they can't break the air.
But the internal combustion engine did not appear, and it was still very early before the Industrial Revolution.
Everywhere, the most important means of transportation on land is the horse.
The fastest "mode of transportation" is horseback riding - the transcendent does not run by himself, and even if he runs by himself, considering the physical exertion, the most suitable is still horseback.
And you can't ride a horse indiscriminately, because on a worse road, if the horse really runs, it will break its legs.
The importance of smoothing and being able to run the horse official road is self-evident.
With such traffic conditions, it is destined that going to the imperial city is a time-consuming project.
In the case that Xia Yan is really not in a hurry, then take your time.
Besides, if you want to be fast, you can't be fast.
Because, there are really not a few people who want to exchange the heads of Chen Lao Wu for high-ranking officials.
Especially after the news that the first two demon lords did not make a move came out, more people were moved.
And all kinds of means emerge one after another, and the frontal attack is only the lowest end.
What poisoning, long-range sneak attack.
It was an eye-opener for Xia Yanzhen, he didn't expect Dajing to have so many talents.
Although there was no attrition in Chongxiao, there were also people who were injured and hung the lottery.
The furious Chen Lao and the five also pursued and killed those sneak attackers.
The process of rushing is not dull at all, and it adds a bit of fun to the otherwise boring journey.
Of course, this fun is only for Xia Yanzhen.
The five people in Chongxiao were very uncomfortable.
"Head Xia, drink some water." Just killed a few sneak attackers and got back on the road, Chen Lao handed over a brown water bag and said.
"I have." Xia Yanzhen said.
"No, there's a little antidote to the water." Old Chen said, "The poison just now has affected you, Head Xia. ”
Among the sneak attackers just now, someone spilled a piece of poison, enveloping everyone.
The others were somewhat affected, and it was normal to take a little antidote after the battle.
"Oh, good."
Xia Yanzhen took the water bag.
Old Chen's gaze moved along Xia Yanzhen's hand, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated slightly.
There is indeed an antidote in this water, and there are even Gu worms-the mother worm of the heart.
The Drilled Heart Mother Worm comes from the secret guard of the imperial court and is a very special bug.
The mother worm is very small in its sleeping state, a few points smaller than a grain of rice, and is completely transparent, and it is impossible to see it clearly when mixed with water.
When awakened, it will continue to produce borrowers.
The heartworm has extremely sharp mouthparts and can also secrete special insect fluids.
It can penetrate into the human body unnoticed, absorb the human blood and grow, until it penetrates the human heart.
On the bodies of Chen Lao and the others, there are several drill worms.
Just at the edge of the heart, occasionally I move twice, bringing a little pain.
When I really started drilling, the pain of digging out the heart and bones was unbearable.
This Gu worm is not only a killer silverfish, but also a terrible torture tool.
The female worm of the heart is the bottom of the box of the old woman called the insect woman (the actual age is not more than thirty) in the dark guard.
These days, I found an opportunity to hand it over to Chen Lao and asked him to feed Xia Yanzhen to eat.
After eating, the worm has a way to induce the mother to lay eggs.
Regardless of life and death, if you kill chickens and take eggs, it is enough for the mother worm to produce tens of thousands of burrowing larvae in a day.
And then...... Naturally, it is the death period of the demon lord!
The Drillworm can even penetrate the steel armor, and tens of thousands of Drillworms can't kill your Demon Lord?
This was the first time that Chen Lao had tried to kill Xia Yanzhen.
The gaze involuntarily followed.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yanzhen's action of drinking water stopped.
"Oh." Old Chen woke up suddenly and coughed, "What, the antidote is quite expensive." "Find it back in time.
“…… I'll do it next time when I have to. Xia Yanzhen said, drinking all the water in the water bag.
Chen Lao nodded, and the horse moved forward, his tense back relaxed.
It's done!
Now it's up to the worm woman.
A day later.
"What the are you going to do!"
Even if he was using concentric insects to contact, Chen Lao wrote out the tone words.
Said that ten thousand insects will drill their hearts and die!
A day and a night have passed, and Xia Shiyi is still alive.
Worm woman, you're dead, aren't you?
"Failed, we need the hair and blood of the demon lord."
The worm woman didn't die, she just failed, but she was so badly injured that she was about to die.
The reason is that the mother worm dies - first the worm woman suddenly does not feel the presence of the female worm, and not long after, the female worm suddenly dies.
The impact of the sudden death of the mother worm is not the same level as the insect mother's forced catalysis to burrow the female worm and let it give birth to its young.
directly countered the insect woman.
With the insect woman half dead, the plan to kill the demon lord with Gu worms is in full swing.
Therefore, it is necessary to change people and change new methods.
The curse of disgust that needs hair and blood!
"We'll figure it out for hair, it's impossible for blood!" Chen Lao's reply was categorical.
Not to mention that these cats and dogs are coming to attack now, even if Xia Shiyi came out of the Rongguang rented land that day, he didn't see blood.
Let him bleed?
Live in a dream!
"At least have hair."
"We'll do our best for that." Chen Lao put away the concentric worm.
"What the hell! Those who say good will die! Wen Tian and Wu secretly scolded and scolded.
All words are spoken in the team channel, so you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped.
"I don't know what's wrong over there, it's just that it failed." Chen Lao said, "Let's find an opportunity to get some of Xia Shiyi's hair. ”
"It's easy, just give him a change of clothes." Yu Huachen said.
He also accepted his fate and killed Xia Shiyi, at least he could save himself.
Two days later.
Yu Huachen excused Xia Yanzhen's clothes to be too dirty and a little torn, and changed him into a third-order dream apostle, and there were several sets of various styles of clothes.
Then avoiding Xia Yanzhen, several people searched for the old man for a long time, and finally found a hair.
Then he contacted the guards and handed over his hair.
According to the Dark Guard, only hair can only make the demon lord sick and weak, and it will not directly make him die.
But it's better to have an effect than nothing.
After the hair was handed in, several people were waiting.
Two days later, Wu Dian suddenly fell ill, and not only that, but it also triggered an outbreak of many poisons, Gu worms and other curses in his body.
Wen Tian tried his best to save for a day, but in the end he couldn't save it.
Originally, there was one last way, which was to dance the begging dance, and if you broke your leg in time after treatment, you should be able to survive.
At that time, Wu Dian was so sick that he couldn't even move his fingers.
Dancing must be dancing on your own.
Someone else controlling the jump doesn't work.
In this way, Wu Yan became the first person to die in Chongxiao.
The furious Chen Lao contacted the secret guard, why were they the ones who fell ill!
The people of the dark guard are also angry, whose hair are you giving!
Don't think this curse is simple, but it costs half a life!
Unfortunately, that hair was not Xia Yanzhen's, but Wu Yan's, this guy scratched his head in the process of searching, and a hair fell on his clothes, which was regarded as Xia Yanzhen.
As for Xia Yanzhen himself, his hair, even if he washes his hair himself, will not fall out.
Unless you scratch hard and pull it, it will fall.
Wu Dark's death was Chongxiao's own problem, and he also took the half-life of someone in the dark guard.
The Demon Lord is truly unscathed.
Chen Lao and the four were angry, and the secret guard was also angry.
But they still have to find a new way - the price of the curse is not small, and they can't do it again for a short time.
Now, come to the poisoner.
Compared with the Gu worm and the method of hating victory, the method of the poison master is much more complicated.
It is necessary to start with Xia Yanzhen's life, and slowly place various "medicines" from the places he touches and touches, as well as food.
Medicines are harmless and even beneficial to the human body.
You can eat it as is.
But when many drugs are mixed together, combined with the poisoner's special medicine primer, a terrifying poison can erupt.
According to the words of the poison master, even ten great grandmasters would die under such poison.
As for whether he can kill the demon lord, he can't guarantee it.
After all, the heartworms have failed.
But it's also good to be able to weaken the Demon Lord.
Compared with the two methods, this method is more time-consuming and easy to expose.
Fortunately, after giving Xia Yanzhen a water bag, Chongxiao was responsible for Xia Yanzhen's daily life, intentionally or unintentionally.
In addition, the water and food in Xia Yanzhen's imprint space were also almost consumed.
Chongxiao is responsible for eating and drinking along the way, so it is still feasible to take medicine.
In this way, it took half a month, and everyone was quite close to the imperial city.
There is only one step left before the poisoning is complete - the last special drug primer.
After getting the primer of the medicine, Chen Lao mixed it into the water that Xia Yan really wanted to drink.
Xia Yanzhen took the water bag, took a sip, and then spit it out violently.
It made Chen Lao's heart beat hard.
It's done?!
The poison master said that the medicine primer does not need to be really eaten, and by drinking the water into the mouth, it can fully trigger the medicine accumulated before and turn it into a poisonous outbreak.
"The water is bitter." Xia Yanzhen said, handing the water bag back to Old Chen.
“……”
Chen Lao took the water bag in a daze.
Your eyes are slightly red, why aren't you dead yet!
