Chapter Eighty-Eight: Making Something Out of Nothing

The battle situation has changed!

Thirteen figures, only five retreated!

"Not good!!"

"Fuck!

"I can't lift my strength!"

"What's the situation!!"

"Bastard!!"

“......”

Half a sentence of rage, panic...

At the moment when the two of them put away their swords and everyone retreated, only five of the thirteen retreating figures jumped out of the air! There were still eight of them, and I don't know what went wrong. Unexpectedly, at the moment when they jumped up to borrow their strength, as if they had been struck by lightning, their whole bodies suddenly convulsed, and they fell straight back to the ground......

Something went wrong!

A burst of anger and panic suddenly surged into the hearts of the eight people left!

Poisoned?

However, it is only now that I have reacted, it seems too late...

It's a drastic change that's too fast!

The monstrous vine tide was not blocked by the two silver swords, and it poured out in an instant. The eight people who went wrong were only less than a foot away from the top of thousands of waves. The five figures in the retreat have already jumped out, and they are not in a hurry to borrow their strength again and return to the rescue...

It's a dead end with no solution.

All tragedies happen only in such a moment...

In an instant...

"Puff puff..."

"Knock knock ......"

The monstrous vine tide was overwhelming, and it swooped down directly towards the eight people who couldn't escape. Rattan thorns cut flesh, rattan thorns pierced the intestines, and thousands of tattooed green vines passed through every inch of everyone's flesh and blood alive and inserted into the earth.

The sound of stabbing flesh, breaking stones, and explosions came out one after another.

Blood splattered, and clothes and flesh were shattered.

The green vines peck the ground, and the soil and stones are mixed with smoke and dust.

“......”

Everything happened so suddenly...

Eight people, in this breath, were skewered by countless green vines, human flesh skewers. Before that, they didn't even let out a single shout, they were already pierced inch by inch and unconscious...

“......”

Those who have retired have retired, and those who have stayed have stayed.

The confrontation between the wolves and the elk was temporarily stopped because of the sudden convulsions.

"Tick, tick..."

The hot blood flowed down the tips and thorns of the vines and dripped into the moist soil. Thousands of green vines are made of thick and thin green vines, forming an arc, extending more than 50 zhang along the trail from the top of the mountain, inserting into the soil. Like a huge, sharp dog's paws, lying on the ground. The eight bloody bodies were strung at the very front of the claws by thousands of vine tips...

Motionless, I don't know whether I live or die.

Blood, flowing.

The stream is also flowing.

But it always makes people feel that they are dead and quiet, dead and quiet.

The five vicious wolves who successfully retreated stood gloomily ten zhang away, looking at the eight bloody bodies in the green vine bushes.

Two silver swords, an iron fan, a jade flute, and a white bamboo slip. The five of them just stood in a deep voice. There is no sadness, no anger, only a heavy heart.

Because, the people who were strung together are not dead yet. The punctures of thousands of green vines were very cleverly avoided, the position of the lifeblood of their hearts.

However, just because they are not dead now does not mean that they will not die. As long as the female elk on the top of the mountain moves a finger, they can die in no time.

It's a threat...

"What the hell is going on!"

The silver sword at the head stared fiercely at the bamboo slip holder, gritting his teeth.

“......”

In fact, at this time, even the bamboo slippers themselves were very confused.

Judging from the strangeness shown by the eight people at the moment when they just retreated, this was obviously the situation of being unable to exert their strength after being poisoned. However, the silver needle in his hand has always been shining silver, and it has not changed for the slightest. That shows that the poisonous attack they guarded against along the way has never appeared.

So where did the poisoning come from?

After thinking about it for a long time, there is still no solution. The bamboo slipper lifted his gloomy gaze up a little and looked at the chilling man at the top of the mountain.

"Perhaps, only the two of them know what happened..."

Laugh.

At the moment when the bamboo slipper raised his gaze, the calm people on the mountain showed a faint smile.

At this time, the two sides were sixty zhang apart, and the words of the bamboo slipper were whispered. It stands to reason that Xia Xun, who is standing on the top of the mountain, can't hear it. However, as if he could really hear, he smiled and shouted downward:

"Throw the silver needle in the water and see!"

“......”

The shouts echoed through the mountains.

After hearing the words, he seemed to have guessed some reasons.

"I see..."

I saw that he didn't turn his head, his eyes kept staring at Xia Xun gloomily, and he casually threw the silver needle into the stream.

"Bang~"

The silver needle falls into the water and splashes a few times. Then he swayed and sank to the bottom of the water.

Not much...

“......”

The four hearts also sank.

The water is poisonous!

"What's going on?"

When the silver needle entered the water and was quickly dyed into a dark green silver needle, the fan holder couldn't help but ask in surprise.

This question, in fact, also expressed the thoughts of the rest of the people.

Not long ago, the scheming bamboo slip had obviously used a silver needle to probe the stream. At that time, there was no problem with the stream water, so the eight people who drank the stream water should not have a problem, right? Because, even if the stream water is poisonous now, how can it be possible for people who have drunk the stream water before to be poisoned?

"Water itself is not poisonous. ”

"Huh?"

The inexplicable words of the bamboo slipper stunned several people.

It's just that he didn't rush to explain. His eyes kept staring at Xia Xun, and there was no extra movement. It is a vicious wolf that will shoot at any time, and it is on guard.

Ignoring the surprise of a few people, the bamboo slipper continued to say in a deep voice: "The water itself is not poisonous, and the fireworks burned are not poisonous. However, when the smoke melts into the water, it becomes poisonous......"

"If I'm not mistaken. He must have put strychnine and winter feather grass in the water, and put oleander and aconitum vine in the fire that burned first. This is a recipe for paralysis, burning the medicine vine into ashes, and it will melt when it meets the soup!

And the pile of wooden stakes he just lit should be hiding the roots of the cow rope that induce poison..."

As he spoke, the voice of the bamboo slipper became colder and colder, smaller and slower. Until the end, every word leaked through his teeth...

Paused...

"Use a shoe to tempt me to drink water and rest, and then use a green vine to disturb my mind, force out butterflies and cut grass, and break the rolling wood to scatter smoke and dust.

What a trick to create out of nothing...!"

“......”

After the bamboo slip spoke, the aftermath dissipated, but the deep meaning was still in the hearts of several people, echoing for a long time, and it was difficult to swallow.

...... Nothing to say

They walked step by step along the way, cautiously, afraid of Xia Xun's way. But in the end, you still have to come, and you can't hide or escape. From the moment they saw the bloodstained little shoe, an invisible butcher knife was already behind them, quietly raised...

Small shoes attract people to gather, and drink water by the stream.

The fire on the top of the mountain boils medicine, and the little feet heal.

Hundreds of feet of green vines rise, and the battle forgets the smoke.

One ring after another, it's so natural.

Everything is already a foregone conclusion...

A ruse, just like this, cut down eight people alive. directly broke the situation of the original thirteen sky-high powerhouses.

Now, thirteen goes to eight and five remains. Five-on-two, in fact, the winning chance is quite large.

But...

None of them have the bottom.

Because, the smile that is hanging on Xia Xun's face at this moment is too calm... No one knows how many backhands he still has hidden.

The unknown is the most worrying thing...

"Let's talk how!"

Seeing that the people in the small path did not move, Xia Xun shouted again.

“......”

The shouts echoed through the mountains. The five people on the road were just gloomy and solemn at him, and no one answered.

Xia Xun also seemed to know that they would not reply, and not long after he finished shouting, he continued to shout:

"What I said before still counts. As long as you are willing to rebel, we will not be held accountable. When I return to Yueyang, I will definitely ask the old man of Heaven to take action and remove the poison from your body..."

Halfway through the words, Xia Xun turned one hand into a palm, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Peony, and then shouted: "If you can't believe me, then the Peony girl is here as a guarantee, you won't doubt it, right?"

At the end of the words, there was still silence, and no one answered.

Wudao's eyes looked at Xia Xun gloomily as if he was looking at a fool, and there was no reaction...

"Uh..."

Xia Xun was a little embarrassed. embarrassedly, he scraped the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and at the same time gave the peony a look. He lowered his voice and said, "Eh... Auntie, you have something to say. ”

At this time, the peony still maintained the movements of the battle just now, holding the ground with one hand in a daze. She looked at Xia Xun aggrievedly, and said quietly: "It's useless..."

"What?"

"Those who are seriously injured, I can't smell any other medicinal smells in their flesh and blood except for the few medicinal herbs you fed... They weren't poisoned, and they probably didn't have anything else out of the ordinary. Peony explained.

“......”

Xia Xunleng paused.

He had guessed this answer before. However, now Peony told him that there was nothing abnormal in the bodies of these people. This makes him a little worried...

"Auntie, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Peony turned aggrieved and resentful, and glared: "Before, they didn't hurt the viscera, how can I smell it..."

"Forehead ......"

All right... That's a big deal.

I just shouted the beautiful words of self-righteousness for a long time, and I was tempted for a long time. It turned out that it was all nonsense. It's okay with people at all...

"Uh... It's not poisoned, so it's going to have to be a different trick..."

Xia Xun scratched his hair in embarrassment and muttered.

Then he turned around again, pointed at the eight bloody people who were strung together by the green vines, his expression was fierce, and shouted again: "Listen to me! The lives of these eight people are in our hands." If you don't want to watch them die, give me a quick retreat! When we return to Yueyang safely, we will naturally let them go!"

"Hehe..."

Xia Xun is not suitable for pretending to be ruthless.

After these blunt and cruel words, the enemy was not frightened, but amused his own people.

"Hehe..."Peony really couldn't stop the ringing laughter, and the free slender hand covered her small mouth: "Are you singing a big opera?" Which one is this? haha..."

“......”

Xia Xun pursed the corners of his mouth angrily.

Of course, he knew he was being blunt. Since he was a child, he has never let go of such cruel words, and this is the first time he says it, and he can only read the last paragraph according to the style of the drama in the book.

Who knows, as soon as these words come out, they will really become a singing opera...

It's just that now, if you say it and spill it, you can't get it back. I have to say this cruel thing down...

"Ahem..."

Xia Xun coughed dryly, forcibly endured his red face, and continued to shout: "Did you hear it? If you want to know each other, hurry up and return it to me! Otherwise, don't blame the peony girl for being ruthless..."

The temptation is not coerced, but the coercion may not be eaten by others...

The last word "spicy", Xia Xun hasn't said it yet...

"Puff puff..."

Five figures swept out...

"Attack a thousand butterflies!"
