Chapter 14: Poisoning
Chapter 14 Poisoning
The first night passed peacefully.
The morning daylight, through the treetops, spilled into the woods.
“It’s finally dawn ……”
Prince Lin hadn’t slept well all night, and had been scared at night, but now he finally let go and said towards Li An:
“Why don’t you go eat first? I’ll keep watch here.”
They couldn’t live at night, so the two could only stagger their time during the day and go back to their residence to eat.
Having not eaten any water or rice from last night until now, Prince Lin was already very hungry, but he was still prepared to keep watch for a little while longer, waiting for Li An to finish eating himself.
Although in his heart he hated Li PiPi very much, he clearly understood the difference in status between each other, and was somewhat afraid of Li An, subconsciously wanting to curry favor.
Li An, however, said, “You go first.”
Generally speaking, if Fan Jie stayed overnight at Zhang Susu’s place, he would have to get up at noon to return to the mountain.
When Prince Lin heard this, he was overjoyed and said, “Okay, I’ll be right back after dinner, there will be no delay!”
He limped away.
Li An looked at his back, but he couldn’t help but frown.
It wasn’t easy to let this guy live.
He got up and wandered around once more.
Not far to the left of the shack, in a jumble of rocks, there was a hidden hole in the ground, seven or eight meters deep.
From the shack, taking a safe route to escape, one could quickly jump into this hole in the ground to hide.
On the right side was a small mountain stream with a pool of water, enough for a person to crouch in it and with a straw pipe to breathe, it would be hard to be discovered.
Further back in the woods there is a thick old tree with many branches and leaves, which is also safer to climb.
But the previous preconceptions were all for when he was alone, and now he had to retrace his steps through the various routes and begin to deduce where it would be most appropriate to take a cripple with him ……
He deliberately let Prince Lin follow him, because Prince Lin was useful alive!
After having an idea in his mind, Li An suddenly walked back to the spirit bells laid down by Fan Jie, carefully untied the rope and collected some of the spirit bells, then quickly scurried deeper into the dense forest.
Thanks to his exploration some time ago, he was fast enough to dive eight miles away, then found a few key places to tie up these spirit bells.
The sound of the spirit bells could spread over a distance of ten miles, but with the trees in the middle, eight miles was almost the limit.
If something really happened, he would be able to know in advance from eight miles away.
This distance …… is enough for him to do a lot of things.
Moreover, according to Li An’s deduction, the spirit bells were arranged here, and there was a certain deterrent effect on the incoming enemies.
After all, the other party found out that this mountain forest actually laid the spirit bell, most likely will be vigilant and careful, thus slowing down ……
Li An’s time will be more generous.
……
Near noon, Prince Lin hurried back, embarrassed:
“Immortal Fan asked me to empty the toilet and wash the sheets for them, so I’m sorry for the delay.”
Over the past one or two years, Prince Lin, in addition to traveling clouds and raining labor, also burdened with all kinds of miscellaneous work, pouring the toilet for him Fan Jie and Zhang Susu, washing clothes, and so on, doing everything.
“Uh-huh.”
Li An didn’t say anything and got up to leave.
……
Returning to the bottom of Spirit Plant Mountain, to Li An’s surprise, Fan Jie actually hadn’t left yet.
Inside the next room, Zhang Susu’s voice was muffled!
Fan Jie this bastard, could it be that he thinks that Zhang Susu will also die in this big game, so he is taking advantage of the people before they die?
This ridiculous thought flashed by, and Li An quickly had figured out the truth: Fan Jie should be frantically detoxing.
Although he had temporarily found a way to suppress the fire poison, it was still in danger at any time, and the only thing Fan Jie could do was to try to expel it into Zhang Susu’s body.
Li An washed the pot to cook, after eating, he began to boil “insecticide soup”.
The strong odor quickly spread.
“Damn you, why are you cooking s soup again?!”
Fan Jie kicked open Li An’s door, his pants belt not even fastened, and asked angrily.
“Immortal long, there are too many mosquitoes inside the woods, and I can t sleep at night …… I cook some soup to kill the mosquitoes.”
Li An said, “Sorry sorry sorry.”
Fan Jie was furious, but had no choice but to say, “Cook faster!”
Then he turned around and hurried up the mountain.
Can’t stay here, can’t stay at all ah!
Not long after Fan Jie left.
Zhang Susu sneakily ran into Li Anju’s house, her eyes were filled with tears, and the redness on her face looked like it was about to turn into patches.
“Li An, I’m dying, I’m dying from him ……”
She said miserably, “He came down the mountain early this morning, like he was crazy, eight times, eight times!”
“I feel like so many places on my body are on fire, it hurts so much …… You save me!”
Li An Xin was moved, “He didn’t come last night?”
“Yes, he came during the day ……”
Li An thought for a moment, it seems that Fan Jie can also think that the enemy’s sneak attack will definitely be carried out at night, so he should be guarding the mountain at night, and only dared to go down the mountain to find Zhang Susu’s detoxification in the daytime.
He said with difficulty, “Sister Susu, I’m really not very sure about your disease ……”
Zhang Susu sniffed, but she heard Li An’s words, and directly knelt in front of Li An, “Li An, whatever method you have, feel free to use it, I don’t blame you, I don’t blame you!”
Li An reluctantly nodded, “Alright.”
He took out a small packet of black powder from his bosom – it was ground from two grains of Miscellaneous Spirit Pills. “While he’s not around, melt this powder with water and rub it on the most painful spots on your body right now.”
“The most painful location?”
Zhang Susu was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, her face reddened even more as she nodded and said, “Good.”
She took Li An’s black medicinal powder and gratefully said, “Li An, thank you!”
“You saved my life, in the future I will treat you like my own brother, and I will give you all my extra harvest!”
After saying that, she was ready to turn around and leave.
“No, right here! Hurry up!”
Li An, however, spoke calmly.
He had to make sure that Zhang Susu had applied the medicine well.
Zhang Susu’s face showed a look of humiliation, but she still gritted her teeth, and instantly unzipped her pants while saying, “You make it quicker, Fan Jie will be coming down the mountain soon ……”
Li An was stunned, and hurriedly stopped her, and said towards the large wooden barrel he used for bathing in the room, “Go over there, get it yourself!”
Zhang Susu was stunned for a moment, her face instantly turned even redder, so she was wrong about Li An’s intentions ……
She hurriedly used a bowl to catch some water, and then hid behind the wooden barrel.
Li An didn’t look back, he didn’t panic as he boiled the medicine.
“This medicine is colorless and tasteless, it doesn’t feel at all when applied, Li An, does it really work?”
Zhang Susu put on her pants and walked out, but there was some apprehension in her eyes.
Li An said, “I don’t know, Sister Susu, you should go back.”
“Remember, don’t tell him about this, you don’t want Fan Jie to know either, you’ve been here, right?”
Zhang Susu nodded heavily, “I understand.”
After she left, Li An got up, rinsed the bowl she used with water a few times, confirming that no traces were left behind, before he took the soup and medicine that had been simmering on the fire, and put it into a wooden bucket, carrying it out the door in preparation for his departure.
“Right.”
Li An suddenly reminded again, “Sister Susu, if you have nothing else to do, you can go and pick more green lotus leaves, that thing is good for you, just be careful, the silt inside is very deep, no one will find out after you fall in.”
Zhang Susu was a bit puzzled, she just nodded casually and left.
……
Evening came quickly.
Li An took Prince Lin and splashed tonics around.
After these tonics were boiled and cooled, the stench was no longer strong, but it would still be pungent to wild beasts, spirit beasts, and the like!
It could, to a certain extent, restrict the routes of some spirit beasts.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
……
“Li An, do you think there will really be danger here?”
As night fell, Prince Lin, whose fear of Li An had gradually dissipated a bit after spending time with him over the past few days, said:
“What should I do if there’s a tiger or something like that ……”
Li An closed his eyes and rested his mind, his Super Sense Skill was utilized to the extreme, his ears detecting the subtle movements coming from the air, ignoring him.
“I actually really regret, I shouldn’t have come to the Xuan Yang Sect, how good to stay at home in the first place, I still have a younger sister, just seven years old, she’s so cute, staying at home will help my parents to take care of her, and every year, although farming has a hard time, it’s not as bad as it is now ……”
Prince Lin rambled, “Now the leg is broken, two years or refining Qi layer, if my parents know I live so miserable, they will be sad into what ……”
Saying this, he couldn’t help but sob.
“Shut up!”
Suddenly, Li An snapped his eyes open.
“Huh? What …… happened?”
Prince Lin was alarmed, “Don’t scare me …… The spirit bell didn’t ring.”
Li An cloth in eight miles away from the spirit bell, the sound is transmitted here, has been extremely weak, as if the insects chirping, Prince Lin can not hear at all!
“I seem to have heard the sound of some kind of foreign beast …… Escape, quickly escape!”
Li An, however, did not hesitate, grabbing Prince Lin and pulling him to rush out of the shack, running towards the side of the chaotic pile of rocks.
Only after rushing out a few dozen steps, Li An suddenly lost his footing, pulling Prince Lin along with him as he fell into the hole in the ground.
After hitting the stone wall in the hole in the ground and landing at the bottom, Li An instantly fainted.
“Li An ……”
Prince Lin also hit the ground and tried to stand up, but the back of his head suddenly looked like it had been hit by a stone, and he fainted as his eyes went black.
After he collapsed.
Li An, however, snapped his eyes open, then leapt and rushed out of the cave.
“Eight miles, a quarter of an hour, that’s enough!”
–The enemy attacked, and the ones that hit the head were definitely lower-ranked spirit beasts, coupled with the thorns and dense forests in the mountains and forests, and the gullies and mountains blocking the way, Li An had deduced that from the place where the spirit bells were deployed to the place where he and the prince’s forest hid, it would be about this time.
In fact, when the spirit bell rang, the enemy would most likely be startled and slow down in order to investigate, Li An would have more time to act.
But he only gave himself a quarter of an hour!
It had to be done within a quarter of an hour!
Li An turned around and rushed in the direction of Spirit Plant Mountain, his figure was practically like a panther, darting through the forest and disappearing in the blink of an eye!
