Chapter 17 The Master in the Forest
Wanyan Ruojin was in a worse situation than those two. She encountered more than one. Those monsters were very cunning and hid in various places to catch them by surprise.
Wanyan Ruojin has a hot-tempered personality and is no longer afraid of fighting hard.
Both swords were unsheathed and sharp. If these monsters weren't pretended to be people, she would definitely be able to chop off their heads. In just a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen monsters were eliminated. She slowly put away the sword and watched.
Looking at the swaying monsters, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Wanyan Ruojin did not feel a sense of accomplishment but felt scared because she knew very well that the real demon would not be defeated so easily and she was not strong enough. Not only her, but other teammates also knew very well that the outside world was far better than the current training.
Be cruel.
Just when everyone was at ease, Tian Zino and Zou Hu encountered a problem. They didn't encounter any monsters, but they encountered a fork in the road.
"Why another fork in the road?" Zou Hu pinched his waist with helpless hands.
Tian Zhinuo was also in trouble. He looked around and suggested: "How about we each go our own way?"
"No!" Zou Hu directly objected, "I promise they will protect you, and we must be together!"
Tian Zino shrugged, sighed, closed his eyes and felt some wind direction, looked at the road on the right and said: "Then let's go this way. According to the wind direction, this way is smoother."
After half an hour, the other three teammates had met, and now they realized that the hostages needed to be rescued together.
Then he looked at the other road and saw no movement, "Let's go rescue the hostages first. That coward Zou Hu should be too slow to die." Wanyan Ruojin's suggestion was affirmed by the other two people.
However, Tian Zhinuo and Zou Hu became more and more confused as they walked. They always felt that the woods were getting deeper and deeper, and it was eerily quiet.
Zou Hu felt the cold wind blowing around, held Tian Zhinuo's arm and looked around, fearful.
There is always a "rustling" sound in the silence.
"Arnold, why do I feel that we are on the wrong track..."
Tian Zhinuo was also timid, but he still walked forward, "Stop!" He suddenly stopped, and Zou Hu was frightened by her sudden voice and jumped up and down, "What's wrong?!"
"Shh, did you hear anything..." Tian Zhinuo closed his eyes and listened carefully. Zou Hu was not in the mood to listen at all, so he just replied with a trembling voice: "Don't scare me!"
"It looks like a snake." Tian Zino opened his eyes, looked around, and saw a long green living thing among the dense leaves, "It's a snake!"
Zou Hu looked in the direction she pointed, and there was more than one. "It's still a poisonous snake!" Zou Hu knew a lot about this kind of thing.
"We seem to have really taken the wrong path. The division commander will definitely not prepare these things..." Tian Zhinuo had an epiphany.
"Then let's go back quickly..." Zou Hu took Tian Zhinuo's arm and wanted to run away, but it was too late. A burst of poisonous powder hit his face, "Poisonous powder?" Zou Hu fainted after saying these two words.
After passing by, Tian Zino held his nose and held on for a while. He vaguely saw a figure, and then he fell backwards with all his limbs.
"How dare a few monsters stop me?" Wanyan Ruojin swung her sword and rushed forward. Before the other two could take action, all the monsters had been eliminated.
"Be careful!" Shao Yu rose into the air, drew his sword and knocked out the trap arrows hidden in the dark for her. He accidentally triggered another trap. Several pieces of gravel struck one after another. Yuchi Cheng drew his bow and shot the arrow.
, saved Shao Yu’s life.
"It seems that we are getting closer to each other~" While Yu Chicheng was speaking, Wanyan Ruojin had already rescued the hostages.
Shao Yu immediately gave the signal, "Let's go."
When they returned, they learned that Tian Zhinuo and Zou Hu had not returned. At first, they just felt that the two people were moving slowly, so they kept waiting, not knowing what happened to them.
When he woke up again, he was woken up by an indescribable fragrance. Zou Hu's body was somewhat immune due to years of practicing poison. He opened his eyes first and looked around vaguely. They were in a strange place.
Inside the house, the surrounding furnishings were very old-fashioned, giving off a sense of staleness. After smelling it carefully, the smell filled the air was like a kind of cartilage. No wonder his limbs were so weak that he couldn't move.
Looking sideways, Tian Zhinuo was still sleeping. He opened his mouth and shouted her name. He didn't wake her up, but attracted people outside.
"What are you shouting for, disturbing my sunbathing!" Hearing the sound first, he saw a man with a white beard who came in. He didn't look too old and had a strong body, but his hair and beard were all white.
Zou Hu couldn't move, so he could only open his eyes and shout: "Who are you? Why are you arresting us?"
The man turned his hand away, took a slight step forward, and asked, "Then why are you invading my territory?"
"We were just walking in the forest, how did we know it was your territory?" Zou Hu's voice was trembling a little because the guy in front of him looked a bit scary.
The man said no more, but took out several medicine bottles from his pocket and shook them in front of Zou Hu.
Zou Hu recognized those medicine bottles and immediately roared: "Those are mine, give them back to me!"
The man took two steps back deliberately and provocatively, and said disdainfully: "Just this thing, you also regard it as a treasure? You really have never seen the world~"
Zou Hu immediately became anxious, and even if he couldn't move, he would use his sharp tongue to seek justice for himself. "You can say that I am ugly and have no courage, but you can never slander the poison I made!"
"Okay, okay, I'll give it back to you. If I hold this crap for a long time, it will stain my hands~" The man walked over and stuffed the medicine bottles into Zou Hu's pocket.
At this time, he suddenly heard Tian Zhinuo groaning in pain twice, and Zou Hu immediately panicked, "Arnold, what's wrong with you?! Arnold, wake up!"
The man coughed twice, deliberately hiding his guilty conscience, and took two steps back.
"Hey! What did you do to her?!" Zou Hu stared at the man fiercely. The man suddenly became serious, tightened his sleeves and said: "To be honest, I am also a poison practitioner, so when you came, you also
I saw that there are many venomous snakes that I raise for the convenience of medicine. But you can rest assured that they have all been professionally trained by me and will never hurt anyone without my permission."
"So?" Zou Hu asked.
"So there are always one or two disobedient ones, do you know what I mean? That's..." Before the man could finish speaking, Zou Hu immediately interrupted, "So Arnold won't be bitten by your poisonous snake, right?"
?!!You grandson! Save her quickly!"
"Ah Hu..." Tian Zhinuo was finally woken up by Zou Hu's loud voice.
"I'm here Arnold, don't be afraid." Zou Hu comforted her with his voice.
The man came over quickly, checked Tian Zino's pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, she is fine now. She just has some side effects of drowsiness. She will be fine after taking two days of medicine."
Tian Zhinuo turned his head slightly, and then realized that he couldn't move, "Why can't I move?"
"I'm afraid that you have evil intentions, so I can only use some means." The man said, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, took out two antidotes and fed them to them, and the two of them recovered in an instant.
Tian Zhinuo was still a little dizzy. If Zou Hu hadn't helped her up, she would have been unsteady.
"So who are you? Why did you go into the woods?" The man didn't think they were bad people.
Zou Hu pointed at his uniform and said, "Can't you see? The students of Tianci Academy are out for practical training today! Who knew they were so unlucky?"
When he said this, it aroused the man's old memories. There was someone who accidentally broke into this place more than ten years ago, and she was wearing the same clothes.
After Tian Zhinuo stood firm, he looked the man up and down. He had white hair and white beard, and he was dressed in a bohemian style. He thought for a while that he liked to raise snakes and make poison, and he lived alone in the woods...
"Poison boy?" Tian Zhinuo blurted out. He looked like the old friend in his mother's diary.
"Do you know me?" The man was shocked. He had been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for twenty years, and this girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Do you know who Tian Yayan is? He shoots an arrow with a bow." Tian Zhinuo seemed to see hope again.
The man was stunned. That was the name of the intruder back then.
"You are?" The man frowned.
Tian Yayan excitedly stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "I am her daughter! Do you know where she went?"
Daughter?! That chivalrous little girl had such a big daughter?!
"I don't know..." The man shook his head. He only knew that the girl told him that she was going to protect the mountains and rivers and change the destiny of mankind.
Tian Zhinuo suffered side effects of drowsiness due to the incomplete elimination of the poison and her emotional excitement. She closed her eyes and fell backwards. Fortunately, Zou Hu caught her.
After settling Tian Zhinuo, Zou Hu came to the yard and saw the guy sitting on a wooden chair basking in the sun.
Naturally, she sat next to him and asked, "Why did Arnold's mother-in-law come here back then?"
The man closed his eyes, and Youyou responded: "Just like you, she broke in by mistake. She was even worse. She was bitten by two venomous snakes. If I hadn't saved her, what would have happened to her daughter?"
Zou Hu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. He guessed that Tian Zhinuo knew all these things and must have recorded them in her mother's diary.
"Why do you want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? I just saw a lot of books on drug making in your room, many of which were written by you yourself, right? If you are so capable, why don't you become a monster hunter?" Zou Hu looked at it with admiration.
The disgust he had just now was gone.
The man sneered, "That girl also asked me this question back then."
"Arnold's mother?" Zou Hu asked.
The man nodded, "I am full of ambition but not strong enough..."
Zou Hu didn't understand, and then focused on his white hair and beard, "You look to be thirty or forty years old, why are your hair and beard so pale?"
The man finally opened his eyes, looking at the dazzling sunlight and recalling his youth. "Do you know how to make poisons and make antidotes?"
Hearing this question, Zou Hu answered smoothly, "It's so boring to make an antidote!"
"When I was young, I had the same idea. Making drugs is exciting, and antidotes will only affect the fun." The man's eyes dimmed, "I can only bear the consequences of being young and frivolous.
