C429 meetings
"Big brother Old Yan, what should we do?" Old Lv whispered. If the enemy was a close-combat expert, the two might still be able to fight, but the enemy was a poison master, which was the equivalent of a hedgehog covered in venom, and its whole body was covered in thorns. Even if they wanted to get close to the enemy, they had to worry about being stabbed by the poison.
"You can't use a close-combat method, and you can't have any contact with the thing he threw out!" The Old Yan replied with a serious expression. The best way was to avoid them, but this idea was too ideal. A person who was good at poisoning had countless ways to poison his enemies, so it wasn't easy to defend against the poison.
"We can't touch it, and we can't fight it. What should we do?" Old Lv said frantically.
"I still have to think of a way to escape!" The Old Yan said confidently.
"Run? How could he run? If we go together, we might be able to hold on for a little longer, and one of us can probably be poisoned by him in a few rounds. No matter how fast the other person is, he'll catch up to us before he can reach five kilometers, and then, forget about escaping, even with wings, he won't be able to escape! " Old Lv retorted somewhat helplessly.
Putting aside the other party's ability, just the poison method alone was already enough to make people unable to guard against him. Furthermore, without a horse to take the lead, under the circumstance of endurance, whether the two of them would be able to safely return to the city was a big problem. Perhaps, they would be completely solved by someone on the way.
"Then we still have to think of a way to escape. This is our mission. The hall master and his brothers are still waiting for us to bring people back to help!" Old Yan also frowned. He was not completely sure about the method of escape, but he had to do this as well. Old Yan felt that he had encountered a huge problem.
"But the problem is how to escape?" Old Lv miserably replied.
"Oh yeah, did you bring the Sky Tremor Bomb?" Old Yan suddenly asked.
The so called Sky Tremor Bomb was actually a type of hand holding firecracker. It could shoot out certain types of decorative flowers at the sky, allowing people within a radius of five kilometers to see everything clearly, and those within five kilometers to understand the meaning of the ceremonial flowers, must be the members of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
"I brought it with me. Do you want to use that to send a message? "There's no need to think about it. I've already gotten wet on the way here. The Sky Tremor Bombs wrapped in kraft paper are all on horseback. I don't think I can find them now!" Old Lv nodded helplessly as he replied.
"Damn it, the heavens want us to die!" Old Yan cursed.
Originally, Old Yan had planned to buy some time. Even if Old Lv could only run ten miles away from Phoenix Creek Town during this time, and then ignite the Sky Tremor Bomb, this would at least ensure that the comrades of the Listening Rain Pavilion in the city would see the signal.
"Why don't we just fight it out with him!" At most, even if he were to die, he wouldn't leave the other party with his back! "Even if you die, you have to face up. That's what a man should be!" Old Lv suggested.
"If we all die, what about the mission?" Old Yan replied with a bit of sternness.
"This..." Old Lv was speechless, that's right, what about the mission, this mission was a matter of life and death for many people, including the hall master.
"Let's go according to our original plan. You leave by yourself and I'll deal with him!" Old Yan clenched his teeth and said.
Old Yan's idea was very simple. To be able to ensure one's survival was one person, at least there was hope, it was better than being left alone with two.
"No, with his ability, how long can you last?" Old Lv shook his head and objected.
"As long as you can guard it!" If you have no other choice, choose a small path. Even if you have to take a detour, you must bring back the news. Remember, do not take the main road! " Old Yan answered with a firm tone.
"Big brother Old Yan ?" Old Lv still wanted to answer.
"Enough, cut the crap. I will shout for you to leave later. You must leave immediately!" Otherwise there will be no chance! " Old Yan nodded and interrupted him.
"Are you discussing who will die first? Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble, I'm sure I can kill you both at the same time! " The transvestite interrupted their conversation at an inopportune moment.
"Cut the crap. If you have the ability, don't use poison. Let's fight one-on-one!" Old Yan provoked the spirit demon.
"Ha!" How interesting! If you have the ability, then you can turn in the gun first and then go to the brothel! If you can do it, we'll fight it out! " The transvestite covered his mouth and laughed twice before speaking with a seductive tone. It was the kind of coquettish tone that only women would have when teasing men.
"Being a transvestite and being able to produce such a shameless charm, you are truly competent! "Go to hell!" The Old Yan scoffed, and with that, he turned into a wild horse, raising his weapon and rushing towards the transvestite.
"You're the one who's going to die!" The transvestite replied in a delicate voice, and then laughed mockingly as he ran towards Old Yan.
The Old Yan's sword palace charged straight in front of the transvestite, like a brave warrior fearlessly rushing forward. However, how laughable was this in the eyes of a transvestite? When facing an expert who used poison, no one would choose such a stupid method of attack. This wasn't an attack, or more accurately speaking, this was a death sentence!
But the Old Yan had chosen to attack in such a foolish manner! Was he really going to die? Seeing his resolute expression, Old Lv couldn't help but feel excited.
There were many ways to die, but every way had to have a certain meaning. To die for the sake of ideals, to die for the sake of dreams, or to die for the sake of others, to die for the sake of sacrifice, in short, one had to have a reason to live on in order to live on.
The transvestite would not care what method of death his opponent had chosen. Since he dared to come towards him, he must be prepared to accept the cruelest method of death! As an expert poison user, other than killing people, there was also the method of death, which made the opponent unable to choose.
The transvestite did not act immediately. He was waiting, waiting for the other party to enter his attack range, when he would no longer be able to dodge. That would be the time when he would make his move!
He was getting closer and closer. He was about to enter the attacking range.
Just at this moment, Old Yan who was rushing over strangely placed his other hand behind him. This tiny movement was seen by the transvestite, but he couldn't figure out what the transvestite wanted to do, so he didn't have much time to think or judge, because the Old Yan was already close to the transvestite, if the transvestite hesitated any longer, the result would probably not be good.
"Hmph, who cares what it is? It will also result in his death without a burial ground! " Thinking up to here, the transvestite was no longer worried. No matter what the other party had prepared, would it still be able to block his poison?
The transvestite looked at Old Yan who was getting closer and closer. With a raise of his hand, a powder was sent out. Although the powder was white in color, everyone knew that they would die on the spot if they came into contact with even a little bit of it.
Old Yan was not an idiot. He wouldn't just rush forward like a tornado, in the first round he was killed by his opponent. Not only would that not serve as a cover for Old Lv's retreat, it would also cause the already-pessimistic situation to plummet even further. Since he was prepared to stop the enemy, he had no choice but to use wits.
Seeing the Spirit Demon taking action, Old Yan laughed in his heart, the other party was waiting for him to come knocking, and he was waiting for the other party to take action. Just as the transvestite raised his hand and scattered the powder, Old Yan took out a bottle gourd from his back and used his inner force to push the bottle gourd out. The bottle gourd suddenly exploded before the powder could reach it, and the water in the bottle gourd shot out in all directions, straight towards the white powder that was flying towards him.
After all, the water was heavy and the powder was light. The water droplets that flew in all directions immediately covered the powder back, accurately landing on the transvestite's body and face.
"Ah ?" "Damn it!" The sound of a scream accompanied by a pout.
Of course, it was not over yet. Old Yan tapped his toes on the ground repeatedly, every time he lifted his foot, it would bring up pieces of soil and silt, and all of the soil that he called up was all lifted up by the transvestite. Especially his face, it made it so that even if the transvestite wanted to take measures to dispel the poison, he would not be able to do anything.
After all of this, the Old Yan shouted to the Old Lv, "Old Lv, let's go!"
"Let's go together!" When he heard Old Yan's call for him to run, he quickly took a few steps and ran to Old Yan's side, grabbing his hand as he ran towards the only horse.
The reason why it was lying on the ground was most likely because of that unknown snake. At this time, the little snake had already returned to the side of the demon, and because of the Old Yan's strange move, not only was it helpless, it was even able to hide. Thus, the horse had already returned back to its original state.
Without a second word, Old Lv mounted his horse. Then, he grabbed onto Old Yan's arm and used a bit of force to pull Old Yan behind him. He immediately urged the horse to move forward, and didn't even have time to look at the transvestite.
The sound of horse hooves slowly disappeared into the distance. After a long time, the transvestite regained its strength and took out a few antidotes and ate them. Then, it took out some water from its body and started to wash its face and wounds that had been corroded by the poisonous water.
The wound was very large, covering almost the entire upper body, but the injury was not serious. Furthermore, the transvestite was sure that he had already been disfigured. How could he endure the pain of disfiguring someone when he valued his appearance? At this moment, the transvestite wished he could hack the two of them into a thousand pieces.
For one, he had to be thankful that he had spent all his life with the poisonous substance. Moreover, his body was more or less tainted with some of the poisonous substance, which slowly accumulated in his body, forming an antibody against poison. Secondly, the poison powder that had been scattered had been covered by a large amount of water. Many of the poison powder had been diluted after fusing with water, so the toxicity would decrease by quite a bit.
Even if the poison was diluted down, coupled with the toxic substances in the body of the transvestite, it would not take away the life of the transvestite if they were combined together. It would be hard to bear the burning pain from the corrosion, not to mention there being disfigurement.
