C389 Toxicosis
C389 Toxicosis
There was a mechanism there, and after it was triggered, all the nearby tunnels would close. The deadly poison gas would fill every corner and this would be their burial ground.
"Bastard, you dare to speak to me like that." Qing Hong swung her sword horizontally and a stream of blood spurted out from Zhuge Bai's neck. Just a little more and it would have ended her life.
"Qing Hong, step down." Huang Ji pressed his hand on her shoulder. The latter's body shuddered and immediately dropped his hand.
"Servant." Zhuge Bai sneered and walked towards the pillar. The moment he stretched out his arm, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
"Stop!" Ceng Yin hurried over and shouted at Zhuge Bai, "Zhuge, do you know what you are doing?"
"No need for you to care, you chased me out of the team, are you not allowing me to find my own way out?" Zhuge Bai was still acting, he slapped his palm on the pillar and shouted: "All of you, get close to me, the shortcut is about to open up."
As soon as he said that, the ground started to shake. Qing Hong immediately dragged the idiot and ran towards Zhuge Bai. However, Wu Tie glanced at Ceng Yin and grabbed at him, "You, too!"
A terrifying suction force exploded from his palm. Even though Ceng Yin tried his best to resist, he was still forced into the area of the poison chamber.
Seeing this, Zhuge Bai's heart was burning with anxiety. The palm he pressed on the column immediately felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He only needed to lift up his hand to sentence Ceng Yin to death.
"What's wrong? "Why don't you continue? Or do you mean, when you raise your hand, something will happen?" Huang Ji stared at Zhuge Bai with a dagger-like gaze. The suction force on his palm suddenly increased and Ceng Yin got closer to them.
"Zhuge!" Ceng Yin shouted with all his might, "Let go, don't think about me."
"No, no!" Tears suddenly appeared in Zhuge Bai's eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Face of generosity, your fate is good. Let go of this palm and you will all be buried with me. Now scram. Before I change my mind, scram!"
"Hmph, you woman." Qing Hong was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Once Zhuge Bai died, it would probably trigger a fatal trap.
"Let's go."
Huang Ji immediately made up his mind. He grabbed Qing Hong and the idiot separately and rushed out of the circular area in a split-second. He then threw a backhand attack towards Zhuge Bai.
"You dare to lie to me? Die!"
As he roared, countless notes turned into a huge crimson snake. In an instant, it pierced through Zhuge Bai's chest.
"Zhuge!" Ceng Yin shouted, trying to charge.
"Go, go quickly! While I can still hold on, get the hell out of my way!" Zhuge Bai spat out a mouthful of blood. Even with his life saving equipment, he was still unable to defend against this kind of attack. He pressed his arm against the pillar and only left his back to Ceng Yin.
"If you escape, tell my father to kill that old dog for me." Zhuge Bai said while trembling.
"Don't worry, we will avenge you." Ceng Yin shouted as he clenched his teeth, turned around and ran out.
Huang Ji stared at the scene in front of him coldly. After hearing Zhuge Bai's insults, he snorted and used his Heavenly Note Force to slap Zhuge Bai again. This time, the huge snake that exploded had blown her back apart, causing her to lose her last bit of strength.
Rumble … More rumbling came from the ground, and falling boulders appeared at the entrance to the tunnel.
"Damn it!" Ceng Yin lowered his head and sprinted forward. He chose a passageway that was far away from Huang Ji and dived down.
Almost at the same moment he left, an afterimage streaked across the other tunnel. Wu Shuang, with his long hair fluttering in the wind, suddenly appeared behind Zhuge Bai. The moment he touched her with his palm, she disappeared into his hand.
"A generous face. I will remember this enmity!" Wu Shuang glared at Huang Ji and escaped from the circular area before the poison gas spread.
Whoosh!
The thick toxic gas spread out and even Huang Ji had to take a step back. The huge rock in front of him fell down and completely sealed the circular area. Wisps of poisonous gas spread out from the huge rock, corroding countless small holes on the ground.
"You do not know how to appreciate favors. Milord, that boy has humiliated your dignity to such an extent. He absolutely cannot be forgiven." Qing Hong gritted her teeth. Suddenly, the idiot next to her looked at her and said, "Hey, my wife, why is your face so green?"
"Shut up, I dare you to …" Before Qing Hong could finish her sentence, she felt a sudden pain in her throat, as if a ball of cotton was stuck in her throat, followed by a burning pain all over her body.
"I was too careless." Huang Ji shook his head. He took out an all-purpose serum and injected it into Qing Hong's shoulder. Unexpectedly, her breathing became more rapid and her face turned purple.
"S-Lord, save me!"
Qing Hong reached out her hand to grab Huang Ji. The latter frowned and sent a strand of Heavenly Energy into her body. Then, a look of shock appeared on her face.
"How is this possible? To think that the duration of the poison would exceed an hour. Even though he only came into contact with the poison, why is he poisoned so deeply?" No, I must have miscalculated something! "
Huang Ji's mind raced. While he was still thinking, the living idiot also fell down, foaming at the mouth. His body couldn't stop twitching. He was so shocked that he immediately reached out and found out that his level of poisoning was almost the same as Qing Hong's.
"An hour ago, could it be that..." Huang Ji quickly came to his senses and angrily said: "Damn it, this is the punishment in the case of greed. But why? It took so long for it to come out? Could it be because we came in contact with poison?"
While answering his own question, Huang Ji had cleared his cause and effect. After checking himself, he found a trace of a foreign body hidden in his blood vessels. Unless his whole body was rejuvenated, there was no way to remove it.
As if sensing Huang Ji's probing, the foreign body started to move rapidly along his blood stream. Everywhere it passed, it was as if tens of thousands of ants were nibbling on it. Huang Ji groaned in pain and covered his chest with one hand.
"I won't let you down, stop right there."
Huang Ji quickly circulated all the Heavenly Sound Force in his body and pressed it into his heart meridian. This way, his blood vessels would be broken inch by inch, but he was still able to suppress it down to his chest before the foreign object could reach his heart.
Huang Ji breathed heavily and stood up straight as if there was a monkey trapped in his chest. The foreign object inside was trying to break through the blockade, so Huang Ji had to increase the checks and balances, and 40% of his power was used to suppress it.
"There's no danger for now." Huang Ji looked at his two men. The effect of the poison gradually weakened. The two struggled to get up, but there was a hint of purple in the blood vessels on their faces. It was not a good sign.
Qing Hong glanced at the purple color on the dumb guy's face and immediately touched her face in fright. She clearly felt the blood vessels on her face getting thicker, but they were still pulsing.
"No, no, I don't want to become like this." For the first time, Qing Hong showed her womanly side, covering her face with her hands as if she was about to cry.
Huang Ji glanced at them expressionlessly and said, "Let's go, we have to hurry and leave the maze. Before that, remember not to get infected by any poison."
Qing Hong was still immersed in great fear. Even though she was walking, her head was filled with bad thoughts.
