She and Shen Zhiyu exchanged a glance, a serious look flashing in each other's eyes.
The situation changed abruptly, and it became unclear whether they were friend or foe. They no longer had time to think about the causes and consequences.
Shen Zhiyu swiftly and decisively knocked Ye Ying unconscious with a single punch.
The fist, carrying a strong gust of wind, slammed into his temple with a dull thud.
Nighthawk's eyes rolled back, his head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.
Then he quickly took out the prepared milk tablets, broke them into small pieces, and stuffed them into the mouths of the other three people.
As soon as someone was seated, he would unscrew the water bottle he carried with him and slowly pour the clear spring water inside into their mouths.
Water trickled down the corner of his mouth, soaking his collar.
But the Adam's apples bobbed instinctively as they swallowed the life-saving liquid.
Not long after, all three of them also fainted.
It's not that the poisoning has worsened, but rather that the spiritual spring water has stimulated the body's potential, causing it to temporarily enter a deep dormant state to prevent the toxins from spreading further.
Su Qingzhi walked up to Ye Ying, squatted down, and looked at him with a cold gaze.
She used the tip of her knife to pry open his sleeve, easily tearing the fabric to reveal his slightly pale arm underneath.
Sure enough, a cherry blossom-shaped mark was seen on the inside of his arm.
She tied Nighthawk's hands behind his back, wrapped them tightly around his neck, and tied them in a knot. She also bound his feet securely, and finally wrapped the knots around his wrists and ankles several more times to ensure that he had no chance of escaping.
"Either this person was not Nighthawk at all, or he was later controlled by the Japanese."
He knew that Nighthawk had carried out border missions and was very likely to have fallen into enemy hands during one of the operations and been secretly controlled.
Su Qingzhi picked up the dagger and lightly slashed Ye Ying's face.
The blade is extremely thin, and the touch is like the wind brushing past.
But in that instant, blood immediately seeped out, a thin red line winding downwards.
"The skin and flesh are real; it's not a mask."
After she finished speaking, she took out a bag of salt from her bag and sprinkled it directly on the wound.
In an instant, Night Hawk opened his eyes in pain.
The intense pain caused his whole body to convulse, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"ah--"
He screamed in agony, his throat felt like it was being torn apart, he spat out blood and foam, and his teeth chattered.
But when he saw what Su Qingzhi was holding, he grinned, a twisted smile spreading across his face.
"You're a ruthless woman."
Su Qingzhi smiled but did not respond, her expression remaining calm.
With a flick of her wrist, she slashed his face again.
This time it went even deeper, tearing open the flesh and splattering blood.
Then, she grabbed another handful of salt and sprinkled it evenly on the new wound.
Nighthawk clenched his teeth, his muscles tense.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a roar from deep in his throat.
"Killing is fine, but don't torture people, do you understand?"
Su Qingzhi tapped the wound on his face with the back of her knife.
"Don't you find it ridiculous to say such things?"
She was too lazy to beat around the bush and didn't want to waste any more time testing the waters.
Who exactly are you?
Nighthawk didn't answer, but instead asked a question in a weak but provocative voice.
"How come you weren't poisoned?"
Su Qingzhi tilted her head, blinked, and smiled slightly with a hint of amusement.
Why should I tell you? Do you think I'd be stupid enough to just tell you my secrets so easily?
Nighthawk was so angry he was panting heavily, and it took him a while to force himself to calm down.
"I can answer one of your questions, but you have to answer one of mine. Fair trade, how about it?"
"Okay, you go first."
Su Qingzhi crossed her arms.
"I am Nighthawk."
"now you."
"We are both immune to all poisons."
Su Qingzhi spoke slowly and steadily.
Nighthawk stared at her, his brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed to slits, and his face full of suspicion.
"You're kidding me, who would believe such nonsense?"
Su Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.
"You weren't telling the truth either, were you? You know exactly what I'm asking. Don't try to play tricks on me; we both know what's going on."
"I really am Nighthawk."
His voice had become somewhat hoarse when he finished speaking.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he didn't say another word.
The silvery moonlight that had been filtering through the woods was gradually swallowed by darkness.
Shixin Peak was completely swallowed by darkness, and the surrounding silence was almost suffocating.
Only the intermittent chirping of insects could be heard from deep within the grass.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes overhead, and the branches and leaves swayed slightly.
Everyone immediately tensed up, their muscles tightened instantly, their ears perked up, and their eyes all scanned upwards.
At such a critical moment, even the sound of a leaf falling to the ground cannot be ignored.
Just as the last ray of moonlight was completely obscured by dark clouds.
A rain of hidden weapons suddenly "fell" in the woods.
Dozens of needles, as thin as cow's hair, shot down from the dense foliage.
Shen Zhiyu reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively grabbing Ye Ying lying next to him and pulling him up abruptly, using his own body as a shield to block Su Qingzhi.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Immediately following were a series of muffled thuds.
All the poisoned needles pierced the Nighthawk's body.
Nighthawk shuddered violently, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
He looked down, staring incredulously at the poisoned needles embedded in his chest.
“You guys are so heartless... I’m one of our own…” But no one had time to respond to him.
The battle erupted in an instant, and life and death hung in the balance.
"Little Bear, watch these three on the ground!"
