Chapter 997 I poisoned him to death
When the attackers saw the ball glowing, they assumed someone had thrown out all the flashbangs in a moment of panic.
But when the ball exploded, they realized they were wrong. It wasn't a flashbang at all; it was clearly a small explosive device!
Most importantly, this thing looks small, but its destructive power after exploding is much greater than they expected.
Before this, they had considered using explosives to bombard this thing, but the insect trap had somehow evolved into something that even gunpowder couldn't penetrate it, and they couldn't even scratch it.
But now, this bomb, the size of a small steel ball, has left the mutated pitcher plant battered and bruised, with blisters forming on its surface.
The intense pain caused the pitcher plant to curl up completely. If pitcher plants didn't lack vocal glands and be unable to make a sound, their screams would have echoed throughout the area.
The fugitives, along with Xiao Jihui behind the camera, were stunned by this sudden turn of events, until Jun Wuduan's voice came from the video.
"Mr. Xiao, it's time to help."
Xiao Jihui then noticed that Jun Wuduan and the others had somehow gotten ahead, and were less than a hundred meters away from the outer edge of the pitcher plant.
Thinking back to that unknown sphere, a bold idea suddenly came to Xiao Jihui's mind, but...
"Help...help me?" Help with what? You don't look like you need help right now!
"Don't let anyone take pictures of our faces. Fourth brother, let's go!"
As soon as Xiang Yueqi finished speaking, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and a blurry figure rushed out like a sharp sword.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a row of gleaming longswords appear behind the man.
Many people stared in surprise, some even rubbing their eyes in disbelief, only to find that another row had appeared behind him.
"!!!" What's going on? Where did these swords come from?
Before anyone could think further, the boy raised his right hand, and the swords, as if they had a mind of their own, flew forward with a whoosh, heading straight for... the mutated pitcher plant.
A burst of sword light flashed, leaving everyone dazzled and unable to keep up with the swords' movements.
After shaking my head for a while, I looked again and found that the pitcher plant was gone, replaced by a ground covered with plant debris.
Everyone: "..." Good heavens, this is practically a death sentence!
Xiao Jihui, who had just doubted the abilities of the others, suddenly felt a pang of pain in his face.
Xiao Jihui, who brought the person, was just as dazed as the others, but he quickly came to his senses and turned to look at the boat-shaped aconite.
Upon closer inspection, they saw the small, helpless, and pitiful purple flower sway weakly in the wind for a couple of moments before falling off the security window and remaining motionless.
Xiao Jihui: "???" What's going on? Is he faking his death? Or did he see his accomplice die so horribly that he scared himself to death?
Xiao Jihui was filled with questions. He didn't care whether the aconite was not completely dead or whether it was dangerous. He hurriedly chased after it to find out what was going on.
Seeing this, Captain Liu was worried that something might happen to him, so he quickly followed him over.
When Jun Wuduan saw Xiao Jihui, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Fourth brother doesn't know his own strength. Why don't you try these herbal juices? The ingredients should be the same."
Xiao Jihui was slightly taken aback, and it took him a moment to realize that someone had been careless and accidentally shredded the mutated pitcher plant into pieces, leaving only the sap. They could take it back and maybe the research institute could discover something from it.
Xiao Jihui: "..." Why do I hear such a strong Versailles vibe in his words? They've been struggling for so long, and you guys finished it off in no time, chopping it into pieces.
Sure enough, even with firearms, these martial artists can't beat these cultivators?
Xiao Jihui took a deep breath, suppressing his inner complaints, and smiled slightly, "It's alright, it's alright, you've already helped a lot. To deal with these things, they should be absolutely dead! And that aconite over there, isn't it also…?"
"Hmm, fight poison with poison, they were poisoned to death by me." After all, he was the number one pharmacist in the cultivation world; poisoning a few small poisonous flowers was no difficult task for him.
"!!!" How could it be fighting poison with poison? When exactly did you make that move? How come they didn't see it? And this poison is so potent that even a tiny bit can kill you. What kind of deadly poison did you use to fight poison with poison? It's even more potent than this!
Xiao Jihui took several breaths to calm down, and looked at Jun Wuduan as if he were looking at some terrifying and dangerous element.
Jun Wuduan didn't care. He glanced at Xiang Yueqi, who had been standing silently watching the show since losing the ball, and his fourth junior brother, who had sheathed his sword and was now silently leaning against the side as a background character.
He smiled faintly and said, "Now that the situation here has been resolved, we won't disturb Mr. Xiao's follow-up work any longer."
Xiao Jihui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although he was very grateful for the help of these gentlemen, it was their first time meeting.
He wasn't as familiar with these people as he was with Ye Wanxi and the other two. If it were Ye Wanxi and the other two, it would be fine, since they had already left their names on the list, making it easier for him to explain.
These few in front of us are probably not so simple.
Xiao Jihui felt a headache whenever he thought about the aftermath.
"Then I will..."
Xiao Jihui was about to see the group off and focus on dealing with the trivial matters at hand when his phone suddenly rang. The caller was his father.
"Hey, Dad. Yes, I'm in the city center now. With the help of a master, it's been resolved. I'm just about to have people evacuate the crowd and take the injured to the hospital. What? There's one in S City too! Great, great, I'll send people over right away."
As Xiao Jihui spoke, his face turned deathly pale. As soon as he hung up the phone, he looked at the group with a look of fear on his face and pleaded, "Mr. Jun, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight."
After a large-scale plant mutation occurred in City A, similar anomalies appeared in City S, which was quite far away from their hometown.
However, unlike City A, the mutation in City S is not in plants, but in animals.
The incident occurred in the kitchen of a dog meat hot pot restaurant in a farmers' market in S City. Because it was late at night, there weren't many people in the restaurant. However, the mutated dog was much more ferocious than a normal dog. It tore open the cloth bag containing it and ran out. After attacking the people in the restaurant, it ran out and attacked people nearby.
"An investigation revealed that this dog is very likely a stray that has not been quarantined. In order to save money, the shop owner deliberately had it caught randomly from outside, so this dog is very likely... to have rabies."
