Chapter 116 Chapter 118
Yu Dian swallowed back what he was about to say, feeling powerless.
Although the poisoned man was Deacon Wei's subordinate, they were colleagues after all. Now this man was only poisoned and not dead. If he could ask for an antidote, his life could be saved. If he was left to fend for himself at this time, the outcome could be imagined.
Although Yu Dian's men could understand his actions for the sake of the mission, they still felt sympathetic and their morale was low for a while.
Yu Dian's men dragged the poisoned man to the outskirts of the camp.
Yu Dian no longer had the heart to probe and inquire, and returned to their tent area listlessly.
"Sister Rong, today's game is not very clever. Why does it feel like it starts off well but ends badly?" Wang Lin said in confusion. Fortunately, he did not agree to the conditions of the Ninth Young Master. Look, he does not need the help of the Ninth Young Master. Isn't the problem solved?
"The military doctor today was very interesting. He led the way from the beginning, linking oral poisons with acquaintances committing crimes. Let's not talk about whether we can accurately determine the type of poison and the route of administration just by looking at the state of the corpse. With the ability of current practitioners, strangers may not be unable to do it." Ordinary people may not understand that Rong Xianxian is also a medical major and an expert in using poisons. Zhuo Xingcan's inference may be somewhat reliable in the past when poisons were controlled. But now? It's very far-fetched.
But it was obvious that he wanted to pick Rong Xianxian out from the very beginning. Although Rong Xianxian didn't know the reason, she was very grateful in her heart and naturally didn't say much.
"Then Sister Rong, who do you think did this? Was it someone you know?" Wang Lin looked at Rong Xianxian curiously. He always felt that Sister Rong seemed to know something!
"Of course he's an acquaintance." Rong Xianxian looked at Wang Lin with amusement. The fact that there were no signs of struggle or fighting at the scene showed that it was very likely that the crime was committed by an acquaintance.
Cui Lie frowned, his expression slightly cold, "I wonder if we can catch the murderer?"
He looked at Rong Xianxian, "How about I go over and find out?"
"No need to go. There is insufficient evidence and we cannot convict the case." Rong Xianxian thought about some of the case details she had heard before and said with a smile.
It seems that someone among the mercenaries is protecting Ji Cunxi and is willing to give false testimony for him.
So was this situation today Ji Cunxi's own doing or was it a conspiracy with others?
"We will arrive at the Binyang Safety Zone tomorrow. I will be on duty for the first half of the night. Everyone should go to bed early." Rong Xianxian now feels very passive and thinks it is safer to improve her strength. She plans to study the "Wind Control Method" and the Vajra Talisman while on duty.
"The Wind Controlling Technique" is a skill book for practicing body movements. Rong Xianxian has already figured it out. Unlike "The Art of Light Body" which can be practiced without spiritual energy, "The Wind Controlling Technique" has a great demand for spiritual energy. Even though Rong Xianxian now has such an abundant amount of spiritual energy, she can still clearly feel the consumption of spiritual energy.
The insect repellent that Rong Xianxian set up around the camp not only drives away poisonous insects such as centipedes, snakes, and scorpions, but also eliminates mosquitoes, flies, fleas, and katydids that are common in summer.
The bodies of the six vehicles were still covered with poison and no one dared to approach.
From time to time, screams or sounds of fighting caused by monster attacks could be heard from other camps, but it was unusually quiet on Rong Xianxian's side.
Rong Xianxian sat on the roof of the car and copied the drawing method of the Vajra Talisman over and over again in her mind. After an unknown amount of time, Rong Xianxian felt a little tired.
Suddenly her eyelids twitched, and out of the corner of her eye she seemed to see something flash by and slip under the car.
Rong Xianxian released her mental power to scan under the car and found a strange object tightly attached to the exhaust pipe of the RV chassis.
Rong Xianxian activated her spiritual weapon Thousand Silk to transform it into a rope and caught the monster. Looking at the small monster, which was the size of a fox, in her hand, she looked grim.
The monster's eyes rolled around, looking a little weird. Rong Xianxian activated the Soul-Calming Bell, and separated a ray of mental power that pierced directly into the monster's mind. "Ah" a scream came from the monster's mind, and a ray of dissipated mental power seemed to vaporize and floated out of the monster's brain. The monster's eyes were now dull and lifeless.
Rong Xianxian withdrew her mental power and carefully observed the monster's body. The monster's tail was like a broom, its mouth was long and sharp, and there was a thick layer of fleshy pads on its claws. At this time, the fleshy pads were shining with a blue color, and its abdomen had an abnormal bulge, which looked a little weird.
This monster was obviously tampered with by someone. "Hiss," Rong Xianxian groaned in pain, and her fingers felt like they were burned by fire.
What a powerful poison! Rong Xianxian has spiritual energy to protect her body, and she has talismans on her body to drive away poison and eliminate foreign objects, but she didn't expect that this poison could still hurt her.
What's in this monster's stomach?
"Da, da..." When Rong Xianxian listened carefully, she heard a faint ticking sound. Without thinking, Rong Xianxian threw the monster in her hand away.
"Bang" the monster's body exploded in mid-air, like fireworks, sparks flying everywhere.
The place where the sparks splashed quickly turned black. It seemed that the monster's entire body was poisonous. Fortunately, she reacted quickly.
If the monster enters the RV through the exhaust pipe and detonates the explosives in its body, the interior of the RV should be pitch black, just like the place where sparks splashed.
Cui Lie came to Rong Xianxian at some point and said, "Sister Rong, do you need to go over there and investigate?"
Cui Lie was pointing in the direction where Yu Dian and the others were.
"No need, it wasn't them who did it. The ones who did it should be the people from the mysterious organization in the Chongzhou safe zone." Rong Xianxian said.
"They are really haunting us. We are in the light and they are in the dark. This is not favorable for us!" Cui Lie looked worried.
"The methods they used tonight were indeed powerful, but don't worry, they won't be able to use such methods in the future." Rong Xianxian thought of the scream in the monster's mind before. They failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice. They must be regretting it now.
In a camp in the northwest corner of Rong Xianxian's camp, a middle-aged man wearing wide-sleeved Hanfu, who was originally sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly had blood oozing from his eyes and his body fell limply to the ground.
"Uncle Long, Uncle Long, what's wrong with you?" Accompanying him was a handsome young man. When he saw the middle-aged man fall to the ground, he looked flustered and at a loss.
"Why are you panicking? Where are the medicine Uncle Long told you to take?" another person shouted. The young man seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly took out the pills Uncle Long had told him to take and fed them down his throat.
"Uncle Long, why is there still no movement? What should we do?" There were about seven or eight people in the tent. When the young man said this, everyone looked at each other in silence.
