Chapter 139: Antidote Replacement
The Three Winter Monsters didn't take these hidden weapons seriously at all. They only wanted to kill the three men as soon as possible so that they could collect the reward.
However, they gradually realized something was amiss. Their bodies began to feel strange, with weakness in their limbs and dizziness, clearly symptoms of poisoning. The three Sui Han monsters were startled and didn't dare to rashly use their internal energy. They quickly stepped back, putting some distance between themselves and Qing Yi and the others, not daring to attack again.
"Who the hell threw the hidden weapon?" The old monster with black beard was in a bad mood and cursed loudly.
Qing Yi supported the exhausted Qing Feng with a playful smile and said, "Old man, please speak properly. This hero is kindly reminding you that the angrier you get, the faster the poison will spread in your body. You might bleed from all seven orifices and die soon."
"Hand over the antidote quickly, you little bastard!" The red-bearded old monster roared with his eyes wide open.
Qing Yi snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Haha, why should I give you the antidote? Didn't you just want to kill us? Now you want me to give you the antidote?"
"You're looking for death, you brat!" The old monster with the black beard was completely enraged by Qing Yi's words. He rushed forward with his big knife and was about to fight Qing Yi to the death. The old monster with the white beard quickly grabbed his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, wait a minute."
The old white-bearded monster took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He stared at Qing Yi and said slowly, "I never thought that after decades of wandering the martial arts world, my three brothers would suffer a loss at the hands of a brat like you. Boy, I advise you to be sensible and hand over the antidote obediently, otherwise, you will never leave here alive today."
"Bah! You are so shameless at this age. You set up formations and traps to kill us, and you still have the nerve to ask for the antidote? I don't care if you are three monsters or three idiots. Anyway, in an hour, you will bleed from all seven orifices." Qing Yi was not polite and scolded him.
"Are you planning to ignore that little girl?" The old monster with white beard was quite scheming and spoke in a calm tone.
"Little girl? Qingqing?" Qingyi, Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng were all shocked when they heard this. Qingqing fell into the hands of these three old monsters?
"Where is she?" Ye Qingyu asked in a deep voice.
"Antidote!" The white-bearded old monster spat out two words.
"Bring her here safely and I'll give you the antidote," Qing Yi said.
"Give me the antidote first." The old monster with white beard refused to give in.
"Let him go first!" Qing Yi insisted, not backing down, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The old white-bearded monster was secretly anxious. He knew the poison was powerful. The longer he delayed, the deeper the poison would become. Even if there was an antidote, it would be difficult to fully recover. So, he rolled his eyes and came up with a compromise solution: "Give me the antidote for one person first, and I'll let you see her."
Qing Yi pondered that the hidden weapon he had just launched wasn't some deadly poison needle, but merely scorpion venom. With the internal strength of these three old monsters, they could force the poison out even without the antidote, and it wouldn't kill them at all. With this in mind, he didn't want to delay any longer, fearing they might discover his intentions.
"Okay." Qing Yi nodded and agreed.
Qing Yi said calmly, "Wait a minute, I'll divide the antidote in the bottle and give you just enough for each of you." The three Sui Han monsters were far away and couldn't quite see Qing Yi's movements, but Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng saw them clearly. Qing Yi pretended to pour something out of the porcelain bottle, but in reality, he quickly put the contents in his hand into the bottle, shook it solemnly, and then took out a pill and asked the three Sui Han monsters, "Who will eat first?"
Upon hearing this, the three Winter Monsters looked at each other in bewilderment. Naturally, they all wanted to detoxify themselves first, but what if the antidote was fake? For a moment, the three of them were silent.
"Hey! What do you mean? Do you want to eat or not?" Seeing that they didn't say anything, Qing Yi raised his voice and asked loudly.
"Is this really an antidote?" The old monster with white beard frowned, his tone cautious.
"Since you don't believe it, then just wait for blood to come out of all seven orifices. By then, even if the Great Immortal comes, he won't be able to save you!" Qing Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and deliberately threatened.
"Brother, let me go first!" The old monster with black beard was impatient and shouted first.
"Third brother, let me go first!" The old monster with a red beard was not willing to be outdone, and he stretched his neck to fight for it.
"Why did you come first!" The old monster with black beard glared at him with a look of displeasure on his face, and spit flew out of his mouth.
The three Sui Han monsters, who had been silent just now, were now caught up in a fierce fight because of Qing Yi's words.
Qing Yi watched from the side, secretly amused. These three people were indeed out of their minds. As their names implied, they were incredibly strange. He rolled his eyes and shouted, "Hey, stop dithering. There's not just one antidote, everyone gets one! If you let that girl go, I'll give it to you all. Isn't that fair?"
"Brother, what this kid said makes sense!" The old monster with black beard was simple-minded and was the first to be persuaded by Qing Yi. He looked at the old monster with white beard.
"But what if what he gave is fake?" Compared with the red and black monsters, the old monster with white beard was still quite cautious.
"Then give it to me first! I want to see if this kid dares to play tricks!" The old monster with black beard shouted in a loud voice, which made people's ears hurt.
"Why do you have to come first? Am I afraid?" The old monster with red beard refused to give in and confronted the old monster with black beard.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the old monster with white beard quickly reached out to stop them, and shouted: "Second brother, third brother, don't do it! Let me get the antidote and have a look. We have their people in our hands, I don't think he would dare to cheat us!"
"Listen to the big brother!" Although the red and black monsters had hot tempers, they still respected the white-bearded monster and responded in unison.
"I caught it!" Qing Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible cunning smile. He shook his wrist and threw the pill in his hand towards the white-bearded monster.
