Chapter 455 She Can't Escape Back
With so many snakes and countless insects, a bowl of dragon beard noodles is definitely not enough to deal with them.
Yun Ran gritted her teeth and, with the mentality of giving it a try, poured the contents of the small bottle onto the things on the tree trunk below. At the same time, she held her breath.
The small bottle contained medicinal powder, and the white powder fell like snow. The snakes and insects lying on the tree trunks were soaked and stopped moving at once.
After a while, it started to fall down like dumplings.
Yun Ran curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, it works."
The powder was very toxic, and the dust in the air choked the witch, causing him to cough violently several times and quickly cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
He was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that a little girl could be so capable of so many tricks.
He raised his hand and gestured to the soldiers behind him. The soldiers immediately surrounded the tree, cooperated with each other tacitly, and began to climb the tree quickly.
The Great Wizard stared at Yun Ran who was standing on the tree branch with a cold expression. He didn't believe that this little girl had any other tricks to use.
No matter how powerful a whip is, it cannot deal with so many soldiers.
Yun Ran's face did indeed darken. She could deal with some insects, snakes and ants, but with so many people, she really couldn't do it by herself.
However, she gripped the delicate handle of the dragon whisker whip tightly, swung it hard, wrapped the whip tip around another branch beside her, then jumped down from the tree and swung herself out again.
When she swung to the highest point in the air, she suddenly exerted force, pulled the dragon beard noodles off the tree, and threw them towards the direction where the great witch was standing.
This is actually very risky.
There were several soldiers guarding the Great Witch. If she hadn't controlled her strength well or had been interrupted by the soldiers, she would have definitely fallen to the ground in an ugly position and been caught on the spot.
Fortunately, the tip of the dragon beard noodle whip was wrapped around the big wizard's neck steadily and accurately. Yun Ran touched the ground with his toes, and the moment he landed, he stepped in front of the big wizard and controlled his hands.
"Don't move!" She tightened her dragon beard noodles, pressed the witch down, and made him squat down.
There was no way, she was too short, only reaching the shoulders of the big witch.
It happened so suddenly that the soldiers still hanging on the tree trunks were stunned.
The other soldiers on the ground also became alert. Seeing that the witch's neck was strangled tightly, they froze in place for a moment.
"Make them all retreat, stay away." Yun Ran said to the Great Wizard, "Otherwise, I will strangle you to death!"
Although it was a threat, the girl's gentle voice was not that intimidating.
The Great Wizard swallowed hard and said nothing.
Yun Ran frowned and exerted force with his hands. The dragon beard mask visibly tightened around the neck of the great wizard, causing the veins on his neck to bulge.
"Cough... cough cough!" The great wizard's face turned red and he coughed violently. While coughing, he raised his hand and gestured to the soldiers and the two warriors.
The soldiers and warriors immediately stopped their movements, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated step by step.
Yun Ran breathed a sigh of relief and dragged the witch behind a big tree, finding a dark place that was shaded enough and out of reach of the moonlight.
In this way, she could observe the situation of the soldiers outside at any time, while the soldiers could not see them.
Without letting go of the dragon beard noodles, she reached out and tapped the big wizard's body a few times, locking his acupoints.
After making sure that the Great Wizard could not move, he spoke: "You are outnumbered and powerful, and I can't do anything to you. But I have a few questions to ask you. After I finish asking you, I will leave. Your Xue Dao will automatically unlock itself in one hour."
The Great Wizard's face was hidden in the dark shadows of the trees. He stared at Yun Ran with a stern expression: "You say."
He knew that although the little girl in front of him was indeed very skilled, she would never dare to kill anyone.
He was not in a hurry. As long as he was sure of this, he would never let the person escape.
"Since you captured me to sacrifice to the snake god on behalf of Miao Yi, what about Miao Yi?"
In the darkness, Yun Ran stared at the witch's eyes while listening carefully to the sounds around him to prevent the soldiers from sneaking up on him.
The Great Wizard's neck was strangled, and it was difficult for him to speak: "Ahem... Xiao, the princess... should still be in Dakang."
He did not lie about this, because it didn't matter even if he told Yun Ran. Anyway, when they arrived in Nanlin tomorrow, Yun Ran would not be able to escape anyway.
But Yun Ran frowned: "She is still in Dakang? She didn't go back with Prince Nanlin? Then where is she?"
She remembered that Miao Yi was alone and had no other place to go except for resting in her Shanhai Tower.
The Great Wizard's expression tightened, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
But Yun Ran had already noticed it. The little girl had deep eyes and eyebrows. She took out a handful of sharp "silver needles" from somewhere and waved them in front of the witch.
"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
The Great Wizard's expression froze, but he turned his head away without saying a word.
Yun Ran clenched the 'silver needle' in his hand and stabbed it into several acupuncture points on the witch's body without mercy.
“Ugh…Ahhh! Hahahahahahahahaha…”
The Great Wizard's face suddenly changed, he screamed in pain a few times, and then suddenly began to laugh uncontrollably.
The soldiers outside heard the noise and their faces changed. They looked at each other for a long time. They wanted to sneak over to see what was going on, but now no one dared to move.
"You...hahahahaha, you also know medicine? Hahaha..." The great witch laughed out of breath, and his questions were intermittent and incoherent.
Yun Ran pursed her lips and said, "I can't. I just picked these needles from that big pine tree and they pricked your smile."
"Just tell me now," Yun Ran sighed, seeing him looking so uncomfortable, crying and laughing at the same time, "If you don't tell me, you'll have to laugh like this all night long."
The Great Wizard was still smiling, his face full of tears, but he couldn't control himself and could only nod with difficulty.
"Hey, why bother?" Yun Ran sat beside him, holding his chin, and pulled the pine needles off his cheek.
The great witch stopped smiling immediately and began to gasp for breath.
"Tell me quickly, why didn't Miao Yi return to Nanlin with the King of Nanlin? Where is she now?"
"She...she is with her brother," the Great Wizard said with difficulty.
"Brother?" Yun Ran's eyebrows jumped.
"Yes, her brother... is the one beside King Heshun, the snake wizard."
Yun Ran: ...
"So this incident was planned by you, no, it was planned by King Nanlin, King Heshun, the Snake Witch and the others?"
After she asked this question, she suddenly realized something.
I just felt a chill in my heart.
When she came out of Yin Mansion, it was Anji who came to invite her.
So, it’s not Prince Heshun, but the Emperor, Ye Cangling.
As if he understood the look on her face, the Great Wizard, having calmed down a bit, sighed and said, "Indeed, this was discussed between your Emperor Dakang and our King Nanlin."
"So, even if you can escape, what's the use? You'll still be sent back. You're smart and skilled, so you should know the stakes involved."
Seeing Yun Ran stunned, the Great Wizard's gloomy face rarely brightened up: "So, you come back with me, at least in Nanlin, I can let you go to see the Snake God in style.
If all goes well, you will be the next Imperial Master of Nanlin State."
