Chapter 427 The Information Was Incorrect
Before Meng Qingyin could even make a move, Zhou Tao was so frightened that she abandoned all her armor and weapons.
She screamed in despair, "Meng Qingyin, what are you trying to do? If you have the guts, kill me! Do you really want to see me being cruelly tortured?!"
Compared to her breakdown, Meng Qingyin was much calmer: "You know that player called Abyss, right? He's also a mutant?"
Mentioning the name Abyss made Zhou Tao stiffen, and that chilling feeling of being secretly watched swept over her once again.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Feng Yiming left a deep shadow on her.
She felt a deep-seated fear of Feng Yiming, like an animal's submission and awe towards a powerful figure.
She looked up at Meng Qingyin and sneered, "Meng Qingyin, do you think you're so strong that no one can beat you? Some people... are simply beyond your reach."
She was referring to Feng Yiming.
Although she didn't know Feng Yiming's true strength, she believed that he was absolutely superior to Meng Qingyin.
After all, even she unconsciously submits to Feng Yiming, so how much better would Meng Qingyin be?
Yes, even in such a predicament, Zhou Tao still believed that Meng Qingyin's strength was inferior to hers.
She attributed Meng Qingyin's high combat power to external factors such as pets, vehicles, weapons, and gold coins, firmly believing that Meng Qingyin's own strength was inferior to hers.
Meng Qingyin sighed, "You don't seem to understand the situation yet, little one..."
The little one bared its teeth and approached Zhou Tao, pretending to bite her arm.
Zhou Tao was tied up like a dumpling and could only sit against the wall. From her perspective, a ferocious beast comparable in size to an adult elephant was approaching her, and she could even clearly see its sharp and thick tusks.
Even when she wasn't tied up, she was no match for it, let alone now that she was almost unable to move.
Zhou Tao screamed in alarm, "Meng Qingyin, stop it! Ahhhhh, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
Meng Qingyin called for a stop just before the baby's fangs bit Zhou Tao's arm. Zhou Tao was already drenched in cold sweat from fright.
Meng Qingyin said coldly, "Answer my questions directly. Don't waste my time with irrelevant things, understand?"
Zhou Tao felt extremely resentful, but she had no choice but to compromise, saying, "I understand."
“Very good,” Meng Qingyin said, “answer my question just now.”
Zhou Tao thought for a while before remembering the question Meng Qingyin had just asked. She shook her head: "I'm not sure. Feng Yiming... that is, Shenyuan, seems to have also swallowed the snake spirit pearl, but I did not see him swallow the spirit pearl with my own eyes."
Meng Qingyin: "He exhibits snake-like characteristics?"
Players who have consumed the spirit orb can easily detect the changes in their appearance.
Zhou Tao shook her head again: "I don't know."
Fearing that Meng Qingyin wouldn't believe her, she immediately explained, "I only saw him once after entering this map, but there was no light at the time, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly."
Meng Qingyin looked at Zhou Tao inquisitively, "Then why did you say he swallowed a snake-like spirit pearl?"
"The feeling he gave me was..." Zhou Tao didn't know how to describe it, so she paused and said, "...like a snake lurking in the dark, waiting to hunt!"
"Besides, he bit my neck back then." Thinking of this, Zhou Tao added, "If you don't believe me, you can look at my neck; there should still be bite marks."
She turned her head to the side, revealing the side of her neck.
Meng Qingyin had excellent eyesight and immediately noticed a row of reddish teeth marks on Zhou Tao's neck, which indeed looked like snake bites.
Meng Qingyin believed Zhou Tao's words after a little thought. She knew that Zhou Tao valued her life and was opportunistic. Given the extremely unfavorable situation for her, she would not lie.
Zhou Tao was genuinely afraid of Meng Qingyin, fearing that she would torture her to death, so she spilled all the secrets of her "deal" with Feng Yiming.
Meng Qingyin grasped the key point: "Is your blood poisonous?"
Zhou Tao was suddenly struck as if by a blow to the head.
Yes, her blood is poisonous, so why is she afraid of that beast? It wouldn't dare touch her blood!
“That’s right, my blood is also poisonous,” Zhou Tao laughed. “In that case, your pet will die from poisoning once it comes into contact with my blood.”
Zhou Tao stood up abruptly, "Hahaha, Meng Qingyin, I don't take your threats seriously at all! You'll always be my defeated opponent! Hahahaha..."
This time, without Meng Qingyin saying a word, the little one bit Zhou Tao's arm.
Zhou Tao felt a sharp pain in her arm and stared wide-eyed at her son in disbelief.
The baby only bit her arm and swallowed the blood right in front of her.
Zhou Tao stared at the little one in shock: "You...you're not afraid of poison..."
The little one rolled his eyes. "This level of poison is nothing."
Meng Qingyin: "It can digest any kind of poison, so you'd better give up your unrealistic fantasies."
He thought the poison was his trump card in negotiating with Meng Qingyin, but he never expected that her pet would be immune to the poison!
The smugness on Zhou Tao's face vanished instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.
Meng Qingyin continued, "Didn't Feng Yiming get poisoned after drinking your blood?"
Zhou Tao: "No."
Meng Qingyin: "Are you immune to your own snake venom?"
"Um."
Meng Qingyin lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
There are two possibilities for why Feng Yiming is not afraid of snake venom.
One possibility is that he possesses the ability to digest any toxin, just like a baby.
Another possibility is... he is immune to Zhou Tao's snake venom.
Zhou Tao's immunity to snake venom must be due to snake genes in her body. Could it be that Feng Yiming also has snake genes in his body?
So it seems that he really did swallow the snake-like spirit pearl?
But if that's the case, why isn't he in the top ten of the combat power rankings?
This is what Meng Qingyin can't understand.
A moment later, she asked Zhou Tao, "Do you know Li Qiang?"
Li Qiang suddenly rose to the top of the combat power rankings, but then quickly disappeared. He must have also consumed the spirit pearl.
She had a gut feeling that Zhou Tao was also involved in this matter.
Zhou Tao smiled disdainfully: "He tried to kill me after consuming the spirit pearl, but I killed him instead. He overestimated himself."
Meng Qingyin pressed further, "Then why didn't you consume his spirit pearl?"
Zhou Tao frowned: "He's dead, and the Spirit Pearl disappeared with him."
Meng Qingyin: "Didn't a spirit pearl emerge after he died?"
Zhou Tao: "No."
It seems Qin Jiu's information was wrong; players who swallowed the Spirit Orb will not necessarily drop it upon death, there is a probability involved.
However, the two players that Qin Jiu dealt with both happened to drop Spirit Orbs.
Having asked all the questions she wanted to ask, Meng Qingyin left the carriage.
