Just as Pei Xuan was feeling puzzled, suddenly, an enormous black shadow darted out from the nearby woods and headed straight for Pei Xuan and the others.
"Roar!" the dark figure roared, attacking Pei Xuan and the others frantically.
Pei Xuan reacted quickly, immediately drawing his sword to meet the attack, and engaged in a fierce battle with the dark figure.
After a long time, and after a fierce battle, Pei Xuan suddenly realized that the dark figure was actually a huge black bear!
Moreover, this black bear was clearly poisoned, and it was unusually violent and bloodthirsty.
Pei Xuan quickly ordered his men, "Come here right now! Quickly tie up this bear, then we'll attack its vulnerable spots!"
"Yes, Captain Pei!"
What should we do now?
The guards beside him had already restrained the bear, and they hurriedly asked Pei Xuan for his opinion.
Pei Xuan said, "Punch its eyes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards beside him immediately went to stab the bear in the eyes.
A short while later, Pei Xuan and the other guards worked together to subdue the black bear.
At that moment, A Dong's figure slowly emerged from the woods.
"So you've found my trail after all," Adong said sinisterly. "In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, A Dong suddenly pulled out a bottle from his pocket, which was full of green venom.
He suddenly threw the bottle forward, spraying the poison inside onto Pei Xuan and the others.
Upon seeing this, the guards all scrambled to the side, but a few were unfortunately infected with the venom.
Those people collapsed to the ground in great pain, their bodies convulsing instantly. Their skin turned bright red and began to corrode immediately. They rolled around in agony, unable to fight anymore.
Upon seeing this, Pei Xuan was greatly alarmed and immediately swung his sword to stab A Dong.
However, Ah Dong quickly dodged Pei Xuan's attack.
At the same time, he took out a white bottle from his pocket, opened the cap, and immediately sprayed the poison inside onto Pei Xuan opposite him.
Pei Xuan was startled and quickly raised his sword to block, trying to dodge the splashed poison.
However, some venom still splashed onto his arm, and the venom immediately penetrated his skin, causing him an intense stinging pain.
"hiss……"
Pei Xuan immediately hid to the side, having no way to pursue A Dong.
Seeing this, A-Dong couldn't help but sneer, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the woods.
Despite his injury, Pei Xuan chased after A Dong, but the excruciating pain in his arm severely hampered his speed.
In the end, he had no way to catch up with Adong and could only watch helplessly as Adong disappeared into the woods.
Pei Xuan was quite helpless, but he could only lead the injured guards back to their camp.
"Your Highness, we have disappointed you. We failed to catch up with A Dong and he escaped. In addition, the guards around him were all injured."
"Even I accidentally got my hands on his venom and injured my arm."
After returning to the camp, Pei Xuan immediately reported the situation to Qi Guze.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze frowned deeply. He hadn't expected that this country bumpkin, A Dong, would be so powerful that even a master like Pei Xuan couldn't defeat him!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Pei Xuan asked.
Qi Guze pondered for a moment and said, "Since A Dong is skilled in using poison, we should not act rashly. We should first find a way to counter his poison techniques, and then capture him."
After saying this, Qi Guze quickly ordered his men to carry the poisoned guards into the tent.
Since there was no doctor around, Qi Guze had to ask a doctor from a nearby village to come and treat them.
When the doctors arrived, they saw that Qi Guze and his companions did not appear to be ordinary people, so they did not ask them any questions. Instead, they focused on treating the guards around Qi Guze to detoxify them.
Qi Guze had used up all the pills he had along the way, and he didn't have many anti-poison pills left.
Now, the only option is for the doctors to detoxify the poisoned guards.
After the doctors' efforts, they finally managed to remove the poison from the guards' bodies.
However, they were severely weakened and would need to rest and recuperate for some time before they could set off again.
"The poison in their bodies has been neutralized, but their bodies have suffered damage and they need to rest and recuperate for a while."
"We'll prescribe some calming medication for them. They'll need to decoct the medicine and take it for a while, and then they'll be fine."
After writing some prescriptions, the doctors took their payment and left the encampment immediately.
Qi Guze quickly ordered someone to fetch the medicine according to the prescription and immediately gave it to the guards.
After seeing that the poison in their bodies had been neutralized, Xu Yuehuai came to Qi Guze's side and said, "I didn't expect A Dong to be so good at using poison. He managed to poison so many people all by himself."
Looking at the sky outside, Qi Guze felt that A Dong was not alone; there must be other people helping him, and their goal seemed to be them.
“It’s impossible for A-Dong to have obtained so many toxins in such a short time. He must have been given those toxins by someone else.”
“Ah Dong is hiding now, and we have no way to catch him for the time being.”
"However, we must think of other ways to capture A Dong. We absolutely cannot allow him to continue hiding among us, otherwise it will definitely cause us great harm," Qi Guze said in a deep voice.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Yes! Before that, we must find a way to detoxify his poison to avoid being harmed by it. That way, we can capture him with peace of mind."
Qi Guze replied calmly, "I have already arranged for someone skilled in making and detoxifying drugs to come here. That person will be here soon. Once she arrives, we can take action to arrest A Dong."
Over the next few days, they cared for the other wounded guards while waiting for the Ghost Doctor to arrive.
After some time, the guards' injuries had healed considerably, and the ghost doctor who was by Qi Guze's side had also arrived.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since you last contacted me. What's the reason this time? I've come all this way!"
The Ghost Doctor, dressed in red, gave Xu Yuehuai a wicked smile.
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat surprised to see that the Ghost Doctor had such a captivating appearance.
I never imagined that the famous Ghost Doctor would be such a young boy with porcelain-white skin and a slender figure.
"The main reason I called you here is because we want to arrest someone who is skilled in making poison and has harmed many of my guards."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Doctor gave a faint smile.
