"These are just flesh wounds, not fatal. I know my limits, don't worry." As Gu Yunni spoke, she pulled him towards Li Zhiqing.
Seeing that she insisted on doing so, Sheng Mingjue had no choice but to let Gu Yunni drag him.
Li Zhiqing was also untied by Sheng Mingjue's men. Seeing Gu Yunni coming over, he hurried over to her and checked her body anxiously: "Yunni, how are you? Are you still in pain?"
"It's nothing serious, don't worry, it's just a little dehydrated."
Li Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared! If something really happened to you, what would I do..."
Having said this, Li Zhiqing secretly glanced at Sheng Mingjue and didn't say anything else.
Gu Yunni noticed her little movement and felt a little depressed.
As he was speaking, the boss suddenly opened his eyes.
The boss suddenly broke free from the ropes that bound him, jumped up, and while Gu Yunni and Li Zhiqing were still unable to react, he stabbed Gu Yunni with a knife.
This sudden change caught Li Zhiqing off guard. She had no time to stop it and could only watch as the boss raised his knife and stabbed Gu Yunni.
Sheng Mingjue's pupils suddenly shrank, and he moved his body, instantly standing in front of Gu Yunni, and his arm was cut by the boss.
"Clang!"
The long sword fell to the ground.
Sheng Mingjue groaned, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
The boss succeeded in his attack and turned to swing his sword towards Sheng Mingjue. His eyes were red and full of bloodthirsty light. He seemed to be controlled by something and black air kept emitting from his body.
"Brother!" The second and third in command called out in panic, but the eldest in command was like a devil at this time and could not hear any calls at all.
Upon seeing this, the secret guard hurriedly drew out his sword and went forward to fight with the boss.
"Protect His Royal Highness!"
Li Zhiqing stood there blankly. She had not expected that the boss would suddenly go crazy, and she had not expected that he would suddenly attack the prince.
Sheng Mingjue covered his injured arm. Seeing that only one person took action, his eyes were slightly angry and he said coldly, "Hurry up and capture him!"
The secret guards reacted immediately and quickly approached the boss.
At this time, the boss had already fallen into a state of madness and was unable to resist at all. In less than a cup of tea, the boss had suffered multiple injuries.
Although everyone could see that the other party was possessed, Gu Yunni noticed something was wrong.
Especially the thin black line on his forehead, which always felt like a poisonous insect, but she was not sure, so she had to suppress her doubts temporarily and continue observing.
Seeing that they were still unable to capture the boss, Sheng Mingjue shouted, "Speed up! We must take his life today!"
Hearing this, everyone was startled and accelerated their offensive.
Soon the big boss couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground, muttering: "Kill... Kill her! Kill her..."
He looked dazed, his eyes were wandering, and he was like a puppet.
With only a trace of rationality left, he was still stubborn and wanted to kill Gu Yunni.
Seeing this, Sheng Mingjue's eyes darkened, "Kill!"
The secret guard immediately gathered his thoughts and prepared to raise his sword to kill him, but at this moment Gu Yunni spoke up, "Wait!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Gu Yunni frowned, "Let him live first!"
Sheng Mingjue stared at her unhappily, "Why?"
Gu Yunni glanced at the boss lying on the ground and said coldly, "I suspect he is being controlled by someone. If we kill him rashly, I'm afraid it will not only do no harm to the mastermind behind this, but will also alert the enemy."
Sheng Mingjue frowned, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Yunni curled her lips, "I need to test it out."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the boss, squatted down, and gently took off the boss's mask, wanting to know the source of the black line.
Unexpectedly, this action attracted Sheng Mingjue's attention.
"Deputy General Lin?" Sheng Mingjue was shocked when he saw the boss's face clearly.
What's going on? Shouldn't Lieutenant General Lin be training new recruits in the army right now? Why is he here?
Gu Yunni noticed that Sheng Mingjue looked a little strange, "Does the prince know him?"
Sheng Mingjue nodded, "His name is Lin Tian, and he is my deputy general."
Gu Yunni was surprised. No wonder she felt that this person looked familiar. It turned out that he was one of his subordinates.
Unfortunately, this deputy general was controlled by someone.
Li Zhiqing frowned when he heard Sheng Mingjue's words and asked, "Since he is one of the prince's men, why did he suddenly lose control and attack us?"
Sheng Mingjue shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
He was indeed not in the military camp during this period and missed the news about the boss.
However, he was very sure of one thing, that is, Lieutenant General Lin would never betray him.
Gu Yunni looked carefully for a moment and found that there was indeed a thin black line on Lieutenant General Lin's neck.
After understanding the situation, he immediately turned to the two and said, "He really didn't attack us intentionally, but was controlled by someone using evil magic."
"Witchcraft?" Li Zhiqing was shocked. She had lived for more than ten years, but this was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
This kind of existence.
Gu Yunni nodded. "Yes, it's a sorcery, a sorcery that controls the human soul. The victim will be completely reduced to a puppet. Unless the caster dies or the sorcery is revoked, the victim will never be able to escape until they die of exhaustion."
At this point, Gu Yunni sighed, "Looking at him like this, it's obvious that he's been under the spell for a long time. Anyone who can cast such evil magic must be extraordinary."
Sheng Mingjue looked at Lieutenant General Lin's handsome and upright face. He was a very loyal subordinate. He usually charged into battle and never complained of being tired. Even if the situation was difficult, he would grit his teeth and persevere, never giving up.
He is always conscientious in his duties. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he never retreats. He can be said to be one of the people he trusts the most.
Hearing Gu Yunni's words, Sheng Mingjue's eyes showed a complex expression. He asked, "Is there any other way to remove it?"
Sheng Mingjue didn't want to see such an upright person end up in his current situation.
Gu Yunni lowered her eyes. "Since ancient times, evil magic has often killed people. I naturally want to help him, but I don't have enough materials right now. I'm afraid I can't cure him in the short term."
Hearing this, Sheng Mingjue frowned: "What do you need?"
"Hundred-year-old ice toad." Gu Yunni said firmly.
Hundred-year-old ice toad?
Sheng Mingjue was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Hundred-Year Ice Toad is a rare poisonous creature. It is snow-white, crystal clear, and huge, like a small mountain. It is ferocious and brutal by nature and likes to live in groups. It often hibernates in groups by the ice lake. When looking for food, it swarms out and tears anyone who gets close to it into pieces.
Most people don't dare to touch this kind of thing, but it is extremely poisonous. The slightest contact will result in death. Moreover, there are so many of them that even if you encounter one by chance, you often don't even have a chance to escape.
Hearing Gu Yunni's request, Sheng Mingjue was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
