In the Nanyu Mountains, a group of people walked quickly, including Yun Xiao, who belonged to the Lin family. After knowing that the Tao family had arrived first, their movements subconsciously speeded up a bit.
With such a fast speed, many problems will undoubtedly be ignored. Putting aside the pulse demon that may appear at any time, some man-made things are easier to be ignored.
"Huh? Something's wrong!"
When Yun Xiao stepped into a certain pine forest, his feet suddenly stopped, and a vague feeling came to his mind, which made him pull Lin Xuanhao beside him and let out a soft drink.
"Brother Yunxiao, what's wrong?"
Although he didn't spend much time with Yun Xiao, Lin Xuanhao still respected his friend from Qianlong Continent. He turned his head and asked in confusion, especially when he saw that Qiao Guinong in front of him didn't look strange.
time.
"Don't you smell anything?"
Yun Xiao sniffed his nose and asked this question again. Lin Zhenjiang and others in front finally noticed the conversation between the two, and immediately stopped and turned around.
"Smell? What smell? No!"
Lin Xuanhao looked confused, but he still twitched his nose vigorously, but found nothing in the end. Then his eyes turned to his father and the chief pulse refiner Qiao Guinong.
"Young people just like to make a fuss about things that I haven't discovered yet. Could it be that you just casually sensed them?"
Qiao Guinong, who didn't notice anything strange, was quite dissatisfied with Yun Xiao for delaying his and others' progress. He immediately scolded him. With his status in the Lin family, there was nothing wrong with saying such a thing.
After all, this is a pulse refiner whose soul power has reached the lower level of the earth. When it comes to sensing ability, even Lin Zhenjiang, the head of the Lin family in the Seeking Realm, feels inferior to him.
"Don't waste time. It's better to hurry up and don't let those guys from the Tao family get there first!"
Lin Xuanting also glanced at Yun Xiao with disdain. In his opinion, he was just a sensational boy who wanted to use this method to attract his father's attention. Unfortunately, this method was too clumsy. Didn't he know
Are there any low-level pulse refiners in the Lin family?
Click!
Just as everyone turned around and started to move forward, a Lin family guard suddenly accidentally stepped on a dead branch. The slight vibration affected the pine tree above his head, and a few pine needles fell randomly.
The guard didn't pay any attention to the negligible pine needles. He raised his head and waved it casually, and then one of the pine needles suddenly touched the exposed part of his right hand.
"ah!"
However, just when everyone didn't care at all, the guard let out a loud scream, and then everyone clearly saw that his right hand had become as black as ink, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.
Bang!
The guard of the Lin family felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He felt a strange pain in his heart. He couldn't bear it and took a few steps back. His back hit the pine tree directly. Countless pine needles rained down, and there was no way to avoid it.
avoid.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
Several Lin family guards who were very close to the guard were touched by countless pine needles on their heads and faces, and they screamed in agony. Especially those guards whose cheeks were touched by pine needles soon became silent.
"Everyone, get out of the way, those pine needles are highly poisonous!"
At this moment, Qiao Guinong, the master of poisoning, still didn't understand what happened. It was just that the poison had such a powerful effect when it touched the skin, even for a low-level refiner like him.
The pulse master couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
"It's hopeless!"
Seeing this, Yunxiao couldn't help but shake his head. His knowledge was passed down from the Dragon Sky God of War in his previous life. When he saw the dark-faced Lin family guards for the first time, he knew that there was nothing he could do to save the day after such a short delay.
If only the hand of the guard at the beginning was poisoned, the strong man might be able to save his life by cutting off his wrist, but just because the guard hit the pine tree hard, the guards under the tree were pricked with pine needles all over their heads and faces.
There is absolutely no way to save it.
"Exit, everyone, exit quickly!"
Seeing that the guards who were poisoned were already running around, Lin Zhenjiang's face could not help but darken. After he shouted angrily, the one he pulled out first was his adopted son Lin Xuanting.
It is worth mentioning that because Yun Xiao did not move just now, Lin Xuanhao did not enter under the pine tree. At this moment, when he turned his head and looked at Yun Xiao, his eyes were full of horror.
"Brother Yunxiao, did you already know that those pine needles are poisonous?"
Recalling Yun Xiao's reminder just now, Lin Xuanhao really regretted it. If he had listened to Yun Xiao's advice at that time, the Lin family's guards would not have suffered such a heavy loss.
"You knew this a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? So many guards of my Lin family died?"
Lin Xuanting, who was rescued by his father, suddenly heard Lin Xuanhao's question, and when he saw only half of the Lin family guards left, he immediately tore off his hypocritical face and started to question him directly.
"Brother, how can you say that? Didn't Brother Yunxiao remind you just now? It's you who didn't listen. Who can blame you?"
Fortunately, Lin Xuanhao is still somewhat rational. Although he is also very sad that the Lin family has killed and injured so many guards, he also knows that this matter has nothing to do with Yun Xiao. On the contrary, the Lin family did not listen to Yun Xiao's advice just now.
Only then did he realize, why can the eldest brother say such a thing?
Perhaps at this moment, Lin Xuanhao saw Lin Xuanting's true nature for the first time. The tragic death of the guard and his initial dislike of Yun Xiao made Lin Xuanting lose control.
"Yun Xiao, you should have made it clear just now. If you made it clear, why wouldn't we believe it?"
Qiao Guinong's face was also a little ugly, and he might have been embarrassed by being slapped in the face. Therefore, although his words were not as obvious as Lin Xuanting's, every word he said was also assigning Yun Xiao's responsibility.
"I didn't know that those poisons were hidden on the pine needles, but it's you, a dignified low-level pulse refiner at the earth level. It's just that you didn't sense that something was wrong. You are still stubborn and don't listen to others. You should at least be responsible for this matter.
You have to bear more than half of it!"
Yun Xiao is not a master who only takes losses without fighting back. He just reminded the old guy that he didn't listen, so it's okay. After suffering a loss, he still puts the responsibility on himself. Do he really think that he is Ni Nie's?
"you……"
Qiao Guinong, who had never been criticized like this before, was really angry. In the past, he could use his identity and strength to suppress it, but the young man in front of him was not from the Lin family, and what he said made sense.
He was really at a loss for words at the moment.
"Okay, that's it for now. What's the use of talking about it anymore? Let's think about how to get through this pine forest?"
Lin Zhenjiang, the head of the Lin family, was naturally in a bad mood. He even regretted not listening to Yun Xiao's words just now, so after he said these words, his eyes glanced at the rough-clothed young man intentionally or unintentionally.
"What else can we do? In such a large pine forest, who knows which pine needles are poisonous? It seems that we can only take a detour!"
Qiao Guinong suppressed the anger in his heart, but he seemed to have some guess as to who was responsible for the poison that killed the person just now, so he was not sure.
"Damn it, this old guy Lu Yuanpei actually uses such despicable methods. You'd better not let me encounter it, otherwise you will have to pay for today's revenge with your blood!"
After listening to Qiao Guinong's words, Lin Zhenjiang still didn't understand that it was the Tao family who was causing trouble, and that the only person who could unleash such a weird and terrifying poison was probably the Tao family's chief poison master, Lu Yuanpei.
"But if we take a detour, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with those guys from the Tao family!"
Lin Xuanting's mind was spinning very fast, and he came up with a dilemma. After all, this pine forest was not big or small. If he took a detour, he would probably be delayed for half a day.
It's all cold.
"No need to go to such trouble, right?"
Just when everyone in the Lin family was at a loss what to do, a lazy voice suddenly came from the side. When everyone turned to look, they saw that it was the young man in rough clothes who was carrying a wooden sword who spoke again.
"Brother Yunxiao, do you have any idea?"
Lin Xuanhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. After what happened just now, he undoubtedly had an inexplicable confidence in Yun Xiao, and he also believed that this person couldn't make fun of his own life, right?
As for the rest of the Lin family, not even Qiao Guinong and Lin Xuanting spoke this time, because like Lin Xuanhao, they all suddenly had an inexplicable confidence in this mysterious young man.
"The method is simple to say. No matter how powerful the poisoner is, he can't smear every tree and pine needle with poison in these dozens of miles of pine forest. Let's go among the pine trees that are not poisonous.
Isn’t it ok to just go down?”
Yun Xiao spread his hands and said a really simple method, and he also couldn't understand why these guys from the Lin family couldn't think of such a simple reasoning. Are they really a bunch of idiots?
"Simple?"
But after Yun's joke was over, everyone in the Lin family twitched, especially the chief pulse refiner Qiao Guinong, whose face was filled with anger. Could this kid be here to amuse himself?
If it were so easy to find a tree whose pine needles contained highly toxic substances, then this method would indeed work. But the problem was that he couldn't find it. Since he couldn't find it, wouldn't he be joking with his own life by entering the pine forest rashly?
?
However, this kid had a matter-of-fact look on his face, and what was going on with that look in his face? Was he insinuating that he and others were idiots? I haven't seen this kind of look in a long time.
At this moment, all the Lin family members were staring at the young man in rough clothes, silently!
