Not only did Xu Ce find it strange, but Mao Shanming, who was half-empty, also found it incredible. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his entire life.
Both of them looked at Uncle Jiu curiously.
Uncle Jiu pondered for a long time, then frowned and said:
"This kind of poison will suck the nutrients of living people after entering the human body. Currently, many kinds of herbal medicines have been tried, but they cannot be cured. The only way is to use rooster blood, black dog blood, and cinnabar mixed together to use the positive energy of these materials.
The Qi temporarily resists the poisonous insects' erosion of the human body, but it only delays the poisonous effects of the poisonous insects."
"The vitality of this kind of poison is extremely tenacious. I tried to use mana to guide it before, but I didn't expect that instead of showing signs of retreating, these poisons could actually swallow mana and grow faster.
"
Although Xu Ce had experienced it personally, he still took a breath of cold air. This poison was powerful enough!
"Master, is there any other way to solve it?"
Xu Ce asked.
Uncle Jiu replied:
"Everything has one cause and one effect, one drink and one peck, the heaven and the earth are divided into yin and yang, and since this kind of poison appears, there will naturally be corresponding methods of restraint.
It’s just this method of restraint…”
"The simplest way is to kill the person who applied the poison. Without the breath of the person who applied the poison, the poison will naturally die."
"Secondly, find the corresponding method to remove the poison, and the poison will be eliminated naturally.
However, it is almost impossible to find a way to detoxify. There are thousands of voodoo insects, and the detoxification methods are also different according to different ways of applying voodoo.
Unless the person casting the poison takes action himself, it is almost impossible to remove it."
"In fact, it is almost impossible for the person who cast the poison to remove the poison himself.
So our best solution is to kill the person who cast the poison!"
When Uncle Jiu said this, he gritted his teeth and was very angry. Xu Ce could tell that even though he had not had those experiences these days, he could still feel Uncle Jiu's anger.
"Master, now we can only make them suffer like this?"
Xu Ce looked at the painful face of the person lying on the ground, and felt very unbearable.
Uncle Jiu sighed and said helplessly:
"There is no other way for now. I just hope those evil horse thieves will show up soon and kill them."
"Uncle Jiu, can we just wait for them to come to our door? Why not take the initiative?"
Mao Shanming asked in a deep voice. The scene in front of him made him, an old man in the world, feel pity.
Uncle Jiu replied:
"We also wanted to take the initiative, but the horse thieves came like a shadow and went like the wind, and it was impossible to capture their foothold.
Although the wait-and-see method is a bit clumsy, it is also very effective.
In the first two times, although we lost some men, the horse thieves didn't get much profit!"
"Oh, that's it, that's good."
After hearing this, Mao Shanming felt less worried.
"Master, I see that there are so many people gathered in the Bohe Inn today. Is there anything going on today?"
Xu Ce asked.
Uncle Jiu nodded,
"There may be action, or there may not be action. The main thing is to see if the horse thieves show up. We have prepared a dragnet here. As long as they dare to come, they will not come back!"
As the sky gradually darkened, the benefits of staying in an inn became apparent. The kitchen prepared meals directly and served them to everyone.
After dinner, Xu Ce roughly estimated the time. It was almost the first watch, but there was still no movement outside.
"Master, when did those horse thieves appear the first two times?"
Xu Ce asked.
At this time, before Uncle Jiu could answer, Ah Wei said:
"My benefactor, these horse thieves usually appear between the second watch and the third watch, but it is not ruled out that they come earlier. In short, we cannot take it lightly."
Xu Ce looked at Ah Wei and had a feeling that after not seeing him for a long time, this guy looked much more stable than before and no longer so fussy.
"Awei, has anything happened to any of the brothers in Renjia Town?"
Xu Ce thought for a while and asked casually.
"Thank you for your concern, my benefactor. Everyone is fine and everything is fine."
Ah Wei replied.
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted:
"Report, report!"
A man in security uniform ran in hurriedly, panting, and said:
"No, horse thieves, the horse thieves are here again! The brothers over there in the woods just reported that they found the horse thieves. Captain, we, let's go over quickly to provide support!"
After Ah Wei and the security captain of Taishan Town looked at each other, they both looked at Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu didn't talk nonsense. He waved his hand and shouted domineeringly:
"Take the guys and set off immediately!"
Dozens of people, some carrying machetes and some with guns, rushed out menacingly.
"Where are we going?"
Xu Ce asked.
"In the small woods outside the town, we have also arranged for manpower to set up traps there. We have to hurry up and try to get there before the horse thieves arrive."
Uncle Jiu spoke very urgently, waving his hands and shouting:
"Move quickly, and you must seize this opportunity!"
After a while, dozens of people all arrived at the grove at the entrance of the town. In the middle of the grove was a spacious official road. The road surface was neat and quiet, and it looked very dark under the moonlight.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, watching these people find their respective positions in a familiar manner, which must have been rehearsed in advance.
After about half a stick of incense, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the silent night sky. From far to near, the sound was very dense, and there must be many people there.
"The horse thief is coming, everyone be prepared!"
Ah Wei shouted in a low voice.
Everyone received the order and stood ready.
Xu Ce raised his head and looked outside. He was also very curious and wanted to know what these horse thieves who knew magic looked like. To subdue demons and eliminate demons, they must use force.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Xu Ce's mind.
"Ding, the latest check-in task has been generated."
"Ding, this mission is a multi-person sign-in mission. Killing a horse thief who knows magic can get 300 sign-in points as a reward. Killing an ordinary horse thief can get a 100 sign-in point reward. There is no upper limit and no time limit."
Xu Ce's eyes lit up, it was so clear that it was inevitable to take action this time, but he didn't expect that it could be combined with the sign-in task.
The mission of counting heads means that the more you kill, the more you get. It is very good and Xu Ce said he likes it very much.
If you add in the double sign-in privileges during the foundation building period, it wouldn’t feel too good!
Not to mention that in the future, it is very possible to reap a wave of check-in income of tens of thousands!
"Benefactor, Taoist Master Mao, take it, you can use it."
Ah Wei lay low and took two machetes, handing one to Xu Ce and the other to Mao Shanming.
