They fought for a while.

Luo Yan roughly figured out that this person surnamed Luo was at the advanced level two.

However, his skills are quite poor.

He's not even as good as Chu Yuan, who died at his own hands before.

There were also no strange Mystic Art belonging to Ouyang Hua.

Among the core members of 'Yellow Springs', he's probably at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly used the secret technique ' Spirit Gate Opening '.

This secret technique greatly enhances his agility, physical resilience, and reaction speed.

Instantly.

Luo Yan's battle tactics have been modified.

He no longer clashed swords with Luo Zi, his body moving like a Ephemeral Fish.

Suddenly, he slipped past Luo Zi's gun and flashed within three steps of his opponent.

The ' Blood Drinker ' longsword, carrying a strong, pungent stench, plunged straight in, aiming for Luo Zi's throat.

Luo Zi hurriedly dragged the spear, pulled it up sharply, and blocked 'Snow Drink'.

Previously, the charge was a head-on collision with the 'Snow Drink', but this time there was no impact to the gun body.

Under Luo Yan's control, the longsword lightly circled half a circle around the spear before sliding forward.

It slashed across Luo Zi's left hand, which was holding the gun, leaving a spray of blood.

Luo Zi screamed and retreated, switching the gun to his right hand. He held the gun with one hand, still shaking the tip.

The spear tip hissed and shot out several inches of spear light, which spread in the air to prevent Luo Yan from pursuing.

Luo Yan acted as if he hadn't seen the spear lights and charged straight at them.

Luo Zi shouted, and although he held the gun in one hand, the gun still moved like a dragon, with the tip of the gun blooming into flowers in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan suddenly blurred into a blur, nimbly bypassing the most intense point of the spear thrust and flashing to Luo Zi's injured left arm.

The ' Blood Drinker ' sword pulsed continuously, its long blade seemingly weak and unsteady, yet it was actually aimed at Luo Zi's weakness and vulnerability with a cunning angle.

Luo Yan's attacks were swift and relentless, leaving Luo Zi drenched in sweat. Suddenly, he feinted with ' Blood Drinker ' to lure Luo Zi into a defensive stance.

Luo Yan's sword stance suddenly changed, twisting around Luo Yan's right hand with the agility of a snake.

Luo Zi screamed, blood spurting from the fingers gripping the gun, and could no longer hold it.

The spear fell to the ground instantly.

At this moment, Luo Yan kicked out and struck Luo Zi in the chest, causing a burning sensation in his heart and making him groan and open his mouth.

Just then...

Luo Zi saw the masked man opposite her, flipped her hand, and then slapped the mask into her mouth.

He immediately felt something cool, smooth, and slightly sweet slide down his esophagus.

Luo Zi was startled, and then Luo Yan patted him on the neck again.

The pat caused the muscles in his neck to twitch, making him swallow.

Luo Zi retreated repeatedly, then reached down to gag at her throat, retching violently.

But nothing came out.

He then looked up at Luo Yan: "What did you make me eat!"

Blood Drinker to the ground, Luo Yan said slowly, "Don't be nervous, it's just a piece of candy."

sugar?

Luo Zi naturally wouldn't believe it.

Luo Yan gave himself candy for no apparent reason.

His pupils would dilate as he cried out, "That's poison, isn't it!"

Luo Yan did not answer his question directly.

But he said...

"Anyway, you won't die anytime soon, so really, don't be too nervous."

"Let's make a deal."

"I don't want to be constantly bothered by you 'Yellow Springs,' so after you go back..."

"Why don't you tell the reports that the Coyote Camp is now in your possession?"

"If you're willing to cooperate, come see me around this time next month."

"I'll treat you to candy."

Cold sweat trickled down Luo Zi's forehead; he was now certain.

Luo Yan must have given himself poison.

But it's not a poison that takes effect immediately.

I'll come see him again next month.

He would then give himself the antidote.

Or is it a drug that temporarily alleviates the toxicity?

Luo Zi said in a deep voice, "You want me to betray the organization? No way!"

Luo Yan didn't believe this person could be so loyal.

"You're not exactly a big shot in the 'Yellow Springs,' is it really worth risking your life for an organization?"

"Besides, if your entire army is wiped out and you can't even capture a camp, what do you think others will think of you?"

"You can say that this camp is controlled by 'black witches,' and I can even give you a few pieces of information about 'black witches' for free to increase your credibility and persuasiveness."

"This way, you'll still be valued within the organization, while I'll avoid being constantly harassed by you."

Luo Zi's eyes widened. "You're one of the 'Black Witches'?"

Luo Yan did not answer.

Instead, they gave him a few unimportant pieces of information.

Then he turned and left.

"Remember."

"Come find me in a month."

Watching Luo Yan disappear into the darkness, Luo Zi still couldn't quite believe it.

I'm not dead.

So what?

He was poisoned and from then on, he was controlled by the masked man.

Thinking of this, Luo Zi sighed.

Being controlled is better than dying now.

As long as a person is alive, there will always be a chance.

He picked up the rifle, disassembled it, and left dejectedly outside the village.

Luo Yan and Yang Hao, among others, reunited.

"Mister Red Ghost, is it all done?" Yang Hao asked.

Luo Yan nodded. "I've released Luo Zi. For the next while, we shouldn't be bothered by 'Huang Quan' anymore."

Yang Hao looked bewildered, wondering what the connection was between letting Luo Zi go and preventing the camp from being disturbed.

Luo Yan briefly explained what had happened.

Yang Hao realized that Luo Yan used poison to control Luo Zi to prevent her from being targeted by 'Huang Quan' again; otherwise, the mecha training center at the camp would not be able to be established.

Walking beside Luo Yan, Yang Tao looked at him with admiration. "Teacher, so you had this planned all along."

Luo Yan replied, "No, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision."

He only had this idea because he saw that Luo Zi's strength was average.

If someone is very powerful but loses all their subordinates, it's bound to arouse suspicion.

Furthermore, because Luo Zi's strength is at the bottom and he needs to solve his survival problem, the chances of him cooperating with Luo Yan are even higher.

For various reasons, Luo Yan changed his strategy from hunting down Luo Zi to controlling him.

Yang Tao asked, puzzled, "If it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, why would you have medicine with you, Teacher? Do you always carry it with you?"

Hearing Xiao Taozi's words, Yang Hao felt a chill run down his spine.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan said, "What I gave him wasn't medicine."

"It's just a piece of candy."

As he spoke, Luo Yan took out a bag of candy and handed it to Yang Tao: "This was originally meant to be a gift for you."

Yang Tao's mouth dropped open, both happy that Luo Yan had brought her a gift and surprised that her teacher had actually fed the other person a piece of candy.

Yang Hao was also taken aback for a moment, then said, "What if he goes back for a checkup and doesn't find he's been poisoned? Wouldn't that expose your plan, Mister Red Ghost?"

Luo Yan glanced at him. "What if you were on the Battlefield, forcibly fed unknown things, and the other side generously provided you with intelligence and let you go?"

"After you went back and had a medical check-up, which found nothing wrong, are you really at ease now?"

Yang Hao thought for a moment, then smiled, "I am indeed worried. On the contrary, I am even more certain that I have been poisoned."

"Luo Zi would think the same way."

Luo Yan smiled behind his mask, though of course he wasn't entirely confident.

However, since Luo Zi has seen through his plan, he'll still have to deal with 'Huang Quan' no matter what.

But if successful, the Coyote Camp will be able to live in peace for a while.

Once Mech Master are trained and can engage in actual combat, they will no longer be afraid of 'Yellow Springs'.

Moreover, Yu Qiushui had already planned a war against 'Huang Quan'.

Perhaps the problem of 'Yellow Springs' will be solved before long.

"Let's go back to camp!"
