Terrifying Physical Strength; Wait Until I Return
Lu Ning looked at Shui Bing'er's delicate face.
His face remained stiff for a while.
"What if, once we enter the Inner Area, the snow is too heavy to find the vegetation hidden beneath it?"
Shui Bing'er looked at Lu Ning's serious expression.
He added earnestly, "The most important thing is still to determine direction by the sun. However, autumn is not winter. If the sky is completely dark for half a month, then there is another method: to determine direction by the wind."
"Wind is one type, and the lair of Soul Beast is another."
For example, the Ice Sword Tiger's lair tends to face east.
"For example, when the Azure-Winged Snow Eagle builds its nest, it likes to erect a long wooden fork on the north side."
"If this doesn't work..."
Shui Bing'er shrugged.
"Then we can only leave it to fate."
"But with your strength, as long as we don't wander off and don't get too unlucky, we should be able to survive for a few months in the Inner Area, even if we live like savages."
Looking at Shui Bing'er's confident expression, Lu Ning pressed her for an answer, "Is this how Old Ghost and the others determine direction?"
Shui Bing'er nodded.
"Pretty much the same, I guess."
"Moreover, what we know is a common practice in the Far North, regardless of whether it's the Inner Area perimeter. They often roam the outer perimeter, so it's certain they have more experience there, but as for the Inner Area..."
"I guarantee they don't know as much as we do."
"That's for sure."
Lu Ning said no more.
She stood up and walked towards the Wretched Man Old Ghost man.
The three of them had just finished talking.
They were just trying to stall for time until the effects of the drug on Lu Ning took hold.
He saw Lu Ning approaching.
The Wretched Man Old Ghost man wore a fake smile, "Young man, you're here? We were just about to come looking for you."
"I don't think the weather looks good today."
"Snowstorms could strike at any time."
"Let's wait until noon and see. If it's not light by then, we'll have to turn back."
"After all, there's nothing we can do when the snowstorm hits."
The Fat and Thin Immortal Children behind him remained silent.
However, Lu Ning seemed to have ill intentions.
Lu Ning took out the wine flask in his hand and gently shook it. "Where did you buy this medicine? It's quite effective."
Lu Ning didn't pretend to wait for them to make a move.
Just by looking at Xiao Wu and Shui Bing'er, Lu Ning knew what they were thinking. Besides, they had already drugged them, so there was no reason to wait for them to make a move and then stand on the high ground of "justice" to punish evil and promote good.
"Medicine? What medicine?" The Wretched Man 'Old Ghost tone was somewhat weak as he looked at the Thin Fairy Boy. Wasn't this medicine bought from the Breaking Clan? How did this kid figure it out?
Wasn't it said to be colorless and odorless?
Lu Ning had spent half a year with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Even though he hadn't studied seriously, he still understood some of the principles of toxicology. Dugu Bo had nothing to boast about except for his own toxins, which he was very proud of.
Naturally, the topic they discussed most with Lu Ning was this toxin.
He couldn't possibly talk to Lu Ning about his granddaughter, could he?
Over time.
Lu Ning was naturally able to distinguish some toxins.
Even if we take a step back and say...
Even if you don't understand anything.
The adverse reactions that the body sends back are always limited.
Even a poison that wouldn't have much effect on a Soul Saint couldn't possibly harm him.
Hehehe.
"Just keep it in mind."
Lu Ning raised his hand and reached out to grab the Wretched Man Old Ghost.
With a single hand, he cleaved through the wind and grabbed the Wretched Man Old Ghost's shoulder. The movement was so fast that the old ghost didn't even have time to release his Martial Soul. His left shoulder was firmly held by Lu Ning, who then flicked his wrist slightly.
Lu Ning dislocated the Wretched Man Old Ghost's shoulder.
Ah!
A feeling of pain arises.
The Wretched Man Old Ghost's Martial Soul was activated on its own.
But he was just a Control System Soul King.
Moreover, he was one of the weakest among the Soul King.
How could they possibly withstand the attack of Power Attack System Soul Saint like Lu Ning, not to mention that Lu Ning's physical strength was even slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo?
"Do it!"
The Fat and Thin Immortal Children saw this.
They immediately unleashed their own Martial Soul.
The Black Water Turtle and the Ice Spear Martial Soul were revealed behind them.
Lu Ning took only one step.
He raised his foot and kicked towards the Fat Fairy Boy.
Fat Fairy Boy is Defense System Soul King. His greatest strength is defense, which is his proudest skill. He released his Soul Skill the moment Lu Ning made his move.
"First Soul Skill, Turtle Shield!"
A shield with a tortoise shell pattern appeared in his hand.
It blocked his way.
This is how he usually works with the Thin Fairy Boy.
He is primarily defensive, while the Thin Fairy Boy is primarily offensive.
Dealing with those easy targets from the past will be no problem at all.
But Lu Ning simply raised his leg to kick.
The Turtle Shield had previously been able to withstand countless attacks, couldn't even defend against a kick that didn't contain even a trace of Soul Power. The tortoise shell shield was shattered, and fragments flew in all directions.
The Fat Fairy Boy staggered back several steps, his eyes wide, forcibly suppressing the backlash from his broken Soul Skill. The tortoise shell was part of his Martial Soul, and although it was different from his Martial Soul being broken, it still damaged his vital energy.
"This kid is a monster!"
"Run!"
The Fat Fairy Boy did not hesitate.
He shouted directly.
In all his years of wandering the martial world, he had never seen such a terrifying fellow.
He could shatter his own Soul Skill with a single kick.
Even Power Attack System Soul Master with Beast Martial Soul might not be able to do that, right?
The Thin Fairy Boy reacted even faster than him.
The Fat Fairy Boy needed to use his Soul Skill to realize how terrifying Lu Ning was, but he had already sensed Lu Ning's extraordinary nature from the moment Lu Ning raised his hand to deflect the Wretched Man Old Ghost's attack.
Compared to the Fat Fairy Boy.
He had absolutely no desire to make a move.
While the Fat Fairy Boy was still using his Soul Skill to try and resist.
He sensed the crisis in advance.
I'd already wanted to run away.
"Grass!"
The Fat Fairy Boy watched the Thin Fairy Boy flee a hundred meters away and cursed angrily.
Although it is said that when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives.
But aren't you flying a little too fast?
"Young man, let's talk this out."
"Going into the Inner Area, is that right?"
"We'll go in, we'll go in, spare our lives, we'll lead the way." The Fat Fairy Boy spoke, his face bearing his usual cheerful smile, his tone amiable, though his trembling legs betrayed him.
Lu Ning forced a smile similar to his, "Alright, sparing your life is definitely not a problem. I believe in the way of Heaven and have never liked killing."
Suddenly, Lu Ning turned around.
The movements were extremely fast.
That long, slender leg kicked out directly.
He kicked the Wretched Man Old Ghost man's legs and broke them.
With a flick of the wrist.
The Wretched Man Old Ghost's two arms were completely severed.
He looked like a fried dough stick standing upright, his face contorted in agony. He wanted to scream, but the excruciating pain choked him, preventing him from uttering a single word.
Lu Ning grabbed his body and forcefully injected his Soul Power, severing all his meridians. The Soul Power within his body scattered and fled, and from this moment on, he became a complete cripple.
Lu Ning did not stop.
They forcibly inserted him into the surrounding ice and snow.
"If you just stay here until I return from the Inner Area, I'll let you go."
