Seeing Chen Duo turn to run away, Xiao Tian became unhappy. He sincerely wanted to guide this girl in cultivating immortality, so why was she reacting like this? Did she think he was Divine Staff?
Although Chen Duo was fast, Xiao Tian was even faster and intercepted Chen Duo again.
" Brother Zhan, be careful!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed as he saw Chen Duo unleash a burst of deep green Qi, attacking Xiao Tian.
"The Qi of Gu poison, is it?" Xiao Tian did not dodge, and a layer of Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame appeared between his palms.
The Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame possesses the essence of the Devouring Nihility Flame, capable of devouring all things. Although Chen Duo's Gu poison energy is very strong, ordinary people would die from poisoning upon contact, and even the energy of Evolver would be contaminated, leading to poisoning. Unfortunately, she encountered Xiao Tian.
To Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and the temporary worker Old Meng who arrived at the scene, Xiao Tian appeared to be touching Chen Duo's Gu poison palm with his bare hands.
Without much commotion, the three sharp-eyed individuals only noticed that Chen Duo's Gu poison energy was distorted and abruptly disappeared, while Xiao Tian's palm remained completely unaffected, ignoring the potent poison.
"This!" Old Meng, the temporary worker, was astonished, wondering what trick Xiao Tian had used to be able to ignore the poison of the Holy Child of the Gu Body Chen Duo.
Chen Duo was someone he brought out of the Medicine Immortals Society back then. Old Meng knew very well how terrible the poison in Chen Duo's body was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been wearing an isolation suit all the time. Otherwise, if the poison spread out, both Evolver and ordinary people would be affected. Even precision instruments, tables, chairs, stones, and iron would be corroded and destroyed.
At this moment, Xiao Tian's eyes lit up.
"Delicious!"
Chen Duo's poisonous energy was really delicious! While he was using the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame to devour and transform his own magical power, his Achievement Points actually appeared.
1/9!
In other words, if he consumes Chen Duo's powerful Gu poison nine more times, he will gain one Achievement Points! With the added bonus of the previous Achievement Points bonus of tripling, that's three Achievement Points!
I'm so excited and happy just thinking about it!
Chen Duo was intrigued by Xiao Tian's ability to ignore her poison and the fact that her poison mysteriously disappeared upon contact with Xiao Tian's palm.
Chen Duo turned around, not wanting to attack Xiao Tian again, and looked for a way to escape.
"Hey girl, don't run away! Come cultivate immortality with me!"
Xiao Tian's speed reached supersonic speeds without creating a sonic boom, and he blocked Chen Duo's path like Gui Mei.
Chen Duo remained expressionless and turned around again.
And so, Feng Baobao Wang Zhenqiu, Zhang Chulan, Old Meng, and Xiao Zizai Zhenqiu, who arrived later, watched Xiao Tian and Chen Duo 'playing'.
Chen Duo has an exceptionally good temper, or rather, she is too rational and calm. Since her first attack on Xiao Tian, she has not attacked again, which makes Xiao Tian very uncomfortable and makes it difficult for him to make progress in his Achievement Points.
" Duoduo, let's cultivate immortality together. Why go to the village? I can help you control the Gu poison in your body."
"Control?"
Chen Duo spoke up.
Zhang Chulan and the others were surprised. They all thought this girl was mute, but they didn't expect her voice to be so pleasant.
"Yeah, how about it? Come with me to cultivate immortality." Xiao Tian chuckled, reaching out to grab Chen Duo's arm.
Chen Duo instinctively stepped back to avoid him, recalling Liao Zhong's promise to help her control the Gu poison in her body, but he still failed.
Does wearing protective suits count as epidemic control?
Chen Duo recalled how envious she felt every time she saw news articles on her phone from social media, featuring beautiful women's outfits and figures.
It's not that I envy their figures, but that I envy them because they are ordinary people who can have their own style of dressing.
She carries a highly toxic substance, and without protective clothing, she could potentially harm others. In official terms, she poses a significant destabilizing factor for social development.
"Fraud."
Chen Duo spoke calmly and casually, beginning to release the Gu poison.
"Life Gu - King Serpent!"
This technique involves Chen Duo cultivating countless king snakes using the Primordial Gu Poison within her body, which then help her release terrifying poison gas during combat.
Rustling!
For a moment, Zhang Chulan and Old Meng felt a chill run down their spines.
Thousands upon thousands of king serpents suddenly appeared, their dark green venomous gas turning into a mist that instantly transformed into monstrous faces, like Taotie ready to devour Xiao Tian.
" Brother Zhan, watch out!"
Xiao Tian didn't take Zhang Chulan's reminder to heart; instead, he became even more excited.
"Good timing!"
The Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame spread out, protecting him. Xiao Tian, like a beam of light, rushed into the poisonous fog, much like a spaceship plunging into a collapsing neutron star.
In an instant, the poisonous fog ignited and exploded!
White smoke billowed into the sky, and a golden light tinged with purple shimmered within, revealing a divine dragon soaring about.
Zhang Chulan, Xiao Zizai, Feng Baobao, and the others only saw the king serpents collapse and disintegrate, twisting and turning into poisonous gas that gathered into a toxic mist.
Chen Duo sensed Xiao Tian's power and, without even checking whether her attack could kill Xiao Tian, turned to run.
" Duoduo, let's cultivate immortality together."
Suddenly, Chen Duo's delicate body trembled, and she felt a hand gripping her wrist, gentle yet strong, holding her tightly, and the temperature was so warm.
"You..." Chen Duo turned her head. She didn't know when, but Xiao Tian had emerged from the poisonous fog. He was clean and tidy, without any trace of the mess from the battle, and his smile was so bright and sunny.
That smile looks familiar.
Chen Duo couldn't help but recall the days she spent living in the Dark Fortress since childhood before she became a temporary worker.
" Chen Junyan."
My partner's face came to mind.
The cold, Dark Fortress, the adults' disgusted and fearful gazes—only that boy remained.
At this moment, Old Meng gasped, because Chen Duo's protective suit was torn, revealing patches of green spots, the highly toxic gas concealed within the wounds.
" Xiao Zhan, let go!"
Xiao Tian ignored Old Meng's reminder, smiling gently as he gazed at Chen Duo.
"I have a way to give you permanent control over the Gu poison within your body."
Upon hearing this, Chen Duo's eyes trembled.
"Release."
Xiao Tian scratched his head and said with a sneer, "I'm not in a hurry. You can go now. I'll stay in the village. Remember what I said, I can help you control the Gu poison. You can come find me whenever you want."
Chen Duo frowned, looking at Xiao Tian who had let go of her hand, and memorized Xiao Tian's appearance.
Why aren't you afraid of poison?
Xiao Tian grinned and said, "Because we're the same kind."
Chen Duo was puzzled, but instinctively knew that this young man was terrifying, the most terrifying person she had ever met in her life.
Chen Duo chose to escape.
"Don't chase them."
Wang Zhenqiu gave chase, but was intercepted by Xiao Tian.
Comrade Zhenqiu, whose shoulder was being gripped by Xiao Tian, smiled brightly and turned to look at Xiao Tian, saying with great confusion, "Why did you just let him go like that? Have you forgotten our mission?"
"That's right, you're not a temporary worker, what are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian was speechless, realizing that this guy was using this opportunity to cause trouble.
" Chen Duo can't escape Biyou Village. In my opinion, the village itself is more interesting."
As he spoke, Xiao Tian scanned his surroundings, sensing some people secretly watching him.
"Let's listen to Brother Xiao Zhan and see if we can stay in the village first." Xiao Zizai smiled, raised his arm, and adjusted his glasses.
" Brother Zhan, you really scared me to death! That was so poisonous, how could you withstand it?" Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief.
My understanding of Xiao Tian's mystery has deepened.
"Let's go, into the village. Hopefully they won't kick us out, otherwise I'll have to resort to drastic measures."
Xiao Zizai smiled, actually hoping that someone in the village would refuse them entry, so that he could see Xiao Tian unleash his power.
As Xiao Tian and the others saw the boundary marker of Biyou Village, a number of people quickly appeared at the marker.
"Gentlemen, our village does not receive outsiders. Please leave."
Zhang Chulan stepped forward and smiled, "Brother, we got lost while traveling at night. We just need a place to stay for the night. We can pay for it."
"Stay here." A voice came from afar within the village, and it was clear that the speaker possessed extraordinary skill.
"Village chief, this isn't right."
As a handsome young man with long, flowing silver hair and a dashing air appeared, the villagers were taken aback.
"You've come from afar. My Biyou Village is secluded and isolated, but we're not heartless. Please pay your own way."
"Village chief, don't worry, we have plenty of money." Xiao Tian chuckled, making Zhang Chulan's lips twitch.
If one weren't highly skilled and daring enough to speak like that in an unfamiliar place, it's highly likely they would have been drugged and bound afterward, losing both their money and their life.
As they entered the village, Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao saw familiar faces.
"Yo ho, isn't this Wang Ye? What are you doing here? But this place is indeed a good hiding place. Speaking of which, you're too cowardly. We've already taken care of your dad, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Tian curled his lip, his expression disdainful.
Wang Ye was speechless. How could he encounter these three here?
Wang Ye glanced at Xiao Zizai, Old Meng, and Wang Zhenqiu, whose gender was indistinguishable.
"Village chief, those three are my friends." Wang Ye pointed to Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao.
Village chief Ma Xianhong's smile widened, and he said, "Since he's Wang Ye Ye's friend, he can stay anywhere in the village without paying."
"Village chief, that won't do. Everyone needs to make a living, and besides, I have a big appetite. I'm afraid I'll eat your village out of house and home. You still have to pay."
"Village chief, this guy's appetite is terrifying, it's more than several pigs' worth. Take his money, take a lot, don't be shy," Wang Ye said.
"Alright, Qiu Rang you to arrange accommodations for them and take good care of them."
"Yes, village chief."
Xiao Tian walked up to Wang Ye, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "You've come here to enjoy yourself, kid. Why didn't you say so earlier? This village is actually a village of Evolver. Interesting."
"Village chief, I see you are surrounded by black aura, and your forehead is grayish-purple. I fear a disaster may befall you soon."
As soon as Xiao Zizai, Wang Zhenqiu, and Old Meng took their first steps, they immediately prepared for battle, and some of the surrounding villagers began to glare at them with hostility.
Zhang Chulan secretly broke out in a cold sweat, speechless at Xiao Tian's sudden foray into the world of Divine Staff.
"Hahaha!" Wang Ye amused.
"Village chief, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He's just a scoundrel who cheats people out of money and food."
Ma Xianhong smiled and said, "I can tell. What's your name, brother? I am Ma Xianhong, the Biyou Village."
"Hehehe, Village Chief Ma, hello. I 'Xiao Zhan, the 'xiao' as in 'fighting heaven and earth'."
Wang Ye's lips twitched slightly. Had they changed the name again?
"Brother Xiao Zhan is no ordinary man. How about I show you around some of the village's scenic spots? Although it's dark, the moonlight is bright, offering a unique charm."
"That would be wonderful. If there were good wine and meat, it would be even more comfortable."
Ma Xianhong smiled and ordered his men to hurry up and prepare, while inwardly marveling at how Xiao Zhan could ignore Chen Duo's Gu poison with his bare hands.
