"It's almost time." Miaomiao said.
"What?" Miyin glanced at her, wondering what she meant.
"I entangled seven poisonous needles in the satin. After the first successful attack, I have succeeded. Now, it is time for the poison to be released. There is a drug to numb the senses on the tips of those needles, which penetrates into the human body. Inside the body, there is no feeling as if being bitten by a mosquito. But the process of poisoning afterwards is not just as simple as itchy skin."
She smiled like a proud child. Xue Miyin was slightly startled, feeling a little complicated. Poisoning, concealed weapons, backstabbing, these techniques are crude, but most of them are effective. Compared to an opponent who has mastered the world's martial arts, without using such methods, there may be no chance of winning. Should I say she is smart? Even though it's not very honorable...that's all, life still matters, why do you care?
"……I see."
Wei Donglin probably noticed it at that time, but he was not completely sure until now. She touched the arm with one hand and other parts of her body, probably to determine the number of poisonous needles. Has the poison taken effect? It's hard to tell yet, after all, her face has always been so pale, just like the snow around her.
"You are very smart."
She complimented without changing her expression and stepped forward slowly. Miyin was a little nervous, but her friend didn't seem worried. Instead, she said easily:
"Next, all we have to do is delay. When the effects of the seven poisonous needles begin to emerge, it will be easy to take away things from a dead person that do not belong to her."
"...want to kill someone?"
Xue Miyin wasn't hesitant, but he just felt that maybe it wouldn't go to that point. Before Wei Donglin approached, she received this reply:
"Sometimes, if we don't kill someone, we will be killed by others. This is the law of the monster world. However, the poison I use is not that terrible. It depends on the person's constitution. Those with stronger bones will be disabled at most. It shouldn’t be a big deal to this killer friend, right?”
Having said that…
Before Miyin could react, Wei Donglin suddenly attacked Miaomiao like lightning and missed him. At that moment, she felt a biting cold wind penetrate into her skin. Even though there was no contact, she could clearly feel that there seemed to be an ice blade, pushing bit by bit from under her skin, as if to cut the flesh. Same. When he came back to his senses, there was already a fight over there. They had already rushed outside the big snowless circle. Miyin only saw long red silk ribbons dancing in the sky, and a ghostly black shadow that kept flashing. Even she, an outsider, could notice that the black shadow had slowed down a bit. Miaomiao was indeed deliberately trying to distance the two of them. Perhaps in her view, Wei Donglin was like an annoying mosquito that couldn't be driven away.
But speaking of it, she never considered herself an opponent. Is it because Mi Yin is not taken seriously by her at all, or does she think that she only needs to deal with the mastermind? No matter what, Miyin rushed towards the direction of their battle to see if he could be of any help. When she got closer, she discovered that such a battle scene was almost completely out of her knowledge. It was different from the previous battles she had experienced when traveling with Ye Linghua and the others.
On this vast white sloping plain, there was no platform for them to draw strength from. Not to mention trees or buildings, there were not even slightly taller stones. But they just kept hitting each other until they reached the sky. The moves of the two dazzled her, and just then she saw clearly who was where, and in the blink of an eye they appeared on the other side. The long red silk at both ends hit Wei Donglin countless times, like two snakes swimming swiftly. At this time, Wei Donglin suddenly drew an arc in the air with his hands. It seemed to be a Tai Chi gesture, but before Xue Miyin could confirm it, a layer of snow on the ground suddenly flew into the sky, like an invisible giant blowing its breath towards the mountains. The snow layer did not disappear completely, but was thinned. The flying snowflakes were swirling around Wei Donglin, moving in the direction of her luck. All the snow condensed together to form crystal clear crystals, like fragments of transparent quartz surrounding her. It is not difficult to find through the trajectory of the broken crystals that they form a layer of moving spheres around Wei Donglin. Every ice crystal is moving quickly. If anyone reaches over, they will definitely be cut into pieces by these ice knives, including their bones. She floated quietly inside the sphere, and the outer crystals continued to refract sunlight. Countless shining light spots moved at high speed on the ground, passing their eyes from time to time, causing their eyes to sting.
Miaomiao tried to whip Chang Ling over, but the moment she came into contact with the spirit shell, she was violently bounced away. However, from the spirit shell, two ice crystals deliberately detached themselves from the orbit and ran towards Miaomiao. She sided her face and dodged the first one, but was scratched on the shoulder by the second one. The skin was broken and black blood slowly overflowed. The injury was not serious, but the injured person grimaced in pain. The fangs unique to snakes emerged from her mouth, and Miyin took a few steps forward worriedly.
"Uh...cough-!"
At this moment, the spiritual field around Wei Donglin suddenly collapsed, crystals rained down, and she herself fell down. Those ice flakes stuck in the ground reflect the sunlight and have a different kind of beauty. It's just that among these colorful fragments, the woman in black lies prone, which looks a bit disgraceful. Her long gray hair lay on her back like dirty snow.
Wei Donglin slowly got up, leaving the same black blood on his mouth and on the ground.
The toxicity finally kicked in.
"You lasted longer than I thought." Miaomiao nodded approvingly, "But even so, I still couldn't force you to use the move of subduing the magic pestle? You can't really do this, right? Zuo Renmen Are all the killers as useless as you?"
Xue Miyin had expected something a long time ago - Miaomiao was so eloquent that she was even a bit mean to others. But it is undeniable that she, like Miaomiao, really wants to experience the power of the magic pestle. However, in order to save her life, Miaomiao would never let her touch her. No matter how you say it, the Subduing Demonic Pestle is just a short-term weapon, as long as it is not within the attack range...
Suddenly, Miyin felt a strong suction.
She was dragged forward by an invisible force, getting closer and closer to the woman in black. She couldn't even feel which part of her body was the focus. She just felt that every inch of air was kidnapping her. Is this a spell that can manipulate field forces? Or internal force? No matter what it is, Miyin can't break free. She tried to get close to the strings with her hands, but her whole body seemed to be frozen and unable to move. She almost forgot that the Subduing Demonic Pestle could enable her to master almost all the secret skills in the world. Moreover, this woman is not righteous enough to let herself go "on a case-by-case basis" - even though she admits that she is an accomplice.
Wei Donglin strangled her neck and her legs lifted off the ground. Being so close, she realized that this woman was terrifyingly tall. The opponent's arms were perpendicular to the ground, and his head was almost at the same height as hers, but her feet were dangling in the air, and she couldn't get rid of him despite struggling. The woman hadn't exerted much force yet, but she felt that the woman's hands were like withered dry wood, and her fingers were slender and craggy, which was intimidating. Her other hand hung naturally by her side, and Miyin could see that the Demon-Conquering Pestle was held in that hand.
Miaomiao stopped.
"Antidote."
She got it. The woman used her as a bargaining chip to threaten Miaomiao into handing over the antidote.
"..."
Sure enough, Miaomiao's hand stopped. The silk satin was put back with a rustle. She looked at the two people over there with some hesitation.
"How should I put it..." She spread her hands, "There is no antidote. This is snake venom. The amount is not fatal, but it is enough to make people incapacitated. Whether you can survive it depends on your own destiny. Even if you It won't help if you really crush my friend's neck. If you let her go now, you still have time to use your skills to force the poisonous needle out. When the point of no return is reached, you may really want to give up the magic weapon. See you off."
Wei Donglin's eyes were as cold as the whole world. She squinted her eyes and stared at Mi Yin, her face still facing forward. Looking at this mask up close, it doesn't look like ice, nor does it look like crystal. I don't know what kind of scary thing it is. She tightened her grip slightly, and Miyin struggled to scratch her hand. Her skin was also so hard and cold that no traces could be left, and she seemed unmoved as if she felt no pain.
Suddenly, they heard a shrill meow.
Wei Donglin lowered his head and saw a fluffy cat at his feet, breathing towards her. The hair all over its body became fluffy and looked like a huge hair ball. But compared to the height of the woman in black, it was still too small. The woman didn't seem to like cats. She took two steps back, but Amiao jumped forward again. Therefore, Wei Donglin tightened his grip on Miyin's throat, making her almost breathless and letting out intermittent helpless gasps. Amiao was frightened. It immediately drooped its ears and took a few steps back.
"What a good cat."
She sighed coldly, not knowing what she meant.
At this time, Amiao suddenly showed a little uneasiness, but it was not because of this woman who threatened its owner. It spun around twice, making a restless low sound. This kind of behavior is reminiscent of the abnormal behavior of animals before a major disaster occurs. But now the wind is calm, the sky is pure, and there is no mountain snow around to create avalanche conditions.
Xue Miyin had a weird premonition.
She suddenly moved her gaze to the sky. Wei Donglin noticed it and looked there. It was just after noon, and the sun was blocked by some mountains, but the sky was still bright blue. Thick clouds are distributed irregularly, in groups, with distinct light and dark. However, in the area they were looking at, there was a small white dot approaching, gradually getting bigger, as if it was plucked from a cloud and thrown into the world. But this cloud is not that light. Instead, it is as unstoppable as a meteorite. As the howling wind approached, Xue Miyin's pupils suddenly dilated, and a biting chill spread from his spine to the top of his head.
Of all the people present, only she realized one thing.
That's not a cloud, it's a white tengu.
