The sun shines lightly on the trees that still have some snow, and the slightly muddy road endures the trampling and crushing day after day without complaint.
The clatter of horse hooves sounded on the road again.
The trees on both sides were blown by the breeze, as if they knew that this road would be trampled again.
As the sun set, Gu Meng's team marched slowly and dullly like a defeated army.
"I estimate that in another two to three quarters of an hour, we will be able to reach Fulong City." A servant said softly.
"Yes, but the eldest lady and the eldest elder..."
"Shhh! Don't say too much, be careful if they overhear it. This time we lost the entire batch of Ganoderma lucidum. We are pretty good, at most we just get scolded, but then the eldest lady and the eldest elder will be in trouble. You may not know what those people in the clan will say about them!"
"Yes, this is the last batch of Ganoderma lucidum that can be harvested in the entire medicine city. If it is gone this time, our competition with the Xue family will probably be in vain. There is no need to wait until three days later, now You can completely admit defeat!”
"Alas, if we lose this competition, the Gu family's status in Fulong City will also plummet. With the Xue family's temperament, they will definitely not leave any chance for our Gu family. The Gu family has stayed in Fulong City for so long, and they will eventually... Become a thing of the past.”
The disappointed whispers of the servants seemed to cast a shadow of despair on this road with no end.
Gu Meng, who was riding at the front of the team, also had a gloomy look on his face at this time, completely losing the gentleness he had before.
When the old servant Gufeng heard the discussion of these servants, he didn't bother to reprimand him. He could only turn a blind eye and ignore them.
A dark cloud drifted by, precipitating a reflection of the night.
The moment of darkness made it difficult to see the scene in front of them, and they fell into a brief blur.
At this moment, Gu Feng's eyes suddenly opened wide, a pair of old hands were raised to his chest, as if he was about to take action, and at the same time he shouted, "Be careful! There are enemies!"
The next moment, all the servants burst out with momentum, and black shadows flew out from both sides of the road, which turned out to be some black pills.
These elixirs emitted a strong stench as soon as they flew out. Before they could reach everyone, these black elixirs all shattered, and a large cloud of black mist erupted from the elixirs.
"It's poisonous pills! Hold your breath!" The old servant shouted loudly when he saw this, and flicked his sleeves to stir up a strong wind, trying to disperse the black mist released by the poisonous pills.
However, the next moment, several figures in black flew out from both sides of the road, led by an old man with dark green hair.
As soon as the old man appeared on the scene, he roared loudly, shattering the energy that the ancient wind had thrown out.
"Crazy old man, you have such a bad temper. You lose your temper easily. This can easily break your body. Be careful, you won't live long!" The old man smiled scornfully and led a group of men in black to stand in the ancient building. Meng and his group were in front of them, blocking their way.
At the moment when they appeared, many servants of the Gu family were exposed to the black poisonous mist. Some of them did not react quickly and did not hold their breath in time. They inhaled a large amount of poisonous mist. Soon they were foaming at the mouth and their faces were distorted in pain. He collapsed to the ground, twitching continuously.
Gu Meng immediately turned over and dismounted, wondering how she managed to maintain normal breathing in the poisonous mist without fear.
He took out a small jade bottle tightly wrapped with a sachet from his arms, poured out green pills one by one, and stuffed one pill into the mouth of each poisoned servant.
After taking this elixir, the servant will not be able to get up for a while.
The symptoms of poisoning have been relieved a lot.
Gu Feng flew up, stood in front of the green-haired old man, and said coldly, "Old Poison? If you don't stay in your Death Dragon Lake, what are you doing here? Are you here to be a lackey? You don't pretend to be noble. Don’t you even bother to give up for five buckets of rice?”
This old man is a fourth-grade alchemist named Dulong. He is different from ordinary alchemists. He studies poisonous elixirs obsessively, pursues the method of poisonous elixirs all his life, and aspires to refine a unique poisonous elixir that is unprecedented and unprecedented.
For this purpose, he also specially opened a cave outside Fulong City. Because there was a lake next to the cave, it was said that he once spent a lot of time and energy poisoning a strange giant beast alive in order to develop poison.
Later, some people said that the giant beast was a real dragon. In this way, it spread to ten people and hundreds of people, and later the name of the poisonous dragon's cave was given the name of Death Dragon Lake.
Although alchemists who refine poison pills have always been frowned upon among alchemists, no one dares to provoke them at will, because these people have too many ways to kill people by relying on the weirdness of poison pills. They can even transcend levels and kill those warriors who are more powerful than them.
However, this poisonous dragon rarely interacts with people on weekdays. He spends 300 of the 365 days in the year studying poisonous elixirs in the Dead Dragon Lake, and the rest of the time is spent collecting needed medicinal materials.
He neither covets wealth nor covets power and status. However, when many families in Fulong City extended an olive branch to him, he rejected them one by one, and even stopped them at the door of his house without giving them any face. , not allowing them to take a step forward.
As for the reason for rejection, Fulong City was too noisy, which really affected his study of alchemy.
At first, the Gu family sent Gu Feng to invite him personally. Gu Feng was furious about this and had a fight with the poisonous dragon. In the end, the two of them were evenly matched and neither got any benefit.
When it comes to cultivation, Gufeng is in the early stage of fifth level, while Poison Dragon is only in the middle stage of fourth level. However, Poison Dragon is full of poison pills, which is really weird and difficult to deal with. Even if Gufeng has the upper hand, he has to be wary of it.
Both of them fought until they were exhausted, and then they stopped.
It was this encounter that made Du Long completely hate the Gu family. However, due to the prosperity of the Gu family at that time, Du Long did not dare to act arbitrarily.
Unexpectedly, this poisonous dragon would appear here today.
"Elder Gu, are you okay? I won't give up for five buckets of rice, but they gave me six buckets of rice, so I had no choice but to agree." Du Long sneered, "What's more, he asked me to come and get it today. Kill your dog!"
"Haha, you want to take my life? My life is here, as long as you can take it." Gu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Look at these crooked melons and cracked dates that are following you to die, they should be sent by the Xue family. Bar!"
"Yes, the Xue family also attaches great importance to you people. They sent me here alone. They are not worried. They said they were afraid that I would let you go, so they brought a few more people." Poisonous Dragon said with a smile, his hair green. The hair was divided into several bundles, and now it was like green snakes, slowly squirming.
Poison Dragon's eyes also turned green at this moment, staring at Gu Meng who was feeding the servants pills, and said with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot, the eldest son of the Xue family specifically told me before he left, if When you see Miss Gu, you must be careful when you attack her. You must not hurt her in the slightest. Miss Gu is his unmarried wife and the future young mistress of the Xue family!"
Gu Meng said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense here, there is no way I will marry him! A shameless person who is ruthless and despicable. Such a person should be punished by God!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you know how precious your body is? If the price offered by the Xue family wasn't so high, I would have secretly bought it.
You hide it and keep it for your own research! "The poisonous dragon's green eyes burst out with greedy light, wandering wantonly on Gu Meng's body, "Innate elixir body, invulnerable to all poisons! How great would it be to use your body as a medicine person to test medicine for me? It can save me a lot of trouble, and there are so many problems that can be studied on your body! "
Gu Meng glared at Poison Dragon fiercely and said, "You actually have such despicable thoughts, and you actually want to use human life to test your medicine? It's really... really... really lawless!"
"Haha, I like women with a strong temper like you, because the more strong-tempered a woman is, the more touching she is when she kneels on the ground in pain and begs me for mercy after testing the medicine!"
Poison Dragon laughed arrogantly, and the next moment his figure quickly disappeared from the spot and turned into a wisp of blue smoke.
Gu Feng's figure flickered, and with a palm as quick as the wind, he flew into the air, only to smash the cloud of green smoke.
"Crazy old man, why did you start this sneak attack? Aren't you usually a self-proclaimed gentleman, and you are the most disgusted with people like me who follow crooked ways?" The poisonous dragon figure slowly appeared in another direction, The smile on his face remains unchanged.
"Hmph! To deal with crooked ways like yours, I won't have any problem using this!" Gu Feng snorted coldly and said.
The next moment, his figure rushed towards Poison Dragon again, but Poison Dragon stood motionless and sneered, "If you want to watch all the servants you brought here die here, you can just Take action!"
Gu Feng paused, stopped his hand, and looked at Poison Dragon with a gloomy expression.
I saw that several of the subordinates behind Poison Dragon showed their cultivation, and they were surrounded tightly. It was impossible to stop these people just by relying on the few remaining servants around Gu Meng who still had some fighting ability.
If those servants hadn't been poisoned before, they might have been able to fight with them, but in this situation, the Gu family might really be unable to withstand it.
Poison Dragon said slowly, "The poison in them is not ordinary poison. This is the Ten Poison Smoke that I developed myself, which contains ten kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds that are extremely poisonous. In my opinion, the group you raise depends entirely on elixirs." The dogs that have been piled up will not survive more than three quarters of an hour without my treatment. Even if you, the eldest lady of the Gu family with a bodhisattva heart, take out the precious third-grade elixir, Baijie Wan can only barely survive. Two hours."
"You... are despicable and shameless!" Gu Meng gritted her silver teeth and glared at Poisonous Dragon fiercely.
At this time, the small jade bottle in her hand had reached its bottom, and around her, there were three servants who had not taken the Baijie Pill. They were all curled up in a ball in pain, desperately suppressing the urge to scratch their throats.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce it. After being hit by my ten poisonous mist, your throat will sometimes feel like you have inhaled a thousand-year-old cold air, which is cold to the bone, and sometimes it will feel like you have swallowed a mouthful of blazing fire, which will be burning and hot. ! This feeling makes it difficult for even a determined person to resist the urge to tear his throat apart. Haha! You are the only ants who still want to struggle! Ridiculous!" Poison Dragon sneered.
The next moment, the three servants seemed to be unable to suppress the urge any longer, and began to scratch their throats with their nails, leaving streaks of blood on the flesh.
Gu Meng immediately threw out three silver needles and stuck them on their necks, temporarily restraining their actions.
However, the silver needle was still trembling rapidly, as if it might be ejected at any time.
"Drinking poison to quench thirst is extremely ridiculous!" Poison Dragon sneered.
However, the next moment, Gu Feng charged at him again. At this moment, he no longer showed the hesitant look he had at that time. All his moves were ruthless and killing moves, without any mercy.
