"Be careful."
"Okay!"
Nan Haitang responded, then led two of his trusted aides into the cave first.
Initially, there was no movent, but soon, a stern shout ca from within: "Who goes there?"
"Kill him!"
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Then ca the sound of swords and knives clashing.
"Mr. Li, what should we do next?"
The fight had already started inside, could they just sit by and do nothing here?
Li Qingmu pondered for a mont, then sternly said, "Charge in!"
Judging from the sound of swords, it was clear that Nan Haitang and his n were being surrounded. If they didn’t go in to save them now, what if they were killed?
"This is Soft Muscle Powder, this is the antidote, go!"
Li Qingmu handed them the Soft Muscle Powder and gave them the antidote to take, then brandished his sword and charged in.
The cave was like a long and narrow passageway but luckily, after walking for only a mont, there appeared a light ahead and then it suddenly opened up into a larger area.
It was a large secret chamber, filled with the sll of blood everywhere. Nan Haitang and his three companions were being besieged by over twenty experts.
There were more than thirty corpses on the ground, all with gaping knife wounds, bleeding profusely.
Nan Haitang’s martial arts were very advanced, at least Li Qingmu thought he wouldn’t stand more than ten rounds against him in combat.
Yet now, he was trapped.
"Quick, leave, these freaks are impervious to swords and spears!"
At that mont, Nan Haitang let out a sharp cry, urging Li Qingmu to quickly take everyone and leave!
Li Qingmu was stunned, impervious to swords and spears?
He scanned his eyes around, and indeed, Nan Haitang slashed with his sword at a strangely figured man, who looked like dry wood, and aside from a dull thud, there was no visible blood, only a faint white mark.
This... this was terrifying!
"These people are called the Undead, they were soaked in certain concoctions from a young age, so their bodies are different from ordinary people. Others have flesh and blood, but they are entirely drug bodies, and many tissues inside their bodies have been damaged."
Gouzi explained on the side.
He had co from this place, so he was particularly sensitive about it.
Li Qingmu’s scalp tingled; if Duanmu Nan were here now, with his expertise in toxic dicine, perhaps deciphering the secret of these concoctions wouldn’t be difficult.
But... Li Qingmu didn’t understand!
Not understanding shouldn’t an pretending to understand, otherwise, it would only harm oneself and others.
So what now?
He had no retreat now, as those freaks had already noticed him and were approaching.
"Li Qingmu, get out of here quickly!"
Nan Haitang spotted five freaks heading towards Li Qingmu, his eyes turned red as he roared for him to leave!
The freaks had already turned around, facing Li Qingmu.
Li Qingmu got a clear view of their appearance.
Each looked withered, walking shakily, bodies as thin as dry wood, seemingly about to topple over with a gust of wind.
Their eyes glowed with a cold, eerie light, and they were green!
This damn thing was a ghost!
Facing such a perilous situation, Li Qingmu instead cald down, he glanced at Nan Haitang who was still fighting those freaks, gritted his teeth, and said, "If we leave, we leave together!"
"Nonsense! You can’t take them on! These people may seem slow in movent, but they are exceptionally agile, and their strength is imnse, like the strength of nine bulls!"
While Nan Haitang spoke, he collided with a freak, causing blood to seep from his mouth and nose.
It was because he had just spoken and his emotions were agitated, causing him to lose his breath.
Li Qingmu knew that Nan Haitang was ordered to protect him, but even so, he couldn’t just watch soone die without helping.
He took out vials and jars from his bundle, saying, "Don’t ramble, if you want to save Lord Nan, throw these poisons at them!"
Having said that, he acted first, leaping out of the protective circle, dodging several tis to attract two freaks.
He grabbed three vials of poison powder, and as the two freaks lunged at him with open arms, Li Qingmu quickly threw one of them.
"Poof!"
The powder scattered, and a toxic mist spread.
The two freaks paused montarily, then continued to advance.
Their reaction was noted by Li Qingmu, and he was secretly delighted, this indicated that using poison against poison was effective.
He decisively scattered two more vials of poison.
"Roar!"
The freaks moved even slower, and they even let out angry roars. This indicated that Li Qingmu’s poison had already threatened them.
Over there, Nan Haitang’s gaze was complicated as he watched him.
Their worthless lives really were worth nothing, indeed worth nothing.
If it weren’t for Qi Yun saving them back then, giving them a al to eat, they would have long turned to bones.
So, their lives belonged to Qi Yun, and protecting his most cherished offspring was their duty.
He felt that if he died, he died, but as long as Li Qingmu was safely out of danger, all would be well.
But now, he was saving him without hesitation.
If before, Nan Haitang was only protecting as ordered, as a form of repaying Qi Yun’s kindness, now he genuinely wanted to protect this lord!
Nan Haitang gritted his teeth, converging inner strength into his palm, repelling the approaching freaks, and rushed to Li Qingmu’s side.
"Give the poison!"
"Alright!"
Li Qingmu gave him all the poison he could, and without a word, Nan Haitang took the poisons and charged at the freaks.
His movents were swift, even more ghostly than Qingming’s Qinggong, just a few blinks and he had scattered the poison all over those freaks.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The freaks let out eerie cries, and one could clearly see wisps of white smoke slowly rising from their bodies.
After the white smoke, the freaks’ bodies began to gradually decay, and their flesh and blood were falling off continuously.
"Ugh—"
Gouzi saw this and instinctively vomited.
Li Qingmu was alright initially, but seeing him vomit, he also felt like throwing up, this darn kid!
But he held it back, looking at Nan Haitang, "Solved?"
"Yes!" His gaze at Li Qingmu was peculiar, "Luckily, you brought these poisons, otherwise, this ti would have been tough."
Li Qingmu smiled without speaking, the things given by his small wife, he naturally had to bring along.
She really guessed right.
"This can be counted as a blind cat catching a dead rat! Let’s go, go in and take a look! Leave two to guard the entrance to the cave."
"Yes!"
After so arrangents, Li Qingmu and Nan Haitang led people deeper into the cave.
"The few people were just guarding the cave, with them taken care of, there should be no problem ahead, but we must stay cautious, for fear of chanisms."
"There are chanisms, but they’re not fatal!" Gouzi said, "I learned chanical techniques before, rest assured, leave the chanisms here to !"
"Don’t lead us into a ditch!"
Li Qingmu jokingly teased, Gouzi got irritated, snorted angrily, "Then don’t follow!"
"That won’t do, I’m afraid you’ll ss them up, so I need to supervise you!"
Gouzi, "..."
He gave Li Qingmu a sidelong glance, too lazy to argue with him, pointed to a door ahead, "Inside that door is filled with Yuan Water, if opened incorrectly, the Yuan Water in there will pour out, the consequences are unimaginable."
Yuan Water is rcury, extrely toxic!
Li Qingmu imdiately ordered everyone to back ten ters away, then patted Gouzi’s shoulder, "Your turn!"
