Chapter 608 Stalling for ti
?The wood woman revealed a deep frown when she heard this.
She was about to stab that wooden hand of hers into Lin Li Zi's neck to draw so blood to show that she ant business, but she found that there was nothing there.
She had been so focused on Lin Fan that she didn't even notice that Lin Li Zi had suddenly disappeared.
When the wood woman looked at Lin Fan again, she found that Lin Li Zi was actually in Lin Fan's hand.
He was carrying her in one hand while holding the sword in his other.
She hadn't even seen him move or pull out this sword, but here he was having done both.
Just how had he done it?
Lin Li Zi also had a shocked look on her face when she saw this.
One mont, she had been staring at Lin Fan, but then the next, she was in his arms.
She didn't even know how it had happened.
The look on her face seed like she wanted to ask Lin Fan about what had just happened, but she saw that Lin Fan wasn't even looking at her. Even though he had saved her, his attention wasn't on Lin Li Zi at all.
Instead, his full attention was on the wood woman standing in front of them.
The wood woman revealed a very ugly look when she saw that Lin Li Zi was in Lin Fan's hand, but there was nothing that she could do about this situation.
She had lost their only hostage, so this matter couldn't be settled as easily.
Though she didn't seem like she was panicking at all.
It was almost as if she had so kind of hidden trump card that she had been hiding the entire ti.
The other tree n just stood there, it didn't seem like they were in a hurry to attack.
After a long silence, the tree woman said, "You should have just surrendered, we would have treated you kindly and given you a quick death. Why do you want to prolong your suffering like this?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this as he waited for the tree woman to explain.
After all, villains loved their monologue.
Seeing that Lin Fan didn't say anything, the tree woman didn't seem to mind as she said, "The wine that you drank, don't you know better than to accept drinks from strangers?"
Lin Li Zi looked up at Lin Fan with a shocked look when she heard this as she could guess what the tree woman wanted to say.
But she found that Lin Fan had a calm look on his face, as if he wasn't bothered by this at all.
The tree woman revealed a wide smile as she said, "Even now, the poison in that wine is passing through your system. Why do you think that I'm stalling for all this ti?"
Lin Li Zi grabbed Lin Fan's arm and wanted to say sothing, but Lin Fan just shook his head as if he was telling her to remain silent.
Lin Li Zi bit her lip, but she still looked at Lin Fan with a worried look.
The tree woman gave a snort when she saw the calm look on Lin Fan's face before saying, "You can pretend all you want, but you won't be able to resist this poison. This is the strongest slow acting poison in the world, you won't ever be able to resist it."
Lin Fan looked at her with the sa calm look and said, "Then will you give the antidote?"
The tree woman acted like she finally got the reaction that she wanted from him as she burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, she said, "Antidote? Do you think that we would have an antidote for this thing? Just wait and die, you stupid human."
"Is that so?" Lin Fan said in a calm voice.
They just stood there in silence at this, which confused the tree woman.
It didn't make any sense for Lin Fan to calmly stand here since every mont that he wasted was another mont that the poison was spreading through his system.
Shouldn't he be trying to find a way to cure that poison?
Shouldn't he be threatening her to save himself?
Just what was this strange human doing?
But still, the tree woman didn't do anything even though she felt that this situation was strange.
That was because she believed in the poison.
It was sothing given to her by her master after all, she didn't have any doubts that the poison wouldn't work.
Finally, Lin Fan said, "So, when is the poison supposed to work again?"
The tree woman was caught off guard by this sudden question by Lin Fan.
She wanted to say sothing, but then she realized that there was sothing wrong.
The poison…it should have already started showing signs of working. Lin Fan should have fallen to the ground and started vomiting out blood, but he was still standing there as if none of this was his problem.
The tree woman narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan as if she couldn't believe what was happening.
Then she suddenly said, "How? How are you resisting the poison?"
Lin Fan tilted his head and said in a teasing voice, "What do you an? Are you saying that your poison isn't working?"
If looks could kill, the way that the tree woman was looking at Lin Fan definitely would have been enough to kill him ten thousand tis.
But she couldn't do anything with this glare in the end.
Lin Fan saw the way that she looked at him and said with a chuckle, "Like you said, do you really think that I would trust a drink that a stranger gives ?"
The tree woman revealed a shocked look when she heard this before stuttering, "No, that's impossible. I saw you collapse on the table after drinking it!"
Lin Fan just looked at her with a smile without saying anything.
The tree woman's expression turned more and more ugly, but there was nothing more that she could say or do in the end.
So the only thing left for them now was…
"Attack! Surround him and take them down!" The tree woman suddenly shouted.
All of the tree n who had been standing still suddenly started charging forward at Lin Fan.
They had been waiting for the poison to work, but they had heard everything that had been said and knew that they had to seize this chance.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan didn't leave a single opening for them.
From the very beginning, there was a reason why he had been stalling for ti as well.
With a single swing, there was a long fla condensed blade that ca out from the sword that he swung.
This fla blade cut through everyone around him, cutting through the tree n and the tree woman, splitting them in half at the torso.
Since they were trees, the bottom half remained firmly planted on the ground while the top half fell with heavy thuds.
Lin Li Zi looked on in shock as she saw the tree n and tree woman suddenly fall before turning to look at Lin Fan's sword.
At this point, the flas had scattered and only a few flas clung to his sword still.
Lin Fan didn't care about this as he put her down and put the sword away.
He had been stalling this entire ti to gather his flas around his sword so he could release it all in one slash like this. He had wanted to make sure that the flas would be strong and long enough to take down all of the tree creatures around him in one swing, so he had to stall for quite a while.
Still, he had stalled long enough and had been able to cut them down just like this.
After they all fell down, Lin Fan walked forward towards the top half of the tree woman.
As he walked past her bottom half, he couldn't help looking at the top part of that bottom half.
He found that there was no blood flowing from the top half, there was just scorched sap that condensed around the part that had been cut.
After he walked over, he stood over the tree woman and said, "So, do you want to tell who the one controlling you all is?"
The tree woman revealed a surprised look when she heard this, but then she suddenly gave a cough and spat out so sap.
Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised to see this.
He had already thought that the sap replaced their blood when he saw the bottom half, but seeing her cough up sap like this really was a strange sight.
The tree woman looked up at Lin Fan after coughing out this sap and said, "You think that you'll be able to escape now that you've done this?"
Lin Fan just ignored this question and said, "You're not willing to tell ?"
The tree woman spat out so sap and said, "Just wash your necks and wait for your…"
Before she could finish, there was a fla dagger that suddenly stabbed right into her head that pinned her to the ground and she fell silent.
Lin Li Zi had slowly walked over while Lin Fan was talking to the tree woman and she couldn't help being surprised by how decisive Lin Fan was.
"Didn't you want information from them?" She couldn't help asking.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "She wouldn't have given it, so there was no point. We shouldn't stay here for long."
Lin Li Zi looked at the mist that surrounded them and slowly gave a nod in agreent.
