Chapter 1150: What Kind of Spirit Beast Is This?
Time passed by minute by minute, and Huayin was still racking her brains over how to negotiate terms with Hua Xia!
If Jiangnan's side wouldn't loosen up, she'd have to contact the Academy, wouldn't she?
After all, as long as she held Jiangnan in her hands, that was the heaviest bargaining chip!
Hua Xia would never abandon Jiangnan for the sake of a Pocket Rabbit!
……
Meanwhile, over at Wang Zhan's side, he'd borrowed the ability he copied and pasted from Jiangnan!
This guy had no idea how far he'd teleported his group using the power!
He didn't dare stop until his ability was completely drained. By now, all dozen or so of them had their lips black and purple from the slug poison!
Xie Xie had long since fallen to the ground, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth!
(#꒪ัཀ꒪ั#)…
They'd been dragged the whole way!
"Brother Wang! Stop running! If we don't get this poison cured, we're all gonna bite the dust!"
Wang Zhan was also dizzy from the poison: "Damn it! We don't have a recovery type either. That woman's poison is too fierce!"
"Even Nan Shen got taken down. So many strong black-hooded figures appearing in this Platinum-grade Ling Xu means there's bound to be a Bear coming!"
"We have to report to the Academy in time! Pfft–"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan coughed out a mouthful of black blood!
One of the brothers suddenly remembered something: "Detoxifying Soybeans! I bought a bunch of them from a street stall before I came! Everyone, eat up quickly! Eat more!"
He immediately pulled a big handful of beans out of his pants pocket!
Everyone's eyes lit up at the sight. Xie Xie had been poisoned that badly before and still survived!
This poison should be curable too, right?
All thanks to my Nan Shen!
They hurriedly stuffed the beans into their mouths and ate them!
Even the unconscious Xie Xie was fed a handful. Sure enough, within a few breaths, everyone's complexion returned to a healthy rosy hue!
Xie Xie snapped his eyes open and sat bolt upright on the ground!
Wiping the foam from his mouth, his face was full of terror!
(͜ºДº͜) "Damn! What did you feed me?"
Wang Zhan said smugly: ʅ(･´ٹ･｀)ʃ "Detoxifying Soybeans, of course! Good thing we were prepared! We—"
But Xie Xie's face was twisted into a knot!
(͜˃᷄益˂᷅͜) "We're screwed!"
Sure enough, their stomachs immediately let out a thunderous roar!
A continuous grumble, and then with a "bang," a puff of white smoke shot out from Xie Xie's rear end, launching him from a sitting position straight into a standing one!
He even took two steps forward to buffer the momentum!
"This stuff can detoxify, but it also needs to expel the poison, doesn't it?"
At that moment, everyone's faces turned green. They couldn't hold it in any longer. They ducked their heads and ran into a pitch-black tunnel, letting it fly freely!
[From Wang Zhan: Resentment +666!]
[From Xie Xie...]
Not a single one of Nan Shen's treasures was reliable, was it?
In the tunnel, there was a cacophony of drums and firecrackers, white mist floating everywhere!
The spiral-shaped cave acted like a megaphone, transmitting the explosive sounds who knows how far, even with an electronic echo effect!
Wang Zhan: (ง˃᷄益˂᷅)ง "Sigh– do… do any of you have toilet paper?"
(͜￢～￢͜) "I've got ten fingers. I need them for myself. Don't you have any? What, you want me to help you? Get lost!"
Wang Zhan: !!!
What the hell—you brought ten fingers!
Paper! Paper, I meant!
And you're using them yourself? How exactly do you plan to do that? Are you all that ruthless?
"This… I can't bring myself to do it either?"
Xie Xie: "Listen! Hear that frog croaking?"
Frog: (｡⁰⌒⁰｡) "Lonely old man~ use a stick to scrape!"
Wang Zhan frowned: (･᷄Д･᷅) "I hear it? So what?"
Xie Xie: "The toad is telling you to use a stick to scrape! What are you still hesitating about?"
Wang Zhan: ...
……
Over at Luo Tianqing's side, she received the distress signal and rushed over, but it wasn't what she'd imagined!
The students who sent the signal weren't being attacked by black-hooded figures!
Instead, they were spewing blood from their noses and being surrounded by a beast herd!
These were the ones who had escaped from Qin Shou's group and been abandoned by Beifeng because of their injuries!
About seventy or so in total!
When Luo Tianqing arrived, the crisis was naturally resolved. The students also reported the matter of the black hoods!
But knowing the plan, how could Luo Tianqing tell the students the truth?
She just said the Academy would handle it!
The students moved cautiously through the ant nest maze when suddenly they heard a noisy commotion!
Following the sound, they arrived at a cave chamber. The air was filled with a faint white mist!
It was a smell of sulfur mixed with rotten eggs!
In the distance, from the pitch-black tunnel, white smoke was rolling out!
Loud noises came from within, along with a "heh heh heh" sound mixed with suppressed hissing!
The students looked alert!
(‧̣̥̇⚆益⚆) "Damn it, what kind of spirit beast is that?"
To be safe, a female student stepped forward and aimed her hand at the cave entrance!
"Incendiary Bomb!"
A fireball shot out fiercely, straight into the cave!
(งᵒ̌～ᵒ̌)งﾞ━=͟͟͞☀︎
The flames lit up the faces of Wang Zhan and the others. Everyone's expression turned terrified!
☀︎Σ(❍ฺд❍(Ŏ◊Ŏ(ଵ口ଵ‧̣̥̇)
Farting zone—strictly no fire allowed!
With a "boom," the white mist in the cave was instantly ignited. Flames shot high, and a violent explosion occurred!
Quite a few students were blown away by the blast!
Luo Tianqing pinched her nose and ran far away!
Everyone's eyes went wide. Was that flammable gas?
Just then, terrified screams came from the tunnel!
A dozen blackened, unrecognizable beasts with blue tail flames shooting from their rear ends flew out uncontrollably!
━=͟͟͞͞ጿ
ኈ=З=З=З
ዽyīyīyīyīyī✧*✧*｡
They scampered wildly around the cave, all with afro-like hair!
Luo Tianqing's eyes widened!
(⌯꒪꒫꒪) "What kind of spirit beast is this? I've never seen it before!"
Xie Xie shouted: (͜༎ຶД༎ຶ͜) "Put it out! Put out the fire, quick! Who lit that? Damn it!"
Throwing an incendiary bomb while someone was in the middle of flying? How heartless was that?
Only then did the students realize these were humans. They were stunned—how had they ended up like this?
They quickly rushed over to extinguish the fire. When Wang Zhan saw Luo Tianqing, tears immediately flowed!
(#ง꒦ິД꒦ີ)ง "Instructor Tianqing, please go save the classmates! They tied up Nan Shen and took him away! Everyone else was captured!"
"We barely escaped with our lives!"
Luo Tianqing froze for a moment, then snickered inwardly.
This kid Jiangnan was being quite cooperative, wasn't he? Even Little Tiger and the others couldn't beat him, let alone capture him?
Jiangnan must have gone along with it!
Seeing the state of Wang Zhan and his group, she believed it. The plan was going smoothly!
(｡･ˇกˇ･) "Ahem—I understand. I've already notified the Academy. Higher-ups will handle it."
Wang Zhan was taken aback. Instructor Tianqing didn't seem surprised or worried at all?
Something was off!
Xie Xie and his dozen or so people blended into the group.
Wang Zhan hung back at the rear.
(ﾉ)ớ₃ờ) "Hey—do you think those black hoods might be from the Academy?"
"Nan Shen is so fierce, how could he be caught so easily?"
"When I borrowed Nan Shen's ability, I realized that with his skills, escaping with everyone would be way too easy, right?"
Xie Xie paused: (͜ﾟﾛﾟ͜) "Whoa? That's very possible! And when Nan Shen was fighting, he kept narrating, as if he was afraid we wouldn't understand!"
The two exchanged glances.
Hiss—could those black hoods be sent by the Academy to test the students?
That would explain everything!
The more they thought about it, the more it seemed likely!
……
Meanwhile, at one of the Rabbit Thief Alliance's hideouts, Jiangnan, lying in the prison cell, was bored to death!
(◦`~´◦)
He ground his teeth in frustration!
"You think this can lock me up and keep me out of it? Dream on!"
The restraints were pretty secure—hands and feet bound, even his maxed-out lockpicking skill was useless.
But could that stump me, Jiang the All-Powerful?
From his lower back, the Small Whip pierced through his skin and emerged!
Even though he was in a spirit-binding state, the Small Whip was already connected to his central nervous system!
It was essentially part of his body, so even under spirit binding, he could control the Small Whip's movement!
He just couldn't use skills or spiritual energy.
Seeing the black-hooded guard outside the cell scrolling on his phone, Jiangnan felt safe to operate.
To pick the 38 spirit-binding cuffs on his body, he needed something like a piece of copper wire, or even an instant noodle wrapper would do!
But Jiangnan's Alternate Dimension was sealed, and the cell had nothing—he couldn't find anything!
"Heh—got it!"
The Small Whip silently pierced into the ground, following rock cracks all the way to the room where Ye Xingxuan and the others were being held!
It suddenly popped up beside Ye Xingxuan!
Ye Xingxuan, dazed from the poison, looked blankly at the red vine emerging beside her.
This looked familiar?
Hiss—wasn't this Nan Shen's tentacle?
Holy crap! How was he doing this under spirit binding?
"Nan Shen? You—"
Before she could cry out, the vine quickly covered her mouth!
Ye Xingxuan nodded repeatedly, eyes full of excitement!
Was Nan Shen planning an escape?
The vine moved behind her back and started writing on her skin with its branches!
The ticklish sensation made her tingle and break out in goosebumps, but she still focused on feeling it!
"Do you have a hair clip? Lend it to me."
Ye Xingxuan was stunned!
What the heck? What did Nan Shen want a hair clip for?
Then she got excited—was he really going to do like in the movies, use a hair clip to pick the locks?
That would be way too cool!
