Chapter 227: Chapter 226, Xu Wendong Impervious to all Poisons
"What’s that?" Xu Wendong looked shocked. "You’re telling me I’m immune to all toxins? Are you kidding me?"
"If I’m immune to all toxins, why did I get poisoned when helping someone suck snake venom a few days ago?" As he spoke, his face showed a look of disdain, as if Han Qing’s words insulted his intelligence.
Han Qing and his wife exchanged glances, both seeing the look of bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
It seemed they realized why Xu Wendong was immune to toxins.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be because there was residual toxin in his body, which neutralized other toxins through a similar poison.
However.
Now wasn’t the time to consider this matter.
They had to escape from this place.
As for the idea of killing Xu Wendong and completing the mission, it was no longer important.
Xu Wendong’s strength was above the couple’s; even if they joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Thinking of this.
Du Qiu waved his right hand fiercely, and a cloud of white powder spread towards Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong quickly dodged.
At the same time, Han Qing and Du Qiu swiftly ran towards the southwestern forest, wanting to leave this place full of trouble.
A playful smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face.
You two have traces of my True Qi in your bodies, do you really think you can run away?
He picked up the fishing rod on the ground and continued fishing. Just then, the wolves in the mountain sensed Xu Wendong’s True Qi and began howling.
---
"Wife, how are you?"
In the forest.
Han Qing looked at his wife beside him with full concern.
Du Qiu vomited blood with a wailing sound, weakly said, "Husband, I don’t think I can make it; Xu Wendong’s kick likely severed my artery, and there’s a powerful force ravaging inside my body... Ugh..." As she spoke, she spat out blood mixed with fragments of flesh, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
Han Qing was completely flustered, hurriedly holding his wife in his arms. "Wife, hang in there, hang in there, we’ll soon reach the town, then I’ll take you to see a doctor."
"No need..." Du Qiu weakly said, "Dying in your arms... is the greatest happiness of my life... you... better report the mission first!"
"Yes, yes, report the mission." Han Qing hastily took out his phone and dialed a number, only saying the four words "mission failed," but he knew the Life-Seeking Sect would send even more powerful experts here.
"Awooo!"
Without any warning.
More than a dozen fierce wolves appeared in front of them, baring their teeth, glaring fiercely at the couple.
Seeing the wolves blocking the path.
Han Qing was utterly desperate. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t even regard these beasts, but now both of them were severely injured.
How could they withstand the attack of a wolf pack?
"Awoo~~~"
With the Wolf King’s command, a dozen fierce wolves roared and rushed at the two of them.
The couple of assassins, who had a long-standing reputation in the martial world, drank their bitter end on the spot, buried in the bellies of wolves.
They would never have thought.
All of this was orchestrated by Xu Wendong.
---
Xu Wendong originally intended to continue fishing and have an extra meal in the evening.
But.
He found he couldn’t calm his mind.
Even though Han Qing and Du Qiu died at the mouths of the wolves, he knew the Life-Seeking Sect’s way of doing things; they would send even more powerful experts here, even if Han Qing and Du Qiu were dead.
Additionally.
There was what Han Qing said earlier: Don’t you know you’re immune to all toxins?
It was apparent.
The Life-Seeking Sect once tried to poison him, otherwise, they wouldn’t have said such things.
Although he had been poisoned by a snake before, in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying of fighting poison with poison, but Xu Wendong didn’t think ordinary snake venom could counter the potent toxins of the Life-Seeking Sect.
Thinking of this, he put away his fishing rod, picked up the over-three-pound carp in the bucket, and went to Elder Qin’s house at the west end of the village, where the old man was dozing in the yard.
Hearing Xu Wendong’s footsteps, Elder Qin slowly opened his eyes, showing a kindly smile. "My fishing rod should still be useful, right?"
"Fair enough." Xu Wendong put the fishing rod in the house and continued, "Old man, I caught a carp. You can cook it yourself tonight."
"Well, I have some business and need to go up the mountain for a while, so I’ll take my leave first."
"Wait!" Elder Qin called Xu Wendong, taking off the Obsidian Ring from his thumb. "I’ve thought it over for a long time, and I decided to give this ring to you." Saying this, he tossed it to Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong was so startled that he shrank back then hurriedly caught it. He couldn’t tell what kind of jade it was, but he could see that this thing was of great value, definitely a valuable heirloom.
If it had fallen to the ground, even if Elder Qin didn’t feel the heartache, Xu Wendong surely would.
Holding the ring in his hand, Xu Wendong felt relieved, lowering his head to look at the Obsidian Ring. He saw a seal script character "Eight" on it.
Xu Wendong inwardly quivered.
Seal script was used in pre-Christian era Chinese characters!
Did this ring in his hand really have such an ancient history?
If so, this ring in his hand must be a treasure worth a fortune.
"Old man, what do you mean by this? Why give such a valuable thing to me?" Xu Wendong nervously swallowed, his eyes full of confusion.
Elder Qin sighed lightly, "I have failed it."
"Wait!" Xu Wendong asked excitedly, "Did you think of the past?"
Elder Qin forced a smile, "Isn’t this a good thing?"
Xu Wendong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "How to put it, I feel it’s not entirely a good thing. Sometimes, there are things better not known."
Elder Qin smiled, "You’re right; for me, knowing the past is indeed a good thing. But this good thing... doesn’t make me happy..."
"Alright, alright, just keep the ring; having it with me will only trap me in endless pain." Saying this, he waved his hand to signal Xu Wendong to leave.
"Alright, I’ll keep it for you for the time being." Xu Wendong said, putting the Obsidian Ring on his right thumb. And indeed, it fit him perfectly, as if it were custom-made for him.
After bidding farewell to Elder Qin, Xu Wendong headed straight to the mountains and collected more than ten kinds of herbs; however, they were just ordinary herbs, even if they contained toxins, they were very mild.
Yes.
He wanted to test if he was truly immune to all toxins.
But seeing the toxicity of these herbs was mild; he wasn’t interested at all.
Because with his current skills, even if he ingested some mildly toxic herbs, it wouldn’t affect him at all.
Spotting a black Killer Bee buzzing around, Xu Wendong, without thinking, grabbed it.
The Killer Bee, held tightly, fought back fiercely and stung Xu Wendong’s hand, injecting its venom into Xu Wendong’s body.
