992 Whoever started the Trouble, They should end I (1/2)
The man waved his hand. A grey mist flashed about. It was heading straight for the huge dog but dissipated.
Woof!
The dog shook its head and wiggled its body for a bit before pouncing right before that man.
”Damn, what the hell?”
The huge dog arrived right before the man while he was still flustered. He quickly rolled to evade the attack, but he still somehow ended up being hit by the huge dog. He felt a huge force coming down on his back. It caused the man to almost spit out blood.
”What great force!”
Back in the clinic below the mountain…
Huh?
Wang Yao suddenly got up and looked outside.
”What's wrong, Master?” Jia Zizai asked.
”I heard growls from San Xian earlier,” Wang Yao replied. ”Someone is up in the mountain. It is an uninvited guest.”
”I'll go up there and take a look.” As he spoke, Jia Zizai emanated a killing intent.
”Let's go.”
By the time they arrived, they saw a crippled man on the ground in shambles.
That man was all bloodied. He took in a lot of breath but was letting little out. The huge dog, which looked like a lion, stood in front of the man. The dog opened its mouth wide and happily waggled its tail at them.
”What the hell? Is this even a dog?”
That man stared at the dog with indescribable shock in his eyes. He had pulled every trick up his sleeve in the fight—poisons, curses, blades—but the dog seemed immune to all the poisons and curses he was capable of dishing out. The dog was so surreal that even blades were unable to penetrate its skin. That man's blades were utterly useless against the dog. Not even a real lion was that formidable. He had been confident that he was able to take down that animal, yet the oversized dog turned out to be a monster.
”This is interesting.” Wang Yao glared at the man on the ground.
”How is this thing immune to poisons and curses?” the man asked. His face was subconsciously filled with despair.
”Are you talking about San Xian?” Wang Yao asked as he went up to pat the dog's head. ”He's immune to all poisons and demonic functions.”
The dog was basking in the nimbus of the mountain day and night. Wang Yao had also fed him some pharmaceutical solutions, which included all manners of magic herbs. The dog had long been more than just an ordinary animal.
”Zizai, you're up,” Wang Yao said.
”No problem, Master.” Jia Zizai smirked and said, ”Man, I just love interrogations.”
”Interrogations?”
When he heard that, the man suddenly twitched.
I'm sorry, Chief, but I won't be able to see your dream become a reality.
”Do you want to die?”
The man struggled on the ground. He was filled with frustration and reluctance as he prepared to die. A huge, undeniable force shrouded his body.
The pain in his body quickly dissipated.
The poison was cured.
”How is this possible?” he asked.
That man glared at Wang Yao with his eyes wide open.
It was a poison from his village. The prescription and end product were concocted by the chief. There were only a handful of people in the village capable of curing the poison. Although the man brought the antidote with him, he was not about to use it. He was determined to die for the cause right there and then. He had not expected the young man to be able to cure the poison so easily.
”Who the hell are you?” he asked.
The man stared at the young man before him, wondering how the other man had become so capable despite being so young. He wondered who that other man had studied under, why he had never heard of that young man, and if his people had been isolated for too long.
”You best be more concerned about yourself right now.” Jia Zizai single-handedly hoisted him up and took him to the cottage on the western mountain.
Luckily, I told the chief what happened here, the man thought.
Without the threat of bug curses, the man was hardly considered a professional special agent.
Jia Zizai quickly learned a big chunk of what he was out to learn from that man.
”Gosh, you're good.”
”Stay here and, don't bother trying anything funny.” Jia Zizai dumped the man, who was reduced to a shell from his former self, to a corner, before heading down the mountain. He told Wang Yao what he had learned.
”Miao Xihe again?”
”Yep.”
”That asshole just doesn't know when to give up,” Wang Yao said with a smirk.
”Master, how about I head out to southern Yunnan and see what he's made of myself?” Jia Zizai asked.
”No.” Wang Yao waved his hand dismissively.
”We'll wait. I think they'll still send men here. Didn't you look into that poor chap's phone? That guy already sent some stuff out there. Chief Miao probably knows all he needs to know by now.”
”Sure, we'll just wait,” Jia Zizai replied.
In the Valley of Thousands of Medicines, thousands of miles away…
Miao Xihe received the message and images sent by that man who was sent to scout the northern village. He remained stunned for quite a bit. He hardly flinched for a time.
”How could there be a place like this up north?” He was excited, puzzled, and restless.
