Chapter 271: Poisoning

Ye Yun: "..."

Suddenly, Ye Yun felt his head heavy. His expression changed, and he said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, do you feel something is wrong?"

Zhang Hao heard this, circulated his True Qi, and felt his body weak. He said to Ye Yun, "Not good, could it be poison?"

Ye Yun's expression was also very ugly. He said to Zhang Hao in disbelief, "But we were clearly very careful, and didn't leave any opportunity for anyone!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao also felt his whole body weak, feeling that he couldn't exert any strength. He quickly entered the System space to check and found that his character attribute bar showed 'poisoned'.

Damn it!

What to do!

Ye Yun quickly took out a few antidote pills and handed them to Zhang Hao, saying urgently, "Zhang Hao, these are antidote pills. Eat them and see."

Zhang Hao didn't care if they were useful or not at this moment and swallowed the antidote pills in one gulp.

However, Zhang Hao found that on his character attributes, the gray aura had not been dispelled. It still showed 'poisoned'.

"Damn it!"

Ye Yun also swallowed a few antidote pills, but they were still useless. This made him very anxious. He said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, these antidote pills can't dispel it. It seems this is poison from the Thousand-Faced Noble. I once heard that the Thousand-Faced Noble is not only a master of disguise but also a master of poison."

Zhang Hao's face sank. He had seen in the Thousand-Faced Noble's information that this Thousand-Faced Noble was not only quite strong in cultivation but also skilled in poisoning. Those students of Tianwu Academy who took the mission to hunt down the Thousand-Faced Noble ultimately died from his poison nine out of ten times.

"Bang!"

The door of the room opened. More than a dozen men walked in from outside. One of them was precisely the fat man who had just come to change the candles.

Zhang Hao's heart sank. It seemed this fat man was indeed part of the Thousand-Faced Noble's group.

"Haha! Haha! Haha... Little beauty, I'm here." A pale-faced youth looked at Ye Yun with a lecherous expression!

"You are the Thousand-Faced Noble?" Ye Yun's expression darkened.

The pale-faced youth said proudly, "As expected, you came for me, but now you've fallen into my hands. Hahahaha..."

Ye Yun gritted his teeth and looked at the pale-faced youth, asking, "You poisoned us?"

"That's right, this is my Thousand-Faced Noble's unique Soft Bone Powder, colorless and odorless," the pale-faced youth said with a smile.

The pale-faced youth walked towards Ye Yun step by step, his gaze fixed on her.

Zhang Hao was also very anxious at this moment, knowing that if they didn't detoxify soon, both he and Ye Yun would fall into their hands. However, this Soft Bone Powder requires the Thousand-Faced Noble's unique antidote, and of course, the other party wouldn't hand it over.

That's right, the System encompasses everything. There must be an antidote.

Zhang Hao's heart was filled with joy. He immediately entered the System store. He searched on the System store shelf. As expected, many types of antidote pills appeared.

These antidote pills were also divided into varieties. Some cost 100,000 points each, while others cost 10,000 points. Even the cheapest antidote pill required 500 points.

However, although the Thousand-Faced Noble's poison was potent, in Zhang Hao's opinion, it wasn't too formidable a poison. An antidote pill costing 500 points should be sufficient. Although the System was a bit of a scam, it was quite reliable in terms of product quality. In his opinion, the effect of this antidote pill should be good.

Therefore, Zhang Hao immediately spent 500 points to purchase an antidote pill. He directly used this antidote pill within the System.

As expected, the antidote pill had an effect. Zhang Hao found that the True Qi in his body slowly began to circulate. Perhaps because the antidote pill was cheap, although it had an effect, it didn't immediately dispel all the poison in his body. Instead, it worked slowly. According to Zhang Hao's calculation, it would take five minutes to completely dispel the poison in his body. During these five minutes, he could only act as the situation demanded.

Ye Yun looked at the white-robed man coldly and asked, "I don't understand. We were very careful. When were we poisoned?"

The pale-faced youth smiled slightly and said, "For the sake of you being a beauty, I can tell you this secret. Although you were very careful, we are not stupid. Naturally, we wouldn't poison the food or secretly release anesthetic smoke. Those are the crudest methods. We poison in more hidden places."

Ye Yun and Zhang Hao were both surprised.

In fact, within the room, both of them had thoroughly checked. There were no tunnels or openings through which poison could be administered. They truly didn't understand where the other party had poisoned them.

"Hahaha... Since you are about to become our prisoners, I'll tell you. The place we poisoned was the candles!" the pale-faced youth said.

"Hmph, we also checked the candles, and there was no poison at all. You don't want to tell us, so there's no need to talk nonsense," Ye Yun sneered.

"Hahaha, we didn't lie to you, you are just stupid!"

This time, it wasn't the pale-faced youth who spoke, but the fat man who had brought in the candles earlier. He glanced at Ye Yun and said with a sinister smile, "Little beauty, did you forget? I came in to change the candles just now."

"Change the candles?"

Zhang Hao frowned, vaguely guessing something.

"So what?" Ye Yun didn't understand for a moment.

"Hehe, a single candle is of course not poisonous, but the poison in the two burning candles, when mixed together, becomes a new toxin. You simply couldn't guard against it," the fat man said smugly.

After the fat man's explanation, Zhang Hao and Ye Yun finally knew how they had been poisoned.

The fat man smiled at the pale-faced youth and asked, "Boss, we'll take this beauty, but how should we deal with this man?"

The pale-faced youth smiled slightly and said, "Take the woman away, the man is naturally useless. Kill him, to avoid any complications later."

"Alright!"

The pale-faced youth's words were exactly what he wanted. The fat man walked towards Zhang Hao step by step, a sinister look on his face.

"Don't!" Ye Yun's face turned pale.

It was just a pity that Ye Yun was poisoned at this moment and felt weak all over. There was no way for her to stop the fat man.

The fat man, holding a knife, walked to Zhang Hao's side and looked at him with a 獰笑, saying, "Kid, don't blame me, blame yourself for being nosy!"

Saying that, the fat man brought his knife down towards Zhang Hao's head.

However, the scene where the knife fell and blood splattered did not occur. The back of the fat man's knife was grabbed by a hand.

Everyone present was in disbelief. The fat man's eyes were full of disbelief, and his voice trembled as he looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "You... you weren't poisoned?"

"Hehe, I was, but a mere bit of poison, how could it do anything to Young Master?" Zhang Hao said disdainfully.

"Everyone attack together!" The pale-faced youth's eyes turned cold.
