Chapter 293: Repaying Kindness with Evil

Ye Yun looked at the Poison Avoidance Pill in Zhang Hao's hand and asked with some surprise, "Is this your Poison Avoidance Pill?"

Zhang Hao said casually to Ye Yun, "Don't worry, it won't poison you to death."

Ye Yun watched Zhang Hao eat the Poison Avoidance Pill with peace of mind, knowing it should be genuine, although he didn't know when Zhang Hao had bought the Poison Avoidance Pill.

Song Sitian, without any hesitation, swallowed the Poison Avoidance Pill.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Hao took the lead and walked towards the poisonous miasma. This poisonous miasma looked very long, and he had to be careful.

At this moment, the people of the Zijing Mercenary Group were quickly passing through this poisonous miasma. Suddenly, one of the Mercenary Group members let out a scream.

"It itches, it itches so much!"

The mercenary screamed and began to scratch his body incessantly. He scratched until his head was bleeding. The more he scratched, the more it itched, and the more it itched, the more he scratched.

"Xiao Fang, your body."

The expressions of the Zijing Mercenary Group members changed.

Not only Xiao Fang, but other mercenaries nearby also began to show the same symptoms to varying degrees. Screams rose one after another. Only some Martial Warrior with stronger cultivation had no major problems.

Si Ya's face changed drastically. She didn't expect the effect of this detoxification pill to be weak. She was confident that she could pass this stage, but her subordinates had no way.

Losing twenty members at once was a heavy blow to the Zijing Mercenary Group.

Looking over, she saw Zhang Hao, Song Sitian, and Ye Yun walking together. She sneered in her heart: Let's see how you get through, you're asking for trouble.

Si Ya had bought a Poison Avoidance Pill from a Fourth-Order Alchemist, yet it couldn't completely avoid the poison, let alone others. Si Ya didn't believe that Zhang Hao's Poison Avoidance Pill could be more Advanced than hers.

Zhang Hao looked at the Zijing Mercenary Group members ahead, who seemed to be in trouble, and was immediately surprised.

"It seems they are all poisoned. This kind of miasma is formed over the years from poisonous creatures dying here, creating poisonous gas. Ordinary Martial Warrior cannot resist it at all. Even a Martial King who has taken a Poison Avoidance Pill could easily be affected if they're not careful," Ye Yun said seriously to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao frowned, somewhat worried that the Poison Avoidance Pill he bought might not be able to resist the miasma. Although he had great confidence in the System store's Poison Avoidance Pill, the problem was that he had bought the cheapest one, and he didn't know the specific effect. However, fortunately, at this moment, he didn't feel any problems.

Ye Yun was initially very nervous, but after a while, finding that there were no problems, he relaxed.

The three continued deeper into the valley mouth, where skeletons were piled up like mountains everywhere. These were left behind by Martial Warrior who had died here before.

Although Zhang Hao was a Martial Warrior, seeing so many skeletons at once made his scalp tingle. This deep valley was very long, and he didn't know how long it would take to walk through. Maybe it would take an hour. Moreover, the deeper they went, the denser the miasma seemed to become.

The Zijing Mercenary Group lost more than ten more people. Their deaths were extremely tragic. All of them died from poisoning, just like the previous Zijing Mercenary Group member. They scratched themselves to death.

Si Ya was now in a difficult position. Her cultivation was the strongest, and passing through these poisonous miasma areas was naturally not a problem for her, but her subordinates, especially her younger sister, were her biggest concern.

"Huh!"

Si Ya suddenly noticed that Zhang Hao, Song Sitian, and Ye Yun were walking over. The poisonous miasma seemed to pose no significant threat to the three of them.

Frowning, Si Ya didn't think any further. She continued to circulate her cultivation to resist the poisonous miasma. Although she was a Martial King, she dared not be careless.

According to experience, they would be out of the poisonous miasma area after another thousand meters ahead. Si Ya thought to herself that as long as they persevered for a while longer, they could leave the poisonous miasma area.

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew. A wave of poisonous miasma, even denser than before, drifted from the front.

"Ah!"

One by one, the Zijing Mercenary Group members screamed.

"Not good, Leader, the miasma is erupting more fiercely!" The deputy leader said anxiously to Si Ya.

Si Ya's face changed drastically. She quickly said, "Everyone, don't move, circulate your cultivation to resist."

However, this poisonous miasma could only be resisted by members above the high-level Great Martial Master stage. All the Zijing Mercenary Group members below the high-level Great Martial Master stage were poisoned.

"Sister, I... my body is also very itchy," Lili cried.

"Ah! Lili. Don't scratch, the more you scratch, the faster the potent poison flows," Si Ya quickly said to Lili.

Lili had a cultivation of Sixth-Level Great Martial Master. Although this cultivation was definitely not low in the Zijing Mercenary Group, it was definitely not high either. It was quite normal for her to be poisoned at this moment.

Si Ya was extremely anxious, but there was no better way at the moment.

"Lili, eat this detoxification pill."

Zhang Hao walked up to Lili. He gave Lili a detoxification pill. He had exchanged this detoxification pill for 100 points. Seeing that Lili's poisoning was not deep yet, it should be effective.

Lili seemed to trust Zhang Hao greatly. She immediately swallowed the detoxification pill.

"Circulate your cultivation, expel the poison!" Zhang Hao said to Lili.

A moment later, Lili opened her eyes and said to Zhang Hao with surprise, "Zhang Hao Gege, the poison on my body has been expelled."

"Okay, it's good that you're alright," Zhang Hao had a good impression of Lili and naturally couldn't bear to see her in trouble.

Zhang Hao exchanged another Poison Avoidance Pill and handed it to Lili, saying, "Lili, this is a Poison Avoidance Pill, swallow it first."

Lili obediently took Zhang Hao's Poison Avoidance Pill and swallowed it.

Indeed, after Lili swallowed Zhang Hao's Poison Avoidance Pill, the poisonous miasma could no longer threaten her.

"Thank you, Zhang Hao Gege!" Lili looked at Zhang Hao gratefully.

Si Ya, however, had been keeping her eyes on Zhang Hao. Thinking that Zhang Hao might have more Advanced Poison Avoidance Pills, greed appeared in Si Ya's eyes. If she got his Poison Avoidance Pills, then couldn't she...

Thinking of this, Si Ya walked up to Zhang Hao. A Killing Intent locked onto him, and she said coldly, "Kid, hand over all the Poison Avoidance Pills on you to me."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hao's expression darkened.

He had saved Si Ya's sister, yet instead of being grateful, the other party was coveting the Poison Avoidance Pills on him. This was simply being ungrateful.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Lili looked at Si Ya in surprise.

Si Ya glared at Lili and said, "Lili, mind your own business. If he doesn't hand over the Poison Avoidance Pills, I'll kill him."

Lili looked at Si Ya in disbelief and said, "Sister, Zhang Hao Gege just saved your sister, how can you repay kindness with enmity?"

"I won't repay kindness with enmity, as long as he hands over the Poison Avoidance Pills," Si Ya said indifferently.

"I won't hand them over. Not to mention I don't have any extra Poison Avoidance Pills, even if I did, I wouldn't give them to someone as heartless as you," Zhang Hao sneered.
