The mocking smile on Han Yunxi's face was an eyesore to Witch Aunt, but she endured it. After all, this was a matter of life and death. She could only treat Han Yunxi as ignorant.
More and more vampiric poison bats gathered, filling the sky. Even Witch Aunt, who had seen many groups of poisonous creatures before, was scared witless. She did not dare to be careless.
"Han Yunxi, these poison bats are clearly poisonous creatures that live in groups. Can't you tell?" Witch Aunt questioned sternly.
How could Han Yunxi not tell? She had experienced the attack of a group of poison bats before, but this time, the vampiric poison bats were even more terrifying.
Poisonous creatures that lived in groups had a very big characteristic in terms of attack, and that was that they wouldn't attack easily. They would wait until all of their members had gathered before launching a collective attack. Moreover, this kind of attack wasn't scattered, but was very organized. The division of labor was quite clear, and it wasn't inferior to human troops in battle.
"So what if I can tell?" Han Yunxi asked disdainfully.
Witch Aunt frowned as she looked at Han Yunxi. She did not understand what she meant. What did she mean by 'so what if I can tell'?
Did she see through it or not?
Didn't she know that when dealing with poisonous creatures that lived in groups, she had to find a way to escape before they formed their formation? Once they formed their formation, it would be impossible to escape.
"Han Yunxi, do you know how powerful these poisonous creatures are?" Witch Aunt's angry voice was filled with anxiety.
Han Yunxi casually glanced at the bats in the sky and replied, "They are still forming their formation."
When she said this, Witch Aunt sucked in a breath of cold air. So this brat knew everything!
Since she knew, why wasn't she worried? Did she want to die?
Witch Aunt suppressed her rage and said seriously, "Han Yunxi, we have to find their weak points before they get into formation. If we work together, we'll have a chance at survival. Let's put all our grudges aside for now. It won't be too late to settle them after we escape from this damned place! Don't worry, with my abilities, as long as you cooperate a little, it won't be hard to kill our way out. "
Han Yunxi didn't know if Witch Aunt had overestimated herself or underestimated her.
Coldly she replied, "This princess will say it one last time, there is no need!"
As soon as she said this, Long Fei Ye was about to make his move. In the field of poison, he was completely at ease with Han Yunxi.
Witch Aunt supported Chu Tianyin and retreated, her face filled with disbelief. "Stinky girl, I've long heard of your arrogance and pride, but I never thought that you would be so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Let me tell you, the Vampiric Poison Bats here are far more powerful than anything you've ever encountered before. They're far beyond your expectations. If you don't want to die, then cooperate with me obediently. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died! "
Had Han Yunxi encountered any powerful poisonous creatures? Does this little thing count as one?
Long Fei Ye's lips quirked up into a mocking smile. Chu Xifeng and Tang Li were both grinning, while Gu patted his chest with an exaggerated expression. "This young gentleman is so scared! Poison lass, you better cooperate with her obediently! I really want to know how we're going to die! "
"You all!" Witch Aunt was so angry that her face turned red. When she saw that the bats were almost ready to attack, she raged, "You'll all regret this!"
Han Yunxi looked at her Cold Eyes without a word. Long Fei Ye suddenly brandished his sword, forcing Witch Aunt to retreat. She had no choice but to lay her cards on the table with Han Yunxi. "Han Yunxi, now isn't the time to be angry. I'll tell you the truth, it's impossible for me to deal with these bats with my skills, much less you. We have to work together or it'll be too late! Think it over! "
As she spoke, Long Fei Ye's sword pressed against her neck. Witch Aunt's martial arts skills were good, but she was no match for Long Fei Ye with the unconscious Chu Tianyin in tow.
Gu rushed forward to grab Witch Aunt while Chu Xifeng took Chu Tianyin. Meanwhile, the sky above the sacrificial altar seemed to be covered by a black cloth.
The vampiric poison bats had already formed up and were about to attack.
Witch Aunt's face turned ashen at the sight. She was so anxious that she almost shouted, "Han Yunxi, that's enough! Your arrogance and conceit will only bring harm to everyone! Let me go right now, I still have a way! Hurry up, do you hear me?! "
Han Yunxi stared at her without moving, her eyes filled with sympathy.
At this very moment, all the bats in the sky became restless and began to boil.
Witch Aunt grew more and more terrified until she was about to lose her mind. "Han Yunxi, they're about to attack! Do you want to die? Just take it that I'm begging you! Let's work together. You just need to cover me, I'll definitely find the bat king! "
Han Yunxi stood in front of her, unmoving.
At this moment, the bats above them were the first to attack. Dozens of them formed into an arrow-shaped formation before swooping down from all directions.
It's too late, it's too late! Witch Aunt was stunned. She didn't want to die, much less die a miserable death! She struggled violently but who knew that Gu would let go of her in an instant.
She didn't have time to think and immediately drew her bow. But just as she was about to release the arrow, the originally aggressive and highly organized vampiric poison bats seemed to have been frightened by something and suddenly dispersed. Each and every one of them fled in all directions in a panic and in just a short while, they had all disappeared without a trace.
Witch Aunt was stunned as she stared in disbelief for a long time, unable to believe her own eyes. "This … what's going on?"
She seemed to have thought of something as she suddenly turned her head to look at Han Yunxi. "You … you …"
She wanted to ask Han Yunxi what she had done but she couldn't bring herself to ask. She couldn't believe that it was Han Yunxi who had dispersed the vampiric poison bats.
But other than Han Yunxi, who else could it be? Once the vampiric poison bats had identified their target, there was no way that they would disperse, not to mention escape.
Han Yunxi hadn't done anything other than cradling the unconscious little thing in her arms and gently stroking it.
Witch Aunt naturally saw the little squirrel in Han Yunxi's hands, but she didn't take it to heart. She would never have guessed that this little plaything was the Poison Sect's most precious poison beast.
She stared blankly for a long time before muttering, "Han Yunxi, is it really you?"
Han Yunxi didn't answer or explain, only arching a brow at her with a faint smile. Witch Aunt recalled what she had just said and how Gu and the others had mocked her. She couldn't help but blush.
This was the first time in her life that she'd been humiliated to the point of blushing! For the first time, she realized that she was the one who was truly ignorant and conceited.
She had been on guard against the poison creatures, but Han Yunxi had easily dealt with them. She didn't even know how Han Yunxi had done it!
Witch Aunt only felt that her decades of painstaking study of poison had been for nothing. She had actually lost to a damned brat like Han Yunxi.
How humiliating!
Although she was too embarrassed to ask, Witch Aunt still wanted to know. "Han Yunxi, how did you disperse the bats? And how did you deal with the poison in the vines just then? Tell me! "
Gu wanted to know as well, so he immediately pricked up his ears. She really did speak. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. You're Chu Qingge's relative, right? No wonder you're as ignorant and conceited as her. "
"You! You! " Witch Aunt was both embarrassed and angry. Her fingernails dug into her palms as she raised a hand to slap her. But she didn't get a chance, because Long Fei Ye had already grabbed her hand and twisted it viciously, breaking it in two.
His voice was cold. "Your lordship isn't planning to kill you yet. If you're seeking death, your lordship will make you wish you were dead!"
Witch Aunt was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. Her hand hung by her side, but she didn't dare to move her other hand. Even if she still had the strength to use poisons, she didn't have the heart to do so. She had already used all of her poisons on the vines, so using them again would only make her a laughingstock.
Han Yunxi, that damned brat, she's so scary! In the end, she hung her head and admitted defeat.
"Witch Aunt, I'll have to trouble you to go back and tell Chu Qingge that with that brain of hers … she's not worthy of liking my husband!" Han Yunxi suddenly said coldly. Her tone was domineering, her eyes cold and arrogant like a queen.
Chu Xifeng and Tang Li were both stunned, while Gu felt both sad and helpless. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh at her antics. She was the only woman in all of Cloud Realm Continent who could say such things. He … liked it very much.
As for Long Fei Ye, he looked expressionless, but the twitching of his lips betrayed his inner feelings. He was used to being domineering, so he suddenly found it hard to get used to this woman's domineering ways.
An old woman like Witch Aunt was once again stunned by Han Yunxi. She finally understood why her niece had lost so miserably. She herself had lost, hadn't she?
After subduing Chu Tianyin and Witch Aunt and obtaining the fourth poison teardrop, Han Yunxi's group's trip to the Poison Sect was quite complete.
Although they didn't know how they'd ended up in this forest, they were certain that they'd left the underground palace. This should be one of the forests of the poison grounds, so it should be easy to leave.
They had to leave as soon as possible. After all, the collapse of the underground palace had caused quite a commotion. It'd be troublesome if the medical academy sent people over.
After capturing Chu Tianyin and Witch Aunt, they were about to leave when Han Yunxi gave a start and stopped in her tracks.
Just then, she'd felt her very soul tremble. After a momentary daze, she slowly turned around to look at the wordless stele in the center of the Poison Sect's sacrificial altar.
The stele was simple and mysterious. Half of it was black, while the other half was covered in moss. One side was lifeless, while the other was full of life. It was like a mixture of light and darkness, life and death.
Han Yunxi seemed to be drawn in by a mysterious, invisible force. Her mind was completely blank, and all she could see was the stele. She looked like her soul had left her body.
Long Fei Ye held her hand and could clearly feel the coldness of her fingers.
He didn't know what was going on, but he still felt a little flustered. "Han Yunxi, what are you looking at?" he asked anxiously.
Han Yunxi recovered her wits. She had no idea what had happened to her either. "Nothing … I was just looking. Let's go."
Long Fei Ye tightened his grip on her hand and glanced at the stele again. He felt uneasy and didn't want to linger for even a moment longer.
After searching for a while, they finally discovered that they were in the abyss between two mountains covered in poison grass. They spent a lot of effort and avoided the patrolling guards from the medical academy. It was only when night fell that they finally returned to Medical City.
They naturally wouldn't stay in Medical City for long, so they left after a short rest. Once they were out of the city, Long Fei Ye released Witch Aunt.
He said, "Go back and tell the Nether Clan Head that his son is in this prince's hands!"
Nether Clan?
Han Yunxi was curious …
