Chapter 164 Better to kill the wrong person than let one go!
The herb-gathering woman's expression changed.
She never expected that this dark-skinned guy could still stand after taking her vicious slap!
Without thinking twice, she hurriedly pulled a bamboo tube from her bosom and uncorked it.
Swoosh—
A colorful shadow darted out and headed straight for Erming's face!
Erming's pupils constricted sharply!
That's a centipede! It's multicolored and glows with an eerie fluorescence all over its body; it's definitely not an ordinary creature!
Even more deadly is—
The moment this thing appeared, the hairs on his body stood on end!
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
run!
Without saying a word, Erming turned and ran!
They didn't even care about Tang San's life or death!
Are you kidding me? If you're dead, why would you protect that bald monk?
The five-colored centipede missed its target, landed on the ground, raised its head, and hissed threateningly.
Little Fairy Doctor watched Erming's disheveled escape but did not give chase.
She looked down at Tang San, who was lying unconscious on the ground, then looked into the distance, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.
A short while later, a group of men and women dressed in strange clothes emerged from the forest.
There were old and young, men and women, all dressed strangely, with bizarre patterns painted on their faces and unfriendly eyes.
"Holy Maiden! Are you alright?"
An elderly man with white hair and beard, his head wrapped in colorful cloth, quickly stepped forward, his face full of concern.
"fine."
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head, her gaze falling on Tang San:
"This person is from Chaoge."
"Chaoge?!"
Everyone's expression changed instantly.
"Those merchants are despicable! They actually sent people in disguise to spy on us!"
"Fortunately, the saintess was quick-witted!"
"Take him back! Interrogate him thoroughly!"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded.
This herb-gathering woman was none other than Little Fairy Doctor, who had been transported to the prehistoric world.
She was unlucky back then,
Upon landing, they were teleported to a valley filled with poisonous miasma.
Unable to withstand the immense pressure of the primordial spiritual energy, he fainted.
It was just that her life wasn't meant to end.
When she fainted, her toxic body awakened, instinctively and frantically absorbing the surrounding poisonous gas, barely keeping her alive.
It was later discovered by the Shanli people.
The Shanli tribe is one of the Nine Li tribes, specializing in taming poisonous beasts.
When the elders examined her physique, they were immediately amazed by her extraordinary abilities!
This physique is simply tailor-made for the Jiuli people!
After rescuing her, he immediately bestowed upon her the title of Holy Maiden, taught her martial arts techniques, and used secret methods and medicines to strengthen her physique.
Recently, the Jiuli and Dashang went to war. Since her cultivation level was not high, she was transferred to the rear.
I was out collecting herbs today when I bumped into these two sneaky fellows.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Tang San slowly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself tied up in a large urn, with only my head sticking out.
All around him, a group of men and women dressed in strange clothes stared at him coldly, as if they were looking at a criminal.
"Where...where am I?!"
Tang San was terrified and struggled desperately, but the rope was tied too tightly, and the more he struggled, the tighter it became.
"Who are you people?! Why are you kidnapping me?!"
An elderly man with white hair and beard, his head wrapped in a colorful cloth, stepped forward and stared down at him.
"I'd like to ask you, who are you?"
Tang San quickly said:
"This humble monk, Tang San, comes from Chaoge, on his journey to the Western Paradise to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures—"
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man struck him on the forehead with his cane, making him see stars.
"Going on a pilgrimage? What kind of pilgrimage?"
"I think you're here to gather intelligence!"
"Speak! What have you found out?! Where is the army deployed?!"
Tang San was stumped by the question:
"What army? What defenses? This humble monk is truly only on a pilgrimage!"
"Still dare to argue?"
From the crowd, Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward, looking at him with eyes full of mockery:
"You said you're from Chaoge?"
"right!"
"Riding military horses?"
Tang San felt so wronged he wanted to cry:
"That horse was a gift from a general on the road! This humble monk is truly not a spy!"
"Why would we need to travel to these desolate mountains to obtain scriptures?"
"Why would a journey to retrieve scriptures require riding a military horse?"
"Why would a pilgrimage require a dark, shadowy monster as a companion?"
Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes:
"Your lie is so obviously fabricated."
She had never seen such a stupid spy.
Leading monsters, riding warhorses, they sneaked into the enemy's rear—
What else could this be but a spy?
Tang San opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
It's like mud falling into your pants; even if it's not shit, it looks like shit.
"Alright."
The white-haired old man waved his hand:
"Since he's so stubborn, let him experience the methods of the Nine Li."
"No, no, no! This humble monk is truly innocent! This humble monk—"
Nobody believed him.
The faces of the group were filled with expressions of deep hatred and anticipation.
Soon, several shirtless burly men carried a jar forward.
When the jar was opened, a pungent, fishy smell wafted out, almost making Tang San vomit on the spot.
He peeked out and his face turned deathly pale!
The jar is full of poison!
Colorful venomous snakes, hairy spiders, jet-black scorpions, and all sorts of disgusting insects whose names I don't know.
The things wriggled, tangled, and piled up inside the jar, making hissing and rustling sounds.
Just looking at it gives you the creeps.
"These are all specialties of our Jiuli people."
The white-haired old man circled the jars, introducing them to him one by one:
"This snake is called the Soul-Devouring Python. If it bites you, it will devour your soul."
"This scorpion is called the Heart-Burning Scorpion. If it stings you, it feels like your heart is on fire."
"This spider is called..."
With each person he introduced, Tang San's face paled a little more.
He had seen some of them in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu (Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record), and some he had never heard of, but without a doubt—
They are all extremely poisonous creatures!
"If you confess now, you can avoid this physical pain."
The old man looked at him with a smile.
"This humble monk...this humble monk is truly innocent!"
Tang San was about to cry:
"What do you want this humble monk to explain? This humble monk knows nothing!"
The old man sighed.
With a wave of his hand.
A poisonous snake was thrown into a large urn.
"ah--!!!"
Tang San's screams echoed through the valley!
The snake bit his leg, and he felt his soul convulsing!
"I am innocent! I am innocent!"
"explain!"
"This humble monk truly does not know! Ahhh—!"
Another spider was thrown in.
"This humble monk—! Ahhh—!"
The screams grew increasingly shrill.
"Speak! Where is the Shang army?!"
"I don't know! I really don't know!"
"I'm just on a pilgrimage! That horse was a gift from a general! I don't even know his name!"
Tang San was in tears, and his voice was hoarse from shouting.
At that moment, he hated the general who gave him the white horse!
I hate Erming even more for deserting his post!
If you're going to run away, why can't you take him with you?!
An elderly man with white hair stood to one side, expressionless.
He'd seen plenty of people like that.
At first they were all stubborn, but if you let a few more in, they confessed everything.
"continue."
He spoke calmly.
Several more poisonous creatures appeared in the large urn.
Tang San's screams grew increasingly shrill, but they kept repeating the same few sentences.
