Chapter 8390 8389-
"I don\'t have to tell you. I found this Poison Heart grass first. My people are luring away the darkness magical beasts guarding the poison Heart grass. Are you trying to steal my things?"
Lin Yi said with a straight face.
It was not a problem to start a fight, but it would be less fun. It was more interesting to make up a reason.
"Nonsense, how could such a small amount of Poison Heart grass be protected by a darkness magical beast? you\'re clearly lying through your teeth!"
The person who spoke just now firmly denied it. Alchemists all knew that only a few hundred stalks of Poison Heart grass would attract the attention of the darkness demon beast, and it would wait nearby for it to mature.
A mere 30 stalks ... Those darkness magical beasts probably didn\'t have the time to wait for them. At most, they would think of it one day and see if it had matured.
The poisonous heart grass here had already matured for a period of time, and since it hadn\'t been eaten by the darkness demon beasts, it was obvious that they didn\'t take it to heart.
"You\'re the one who\'s talking nonsense, right? If you want to snatch it, just say it, why are you hiding it?"
Lin Yi curled his lips in disdain as he continued to provoke the man\'s anger.
Another Academy\'s leader shouted in a low voice,"Why are you wasting your breath on him? He\'s alone right now, so let\'s take him down first!"
"That\'s right! You brat, you\'re alone, and you still dare to come out and cause trouble. You really don\'t take the road to heaven, but you barge into hell! Do it!"
The person who had just spoken also reacted, so he no longer spoke nonsense and directly waved his hand to signal his men to work.
The four hired thugs had a tacit understanding. They had been hanging out with each other all year round, and the people hired by the various Academies were basically acquaintances, so their cooperation was extremely familiar.
The four of them moved and surrounded Lin Yi, forming a simple battle formation.
Of course, even though it was a simple battle formation in Lin Yi\'s eyes, it was extremely powerful in their eyes.
Under normal circumstances, under their joint attack, even an ordinary mid-stage sea shattering expert might not be able to break out of the encirclement quickly.
"Sima Yi, don\'t struggle anymore. It\'s better for you to obediently surrender and avoid suffering!"
The leaders of the two academies didn\'t rashly join in the siege. Instead, they wandered around the periphery, ready to pick up scraps.
The four of them had a tacit understanding of their formation, and their participation would only destroy that understanding. It was better to increase Lin Yi\'s psychological pressure from the outside.
They were naturally on their guard when Lin Yi killed he Shinan with one move, but they didn\'t think that Lin Yi\'s strength was that high!
They thought that with so many of them working together, taking Lin Yi down would be easy!
A weird smile appeared on Lin Yi\'s face as he spread his arms wide open in a defenseless stance."I didn\'t struggle. As for whether you can capture me or not, that will depend on your abilities!"
He\'d come alone to make them lower their guard and attack first, and now that his goal was achieved, these people were all focused on Lin Yi, not paying attention to their surroundings at all.
At most, they were trying to figure out where Lin Yi\'s friends were, but they didn\'t realize that the ground, tree trunks, branches, and other places had vines growing and moving silently, like countless silent poisonous snakes, quickly surrounding them!
They thought that they were bullying Lin Yi with numbers, but they didn\'t know that the forest was Lin Yi\'s home ground. They were the ones who were being bullied!
"What the hell is this?"
One of the footmen was the first to notice it because his ankle was wrapped in vines.
Lin Yi\'s lips twitched, thinking that the thing was still in the Jade space. You called the wrong person, no, you called the wrong ghost!
Their battle formation wasn\'t complicated, but it was full of flaws in Lin Yi\'s eyes-a single vine was enough to mess them up!
Although they reacted quickly and used their weapons to cut off one, the problem was that they were in the forest!
How could a forest only have one vine?
Countless vines began to whip and entangle them as if they had gone crazy. These people were caught off guard and simply had no time to make effective defensive measures!
The poison Heart grass that he didn\'t have time to pick turned into vicious killers as well. The leaves shot out, and under the control of Lin Yi\'s spirit sense, they cut open the skin of those who were restrained by the vines.
Poison Heart grass was extremely poisonous before it was picked!
Only after they were picked and processed and dried could they be used as medicine. Fresh Poison Heart grass could only be used to make poison!
Although the people from these two academies had only been scratched a little by the poisonous heart grass, they quickly showed signs of being poisoned. Each and every one of them was so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.
As alchemists, they did not need to be afraid of the poison of the poison Heart grass. The problem was that they could not free up their hands to detoxify themselves and could only watch as they died from the poison!
That kind of terrifying feeling of waiting for death was absolutely impossible to understand unless one had experienced it personally.
"I surrender! Don\'t kill me!"
Some of the teachers couldn\'t hold on any longer and began to cry and beg for mercy. Some people took the lead, and the rest didn\'t hesitate to hold on for long, expressing their willingness to surrender.
The hired porters could last longer than them, but seeing that their employers had surrendered, they naturally had no need to risk their lives!
"Don\'t worry, none of you will die!"
"Come to think of it, I didn\'t even do anything, and you\'re asking me not to kill you? that\'s a bit unreasonable!" Lin Yi clapped his hands with a smile.
"If word got out, people would think that I, Sima Yi, did something to you! But this matter was clearly you guys who snatched the poison Heart grass first, then angered this forest and was punished. It has nothing to do with me!"
The people from the two academies were already dizzy and felt that it was a sign of the poison. They were extremely anxious. Regardless of whether it made sense or not, the right thing to do was to quickly detoxify us!
Lin Yi didn\'t want to kill them. The rules didn\'t allow killing, but if they really wanted to, then so be it.
Lin Yi really didn\'t plan on taking their lives, and so he took out the antidote as he teased them.
"you wanted to scheme against me, so i should have killed you to avoid future trouble. however, the heavens are kind and we don\'t have any deep hatred between us, so i\'ll let you go. if you dare to scheme against me again in the future, it won\'t be so easy anymore!"
lin yi said as he stuffed the pills into their mouths. these people didn\'t have any grounds to refuse in order to live, and they opened their mouths to swallow the pills. it was only when the pills entered their mouths that they realized something was wrong.
it seemed like ... there were two?
"sima yi, what pill did you give us?"
"why are there two? the poison of the poisonous heart grass can be resolved with an antidote pill!"
Lin Yi shrugged with a smile.
