Chapter 901 Mixed Toxins
The three of them were at the stage of Voiding Realm. They reached a distance of a few hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
It was an open space of about 100 square meters. There was a gurgling stream nearby and the view was quite pleasant.
An oven sat next to the stream, on which roasted chicken wings, fragrant mutton skewers, and some other mushrooms and vegetables were placed.
Other than that, there was not a single person in sight.
Xue Pan angrily cursed, “This crafty guy sure can make a quick escape.”
“Brother Xue, should we chase after them?” Another companion asked.
Before Xue Pan could speak, He Kaishan said, “Brother Xue, there’s no hurry to chase after them. The chicken wings cooked by this guy look really good. Why don’t we eat a little before we leave?”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the chicken wings and mutton skewers off the oven. The aroma was even stronger.
Even though he was a cultivator, he had never seen such delicious food in his life. Thus, he couldn’t help drooling and exclaimed, “This guy is a good cook!”
Xue Pan looked at the golden chicken wings and mutton skewers. He could not help being tempted, too. However, he still said cautiously, “Be careful. This guy may have added something to the food.”
He Kaishan took out an object about 20 centimeters long and as thick as a finger from his Storage Ring. It glowed with a green light.
“Brother Xue, don’t worry. I have a magic treasure that is able to detect poisonous things. If the food is poisonous, it will glow with a red light as soon as it touched the food.”
As he spoke, he used the magic treasure in his hand to scan the roasted chicken wings and mutton skewers. The magic treasure glowed with a green light. There was no change at all.
“Brother Xue, don’t worry. There’s nothing wrong with this food. They must have just roasted the food well and ran off as soon as they saw us. How could they have time to poison it?”
He Kaishan said as he passed a handful of mutton skewers to Xue Pan and another companion. Then he took a big bite out of a chicken wing.
Xue Pan agreed with what he said. He took the mutton skewers and ate them one after another, without any doubts.
Their companion took a bottle of beer from the ground and said to He Kaishan, “Test this, Brother He. See if this wine is poisonous.”
He Kaishan placed his magic treasure into the bottle and quickly pulled it out. There was still no trace of poison.
“Don’t worry, you can drink it. There won’t be any problems.”
Then, He Kaishan grabbed a bottle of beer and took a big gulp.
After putting down the bottle, he couldn’t help but praise it, “Brother Xue, have a taste of this wine. It’s really good. I’ve never tasted such good wine in so many years.”
Next, he drank up the rest of the beer in one gulp.
Xue Pan and his companion did not hesitate any longer. They ate the mutton skewers with one hand and drank the beer with the other.
The three of them enjoyed the food while they guarded the oven. Soon, they finished all the food left by Qin Haodong. They drank several bottles of beer too.
He Kaishan wiped his mouth and said with dissatisfaction, “Yum! It’s really delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious stuff before!”
“Since it’s so delicious, pay for it.”
In a bantering voice, Qin Haodong, the Little Witch and Zhao Xingyue came out of the nearby jungle.
“Qin Haodong, how dare you come here? I’ll teach you a lesson.”
He Kaishan quickly jumped up from the ground and wanted to attack Qin Haodong. However, as soon as he took two steps, his legs became wobbly and he fell to the ground.
Xue Pan was shocked and quickly ran his Genuine Qi. He found that there was no movement in his dantian.
He shouted, “Oh, no! We’ve been poisoned!”
Qin Haodong laughed and said, “What do you think? I have nothing to do but roast meat for you? Also, the beer, feels good to drink it, right?
“But my fee is very high. Hurry up and give me your Spirit Stones.”
He Kaishan cried out in disbelief, “How can this be? I’ve already checked. There’s nothing wrong with the food.”
“People like you are really stupid,” Qin Haodong said, “there’s nothing wrong with the beer. So too with the food. However, you will be poisoned if you eat the food and drink the beer at the same time.
“I don’t know if you have heard of mixed toxins. These kinds of toxins can’t be detected on their own, nor will they do harm to the human body. However, if the two toxins are mixed together, the results will be very interesting.
“I knew you wouldn’t fall for it so easily. That’s why I used this special method of ‘mixed toxins’ to poison the food and beer.
“It’s your fault for being greedy and now you should pay the price.”
“What my little brother said is right. You were too greedy.”
The Little Witch jumped over and pinched Xue Pan’s face hard. Then she reached out and took off his Storage Ring.
Next, the Storage Rings belonging to He Kaishan and another student were also taken away by her.
“Little brother, these three guys are quite rich. They have more money than any of the teams robbed by us before.”
The Little Witch found 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones in their Storage Rings.
Xue Pan cried, “Half of them are my personal property, they were not robbed. You can’t take them away.”
Qin Haodong said with a smile, “There seems to be no such rule in the academy, right? All the Spirit Stones carried by you will be my trophy!”
After that, he took 10,000 top-level Spirit Stones and threw the three Storage Rings back to the three of them.
When he saw half of the Spirit Stones he had worked so hard to snatch being taken away, He Kaishan’s heart bled. However, there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, he had an idea. His expression turned angry and he shouted, “Brat, you win!
“But so what? You can only take half of it. You must leave the rest for me. Take them all if you can.”
“He Kaishan, do you think I don’t dare?”
The Little Witch said and was about to grab He Kaishan’s Storage Ring again when Qin Haodong quickly stopped her.
“Little brother, don’t stop me. I must teach this arrogant guy a lesson,” the Little Witch said angrily.
“Don’t be impulsive. If you rob him of his money again, you will be fooled,” Qin Haodong said, “don’t forget the rules of the hunting competition in the academy. You can only take half of his money at a time.
“If we take away all of his Spirit Stones, not only will we have to return all of them, but we will also lose our right to participate in the hunting competition.”
He had lived for more than 500 years. How could he not know that this was He Kaishan’s scheme? He Kaishan wanted to provoke his side first and then he would break the rules.
The Little Witch realized this after she heard what he said and kicked He Kaishan’s butt. “I’ll kick you to death.”
Disappointment flashed through He Kaishan’s eyes. The young man in front of him was smart. He didn’t have the impulsiveness of his age and saw through the trick at a glance.
Although his scheme failed, he still shouted desperately, “You are a coward. If you have the ability, just rob me of all my money!”
Qin Haodong squatted down, looked at him, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry! I won’t let you down. Although I dare not take your money away, there are others.
“The effect of the mixed toxins will last for 24 hours. You won’t be able to move within these 24 hours. The competition will end in less than half a day.
“At that time, if you break the rules and fail to return, you won’t have a single Spirit Stone left in your Storage Ring. All your Spirit Stones will be confiscated by the academy.”
“You…”
He Kaishan was completely dumbfounded. If what Qin Haodong said was true, then they would lose everything in this hunting competition.
Qin Haodong looked at him and smiled. He stood up and called out in a laughing manner at the forest around him. “There are three ‘fat sheep’ here. If you want money, come here quickly. Or, there won’t be any left.”
His powerful long cry resounded throughout the entire mountain forest. It could be heard dozens of kilometers away.
Xue Pan’s expression changed greatly. According to the academy’s rules, only half of the Spirit Stones could be taken away at a time. If anyone came, one after another and they had no ability to resist after being poisoned, there would not be any Spirit Stones left in their hands at the end.
“Senior Brother, I’m coming.”
As soon as Qin Haodong stopped calling, Fang Qiong’er, Yun Qianqian, and their companion rushed over.
He smiled at them and said, “Go ahead. Don’t stand on ceremony. We’ll go first.”
He was afraid that they would be accused of joining forces. After that, he left with the Little Witch and Zhao Xingyue in an instant.
After they left, Yun Qianqian and the other two did not hesitate to rob Xue Pan and the others again, leaving only a quarter of the Spirit Stones in their rings.
As soon as they left, Yun Xiang rushed over with his companions.
Since meeting Qin Haodong, Yun Xiang had come up with a plan. They followed Qin Haodong’s team all the time. In this way, they could save a lot of resistance and even pick up ‘fat sheep’ along the way sometimes.
Now when he saw the poisoned Xue Pan and He Kaishan, he walked up happily and said, “You two are really brainless. You dared to provoke my brother-in-law. Now you have to suffer!”
Then he reached out and took Xue Pan’s ring. Half of the Spirit Stones were rudely taken away by him.
Looking at Yun Xiang and his two companions who had gone far away, Xue Pan was so angry that his eyes seemed to blaze with fire. He cursed angrily, “Qin Haodong, you wait and see. I’m not done with you!”
However, before he could finish his sentence, another team of new students rushed over and took half of the Spirit Stones in their rings.
In this way, team after team came to rob them of their money. Although half of their Spirit Stones were left every time, Xue Pan and He Kaishan did not have many Spirit Stones left in their rings in the end.
Moreover, the time of the competition was about to end. They were still unable to move. The consequences could well be imagined.
Qin Haodong and the other two had gained a lot along the way.
The Little Witch said excitedly, “Little brother, there are a total of 10 teams of old students. We have already robbed 8 teams of money. We won’t rob Sister Yun and her companions. There is only the team of Murong Jinghong and Xiao Yulong left.”
Zhao Xingyue said, “It’s strange. Why haven’t we seen Murong Jinghong and Xiao Yulong along the way? Where have they gone?”
When he heard what she said, Qin Haodong also realized that something was wrong. In theory, Murong Jinghong’s team was the strongest and should have robbed the other teams of their money.
However, they did not meet Murong Jinghong’s team and Murong Jinghong’s team did not rob any of the others either. There was something strange about this. Did this mean that they had given up the hunting competition?
Thinking of this, he shook his head. As the number one master in the academy, Murong Jinghong naturally had her own pride. Since she had taken part in the competition, she would not give up easily.
Moreover, they were in a team of three this time. Even if Murong Jinghong wanted to give up, Xiao Yulong and another person would not agree.
The problem was that there were only a few hours left before the end of the competition. They had not made a move yet. There must be a conspiracy behind it.
At the end of Nightmare Canyon, three students in black school uniforms stood with their hands clasped behind their backs. They were Murong Jinghong, Xiao Yulong and another student.
