"Uh? Fainted already?" Qi Feng patted the little leader's face, but the guy was completely out, showing no signs of waking up.
Qi Feng carefully examined the Bi Xue Worm in his hand. It was just a bright green little bug, round and plump, only half an inch long, seemingly without eyes. If not for the closed mouth Qi Feng noticed, he wouldn't have known which end was the head and which was the tail. This ordinary-looking bug, if seen elsewhere, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it. But how did these guys know it was a Gu worm at first glance? He needed to ask and learn some tricks to avoid being caught off guard if someone tried to harm him with Gu or bugs in the future.
Qi Feng ignored the Ba Yue team leader, who was either really fainted or pretending, and turned to look at the others lying in a row. The remaining henchmen, seeing Qi Feng's gaze, all shuddered in fear. Unfortunately, the Immortal Binding Rope was tied too tightly, and they could only struggle to wriggle backward, looking like big worms.
"You... you, you, don't come over... If you come any closer, I'll scream for help... Help! ~~~~" The men huddled together, screaming like kidnapped women.
Qi Feng was both angry and amused, slapping each of their foreheads, "What are you howling for! Act like a villain, will you? Still screaming?!" Now, Qi Feng's strength was considerable. Although he didn't use much force, it still made them dizzy.
"Behaving now? Just needed a good beating." Qi Feng sneered, noticing the colorful poison powder still on his body, his anger flared up again, "You were so ruthless with electricity and poison just now, but now you're so weak?"
These guys didn't dare to respond. Qi Feng brought the Bi Xue Worm close to their faces, making them shudder even more, "Do you recognize what this Gu worm is?"
They all shook their heads vigorously.
"Do you know it's a Gu?" Qi Feng continued.
They exchanged glances and nodded vigorously.
"Hmm... How did you recognize it as a Gu?"
These Ba Yue henchmen looked at each other, communicating with their eyes for a long time, then stared blankly at Qi Feng.
What's this? Want me to guess? Qi Feng was impatient and kicked one of them, "Speak up."
The one who got kicked, his voice trembling like a stuck tape, "Sir, what you took out... couldn't be a caterpillar, could it? ... Oh... Sir, move it away! Sir, you must have something to ask, just ask quickly, no need to torture us, we'll tell you everything! ... Sir, your Gu worm is so valuable, don't waste it on us..."
Qi Feng chuckled, put the Bi Xue Worm away, and sneered, "With your cowardly nature, how can you mix with evil sects? You should stay home and farm. What are you doing here, showing off?"
The guy who spoke earlier, with a pained expression, replied timidly, "Sir, if you put a knife to my neck... I wouldn't even flinch, but this Gu technique is really... "
Oh? This witchcraft is so powerful and scary? Qi Feng nodded inwardly, he would have to be more careful in the future. It seemed this witchcraft was different from poison, and he wasn't sure if the anti-toxin talent he got from the Tongxi Dragon Pill would work.
"Alright, tell me, where are you from?"
The henchmen didn't hesitate, "From Nanzhao."
Qi Feng nodded and continued, "How many of you came?"
"Just a few!" "More than a hundred!" They answered in a rush.
Qi Feng was furious, "How many, a few or more than a hundred? Messing with me? Looks like I need to use some force to get you to talk."
"Wait, wait, wait! Misunderstanding!" The one who spoke first explained, "More than a hundred set out together, but only a few of us made it here. We're not trying to deceive you, Sir. We wouldn't dare..."
Qi Feng was reassured. If he had wiped them all out, at least this Han Yixian wouldn't be implicated. There were no other issues, so he decided to try feeding the Bi Xue Worm.
The Miao people, seeing Qi Feng stop questioning and take out the Gu worm again, all screamed, "Sir, keep asking... don't use this thing!!"
Qi Feng sighed, "What more can I ask from cannon fodder like you? You know nothing. I know more about your sect leader's plan than you do. He just wants to kill the Witch King and become king, cut off the water spirit vein of the Southern Kingdom to raise a water demon and dominate the three realms. In the end, he'll just be the main character's experience points, so I'll let him run around for a couple more days..."
This information was overwhelming, leaving the Miao people dazed. "The King? Killed by the sect leader? Water demon? The water spirit vein cut by the sect leader? Impossible..."
Qi Feng sneered, "That's why I said you're just cannon fodder, knowing nothing and risking your lives. Stop struggling, let me try this new thing." Thinking about it, the one who fainted seemed to be a small leader, probably the strongest in terms of strength, and now unconscious, making it easier to operate.
Qi Feng held the Bi Xue Worm, pondering. The Bi Xue Worm seemed to need to bite a specific acupoint, but the Gu shop owner didn't specify which one. Fine, let it do its thing. Qi Feng placed the worm on the small leader's body. The worm, which had been motionless like it was hibernating, suddenly perked up upon smelling blood and darted away. Watching a caterpillar move ten times faster than a cockroach was quite a strange feeling.
Qi Feng still had several more. He turned to the Miao people who were still conscious, "No need to squeeze or fight, one for each, no one left out."
The cannon fodder were already pale with fear, struggling to move backward, begging for mercy.
"Whoever opens their mouth, I'll throw this thing in their mouth!" Qi Feng's words made them shut up immediately. He placed one worm on each of them, and the Bi Xue Worms started working as soon as they were thrown.
After all this trouble, Qi Feng remembered Han Yixian and his daughter. Turning around, he found them in a semi-stupor. Clearly, the plot in front of them was too outlandish to understand.
"Hey! Hey!" Qi Feng waved his hand in front of them, "Doctor Han? Miss Han? (Why does this nickname sound so natural to me? It's strange.)"
"Ah!" Han Yixian finally came to, staring at Qi Feng with a strange look for a long time before elbowing him, "You took the princess of their country... and brought her out?"
Oh, my, Qi Feng felt a sweat on his forehead. Uncle, your focus is really unique, so thorough in gossip. Shouldn't you be concerned about the losses at home, ask me for compensation, and think about how to get out of this dangerous royal struggle and sect's world-ending plot to protect your family?
Qi Feng was still thinking about how to clean up the mess and avoid implicating Han Yixian, at least waiting for the main character Li Xiaoyao to arrive and divert the hatred. But Han Yixian had already thought it through and gave him a thumbs up, "Young man, you're quite capable! But we shouldn't stay here long. Take Zhao Girl and go first."
Uh? Take her away? Won't Li Xiaoyao come and find nothing? "Doctor, didn't you say Zhao Girl needs to stay here to rest and stabilize her pregnancy?"
"What if someone else comes and you can't handle it?" Han Yixian's reasoning made sense, and Qi Feng didn't plan to stay here as a bodyguard forever.
Seeing Qi Feng still hesitating, Han Yixian urged, "Go, go, go, it's too late if you wait! Don't worry about her pregnancy, I've checked her pulse. I'll prepare a Six Spirit Pill for you to pick up in the next couple of days, and it will be fine after one dose!"
"What about these guys?" Qi Feng pointed to the row on the ground.
"Oh, easy to handle, send them to the authorities, or throw them in the river if that doesn't work!" Han Yixian was indifferent.
What! Are you really a doctor? Qi Feng asked, "What about you?"
"The sooner you leave, the better for us. If anyone else comes, we'll just say you ran away, and that will be it."
Sigh, alright, Qi Feng thought Han Yixian's plan was thorough. Leaving Zhao Ling'er here seemed unsafe, given the changed plot. He decided to take her away. Just as he was about to agree, a more important question came to mind!
"Uh? Can I take people through the portal?!"
