Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Sima Yi! Why are you here!"

The leader of one of the colleges was shocked and angry. When he discovered that it was Lin Yi, he immediately looked around vigilantly, and then said with doubts: "Are you alone? Where are the people from Fuyao Alchemy College?"

"I won't tell you anymore. I discovered the poisonous heart grass first. My people are trying to lure away the dark monsters guarding the poisonous heart grass. Are you robbing me?"

Lin Yi talked nonsense seriously.

It's okay to just start at the beginning, but it's less fun. It's more fun to just make up some random reasons and learn from a famous teacher.

"Nonsense, such a small amount of poisonous heart grass, how can there be a dark monster guarding it? You are obviously telling lies!"

The person who just spoke categorically denied it. Alchemists all know that only hundreds of poisonous heart grasses will attract the attention of dark monsters, and then they will wait nearby to mature.

A mere thirty plants... Those dark monsters probably don't have much time to wait. At most, they will remember to stop by to see if they are mature.

The poisonous heart grass here has almost matured for a while. Since it has not been swallowed by the dark monster, it is obviously not taken seriously.

"You're the one who's talking nonsense, right? If you want to rob, just say it, why bother covering it up?"

Lin Yi curled his lips with a disdainful expression and continued to provoke the other party's anger.

The leader of another college shouted: "What are you talking about with him! He is alone now, let's take him down first!"

"That's right! You kid is alone and you still dare to come out and cause trouble. It's true that there is a way to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell and you break in! Do it!"

The person who had just spoken also realized what he was saying, so he stopped talking nonsense and waved his hands directly to tell his men to work.

The four hired thugs had a tacit understanding of each other. They had been hanging out together all year round. Most of the people hired by each college were acquaintances, so they cooperated very well.

The four people moved and spread out to surround Lin Yi, forming a simple battle formation.

Of course, even a simple battle formation in Lin Yi's eyes was very awesome in their eyes.

Because in normal times, under their joint attack, ordinary warriors in the middle stage of Sea Splitting may not be able to break through quickly.

"Sima Yi, stop struggling, just surrender and be captured, so as not to suffer more!"

The leaders of the two colleges did not join the siege rashly, but wandered around the periphery, preparing to pick up the slack.

Because the four people had a tacit understanding of the battle formation, their joining would only destroy this tacit understanding. It would be better to increase Lin Yi's psychological pressure on the periphery.

When Lin Yi killed He Bina with one move before, they were naturally wary, but they didn't think Lin Yi's strength was really that unpredictable!

They felt that with so many people on their side joining forces, it would be easy to take down Lin Yi!

Lin Yi had a weird smile on his face and spread his arms in a defenseless posture: "I didn't struggle. As for whether you can capture me, it depends on your ability!"

The purpose of coming here alone is to make them relax their vigilance and take the initiative to attack. Now that the goal has been achieved, these people's attention has been focused on Lin Yi, and they have completely lost sight of the surrounding environment.

At most, they were looking for where Lin Yi's companions were, but they didn't find that vines were growing and moving silently on the ground, tree trunks, branches, etc., like countless quiet poisonous snakes, quickly surrounding them!

They thought they were bullying others, but they didn't know that the forest was Lin Yi's home field, and they were the ones who were going to be bullied!

"What the hell!"

A porter and thug were the first to notice it, also because his ankle was entangled in vines.

Lin Yi pouted, thinking that the ghost didn't come out of the jade pendant space. You called the wrong person, no, you called the wrong ghost!

Their battle formation was not complicated, but in Lin Yi's eyes it was full of flaws. Just a single vine would cause chaos in their formation!

Although they reacted quickly and quickly cut off one of them with their weapons, the problem was that this was a forest!

How could there be only one vine in the forest?

Countless vines began to whip and entangle as if going crazy. These people were caught off guard and had no time to take effective defensive measures!

And those poisonous heart grasses that were not picked in time also turned into vicious killers. The grass blades flew and, under the guidance and control of Lin Yi's consciousness, scratched the skin of those restricted by the vines.

Poison heart grass, before picking it, is highly poisonous!

After picking, processing and drying, it can be used as medicine. Fresh poisonous heart grass can only be used to make poison!

Although the people in these two colleges were only slightly scratched by the Poisonous Heart Grass, they soon had a reaction to the poisoning. They all turned pale and trembled with fear.

As alchemists, they are not afraid of the poisonous heart grass. The problem is that they can't detoxify themselves now, so they can only watch themselves die from the poison!

The terrifying feeling of waiting to die is absolutely incomprehensible to anyone who has not experienced it personally.

"I surrender! Don't kill me!"

Some instructors from the college could not hold on any longer and began to cry and beg for mercy. Someone took the lead, and the rest did not hesitate to hold on for long and expressed their willingness to surrender.

The hired porters persisted longer than them, but seeing that their employers had surrendered, there was no need for them to risk their lives!

"Don't worry, none of you can die!"

Lin Yi smiled and clapped his hands: "Speaking of which, I didn't even take action. You want me not to kill you. This is a bit unreasonable!"

"When the news spread, I thought it was me, Sima Yi, why did you do it! But this incident is clearly because you snatched the Poisonous Heart Grass first, and then angered the forest, and you were punished. It has nothing to do with me at all!"

The people in the two colleges are already a little dizzy, feeling that it is a precursor to the poison, and they are extremely anxious. Don't care whether it makes sense or not, it is the right thing for you to help us detoxify quickly!

Lin Yi didn't want to kill them. Although the rules did not allow killing, if he really had the intention to kill, he would just kill them.

Lin Yi really didn't intend to kill them, so while teasing them, he had already taken out the antidote.

"Ordinarily, if you want to plot against me, you should be killed to avoid future troubles. However, God has good intentions, and there is no deep hatred between us, so I just let you go. If you dare to plot against me again in the future, it will not be so easy. !”

Lin Yi stuffed the elixir into their mouths as he spoke. In order to survive, these people had no room to refuse. They opened their mouths and swallowed cooperatively. When the elixir entered their mouth, they realized that something was wrong.

It seems... there are two?

"Sima Yi, what kind of pill did you give us?"

"Why are there two? The poison of Poisonous Heart Grass can be solved with just one antidote pill!"

After hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and shrugged.

Note: Two updates will be resumed next month!
