Chapter - 336 Mountains of Jewels
Mountains of Jewels
*POM!*
Old Tortoise collapsed on the ground soon after they left the arena. His composition was not as strong as others; his entire body was now full of bloody scratch marks.
It was a praiseworthy feat for him to last this long without faltering.
"Old Tortoise!"
The remnants of the Hundred Beasts Faction quickly gathered around him, though they still suffered from the intense itch while they checked up on Old Tortoise.
They still could not stop scratching themselves.
"I'm alright… I just need some fresh air…" Old Tortoise laid flat on the floor; his voice was weak. "Poison Rat… Is it possible that our blood could be used as an antidote? I could feel my bleeding spots are not that itchy anymore…"
"Blood? I don't think so… You'll need some special herbs to nullify the effect of itchy powder…"
Poison Rat fell into thought for a while, and he got an idea.
"It seems like this itchy powder is different from the normal itchy powder… Maybe… I have a way now!"
*Spit*
Poison Rat spat a mouthful of saliva on one palm and rubbed his hands.
"The itch is gone!" Poison Rat said excitedly. "My hands are no longer itchy! The powder is dissolvable in the water! Everyone, you can use your saliva as antidote!".
"Nice! Nice! Nice! Finally, there's a way to sooth the itchiness!"
*Spit*
*Spit*
*Spit*
Old Tortoise and the two remaining fighters were excited as well; they quickly spat some saliva and applied it on their faces.
"F*ck…"
Appalled Long Aotian watched as his comrades rubbed saliva all over their own bodies. He, however, had pride.
Furthermore, he had always appeared before others in his white outfit and white shoes – and was clearly a clean freak. Naturally, dabbing saliva all over his own body was a fate worse than death to him!
"Master, why are you just standing there? Quick, neutralize the poison! You are going to be disfigured if you keep on scratching your face!" Poison Rat urged him on.
"Master! You shouldn't care too much about little things like this for something much more important! It will be bad if this poison causes major harm to your body!"
"That's right! We are not wimps! Cleanliness isn't that important to us!"
The other two fighters were urging their leader on as well.
"I…" Long Aotian was frustrated, unable to find words in reply.
Were they saying that he would not be able to do great things if he refused to use his saliva as antidote?
Would his comrades see him as a wimp if he refused to use his own saliva as cure?
That being said, he was a clean freak! How could he do such a disgusting act?
Long almost puked at the thought of the 'remedy'.
"Master!" Old Tortoise was hurrying him along too. "You need to do it now… I think… We can still give them a surprise attack!"
Everyone turned serious at Old Tortoise's words.
Long Aotian asked in a deep voice, "Old Tortoise, what do you mean?"
"Bao Linshuang is truly special. He keeps coming up with surprise after surprise, but his trump cards are definitely limited! He wouldn't have let us go otherwise!"
"Are you trying to say… His trump cards are all spent? That he was just bluffing the whole time?" Long Aotian came to a realization, his eyes widened.
"That's right!" Old Tortoise nodded. "I was stunned by his powerful aura as well. But in hindsight, if he was that powerful, he would have killed all of us right then!"
"I… F*ck this motherf*cker!!! How dare he f*ck with us!!!" Long was so furious that he almost spat blood.
He was a Jianghu elite with ten thousand combat power; he could not believe that he bought Chen's deception.
It was the biggest humiliation of his life.
"Our master is so wise! But… You have to do something about that itch first!" Old Tortoise added.
"I…" Long Aotian was taken aback. The itch brought him back to reality!
"My mouth is too dry… I don't think I have enough saliva…" he mumbled.
"Master! Let me help you!" Poison Rat said with a smile.
"Huh? How are you going to help me?" Long Aotian turned around.
*Spit*
Poison Rat took a deep breath and spat a mouthful of viscous saliva at Long Aotian's face. He overdid it a little; there were some phlegm mixed in.
*Splash*
The mouthful of bubbly, sticky saliva landed on his leader's face. It was a scene reminiscent of pornography!
"You motherf*cker!!! What the hell are you doing?!!"
Long felt like the entire world fell on his head – the next thing he knew was the violent rumbling in his stomach. In seconds, he fell to his knees and started to vomit incessantly!
"I thought you said you did not have enough saliva in your mouth… And I have a lot… So, I decided to help you…" Poison Rat said, and quickly shut his mouth as he saw his boss threw him a cannibalistic glare.
*Blaaargh…*
...…
Inside the tomb.
Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti were still running down the long flight stairs that led below ground.
Worried, Luo Puti asked: "Your trump cards are finished! What are you going to do if they come after us again?! It's going to be a dead-end down there!"
"We have to keep going even if that's the case… If we don't keep moving forward, our enemies will start to get suspicious. They'll soon learn that I was just bluffing, and we'll be dead!" Her brother answered in frustration.
"It's my fault… If only I was more careful I would not have fell into Poison Rat's trap. Things could have been different!"
"Don't think too much… There's always hope!" Chen smiled and jokingly. "Also, I witnessed the Ice Demon Queen crying for me just now… It'll be worth it even if I end up dead!"
"Nonsense! Who cried for you? Some sand went into my eyes just now!" Luo blushed.
It seemed that even the queen had her embarrassing moments as well, so Chen did not tease her further. A gentleman should never place a lady on the spot.
"I saw a flash ahead of us! I can see the end of the long stairs!" Luo Puti told him. She also seemed chirpier all of a sudden.
Chen nodded.
"Alright! Let's go!"
A vast manmade space awaited. Though it was half the size of the arena, its decorations were very valuable!
The floor was made of black jade! According to what Chen Xiaobei knew, a small piece of black jade was worth millions!
There was also a gigantic golden dragon-themed chandelier hanging down the middle of the dome as well. A hundred and eight luminous night pearls were used in place of the candles, which illuminated the whole place as bright as daylight!
And there were piles upon piles of jewelry around them as well!
Any normal human being would definitely have been attracted by the huge amount of treasures! However, Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti chose to ignore them all and rushed to the middle of the room.
