Chapter 70: Her True Form

"Host, be careful!"

At the split‑second of a hair's breadth, Xiao Jiu's voice sounded: "Quick, use the poison!"

Su Mo didn't have time to think, she snatched the fallen poison bag in front of her and held it tightly in her palm.

She also took a silver needle soaked in poison from her waist.

Yue Ying had already sensed the person approaching Su Mo; he slightly frowned and covertly retrieved the poison bag that Su Mo had given him.

The moment he flung it out, the two people opposite also flung out poison bags; he instinctively held his breath and steadied his qi.

In the staggered instant, a "Bang" rang out, and the people outside forced their way through the carriage.

Yue Ying couldn't waste any time; he turned and tried to seize Su Mo inside the carriage.

But he was still a step too late.

The person outside the carriage was faster than him.

Just as Hei Yi Ren's hand was about to touch Su Mo, she suddenly thrust the poison bag in her hand toward him!

In the next instant, his expression grew dazed for a moment, and even the corner of his mouth couldn't help but bleed a thin line.

Damn! Her poison has upgraded again!

He strained to suppress the spreading effect of the poison inside him, finally exhausting his last ounce of strength to grab the woman before him!

Su Mo's eyes widened in shock 【No way, they don't die? So hard to kill!!!】

"Xiao Jiu, help me quickly! Host, this time I really have to give my account here!!!"

There was no response.

Su Mo: "!!!"

【Broken thing, can you finally be of any use!】

Hei Yi Ren grabbed Su Mo in one hand, and, like a whirlwind, flashed out of the carriage.

Mo Xiao and Fei Yan, after dealing with the matter in the forest, flew in and saw Su Mo being seized!

He and Fei Yan didn't have time to think, and immediately leapt after her.

Su Mo was tightly grasped around the waist by that man; she felt she was about to be strangled to death.

In her desperation, she silently clenched the silver needle in her hand and drove it hard into Hei Yi Ren's wrist!

The man's brow furrowed slightly, and his grip loosened a bit.

Just when Su Mo thought she could escape the tiger's mouth, Hei Yi Ren exerted force and clamped her neck.

Hei Yi Ren threatened with a harsh tone and expression: "Be quiet, or I'll kill you right now!"

Su Mo couldn't help but shiver.

【This is insane, I'm just a background character in the original, how did I end up provoking such a strong opponent! You big fool, why are you grabbing me? Go after the heroine! The heroine is your ultimate target!!!】

After calming for a few seconds, she thought this wouldn't work; she needed to first extract some useful information and then stall for time.

She then trembled and said: "Hero, we have no grudges, why are you grabbing me?!"

"No grudges? When you poisoned me, why didn't you say there were no grudges?"

Su Mo opened her eyes wide: "That's because you attacked first! I only resisted later; what fault do I have? Why are you fixated on me? Let me go, and we'll keep our waters from mixing in the future!"

"Too late!"

Su Mo's mind switched, and she started rambling: "Who are you, what's your name? Where do you come from? The jianghu values righteousness; kidnapping me against my will is not a righteous act!"

The man snorted coldly: "I'm a dying man like you; what righteousness?"

"That's your fault; you roam around, how can you ignore righteousness! You say you attacked me, does that mean I should just wait to die? I'm not wrong, so if I'm not wrong, you can't seize me! If you have the ability, come openly; what kind of sneaky attack is this…"

The noisy voice at his ear made Hei Yi Ren frown: "Shut up! Speak again, and I'll kill you on the spot!"

Hei Yi Ren's grip on her neck tightened slightly, and Su Mo promptly pleaded sensibly.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong~"

Hei Yi Ren looked at her with contempt, his eyes seeming to say, "Did you think you had any skill? It's nothing."

Su Mo's face still wore that terrified expression, but inside she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

【What are you looking at, this is strategic low‑profile! My life's first creed: only the one who endures wins! Understand nothing!】

【Strange, why haven't my several fiancés caught up yet…】

Su Mo's mind switched: "Um, I need to pee a bit, can you…"

Before she could finish, the hand gripping his waist tightened dangerously.

"Be sensible, or I can send you to meet Yama at any moment! Stop those schemes; your fiancés won't find you here! I've already blocked the pheromones on your body!"

Su Mo subconsciously sniffed her own scent and indeed detected a faint smell of powdered medicine.

【Misty herb, this damn thing really came prepared!!!】

Su Mo feigned a frightened look, swallowed her saliva, and cautiously glanced at him: "Then I'll hold it…"

Hei Yi Ren again looked at her with contempt, then let out a slight cough, leaving a faint crimson stain on his black face mask.

It seemed the powder from Su Mo earlier had taken effect.

But he merely raised his hand to wipe it away and returned to his original state.

Su Mo silently ground her teeth.

【Damn thing, more immune to poison than I am?!】

The next second, the Beastman dragged her into a cave and slammed her onto the ground!

The ferocious voice snarled: "Antidote!"

Su Mo looked at the outstretched hand and decided to play dumb: "I only study poison, I'm not good at studying antidotes…"

The man clutched her slender neck, his dark, fierce eyes fixed on her as he repeated: "Give me the antidote if you don't want to die!"

Su Mo painfully opened her eyes wide, stammering: "Y-you let go first… Speak properly!"

The man suddenly hurled her against the stone wall behind.

Su Mo's back was caught off guard and slammed into it, and the pain made her instinctively clench her teeth.

【Dog thing, better not fall into the great‑aunt's hands, or she'll have a good time!】

She trembled as she spoke, "I don't have an Antidote… but I can try to brew one for you…"

Even if the system truly had an Antidote, Su Mo wouldn't give it to him lightly.

Giving him an Antidote now doesn't guarantee he'll live until the sun rises tomorrow.

The man's blade‑sharp eyes stared at her, clearly not believing her words.

This little female is very cunning!

He took out a small knife, sliced his own finger, grabbed her, and tried to shove it into her mouth!

He has to give her the same poison as he has!

Su Mo's eyes widened in terror 【This dog thing that doesn't follow the martial code! So scheming!】

She struggled, refusing to cooperate, "Calm down first… I, I'll first find you an Antidote to try!"

The man loosened his grip, and Su Mo pulled a Detox Pill from her pocket and handed it over.

It was the Detox Pill she had previously given to Fei Yan and his group; it can't completely cure the dog thing's poison, but it can suppress some of it.

It can buy a little time, and that's all.

The man took the Pill, examined it for a moment, then gently sniffed it under his nostrils.

He was about to swallow it, but after a thought, felt uneasy.

He instead forced his finger into Su Mo's mouth, compelling her to swallow his poison‑tainted blood.

Then he shoved that Antidote into her!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Su Mo nearly choked to death.

It took her a while to recover.

The person seized her wrist, probed with internal force, and then furrowed his brow fiercely.

Such a strong medicine, yet it has little effect on her?

What kinds of poison are in her body?

Living this long without dying is already a miracle!

When he withdrew, he looked at Su Mo's face, which, though battered, seemed oddly ordinary.

Relying on Level 9 Beastmen's internal force, he instantly saw the true visage hidden beneath her plain, poison‑eaten face.
