Chapter 71: The Mermaid's Strongest Heart‑Protecting Scale

Hei Yi Ren's sharp eyes stared tightly at Su Mo before him.

The plain face before him overlapped infinitely with the one in his mind.

He hadn't expected that she was indeed a genuine calamity!

So those who were so devoted to her did so because they had seen her true form untouched by Poison?

Sure enough, they are a bunch of shallow beings!

Su Mo only felt that the person opposite seemed ready to crush her.

She frowned and struggled, "Lo— loosen!"

The man suddenly shoved her aside, and Su Mo again unexpectedly slammed into the stone wall.

Angered, she cursed the dog thing in front of her fiercely in her heart.

The man twisted his brow and said, "Antidote!"

Su Mo pulled a dose from her waist and tossed it over!

The man caught it perfectly, and after swallowing, the spreading drug effect eased slightly, though the Poison had not been fully subdued.

But that's fine; he can let her slowly study the antidote method later.

Now she is isolated and helpless, so she likely dares not play tricks lightly.

In no time, his two subordinates chased after.

Those two, upon seeing Su Mo, felt their teeth itch with hatred; the last time they were poisoned by her in the Dragon Clan, they struggled for half a life before recovering.

Truly don't know why Gate Master insists on keeping her alive; a single slash would have finished her off!

Su Mo silently assessed the two; both bore wounds, seeming that Yue Ying hadn't granted them any favor.

Thus, she felt relieved.

Su Mo was now certain that this person didn't intend to kill her for now.

From now on, just stall until Fei Yan, Mo Xiao and the others arrive.

Hei Yi Ren's sharp glance flicked toward Su Mo, and coldly ordered the others, "Tie up her hands and take her back!"

Su Mo widened her eyes, "N—no need, right? I'm a frail little woman without the strength to bind a chicken, I wouldn't…"

You cunning one!

If they bind her hands, she truly can't leave any information for those guys!

Hei Yi Ren impatiently glared, "Noisy! Speak again and I'll cut off your hands directly!"

Su Mo, understanding the situation, closed her mouth 【He who knows the times is a hero; this lady can bend and stretch…】

At that moment.

Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Yue Ying had already gathered.

Mo Xiao frowned, "The pheromones on Wife Master only go this far; from now on we must split up."

Fei Yan nodded, "Hmm."

Yue Ying waved his fan aimlessly, worried, "I have no idea how Wife Master is now; the last two encounters that dog thing didn't get a good result, I'm truly afraid he'll seize a chance to retaliate!"

Fei Yan frowned, "Wife Master's mind is sharp; her Poison isn't weak, she'll definitely look for a chance to escape. While searching along the way, be meticulous and miss no detail."

Yue Ying nodded, "Immediately split up! If you have clues, contact promptly!"

Su Mo, blindfolded, didn't know where those people intended to take her.

It seemed they passed through a stretch of forest and now took a water route?

【Truly a cunning dog thing, the route switch was way too fast! This makes it even more troublesome for Mo Xiao and the others to chase.】

"Xiao Jiu?"

Su Mo tried to call Xiao Jiu in her mind.

A voice of electromagnetic interference came in her mind, as if the signal was jammed.

Two minutes later, Xiao Jiu's intermittent voice came, "Host, I... am here!"

Su Mo asked silently, "Why do you look so ravaged?"

"Ah~ no! It's, there's a magnetic field around you interfering with me!"

Su Mo frowned, "This place doesn't even have a signal tower, how could it interfere with you?"

She thought and felt something was off.

"Could it be that Hei Yi Ren is interfering with you?!"

Xiao Jiu: "I... now... am not sure yet!"

"Can you think of a way to remove the shielding powder on my body?"

"No, that Level 9 Beastmen has a keen sense of smell. If we act rashly now, I fear he'll develop murderous intent toward you."

Su Mo sighed, "Is that broken Poison Bag of yours even working? It didn't poison him? I think your system really should retire!"

Xiao Jiu sighed, "This was also unexpected for this system! It's hard to imagine that a Beastmen without a system has such deep power. It seems your opponent, Host, is truly terrifyingly strong~"

"So what now? As my strongest support, you must think of a way to save me, right???"

Xiao Jiu: "Uh~ sorry, Host, Xiao Jiu hasn't thought of a good method yet…"

Su Mo roared in her mind, "What use are you! What use are you!"

Xiao Jiu: "Host, don't panic; I haven't detected any strong dangerous factor near you yet. He probably doesn't intend to kill you yet, you can survive a few more days~"

Su Mo, angry, "Is it a rumor?!!!"

"Relax~ stall for a few days. Your several fiancés should be able to find you~"

"What if they can't find me?"

Xiao Jiu, resolutely, "Then replace them! There are plenty of Beast Husbands, of course we pick the clever and capable ones!!!"

"Then are you sure I can leave alive?"

"Uh… this question is a bit complicated—this system cannot answer it for now!"

"You!"

Su Mo for a moment didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.

This Dog System is really unreliable!

"Can you help me leave a token for them?"

Xiao Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I am just a system; I cannot get close to obtain anything from the host's body. Our interactions can only occur through System Space."

Su Mo frowned, meaning that only items from System Space can be used to leave a token.

Drug powder definitely won't work; that Hei Yi Ren knows pharmacology, and once it's scattered he will know.

If we anger him, we might truly risk our lives!

Su Mo thought and said to Xiao Jiu, "You take some kitchen items I previously exchanged and silently toss them down."

"Alright, host!"

Xiao Jiu fiddled in the space, grabbed some bottles and jars, and also found a large fish scale in the System Laboratory.

"Host, this is the mermaid's strongest heart‑protecting scale!"

Su Mo frowned and glanced, "That was a gift Ye Yuan gave me before; what's the matter?"

"What a good thing! The strongest scale on the Little Prince Mermaid! Throw this into the sea, and I'm sure he'll sense it soon. Then, by chance, the vines will find the melon, and naturally you'll be able to locate his position! You are now in the East Sea!"

Su Mo heard that and got excited: "Alright, alright, throw it quickly!"

Xiao Jiu: "I still need to leave a little mark."

After preparing it, it tossed the scale together with a kitchen seasoning down!

Xiao Jiu: "Later along the way, I will continuously throw things from the space; hopefully they can find their way here quickly~"

Su Mo silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart; she thought her few fiancés shouldn't be too stupid, and from now on she only needs to stall for time.

Soon, Su Mo was taken by them to a desolate, uninhabited village.

She vaguely heard the people around her call the Hei Yi Ren "Gate Master".

Then she was thrown into a room.

The man ripped off the cloth over her head, and Su Mo opened her eyes to meet a pair of vicious gazes.

The next second, the man forcefully pinched her chin!

His phoenix eyes slightly lifted, the narrow eye tails glinting as if laced with poison, stared at her.

In the instant his eyes narrowed, a dark ferocity flashed in his pupils, and his voice that came out was so grim it sent chills down the spine: "I regret it; right now I really want to kill you!"

Su Mo only felt the hand gripping her jaw tighten continuously, and in the next instant it moved to her throat!
