Chapter 79

Mo Xiao and Yue Ying did not rush to look for Fei Yan and the others, but instead came to the village's Hou Shan.

At this moment, Su Mo had just finished a walk and returned to the room, while Xiao Jiu was describing the internal defensive layout to her.

Su Mo frowned and said, "According to you, the usable people here aren't many, but it's very likely he has hidden troops elsewhere. Once fighting starts, at the crucial moment, those people will ambush from the rear, increasing his chances of victory!"

Xiao Jiu: "Never mind all that; as long as the host escapes amid the chaos tomorrow night, that's enough!"

Su Mo frowned: "No need to wait until tomorrow; do it today!"

This dump, staying an extra day adds an extra day of risk.

Nowadays, Jin Tong's enemies have come knocking again; they are surely looking for a chance to attack.

She just needs to seize this opportunity and let them fight like dogs!

Then there will definitely be a chance to escape!

Xiao Jiu exclaimed: "Tonight, tonight?!"

Su Mo raised her eyebrows and said, "In a while, when they change shifts and have their midnight snack, we'll poison them!"

Xiao Jiu anxiously said, "If I had known, we would have just waited a bit to go out… we can't keep telling outsiders we need to use the latrine; going out too often easily raises suspicion~"

Before Su Mo could say anything, she heard a rustling sound outside.

"That Xiao Yu, I'll take over for you; go rest."

"It's fine if the time isn't up; I don't mind waiting a bit, you go!"

After the handover, that person leaned against the door and shouted, "Miss Su! What exactly is that secret recipe you mentioned?"

Su Mo quietly took a vial of hallucinogen and a packet of kitchen seasoning from the System Space.

With a flick of her fingertip, the little Beastmen outside instantly had their eyes glaze over.

This system thing is still somewhat useful; at least dealing with these low-level Beastmen poses no problem.

Su Mo then placed the packet of seasoning in his hand and softly coaxed, "Secretly put this into the cook's pot, remember to avoid the crowd and tell no one~"

The dazed Beastman nodded, took the items, and left.

After he left, Su Mo quietly produced the universal key exchanged from the System Space and opened the outside lock.

However, she did not rush to escape; she still needed to wait a bit longer.

At Hou Shan, Mo Xiao had already swiftly appeared where Fei Yan was, and Ye Yuan immediately had Lord Jian Yi gather the personnel.

"The defenses inside, the Wife Master has roughly surveyed; she has prepared to poison the soldiers inside."

Fei Yan frowned: "That Hei Yi Ren is also versed in pharmacology; our best opportunity is before he notices."

Mo Xiao nodded: "Our goal is merely to rescue the Wife Master; afterward, we'll leave the aftermath to the Tiger Clan commanders. We'll act as the situation demands."

After discussing, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan went ahead first, leaving Ye Yuan in place to wait for Lord Jian Yi and the East Sea troops.

At this moment, Su Mo and Xiao Jiu, faces tense, leaned against the window to watch the outside situation.

Su Mo held a packet of Confusing Drug and a packet of Poison in her hand.

Xiao Jiu anxiously said: "Why haven't they served the midnight snack yet?"

"It should be soon..."

Su Mo felt a bit anxious.

Soon a shout came from outside: "The midnight snack is out!"

Su Mo's brows knit tightly as she clenched her fists.

Seeing the two waves of Beastmen about to change shifts, queued up to receive their midnight snack, she felt relieved.

She added two kinds of medicine inside: one causes diarrhea, the other is based on the Beast Binding Pill previously found in Mo Xiao's body. The former will take effect first, disturbing morale.

As for the latter, the dosage is light, only temporarily binding their combat strength for a short time.

Su Mo now only waits for the drugs to take effect, for the outsiders to attack amid the chaos, then she can seize the chance to flee.

But what she didn't expect was that, just as those people finished their midnight snack, a commotion arose outside.

Only hearing someone outside report to the night-shift chief: "Sir, the Tiger Tribe Tribe people are coming this way with others!"

Upon hearing that, he threw his bowl and chopsticks aside and angrily shouted: "Cheer up! Grab your bows and follow me to the wall!"

Su Mo glanced from the window, frowned, and saw that one-third of the Beastmen had not finished their midnight snack.

【These impatient Tiger Clan folks, what difference would waiting five more minutes make?】

【If this miss dies here, even if she goes to the King of Hell's hall, I'll drag them down with her!】

Outside.

Mo Xiao and Fei Yan hid in the dark, watching the dark arrows shot at the Tiger Clan from the wall, about to go find Yue Ying.

But they saw him already coming from Hou Shan: "The Wife Master's medicine has only been given to two-thirds. The Tiger Clan people arrived too early, and some Beastmen haven't finished eating!"

Fei Yan furrowed his brows: "No problem, the Tiger Clan has many people, and Ye Yuan's side also has plenty; it's enough."

He glanced at Ye Yuan behind him and told Mo Xiao: "Let Ye Yuan take some men to launch a surprise attack on Hou Shan."

The remainder will stay up front, ready at any moment to lend the Tiger Clan a hand!

At this moment, Jin Tong already knew the outside situation.

He had already dressed and come onto the city wall.

Lowering his gaze, he looked afar at the people below and instantly spotted the young master of the Tiger Clan Tribe Chief.

He saw him holding a long zither, dressed in a plain, spotless long robe, standing cold and aloof outside the crowd, out of place among the surrounding Tiger Clan warriors flushed with rage; his head full of silver hair, beautiful as a demon or a devil.

Zuo Xuan had already drawn his bow, aiming at him, ready to shoot him dead with one arrow!

After all, this person is also on the Gate Master's death list!

Sooner or later he must die!

Since he himself delivered himself today, we might as well finish him off!

"Whoosh"—the poisoned arrow flew out.

But… halfway, I was knocked down by a powerful gust of palm wind!

Jin Tong narrowed his eyes and said gravely, "Give me the bow and arrows!"

Just as they were about to draw the bow, someone behind hurriedly reported, "Gate Master, someone is ambushing from behind! It seems… it's those several fiancés of Su Mo!"

Jin Tong knit his brows: "What about that woman? Bring her to my side!"

"Yes, I'm on my way…" The person hadn't finished speaking when pain flashed across his face.

"Gate Master, I think I've got a stomach upset!"

Soon, the other soldiers on the city wall also began to suffer from upset stomachs, scattered and intermittent.

Jin Tong's doubts rose in his heart, but the present situation wouldn't let him think any further.

"You bunch of useless ones, Zuo Xuan, go quickly and bring that woman to my side!"

At this moment, Su Mo had already dealt with the people at the gate and slipped away quietly, umbrella in hand.

The Beastmen soldiers she encountered along the way were all knocked down by the poison she laid.

The remaining portion was battling Ye Yuan, who was launching the rear ambush.

Su Mo arrived at the spot she had previously marked—a pile of firewood—picked the right foothold and strained to climb out!

When Zuo Xuan swooped over, he saw that the woman was already nearly two‑thirds up the wall; one more step and she could escape smoothly!

His eyes darkened; indeed, she was cunning!

He rushed over, about to seize her!

"Ding"—

Su Mo's mind suddenly echoed Xiao Jiu's voice: "Host, be careful!"

Su Mo didn't have time to think further; she instinctively turned and scattered medicine powder!
