565: C565 Someone Poisoned

C565 Someone Poisoned

The rules were simple, but they were also very crude.

Because there were no rules, it meant that people could kill each other. In addition, the words of the self-proclaimed host and observer also mentioned that there were various top-notch treasures hidden within these Floating Island, and whether or not one could find them all depended on one's luck.

This also restricted the formation of teams in another way. After all, everyone had their own selfish motives and there was no guarantee that the person who formed a team with them would stab them in the back and then take away the treasures that they obtained.

Sure enough, when these words were translated and repeated in different languages, Lee Hongtian and the others could even hear the screams coming from other islands. Clearly, the competition among the people had already begun.

Perhaps not many people would miss the chance to become a member of the Wu'en Sect, but those treasures were genuine benefits, and no one would give up their hand.

Screams could be heard from time to time. Wang Luoshaan and the others looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Lee Hongtian.

Although they did not say anything, Lee Hongtian knew that from their eyes, they were all implying the same thing: Under such circumstances, would they still want to team up with people from Luomann Country?

Lee Hongtian understood and said, "Forget it, if there's anything else, we can leave first."

Wang Luoshaan and the rest looked a little uncomfortable, but in the end, they did not say anything. Some words were good in their hearts, but once they were exposed, both sides would feel very awkward.

Immediately after, Ma Mingliang was the first to leave.

Then, it was Wang Luoshaan who smiled and cupped his fists to the crowd: "My apologies everyone, the treasures taken out by a hidden sect like Wu'en Sect are definitely not ordinary goods. I also want to go and fight for it.

"It's better not to see him." Wang Yue suddenly said. Although there was a smile on his face, everyone understood what he meant.

However, even after waiting for a long time, no one left. Lee Hongtian was a bit surprised. He looked at the three people who stayed and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you leave?"

Wang Yue first shrugged and said, "Treasures are just for luck. Plus, this is just going down the mountain to train under my master's orders. I don't really want to think too much about it. It's fine as long as it's fate."

This kind of open-minded attitude was quite to Lee Hongtian's taste. He smiled and then looked at Fatty and Miao Yue.

Fatty was a bit embarrassed as he said, "Brother Shangguan, it's a bit shameful to talk about this. I think it's safer to follow by your side."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. More people means more strength." Lee Hongtian laughed.

"Actually, we can all see that this Luomann Country leader seems to be very respectful to you. This point is something that is filled with unknowns everywhere, so being by your side is the safest." Miao Yue said.

Lee Hongtian was speechless. He didn't expect that Abe Qingchuan and him had purposely kept a distance, yet they were still discovered.

However, Wang Yue said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't ask what we shouldn't ask. We'll just treat it as a tour."

Lee Hongtian nodded and then called Abe Qingchuan and the others over to discuss what to do next.

A few people from Abe Qingchuan's side came over. Grass Pheasant Tengye, Bashen Zhenyi, Shen Le and Yu Jin, Eagles from a hundred places, and Thousand Leaves from the Department all came over. The others stayed put.

However, after they came over, Abe Qingchuan expressed that everyone in Luomann Country listened to Lee Hongtian and the rest also tacitly agreed. Only Thousandleaf, the Head of Department, looked at Lee Hongtian with a gaze filled with hatred, making Lee Hongtian a little confused.

However, Thousandleaf did not raise any objections and in the end, it became a discussion between Lee Hongtian and Wang Yue.

After an exchange of words, Lee Hongtian and the others finally decided to follow the bridges and go to the other Floating Island s. If they had to go in the direction, they would go closer to the palace on the map.

Amongst these people, no one actually knew what the earlier voice meant by "killing array" meant. However, from how Floating Island had previously hidden mechanisms that had triggered the construction of bridges, it seemed like if Wu'en Sect wanted to kill them all, it would be a piece of cake. No one wanted to die.

After the decision was made, Lee Hongtian led the team and they set off.

The first island they went to had three vertical lines on the map, which they had assumed to be the place where the water came from.

As expected, after they had landed on the island, they very quickly discovered a clear spring in the middle of the island. Among them, a few ninjas with Luomann Country couldn't help but rush over to drink a few mouthfuls.

However, when Tang Yiyi saw this situation, she suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

The moment the voice was heard, Lee Hongtian's expression changed drastically. He quickly shouted out in Luo Man's language: "Don't move!"2

However, it was already too late. Even though those who had fallen to the ground had all stopped after hearing his shout, four people still managed to drink the water from the pool.

"What's wrong?" Abe Qingchuan asked with a puzzled expression.

Lee Hongtian didn't know what was going on either, but Tang Yiyi was after all, a descendant of the Tang Sect, and a poison master. He let out such an anxious cry, so there must be something wrong with the water.

Sure enough, although Tang Yiyi couldn't understand Luo Manchu, he could see the confusion on Abe Qingchuan's face. He immediately said to Lee Hongtian, "This water is poisonous."

"Poisonous?" Lee Hongtian frowned and translated the words to Abe Qingchuan.

Abe Qingchuan also frowned and sent people to check on the situation of the four people.

But very quickly, nothing happened when the four people reported back.

Lee Hongtian was puzzled, "Fatty, are you wrong?"

However, Tang Yiyi firmly shook her head and said, "Impossible, the surrounding air is filled with an extremely faint fragrance. If I'm not wrong, it should be the fragrance of the Soul-Sealing Grass. The moment you smell it, your life would be locked on."

"Fuck?" Then why are we fine if we smell it too? What does it have to do with water? " Lee Hongtian sniffed and indeed found some faint fragrance in the air. This kind of fragrance was extremely faint. If one didn't smell it intentionally, it was impossible to find it.

However, this thing is usually used in conjunction with another kind of colorless and tasteless medicinal juice. This kind of medicinal juice itself is not poisonous, but when the two are mixed together, it can cause one's death. I suspect that the water has been mixed with this medicinal juice, because the current fragrance is the smell of the Soul-Sealing Grass after it has dried up, which proves that this is not because there's a Soul-Sealing Grass growing around here, but because someone intentionally scattered it here.

Lee Hongtian's face darkened. He believed in Fatty's judgement. After all, Fatty was an expert in poisons. Lee Hongtian had also heard from Pu Yu that some medicines were not poisonous, but when mixed together, they became the best poison.
