Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 17: Poisonous Gas Drifting

Red Sand City was a small city with a population of tens of thousands in total.

Linley’s group of people left the building ship and set off directly for the county town of Chill, and when they traveled to Red Sand City they stopped here to prepare for lunch.

In the hotel’s second floor box, Jenny and Keane all had a hint of an excited smile on their faces.

“Haha, we’ll be arriving at Chil County City this evening, so we’ll probably have less trouble in the future.”

Keane said cheerfully.

Jenny also nodded and said, “When we arrive at Chil County City, the eldest mother, she won’t dare to blatantly lay her hands on us, right?”

“Jenny, Keane, it’s not as simple as you think.”

Linley smiled faintly, “When we arrive at Chil County City, it may instead be even more dangerous. The damsel you all refer to is not as timid and fearful as you think.”

It was terrifying when a woman was poisonous.

In his three years in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley could have encountered all sorts of sinister and ruthless people. Jenny, their eldest mother, was perfectly capable of killing Keane in the county town of Chiltern and not even being able to implicate her.

“Really?”

Keane was a bit fearful, after all, he was only a fourteen year old.

Linley smiled and said, “Don’t think so much. We’re not in a hurry to go to Chill County City this afternoon, so we’ll first rest well in Red Sand City. Wait until tomorrow morning before we set off.”

“Tomorrow morning?”

Jenny and Keane all looked at Linley.

“If my prediction is correct, your damsel’s men at that riverbank pier should have found out that we’re docking from one of the upstream piers. They should have calculated that we would arrive at the county town of Chill this evening. So …… a group of them will, in all probability, be waiting for us there this evening.”

These were simple calculations that Linley had easily judged.

One only needed to think about things from the other party’s perspective. It would be easy to lead the other party by the nose.

“Let’s build up our strength and leave first thing in the morning.”

Linley laughed, “Let’s not rush now, enjoy this lunch.”

Jenny and Keane also had a small smile on their faces. …… Unsurprisingly for Linley, the Holmer Apothecary and a group of other people did indeed arrive directly at Chil County City, and the group of Mrs. Weed in Chil County City had also gotten the news earlier.

On the castle tower of Chill County City.

Mrs. Weide was holding onto the city wall, looking out of the city. Behind her was none other than her two brothers, and Apothecary Holmer. As for the county guards, they all flashed away from a distance.

“Mr. Holmer, I’ll trouble you to wait here a little longer tonight.”

Mrs. Weed turned her head to look at Holmer and said with a smile.

Apothecary Holmer was still self-aware.

He himself was not very strong. Strong was strong in using poison. He naturally didn’t want to offend the substantial city lord of Chill County City in front of him, who was known for his ruthlessness.

“Please rest assured, Mrs. Weed, that sibling will never set foot in Chil County City alive.”

Holmer said confidently. “Even if they have a ninth level powerhouse protecting them, humph. As long as that ninth level powerhouse hasn’t reached the Holy Realm realm, I’m sure I can deal with him. Of course …… provided that he doesn’t recognize me.”

A ninth level powerhouse who recognized him would be easily shielded from the poison by forming a fighting aura shield around his body surface.

“Apothecary Holmer you have been staying in my Chill County City for so many years, but you don’t show your face. How many people can there be who know you? Moreover, I heard that Apothecary Holmer, you still have the ability to change your appearance?”

Mrs. Weed looked at Holmer with a smile.

Holmer smiled to himself. Stroking his beard, he said, “Haha. Mrs. Weed, change appearance? It’s not as exaggerated as you say, ma’am. Just use some drugs, change the face color, change the hair color. Slightly embellished …… even by acquaintances. As long as they don’t look closely, they won’t be able to recognize it.”

Mrs. Weed smiled and nodded, “Then everything, it depends on you, Mr. Holmer, I will be within the hotel on the ground over there tonight, waiting quietly for your good news, Mr. Holmer.”

Holmer smiled confidently. …… But as the time passed, Mrs. Weed in the hotel in the land closest to the city gates was a little puzzled, because in a little while it would be time for the city gates to close.

The rules of Chiltern County City, to ten o’clock in the evening on time to close.

However, Jenny and Keane’s group of people had not yet arrived, and according to her information, Jenny’s group of people arrived at Red Sand City at noon. Just as slow, they should have arrived.

Ten o’clock arrived.

That huge city gate slowly closed on under the combined efforts of many city guards, and Holmer Apothecary, who had been carefully preparing, walked down the city wall with a belly full of indignation, while Mrs. Weed also walked out of the hotel.

“Mrs. Wyrd, what’s going on here?”

Holmer was genuinely a little annoyed.

After getting the news today, he had traveled a hundred miles in one breath from the riverbank crossing, directly to the county town of Chil. It was a bumpy ride, and for the three-hundred year old Holmer it was indeed a suffering experience.

And then he spent the night on the city wall, blowing in the cold wind.

Now the city gates were closed. The opposition didn’t come.

“That group of people don’t know what’s going on, and I’m afraid they’ve stopped at Red Sand City. Mr. Holmer, you should rest quietly at this hotel today and wait until tomorrow.”

Mrs. Wilder was not in a good mood either.

“It will have to do.”

Holmer’s heart was full of unfairness. …… Early the next morning, when the city gates had just opened, Holmer began to wait quietly. When waiting until nine o’clock in the morning, Holmo was really on fire.

Holmer directly rushed down the city wall and entered the second floor of the hotel.

“Mrs. Weed, if they don’t come over, I’ll go straight over.”

Holmer said directly, “You send a few people to me, at least let these few people recognize the sibling duo.”

Mrs. Weed also agreed with this idea, “Well then, I’ll trouble you sir to make another trip.”

“This time, make sure to give them a taste of my power.”

Holmer said in a low voice, killing intent also bursting from his eyes.

Having purchased a carriage in Red Sand City, the old servant Lambert drove the carriage while the siblings Jenny and Keane stayed inside. As for Linley, he was riding the black-striped clouded leopard ‘Blackru’.

Blackru was a full two meters tall, and that body was wide enough and its fur was silky enough.

Linley rode this black patterned clouded leopard, not feeling any vibrations at all, much more comfortable than riding a horse or carriage. And I’m afraid that the Black Striped Cloud Leopard was just running through the mountains as if it was walking on the ground.

“Big brother Lei. What time is it now?”

Keane popped his head out of the carriage and inquired.

Linley turned his head and glanced at him, “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s only ten o’clock now, we’re estimated to arrive at Chill County City at eleven.”

The black-striped clouded leopard that Linley was sitting on was indeed appalling.

The other pedestrians on the road, seeing Linley’s line of people, had long ago shied away to make way for them.

“Giddyup, giddyup.”

The sound of horses’ hooves came from the distance, and in just a moment, three knights appeared, but when these three knights saw Linley, they stopped in terror.

“What a brawny panther.”

One of the knights marveled as he looked at the Black Ru that Linley was sitting on.

“Stop looking, let’s go.”

The other knight urged.

And at this time. From the back there traveled over a steed, and on the back of this steed sat a kindly hunchbacked old man with white hair. The old man rode the horse at a slow, ticking speed.

“Haha. Look at this old man, still riding a horse, haha ……”

One of the knights laughed out loud.

“Let’s go, there are still important things to do.”

The three knights talked and laughed and continued on their way, while the hunchbacked old man looked up at Linley’s group of people, which the hunchbacked old man understood in his heart.

Keane, who had seen this scene from the car window, said in dissatisfaction only after the three knights had left.

Linley, however, frowned at the hunchbacked old man in front of him.

The hunchbacked old man riding a horse was indeed worrying. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was old, and although the horse wasn’t fast, the hunchbacked old man was still swaying on the horse, as if he might fall off at any moment. The legs are not tightly clamped.

At this time, a caravan also appeared from behind the hunchbacked old man.

“Get lost, old man.”

A knight shouted and cursed, and that hunchbacked old man immediately carried the reins of his horse, and that horse also headed towards the road.

“Ouch.”

When the horse traveled to a distance of roughly a dozen meters away from Linley’s group, the hunchbacked old man directly lurched and fell down towards the horse.

“Old grandpa fell down.”

Keane, who had seen this scene through the window, immediately pulled open the curtain of the carriage door.

However, as the hunchbacked old man fell off the horse, a light greenish-colored air current spread out from the hunchbacked old man’s body, and this light greenish-colored was extremely ‘light’, so light that it was difficult to notice without paying attention.

It just so happened that the wind was from the east at the moment, directly blowing this airflow to Lin Lei’s group of people, of course, the first to breathe in this breath was the caravan that had just traveled from the rear.

“Puff.”

Very simply, surprisingly, one after another, one knight after another fell down from their horses, black blood seeping out of their mouths and noses.

“En?”

Linley also felt a pang of something wrong within his body, and his head was dizzy for a moment.

“Not good, poisonous.”

Linley sensed the surrounding wind elements, and it was obvious that a light greenish-colored poisonous gas was drifting over, and Linley had already breathed in two mouthfuls of it at the moment.

The dragonblood warrior bloodline stirred within Linley’s body, and then that poisonous gas was actually directly absorbed, not harming Linley in the slightest.

This poisonous gas was a poisonous gas that had been specially refined by Holmer for the structure of the human body.

But Holmer couldn’t have imagined that Linley was actually very different from a normal person, his bloodline contained the ‘Dragonblood Warrior bloodline’, which was a bloodline that was many times more noble than the bloodline of a magical beast. In the beginning, even the Spineback Iron Armored Dragon’s magic crystal core was refined by this trace of Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline.

The four ultimate warriors were so special that ordinary people couldn’t even imagine it.

This kind of poisonous gas couldn’t hurt a dragon blood warrior at all.

“Wind.”

With his wind magician’s control of the wind, Linley immediately controlled the surrounding wind to blow over in the opposite direction, and the original stream of poisonous gas immediately blew towards the east again. And at this moment, the caravan sandwiched between Linley’s side and the hunchbacked old man ‘Holmer’s’ side had died out in the blink of an eye.

The poisonous gas drifted towards Holmer, but Holmer didn’t dodge it, he hadn’t been afraid of this poison for a long time. He wasn’t afraid of the poison, but he was afraid of Linley.

“Hyah, hyah.”

Hormo was flexible at the moment, a flip directly onto the horse. And then directly darted towards the east at fire speed.

“Heilu.”

Linley said in a cold voice.

“Whoosh…”

The speed of the Black Striped Cloud Leopard was terrifying, it was unknown how much faster than a normal steed.

In just the blink of an eye, it rushed over a distance of several hundred meters, instead rushing in front of Holmo, only leaving a trail of residual shadows halfway across.

When Holmo saw Linley suddenly appear in front of him, he instantly panicked.

“This brother, I’m also being paid. As long as you let me off the hook, feel free to say how many gold coins you want.”

Although Holmer was over three hundred years old, he didn’t want to die yet.

Linley was also a little frightened when he remembered that scene just now.

Luckily, he reacted quickly and snatched the poisonous gas before it drifted to the carriage and blew it back in the opposite direction.

“Poisonous gas? Are you a necromancer?”

Linley inquired as he looked at this Holmer.

“Undead magician?”

Holmer was stunned and shook his head, “No, I’m a pharmacist, this brother, I have quite a bit of money, ten thousand gold coins? Twenty thousand gold coins? How about a hundred thousand gold coins?”

At this point in time, Holmer still wanted to save money.

Linley, however, was too lazy to pay attention to this person.

“Heilu, settle him.”

Linley jumped down and turned towards the carriage. As for the black-striped clouded leopard, it bared its fangs before directly charging at Holmer with a flying lunge.

“Ah, one million, one thousand …… ah–”

Before Holmo could finish shouting, he was clawed to pieces by the Black Striped Cloud Leopard.
