The Cold King and his consort, along with Butler Liang, felt pity for the old woman after hearing her past. However, her past was no excuse for her wickedness.
"Even if your past was truly tragic, you shouldn't harm others!" Leng Ruoli said with a stern expression.
"What do you know, you little brat? You'll never understand the suffering I've endured in my life," the old woman suddenly yelled at Leng Ruoli.
With that, she began to shake her cane violently. Immediately, the red bead on the tip of the cane spun rapidly. Vines on the cave wall quickly covered the entrance, then began to crawl towards the Cold King and his consort and Butler Liang.
The Cold King and his consort turned around and saw this. They kicked the chariot beside them, and the vines quickly wrapped around it.
Later, the vines seemed to realize they had entangled the wrong object. They immediately released the chariot and sped up their crawl towards the direction of living beings. In the blink of an eye, these vines had entwined the Cold King and his consort and Butler Liang, dragging them into mid-air.
The more the three struggled, the tighter the vines bound them.
"Hahaha!"
"Do you think my killer vines are so easily fooled? Today, you all shall die!"
Seeing the scene before her, the old woman was immensely pleased. She glared fiercely at the Cold King and his consort, wishing she could devour them.
As long as she could kill the descendants of her twin sister today, her life, having reached this age, would be considered worthwhile.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated the abilities of Jun Mohan and Leng Ruoli. They had discovered the characteristics of these vines long ago and immediately stopped struggling.
Leng Ruoli quickly retrieved several daggers from her spatial dimension and threw them to Jun Mohan and Butler Liang. The three drew their daggers and attempted to cut through the vines with all their might, but they soon discovered how tough the vines were, making them impossible to cut easily. Moreover, they couldn't break free with their inner energy.
At this moment, a sharp glint flashed across Leng Ruoli's beautiful apricot-shaped eyes. She seemed to have thought of a way to deal with the vines.
Thus, she immediately took out two bottles of alcohol from her spatial dimension and hurled them at the cave wall where the vines grew. Then, she struck a lighter and threw it at the cave wall. Instantly, the vines on the cave wall erupted in a raging inferno. As the vines feared fire, they quickly released the three.
However, as soon as the three landed, the old woman pointed at Leng Ruoli and cursed angrily, "You little brat, how dare you destroy my killer vines that I've cultivated for decades? I will kill you all."
As she spoke, she raised her cane and shot several poisonous needles at Leng Ruoli. As expected, Leng Ruoli dodged them.
The old woman's expression gradually darkened, and she felt immensely frustrated. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Meanwhile, Ju Jianxing had already found a hidden spot to hide, with no intention of helping the old woman deal with the Cold King and his consort and Butler Liang.
However, the old woman's martial arts were not strong. She could only rely on the poisonous creatures and mechanisms within her cave to deal with the three before her.
Just then, the old woman gently patted the snake head on her cane. Then, she cupped the cane in her hands. The bottom of the cane opened a small slit, and from it flew a swarm of small black insects, the size of flies, towards the Cold King and his consort and Butler Liang.
But Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan, having seen more disgusting insects than these before, laughed when they saw these small flying insects.
Compared to the蛊 (gǔ) worms raised by the Poisonous Granny, these flying insects of the old woman were nothing more than a minor issue.
Leng Ruoli quickly took out three white towels from her sleeves, which she had soaked in sugar water in her spatial dimension. She handed one each to Jun Mohan and Butler Liang. Then, she took out a small bottle and poured out three detoxification pills. The three each took one.
Next...
The three each held a white towel soaked in sugar water and struck at the small black insects. Within a few moves, they managed to lure the small black insects onto the white towels.
Then, Leng Ruoli took out her lighter again and burned the three towels covered with the small black insects.
"Heh heh, old woman, what other tricks do you have? Bring them on! We'll play with you," Leng Ruoli grinned at the old woman, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
"You, you people are truly hateful! You've killed my treasures again."
Leng Ruoli's words angered the old woman so much that her chest trembled.
However, her face quickly regained its composure. A cold smile flashed in her cloudy eyes.
Then, she immediately turned around and walked to the stone chair behind her, sitting down. She gently twisted the armrest of the stone chair, and dense, countless sharp arrows shot out from the stone cave wall towards the Cold King and his consort and Butler Liang.
The three dodged incessantly, repeatedly evading the sharp arrows.
"Jun Mohan, Butler Liang, these arrows are coated with potent poison. Be extremely careful," Leng Ruoli whispered as a warning.
But just as she was warning them, another batch of poisonous arrows, more numerous than the previous ones, shot out from the stone cave wall towards the three. The Cold King and his consort dodged them again, but Butler Liang was not so lucky.
Because of his advanced age and exhaustion from the previous ordeal, he was already at his limit. Now, with another volley of poisonous arrows shooting out from the cave, his body could no longer withstand it. After barely dodging one batch of poisonous arrows, he was quickly hit. A poisonous arrow pierced his left arm.
Within seconds, his arm rapidly turned purple, causing Butler Liang to grit his teeth in pain.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, quickly chop off this old servant's hand! The poison in the arrows is spreading," Butler Liang shouted to the Cold King and his consort.
Hearing this, the Cold King and his consort hurried to Butler Liang's side. Leng Ruoli quickly took a detoxification pill from her sleeve and gave it to Butler Liang to swallow.
"Butler Liang, I can cure this arrow poison. There's no need to chop off your hand. Just bear with it, and I'll detoxify you!" Leng Ruoli comforted him.
Immediately, she took out a pair of thin gloves, put them on, and some simple medical tools. Regardless of what the old woman in the cave or Ju Jianxing hiding in the corner might think of her taking out these strange items, she immediately helped Butler Liang remove the poisonous arrow.
Next, Leng Ruoli drained the poisoned blood from Butler Liang's arm. She then picked two leaves of a rare divine detoxification medicine from her spatial grass field. She placed one leaf in Butler Liang's mouth for him to eat, and mashed the other leaf to apply to Butler Liang's wound.
Not long after, Butler Liang's arm quickly regained its normal rosy color. Leng Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stopped the bleeding and bandaged his wound.
Jun Mohan stood beside them, blocking any danger for Leng Ruoli and Butler Liang.
However, the old woman's jaw dropped in astonishment as she watched Leng Ruoli's method of saving people.
