Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 318 What are you going to do?
"What? Ahem..." The Mad Knife Goddess wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked suspiciously, "What is the Great Xuan Prince?"
"Don't play dumb," Huo Anu shouted, "Don't say you don't know about that big ship outside!"
"Which ship?" The Mad Knife Witch showed a strange expression, "What outside? Outside the island?"
" You..." Huo Anu waved his iron umbrella and tried to hit him.
"Wait, wait..." said the Mad Knife Witch, "Are those dancers and dancing women from the palace? No wonder... they are all so beautiful!"
"Our patience is limited," Huo Anu threatened, "If you don't tell me, I'll make a hole in your leg!"
"Anu."
At this time, Xu Zun called out to Huo Anu, then took out another handkerchief and asked her to cover her mouth and nose with it so that she could inhale as little poison gas as possible.
Seeing this, Han Feier also took out his handkerchief and did the same.
"I remember now," said the Mad Knife Witch, "about two months ago, a group of people came in from outside by boat. There were soldiers, eunuchs, dancers, and band members...
"You... can't be?" Mad Knife Witch was surprised, "Could it be... they are related to the Great Xuan Crown Prince? Why did the Great Xuan Crown Prince... come to the East Sea?"
"You really don't know?" Xu Zun carefully observed the subtle expressions of the Crazy Knife Witch. This time, he did not catch any intention of lying.
"I really don't know," the Crazy Knife Witch defended, "You also know that as soon as a man comes in, he will lose himself and fall into desire .
“As for women… only those with some skills can stay awake, but those women are ordinary people, so they quickly forget who they are.
"In the past, there have been some people who have suffered shipwrecks coming in here. We are used to it! We know that it is useless to ask them about their background.
"As for... the big ship you're talking about," said the Mad Knife Witch, " we haven't been out for almost half a year, so how would we know?"
"I haven't been out for half a year," Han Feier asked, "What do you eat?"
"You are telling lies with your eyes open," Huo Anu shouted, "Those people in the hall are eating fresh seafood. If you don't go out, where can you catch seafood?"
“This…” the Mad Knife Goddess said hurriedly, “There is enough seafood in this bay for us to catch and eat. Here… here there are people who are specifically responsible for the food.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the kitchen warehouse and see that it is full of food. The only thing missing from the entire island is vegetables..."
"Those soldiers..." Xu Zun thought for a moment and asked, "How many of them are there? Where are they?"
"There are only a few left," said the Mad Knife Witch, "After they came, they all fell into their own desires, and these people could not go to the ring, nor could they rob women, so in the end they could only satisfy their greed and go to the back hall to gamble.
"It wasn't long before I started gambling and started gambling with my life, so... there isn't much left..."
The Crazy Knife Witch said it simply, but it sounded extremely terrifying to Xu Zun's ears.
He remembered a sentence he had heard before: the end of desire is death!
However, Xu Zun was not worried about these, but was worried that among those who died from gambling, was there Prince Li Xun?
The Crazy Knife Witch obviously couldn't give Xu Zun an answer, so if Xu Zun wanted to know the situation, he could only wait for Shen Xingran to regain his sanity.
If we want Shen Xingran to regain his sanity, we have to take him out of here.
So, everything is back to square one again. How should they get out?
"Tell me," Xu Zun asked the Crazy Knife Goddess anxiously, "Do you have any way to get us out safely?"
"There is a cave behind the palace," said the Crazy Knife Witch, "You can follow the cave to the other side of the island."
"No," Xu Zun walked towards the main hall, "We still have people there. We have to take them with us!"
"Then..." The Crazy Knife Witch shook her head, "I can't do anything. I don't have the antidote, and I can't break the rules here, so... it's useless even if you kill me!"
"It seems..." Huo Anu said, "We can only continue to set fires?"
"Setting fire will lure Wang Dian out," the Mad Knife Witch said with fear on her face, "Are you sure you want to do that?
"Also, fire can't cure poison. If a big fire really starts, those people won't leave and will be burned to death!"
Oh no!
Hearing this, Xu Zun remembered another thing and his heart skipped a beat.
If the Crazy Knife Witch didn't lie and the sea fog was poison gas, then doesn't that mean... there will also be problems on my own warship...?
Will Xiao Zhennan, Zhao Yu and others also be swallowed by desire?
If that's the case, wouldn't I be left alone and helpless?
broken!
Let’s not talk about Wang Dian and those first-rate warriors for now. Even if he could take Annie and Shen Xingran back, it would be difficult to escape from this island.
Desire...is really the most terrifying weapon!
"I can't care about so much anymore," Huo Anu seemed to have gradually drifted away and said to Xu Zun, "We have to give it a try, right? Otherwise, we will all become soulless wild ghosts! Sooner or later, we will die here!
"Master Xu, what if we have to fight Wang Dian? Maybe we can get the antidote from him!"
"The evil demon king Dian is aloof and arrogant, and his behavior is often incomprehensible," Han Feier swallowed, "I think it's best if we don't meet him, right?"
"Sir..." Huo Anu had already raised the flint, ready to light the fire.
"Anu, wake up!" Xu Zun held Huo Anu's shoulders, "We must calm down, maybe... there is another way!"
"Is there any other way?" Huo Anu's emotions were out of control, as if he was trapped in some kind of anxiety and couldn't extricate himself.
Although Han Fei'er seemed to be still awake, he was also in a state of absent-mindedness from time to time, and his condition was greatly affected.
"You...you two don't move!" Seeing that the two were in a bad situation, Xu Zun had to turn around and look at Ku Niang for help.
The two seemed to be connected in mind. Seeing Xu Zun's eyes, Ku Niang flashed in front of him like a gust of wind, stretched out a finger on each hand, and pressed on a certain acupoint on the back of Huo Anu and Han Feier respectively.
The two of them fell down immediately and, like Xu Zun before, fell into a brief coma.
Next, a trace of fluctuation flashed across Ku Niang's cold face, and Xu Zun instantly understood that this acupoint pressing technique would deplete Ku Niang's power.
Moreover, it is likely to cause some kind of harm to the person whose acupoints are pressed, and it should never be used again.
"Too...too scary!" The Mad Knife Witch said in surprise after seeing this scene, "Even someone as powerful as Wang Dian can't have such acupuncture points. Who...who are you?
"How come... I have never heard of it? Oh... ahem..."
Because she was too excited, the Crazy Knife Witch coughed up blood again and fell to the ground, looking like she was barely breathing.
Obviously, the speech just now had consumed too much of her energy and she could no longer continue.
However, Xu Zun knew that Ku Niang's method would not cause any casualties as long as the Crazy Knife Witch did not use force.
"Okay, let me ask you one last question," Xu Zun came to the Crazy Knife Goddess's ear and asked, "Where are all the food reserves you mentioned earlier?"
"Ah? You..." The Mad Knife Goddess asked, enduring the severe pain, "What are you going to do now?"
