Chapter 032: Poisoning (Ask for Collection)

"Look, look, I said it was a terrible decision." The automatic handwheel swirled in Lucy's fingers, and the light of the spear body pattern gradually receded, leaving two faint golden halos in the night, and then disappeared like a bubble. Lucy retracted the holster from her waist and used the dagger to pick up the previously cooked steak and eat it slowly.

She ate carefully, and ate a slice of steak for 20 minutes before patting her stomach and preparing to leave. Lucy extinguished the campfire with mud and sand, and looked at the two bodies again before turning and leaving. But after taking two steps, she suddenly let out an "ouch" softly, and her hand holding the trunk trembled slightly.

There was a cramping pain in my stomach just now, and a little blood melted in my mouth. She couldn't help but open her mouth and cough lightly, and she coughed up a few strands of blood. The blood splattered on the white palm, and the crimson still had a purple glow. Lucy frowned, this is not something that has eaten a bad stomach, but poisoned!

But she couldn't figure out when she was poisoned?

The night passed, and the day crept in. It was still dawn, and the mist moved with the wind, like a light veil flowing between the rocks and trees. The east is white, everything is just waking up, and the lazy morning light gilds the forest leaves with a layer of white-gold luster. A little morning light penetrated through the leaves of a tall cedar tree and gradually slid to the bottom of the tree. At the base of the tree was a cluster of shrubs, which swayed slightly by the morning breeze, revealing a deep, dimly lit space behind.

It turned out to be a tree hole.

A saber-toothed wolf jumped down a low slope, its head down, sniffing at the ground with its sensitive snout. The saber teeth that flipped out from under the lips of the wolf pulled out two shallow marks on the ground, whether it was leaves or dirt, they would quietly crack when the saber teeth were slightly carried over. The wolf came all the way to the bush, looked up suddenly, and then used its two front paws to tear open the bush, revealing a man-high hole in the tree.

In the hollow of the tree, a figure can be faintly seen.

Alan suddenly opened his eyes, and a feeling of extreme danger crept up his mind like a small snake. The cold and slippery touch made him lose any sleepiness.

Then he saw the dark yellow eyes of the wolf.

Almost without any thought, the tactical long knife turned into a flash of lightning and stabbed the wolf in the eyes. No matter what the danger is, the eyes are always one of the few weaknesses. The wolf was no exception, and the wolf had just spotted its prey, and it was not yet happy. Suddenly, the prey attacked, and the long knife that stabbed into the eye made the wolf jump in fright.

Alan took the opportunity to drill out of the tree hole, pointed his long knife forward, and held the handle of the slaughter with the other hand. He lowered his body slightly, and the man bowed forward, his feet sawing the ground, and he was in a posture of pounce at any time. This posture made the wolf feel very familiar, and suddenly it realized that the prey in front of it did not feel like a human, but like its own kind, or some kind of close relative.

That's the posture of the snow wolf before it pounces!

Saber-toothed wolf, a third-level dangerous species. Specialized in strength and speed, with hollow saber teeth and a venom sac inside, it releases nerve paralyzing toxins when biting its prey. Information about this dangerous species quickly flowed through Allen's mind, and the source of the information was naturally the "Illustrated Book of Creatures" given to him by Hugh Donse. Naturally, Alan focused on the most dangerous pair of murder weapons of the Tyrant Wolf.

Sabertooth!

The wolf growled under his breath, it was hungry. In the past week, he has only hunted one horned deer. It's been more than 5 days since the last time it fed, and it has been filling its stomach with water for the past few days, and its fat has dropped rapidly in the heat of hunger, and it is almost dangerous. If it can't eat anything more, it will starve to death soon.

The human boy in front of him did not have much meat in the eyes of the violent wolf. But he has a well-proportioned body, and his muscle fibers are more abundant by ordinary prey. More muscle fibers mean more energy. Eating this teenager is enough for the wolf to survive another week.

Although the teenager also made it feel dangerous, hunger overrode it. So a ring of hair on the neck of the violent wolf suddenly exploded, which was the signal of the attack!

Allen's pupils dilated slightly, and his body lowered down. At this moment, the violent wolf pounced, and its speed was even a point or two faster than that of Joe, who was good at tactical long knives yesterday! Almost at the same time, Eren suddenly moved sideways, but there was still a bloody light on his shoulder. The clothes were torn, and the shoulders were torn a few times. The wolf misses a blow, and jumps and pounces flexibly, it takes a zigzag trajectory, and the movement is faster than lightning!

Another powerful pounce, this time, Alan used a spin step. The body spun like a spinning top, and it could be dodged from the pounce track of the wolf. Allen's eyes were cold, and the tactical lightning bolt stabbed down, pierced the left paw of the violent wolf, and nailed to the ground along with the meat pad under its claw.

The wolf was in pain and roared to break free. At this moment, a black arc flashed in his eyes, and the anger and hunger in his heart melted away like snow. No matter how angry a beast is, when its head falls to the ground, it naturally can't get angry. Allen held the hand of the slaughter steadily, and the black broadsword slashed the whole head of the violent wolf.

The wolf's blood squirted Eren squarely, and he could even feel the hot beads of blood sliding down his face.

In the bright red pupils, the flames gradually extinguished. Alan exhaled, put away the slaughter, and pulled out the long knife with the claws pierced by the beast. Walking up to the head of the violent wolf, he used a dagger to pick up the two saber teeth that were more than twenty centimeters long. The saber teeth of the wolf are very sharp, and they can be used as short knives or to set traps. In particular, the poison sac in the tooth is more valuable.

He took the bag from the hollow of the tree, put away the saber teeth, and continued his journey without wiping even the blood of the wolf. The wolf blood on the body will leave the smell of a violent wolf for a certain period of time, and the smell of the third-level dangerous species will make most of the low-level dangerous species detour, and Allen can save a lot of trouble.

Continue to advance towards the established location, and the trees gradually become denser. Two hours later, Alan climbed a low slope, and the sun poured down behind him, forming a golden patch on the grassy slope, illuminating the trees on the slope and casting long shadows on the ground. Alan hid himself in one of the shadows, crouched down on the grassy slope and looked down, and a familiar figure slipped into his eyes.

Lucy.

The blonde girl with a double ponytail was sitting on the grass resting against a tall tree. Her face was not very good, her pale face tinged with a hint of blue, and even the hand holding the pistol trembled lightly from time to time.

Alan frowned, walked away from the shadows, and slid down the grassy slope.

When she heard the movement, Lucy immediately raised her gun and reacted not at all. If you don't look at her face, you really can't see her abnormality. After seeing that it was Allen, she let out a sigh of relief and put down her gun, revealing a forced smile.

"You're hurt?" Alan walked over.

Lucy shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "To be correct, it should be poisoned." But you look worse than me, are you? ”

The wolf blood on Allen's body had dried up, turning into a dark red bloodstain. He looked at the wound that had been caught for the wolf, which had been sprayed with hemostatic spray. Now the wound has closed slightly, and it has not bled anymore. He shook his head: "Skin trauma, nothing." But you, how did you get poisoned? ”

"That's the problem." Lucy smiled wryly: "I can't remember when I was poisoned, let alone know who poisoned it." ”

"Tell me about your situation." Alan crouched down.

"This poison is very hidden, I guess it is a chronic poison. Before last night's fight with the two, I remember very well that nothing was wrong with my body. But after the fight, the toxicity set in. Now that the toxin has been incorporated into the bloodstream, I use my own source power to suppress it, but it shouldn't last long. If the toxin enters the heart with the blood......" Lucy made a throat-slitting gesture.

Alan looked at her angrily, even when it came to this, Lucy still looked like this.

"How much time is left?" Alan asked.

"Since the poisoning last night, I have been using my source power to neutralize the toxin. Probably, it can last for 15 hours, thanks to the fact that the toxin is not strong enough. Otherwise, just my little source power. Lucy snorted, looking self-deprecating.

"The other party should not dare to use too strong poison, otherwise, your mentor will find out in advance. It's a chronic poison designed to kill you in a death ring. That way, that person can harvest your scores. Alan stood up and looked around: "The time of the poison attack should be very clear to the other party, judging from the time of the attack, the other party will not leave you too far, and the distance should be controlled in a day's journey." ”

"But speaking of which, how will the poisoner determine your position? Unless......" Alan said in a deep voice: "The other party knows where you will go!" ”

Lucy said, "You mean Emily?" ”

Ever since Mike set up a plot to dethrone Eren before the start of the death ring, Lucy and her small group have broken up, with Emily remaining alone. Again, only Emily knew how they gathered. What's more, there has been no news of Emily being killed so far, and she herself has not yet appeared.

In this way, she is the most suspicious.

Lucy couldn't believe it, but she wasn't naΓ―ve enough to deny the possibility. Although Emily seems to be kind and harmless, it is easy to represent a child in the death ring of a borough. If she was really that innocent, she would have been killed in training camp a long time ago. It's just that Lucy can't figure out how exactly Emily did it?

"You stay here and don't move, it's better to find a hidden place to hide, don't let people pick it up. Take care of yourself, I'm going to find that person. Alan said: "Normally, there should be an antidote on the other party, so that they can threaten you when needed." ”

"Actually, the best thing for you to do now is to leave me, if you are involved in this matter, I am afraid that even you will be in danger." Lucy shrugged, "At the end of the day, our alliance will last until we kill the others." And now, I have a hard time fulfilling the duties of an ally. ”
