Volume 1, Chapter 19, The Poison Pharmacist
On the island at noon, the sun is shining.
Ye Mo walked alone in the dense jungle, feeling the oncoming forest mist and water vapor, feeling refreshed for a while, and did not feel stuffy at all.
Since he broke through to the seventh layer of the refining body, his five senses have strengthened a lot, and he only felt the water vapor slightly when he walked in the jungle a few days ago, but now he can feel that they are condensed in the air and fluttering in the wind.
He could even hear the chirping of birds in the dense treetops dozens of feet away, and smell all kinds of faint grass in the air.
"What smell? herbs, and a faint smell of blood, there are quite a few people around here!"
Ye Mo sniffed and observed the messy footprints on the ground.
In a few moments, he saw that in the jungle ahead there was a low fence wall, made of some smaller branches, crudely built and uneven, and extremely unsightly.
Looking inside the fence, Ye Mo saw seven martial artists sitting horizontally and vertically, and they were talking angrily.
In the middle of them was a black-robed martial artist with the highest status.
The other warriors all sat around the black-robed warriors.
"Most of them are coarse cloth clothes, all of them are rough men, it should be a gang of civilian warriors!"
Ye Mo cautiously lay down in the grass, and suddenly tensed his nerves. Now the atmosphere on this island is tense, and if the warriors who don't know each other disagree, they are likely to draw their swords against each other.
However, after taking a closer look, he quickly relaxed.
Ye Mo found that their group of warriors didn't even have an iron weapon on them, I am afraid that the fence and wall were all made by them by breaking the branches with their strength, no wonder it was so ugly.
From this point of view, at least the sword scars on Wang Hu and Yang You were not injured by this group.
Except for those martial artists who specialize in cultivating fists and legs and light skills, if ordinary martial artists do not have weapons in their hands, their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, and there is not much threat.
Ye Mo's strength naturally did not fear these seven unarmed warriors, he crouched in the dense grass, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped on their conversation from a distance.
"What a fucking bad luck! Now we don't even have a weapon to chop wood. We can only get some thick branches and rotten leaves, and we can't even build a decent fence! How can we survive on this island? A poisonous snake that sneaks in at night can kill us!"
A black man with a stubble face glanced at the fence they had made, and his face was very ugly.
"Don't complain about the mad bull! We can survive that terrible storm is already a blessing and a great fate, although we lost our weapons during the shipwreck, but as long as people don't die, there is always hope. ”
A young warrior in a green shirt said with a grim face.
The big man known as the mad bull glanced at the young warrior in the green shirt, and didn't want to say more, but his face was angry.
"Last night I encountered a sea beast and bit a few people to death, but fortunately it left quickly, otherwise everyone would be doomed! The task now is to find the weapon to take advantage of, if there is another sea beast tonight, I wonder how many people will be able to sit here and talk tomorrow." ”
"It's a light word, who doesn't know that we want to find weapons, and now we can't even get a tree! Where to find weapons? That stone, or take a branch!"
A tiger-headed teenager complained. Although the tone made the person who spoke just now very unhappy, he said it was not unreasonable, and the person was not easy to refute for a while.
"If it weren't for Boss Lin last night who used the island's 'Ghost Grass' to create a strong poison 'Ghost Sees Sorrow' and forced back that sea beast, I'm afraid there would be few people standing here today!"
"Needless to say, it's a pity that we didn't poison the sea beast, otherwise we would have eaten a delicious meal of meat now." ”
After finishing speaking, the tiger-headed boy's stomach also cohesed a few times.
If it were normal, it would have caused a burst of laughter, but at this time everyone was hungry and their morale was very low, and no one had the heart to laugh at it.
"Hey, there is no way to enter the heavens, there is no way to enter the earth, there is no boat, and if you want to leave this damn island, you can't do it, are we going to die on this deserted island?! If I knew that the sea of Ludao was so dangerous, I shouldn't have been so hot-headed and came to find some fairy village!
"Don't talk nonsense! The boss will definitely come up with a way to get everyone out of here alive! If you don't want to look for it, when we find the fairy village, we'll envy you to death!"
......
Ye Mo listened to what they said, thinking quickly in his heart.
This group of warriors is also a survivor of the ship, and they should all be a group of civilians from the same country, and only seven of them are left after the shipwreck. Their weapons were lost in a storm at sea that night. Without sharp weapons, not even a single tree could be cut down, which is why the fence was built so ugly.
Last night another sea beast attacked them, and although they repelled the sea beast, some of them were killed and wounded. The current situation of their group of warriors is only afraid that they have reached the edge of despair.
"The boss of their gang is actually a poison master who can make poison! If this person can join the cave camp on my side, the defensive strength of the cave camp will definitely increase several times! ”
Ye Mo was greatly moved, and had the idea of wooing the black-robed warrior to join the gang.
When he was collecting medicines, he occasionally saw some poisonous herbs, but he didn't dare to pick them, and these poisonous herbs were all wasted. It would be great if there was a poison master who could use all these poisonous herbs to deal with those terrifying Kraken beasts!
It's just that the black-robed man doesn't look like a person who is willing to be subservient, and judging by his appearance, he is a scheming person. My cultivation strength is not strong enough to make this poison master submit. It's so hard to get him to obey me!"
Ye Mo thought about it for a while, but still gave up the tempting idea of pulling them in.
He didn't have the strength to make the poison master and those warriors obey him right now. If you take the liberty of pulling them into the gang and join the cave camp, you will bring disaster. It would be very bad if they came to occupy the magpie's nest.
However, not being able to win over the poison master does not mean that he cannot use the poison master to help him make poisons. He can take the spirit wood gun and exchange it with the poisoner for the poison to make a good poison.
Ye Mo came out of the grass where he was hiding, and walked outside their fence with a chance passing look.
He was not afraid of them. In the event of a conflict, although he didn't dare to say that he could defeat the eight of them bare-handed warriors alone, it would be no problem to kill two or three people and retreat with his whole body.
"Who!"
"What man!?"
In the dilapidated camp, several loud shouts rang out.
The warriors were startled when they heard the clattering footsteps of the leaves.
"I was looking for food everywhere, and I happened to pass by here, and when I saw you camping here and discussing the affairs of the island, I came to say hello. If you are disturbed, please forgive me!"
Ye Mo stopped outside the walls of their camp, but with a smile on his face, he said.
"Passing by?"
"This deep mountain and dense forest, what is there to pass by!"
The martial artists in the camp were very skeptical, but seeing that Ye Mo was only one person, and there were many people on their side, their tense expressions couldn't help but relax slightly.
When the black-robed man saw the Qingfeng Sword on Ye Mo's body, he recognized it at a glance, and his originally gloomy gaze suddenly lit up.
He waved his hand.
When the seven warriors in the camp saw that their boss was about to speak, they all immediately fell silent.
"This brother must have also been shipwrecked on this island, and he will be in sympathy with us. This island is very unsafe, full of dangers, and even infested with terrifying sea monsters, which are beyond the capabilities of our warriors. Brother, you are afraid that it is extremely dangerous to be alone, it is better to join our group, we are short of manpower, with brothers joining, our strength can be increased a lot, and you can also have a stable place to stay, what do you think?"
The black-robed warrior had the intention of soliciting, and smiled at Ye Mo.
"I already have a gang, just came out to find some food to eat, I'm sorry, thank you for this brother's kindness!"
Ye Mo shook his head and smiled.
When the black-robed martial artist and the other martial artists heard Ye Mo's words, their eyes showed obvious disappointment, and it seemed that they couldn't easily recruit them. In this case, they would not be able to directly get the Qingfeng Sword in Ye Mo's hand.
Unless...... Robbery!
The black-robed warrior and the others glanced at each other, and seemed to have a tacit understanding of this idea. Many of them, with sticks and stones in their backs, began to move slowly and quietly, trying to go around to the side to outflank them.
"I can't help myself! With those broken sticks and rotten stones in your hands, you can still resist my Qingfeng sword?!"
Ye Mo glanced at them, sneered contemptuously, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the Qingfeng Sword, and with a bang, pulled out a few inches. The three-inch sword body exposed by the Qingfeng Sword was glowing with a cold cold light.
All the warriors were startled and looked back at the black-robed warriors.
The black-robed warrior's face was dark, and he shook his head and told them to stop. He didn't know Ye Mo's strength, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart that he could take down Ye Mo without casualties. Ye Mo didn't have the slightest fear, he was just afraid that he wouldn't be provoked. If they missed, his men would probably suffer heavy casualties.
The warriors did not dare to act rashly again.
"I just heard you talk about the lack of sharp weapons, and if you lack the means to defend yourself, I can give you a few, but you must exchange them for the most valuable things in your hands. ”
Ye Mo directly went straight to the point to talk about the deal, he didn't want to ink with this group of martial artists anymore.
"Oh, so you're trying to make a deal. What kind of weapon does this little brother have, tell me about it?"
The black-robed warrior's face was dark, and he pondered for a while before he said.
Blades, this is what they need most urgently to survive on the island.
"Lingmu Throwing Spear!"
Ye Mo said.
"Wooden guns? Ha Luha, you brought a wooden gun to negotiate a deal with us, are you really fooling us?"
The black-faced man had just sulked, and now Ye Mo's words had allowed him to find an outlet.
"Crazy Bull, don't talk nonsense!"
The black-robed warrior glared at the black-faced man, and asked Ye Mo with some excitement: "What the little brother is talking about is a wooden spear made of spirit wood? This kind of throwing spear is as hard as iron!"
"Not bad!"
Ye Mo nodded.
"And what do you want to trade with me?"
The black-robed man also didn't ink.
"I just heard them say that you are a poison master and can make poisons?! Of course, if you have anything else that will increase the survivability of our camp, you can trade it with me. ”
Ye Mo said lightly.
