The blood of the Poisoned Man is still a great tonic for Gu Breeders, and indeed an ideal Guard for Gu Masters.
It can serve as both a guard and a good medicine, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this is only true for the highest-level Poisoned Men.
The Poisoned Men are also categorized into Initial Formed, Minor Formed, Fully Formed, and Greatly Formed.
The ones created by Black Six in the Tomb of Zhongshan Mountain’s Overlord don’t even qualify as Initial Formed—they are merely infected by the stone in the Treasure Box, succumbed to Gu poison.
Ah Dao, needless to say, has seen the living dead in the Tomb of Zhongshan Mountain’s Overlord, and also the humanoid creatures in Forbidden Land; there indeed is a difference.
The living dead in the Tomb of Zhongshan Mountain’s Overlord, once their skulls are severed or their hearts destroyed, would indeed die.
But the humanoid creatures in the Forbidden Land are much more troublesome; at least the ones he saw ceased to move only after countless arrows had pierced their hearts.
"If I guess correctly, the humanoid monsters should only be poorly-formed Initial Formed products; strictly speaking, they cannot be considered Poisoned Men." Wu Nuan still patiently discussed with everyone.
"I really don’t understand how such a small stone can turn someone into a Poisoned Man."
While everyone was chatting, the voice of Bai Junjun came from outside the courtyard: "I want to know too."
Only then did everyone realize that it was already noon unknowingly, and Bai Junjun and Fox had returned as if they had merely gone to visit a neighbor, pushing a large pile of food back, which was even more surprising.
The conversation was interrupted as everyone headed towards the courtyard, where they saw a cart piled as high as a mountain, covering staples, side dishes, and even desserts.
"Never thought our neighbors would be so courteous!"
Aren’t the Fire-Swallowing Tribe said to be the most inhospitable wild people in the world?
Yet, they gave so much food?
Just after listening to their "great achievements," everyone seemed a bit more opened-minded.
Or, did the two rob again?
Receiving everyone’s skeptical gaze, Bai Junjun felt wronged; she has always been kind to others.
The one who loves stealing is Fox, not her.
Bai Junjun seriously answered: "Our neighbors are indeed very warm and hospitable, but they only recognize us, so don’t foolishly to borrow things. Just tell us whatever you need, and we can run the errands for you."
Everyone awkwardly nodded; they wouldn’t go anyway.
Though Bai Junjun’s words were dubious, since both of them returned intact, it couldn’t be a fabricated lie, so everyone could only convince themselves to believe that they have a hospitable good neighbor, and that neighbor is the Fire-Swallowing Tribe.
After mentally adjusting, everyone then approached the cart, curious about what treasures the neighbors had given.
Seeing the lychees, Mr. Dan He was delighted.
Lychee skin, including the lychee pit and flesh, can be used as medicine and is very precious.
Seeing the Man-eating Eagle’s Eggs, Mr. Shan Hai was also delighted.
It seemed like a great creature to breed, definitely a precious bird-beast.
Seeing the condiments, Wu Nuan and the maids were delighted as well, since these ingredients would definitely make the cooking delicious.
And seeing the honey, Ah Dao had an epiphany.
The two of them definitely didn’t go to the neighbor’s house, but to that legendary secret realm.
Everyone had their focal points, yet they all shared the same mood—joy.
Especially Mr. Shan Hai, holding two Man-eating Eagle’s Eggs bigger than himself without moving; he stubbornly refused to let anyone cook them, claiming he wanted to hatch them himself.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help the twitching of her lips, thinking to bring out a few more from her Space for Old Man Shan Hai.
