Chapter 511: Broken Faces, Brothers Betray Each Other

The grass and trees were broken, the ground was scorched, and the wind carried a highly poisonous substance, killing small animals and reptiles wherever it passed.

On the endless plain, two figures walked side by side, causing the soil to surge like waves.

Although they tried their best to gather the poison, wisps of blood and energy emanating from their pores still dispersed into the air.

"We can't go on like this. Not to mention our fellow disciples who know us well, the poison gas has spread into a trail. The wizards will know we are passing by and can easily catch up with us."

The poisonous goose Lu Zhigang and the strange scorpion are the only ones who have no medicine. The two are rushing forward rapidly.

After they got the stone slab, they decisively set out on their return journey, leaving the battlefield and returning to the Wandu Secret Workshop.

But it is easier coming than going, and there are constant problems of all sizes along the way.

The witches, who were originally regarded as prey, have now become annoying roadblocks, and the world hopes that there will be as few of them as possible.

The two of them did not want to fight, but the wizards all knew about the sneak attack by the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop and hated all poisonous weapons with a vengeance, and would fight to the death if they met one.

After playing more than a dozen games in a row, I finally met a companion...

"Aren't you chasing the witch hunters? Why are you heading back? I understand. You got the good stuff and don't want to risk your life anymore."

"Take it out. Everyone who sees it gets a share. You don't want me to report it to Senior Brother Fu Manlun, do you?"

"Du Wuyao, Lu Zhigang, be careful or I'll yell and make sure you get nothing."

Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?

After joining forces to kill several groups of fellow disciples, Lu Zhigang and Du Wuyao both realized that they could no longer avoid the crime of possessing a treasure.

There was no need for Wu Luoye to even publicize it, the trajectory of their two actions clearly exposed the fact that they were carrying a valuable treasure.

Although the brothers were united and knew that this opportunity was rare and related to whether they could turn things around in the future, but after fighting one battle after another, losses and injuries were inevitable, and the emitted poison revealed their whereabouts.

In order to ensure the smooth journey, Zhou You also paid most of his attention to this vest, and 'Lu Zhigang' switched to Zhou You.

"It won't work."

"I'm exhausted."

The two stopped in a shady place, sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

Du Wuyao took out a water bag, drank a few sips, and then handed it to Zhou You.

Zhou You was stunned for a moment, took the water bag and put it aside, then took out his own water bottle and started drinking.

There are taboos everywhere in the Wan Du Secret Shop, and the first one is not to eat food or drink water handed to you by others.

Even close friends and blood relatives are no exception. There are too many examples in the world that show that it is not an exaggeration to say that disaster can come from the mouth.

Du Wuyao sighed, "We brothers have spent at least half of our lives on this journey, but it's worth it."

"Zhigang, when we return to the Myriad Poisons Secret Shop, the ancestor will reward us according to our merits. You and I will both have a bright future."

"If the ancestor promotes you and me to be his inner disciples, how glorious will it be for us then?"

As he spoke, he fell into fantasy, his expression becoming more and more intoxicated, "What senior brother, junior uncle, we have to be humble when we see each other in the future, it's fun!"

Zhou You didn't say anything. He took this opportunity to try his best to restore his energy and blood as he still had a long journey to go.

It would take more than ten days to get from here to the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop if everything went smoothly and there were no obstacles.

The two of them supported each other. If they didn't encounter a very strong opponent, such as Wu Luoye, there was always hope that they would be able to complete the journey despite the bumps and bruises.

"Hey, you didn't drink my water just now. It's the right thing to do. It's commendable that you are cautious." Du Wuyao's tone suddenly became gloomy.

"Back then, when I first entered the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret House with a few brothers, we didn't believe in this taboo. After a meal, seven and a half of the eight of us, including me, died, and I was the only one left alive with half my life."

“Since then, I no longer trust anyone.”

"You are stronger than I was before. Even though I have been very open-hearted to you these days, you have not let your guard down."

"You are a natural born poison weapon. I wanted to help you, but unfortunately..."

The more Zhou You listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to make preparations secretly, he suddenly found that the root of his tongue was numb, and his wrists and feet were numb. Finally, wherever his mind went, every part of his body became numb.

In the blink of an eye, he was poisoned and his limbs and torso were unable to move like rotten wood.

Du Wuyao's voice came to my ears, "But you still underestimated my ability. Do you think you won't be poisoned if you don't eat or drink and take precautions?"

He slowly stood up, picked up the water bag, and poured out the water in front of Zhou You.

"To tell you the truth, the poison I put in was in the scorpion eggs I gave you."

"You relied on this scorpion egg to break through. No matter how careful you were, there were still traces left. This trace is my chance."

So that's how it is. Zhou You recalled that he was able to break through the poisonous weapon with this vest by relying on the glimmer of life hatched by the scorpion, and he realized the secret of the vitality assisting the breaking of the mirror.

After the money scorpion hatched, I thought everything was fine, but I didn't expect there would be this follow-up.

Du Wu Yao has been patient until now. Although they have been together for a long time, he has never mentioned this matter, which shows how cunning and scheming he is.

Zhou You closed his eyes, recalled his past interactions with him, and said, "It's not unfair."

It was indeed not unfair. Du Wuyao had been lying in ambush for such a long time for this moment, which showed his deepest intentions.

"Brother Zhigang, thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin, but I want to walk the rest of the way on my own."

Du Wuyao put his hands on Zhou You's shoulders and said, "I was betrayed by that vicious woman and my life was ruined. When I learned the skills to take revenge, that vicious woman knelt down and begged for mercy. How pitiful."

"Guess what I did to her?"

Zhou You was speechless, but he recalled from his memory that late at night, the sound of a woman wailing and screaming could be heard from Du Wuyao's room. This sound continued every night and was heartbreaking and cruel.

Could it be that Du Wuyao’s wife is still alive?

Du Wuyao pulled out a bunch of clanking wooden components from his bosom and muttered to himself, "Thinking back then, I learned carpentry to make her happy, but somehow I entered the secret teachings of a hundred craftsmen and learned the tricks of Yanshi puppets."

"She was still alive, and I skinned her alive and removed her bones, and replaced her with the puppet hub. Look, these are the little things."

"After seven days and seven nights of sleepless labor, I made her into an immortal and indestructible puppet of beauty to stay by my side."

"From now on, this vicious woman will not change her heart, nor will she grow old. Even if I torture her and abuse her, she will not leave me or betray me. This will not change for a hundred years or ten thousand years."

Du Wuyao pinched Zhou You's shoulder bones, collarbones, etc. one by one, and praised, "Good muscles and bones."

"Zhigang, let's discuss this. I will make you into a puppet later. Don't worry, we are brothers, and I won't hurt you too much."

"When you become a puppet, even if you have a monstrous hatred, you will have no choice but to submit to me and obey my orders."

"The story you told earlier was about how you escaped from the North. It was a nice story, but it wasn't candid enough. You deliberately concealed the fact that you and Liu Fengji hit it off at first sight and that you helped him escape."

"Good brother, you have a big secret. You can transport a living person without anyone noticing. It's even easier for you to transport a piece of stone."

"If I don't act in advance, you will plot against me and take all the benefits."
