Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Throw it down." She ordered coldly.

The pill fell to the bottom of the valley, shattered instantly, and emitted a sweet and fishy smell.

But after a moment, there was a rustling sound in the valley - those Black Scale Guards who had been dormant among the rotten corpses suddenly pounced madly towards the place where the pill fell like wild beasts that smelled blood!

"really……"

Liu Yueli narrowed her eyes.

"They have long been infected with the 'bloodthirsty insect', and will lose control if they smell the same poison."

While the Black Scale Guards were killing each other, she led her men around to the cliff on the side of the valley.

Rappelling with a rope.

There are a few winter pear trees growing sporadically on the cliff. The fruits are purple-black like ink, and the skin is covered with a layer of white hair like frost grains.

She put on her deerskin gloves and carefully picked one. The fruit was icy cold, like holding a piece of ice. But just as she turned around,

"Master Liu, I have long admired you."

A cold voice came from the shadows.

Liu Yueli turned around suddenly and saw a man in black robe standing on the hill of corpses. His eyes under the mask were as green as a venomous snake.

"Toruhan's 'Shadow Pharmacist'..."

She clenched the Hanxin Pear and sneered.

"Why, Prime Minister Shenmu doesn't even have the courage to show up in person?"

Shadow Pharmacist did not answer, but slipped out a poisoned short blade from his sleeve: "Leave the cold heart pear, and you may survive."

Liu Yueli sneered and suddenly smashed the fruit in her hand to the ground!

"Then let's see, it's your poison."

She suddenly leaped back, and the silver needle shot out from her sleeve.

"My needle is still faster!"

The purple-black winter pear drew a cold arc in the rotten air.

Smash hard into the frozen ground covered with moss and broken bones!

"you--!"

The pupils under the shadow pharmacist's mask suddenly contracted, and he didn't even have time to let go of the poisoned short blade.

He never expected that Liu Yueli would be so determined as to destroy this only hope!

Just as the fruit was about to touch the ground, three rays of cold blue light thrown out by Liu Yueli arrived!

It did not shoot towards Shadow Pharmacist, but nailed accurately into the slightly raised pile of corpses covered with black and purple vines at his feet!

puff!puff!puff!

Three "sealing needles" were inserted into the rotten flesh, and the needle tips were still trembling.

Shadow Pharmacist paused slightly, and was about to laugh at this inaccurate attack, when an indescribable fishy and foul smell suddenly burst out from the needle hole!

That was not an ordinary corpse stench, but a mixture of corpse poison, miasma, and some remnants of the "Frost Plague" that had been forcibly suppressed and suddenly became active due to the stimulation of the silver needles!

This is the "poison attractant" that Liu Yueli extracted from the patients in the camp, concentrated it, and then applied to the tip of the needle!

"Ugh—!"

The shadow pharmacist let out a howl that was not like a human voice.

The black robe on his body instantly began to emit green smoke as if corroded by strong acid. Dark red spots appeared on the exposed backs of his hands and the skin on his neck at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then quickly festered and oozed pus!

The poison skills he was proud of now became his death warrant.

The balance of toxins in his body was completely disrupted by this sudden plague of the same origin but more violent, and it backfired on himself!

"Corpse...poison...you...are so cruel..."

Shadow Pharmacist stumbled back, his eyes beneath the mask filled with incredible malice and pain.

He tried to suppress it with his internal energy, but the poison spread much faster than he could imagine, and the poisoned short blade fell to the ground with a clang.

Liu Yueli didn't even look at him, and pounced towards the cliff again like a civet cat!

The move to knock down the Heart-breaking Pear just now was a feint. Her real target was another vine next to it that was higher up and had two larger fruits on it!

She moved as fast as lightning, using her deerskin gloves to precisely pick two purple-black fruits.

Stuffed into a special leather bag around the waist.

"Retreat!" she shouted softly, and the rope had already been pulled up by the death warriors on the top of the cliff.

Shadow Pharmacist struggled to rush forward, but his festering skin made his movements slow and deformed. He could only watch Liu Yueli's figure rise rapidly and disappear in the mist at the edge of the cliff.

He let out a final, unwilling roar, and his body collapsed like a melted candle, merging with the pile of corpses beneath his feet, leaving only a few wisps of rising, poisonous green smoke.

Refugee camp, inside the Changbaishan military tent.

Chang Baishan's condition deteriorated rapidly. The spider-web-like purple-black lines on his arms squirmed and spread like living things, already crawling up his neck and even faintly reaching towards his heart.

His sallow complexion turned into a strange blue-gray color, his breathing became so weak that it almost stopped, and the trace of vital energy in his heart meridian that was only forcibly suspended by the Red Blood Solidifying Yuan Pill was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

"General! General!" The military doctor was sweating profusely. The silver needle was inserted into Chang Baishan, but Chang Baishan showed no reaction. Instead, his body began to twitch intermittently and uncontrollably. With each twitch, the purple-black lines deepened.

Chu Ying's face turned ashen and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

He stood guard outside the tent, his eyes fixed on the direction of Jackdaw Valley. Every minute and every second felt like being scalded in a frying pan. Liu Yueli had been gone for too long!

"Report!" A scout covered in blood rushed into the camp crawling.

"General Chu! There are signs of intense fighting in the direction of Jackdaw Valley! We've found... found the remains of the Divine Wood Shadow Pharmacist! Lord Liu... Lord Liu's whereabouts are unknown!"

"what?!"

Chu Ying felt a chill run from his feet straight up to his head, and his vision went dark. Is Shadow Pharmacist dead? And what about Liu Yueli...

At this moment, there was a commotion and exclamations from outside the camp!

"Master Liu is back!"

"It's Master Liu!"

Liu Yueli's figure appeared at the edge of the camp. Her body was covered in mud and dark blood, most likely from a rotting corpse. Her face was as pale as paper and her lips were purple from the cold, but her eyes were surprisingly bright, like burning stars.

Her steps were unsteady and she was almost dragged back by two assassins, but she held the bulging leather bag around her waist tightly in her arms.

"Medicine...Hanxin Pear..."

When she saw Chu Ying coming towards her, she uttered only these few words before she could no longer hold on. Her body went limp and she fainted.

"Hurry! Save him! Get some medicine!"

Chu Ying snatched Liu Yueli and shouted at him. He carefully untied the leather bag and felt a bone-chilling coldness in his hand.

The military doctors hurriedly placed Liu Yueli on another simple bed.

A quick check revealed she was suffering mainly from exhaustion, frostbite, and inhaled miasma, but showed no obvious signs of trauma or poisoning, which gave everyone a slight sigh of relief.

Chu Ying rushed into the Changbaishan military tent, holding the two purple-black jade-like Hanxin pears that exuded a chilling aura.

"The medicine is here! Quick! How do I use it?!"

The military doctors looked at this legendary poison and looked at each other in confusion.

Ancient books do not provide detailed records, only saying that "eating it can cure all kinds of poisons, but its nature is extremely yin, and ordinary people will die if they take it."

How can Changbai Mountain withstand its current exhausted state?

"Master Liu...Master Liu said before..."

A military doctor recalled what Liu Yueli said before she fell into a coma.

"She said... the cold heart pear is used as an inducement... and needs to be combined with the secret medicine of the sacred tree... to suppress its cold and yin properties..."
