Chapter 380 Are You Also a Member of the Poison Sect?

As a veteran of many years, Jing Rou had spent most of her time researching gunpowder in the Guan Sect, but she still had some experience, so when she heard what Zhao Ya said, he immediately reacted.

"So you are saying that there may be something wrong with this Yang Zhan?"

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!" Zhao Ya put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice.

At this time, after feeling it carefully, he finally discovered what was unusual about this wine.

As he said just now, this altar-burning knife is indeed filled with ingredients.

It's just that it's not poison, but an unknown ingredient.

This ingredient is very interesting. Not only is it non-toxic and harmless, it can also add fragrance and flavor to the wine, so Zhao Ya didn't notice anything strange when he drank it in the tavern.

But even this seemingly harmless ingredient will produce a strange reaction after encountering another thing, which can temporarily block people's perception of danger, thus making people neglect their precautions.

This is also the reason why the crossbowmen who made sneak attacks before were so close, and Jing Rou didn't notice at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but become more and more curious.

This kind of method is not like what an ordinary sea-driving leader can possess.

It seems that Kong Xiangdong has an expert around him!

Jing Rou was no longer sleepy at this time, and sat down with a stern expression, frowning and thinking about these things.

This trip to Wuwanghai was obviously not smooth.

Before entering the seaside, we were attacked by a human-faced bear in the Snowy Mountains.

After entering the town, he found that his familiar boss had been attacked and killed.

Later, the tavern owner Yang Zhan and Kong Kuaishou's people teamed up to plot against him.

Each of these things made Jingrou feel awkward.

But the matter has come to this, it's too late to say anything.

He just hoped that tomorrow's meeting with Kong Xiangdong would go smoothly and nothing would happen again.

After collecting enough miraculous creations and satisfying Zhao Ya's curiosity, he quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Unlike Jing Rou who was uneasy, Zhao Ya was very calm and even vaguely expectant.

Nowadays, Zhao Ya's attainments in the poisonous path are not only at the pinnacle, but also at a high level.

But he was still very new and curious about this method of using several non-toxic substances to trigger wonderful reactions after being combined together.

There is no doubt that the person who came up with this method must also have an in-depth study of poisons, and have a keen mind and amazing talent.

Most people would never imagine this.

How could such a talented person be willing to work for a leader known for his cruelty and madness?

Just when Zhao Ya was wondering, diagonally opposite the hotel where they were staying, there was a large brothel.

At this moment, in a room behind the brothel, Kong Xiangdong was drinking.

Completely different from his violent and crazy reputation, Kong Xiangdong had an elegant appearance and a slim figure, looking like a frail scholar.

But for these people kneeling on the ground, except for the mysterious Wuwu Sea, nothing in the world is more terrifying than their big leader Kong Xiangdong.

So even though the floor was full of people kneeling, there was still silence in the room.

Everyone was kneeling there in silence, not even having the courage to look up.

After a long time, Kong Xiangdong stopped using his chopsticks, and the woman who was standing by carefully serving him quickly handed over a hot towel.

Kong Xiangdong wiped his face after taking it, and then sighed happily.

"Tell me what's going on!"

A scarred man kneeling at the front knelt down two steps forward upon hearing this, and then said respectfully.

"Today Yang Zhan sent a message saying that someone wanted to do business with you, the big boss, so I followed the rules and brought a few people over to try out the quality of these two people. Unexpectedly, the young man's idea was very difficult, and he didn't even wait to do it. We have lost a brother."

"Oh? Someone wants to do business with me. What's his background and origin?" Kong Xiangdong said calmly without even raising his head.

"According to Yang Zhan, this person's surname is Liu, but his identity must be fake. However, this person has been dealing with the dead boss and the others before, and he is only interested in miraculous creations. Now that the boss is dead, he will naturally find someone else. People cooperate," the scar-faced man said.

"Didn't these two drink the wine I gave Yang Zhan?"

Kong Xiangdong raised his head and asked after hearing that it was related to the previous boss and that he also specialized in collecting miraculous creations.

"Drinking, but I don't know what happened. The young man didn't seem to be affected."

Kong Xiangdong's eyes flashed.

"Not affected?"

"That's right, the older man didn't notice at all at that time, but this young man took the lead in attacking before we could take action, and he was very cruel and shot directly through the throat."

"Interesting!" Kong Xiangdong rubbed his smooth, beardless chin, murmured with interest, and then said.

"Then what did Yang Zhan say?"

"Yang Zhan said that these two people will come to see you tomorrow afternoon!"

"Well, we can meet up." Kong Xiangdong said, and then waved his hand.

"Okay, since this person has some skills, I can't blame you for this matter. If a person dies, he will die. You go down!"

"yes!"

The scar-faced man and those present all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then hurriedly left.

It was not until they left the room that these people realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

No other reason.

It was really too much pressure to face the big boss.

The key is that Kong Xiangdong's actions cannot be guessed by common sense.

When he is in a good mood, he is just like now, reasonable and very friendly.

But when he is angry, he is simply a pure madman, and he will kill for a little thing.

You can imagine how much pressure it will be to work under such a big boss.

But even so, Kong Xiangdong still has a lot of sea-hunting people, even second only to the old boss at the beginning.

The reason is also very simple. Although Kong Xiangdong is tyrannical and crazy, relatively speaking, he is the least exploitative of his subordinates.

Especially for those sea-hunting people, as long as you pay enough, Kong Xiangdong will rarely care about you.

And when something happens, he will stand up for you without hesitation.

These two seemingly simple standards are enough to make Kong Xiangdong stand out, and no one even cares about his tyranny and madness.

You can imagine what the other people looked like.

Time passed quickly, and it was the afternoon of the next day.

Although it was called afternoon, there were only two hours from lunch to sunset.

So time was very tight.

Zhao Ya and Jing Rou had just finished lunch at the hotel when Yang Zhan came.

Then he led the two to the brothel.

This was a rare leisure time in the brothel.

After a busy night, the sea hunters who had emptied their bodies and savings had left in the morning and went to the beach to continue fighting for their lives.

The sea hunters who had made some gains did not have time to get to the brothel at this time, so this became a rare leisure time for the women in the brothel.

They would take advantage of this precious time to rest and sleep, or drink and chat.

The cold weather made wine the most popular commodity in the town.

Even these women were addicted to it, enjoying the momentary pleasure after getting drunk.

So when Zhao Ya walked into the brothel, he saw women who were drunk and talking and laughing loudly in the warm hall.

Fuel was precious in the town, so when there were no customers, these women were reluctant to light a fire in their rooms.

In order to keep warm, they would gather in the hall and enjoy the little warmth.

At this time, some of these women were madly complaining about their customers, while others were crying silently and pulling their hair one by one.

Some simply jumped onto the table and started dancing as if no one was around.

Looking at these unruly women, Zhao Ya was quite shocked.

To be honest, these women are actually not good-looking.

Young and beautiful people would not take huge risks to come to such a ghost place to make a living.

But the more so, the more Zhao Ya could feel the sadness of these women.

"Hey, come here, handsome boy, sister wants to talk to you!"

A woman noticed Zhao Ya and waved her hand and greeted him loudly.

"Hehe, you look more handsome than I did when I was young. How old are you, little brother? Do you have a family? If not, look at me. I have good skills and I guarantee that you will be in ecstasy!" A woman said very boldly.

Before Zhao Ya could reply, someone next to him immediately spat: "Bah, you can be someone's mother, and you still dare to say such shameless words, little brother, don't listen to him, come, let me take good care of you!"

Even though Zhao Ya was amazing, he still couldn't resist these women. He lowered his head and walked a few steps quickly, and then he got rid of these people's entanglement.

There was a burst of laughter behind him, and Yang Zhan turned around and smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Little brother is quite popular with women, but don't mind it. These women are always very tough and dare to say anything."

Zhao Ya smiled back and said nothing.

In this way, they passed through the front hall and came to the backyard.

When they saw Kong Xiangdong, he was eating.

The meal was simple, just a big pot of fried rice with lard.

But Kong Xiangdong ate very seriously, chewing every bite carefully before swallowing.

Even when Zhao Ya and the others came in, they did not interrupt the process.

Yang Zhan did not urge him, but stood aside and waited with a smile.

He did not speak, so Zhao Ya and Jing Rou naturally did not say anything.

The three of them just watched quietly as Kong Xiangdong ate the whole pot of fried rice that was emitting oil without leaving a single bite.

After eating, Kong Xiangdong burped loudly, and then leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, and then looked up at Zhao Ya.

"You killed my people yesterday?"

After this question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Although Kong Xiangdong was the only one in the room, Zhao Ya's perception ability naturally allowed him to detect that there were at least fifty people ambushing in front of and behind the house.

But Zhao Ya was not panicked at all, and nodded directly.

"Yes, it's me!"

Kong Xiangdong's eyes gradually narrowed, but he didn't say anything.

The room fell into a dead silence.

But soon, Jing Rou, who was standing behind Zhao Ya, felt a breeze in the room.

At the same time, there was a strange smell that was both fishy and fragrant.

Jing Rou was stunned, but saw that Yang Zhan, who was standing in front just now, had retreated to the corner of the wall at some point, and his expression became very serious.

At this moment, Kong Xiangdong spoke, "A person in the poisonous way?"

"Aren't you too?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Then the two fell into silence again, but the dining table between them began to undergo surprising changes.

The huge rice bowl quickly turned black, and the wooden tabletop gradually began to crack, and then turned into powder.

Jing Rou was shocked and immediately retreated to a distance, holding her breath and not daring to look again.

It was obvious that at this time, Zhao Ya and Kong Xiangdong were engaged in a poisonous competition.

This is much more dangerous than a fight with real swords and guns.

After all, the swords and guns can still be seen.

This kind of competition on the poisonous road is invisible, and at the same time it can kill people invisible.

At this moment, the hardwood dining table collapsed to the ground silently and turned into a pile of black powder.

"You lost!" Kong Xiangdong suddenly laughed.

Zhao Ya took two steps back, and a big black hole appeared on the clothes on his chest, but his expression did not change and he just waved his hand.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black spot the size of a copper coin appeared on Kong Xiangdong's wrist, and the black spot was still expanding rapidly.

Although soon, the spread of the black spots was stopped, and then quickly shrank until it disappeared.

But Kong Xiangdong's face was still ugly.

Because at this time, the pieces of clothing with the big hole in Zhao Ya's chest had dissipated, revealing the smooth skin underneath.

This time the decision is made.

"Your Excellency is so poisonous!" Kong Xiangdong was a bachelor and gave in immediately.

"You're not bad either." Zhao Ya said calmly.

At the same time, he secretly thought that he was lucky.

If it weren't for the gift of being invulnerable to all poisons, I would definitely have been hit this time.

Nothing else.

It is true that Kong Xiangdong's method of poisoning was too clever.

The poison used is also extremely complex and strange.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to see a poisonous master like you in this ghost place. It's really exciting. Come, prepare some wine!"

After receiving a compliment from Zhao Ya, Kong Xiangdong was very happy and immediately asked people to prepare wine and host a banquet.

After a while, a sumptuous banquet was served.

Kong Xiangdong sat in the middle, and sitting next to him was Zhao Ya.

As for everyone else….

Then sit as far away from the two of them as possible.

no way.

It's really scary.

Especially Yang Zhan, he looked at Zhao Ya with complicated eyes, thinking that no wonder he asked for a jar of roasted knives from him last night. It turned out that he already knew that there were ingredients in it!

"Come on, since you and I are both people who study poison, let's drink one first!" Kong Xiangdong raised the glass in his hand and said very excitedly.

Zhao Ya didn't refuse, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

Jing Rou, who was watching this scene from a distance, secretly broke into a cold sweat for Zhao Ya.

This Kong Xiangdong never plays his cards according to common sense. Is it really okay for you to just drink the wine he pours?

"Okay, that's bold enough!" Kong Xiangdong laughed loudly when he saw this, and then drank the wine in the glass.

After finishing the glass of wine, Zhao Ya glanced at Kong Xiangdong and suddenly said: "Your Excellency, it seems that you are infected with a deadly poison?"
