Chapter 517: Chapter 303: Yes, It’s Old Demon Duan! We’re Saved!
When the smoke was placed in their hands, and they had no choice but to smoke it, the group of external disciples realized their good days were over.
This smoke has miraculous effects on poisonous insects, snakes, ants, and even wild beasts tend to avoid it, but the price is the consumption of one’s Qi-Blood life.
This is the proprietary "Blood Life Smoke" of Red Tower Mountain, and the reason why they dared to venture in and out of this perilous Golden Mountain in summer.
But what of the cost?
The cost isn’t high, just the sacrifice of a dozen or so external disciples’ lives.
Do external disciples count as people?
Previously, treating this group of pigs to good food and drink, without directly using them, was enough to prove their benevolence.
Duan Yun smoked this smoke, feeling the fluctuation of Qi-Blood.
Even with his Inner Strength, there was a tearing sensation.
He couldn’t help but take two deep puffs, realizing this smoke is potent, akin to poison, capable of smoking someone to death.
"Smoke well, smoke well."
"If you don’t smoke, how will you contribute, enter the Inner Sect!"
At the front, the Inner Sect disciples of Red Tower Mountain had begun to force the external disciples, and disobedience was met with kicking, punching, and random stabbing.
But Duan Yun’s side had no such troubles.
Those external disciples discovered something unusual; under high pressure, they were forced to smoke the Blood Life Smoke, but they smoked very cautiously, even trying to slack off.
Because what they were smoking was their life.
Yet on Duan Yun’s side, both Master Wang and several Inner Sect disciples were astounded.
Because Duan Yun and Ziyu were both puffing clouds of smoke, as if wishing to finish the smoke quickly.
Are they mad!
At this moment, Master Wang reminded, "Smoke slower."
As soon as he spoke, Duan Yun and Ziyu smoked more fiercely.
There are those who’ve seen recklessness, but not this level of recklessness.
Master Wang quickly realized, thinking to himself, "These two brothers and sisters are natural smokers; this is clearly an uncontrollable addiction."
For many smokers, as long as there’s smoke to inhale, even at the cost of their life, they’ll accept it.
This is also the main reason Red Tower Mountain is so profitable and can attract many people.
But these two siblings had just started smoking not long ago, and their addiction was already so severe—if this isn’t natural smoking talent, what is?
By now, a group looking at them had grown respectful.
This way of smoking Blood Life Smoke was indeed a first-time encounter.
Among them, Master Wang and two Inner Sect disciples couldn’t help but feel regret. Master Wang liked men, while the other two disciples liked women, and Duan Yun and Ziyu happened to be good-looking individuals.
Previously, the three of them had planned to find a chance to have some fun, but seeing the other side smoke so fiercely now, it’s feared they won’t have much time left.
By then, it might be too late to take advantage of their corpse’s warmth, missing out on the pleasures of the living.
But having is better than not having, right?
Seeing Duan Yun and Ziyu smoke so passionately, the group’s own addiction was also piqued, and soon they began puffing clouds of smoke themselves.
For a moment, Duan Yun’s squad seemed to be enveloped in a haze, rich with the smell of smoke.
The other squads saw this and couldn’t help but shout, "Look at others! Inhale, damn it!"
"Inhale hard!"
By this point, Duan Yun and Ziyu had noticed something was off.
Walking through the woods, there were constant rustling sounds all around.
The sound seemed to approach them, then quickly retreat.
Presumably, it must be the dreaded poisonous insects of Golden Mountain.
Next moment, Ziyu suddenly looked in a certain direction.
Because she noticed a tree moving.
When she looked closely, she felt a chill down her spine.
It wasn’t a tree moving, but rather the tree was covered with poisonous insects.
The insects were densely clustered, flapping their wings, so at a glance, it seemed like the tree had many mouths breathing, making one’s scalp tingle.
At this moment, the expressions of Master Wang and others turned considerably grave.
"Quickly go! Don’t stare!"
"The smoke can’t stop."
After saying the latter sentence, he regretted it.
Because these two smokers were too fierce!
Several Inner Sect disciples were worried.
Because once the external disciple resources are consumed, the next ones will be them, the noble Inner Sect disciples.
Duan Yun and Ziyu had to admit, the Blood Life Smoke was truly remarkable; with countless poisonous insects in the woods, as long as they inhaled this smoke, they’d die abruptly or flee.
In essence, they relied on this smoke to carve out a path through an insect sea.
Unfortunately, it was just a bit life-consuming.
Duan Yun smoked this smoke fiercely mainly because, as a doctor, he wanted to test the harmfulness of the smoke, so that he could prescribe accordingly and treat it properly.
This wasn’t entirely a challenge.
In the past, Shennong tasted herbs, now a young hero smokes lethal smoke.
After passing through that forest, the rustling sounds of poisonous insects had disappeared.
The Inner Sect disciples gradually relaxed, talking and laughing, filling the group with a joyful atmosphere once more.
But Master Wang wasn’t smiling, because he was coughing.
Because the smoke Duan Yun was smoking was intentionally or unintentionally all drifting into his nostrils.
Though the Blood Life Smoke burns other people’s lives, its power is strong, and its smell pungent; this secondhand smoke was even intolerable for this old smoker.
After dodging three positions and still getting choked by the smoke, Master Wang understood!
This guy was doing it on purpose!
The fellow was smoking the Blood Life Smoke recklessly, appearing mad, but actually grudgeful inside.
Targeting him to vent anger.
Defying heaven, you, a mere external disciple, I only want one of your lives, yet you want to choke me. Is there no law anymore?
No rules to follow?
"Stop smoking!" Master Wang coughed.
If it wasn’t for needing this smoker later, he might have already laid hands on him, to kill this good-looking fellow!
