Chapter 149 Pursuit of the Nangong Brothers
Chapter 149 Pursuit of the Nangong Brothers
The three followed silently behind the two. Yang Jianwu, not seeing Hong Nan and Hong Bei, quietly asked, "Where did Hong Nan and Hong Bei go?"
Puyang Xuan teased Mo Ye, "Your subordinates haven't lost themselves, have they?"
Mo Ye ignored him and answered Yang Jianwu's question instead, "They are good at tracking, so they should be hiding nearby."
Yang Jianwu nodded, "That's good!"
Nangong Ji sensed someone following him and threw out a Gu worm to deal with the trouble behind him. The moment Xiao Jin sensed the Gu worm, it rushed out of Yang Jianwu's hand and swallowed it whole. Crunch, crunch, delicious...
The five people froze on the street. Nangong Ji felt incredulous. What kind of snake was so powerful? It actually ate Gu worms! Gu worms! They were Gu worms!
Nangong Yan, however, was thinking of possessing the snake! That way, he could do whatever he wanted in Nan Yue. A snake that could even deal with Gu worms must be incredibly powerful!
Yang Jianwu wanted to immediately stew Xiao Jin into snake soup! What a glutton!!
Puyang Xuan and Mo Ye were amazed by Xiao Jin's reaction speed. It was too fast. What kind of Gu worm could escape at such a speed?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Yang Jianwu was the first to react. She ran over, grabbed Xiao Jin from the ground, and rushed towards the two of them.
Meanwhile, the other four also realized what was happening, resulting in a situation where three chased and two ran away...
To avoid exposing their stronghold in Dongli Capital, Nangong Ji led people to the wilderness. As a successor of Gu magic personally taught by the Imperial Preceptor, controlling certain things in nature was naturally within his grasp.
Strange sounds began to emanate from their mouths. In nature, the smaller the creature, the easier it is to control. A swarm of mosquitoes rushed in from all directions, forcing the three of them to stop. A few mosquito bites are nothing to worry about, but too many will make you itch terribly.
Mo Ye immediately shielded Yang Jianwu behind him, assuming a defensive stance; Pu Yangxuan quickly took off his outer robe to protect Yang Jianwu's face.
Yang Jianwu felt a warmth in her heart; it was so nice to have someone protecting her. However, when it came to mosquitoes, she was still the expert. She pushed the two apart, took out a bottle of insecticide from her spatial storage, and as the insecticidal mist was sprayed out, a pile of dead mosquitoes quickly appeared on the ground, a sight that made one's scalp tingle...
Puyang Xuan rubbed his arms. "Jianwu, your medicine is amazing..."
Mo Ye tossed the outer garment from Yang Jianwu's shoulders to Puyang Xuan, saying, "Your kindness is useless to Xiaowu."
Puyang Xuan snorted, "That just means the sword dance is amazing!"
Yang Jianwu ignored the two of them. Really, did they ever argue at the wrong time? She continued to chase after Nangong Ji and Nangong Yan, following their escape route.
Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan exchanged a glance and followed after them.
Hearing the footsteps that were tracking him, Nangong Ji couldn't believe that the mosquitoes had been eliminated so quickly. He tried to summon the swarm of mosquitoes from before, but there was no response for a while. Thinking that the distance was too far, he slowly blew out a sound to summon a new swarm of mosquitoes.
Yang Jianwu prepared insecticide as soon as she could see the mosquitoes. "You little punks, I'll kill as many as you bring!"
One spray of insecticide in a ring killed most of them, and another spray wiped out all the new swarms of mosquitoes! The only evidence left was a pile of dead mosquitoes.
Nangong Ji was now in a panic. He quickly covered his face with a cloth, stopped in his tracks, and stared at Yang Jianwu, demanding, "Who exactly are you?!"
Instead of answering, Yang Jianwu asked, "Who are you?"
"Hmph, little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Yang Jianwu shook her index finger. "No, no, no, your actions have caused me trouble, so it's not meddling!"
Nangong Ji realized he wouldn't get any answers from the question, so he used the rat-controlling whistle taught by the Imperial Preceptor to summon the nearby rats. This time, there was no need to plan a route, and naturally, less effort was wasted, resulting in a higher controllable number!
Upon hearing the familiar whistle, Yang Jianwu guessed that the person who had poisoned the prefect's residence and escaped was the same person who had done so! Seeing seven or eight rats approaching only confirmed his suspicions!
"It's you!"
Nangong Ji still couldn't recall when he had met Yang Jianwu. "Miss, where exactly did we meet? If I had seen a woman as beautiful as you before, I certainly wouldn't forget her!"
Stop with the smooth talk! If you don't want to reveal your identity, then let's prove our skills and the winner takes all!
Yang Jianwu avoided the rats and went to find Nangong Ji. She signaled Xiao Jin to use its nature to suppress the rats so they dared not come forward. She then said to Puyang Xuan and Mo Ye, "I'll deal with these two first. You two can handle the rats. Come and help after you're done!"
Puyang Xuan looked at those drab, grayish creatures and got goosebumps, imagining the ground littered with mangled limbs. "Wu, don't you have anything to deal with rats?"
Yang Jianwu raised her hand slightly. "Yes, I have it!"
Mo Ye glanced at Puyang Xuan with disdain, "Is he any use? He's even afraid of mice!"
"Who said I'm scared? It's just disgusting..." After saying that, the two used their swords to kill the rat.
The rats were being manipulated; they were swift and extremely cunning. Puyang Xuan couldn't stand the little creatures any longer, so he took out his whistle to summon Yingbao!
Eagle Baby happened to be foraging nearby and arrived quickly.
Puyang Xuan cleaved a rat in two as it attacked, and then excitedly waved to Yingbao, "Come here, Yingbao, there's something delicious here!"
