Chapter 147 - 143: Live and Die With Her
After dinner, one of Jin Tong’s subordinates came to collect the evening’s pills.
When the sky turned completely dark, Su Mo lay down to sleep. She got up in the middle of the night.
It was quiet outside.
The two Beastmen at the door were slumped over, looking as if they had fallen asleep.
Su Mo calmly opened the door and walked out, preparing to start a fire.
But before she could light the object in her hand, a red glow suddenly illuminated the night outside!
Little Nine: "Host, it seems someone beat you to it. Could it be the ones waiting at the foot of the mountain?"
Su Mo frowned. "Whatever. I’ll just add more fuel to the fire."
The moment she threw the object in her hand, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
"Host, hide! Quickly!"
Su Mo found a dark corner to conceal herself.
She saw Lin Shan gathering his men and heading toward Jin Tong’s room.
Little Nine: "Why is Lin Shan unaffected?!"
Su Mo: "...I’d love to know that too!"
A moment later, she saw Jin Tong walk out.
"Sect Leader, we’ve been ambushed! The water source was poisoned, and many of our people on the mountain are afflicted. They need Detoxification Pills as soon as possible. I’ve captured one of Jiang Wu’s people! The group at the foot of the mountain is already attacking. The situation is not in our favor."
Jin Tong said in a low voice, "First, go and bring Su Mo to me!"
"Yes!"
Su Mo gritted her teeth as she listened.
’That bastard! Even at a time like this, he’s still thinking about me?!’
Su Mo lifted her skirts and quietly ran along her pre-planned escape route.
She then stripped a Beastman of his clothes, changed into them, tied up her hair, and continued toward her next destination.
The most important thing right now was to hide her tracks. Once Mo Xiao and his men broke through, she would naturally be able to escape.
Although she didn’t know why Jin Tong and Lin Shan weren’t poisoned, the poisoned soldiers on the mountain were certainly enough to give Jin Tong a headache!
When Lin Shan burst into Su Mo’s room, he discovered that the woman had long since fled.
Jin Tong’s brow furrowed. "She can’t have left the mountain yet. Seal the exits!"
Just as Lin Shan was about to order his men to go, someone came from outside to report, "Sir, the attack from the base of the mountain is fierce! We can barely hold on!"
Jin Tong pulled a pouch of antidote from his waist. "Give this to the strongest fighters first!"
Then he turned his head to Lin Shan and said, "Go to my room and bring the rest of the antidote. We’ll make do for now."
Soon, the man who had left returned. "It’s no use! The poison is too strong. They’re conscious, but they have no strength!"
Jin Tong’s face was grim, the veins on his neck bulging.
Damn it!
He pulled out another pouch of medicine and threw it over. "Have them take this."
Lin Shan, emerging from the study, frowned as he watched the attendant leave with the pouch of medicine.
He knew what that medicine was. It could allow someone to break through their physical limits for a short time, greatly increasing their combat power, but it came at a great cost to the body.
But right now, it seemed there was no better way.
"Find Su Mo as fast as you can! Bring her to me! I’m going to tear her to pieces with my own hands!"
Lin Shan’s gaze flickered. "Sect Leader, if this continues, it will be very bad for us!"
Jin Tong’s eyes darkened. "Go find Jiang Wu and ask for her assistance."
Lin Shan frowned. "Her people started the fire! She’s just waiting to wipe us all out in one fell swoop. Why would she possibly be willing to help us?!"
"You go and tell her..."
Jin Tong leaned in and whispered a few words in Lin Shan’s ear, causing Lin Shan’s expression to change drastically.
Jin Tong’s brows were knit. "Tell her exactly that. She will definitely come!"
Lin Shan nodded and leaped away.
At the foot of the mountain.
After seeing the firelight on the mountain, Mo Xiao and his men launched a direct assault up the path.
They had already checked the river at the base of the mountain and found traces of poison—the handiwork of their wife, they figured.
Jin Tong was adept at choosing terrain that was easy to defend and hard to attack, but fortunately, they had strength in numbers!
In the shadows.
Jiang Wu was currently holding a calico cat, a knowing smile gracing her lips as she watched the fierce assault on the mountain below.
"How exciting."
The cat in her arms let out a "MEOW" before fawningly rubbing against her palm.
Then, it leaped gracefully to the ground, transformed into a human, and leaned close to Jiang Wu, saying softly, "Tonight, neither Jin Tong nor Su Mo’s fiancés will meet a graveless end."
All they had to do now was wait for the two groups to wear each other out, then wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
"Once we take care of this group, you will be one step closer to unifying the Beast World."
Jiang Wu gave a cold laugh and asked, "Are our people outside all in position?"
"Of course." Ai Ci looked at the woman before him with anticipation and asked, "Wife, after this is all over, can I become your main husband?"
Jiang Wu glanced at him, her expression devoid of emotion. "We’ll see."
Among her countless Beast Husbands, Ai Ci, the cat, was the most obedient.
