"How can he be so resistant with that terrible odor?" Lin's voice came out between the hands closing her mouth.
"Maybe he has an antidote for it. He is Xie Wang's Fangshi who is in charge of making deadly poisons," explained Zhu Su.
"Oh, I see. No wonder he wants to get the chance to do killing." Wu Qi nid-nodded. "But Your Highness, is it safe to accept someone like that to be your subordinate? That kid looks a bit abnormal. After all, he is once Xie Wang's subordinate, and moreover he is in charge of a terrible thing!"
"It's exactly because he's dangerous, then I can't let him be Xie Wang's man. With him on our side, we can control him from committing a crime, and also break one of Xie Wang's ultimate weapons. Actually, I also feel worried... but we must be sure that we will be able to control him, right?"
Wu Qi turned silent. Zhu Su's idea sounded great, but at the same time, it had a very high risk. It was the same as controlling a wild animal. Just make a little mistake and it will instead attack ourselves. Wu Qi glanced at the nine new members of the Team of Wellbeing, thought in confusion, Even nine of them have a bad record by making all of us overwhelmed, then what will happen with this abnormal kid?...
"Liu Ku has wasted a long time only to take the antidote, whereas we have to get out of here as soon as possible." After waiting for about five minutes, Xue Mei stomped her feet nervously.
"Take it easy, Xue Mei. That kid is correct, no one is here," Di Na assured her.
The wind suddenly blew very hard, blowing on a large barrel that immediately fell down and made a noisy thud. They jumped.
"Huh, it's only the falling barrel!" Lin grumbled.
"Even though it is vacant, but this silence really brings the chill to the air!" Xue Mei muttered. Seconds later, her eyes went huge. Her cold sweat immediately flowed out. "T... t... that..."
In front of them, two Xie Wang's soldiers were standing tall, staring back at them in surprise.
Payloth quickly became responsive. He sped forward, and before one of them shouted, he had beaten both of them onto the ground.
"Stun them, Payloth, stun them!" Qing screamed in panic.
"Who are you?! How do you enter here?!?..." The soldier's scream was cut off. Payloth managed to hit the soldier until he was unconscious.
Panting, Payloth now headed to the iron trellis door. He got his nose near to the door, then shouted, "Liu Ku! Have you found the antidote?! Come on, hurry up! Someone has appeared here!"
No reply.
"What the hell is going on with that kid?..." Payloth got shocked again. The other soldiers had appeared, this time one of them was carrying a weapon.
"Who are you?!" Xie Wang's men shouted. On the other hand, knowing that Payloth would face difficulty if he fought the enemy only by himself, Wu Qi soon gave help. They were immediately involved in the battle.
"Your Highness! I'm really worried that it is all the trap used by that kid!" Xiong said. "We'd better get out of here. Too dangerous!"
Zhu Su kept watching Wu Qi who was kicking his enemy and Payloth who had just dropped a guard. His brain was thinking hard. Liu Ku did not appear to lie, but his manner was indeed suspicious. And if it was Xie Wang's dirty work, there should have been a large number of troops waiting for them, thence they would be easily defeated and got caught. What if Liu Ku really intended to give him the antidote? If he went away now, then as Liu Ku said, if his father died, it was all his fault.
One of the soldiers kicked Wu Qi's stomach, made him hunch over.
"I must help Wu Qi!" Watching Wu Qi started to wobbly, Rui soon rushed forward.
"Me too!" Han Zhong followed Rui.
Now four of them came to fight, it became easier to defeat the enemy. Actually, Han Zhong and Rui did not master martial arts, what they only had was big power. Yet finally they succeeded in defeating the enemy.
"I will go inside to find that kid!" Payloth made up his mind. "Now we win, but if later more powerful soldiers come, maybe we will lose!"
"You stay here, protect the Prince! And, you too!" Liao Zhan and Lin quickly suggested. "Let us enter inside, because only God knows whether there will be more soldiers or not!"
"But... the room inside is so nauseating!"
"All we have to do is just closing our nose, and it's done! But if mighty enemies come, we can't fight them for sure."
Liao Zhan and Lin immediately took their handkerchieves, closed their noses tightly. Then stepped nearer to the iron trellis door.
"What are you going to do?" Suddenly Liu Ku had been out of the room. His hand was carrying a huge fabric bag that seemed full and heavy.
"We are just about to catch you up."
"Ah... no need to do so! Besides, you won't survive inside a room filled with poison. You will die soon," Liu Ku turned around. "Hurry up, we have to go out as soon as possible. It's terrible if Xie Wang and his army have returned and we're still here."
It's indeed our main purpose of catching you up! Don't you see the soldiers lying there?! They grumbled angrily in their minds. But because Liu Ku only focused on getting out of Xie Wang's headquarters, of course, he did not see the soldiers who were now collapsed and lay on the floor. And since they did not want to keep fighting anymore, of course they agreed to get out of here as fast as possible.
