201 Pear Blossom Storm Needles (1/2)
”What a close call!”
After All-powerful Medicinal Stone, Thunderous Battle, and Little North listened to Happy's orders and ran into the other cave, they found that there was no one who actually chased after them. They released breaths of relief, but at the same time, they felt that there was something really strange about the situation.
Why did it suddenly become quiet behind them? It was so quiet that it was a little weird.
In the beginning, the trio thought that the people from the two sects were just worried that they would use the terrain to launch an ambush on them, but as time passed, they finally sensed that something was off.
Little North reacted the fastest.
When he linked the situation to the metallic item Happy had thrown behind him and Happy's relaxed and contented expression, his eyes lit up slightly, and a hint of surprise and delight showed up on his face.
”Pear Blossom Storm Needles!”
”What?”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone and Thunderous Battle were both stunned. They looked at the duo in puzzlement.
Happy smiled faintly.
”Pear Blossom Storm Needles are Tang Sect's top-grade hidden weapon. They can easily destroy the true qi that protects the body, but they're only effective on martial artists that are below Life and Death Realm. It covers an area of 164 feet, and in such a small room, even Universal Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to save them[1]!”
While speaking, Happy walked out from behind a wall and returned to the previous cave under the trio's shocked gazes.
The trio followed behind him with puzzlement. Then, they were instantly stunned. There were twenty or so corpses left in the cave, and they were in all sorts of postures from before they had died. The ground was covered in streams of blood.
There were also black, fine needles as thin as cow's hair covering the walls like a carpet. The walls and ceiling shone with a dark light, creating an incredibly strange and terrifying sight.
Disbelief and shock showed up on the trio's faces.
A group of elites at the peak of Blessed Realm and a few Mystical Realm players who were in Dragon Rank were all killed without a sound by one hidden weapon…
”Are the hidden weapons from Tang Sect so good?!”
When he noticed that he was safe, All-powerful Medicinal Stone regained his usual wild and unruly mannerisms. With an exaggerated expression, he reached out to touch the fine needles on the wall, but the next moment, he retracted his hand.
”This thing isn't poisonous, right?”
”You can try and touch it, then you'll know.”
Happy smiled and crouched down near a corpse. He searched through their Universe Bag and took out a bunch of gold notes. The smile on his face grew brighter.
The corpse belonged to Solitary Perpetual Joy. As the leader of a famous sect, he had quite a lot of gold notes on his person. Even though he would only drop 50% of his money after he died, Happy still received forty thousand taels of gold crumbs, which meant that it was equivalent to four hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. He had earned big.
”Tsk, tsk. He sure is rich.”
When he saw Happy crouch down to pick up the gold notes and silver notes from the corpses, All-powerful Medicinal Stone drooled over the money, but when Happy suggested he pick up the spoils of war as well, All-powerful Medicinal Stone immediately put on a scornful expression and spoke in a righteous manner.
”Don't think of me as someone who is easily moved by money. As the first generation successor of Marvelous-handed Sect, I will only steal from the living, never the dead. I still have that amount of pride.”
Little North stared at All-powerful Medicinal Stone in wordless admiration.
Thunderous Battle said that they had only been able to defeat all these elites from the two great sects because of Pear Blossom Storm Needles. He would not divide the spoils of war that were earned by Happy alone.
Happy did not force them.
