Chapter 67: The Left Path

  "Why?" Ye Feng immediately turned his head towards Zhen Zhu just as he was about to continue shooting.

  "I know why he didn't attack you last night, because he spent the whole night concocting a plot!" Pearl stared at the snake corpse, "He fed those snakes another kind of poison, which when mixed with snake blood produces an extremely potent toxin that can enter the human body through pores... Do you see the black powdery substance in that puddle of snake blood?"

  "You're saying he spent the whole night feeding poison to these snakes just for this morning's ambush on us?" Ye Feng finally understood why that guy didn't make a move when they were most exhausted, because he wasn't confident. As long as Ye Feng took out the canopy used to protect everyone, he wouldn't have any chance.

  "That's right, but feeding them poison doesn't take much time, he just needs to add the poison to their food and they'll all rush to swallow the poisoned food. This slow-acting poison actually causes great damage to the snakes' hearts, usually it takes more than eight hours for the poison to merge with their blood. But within twenty-four hours of taking the poison, their hearts will burst and die. However, during this period, they will become extremely aggressive." Pearl explained.

  "If we can't get rid of them by force, what should we do?" Yefeng heard Zhenzhu say this and didn't know how to respond either.

  "I have a way," Pearl said, taking out a small bag from her carrying pack. She sprinkled the yellow powder around everyone in a circle, then took out a wooden flute from her backpack.

  "What do you want to do?" Long Tian frowned slightly.

  Zhenzhu glanced at Long Tian and Ye Feng, put the short flute to her lips, and began to blow out a strange rhythm.

  Ye Feng and others around the snakes more and more, but they never dare to approach that yellow line.

  "Is she playing a flute for these snakes?" Qing Lang asked in a low voice beside him.

  Just then, a strange noise came from the window. Ye Feng and others looked over and saw a scorpion crawling across the window.

  Soon, those scorpions began crawling in from outside the house and engaged in a fierce battle with the snakes.

  "She's playing the flute, and is able to control those scorpions?" Qing Lang stared with wide eyes at the scene before him.

  But Pearl had finally stopped playing at this moment, and let those scorpions and snakes fight together into a ball. She collapsed weakly to the ground.

  Ye Feng quickly supported her, "What's going on?"

  "I'm fine, just a bit weak in the body, and playing this has consumed quite a bit of internal energy..." Pearl shook her head.

  "Is this the reinforcement you called for?" Ye Feng laughed and said.

  "That's right, my scorpions are immune to this poison, let them handle it!" Pearl smiled and nodded.

  "I now know why others call you a snake and scorpion beauty." Ye Feng pointed to the snakes and scorpions filling the room.

  "Oh, I can take it as a compliment from you?" Pearl's mouth corners slightly rose.

  At this time, there was a knock at the door.

  Ye Feng and others looked at Qing Lang with a surprised expression.

  "Who is it?" The green wolf also hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

  "I didn't think that woman would be here, completely disrupting my plan. Originally, this time was supposed to be when I could take care of you all..." A slightly hoarse man's voice came from outside the door.

  "Really you? Zuo Dao!" Pearl looked vigilantly at the doorway with a face full of alertness.

  "That's right, I've come this time to avenge my own son!" The voice from the doorway was clearly filled with uncontrollable anger.

  "Your son? Are you out of your mind?! He's just your disciple!" Pearl thought that Zuo Dao was a bit mentally unstable.

  "That's right, he is my apprentice and also my biological son......" Zuo Dao's voice gradually calmed down. "More than 20 years ago, in order to conduct a living experiment, I kidnapped a female disciple from Emei. I took her back to my residence, stripped off her clothes, originally intending to perform a vivisection... But for some reason, when I saw her naked body, I suddenly felt an overwhelming lust. I had never felt that way about any other body before... After being with her, I was suddenly struck by inspiration - I wanted her to give birth to a child for me. I wanted to conduct an experiment on her and have her give birth to a congenitally poisonous fetus. I would teach this congenitally poisonous fetus to become the greatest poison master in the world."

  "I performed an artificial insemination surgery on her, and then injected different toxins into her body every day to keep her in a state of unconsciousness. The fetus grew bigger and bigger in her belly, and after more than nine months, the fetus finally matured. I cut open the woman's abdomen and took out the fetus I wanted..."

  "The congenitally poisonous fetus I wanted has been born, and I will raise him day by day, teaching him different poisonous techniques, never telling him that I am his father..."

  "You're a seriously warped freak!" Pearl finally couldn't bear to listen anymore.

  "As far as I know, your father seems to have done something similar before?" Zuo Dao's voice clearly entered the ears of everyone.

  "Shut up, you beast!!!" Pearl panted violently.

  "There are quite a few beauties on Mount Emei, if it weren't for your father's inspiration, I wouldn't have thought of going to Emei to find women..." Zuo Dao's voice still came drifting over.

  "Shut up!!!" Pearl shouted hysterically.

  "I know a lot about you, your mother was the youngest daughter of the Emei sect's leader, she was kidnapped by that man and suffered all sorts of humiliation, being locked in a cage and subjected to inhumane experiments. You were forcibly taken from your mother's womb after about seven months, just because that man suddenly thought of a way to cultivate Gu worms, putting them inside pregnant women to gestate... Luckily, you were found by a trash collector after being thrown away, and managed to survive."

  "When you were just over a year old, that trash-collecting old man starved to death in order to raise you. Then you were sent to an orphanage until the age of five. Your father accidentally learned about your situation and took you back to the organization. He thought that you had the same dirty blood flowing through your veins as him and believed that you could become a tool for him to kill people... He implanted a bug in you to control you, then taught you poisonous techniques... letting you kill innocent people, erasing your conscience. Everything he did was to make you become someone like him, unfortunately, this time's events made him very disappointed..."

  Pearl collapsed weakly to the ground, and many things that even she herself did not know were cruelly revealed. She didn't suspect the truth of the matter at all, because many descriptions matched the facts she knew perfectly. It's just that now she knows more.

  Ever since she inadvertently found out that her father was that man, she had been resenting her mother for not taking her with her... Now she finally knew that the person who was supposed to be her mother was actually more pitiful than herself.

  "I have some good news to tell you, one minute ago, the people chasing you are standing next to me, your father is also here...... after the battle of the snake and scorpion is over, it will be the death date for Ye Feng and Long Tian!" Zuo Dao's disgusting voice sounded again.
