Chapter 441: Old Witch

Under the leadership of the old woman, Yang Ling came to a courtyard-like house. The tables and chairs were basically made of tough and wear-resistant rosewood. The floor was paved with a flat layer of black sandstone, and a tree was planted around the yard.

There is a low breadfruit tree; there are many colorful flowers and saplings planted in the vegetable garden, which are fragrant and refreshing.

"Mr. Yuri, please sit down!" The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were overlapping, revealing her age like the growth rings of an old piece of wood. "Lucy, give the guest a glass of Hennessy!"

"Well, grandma, it'll be ready soon!" The little girl next to the old woman responded softly, and quickly poured a glass of wine from the wine jar in the corner, and brought it to Yang Ling as briskly as a bird, "This

Hennessy is brewed by our tribe from herbs, flower essences and high-quality grapes, and it tastes very good!”

A pair of tender white calves are exposed under the pure white dress, the waterfall-like long golden shawl hair flutters in the wind, and the delicate face has two sweet dimples when she smiles... Although the girl named Lucy

She is only fourteen years old at most, and is less than the shoulder height of an adult, but it is obvious that she is a beautiful embryo who will be stunning when she grows up.

"Thank you!" After smiling, Yang Ling took the Hennessy from the girl Lucy's hand and took a sip gently. The spice was unique, as fragrant as the green forest after the rain, lingering on the tip of the tongue for a long time, leaving traces of rich fruit.

Aroma. It doesn’t have the stamina of vodka, and it doesn’t have the aroma of rum, but it has a different taste.

"The tribe hasn't had a guest for a long time, Lucy, use the goblet to give the guest another drink!" Seeing Yang Ling nodding appreciatively while tasting the wine, the smile on the old woman's face became even brighter, she stood up tremblingly, and got out of the cupboard.

Take out one

A glass-like crystal clear goblet. After wiping it with a white silk scarf, he turned around and handed it to the little girl next to him. A traceless sneer flashed by, and was quickly replaced by a kind one.

His smile aroused Yang Ling's alertness.

An ordinary person would definitely be confused by her smile; however, as a soul wizard, Yang Ling's senses were extremely keen and he quickly caught the sneer on the old woman's face.

Could it be that there is poison in the wine glass or silk scarf?

Under doubt, he did not dare to be careless, pretending to wipe the mud on his shoes, quietly took out a few drops of life spring water from the space ring, drank it, and swallowed a few antidote pills refined by Alice, which can cure hundreds of poisons. Actions

He quickly concealed himself without attracting anyone's attention. He then took the goblet handed over by the little girl and pretended to take a sip as if nothing had happened, but secretly he quickly activated his body-protecting witchcraft power to avoid any accidents.

Sure enough, this time, the so-called fine wine was slightly different from last time. It didn't look abnormal, the color was exactly the same, and there was no difference in the smell, but after holding it in your mouth for a while, there was more on the tip of your tongue.

A slight tingling feeling. If I hadn’t advanced to a high-level magic witch and had a keen sense, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to detect this subtle difference no matter how careful I was. In shock, I silently recited the poison witch mantra and used my body-protecting witch power to refine the wine contained in it.

Unnamed poison.

For a long time, although his talent in cultivating poison witches was far inferior to that of Alice, and his time spent in this area was extremely limited, as a powerful witch, Yang Ling was confident that there would be no difficulty in refining this unknown poison.

plus drink before

With the spring water of life and the antidote refined by Alice, there would be no problem even if he drank the entire glass of poisonous wine. With no fear, he remained calm and did not reveal the opponent's trick immediately. He continued to watch calmly.

Be prepared to see what tricks the other party is playing.

"Mr. Yuri, if I remember correctly, you should be the last outsider to enter our tribe in the past few decades!" Seeing that Yang Ling didn't know that he had fallen into the trap, he drank the poisonous Hennessy in one mouthful, and the old woman smiled with a smile on her face.

, "Are you wondering why our tribe is not attacked by woodchucks? Why is there not even a man in our tribe?"

The show was about to begin. Yang Ling followed the trend and pretended to be confused and said: "Yes, there are so many woodchucks in the Ural Mountains. In their madness, even the holy guardian warriors around me can't stop them. Outside.

There are densely packed woodchucks everywhere, and I really can’t figure out why they don’t dare to come into the valley. Don’t they have any interest in the sweet breadfruit in the valley?”

"Hey, they really don't dare to come in. Without Gaelya Mountain's order, no woodchuck would dare to approach our tribe!" Maybe it was Yang Ling's words that hurt his feet, or maybe he remembered some unbearable past events,

The old woman gritted her teeth, "For hundreds of years, no woodchuck has dared to cause trouble in our tribe, but who knows the price? Do you know how much we have paid for the inheritance of the tribe?"

Maybe she thought that Yang Ling couldn't escape from her control after being poisoned, or maybe she was depressed for hundreds of years and had nowhere to vent. The old woman's face changed, revealing her true face. She gritted her teeth, her eyes were cold and ruthless, and she didn't look like a kind old woman at all.

The old witch who has lived for thousands of years.

"Grandma, don't be angry, don't talk anymore!" Seeing that the old woman was pale with anger, the girl Lucy said and gave her a considerate pat on the back. Her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they could well up like spring water at any time.

come out.

"Tomorrow is the last day. If you don't tell me now, you may never have the chance!" The old woman smiled coldly and continued.

It turned out that in order to escape the scourge of war, their ancestors moved the entire tribe southward from the distant Draa Empire and found this hidden valley in the Ural Mountains to settle down. Relying on the rich resources in the mountains, they lived a peaceful and stable life for two years.

, Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Not long after living there for a few years, a group of terrifying high-level woodchucks came near the tribe and captured the men who went hunting one by one.

At first, people thought they were just encountering a group of hungry woodchucks, so they narrowed the scope of their hunting and even made a living by growing breadfruit and various vegetables and fruits in the valley. Unexpectedly, even behind closed doors,

Still, the terrifying woodchucks still came to visit. They turned a blind eye to fresh breadfruit, vegetables and other food, and specifically captured strong young men. They never took the initiative to attack the women and children of the tribe. On the contrary, they helped them to stop them.

Other monsters that hunt in the valley.

After the same thing repeated many times, people quickly found the pattern. Basically, these terrifying high-level woodchucks would come every other month, only grabbing an adult male each time, and never causing trouble in the valley; however,

, and people are not allowed to leave the valley. Anyone who breaks out without authorization will be immediately swarmed by a large group of woodchucks and bitten to death. It feels like everyone has become a prey of woodchucks in captivity; although it sounds incredible.

, but as time goes by, people become more and more certain of their guesses.

When they first moved to the valley, there were more than a thousand people in the tribe. However, as the number of young men decreased, the number of offspring they conceived became smaller and smaller, slowly forming a vicious cycle, with the number of tribesmen increasing year by year.

Young. Slowly, the target of catching high-level woodchucks was expanded to all males, starting from

Children to old men with gray beards were all spared. The time interval was also extended from one month to two months, three months..., until a full three years. After three years, if the tribe cannot hand over a

The male woodchuck went on a killing spree, tearing a dozen women into pieces and swallowing them in public.

"So, you are going to hand me over in exchange for the peace of your tribe for three years?" Under the old woman's explanation, Yang Ling quickly understood what was going on. Thinking of what she said about tomorrow being the last day, she immediately thought of the viciousness of the other party.

idea.

"Hehe, that's right. If you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself for barging in at this time!" The old woman smiled sinisterly and said coldly: "If it were a few decades ago that we met a strong man like you, maybe we would have

They will keep you and mate with the widows to see if they can give birth to a few more boys. Now, there is no choice. Even if you give birth to a few more boys, you can only live a few more years! If you don't take advantage of the situation,

If you rush out when the rat is in turmoil, you will never have another chance again!"

For more than a hundred years, the tribe was not without resistance. They rushed out several times regardless of casualties. However, each time they were unable to break out of the heavy siege of the marmots. In desperation, they had to continue to stay in the valley, hoping that something would happen one day.

Miracle.

However, when there were many people in the past, there was still hope to survive, but now there are only more than a hundred women left in the tribe, and there are no men left. If we don’t grit our teeth and take a gamble, we may never have the chance to rush out. After the unprecedented heavy rain

, many woodchucks lost their survival caves and stored food. When they were hungry, they not only attacked the monsters in the forest, but also attacked each other crazily. The situation was chaotic. After living for so long, the old woman understood that this was the tribe rushing out.

The best time.

Originally, she was worried that she would not be prepared in time, and did not know how to deal with the woodchucks that would arrive tomorrow to visit the tribe's dignitaries. After Yang Ling accidentally broke into the valley, she gave her a huge opportunity. All she had to do was hand Yang Ling over.

, then you will have more time to prepare for rushing out.

"You have been poisoned by our poison. Without an antidote, even a giant dragon is powerless. Hey, stop struggling in vain!" The old woman said as she took out a bundle of tough thick vines from the corner.

Prepare to tie up the poisoned Yang Ling.

Kill her, or simply use the trick to sneak into the woodchuck's base camp?

Looking at the old woman who thought her conspiracy had succeeded, Yang Ling deliberately pretended to be weak and let the crystal goblet fall to the ground and break into pieces, creating the illusion of being poisoned. After being fully prepared, the old woman's poison had no effect on him.

influence; as long as there is a sudden attack, he has 100%

It is not difficult to kill the opponent with certainty, or even slaughter the entire opponent's tribe. The problem is that the high-level woodchucks that have been tamed do not have specific information about the Woodchuck King in their memory, and they want to find the Woodchuck King quickly and tame it.
