Chapter 382: Tongue Replacement Poison

Chapter 382: Tongue Replacement Poison

Seeing the young girl's shocked expression, Hu Ma decided to sit down beside her. He grabbed her palm and poured a Blood Pellet into it.

Fearing that she might not eat it, he also poured one into his own palm and swallowed it.

With a little psychological suggestion, the girl named Wu Ya seemed to think that the Blood Pellet must be eaten. She looked dazed and, imitating Hu Ma, stuffed the Blood Pellet into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks.

Hu Ma relaxed, knowing that the sorcerers in the camp naturally had some abilities, but their foundations were shallow, and their influence was weak. They rarely interacted with the outside world, so they rarely encountered such superior nourishing substances like Blood Pellets. He believed this could help build a closer relationship between them.

As he was thinking, he turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Can you speak Mandarin?"

"Caution?" Wu Ya tentatively spoke, blushing slightly. "I've never left the forest, and my father doesn't allow me to talk to outsiders. So, I'm not very good at it."

"But I used to speak with my elder brother, and his Mandarin is even better than my father's. I learned from him."

"..."

Hu Ma could tell that she did indeed know how to speak Mandarin, but she rarely spoke, and her tone was a bit odd. However, with her beautiful and adorable appearance, this strange Mandarin had a unique charm.

"You're already speaking very well. If you speak more with others, even we won't be able to tell you're not a native speaker."

Hu Ma smiled and chatted with her, "Do all of you learn Mandarin? Did your elder brother learn it from your father?"

"My brother has always known it." Wu Ya thought for a moment and replied, "He always wanted to go out more, but I don't know why he never did. My father was always angry with him, and they stopped talking a long time ago."

"Then..."

As Hu Ma chatted with the girl, his heart stirred. Slowly, he said, "Today, you mentioned that your elder brother seems like a terrifying person..."

After asking this question, Wu Ya suddenly fell silent.

She seemed a bit down, but she didn't refute it. After a while, she spoke softly, "Everyone in the camp is afraid of my brother. They say he's harmful, but he's always been kind to me. However, it's been a long time since I last saw him."

"The last time I went into the forest to find him, he didn't want to see me and told me to leave quickly."

"..."

'It's time...'

Hu Ma could sense the girl's emotions and carefully asked the most crucial question, "So, now that your father wants to craft a poison and kill your brother, what do you think?"

"My brother..." Wu Ya's expression became flustered when faced with Hu Ma's blunt question. Her eyes welled up with a hint of agitated redness. After a pause, she said, "I..."

Hu Ma anxiously awaited her response.

To discern who was lying between Wugong Clan Leader and Monkey Wine, Wu Ya was the most suitable person. Both had portrayed each other as the most evil, but only Wu Ya knew who was truly wicked.

This was the most direct and effective method Hu Ma could think of.

It was evident that when asked this question, Wu Ya's expression became flustered, as if she wanted to speak but held back. Just as Hu Ma was about to get the answer, Wu Ya bowed her head slightly and suddenly said,

"I want to help my father."

"Wu Song, my brother, he's been kind to me, but he's not good to others. He likes to kill and craft poisons. He's killed so many people..."

"My father has also advised him many times not to kill, saying that we sorcerers are few and weak. If we offend outsiders, we'll be driven away or even killed..."

"But my brother never listens. He's been killing more and more. He's... he's gone mad, to the point where everyone in our camp is afraid of him..."

"Even the Shaman God has issued a decree to kill him..."

"This time, my father is serious. Before coming, he asked for heart blood from the clan members and assured them that he would definitely kill my brother. He promised that the people in the camp would no longer have to fear his poison crafting or the disasters he might bring upon us..."

"..."

"Hmm?"

As Hu Ma listened to Wu Ya, he felt something was amiss. Instinctively, he glanced at her, and his pupils trembled slightly.

Now, except for some missing Blood Pellets, his ascension to the manor was complete. His seven apertures and five senses were naturally beyond question, and his vision had improved significantly after the death-to-life training.

Even though it was night and Wu Ya was still looking down, Hu Ma caught a glimpse of her face as she spoke. Her expression flickered with a hint of panic and pain.

Most crucially, her mouth movements didn't match her words, creating an uncanny sensation like an out-of-sync movie.

As he focused, Hu Ma was even more startled to see that Wu Ya's tongue had, at some point, transformed into a forked snake-like appendage.

This forked tongue trembled, producing the sounds of her speech.

In the usual conversation, it was easy to tell, except for her non-standard speech, which was now covered up. If not for her exceptional eyesight, she couldn’t even spot the oddities now.

"Hmm..."

He did not make any rash moves, but silently listened as Wu Ya finished speaking, then slowly nodded his head and said, "I understand, this is what we Han"

Wu Ya silently nodded, still not raising her head to look at Hu Ma.

"It’s not early, you should rest earlier, helping your father refine this Toxin to prevent your elder brother from making more mistakes..."

Hu Ma did not say more, smiled, got up, and said goodbye back to the room, after turning to close the door, his expression gradually changed, turning around the door crack, looking outside, he spotted Wu ya still standing there, a bit at a loss, gazing at the nearby shack.

"Is this another skill?"

In the room, Hu Ma was already anxiously thinking, "Even while talking, can a person's tongue be switched?"

"Speaking through another's mouth, saying what you want to say yourself?"

"..."

He had seen not a few doors, but this peculiar scene once again, thinking of the monkey wine’s so-called unified Toxin.

Since Wu ya didn't originally intend to say this, then what she wanted to say is what? why at this juncture, did she borrow wuya's mouth to say these?

others wouldn't know the secret between you and monkey wine, but others might suspect, thinking of this Red Lantern Society member, possibly doubting this matter, to make oneself feel at ease, isn't it?"

Even so, the matter is simple...

He deeply breathed, sat back at the bed’s edge, pulling the sawtooth from the pillow’s bundle, the situation is now bizarre, but the Year-End Guardian deals with matters straightforwardly.

"Manager Hu..."

Just then, someone knocked at the door, cautiously, Hu Hu ma nodded, holding the saber, turned around, "come in!"

The door was pushed open, in walked Zhuang Mine Chief and his two disciples, Hu Ma saw them with a killing aura, obviously startled, they jumped in surprise, hastily saying to Hu Ma, "There is something to discuss with you..."

"the Wu Clan Leader is now worshipping the toxin, but he said the red lantern outside is affecting the progress of the toxin, can we temporarily take down the red lantern...?

"wait for him to finish refining the toxin, and then we’ll kill that Wu song when the time comes, and then we’ll hang it back up..."

"..."

"Red lantern?"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled, sheathed the saber in the sheath, and said, "Let's go together."

They directly followed him to the hut before the valley, and saw the Wu Clan Leader holding a hundred toxin pot, sitting before the toxin altar, dark and unclear in the dim light.

The young woman and the pale-faced youth stood on either side of the altar, silently looking out of the valley.

"Manager, after we take down the red lantern, I can also start worshipping the toxin."

The youth with the pale face said in a low voice, "But taking down the red lantern, Wu song will definitely attack us, he will know I am refining the toxin, and will certainly try to stop him."

"the young woman and I can deal with the toxin, but our skills are weaker, and during the refinement, I cannot attack, I’ll need your skills as a Year-end guardian to "...

"..."

Hu ma focused, and saw the pale-faced youth, who was expressionless and silent, standing before the altar. the young woman, however, was quietly saying, "Just do a good job, the red lantern will not mind such a small thing."

"..."

saying this, he glanced at the surrounding youth, who was light as a ghost, and leaped the red lantern, and then the young woman's face gradually changed, sheathing the saber into the sheath, and said, "There is something to discuss with you..."

the youth with the pale face silently nodded, and they both turned to look at the valley entrance, where a black crow flew out of the forest, and a strange sound echoed from the distance.

The Wu Clan Leader was close to the nose, suddenly smelling the foul and putrid smell, and was instantly alarmed, shouting, "Quickly move away, that thing is what injured me before..."
