Without peeling off the skin, he stuffed the garlic clove into his mouth. A pungent smell rushed to his head, causing him to tear up. The taste was incomparable to all the other delicacies grown by the expert. Needless to say, it possessed extraordinary benefits and amazing effects.
‘I’m saved! thought Yang Jing.
Everyone watched with cold eyes as Yang Jing’s vitality leaked away while smirking to themselves. Even a half-step Wisdom Dictator would suffer under the poisonous gas, let alone Yang Jing who was only a third-step Wisdom Elite. They were sure he would not survive until his next turn, for what could a clove of measly garlic do to save him?
Yang Jing chewed on the garlic. He did not have any good words to say about the taste, but the effect was really amazing. His entire body heated up and he began to quickly recover all the vitality he had lost to the poison. Moreover, the garlic drove all the poison down along his meridians, his stomach, and finally his butt.
“Gah! I can’t hold it in anymore! The poison wants out!” Yang Jing’s face flushed red, and then his butt cheeks parted to let out a tremendously loud fart.
TOOT—! A myriad of expressions flashed through Yang Jing’s face while he farted, all of them indescribable. At the same time, color slowly flowed back into his pale face. What he did not realize was that a thick green gas had also come out of his butt which intertwined and danced with the poisonous gas.
“He…he…really let it rip.”
“That garlic must be some kind of divine medicine to be able to expel the poison!”
“Again, this group of people must have come from some kind of terrifying background to carry such divine medicine and Ultimate Treasures!”
“Dammit! Why won’t he just die?”
Everyone was shocked.
However, what was even more shocking was yet to come. They watched helplessly as the bluish-green gas drifted back to where the young master of the Shinto Pavilion stood, two squares behind Yang Jing. The young master of the Shinto Pavilion’s eyes widened in horror when he saw the bluish-green gas approaching him.
“No, don’t come near me!” he shouted frantically. He wanted to run but found himself confined to the square. There was nothing he could do but watch powerlessly as the bluish-green gas entered his territory.
“GAH! It stinks so bad! Oh my god! It’s even poisonous. I’m going to suffocate to death, I’m going to be poisoned to death. No! This can’t be how I go down…” The young master of the Shinto Pavilion was shrouded in the bluish-green gas; body twitching, eyes rolling, and roaring non-stop.
“Young Master!” shouted the deputy master of the Shinto Pavilion worriedly as the young master’s vitality quickly dissipated.
“No! That fart’s killing Young Master!”
“Is there no end to how evil those people can
be?!”
“This is too cruel!”
Everyone was shocked and frightened.
‘I’m so lucky to be far away from Yang Jing. Otherwise, even if I don’t die, it’ll definitely be uncomfortable!’
“We’ve miscalculated again. That garlic’s too powerful to be graded. Not only can it drive away the poison in the body, but it can also turn it into a poisonous fart attack, making it a rare item that can deal both offense and defense,” said Master Fire solemnly.
“Congratulations on completing the hidden mission. You used your fart to change the game map. You may choose a treasure as your reward,” said the toy man to Yang Jing.
Then, 10 treasures appeared above Yang Jing’s head. He chose a small sword and accepted it happily. The others were a little numb by then, not at all surprised that he got another treasure. Apparently, the word ‘fairness’ could only be found in the dictionary.
“We nearly got him, which shows that our strategy is feasible. Let’s just work harder!” said Master Wind, trying to bring up their morale.
The game continued.
The deputy master of the Shinto Pavilion fell into a Bone-dissolving Pond and needed to stay there for three rounds.
The big elder of the Ascension Sect was hunted by two powerful beasts in the Myriad Beast Forest.
Master Wind was bruised and battered by the Armaggadeon Gale.
It was just as Master Wind had said. Although the game was full of dangers, those at the Wisdom Dictator level could still handle most of them. At least they were still alive, albeit a little scarred and traumatized. On the contrary, Nanan and the others seemed to be breezing through the game and were collecting the treasures as if they were souvenirs from a holiday trip.
Nanan came to a quiet valley, where the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant. Lucky her, she found a natural treasure in the middle of a pond.
Next, Little Fox, too, came to the Myriad Beast Forest, and the demon kings there were so struck by her beauty that they willingly gave her all their treasures.
Same place, different treatment.
However, Master Wind and the others had long been used to this unfair phenomenon. They remain unflustered and put all of their attention toward finding opportunities to get payback. However, none of their strategies worked. All of them were neutralized by Nanan and the others.
As the game progressed, there were only two half-step Wisdom Dictators left in the Shinto Pavilion and the Ascension Sect. Counting Master Wind and Master Fire of the Heaven Plundering Alliance, there were a total of six half-step Wisdom Dictators struggling in the game.
Little Fox, Dragin, Nanan, Yang Jing, and Xiao Chengfeng were far ahead of them. Little Fox, especially, was about to reach the finish line. They were all grinning widely for they were that much closer to getting their hands on the fruit trees.
It was Master Fire’s turn. He infused his mana into the dice and prayed desperately in his heart. In the end, the dice landed on the number three. He took three steps forward and found himself in the middle of an array.
“You triggered the Shifting Array, you can choose a player to swap places with you,” announced the toy man.
‘Swap places?’ An excited smile appeared on Master Fire’s face. He had given up on trying to kill Nanan and the others, but it did not mean that he could not torment them a little. ‘I’ll make sure they won’t get their hands on their heart’s desire. Even heaven’s helping
me!’
What was more, the first person to reach the finish line could choose whatever treasure they wanted. Who would not want that? Immediately, he turned to look at Little Fox, and said, “I want to swap places with her!”
Little Fox did not even have time to react before she found herself in the Master Fire’s place while he stood at the forefront and laughed. “Haha, victory shall be mine!”
