Chapter 1277: Turning the Tables
Upon hearing this emotionless whisper, Hu Xiaobei turned his head in astonishment, seeing that she, who should have been standing in front of him, was now coldly appearing behind him...
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei felt a tinge of pain...
Looking down, Hu Xiaobei discovered a sharp dagger piercing through his heart.
"I didn't expect your speed to be this fast!"
Hu Xiaobei, his face turning pale, croaked out.
"This is my signature move, never failed from the start, so you shouldn't have any regrets!"
Speaking up to this point, she jeered coldly, "Earlier, did you think I didn't notice your little trap? I saw through it long ago, which is why I went along with it!"
"Impressive!"
"Thanks for the compliment!"
With that, Yu Mo stabbed once more...
Suddenly, her expression changed!
It was because she sensed something was wrong...
Lowering her head, her face suddenly changed...
Because at this moment, Hu Xiaobei, who she should have stabbed, turned into a piece of almost completely withered wood.
"How... how is this possible?!"
She was utterly shattered...
As everything before her was beyond her imagination...
...
"Ever heard the saying? You think you have a plan, but I've got my own tricks."
Hearing such a calm mockery, she turned her head, seeing Hu Xiaobei calmly looking at her.
"I lost!"
Yu Mo smiled bitterly, expressionless, and tossed aside the dagger in her hand...
Glancing at the dagger she had thrown to the ground, Hu Xiaobei squinted, "You're giving up just like that? Aren't you going to try again?"
"I'd like to continue, but I can't anymore!"
Saying so, Yu Mo collapsed into unconsciousness...
"So it is!"
Seeing her faint, Hu Xiaobei whispered softly...
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei felt as if her body had been emptied...
Now it seemed, indeed it was so...
Everything comes at a price.
The terrible speed she managed to unleash in such a short time came with a cost...
That cost was to deplete all her strength.
Thus, this was the ultimate move...
If it succeeded, the opponent would die!
If it failed, she'd die herself...
...
"Hm? Is she really prepared to die?"
Feeling her life force quickly fading, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brows and murmured to himself...
Upon closer inspection, Hu Xiaobei found her current state was due to poisoning.
"How can this be! I didn't poison her!"
Frowning, Hu Xiaobei examined her body once again.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei discovered that the poisoning was not caused by him but because she had previously implanted a small amount of toxin in one of her teeth.
This would have no effect under normal circumstances...
But at a crucial moment, it could lead to her immediate death.
"This is truly the essence of an assassin, seems she decided that she shouldn't fall into enemy hands no matter what!"
With this in mind, Hu Xiaobei bent down and expressionlessly picked her up...
If it were someone else, they might not have saved her.
But Hu Xiaobei was a doctor, and he wouldn't allow anyone to die in front of him, so he intended to save her.
...
"What's wrong with Yu Mo?"
"Yes, what happened, Brother Xiaobei?"
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei revived Shen Yingying and Qi Rong, who had been knocked out by Yu Mo...
As they came to, they saw the unconscious Yu Mo and immediately asked anxiously!
Having anticipated their inquiry, Hu Xiaobei smiled and replied calmly, "It's nothing, she was bitten by a snake earlier!"
"Is that so!"
"Can you save her?"
"Of course I can! By the way, do you remember what happened before?"
"I don't remember!"
"Neither do I!"
They looked at each other, shaking their heads gently...
They only recalled coming here with Yu Mo, but everything else had been forgotten.
"I see, let's head down the mountain now!"
Hearing their response, Hu Xiaobei was not at all surprised...
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei mention going down the mountain, they quickly agreed...
...
After descending the mountain, Hu Xiaobei, letting them head back to the villa first, carried the unconscious Yu Mo to the Medicinal Garden deep within the orchard.
While descending, Hu Xiaobei carefully examined her body...
Hu Xiaobei found that the poison she ingested was extremely potent, damaging her body tissues, so he needed some auxiliary medicinal materials for treatment...
As he approached the Medicinal Garden, Hu Xiaobei saw Hei and Xiaobai sunbathing there.
Seeing him carrying Yu Mo, they quickly stood up.
Glancing at them, Hu Xiaobei spoke solemnly: "Keep watch here, don't let anyone get close, understand?"
Having said that, Hu Xiaobei saw them nodding...
Knowing they were reliable, Hu Xiaobei carried Yu Mo inside...
"These medicinal herbs are growing much better now!"
Arriving at the Medicinal Garden, Hu Xiaobei took a look at the lush green herbs in front, softly praising...
At that moment, he was truly excited because the herbs here had grown much more since his last visit...
"If outsiders were to see them, they'd probably faint from excitement!"
Whispering to himself, Hu Xiaobei carried Yu Mo to the small riverside cabin...
Though Hu Xiaobei had never lived there before, Guo Meiyu and the others cleaned it regularly, so it was very clean...
Carefully laying her unconscious body on the bed, Hu Xiaobei frowned...
At this point, due to the poisoning, not only had she fallen into a coma, but her face also began to show a tinge of blackness...
"This poison seems to be even stronger than I imagined!"
With such a sigh, Hu Xiaobei once more infused her body with a trace of Nine Wood True Qi!
Since a moment ago, Hu Xiaobei had been doing this repeatedly...
To be honest, if it weren't for using Nine Wood True Qi to protect her heart, she would have surely passed away by now.
...
"Bai Lingzi, germination root, Fuzhu..."
In the Medicinal Garden, Hu Xiaobei carefully selected various medicinal herbs...
Hu Xiaobei was aware of her critical condition, so he was selecting the best herbs.
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei placed all the chosen herbs in front of him.
At this point, Hu Xiaobei instinctively frowned...
Because he realized he was missing one herb...
Hu Xiaobei had previously dug up as many medicinal herbs as possible for his garden, but after all, one's capabilities are limited.
Therefore, many herbs were still not gathered here...
Now, the herb Hu Xiaobei needed was not here...
This left Hu Xiaobei somewhat helpless...
"What should I do, then!"
Thinking about it, Hu Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up...
He suddenly thought of a helper.
"That Kenghuo loves to collect things; if I don't have that herb, it should!"
With this in mind, Hu Xiaobei whistled softly...
...
While Hu Xiaobei whistled, a few kilometers away, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit was admiring its collection of treasures...
Suddenly, its ears twitched...
After realizing Hu Xiaobei was looking for it, it quickly disappeared...
Just a second later, it reappeared there...
Glancing around, it found a limp-looking carrot in the corner...
Gently brushing off the dirt, it carefully cradled it while disappearing swiftly again...
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit had been living well recently...
Because it had not only collected many treasures but also found a girlfriend who shared its passion for collecting!
Let's say, recently, the two of them had practically collected all the wild medicinal herbs...
...
"Came quickly, huh!"
Feeling a weight on his shoulder, Hu Xiaobei knew it had arrived...
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw it, with a limp-looking carrot, curiously watching him...
Glancing at the carrot, Hu Xiaobei knew it was going to pretend to be poor...
"Oh come on, you're no rabbit, you're clearly a stingy Pixiu!"
Silently complaining thus, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose...
Soon, looking at it, Hu Xiaobei began to speak seriously...
