Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1352: Chapter 312: Can Studying Lead to the Molten Furnace Realm?

Swoosh!

Li Bao turned and ran, unwilling to deal with the Witch Clan alone. The Witch Clan had countless tricks up their sleeves, and without the large group, he didn’t want to face the members of the Witch Clan by himself.

Getting caught off guard could lead to irreversible regret.

Li Bao then turned to look at Chen Jie and said, ”If you don’t want to die in a horrible way, leave this place quickly. Even if you leave, you might end up dead, but at least you’ll have an intact corpse!”

Chen Jie heard this, frowned slightly, but didn’t move.

Although the Witch Clan was dangerous, Li Bao was like a rabid dog; if he latched on, it would be even harder to escape. As for the Witch Clan, Chen Jie decided to gamble and see what would happen.

With this thought in mind, Chen Jie stood still, wanting to assess the situation.

At this moment, Chen Jie noticed that the strange trees in the forest began to gather around him and were tightening more and more, eventually surrounding him completely.

These bizarre trees intertwined their branches, forming a trap like a Heaven and Earth Net around him.

Blocking all possible ways for Chen Jie to escape.

Chen Jie then cupped his fists and said, ”Esteemed seniors of the Witch Clan, I am Mianshui Chen Jiusi, who has accidentally intruded upon this place. I sincerely request the seniors to show themselves so I can apologize personally.”

Upon hearing these words, a voice replied, ”You outsiders are all no good, coming to our Witch Clan just to steal from us. You’re all bad people!”

Chen Jie responded, ”Senior, I believe there’s a misunderstanding between us. Please reveal yourself so I may explain.”

”Heh, still want to see us? You don’t have the chance anymore!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Jie saw an evil wind blowing out from the tree holes on the strange trees, accompanied by a terrifying smoke.

It’s poison!

Chen Jie’s first reaction was that the smoke was poisonous, and he was right. He covered his mouth and nose, only to discover that the poisonous smoke clung to his skin and seeped into his flesh and blood.

Chen Jie felt the toxin and found it incredibly potent, difficult to remove using conventional means. Prolonged exposure would be unbearable even for a strong cultivator at the Dragon Realm.

However, despite its strength, the poison was not insurmountable for someone like Chen Jie, who practiced the world’s foremost life force cultivation technique, the Chang Chun Skill.

But in the current situation, if he showed no signs of poisoning, the adversary would undoubtedly use some other method against him.

The Witch Clan was notorious, and who knew how many tricks they had up their sleeves? It was better to use this opportunity to loosen his bindings.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie secretly initiated the Chang Chun Skill, using its inner strength to protect his heart and lungs, keeping them clear. This allowed him to instantly break free from the poisoned state.

After securing his heart and lungs, Chen Jie gradually relaxed his body, letting the toxin enter. As soon as the poison entered, the Chang Chun Skill’s life force instantly surrounded the toxin, mercilessly eradicating it, preventing it from taking hold inside him.

Chen Jie mused to himself, it couldn’t be this ineffective; how would he appear poisoned at all?

So he forcefully restrained the Chang Chun Skill from detoxifying, but the skill was too powerful, overwhelmingly occupying his organs, preventing the poison from advancing. The toxins could only pathetically remain on his skin’s surface.

Soon, Chen Jie appeared utterly poisoned, his entire body turning dark.

Feeling it was about right, Chen Jie feigned intense discomfort, then released his hands, grimacing and gasping, showcasing his acting to the fullest.

Meanwhile, those controlling the Witch Trees outside murmured softly, ”He’s poisoned, he’s poisoned.”

Another said, ”Yes, don’t worry, even the Lords can’t withstand the old Witch Tree’s poison gas.”

Upon hearing this, another remarked, ”Indeed, indeed, these old Witch Trees were planted by Mister himself, they’re extremely formidable.”

After these words, they saw the poisoned Chen Jie stumble and collapse to the ground.

Witnessing this, cheers erupted, ”Yay, he’s down, he’s down!”

”Quickly, let’s go check it out.”

Hearing this, everyone paused, but soon someone said, ”Don’t rush, hold on, Sister Hong Yuan said, outsiders are cunning, some may pretend to be poisoned, as kids, we must be careful not to be deceived.”

”Right, right, Mister also said, one must be patient, without patience, nothing can be achieved.”

”Exactly, let’s not rush, wait, wait!”

Saying this, they waited there. After some time, a young voice said, ”Is it time yet?”

When this was said, another voice replied, ”No, wait a bit longer!”

Hearing this, everyone continued to wait. After a while, about fifteen minutes later, another voice asked, ”Is it time yet?”

”Wait longer!”

At that moment, the apparent leader spoke again, and everyone continued to wait.

After a short while, thirty minutes had passed, and the leader said, ”It’s about time, let’s go check.”

Saying this, three children emerged from a tree hole in an old Witch Tree.

Chen Jie, lying on the ground, opened one eye discreetly, just in time to see the three children, which left him stunned.
