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

Chapter 1631: Chapter 376: Capturing Du Xiong and the Yin Yang Lotus Alive

Where are the people?

Why are the people missing?

Chen Jie squinted slightly, searching around. Suddenly, he noticed a deep pit on the ground, which wasn’t there from the beginning. How did this pit suddenly appear?

Thinking this, Chen Jie became aware... oh...

Five Elements Banner, Thick Earth Banner, known for tunneling!

Could it be the Thick Earth Banner? Chen Jie looked around and, indeed, didn’t find any trace of the Thick Earth Banner. Chen Jie understood and immediately landed on the ground.

Looking at the tunnel but not knowing its exact location, Chen Jie was no fool. He took out a black object from his storage ring and immediately used a fire stick to ignite it.

Instantly, thick black smoke billowed. This smoke was very potent, causing dizziness, tears, and difficulty breathing.

This was a smoke bomb Chen Jie concocted himself based on a prescription from Chang Chun Valley, containing various highly toxic substances spread through the air.

Chen Jie threw the smoke bomb into the entrance of the tunnel and immediately covered it with soil, trapping the smoke inside, ensuring those in the tunnel would be smoked to death.

Chen Jie just stood there with his arms folded, waiting.

Behind him was a scene of wailing. The Giant Wood Five Bears were violently suppressed by Chen Jie. Of the five from the Sharp Gold Banner, only one remained. As for the Water and Fire Banners, they were completely wiped out by Chen Jie’s tactics, leaving none alive.

At this time, Liu Caidie led the remaining three guards to capture the enemies. Why were there only three guards left? Because the others had been killed by Du Xiong’s group.

These guards approached the enemies on the ground, their hatred obvious against the weakened Giant Wood Five Bears and the sole surviving disciple of the Sharp Gold Banner.

As for the disciples of the Water and Fire Banners, no one cared anymore since they had already turned into puddles of black water and charred remains.

Seeing the elite Five Elements Banner of the Zoroastrian Sect defeated like this, Han Ling’er felt a bit uneasy. However, remembering that these people were actually her enemies, she felt less uncomfortable.

Chen Jie, meanwhile, wasn’t concerned about the situation behind him. Instead, he focused on the ground, wanting to see where these ground rats could hide.

At this moment, in a deep underground tunnel, several short disciples of the Thick Earth Banner were desperately digging. That ugly opponent’s strength was just too terrifying; the Giant Wood and Sharp Gold Banners couldn’t stop him at all.

The Water and Fire Banners also struggled to achieve anything. In this critical moment, only our Thick Earth Banner was the last hope!

No matter how powerful that ugly guy was, he couldn’t possibly contend with us underground. Even if he had extraordinary skills, could he really catch us underground? Ridiculous.

”Leader! Why is it so choking here, cough cough, what is this smell?”

”Cough cough cough...”

”Yeah, leader, did we dig into a weasel nest or something? This smell is so irritating to the eyes, cough cough...”

Underground, several people were coughing desperately, bewildered by a pungent gas in the air that stung their eyes and was suffocating. Breathing it in almost made them cough up their lungs.

And it wasn’t just the Thick Earth Banner coughing; even Du Xiong was coughing furiously.

Cough cough cough...

Feeling the smoke’s deadly power, the leader of the Thick Earth Banner shouted, ”Quick, pee!”

On hearing this, the Thick Earth Banner members immediately understood. Being ground rats, they were seasoned in dealing with the enemy’s smoke attack, whether it was a weasel nest or smoke from enemies. They had a clever method—using urine-soaked cloths to cover their mouth and nose.

To these Earth Rats, this was routine. They tore a piece of cotton cloth from their waist, swiftly placing it between their legs.

Splash splash...

Soon, a urine-soaked cloth appeared in their hands, which they used to cover their mouth and nose, effectively blocking out much of the smoke.

Seeing this scene, Du Xiong frowned, looking at the Earth Rats with disdain. It was no wonder the others disliked the Thick Earth Banner members in the Five Elements Banner for being so filthy.

Yet, not covering his mouth and nose, the smoke thickened, stinging Du Xiong’s lungs. His Golden Bell Shield Technique had been breached; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such discomfort.

”Cough cough cough...”

The Thick Earth Banner members, seeing Du Xiong not covering his mouth and nose, quickly said, ”Young Master, this poisonous smoke is severe. You should cover your mouth and nose quickly.”

Du Xiong frowned, saying, ”I don’t have to pee.”

After hearing this, a nearby Thick Earth Banner disciple immediately pulled out an extra piece of cotton cloth, saying, ”Young Master, I have a lot of pee. I’ll share it with you.”

Du Xiong: (⊙o⊙)...

”No need.”

Du Xiong looked at the slightly yellowed cloth and promptly refused. If survival meant using such a method, he’d rather die!

”My Divine Technique is mastered, Vajra Indestructible, impervious to blades and spears, immune to all poison. This is... cough cough... nothing!”

”Cough cough...”

Du Xiong wore a look of confidence, seemingly protected by his Divine Technique. Seeing him like this, the Thick Earth Banner members exchanged glances before continuing to dig.

However, they hadn’t dug far before the smoke became even more intense, leaving everyone unable to open their eyes.

The leader of the Thick Earth Banner coughed violently, exclaiming, ”This is outrageous, what kind of toxic smoke is this? It’s unbelievably potent, cough cough, it’s killing me!”
