A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 844 - 830: The Poisoner

The strength of the convoy is not weak. After the scavengers were cleared away, the beasts that kept surging in were continuously killed, basically having no power to resist. These fierce beasts, relying solely on their wild instincts to pounce, were nothing but live targets in front of bullets.

Although there were some casualties in the convoy, they were still within an acceptable range.

"Everyone rest where you are, bandage the wounded, and do not relax your vigilance," Boss Bei instructed the people around. On the wasteland, one must remain vigilant at all times; otherwise, you might never know where the problem lies, even up to the point of death.

Under Boss Bei's orders, everyone quickly demonstrated their high resilience from living on the wasteland for so long; almost everyone started moving. However, just after treating the wounds of the injured, a subordinate, covered in blood, staggered over: "Boss, there's a big problem, the tree up ahead..."

He spoke rapidly and intermittently, clearly due to severe injuries and excessive fright. Boss Bei furrowed his brows, intending to give him a slap to wake him up, only to have several more people shout from up ahead.

Boss Bei turned his head to look over, and he was instantly unsettled.

All around the convoy, one massive tree after another uprooted themselves, forming legs with their roots, and began walking on the ground. Each of these ancient trees was extremely large, and they were numerous, slowly closing in on the convoy.

Bullets striking them caused no harm whatsoever.

"Use fire, pour gasoline, throw incendiary bombs!" Boss Bei shouted from the center of the convoy. A group of veterans quickly regained their composure from the state of chaos and began throwing various incendiary items, attempting to drive the trees back.

But this method had little effect.

Most of the tree beings were not afraid of such levels of fire, not even putting up any minimal resistance.

And every time the trees struck, it was a huge area of damage. Most people were hit by the splintered rocks in these sweeping strikes, hitting the ground hard. Boss Bei's side was battered like a falling flower.

"Damn it, where did these ghostly things come from?" Earth Fire said angrily.

Boss Bei furrowed his brows tightly: "It seems like someone is indeed deliberately causing trouble. Now, things have gotten complicated."

Seeing the strength of these tree beings, it was clear that the person behind them was definitely no good.

Baiyu stared at the scene closely, his Spirituality expanding rapidly, trying to find the hidden enemy. However, after this investigation, he found nothing. Yet, he could confirm it was definitely orchestrated by an old schoolmate.

As he was conducting a careful investigation but found nothing.

A flying blade shot over from the surroundings, trailing a cold gleam, brushing past his head. Drops of blood trickled down. Although the flying blade did not pierce Baiyu, it still grazed his skin. Soon after, he felt a toxin spreading from the wound.

Baiyu's heart sank. Surprisingly, this toxin could not be evaporated by Blood Qi; he had to use Black Moon Power or some other method. After a great deal of effort, Baiyu finally managed to get rid of the toxin within his body and looked ahead.

A man stood there with two tubes inserted into his body, carrying an obscure iron tank on his back with a somewhat haughty look: "Not bad, as a new student, to be able to cleanse my toxin. No wonder the school has been discussing you recently."

Baiyu stared at him, "Ambushing is not a good habit. If you want to fight, just come at me head-on. Bring out your companion too."

"What a big mouth, dealing with you, why would I need anyone else?" The man sneered, then charged at Baiyu. Two vials of light green liquid potion were thrown to the ground, instantly releasing a cloud of green poisonous mist.

Within this poisonous mist, Baiyu felt that his movement speed had slowed down, and his whole body was relaxed and powerless.

"These toxic mists are completely irresistible, and once they enter the body, they become extremely troublesome, with even Blood Qi unable to expel them."

Baiyu did not hesitate, and a black mask emerged from his body, fastening onto his face.

Then waves of power surged continuously into his body.

The man suddenly stopped.

The power inside Baiyu's body increased exponentially, soon reaching a level that even the man dreaded.

"What kind of Magical Items has this bastard used to achieve such a massive boost," the man showed a hint of horror in his eyes. However, having roamed for so many years, how could he only have these few tricks?

The man took a deep breath, and his entire abdomen began to swell and expand continuously, like a furious pufferfish.

Then his whole body trembled, and countless toxins sprayed out of his mouth. He stood still and rotated his body, and the toxic gas gushed out like a breach, corroding and rapidly dissolving anyone who was touched by it. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Faced with such terrifying attacks, Boss Bei's subordinates dared not approach, but the surroundings were already sealed off by the toxic gas, appearing as a vast stretch of green haze.

They were now caught in a dilemma.

Whether advancing or retreating, they had to face the toxic gas attacks.

"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic, don't move around, or it will only increase casualties. All of you find a safe place to hide," Boss Bei shouted, trying to restore order here.

But just as he finished speaking, the poisonous mist suspended in the air suddenly exploded, with countless poisonous insects being birthed from the toxic mist, charging at everyone within the area, burrowing into their skin, and breeding continuously inside their flesh.

For a moment, most people let out cries of pain.

Boss Bei froze, with a deep feeling of helplessness rising again in his heart. He instantly understood that these people were not opponents at his level. The other side was clearly the same kind of existence as Baiyu.

"Is this your method?"

Baiyu looked around. Everyone was wailing in pain, their bodies being corroded by the poisonous insects, their flesh being bitten. However, he was surrounded by rolling black energy, and all the poisonous insects that rushed over were killed by the black energy, bursting into pools of green liquid.

The man inhaled a breath of green toxic mist, revealing a look of enjoyment on his face: "Isn't this enough? How long can you endure now? In my toxic mist, you surely find it difficult to even move, right? So standing there all the time. Do you still want to speak such boastful words? Do you want to make me laugh myself to death?"

"You probably don't have a roommate at school, with such a serious body odor and bad breath, no one should be able to tolerate you." Baiyu said to himself.

The man frowned at these words, showing a look of anger on his face: "If your purpose is to anger me, then I can responsibly tell you, you succeeded, and the consequences are very serious!"

Just finished speaking.

The surrounding poisonous mist suddenly rolled up fiercely.
