Chapter 158 - News of Old Hank

Chapter 158: Chapter 151: News of Old HankThe experience of eight thousand people was still not enough for Lu Hong to level up from two to three, but roughly estimating, there shouldn’t be much left.

With the help of the Nightingale Potion, Lu Hong recovered quickly. The Black Pupil suffered a loss of more than two hundred skilled members, and the entire organization’s attitude toward Lu Hong was extremely unfriendly.

In the most recent ambush against the Feng Xi family, there were members of Black Pupil who took advantage of the chaos to attack Lu Hong. Fortunately, Lu Hong detected it in time to dodge the lethal blow.

"I told you, Tu Ku Lu is the person our master specifically told us to protect. Even if we lose however many comrades, we must ensure his safety. But what are you doing?!" Nightingale glared at her subordinates and said sternly, "If this happens again, everyone in the squad involved will be punished as a collective!"

After speaking, Nightingale guiltily looked toward Lu Hong. "How are you?"

Lu Hong covered the chest wound that nearly took his life and shook his head, "I’m okay, but are you sure the poison on this dagger can be cured with this stuff?"

The medicine Nightingale handed over was clearly labeled as a strong poison, basically a powerful Potion Maker. Was she mocking him for being illiterate?

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Nightingale opened the medicine, and a wisp of purple smoke drifted out, hissing in the air and even corroding it—how poisonous was this?

"Ever heard of fighting poison with poison?" Seeing Lu Hong’s reluctant face, Nightingale directly pinched his mouth and poured it in. "You wouldn’t understand if I explained, just follow my lead. The person who attacked you is a well-known Poison Maker in Black Pupil, his poison is difficult to cure. Using poison against poison is the quickest method."

A vial of poison poured into his throat, and Lu Hong felt it burning from his mouth down to his stomach, like a rolling ball of fire in his belly.

Then it seemed to come into contact with the deadly poison infiltrated from the dagger into his body, instantly counteracting each other and stabilizing.

Seeing that the poison in Lu Hong’s face had disappeared, Nightingale turned back to her subordinates and said, "Remember what I said, if this happens again, treat it as a betrayal of the organization."

"At your command..." Nightingale still held great authority in Black Pupil, and even though the organization harbored animosity toward Lu Hong, they dared not speak out in front of Nightingale.

After sending her subordinates away, Nightingale sighed and said to Lu Hong, "If you had been clear with me that day, it wouldn’t have come to this."

"If I had told you then, would you have believed me?" Lu Hong replied helplessly.

Nightingale did not argue; indeed, before witnessing the One-Sword Kill of eight thousand people, even if Lu Hong had been incredibly persuasive, she would not have believed him.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore, have you chosen the next target for the ambush?" In recent days, Lu Hong had followed Nightingale to ambush various small military units, achieving significant success and also smoothly advancing from the second level to the third level, thus enhancing his strength.

"Chi Lan and Feng Xi have suffered heavy losses these days, and they have increased their vigilance against us. Even the Gold Family has retreated a hundred thousand troops from the front line, preparing to sweep us out," Nightingale took out a beautifully drawn map and said, "Anyway, it has relieved some pressure on the front line. The Gold Family should pass through Yang Feng Town and continue a widespread

"Giggle." Piao Miao was delighted with her teasing of Nightingale, then flew into the air. "I have dinner with an elder of the Feng Xi Family tonight. I must be going."
