Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 703 Lizard City
The only one who didn't show much excitement was the man who knew Ran Xianke. After she dealt with the blue-armored man, he asked her, "Acting Patriarch, what happened to Ran Xianke?"

Tie Hongyan replied, "The clan leader gave him the task of dealing with the blue-armored man. He said he was very nervous because it was his first time. So I dealt with him and let him watch. Unexpectedly, he suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and then he stopped breathing. After he fell to the ground, I saw that his left hand, which had been holding the sword, had turned black, and those small white reptiles crawled up his hand but did not bite his hand. The hilt of the sword that he had held with his left hand before had turned yellow, and there were some small white reptiles on and around it, the same as the small reptiles on his left hand. I don't know exactly what happened, but I infer that there was poison on the hilt that caused Ran Xianke to be poisoned."

"I only met him a few times, and he died just like that." sighed the person who knew Ran Xianke.

Tie Hongyan asked: "Are you free now?"

"I'm free."

"I'm free too."

"We've finished our work for today and are on our way back. We were just passing by here."

"If you have anything to say, please tell me directly!"

Those people from Tiecang said one after another.

"Since you are all free, please watch here for a while. I will be back soon." Tie Hongyan said.

Several people agreed and stood at a distance from the body, looking at it. Tie Hongyan immediately used Qinggong to rush to Hongfeng Hall. Tie Jinjue happened to be alone in the room reading documents. Even he didn't recognize her in disguise at first glance until she called him "Uncle". She quickly told him the whole process of the incident, and he immediately took a few men with her to the place where the blue-armored man was dealt with.

When they got there, Tie Hongyan asked the passers-by who were helping her watch if anything had happened. When she learned that nothing had happened, she gave them some compensation and let them leave.

A subordinate of Tie Jinjue who was good at autopsy carefully examined Ran Xianke's condition, and then looked carefully at the hilt of the sword on the ground.

"Ran Xianke died of a highly toxic poison called 'Lishi', which attracts white reptiles called 'Denggong'. The 'Lishi' poison can kill people if a small amount of it comes into contact with their skin. This poison is currently said to have no antidote in the Tiecang tribe. However, not only are the 'Denggong' insects fine after touching this poison, they also like to eat it. They didn't bite the dead man's hand, but licked the 'Lishi' on his hand." said the subordinate who was good at autopsies and brought by Tie Jinjue.

"It is said that there is no antidote in the Tiecang tribe?" Tie Hongyan asked, "Has no one in our tribe discovered or formulated an antidote for this poison yet?"

"This poison is extremely rare. Not many people in Tiecang know about it. Most people don't have the chance to see it, and few people think about how to detoxify it. If I hadn't happened to see the Blue Armored People making this poison when I went to the place where they gathered, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about this."

"In that case, this poison should be related to the man in blue armor." Tie Hongyan said.

The man who was good at autopsies said, "It is certain that it is related to the Blue-Armored Man. Even if the poison was not administered by the Blue-Armored Man, it must be related to the Blue-Armored Man, because the preparation of this poison requires a living Blue-Armored Man over 25 years old to stir it with blue fingernails."
