All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 56 Fishing
Sun Xiaohong glared at Wang Gan. What kind of time is this to be thinking about these things?

In reality, although Blue Scorpion is poisonous, he is more skilled in martial arts. His poisoning skills are worlds apart from those of the Five Poison Children of Miao.

Immediately afterward, Sun Xiaohong's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.
He walked out the door, glanced at the stables next to the kitchen, and burst out laughing.

"Fortunately, the Five Poisons Child was negligent; he poisoned people but not horses."

"If we ride horses, we'll get to Shaolin Temple even faster."

With things having come to this point, the two did not hesitate. They mounted their horses and spurred them on, beginning their journey day and night.

They don't need to rest, but their horses do; they need to rest and eat, otherwise they won't make it to Shaolin Temple.

After a day and a night of running, the horse was exhausted.

So the two entered a small town, intending to change to two better horses before continuing their journey.

Sun Xiaohong returned from a walk around the town, looking rather grim.

"The horses in town were all poisoned not long ago."

Wang Gan nodded in understanding.

"It seems that the Five Poison Child not only doesn't want us to go to Shaolin Temple, but also wants to exhaust us to death."

A master of lightness skill in the martial arts world can naturally outrun a galloping horse, but that's only temporary.
Unless your internal energy can reach a state of inexhaustibility and perpetual renewal, you will eventually run out of internal energy and have to travel on foot.

The best horses are those that can travel day and night.

Even if Wang Gan and his companion were both people with abundant internal energy, it would be difficult for them to reach Shaolin Temple within two or three days.

If it were just Wang Gan alone, with his profound internal strength from the Yi Jin Jing, he could still give it a try, but with Sun Xiaohong by his side, there was definitely no way to succeed.

Suddenly, Sun Xiaohong looked at the tumbling fried dough on the opposite stall and licked her lips.

The two had been traveling for a day and a night without food, and dared not even drink water.

Wang Gan possessed the internal strength of the Yi Jin Jing, which was inexhaustible and had a long-lasting energy. His physique was far stronger than that of ordinary people, yet he had not yet felt anything.

Although Sun Xiaohong came from a family of martial arts practitioners and was skilled in martial arts, women's strength is always less than men's, and she was already struggling to keep up.

"I'll go buy you something to eat!"

Seeing this, Wang Gan knew that Sun Xiaohong was running out of energy and wouldn't be able to hold out until Shaolin Temple if things continued like this.

"Wait!"

Sun Xiaohong quickly stopped her.

"This Five Poison Child's poisoning skills are already superb. We've been riding for so long, but we still haven't been able to shake him off."

"The horses in the town have all been poisoned, so there must be something fishy about the food by the roadside!"

Wang Gan smiled confidently.
"It's alright, I have my own way of handling it!"

Instead of buying fried dough from the stall, Wang Gan walked over to a local resident who was eating fried dough.

Wang Gan tossed over a silver bean and bought back the fried dough cake that the other person hadn't eaten yet.

"Look, he ate it and he's fine, so we'll definitely be fine too."

Wang Gan winked at Sun Xiaohong.

"Really?"

Sun Xiaohong was somewhat skeptical. Although it seemed like there was nothing wrong, she still had a bad feeling.

While she was still hesitating, Wang Gan had already stuffed the fried dough into his mouth.

It must be said that these fried dough sticks were fried to a very crispy texture, and they were made with sourdough starter, making them very sweet and delicious.

Wang Gan ate a few bites and half of the fried dough was gone.

Unsurprisingly, another accident occurred.

Wang Gan's face quickly turned ashen.

"Wang Gan!"

Sun Xiaohong's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly reminded her.

"Quickly circulate your qi to expel the poison!"

Wang Gan looked puzzled.
"poison?"

"I don't think I've been poisoned?"

No sooner had he said that than Wang Gan's face twitched, he swayed, and collapsed to the ground. Sun Xiaohong was so anxious she was about to cry. She quickly tried to channel her inner energy into Wang Gan, but it was to no avail.

Soon after, rustling sounds began to rise from the surroundings, and people nearby had all fallen to the ground without anyone noticing.

A strange laugh came from somewhere, sometimes near, sometimes far, as if it came from the edge of hell.

A cold wind howled, and a short figure slowly appeared.

"Jie Jie"

The Five Poison Child appeared, his figure resembling a dwarf.

He was wearing a short skirt, revealing his short legs, and he didn't seem to feel cold even though it was winter.

His head was small, but his eyes were bright, with a venomous and sinister look, like those of a poisonous insect.

"What half-human, half-ghost, what impermanent hand?"

"So that's all you've got."

“The person who ate the fried dough didn’t just eat the fried dough, he also drank the soy milk. I put poison in the fried dough and antidote in the soy milk.”

"I knew you wouldn't drink the fermented mung bean juice, since it's so awful. You'll just eat the pancakes instead."

"You've fallen for my petty tricks. If you don't take the bait this time, I have a thousand more ways to poison you."

"I didn't expect that none of it would be of any use!"

The Five Poison Boy was extremely pleased with himself, looking at Sun Xiaohong who was silently weeping.

"Don't cry. Don't worry, your godmother wants a living person, not a corpse. I spared his life. I didn't poison him with any lethal drugs."

"Right now... I've just fallen asleep."

The Five Poisons Child was extremely pleased with himself, thinking that the Impermanent Hand was something difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Just as the Five Poison Boys were about to step forward and take Wang Gan away, they were suddenly startled.

"Your sleeping pills aren't working, and you haven't cured my insomnia either."

The Five Poisons Child stood there dumbfounded, looking utterly incredulous.

"You're not poisoned?"

Wang Gan stood up abruptly, and Sun Xiaohong, standing beside him, smiled, a far cry from her tearful appearance just moments before.

"You guys...were you faking it just now?"

Sun Xiaohong smiled smugly.
“Wang Gan is cunning as a devil. Sometimes he even deceives himself. Your poisoning methods can't even fool me, let alone him.”

She had already become suspicious when she saw that Wang Gan insisted on eating fried dough.

That bastard's hair is hollow; he's not going to be fooled so easily. He's probably up to no good again.

Later, she used her internal energy to probe him, and sure enough, his internal energy was surging like a great river, flowing endlessly. There was not a trace of poisoning in him; he was clearly fishing.

Sun Xiaohong was also very quick-witted and went along with Wang Gan's act.

When the Five Poison Boys appeared, Sun Xiaohong knew that the fish had taken the bait.

"Impossible! I saw you eat it with my own eyes!"

The Five Poison Child was also shocked.

His poison was invincible. To deal with a master like Wang Gan, he deliberately increased the dosage, so much so that even ten elephants would collapse after taking it.

It didn't work on him?

“You forgot, besides the name ‘Unpredictable Hand,’ I also have the nickname ‘Honest Young Man.’”

“I just said I don’t think I’m poisoned, but you won’t believe me.”

Wang Gan sighed.

Actually, he was already planning it when he saw Guan Shuangfei die.
With his internal strength from the Yi Jin Jing, he was already immune to all poisons, so he was naturally not afraid of the Five Poison Boy's methods and could eat poison like seafood.

However, the Five Poison Child was too insidious. He always hid in the shadows when he poisoned someone. If he didn't show himself, Wang Gan couldn't do anything about him.

So Wang Gan had no choice but to keep acting, pretending to be poisoned, to make the Five Poison Boys reveal their weakness.

Upon hearing this, the Five Poisons Child's face turned extremely gloomy.

Unexpectedly, he, who had dominated the world and whose poison skills were unmatched, was tricked like this.
