Chapter 378

The realgar powder was not as effective against the rainbow frogs as it was against the snakes. The rainbow frogs only moved slowly for a moment before returning to their original state. Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother were unable to dodge in time and had already been touched by several rainbow frogs.

Fortunately, they had taken the antidote pills which allowed them to resist the toxicity of the rainbow frogs.

In Mo Jiuye's mind, such harmful creatures should not exist in this world, so he simply lit another fire to burn all of the rainbow frogs to death.

He and Sixth Elder Brother were in a hurry to check the identity of the person lying by the lake, and had no time to watch the burning scene. The two continued to hack their way through the undergrowth ahead.

They had assumed there would be more poisonous things ahead, but that was not the case.

Ahead was a white fog that completely blocked the two brothers' sight.

"Ninth younger brother, this smell seems familiar." Sixth Elder Brother's mind was racing as he tried to remember where he had smelled this before.

Indeed it did seem familiar. This was the anesthetic that Minister Si Meng had used to confuse the Mo brothers when they were in the South.

Fortunately, the two had taken the antidote pills, otherwise they would have been knocked out by the poison.

Mo Jiuye also found the smell familiar. The first time he had fought with Minister Si Meng in the South, the latter had scattered such an anesthetic before escaping in a panic.

Although his wife's pills could solve hundreds of poisons, one could never be too careful in such matters and he absolutely could not gamble here.

"Sixth Elder Brother, cover your nose and mouth, let's get through this quickly."

"Alright."

The two brothers held their breath and covered their noses and mouths, rushing through the poisonous fog.

The scene that appeared before their eyes could be described as suddenly clear.

However, they currently had no time to look around and quickly raced towards the few people by the lake.

"Ninth younger brother, it's Third Elder Brother and Liang Hao!" Seeing his own brothers lying there, Sixth Elder Brother sounded rather anxious.

Mo Jiuye did not respond. He raced towards them. Before the two brothers could get close, two figures suddenly leapt out from the bushes. Without a word, they raised their weapons and attacked their faces.

As Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother quickly dodged backwards, they also observed the appearance of the attackers.

The attackers were completely disheveled, and their bangs completely covered their facial features.

The two were very tall, and looked much thinner than normal people.

But from the details of their movements, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother discovered something wrong. "Sixth Elder Brother, it's Eldest Brother and Second Elder Brother."

Before Sixth Elder Brother could respond to Mo Jiuye's words, Eldest Brother and Second Elder Brother waved their weapons again to attack them.

It was a good thing to be able to find the brothers they had been searching for here, but clearly, Eldest Brother and Second Elder Brother had no self-awareness.

This state was entirely because they were being controlled by the Marionette Witch Insect.

Facing their own brothers, no matter what, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother could not use ruthless moves like against an enemy. But without ruthless moves, there was no way to stop their offense.

Mo Jiuye suddenly had a clever idea. He took out a package of anesthetic from his arms and sprinkled it towards the two elder brothers.

Soon, the two who were still attacking them staggered for a few moments before showing signs of collapsing.

Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother quickly went forward, one after the other, to support them before gently placing them on the ground.

At this time, Mo Jiuye was not blinded by the excitement of seeing Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Because Third Elder Brother and Liang Hao were still lying by the lake between life and death.

Considering the poisons they had encountered along the way, it was unlikely Third Elder Brother and the others had good fortune to make it this far.

He could only hope he had not come too late.

Mo Jiuye did not think much more. He raced swiftly towards Third Elder Brother and the others.

First he checked Third Elder Brother's breath, it was very weak, but he had not yet stopped breathing.

From his darkened skin, it could be determined that Third Elder Brother had been poisoned.

In fact, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother did not know that the poison barrier Minister Si Meng had set up there was not just a simple anesthetic.

Third Elder Brother was clutching a handkerchief. If the guess was correct, he should have also discovered that poison fog and used this to cover his nose and mouth.

Although Third Elder Brother's method of resisting the poison barrier was not perfect, at least he had taken precautions. Otherwise, what Mo Jiuye would have seen when he arrived here was Third Elder Brother's corpse.

Looking at the condition of Liang Hao and the others, it was about the same as Third Elder Brother’s, all on the verge of death.

In this situation, Mo Jiuye was also at a bit of a loss.

The only thing he could do now was to first give them the antidote pills and hope it was not too late.

Mo Jiuye took out the antidote pills from his arms and handed some to Sixth Elder Brother. The two brought the pills to Third Elder Brother and the other’s mouths. But unfortunately, they had completely lost consciousness and simply could not swallow them.

This greatly worried Sixth Elder Brother.

"Ninth younger brother, what should we do? They simply cannot swallow the pills."

At this point, Sixth Elder Brother was sweating profusely from anxiety.

At this moment, Mo Jiuye was calmer. He took out another pill again and crushed it in his palm.

"Sixth Elder Brother, quickly take out the water bag."

Sixth Elder Brother swiftly took the water bag from his waist. When Mo Jiuye had poured all the medicine powder into Third Elder Brother’s mouth, he reached out and pinched his throat, pouring water down.

This method of Mo Jiuye’s proved very effective. Third Elder Brother had successfully taken the antidote.

Using the same method, the two brothers also fed the antidote to Liang Hao and the others.

After going through this process, the only thing the two brothers could do was wait.

At the same time, they prayed that the antidote would save Third Elder Brother and the others.

Their goal was to save their elder brothers and father. They did not want any other brothers to have any more mishaps.

The antidote worked very well. In less than an incense stick worth of time, most of the black on Third Elder Brother and Liang Hao’s faces had faded away, and their breathing was much more even than before. It was just that there was still no sign of them waking up.

Despite this, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother were much more at ease.

They could confirm that Third Elder Brother and the others were no longer in mortal danger and waking up was just a matter of time.

No longer worried about Third Elder Brother and the others’ safety, Mo Jiuye finally shifted his attention to Eldest Brother and Second Brother.

His wife had given him two types of anesthetics at that time. The difference between the two anesthetics was in the duration of efficacy.

On the way here, in order to prevent Minister Si Meng from making trouble, Mo Jiuye had mainly used the long-acting anesthetic on him.

Right now, Mo Jiuye only had the short-acting anesthetic left on hand. That meant the anesthetic he had just given Eldest Brother and Second Brother could only knock them out for about an hour before they would wake up.

From the previous situation of the two elder brothers, it was clear they had no self-awareness at all and everything was under the control of the Marionette Witch Insect.

In this situation, if they did not promptly remove the insects after the two woke up, the consequence would be as soon as they regained consciousness, their first reaction would be to attack Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother.

Therefore, Mo Jiuye decided to remove the Marionette Witch Insects from their bodies before Eldest Brother and Second Brother woke up.

Although this was Mo Jiuye’s first time personally removing the insects, he had witnessed his wife do it many times.

The surgery to remove the Marionette Witch Insect was very simple, and the location was not in a vital area of the human body. In addition, Mo Jiuye had the experience of taking out Minister Si Meng's Heart Blood, so this operation was a piece of cake for him.
