Chapter 88: A Hair’s Breadth Apart

At this moment, the situation in Mina’s small dilapidated wooden house was not optimistic.

“You, don’t come here!” Mina yelled. The poison was already secretly hidden in her hands. She knew that she must take the poison now. She had already negotiated with Guo Si for several minutes, but Guo Si was uninterested in Mina’s proposal to reduce the big issue to a small issue, then the small issue to no issue. Guo Si was only interested in Mina.

Guo Si walked forward in small steps while taking out a bouquet of enchanting flowers. Speaking about it, things like flowers were very rare in the place like Striped Stone Village. These flowers naturally were very good, but in the hands of Guo Si, they looked very bad!

Guo Si said: “Don’t hide, it’s meaningless. You can’t escape from me.”

Guo Si was right. In this current situation, no one could change the status quo if Shi Hao didn’t appear. Mina also didn’t expect anyone else to come to save her. The only thing she hoped for was to perish together with Guo Si. She had her own plan!

Mina said: “Okay! I understand. Give me the flowers, then turn around first. I want to dress up. My current look is not worthy of you.”

Guo Si was overjoyed! He gave the flowers, turned around and said: “Give! Give! Give! Everything you want, I’ll give you.”

Mina’s pupils flickered. She then resolutely crushed the poison sac in her mouth and swallowed it! The poison filled her mouth and mixed with her blood. She was just a fine line away from death. However, she was not afraid. She was still smiling, and her face was a bit red because of the poison speeding up her blood flow, which made her look more beautiful and moving than ever. This might be the bright illumination before death.

Mina walked forward with a smile, took Guo Si’s hand and said: “Close your eyes, I…”

Guo Si’s heart jumped like a fawn. Good! Very good! It was needless to say.

Guo Si first glared at his guards outside the room, signaling them to obediently cover their eyes. Then, he closed his eyes, welcoming the angel’s blessing. Unfortunately, the angel’s blessing was a deadly poison. When Mina’s lips made a contact, the poison also flowed over.

“Ah!!!” Guo Si immediately noticed the abnormality. He hastily pushed Mina away and berated: “What did you do? This is? This is the poison of the poisonous dragon beast! Are you insane? Quick! Guards, take me back quickly and quickly call the doctor to treat me. I’m not poisoned heavily, I can still be saved. Quick!”

Guo Si’s subordinates hastily carried Guo Si away, and all others also quickly left. Guo Si no longer cared about Mina. In his eyes, Mina was already dead. He could recognize this poison. It was absolutely the poison of the poisonous dragon beast.

What was a poisonous dragon beast? Other people might not know, but Guo Si knew because he once had led a team to hunt down a poisonous dragon beast. At that time, not only he failed to kill it, but also suffered heavy losses. After all, a poisonous dragon beast was a level 70 BOSS monster. And poisonous dragon beast’s main weapon was poison! If you get hit by the poisonous dragon beast’s skill attack, then you will get a poison debuff. One bite of a poisonous dragon beast was enough to completely destroy an ordinary level 70 soldier. And here, Mina had swallowed so much poison, what would be her end? Even Guo Si who had just swallowed a bit of the poison was shaking with fear now.

However, other than Guo Si and his subordinates, the other didn’t know what the poisonous dragon beast was. However, listening to the name and watching Guo Si’s reaction, all others also understood that this was absolutely a fatal poison.

“Mina!” Arnold struggled to get up, untied the rope and ran to the front of Mina. However, Mina was already on the verge of death. Arnold roared: “Doctor, Doctor! Quickly come, anyone will do! I beg you to save Mina.”

Arnold picked up the dying Mina and ran out of the house. However, he just happened to bump into a person who just happened to walk in. He was wearing a black flaming costume, and he looked very handsome. If one took a closer look at him, one would see a proud smile on his face. He basically didn’t know what had happened here. He was still thinking about how to use the Full Leveled Upgrade Ticket. Only when he saw bloody Mina, he stopped smiling. Who was he? He naturally was Shi Hao!

“You? It’s you! This appearance, aren’t you that fellow who fell out of that hole (portal)? You! Do you know Mina?” Arnold was already hopeless now. And after seeing Shi Hao, he judged from Shi Hao’s expression that Shi Hao also knew Mina. Now, Arnold only had one thought. He wanted to ask Shi Hao to help Mina because the medical standard of the continent was better! He was absolutely sure that Shi Hao had come from the continent. He determined Shi Hao’s identity just like Mina before. Perhaps, Shi Hao would have some medicines that could even bring the dying back to life. As long as someone could save Mina, Arnold was willing to pay any price in exchange.

 Shi Hao was surprised. But he hastily stepped forward and carefully examined! He then frowned.

Shi Hao yelled: “Put Mina down! Quick, let her form a party with me. If you waste any more time, it will to too late!”

“What!” Arnold subconsciously hesitated. However, he had no other choice. It was useless for him to run around while carrying Mina. Bet! He would bet on this man. However, it seemed that heaven didn’t want to give Mina and Arnold a chance to bet. Mina had already lost her consciousness. But one must personally accept to form a party. Mina, who was in a coma, couldn’t form a party with Shi Hao!

“Mina! Mina! Mina!” Arnold was burning with impatience. He desperately called out Mina’s name, trying to pull back a bit of Mina’s will from hell. As long as she came back for a second to accept the party formation, Shi Hao would be able to save her! Why? Because of Shi Hao’s Water Cloud Sword! (P.S.: Shadow Dragon Soul was useless at this moment. Although Shadow Dragon Soul could absorb the damage, it couldn’t save Mina. Mina’s poison debuff would continue to reduce her HP, which was something that a shield couldn’t defend. The poison debuff must be eliminated to save Mina.)

In fact, just now, Shi Hao had used that very valuable Full Leveled Experience Card on Water Cloud Sword, regardless of everything. In fact, using this Full Leveled Experience Card on Water Cloud Sword (epic) was truly a waste. Even if he had to use it now, it was better to use it on Fire Dragon Battle Armor (legend). Instead of upgrading a legendary item, choosing an epic item was truly a stupid decision from the rational viewpoint of improving one’s strength.

Merely, Shi Hao believed that even if they were ordinary NPCs, they were also living people with flesh and blood in this game. And Mina was a good girl. After a few years, she might have married Arnold. For long life and a cup of wine, as long as the price was just an unreasonable choice, why not do it? What’s wrong and what’s right? Just do it!

At this very moment, Shi Hao was tightly holding a level 10 Water Cloud Sword, waiting for a miracle to happen…

P.S.: The attribute of Level 10 Water Cloud Sword is:

[Name: Water Cloud Sword (Epic)] [Level: 10] [Attack: 100] [Attached Skill: Power of Water Cloud, CD: 1 day, restore 100% of a person’s HP and remove all debuffs]

P.P.S.: Remove all debuffs, this attribute only appeared when Water Cloud Sword reached level 10. The other items might also awaken the ultimate effect of the attached skill at level 10. And the original effect of Water Cloud Sword was to resurrect once with full HP (but not restore MP) when dying, which could be regarded as pseudo-resurrection armor. Water Cloud Sword could be regarded as one of the best items among the epic grade items. After all, Water Cloud Sword was a system reward for the first recruitment of a historical NPC. However, Water Cloud Sword was definitely inferior to many legend-grade items. But that was absolutely not a flaw.
