The man didn't expect the tiny seed to explode and he certainly didn't expect for it to explode in countless tiny tendrils that slowly turned more and more elongated and clasped hold of him. His entire body was soon wrapped with black roots that were not only covered with small thorns that were slowly turning bigger and piercing his skin but also tightening with each passing second.
"AHHH!" the pain made the man scream in anguish.
His cry attracted Han Xiaorui but before she could turn around and look what was going on behind her, Mo Xifeng rushed towards her. Her sword arm raised in the air as she brought it down heavily at the woman who dodged to one side causing the floor to crack.
Mo Qiang ignored the crackling sound and turned to look at the man who was wrapped in the thorny cocoon. She got to her feet and walked over to where the man was kneeling.
"Antidote," she said to the man in a cold and detached voice. "Hand it over before I kill you in the most painful way."
The man knew that she was not lying or threatening him; if he refused, she would really kill him!
However —
"I—I don't have the antidote," the man spoke with a painful voice. "This poison doesn't have any antidotes."
Only then did Mo Qiang understand that this man had actually prepared the Zerg Queen poison; her eyes turned frigid when she heard the man say that he actually brought such a dangerous poison to deal with her.
She might have forgiven this man if it was her who got stabbed but the one who was stabbed was Fu Qi Hong. She could never forgive this man for hurting him. Obviously, Fu Qi Hong was here to do his duty but ended up in this mess because of her.
She turned to look at Chi Chi and said to him, "Make sure that you kill him slowly. There is no need to kill him immediately."
"Sure, Chi!"
Chi Chi obliged with Mo Qiang's order at once but the man's eyes popped out the second he heard Mo Qiang say that she wanted the spirit to kill him. He looked at her and begged, "Please... please don't kill me! I didn't mean it—I was forced as well. Please! AHHHH!!!"
The man continued to beg but soon even his head was covered by the black roots, which silenced his whining.
Mo Qiang then crouched down next to Fu Qi Hong; she could see that his body was not compatible with the poison. Though some people could survive the Zerg Poison, given how Fu Qi Hong's body was turning paler by the minute and his entire body was shiveling up as if it was going to turn into a ball of flesh and crumpled up bones, she knew that Fu Qi Hong might not survive it.
