The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2980 - 2981: Already Poisoned

Lin Changhong and his team reacted quickly, immediately dodging away, none of them getting entangled by the vines.

Just as they dodged away, the vines that intended to trap them suddenly vanished without a trace.

As if they had never appeared at all.

But while the vines on this side disappeared, several more strands came rolling from the other side.

"Watch out!"

Sui Zimo darted over, pulling Lin Caisang into his arms, then retreated.

As for the female team member, he naturally wouldn’t care. After one ambush, if she let the vines capture her a second time, it would be too useless.

The others saw this and also quickly dodged away.

"Hiss!"

Captain Liu was a bit slow, getting his arm caught by the vines.

But he quickly cut the vines on his arm with his sword, however...

"These vines have thorns, and they’re poisonous!"

While he spoke, his arm was already starting to turn blue.

"Swallow this."

Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo approached, took out a ceramic bottle from a golden bead space, and poured an elixir pill into Captain Liu’s hand.

At this moment, there was no time for formalities. Captain Liu tossed the elixir pill into his mouth, swallowing it without even looking for water—after all, he couldn’t get any with just one hand.

"They’re actually poisonous. This place really isn’t peaceful!" one of the trio known as the ’Fence Sitters’ nervously observed, glancing around.

"It’s never been peaceful here."

Another person replied irritably, only they had been lucky earlier, the vines didn’t come for them.

"I don’t know what’s going on. There was no sign earlier, how come it suddenly..."

"It’s a trap."

Lin Caisang stated with a cold face, his voice flat.

"A trap?"

Lin Changhong questioned in confusion, turning to look at the others.

"Did any of you trigger the trap?"

They had all stuck together; who would have triggered a trap unless... it was the old chieftain they left on the other side.

But that old man was tied up, unable to act even if he wanted to.

"The old chieftain..."

"Ah!"

Just as he thought of the old chieftain, a scream pierced the air.

Everyone turned to see the old chieftain now entwined with numerous vines, almost wrapped up like a glutinous rice dumpling.

"Help, save me!"

The old chieftain felt completely ensnared by the vines, the thorns causing excruciating pain, making it hard for him to remain conscious.

Despite shaking all over from the pain, he still managed to call for help.

"Damn it!"

Lin Changhong shouted inwardly, immediately dashing towards the old chieftain.

Yue Chushui saw this and sprang into action to help, and the others quickly followed, chopping at the vines on the old chieftain.

But this time, unlike before, the vines didn’t disappear upon being noticed, but instead tightened around the old chieftain even more.

The more Lin Changhong and the others cut, the more the vines wrapped around, never ending.

"Ugh."

The old chieftain was so encumbered he could no longer speak.

At this point, he wasn’t just tightly entangled but already poisoned; if not handled well, he would undoubtedly die!

Though unable to speak, he was relentless in seeking help.
