Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1350 - 1400 Discussion

Bunong also agreed, but some felt Li Yifei seemed too dismissive of the opponent. Even though there was a huge difference in their strength, tossing the opponent out three times was enough of a humiliation to leave a psychological shadow on Dai Lai for half his life.

Dai Lai’s father sighed and said, "Dai Lai didn’t have any bad intentions, he was just swept away by the heat of the moment earlier."

Receiving Bunong’s look, Li Yifei quickly held onto Dai Lai’s father’s hand, shook it, and said, "Uncle, don’t worry, I only thought of it as a friendly spar earlier. Although I am in the role of a son-in-law, I am also considered one of the White Miao People. I hope this incident won’t cause any resentment."

"Ah, if only Dai Lai were as steady as you." The old man sighed again. His son was excellent, renowned in the nearby villages, and admired by countless young girls, but indeed not steady enough, too flamboyant, too fond of causing trouble, and today he kicked an iron plate.

"Haha, it’s all right, Yifei has proven his strength, indeed a master, and is also our pride of the White Miao." Brown laughed heartily, dragging Li Yifei over, declaring to everyone around them.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and grinned. He was pleasantly surprised by Brown’s praise; this uncle seemed to really like him.

Heroes receive a hero’s treatment. Li Yifei, who had been seated in the back row, was now directly moved to a seat beside Bunong, while Brown was on the other side. At first glance, some might even mistake him for the chief of the ninth village.

Sitting in the front is indeed nice, enjoying the admiring glances of the young people standing around. With a smile on his face, Li Yifei listened to the discussions. In the distance, Na Yi was surrounded by a group of young girls. The crowd went from initial worry and doubt to full belief that Li Yifei was a great master, tossing the strongest Dai Lai in the village like a sandbag several times. How powerful must he be?

"Na Yi, you’re really lucky to have found such a master to be your husband!" a young girl exclaimed with envy.

A few were about the same age; either clan chiefs or children of high status, they had high standards and were at the age of considering marriage. Seeing such a handsome, well-built man lit up their eyes.

Another young girl, the same age as Na Yi, nodded like a pecking chicken and said, "Yes, yes, tell us how you met. I’m so envious. I thought Dai Lai was pretty decent, but he liked you, otherwise I would have acted long ago. But after today, I see Dai Lai is nothing at all."

Na Yi laughed more and more happily, delighted by the flattery from her peers. She felt sweet inside, not out of vanity, but because being a woman meant a husband was like the heavens, especially in the Miao Village. A good husband makes a woman feel honored, and she knew well that Li Yifei was not only highly skilled but also exceedingly considerate, much better than the men in the Miao Village.

Ah, Nuwa Goddess, who knows how many good deeds Na Yi did in her past life to meet a husband like Yifei. Na Yi thought to herself.

Unable to resist the pleas from several young girls, Na Yi briefly shared how they met, causing this group of young girls to exclaim in astonishment, chattering nonstop.

Upon hearing that Li Yifei single-handedly rescued Bunong, the eyes of these young girls lit up all at once, immediately regarding Li Yifei as an unparalleled heroic figure.

Na Yi, basking in the glory, was filled with happiness. Occasionally glancing at Li Yifei sitting with her father in the distant bamboo house, Na Yi felt her life was worth it.

In the bamboo house, with Brown’s translation, Li Yifei basically understood the rules of the duel two days later. Since everyone played with worms, it was a Worm Fight. Each side sends a person as a trial, commonly known as entrusting themselves to the opponent for worm casting. Each time, only one worm can be cast, with a total of three attempts, best two out of three wins, deciding the ownership of the Miao Gorge.

The Black Miao People often use poisonous worms, mostly to harm people, while the White Miao People breed worms primarily for healing and saving, therefore, their attacking worms are less, though they do have them, just seldom using them.

So, the White Miao People present did not worry too much. One by one when speaking passionately, some stood up clapping and stomping loudly, shouting wholeheartedly.

In general, the atmosphere was great, the White Miao People seemed to have tolerated for a long time, long wanting to trouble the Black Miao People, especially East Hill Village’s chief Atu, who lost two clan members and was particularly active, insisting on getting an explanation from the Black Miao People.

After some discussion, Bunong clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Everyone, quiet down for a moment. The purpose of this visit is also to ask if anyone has any powerful worms. I know that due to our White Miao habits over these decades, attention to worms has been inadequate, so the previous Worm King has long passed away."

With those words, the scene fell silent. It was a major problem; everyone looked at each other, no one spoke.

Chief Atu lightly coughed, his facial wrinkles multiplying, and said, "Ahem... Cultivating a Worm King isn’t a matter of a day or two, and we have to fight worms in two days, which really is a problem."

A clan chief sighed, "Listening to Yifei, the woods around the Black Miao Village are filled with poisonous insects, indicating the Black Miao have long had this plan, even secretly cultivating worms ten years ago. While we... hastily cultivating worms is impossible."

"Regardless, we must exhaust every effort this time. We cannot give them the Holy Land, and they dare to refine even evil worms like the Forbidden Spell Blood Toad. If not for Yifei, I might have died from the Blood Toad poison this time. Sigh." Bunong said with a heavy sigh.

"What? Tianbao dared to use the Blood Toad on you?"

The crowd was taken aback and immediately looked at Li Yifei and Bunong.

"Yes!" Bunong nodded slightly and explained to everyone.

Brown stomped his feet in anger and said, "Damn it, damn the Black Miao, damn Tianbao, how dare he craft such evil worms, and even use them against you."

"So, today we need to come up with a plan, decide on the trial person, and be fully prepared. Not only should we bring out the strongest worm to stump the opponent, but we must also be prepared to completely remove the worm from the trial person!"

"Indeed, my clan has a worm, originally the Six-winged Golden Cicada, which can dissolve several types of worm poisons. I will send it over tomorrow," a clan chief said first!

"My clan also has several recipes for worm removal, I will send them over later. Additionally, I brewed a worm a few months ago, which can be used as both medicine and poison, with a terrifying toxicity, named the Five-step Worm. Anyone inflicted will collapse within a few steps if not treated immediately."

"That’s promising, I heard my grandfather mention this Five-step Worm. Be sure to send it over tomorrow," Brown quickly said.

The other nodded and said, "No problem!"

Li Yifei couldn’t find a chance to speak, but he had a thought: I am willing to offer my Whole-hearted Worm, no one can counter it, surely it will bring victory! Unfortunately, it was just a thought, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

"To deal with the Black Miao, our East Hill Village will spare no effort. My grandfather left me some Convulsive Worm eggs, kept in cold jade. When needed, just open it and drop in blood to activate them, reviving within minutes. Without an antidote, the inflicted will be in a frenzy until going mad. Back then, my grandfather explicitly forbade harming others with it, but...we can’t be too concerned now, anyway, it’s to deal with the evil Black Miao People," Chief Atu said.

Bunong nodded and said, "That’s reasonable, if we win, we can give him the antidote!"

After a round of discussions, everyone offered strategies and worms, each family had some good items and recipes. It’s a pity there’s no Worm King, which would increase the chances of victory significantly.

When it came to selecting the trial person, everyone fell silent. Just then, Dai Lai, who had calmed down outside and rushed back, walked over and said, "Let me go. I have a strong constitution and am familiar with worms. Even if they use worms, I can find a way to restrain them and prevent the worms from spreading."

Dai Lai’s father was slightly startled, he didn’t want his son to take risks. Fighting worms with the Black Miao involves life-threatening danger at any moment, as their worms are mostly poisonous...

"Father, please let me be the trial person!" Dai Lai knelt before his father and pleaded.

Upon seeing this, the crowd began to discuss. The same type of worm may affect different people differently, just like how a wound bleeds for an elder versus a strong man; the consequences can vary significantly. Therefore, choosing a strong and worm-knowledgeable person as the trial person is indeed necessary.

But will Dai Lai’s father agree?

The big-mouthed Brown also remained silent, just watching quietly.

Li Yifei felt a gaze, it was Bunong looking over. When Li Yifei looked back, he saw Bunong shake his head slightly.

Hmm? What’s Uncle Bunong implying? Not to suggest himself?

"You can’t, though your skills are fine, but worms...you are not as knowledgeable as us elders. I think it’s best if I go myself. Among the eight clan chiefs, my health is the best, my physique is robust, I can withstand the worm poison!" Dai Lai’s father shook his head, pulled Dai Lai up, and said to everyone, "Let’s settle on me as the trial person!"

"Father!" Dai Lai called out but was pushed away by his father.

Bunong shook his head and said, "No, you are the clan chief, you need to lead the entire village. Although we can’t lose this time, there’s never a guarantee of winning. If we truly lose, our clanspeople still need to live on, we can’t be without a leader." freewёbnoνel.com

Brown also chimed in, "Yeah, old stick, sit down quickly, everyone is discussing. You’re reluctant to risk your son, but there’s no need to step up yourself. Aren’t we still deliberating? At worst, let’s just send someone random, we will fully commit to worm removal!"

"Yes, yes, come on, sit down, don’t be impulsive!" a clan chief beside him stood up and pulled him back, but the old man was stubborn and refused to sit, unable to blame his son, he couldn’t backtrack after having spoken.

"I’ll be the trial person!" Li Yifei stood up at this moment and said calmly.
