Chapter 409 - Chapter 409 Chapter 405 Backlash

Chapter 409: Chapter 405 Backlash Chapter 409: Chapter 405 Backlash Taotie had parked the raptor truck at the entrance of the camp, blocking the entrance and effectively building a defensive structure to prevent direct attacks.

With so many people dizzy in the camp, relying solely on Fang Xiaocao, Taotie, Brainless, and Unhappy was definitely insufficient for protection.

Additional defensive measures were necessary.

Taotie pushed open the door of the raptor truck’s cab, got down from the vehicle, and walked towards Fang Xiaocao.

Brainless and Unhappy had gone out for a pointless trip and returned, jumping out of the bed of the raptor truck.

Taotie, along with Brainless and Unhappy, gathered around Fang Xiaocao, curiously watching her as she spaced out.

“Princess Your Highness, how should we deal with Old Tom and the others? Should we also move them into Thousand Faces’ tent?”

Taotie asked curiously.

Fang Xiaocao shook her head, “No!”

“There are too many people. I need to cure them. You and Brainless, first carry Tom and Hummingbird into my tent.”

Fang Xiaocao commanded.

“Yes.”

Taotie responded.

He bent down and, with a princess carry, picked up Tom and strode towards Fang Xiaocao’s tent.

Brainless and Unhappy carried Hummingbird, following behind Taotie.

Fang Xiaocao picked up her AK47 and followed them into the tent.

“I need to remove the control from Tom and Hummingbird. Without my orders, no matter what you hear, do not come within two meters of the tent, let alone storm in, or you will be killed on the spot.”

Fang Xiaocao said with a serious expression.

As she spoke, she patted the gun in her hand.

“Yes!”

Seeing that Fang Xiaocao was not joking, Taotie put away his playful smile and responded solemnly.

“Remember, it’s two meters!”

Fang Xiaocao solemnly reminded.

“I remember.”

Taotie nodded in response.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, sent the three of them out of the tent, made sure they were at least two meters away from the tent, and then zipped up the tent flap.

“Sigh…”

Fang Xiaocao let out a heavy sigh.

It was not that Fang Xiaocao was making a fuss over nothing.

She genuinely did not dare to let Taotie and the others help or even let them come close.

She was holding a Mental Antidote in her hand.

And all three of them, Taotie included, had been hypnotized by her. The scent of the antidote could break their hypnosis.

Tom and Hummingbird were tied up tight as crabs. Even if their hypnosis was broken, Fang Xiaocao would have enough time to hypnotize them again.

But it was different with Taotie and the others.

Once their hypnosis was broken, it would be like releasing three fierce tigers from their cages. In the cramped environment of the tent, if all three were to break free, Fang Xiaocao could not handle them alone.

Especially Taotie, who was not only strong in combat.

But also had a strong will.

He naturally possessed a layer of mental immunity.

Initially hypnotizing Taotie required Tom to severely injure him first so that she could take advantage of his vulnerability, and even then, it took a great toll and caused significant recoil before she succeeded.

Fang Xiaocao thought that the person secretly hypnotizing those around her had hypnotized almost everyone but had refrained from targeting Taotie, probably out of fear of Taotie’s willpower and combat power.

One was unable to get close to Taotie.

Second, he wasn’t sure he could hypnotize Taotie.

Even if he played dirty, using the Mental Antidote to release the hypnotism he had laid on Taotie, that person wouldn’t dare.

Given Taotie’s temperament, once the hypnotism was lifted, it wasn’t certain whether he would come after Fang Xiaocao, but the person right in front of him would definitely die.

As for Brainless and Unhappy, they were both tough nuts to crack. Brainless was somewhat manageable, but Unhappy possessed a combat power that was no less than Taotie’s.

That person also wasn’t confident about getting close.

The price and the benefit couldn’t be balanced, which made that person give up doing what he wasn’t sure about.

According to Hot Noodles, it seemed that the Mental Antidote had no effect on those hypnotized by the Blood Jade Ring, but Fang Xiaocao didn’t want to gamble.

What if Hot Noodles hadn’t explained clearly?

What if it became ineffective after being released?

If Brainless and Unhappy lost control directly…

Wouldn’t that be like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet?

Fang Xiaocao felt that it was better to stay vigilant. After all, caution is the parent of safety.

Calming his emotions, Fang Xiaocao, holding the Mental Antidote in one hand and the Blood Jade Ring in the other, walked over to Tom and Hummingbird. He opened the cap of the Mental Antidote, and a faint fragrance of flowers instantly wafted out of the bottle and into Fang Xiaocao’s nostrils.

The pale green elixir in the small bottle evaporated at a visibly rapid rate.

At this sight, Fang Xiaocao was startled and hurriedly capped the bottle again.

In just ten seconds.

The Mental Antidote in the small bottle had evaporated by one scale unit.

And there were only ten scale units of the Mental Antidote in the bottle.

It was precious, so Fang Xiaocao didn’t dare to squander it.

What if it was needed later?

The Mental Antidote really worked.

Tom and Hummingbird both reacted at the same time.

Fang Xiaocao could clearly feel the mental bond between him, Tom, and Hummingbird vanish, feeling as if someone had struck him on the head, dizzy and with a warm nose, as two streams of blood trickled out, a backlash from the broken hypnotism.

Fang Xiaocao wiped the blood from his nose, shook his head to clear it, and right when Tom opened his eyes, he pressed the Blood Jade Ring against Tom’s forehead.

And he performed hypnotism again.

His eyes instantly turned into abyssal depths, meeting Tom’s gaze, amplifying the hypnotic effect through the Blood Jade Ring, which glowed red, a shaft of red light piercing into Tom’s pineal gland.

The next second!

Fang Xiaocao felt the mental bond, which had previously vanished, reappear between him and Tom.

And it was even stronger than before.

So strong that even Fang Xiaocao himself would have difficulty breaking it, and just then the light from the Blood Jade Ring instantly vanished.

“Princess Your Highness?”

Seeing Fang Xiaocao, Tom was a bit surprised.

Tom clearly remembered that when he was more than an hour’s drive from Fang Xiaocao, he suddenly saw several Lizardmen pressing down on Yu Tianqi.

Tom and Hummingbird, upon Yu Linger’s request, decided to intervene to save Yu Tianqi.

So, they left the car and began fighting the Lizardmen.

After he and Hummingbird had killed all the Lizardmen, Yu Tianqi suddenly turned traitor, sneak attacking Hummingbird, and with Tom furious and about to kill Yu Tianqi, a one-eyed Black-robed Person suddenly appeared beside him.

As he locked eyes with the Black-robed Person, everything went dark, and he lost consciousness.

How come now, upon waking up, he found himself embarrassingly bound, while the Princess he adored appeared before him?

Hearing Tom’s familiar address, Fang Xiaocao smiled weakly, “It’s alright now, welcome home, my Knight.”

Fang Xiaocao made sure that the scent of the Mental Antidote in the air didn’t produce any more effects on the mental bond between her and Tom before she heaved a sigh of relief, pulled out a Dagger, and cut the ropes around Tom…
