Chapter 496 Eat people without spitting out bones
Caught off guard, the servant was kicked and fell into the water. After splashing around in the chest-deep water for a couple of moments, his face suddenly turned pale, and he screamed in pain. His movements in the water became somewhat chaotic, and the once calm pool around him seemed to suddenly boil, with waves splashing everywhere.

The water quickly changed from its original pale green to a blood-red stain, and the servant screamed a few times before falling silent after several ups and downs.

Only the occasional trace of his clothes could be seen amidst the churning water, which grew increasingly crimson.

Before long, the water gradually calmed down. Zhu Yu looked closely from behind and saw that there was no servant in the water, only a tattered set of clothes floating on the surface of the water where the blood had not yet dissipated.

Amidst the faint reddish turbidity underwater, a few silvery tails could be vaguely seen shimmering and dissipating.

It turns out that this seemingly calm pool actually harbors ferocious fish that can devour people until not even bones are left!
Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a little scared. She had indeed heard of such a thing before, but had never actually seen it.

I never imagined that my first encounter with piranhas would actually be witnessing them eating people...

Rune, who had been silent until now, couldn't hold back any longer at the sight of this scene. He spoke to the guard, saying, "You told him to bring us here, and he did. Why did you have to send people down to their deaths?!"

"So what? Who told him to talk so much nonsense!" The guard glanced dismissively at the clothes floating in the pool, then looked at the runes with a hint of provocation. "If you keep babbling, I'll send you down to keep him company!"

Rune frowned, and Talisman couldn't help but clench his fists so tightly they cracked.

In their eyes, the guards in front of them were nothing but a bunch of pretty faces, all show and no substance. They had strong physiques but no solid martial arts foundation. Normally, the brothers wouldn't even take such amateurs seriously; beating them would be as easy as slurping noodles.

But the situation is different now. Since Lu Qing hasn't spoken, the two brothers naturally can't invite trouble for no reason.

The guard was unaware that the two brothers had already been restraining themselves. Seeing that Fu Lu's fists, which were as big as a talisman, were clenched so tightly they were cracking, and that he seemed eager to teach these two ignorant doctor's attendants a lesson, he was stopped by his companion who shook his head at him.

These days, everyone in the palace knows that after the high priest spent so much time conditioning the king's body, the king, who was once full of vigor, has developed a habit of using women as a medicinal ingredient. His brothers have gone to great lengths to find women for him to bring into the palace.

As a result, the problem got worse and worse, and a few days ago, he almost died!
That mysterious healer is indeed very capable. After all that effort, the king is recovering. And now the king seems to be looking to hold the high priest accountable and then keep the healer close by and give him important responsibilities.

As a result, the doctor's junior brother and his followers would naturally also be promoted, so it was not advisable for them to have any conflict with these people at this critical juncture.

The guard, reminded by his companion, realized this as well and stopped trying to attack the runes and talismans. Instead, he turned around and pushed the two star gates.

The moment his hand touched the doorknob, the guard, who had just been defiant and extremely arrogant, suddenly changed his expression, abruptly pulled his hand back, and let out a painful scream.

His hand, which had been slapping the door, looked as if it had been burned, turning bright red and instantly covered in blisters. A piercing pain made him clutch his hand uncontrollably, rolling around on the ground as if trying to relieve the unbearable agony.

The redness and blisters quickly spread from his palms to his arms. The guard, who had been so fierce and ruthless, was now writhing on the ground in pain. His companions tried to comfort him, but he seemed oblivious to their words, only screaming and rolling around. After a few more rolls, his massive body repeatedly slammed into the low stone railing of the arched bridge, and in no time, the railing snapped in two.

In the blink of an eye, the fierce guard fell through the gap in the curved bridge, along with the stone railing.

The water churned with blood again, but after a short while, the surface returned to stillness. The once emerald green pool now had a red lotus, and a set of royal guards' clothes floated there as well.

As Zhu Yu looked around, he felt a complex mix of emotions. On one hand, he felt that the secluded place was surrounded by dangers, which made him uneasy.

On the other hand, seeing that arrogant guard, just like the servant he kicked in, devoured by the ferocious fish in the water in such a short time, leaving not a trace, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction at the swift retribution.

The remaining guards had much more complicated feelings at this moment.

They looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

That door seemed to be coated with a deadly poison; touching it would be extremely dangerous.

But how can you get in without touching the door?
The group looked at each other, their gazes then shifting to the runes and talismans on the side.

Although they had just silently reminded their companions not to clash with the people brought by the divine doctor, they couldn't care less about that now that danger was imminent.

The men exchanged glances and simultaneously drew their swords from their waists.

"Gentlemen, since you've come on the orders of our King, you can't just sit around doing nothing the whole way, can you? It wouldn't be right to do nothing at all!" The older one in the lead said to them with a smile, then gestured towards the runes and talismans, "I see these two young brothers are quite strong, why don't they lend a hand and open this door?"

That way, we can go in and, as the king has commanded, bring the high priest back for questioning!"

Fu Lu's brows were furrowed, but since Lu Qing didn't speak, he had to suppress his anger and couldn't go up and snatch the knife, throwing these bastards into the water to feed the fish.

“Since that’s the case,” Lu Qing, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up when the two were facing off. His voice came from behind the veil, sounding calm and without any ripples, “You two have done this small favor for the guards.”

"Yes!" The rune and talisman replied immediately.

Fu Wen stood still, his hand still on the hilt of his sword, his eyes warily fixed on the people in front of him. Fu Lu looked around and walked straight to an open space in the corner on the other side.
