Chapter 307: Chapter 307

Under these circumstances, the Mo Family Head naturally had to avoid him—of course, not to avoid Xiaoyao, but to avoid those people's attacks. He didn't want to become a fish caught in the crossfire.

"Alright, let's end this here. Be careful, I'm about to use my killing move." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

When Xiaoyao said this, no one thought he could do anything. They felt this might just be a bluffing tactic to find a chance to escape this death trap, but soon they discovered something was wrong.

They saw that after Xiaoyao finished speaking, he suddenly took several baseball-sized round objects from his body and threw them toward various parts of the room.

At this moment, almost everyone's minds were filled with such doubts, but soon they knew the answer, or at least part of it.

When those round objects made contact with things—whether the ground, furniture, or people's bodies—they immediately exploded. The power wasn't great and couldn't injure anyone, but the problem was that after the explosion, large amounts of smoke appeared, and it wasn't ordinary smoke.

"Oh no, it's poisonous."

From the first moment they inhaled the smoke, everyone felt their bodies becoming abnormal. They understood this smoke wasn't just smoke, but a type of poisonous fog.

"That's right, it's poisonous. For those below Emperor Level, unless they have an antidote, inhaling even a little will damage their strength." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Everyone's faces changed. They hadn't expected Xiaoyao to carry such things with him, and this poison was obviously no simple matter. Ordinary poisons were very difficult to affect martial artists, and poison that even those below Emperor Level couldn't resist was even more extraordinary—it wasn't something that could be bought with money alone.

Why would he have such things?

At this moment, everyone didn't think much about it. Their first reaction was to hold their breath and then retreat from the range of this poisonous fog, which meant outside this room.

If this were an open area, they could casually use their true qi to keep this poisonous fog away from themselves, but not here. The design here made it very difficult for this poisonous fog to be expelled in a short time. Xiaoyao seemed to have grasped this characteristic.

They didn't dare stay too long in the poisonous fog, because at this moment Xiaoyao said another sentence—

"Also, if you inhale it for too long, you'll definitely die."

It was this sentence that made them all not dare to stay in this room any longer. Even if they doubted Xiaoyao's words, they couldn't possibly gamble their lives on it.

In fact, Xiaoyao wasn't lying. If these people stayed here longer, the result would only be death. This poison was something he used for self-defense—how could it be simple?

There wasn't a single Emperor Level person here, so they all retreated. However, they didn't think Xiaoyao's action would cause them any trouble, because they could guard the exit and Xiaoyao still couldn't escape.

What they found somewhat strange was that after everyone retreated, Xiaoyao activated the mechanism and sealed the entire room.

What was he trying to do? If he did this, he would be even more unable to escape. Also, how did he know about this mechanism?

Everyone's minds were filled with doubts, completely unable to understand what Xiaoyao was doing. Soon, something occurred to them.

"Oh no, he's waiting for someone to rescue him. As long as he delays time, Mo Yu will definitely discover this situation, and then he'll be fine." Lin Yi shouted.

That's right, if Xiaoyao stayed inside and didn't come out, as long as he delayed time until the Young Miss came, he definitely wouldn't be in trouble.

However, was this what Xiaoyao was thinking? Would he wait for others to rescue him?

He wouldn't, because he didn't like putting his life in others' hands, letting others decide his life and death. Even with the Young Miss, he didn't like it. He purely disliked this feeling, unless it was absolutely necessary.

The current situation didn't seem to have pushed him to this step yet. He must have other purposes for doing this.

"It's useless. With our abilities, we can't damage this place." The Mo Family Head said helplessly. At this moment, he had a feeling of "lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot."

The thing he had intended to use against others was now blocking his own steps. This feeling was beyond depressing.

"Sir, what should we do? Oh no..." The Mo Family Head habitually went to ask the Divine Calculator, but at this moment, he discovered that the Divine Calculator wasn't here. This situation easily led to one thought—that the Divine Calculator was still inside.

The Divine Calculator was most famous for divine calculation, and his strength level was only Human Level, which he had only reached through practicing divine calculation. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have Human Level.

Xiaoyao's poisonous fog gave those above General Level time to react, and even if they inhaled a little, they still had the ability to move. But for those below Scholar Level, it would be somewhat difficult, not to mention Human Level.

Therefore, the Divine Calculator, being the only Human Level martial artist there at the time, had no way to leave this room. When others were focused on saving their own lives, who would care about the Divine Calculator?

In fact, although the Divine Calculator had high status in the Mo family, under normal circumstances, he only answered to the Mo Family Head. Correspondingly, others had no responsibility to watch over him. Simply put, even if they remembered him, no one would stop their escape to save him, even if it were just a matter of convenience.

This was perhaps the Divine Calculator's tragedy. He made himself too special and kept his distance from people. This also declared that he wouldn't have any personal relationships—this was the universal principle that you can't have something without losing something else.

As for the Mo Family Head, he was an important person. How could he have time to care about others? This was his habit, and it was this habit that made it impossible for him to think of saving the Divine Calculator at this moment.

The current result was that even if the Divine Calculator wasn't poisoned to death by the fog, he might fall into Xiaoyao's hands. Either way, it was something the Mo Family Head didn't want to see.

Soon, things developed in the direction he didn't want to see.

The Divine Calculator was now lying on the ground. At this moment, he was calculating in his heart whether he should speak up or not. If he didn't speak up, perhaps Xiaoyao wouldn't discover him.

However, even without calculating fate, he knew the result of this—he would definitely die, because continuing to inhale Xiaoyao's poisonous fog would kill people.

As for Xiaoyao, when he closed the mechanism, he had already checked if there was anyone inside. Therefore, he naturally knew the Divine Calculator was lying on the ground. However, he pretended not to know, to see if the Divine Calculator would speak up. If he didn't speak up, he would just let him die here—it wouldn't matter.

"Young Master Xiaoyao, save me..." The Divine Calculator helplessly called out at this moment. While Xiaoyao could pretend not to know, he couldn't. If he continued pretending, he would die, and no one could risk their life for pretense.

"Oh, Divine Calculator, why did you stay here waiting to die? Do you want to die heroically for the Mo family?" Xiaoyao seemed to have just discovered him and spoke to the Divine Calculator.

"Young Master Xiaoyao, the one who wants to kill you is the Mo Family Head, not me. I'm only responsible for fortune telling. Even if you want to blame someone, don't blame me. Save my life, and I'll be grateful to you." The Divine Calculator was very practical—at least when facing life and death, he was very practical, without pride, only humble pleading.

It must be said that this Divine Calculator was very sensible. He wouldn't be like those idiots who were already facing death but still threatened people—that would only force someone to have killing intent.

However, although the Divine Calculator was very sensible, Xiaoyao had no intention of saving him. He just looked at the Divine Calculator and said, "Calculate now whether you can survive this time. If you get it right, I'll save you."

"..." The Divine Calculator immediately fell silent. Xiaoyao's statement was undoubtedly toying with him. If he said he could survive, Xiaoyao would definitely say he was wrong and wouldn't save him.

And if he said he couldn't survive, then if Xiaoyao saved him, that would also be wrong. This wasn't just ruining his own reputation.

He had to choose between wanting to live or wanting his reputation ruined.

The Divine Calculator felt it was better to want to live. If his reputation was ruined, so be it—at least his life would remain. Also, people outside didn't know the situation inside, so no one would know his reputation was ruined.

"Oh right, I forgot to remind you—people outside know everything that's happening here. Although they can't come in, they can still see and hear." Xiaoyao reminded him with a smile, his expression very playful.

"What?." The Divine Calculator was somewhat at a loss. The reason he was showing such weakness now was because he felt no one knew what was happening here. Even if things came to light later, he could directly deny it since there was no third party present.

The reason he could be so certain about this was because the Mo Family Head had told him about this room's functions.

"Impossible. The Family Head said that when this room's mechanism is activated, it can be isolated from the world—outsiders can't hear or see."

Soon, the Divine Calculator understood that Xiaoyao was right. This could indeed be seen and heard, because after the poisonous fog dispersed, he saw the Mo Family Head and others staring at him with less than pleasant expressions.

What was going on? Could the Mo Family Head have been lying to me? Impossible, this was impossible. He had always listened to my every word—he couldn't have lied to me.

Moreover, this was also to prevent the Mo family's Young Miss from seeing, which was why they did this. If she happened to discover something, as long as they activated the mechanism, the Young Miss wouldn't be able to discover Xiaoyao.

Under such circumstances, why would he lie to me? There must be something I don't know about this.

The Divine Calculator looked toward Xiaoyao. He understood that Xiaoyao would definitely know this answer.
