Continuing the charade, Xi'er and Xiao'er worked together, constantly oscillating between feigning and truth.
Xi'er released an imitation poison egg and spun a tale to the onlooking crowd, disrupting the enemy's judgment.
After several fake eggs were released, no one trusted her anymore, leading them to believe that she had depleted her stock of poison eggs. Then she released a series of genuine poison eggs!
It was infuriating!
After 15 minutes, amidst a mix of real and fake poison eggs, the soldier's bodies and spirits were shattered. Nearly half of them were obliterated, and Xiao'er seized the opportunity to take down two of Master Gu Xuan's followers.
Although the eggs were poisonous, they weren't lethal. Some only caused itchy skin, others induced tears and sneezing with their poison powder.
Xi'er merely uttered terrifying descriptions of the after-effects of poisoning to scare them and distract their attention.
