20 20] Fearsome Nhi
"The sinner is back and looks like he brought friends with him this time....Haha " said one of the man that came with Arius as he laughed.
"I pity those who have to be friends with him." added another man while laughing.
"What pity. They should be ashamed. Sinner's friends are sinner and shall be dealt the same way." Said another man.
Their comment made Richard red with anger. His men were having hard time controlling their laughter. But their laughter turned into embarrassment and then into anger, after listening to the comment of the third man.
"You.. You all will die today. We outnumber you all. Kneel down before me, apologize and beg for mercy and I may let you go." Richard shouted.
It was as if the coward has suddenly transformed into a being of great might.
"Oh God!! I am afraid. See I am shivering." replied one man mockingly. And other men with him started laughing.
"Looks like the rat has grown guts." Chimed in another man as he laughed.
Richard was fuming with anger and shouted "Kill them all."
Richard along with all his 20 men dashed towards them.
"Now" shouted a man from the group of 10 and suddenly 40 more men came and surrounded those 20 men.
"Who said you have advantage of numbers. Justice always prevail. You shall be punished for your sins... "
A man continued to blabber on, as those 50 men beat those 20 to a unrecognisable state.
"Go run back to your mommy.... Haha." The man shouted as they made way for those 20 men to run and laughed out loud.
"Captain.. Captain help!!" Richard shouted as he rushed back to the camp.
"How did this happen." asked the captain with a serious look this time. His guess may be right. These people may be here just to create trouble.
"When we surrounded them to beat them. More men came from behind and beat us. There were about 50 of them." Richard said while crying in pain.
"Come, let's go. 50 of you stay here, rest of you follow me. Let's entertain some uninvited guests." The captain said as he lifted a huge hammer and proceeded to kill those who are being a nuisance.
"So many came to take care of us. We feel privileged. Haha. But do you think that these many are enough."
A man from Arius group Shouted. Listening to him the other group became wary and their captain signalled then to stop.
"We will always have more men then you. Wanna see? Here...." he raised his hand and continued. ".. On my signal.. One... Two.... Three."
On the count of three, all 50 men ran. Even when they were running, they still couldn't hold their laugh. The captain and his men still couldn't process what happened. But when they did, all they felt was embarrassment and anger which they have nowhere to vent on. Captain ordered them all to return back.

Back when the captain left with the group. Arius woke Nhi up, he moved towards the center and pointed towards the area that contained food and drinks. Nhi nodded her head and disappeared.
Arius can see her moving. She was fast like a bolt. It was like a black dot moving at the speed of lightening. He was surprised at her speed. But he expected nothing less form a creature feared by Gods.
Nhi sprayed it's poison in the barrels that contained the drinks as soon as she reached there. She didn't poisoned the food. Arius didn't know why, but he knew that Nhi was a creature with intelligence and must have its own reasons.
Then unexpectedly, instead of returning back, Nhi hid under the ground close to the barrels of booze. Arius was troubled by this, but he also knew that the little creature can protect itself. He turned back and hid again.
All the men returned with a foul mood. Nobody said anything. Seeing the foul mood, The men who stayed behind poured more drinks for everyone. They all drank to get rid of the unpleasant memory of being played around.
Arius was shocked by what he saw next. But he was also stressed. He still didn't move his eyes off the snake. It was his first time seeing the snake in action.
He now knew why the snake didn't add its poison to the food. Nhi's poison was colourless and odourless thus hard to detect. But even if you detect it, it has no antidote. Only the snake itself can cure the poison.
With just one sip, the bodies of men who drank it started heating up and they started melting.
Yes, Melting!!
The bodies of anyone below S Rank melted in 2 seconds. And those of S Rank didn't take more than few seconds to melt.
All people died within seconds. Arius was speechless. But his shock only increased, when he saw the next scene.
His jaw dropped, all the way to the ground. He now knew why Kage was so fearful of this little snake.
All the bodies have melted from poison to form a pool of blood. A small creature similar to a rat came out of somewhere. It tried to pass the open area. But as soon as it touched the blood, it melted as well.
Nhi then opened its small mouth. A suction force was created near its mouth. All that pool of blood were sucked inside its body.
The strange thing was nothing else was pulled in by the suction force.
After Nhi was done, it smiled seemingly satisfied and then rushed towards Arius like a bolt and fell asleep in its previous place.
Arius was sweating bullets, but he soon calmed himself and rushed towards their stronghold. His task here was done.

The sun has risen in the horizon. A man was riding a horse through the woods. He soon reached a camp. The guards opened the gate for him with a bow.
It was the camp where Daren and his Men have infiltrated. Morgan got the message of the men reaching the camp and he moved into action.
"Young Lord, hope you had a pleasant trip." A man clad in a plain simple dress came to greet the man who just came. He had a scar on his left cheek.
"Hope you are done with the preparation Croix ." Said the man who was referred as young lord by Croix, in blunt way. He ignored his flattery and continued to walk without stopping.
If one look at them closely, you will find them to be the same person who were discussing something in the tavern.
"Lead the way" said the young lord impatiently.
"Yes.. Yes young lord. This way." replied Croix humbly.
Croix called one of his men and asked him to prepare for the experiment.
