Although his night vision wasn't the best in the organization, it wasn't bad either. After all, he could see more clearly when there was light. Since there was no one here, he didn't intend to let himself suffer. Moreover, for the sake of caution, he still needed to take a good look at the big wooden box to see if it was the one his employer had mentioned. He didn't want to make a mistake on this trip.
The small round bead didn't shine as brightly as the water moon stone. It seemed to be covered by a light shield, making it more hidden. The light was different from different angles. At this time, most of the light was shining on the wooden box.
He opened the lid of the wooden box and looked inside. He frowned.
This was different from what his employer said. His employer said that Yanjiao had stolen a monster like the puppets in the desert. He had seen those puppets before, so he knew what his employer was talking about. But the one in front of him, although it looked a little strange compared to a normal person, it wasn't too different. Anyway, it didn't look like the puppets in the desert. It looked more like the Yanjiao had put a dead person here.
Wasn't it? Was it the wrong one?
How could it be?!
Feeling suspicious, he opened the round box again and looked at the worm inside. It stopped at this position.
Could it be that it wasn't this secret room, but another secret room in this direction?
As he lowered his head and thought, he suddenly felt a strong and cold murderous aura. It gave him goosebumps on his back and made his hair and hair stand on end.
He had been stealing for years, so of course he knew. Every time he had this feeling, he only had to do one thing — run!
However, when he quickly put away the box and looked away, he found that the person he thought was a dead body lying inside had opened his eyes. The blood-red eyes were looking at him, and the expressionless face was moving.
Not good!
Seeing this, he thought that the Yanjiao had set up an ambush here and let someone pretend to be a dead body to lure him here. He cursed the Yanjiao in his heart. How cunning!
Just as he was about to leave, he found that his left arm, which was leaning on the wooden box, was grabbed. It was like being grabbed by the claws of a fierce beast.
Without hesitation, he shook his arm.
Crack crack crack crack —
A series of bone-cracking sounds could be heard. The arm that Gan Qie was grabbing was twisted in an instant. However, it wasn't broken by Gan Qie's grip. Instead, it was his own body that had changed. The bones in his arm became as slippery as a loach. They became thinner, curved, and slipped out of Gan Qie's hand.
After leaving the other party's palm, although his arm once again formed the shape of a long arm bone amidst a series of cracking sounds, it was not without a price. Intense pain quickly spread from his arm to his brain, and his nerves felt as if they were being plucked one after another. Hissing sounds came from between his teeth. He didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting more Yanjiao.
He didn't have the time to wonder how this person could fool him by pretending to be dead, nor did he have the time to wonder if this was a deliberate arrangement by the Yanjiao people, or if this was just another secret the Yanjiao people were hiding. Right now, he just wanted to leave this place and make plans later.
The person in the wooden box had already sat up. Seeing that he was about to chase after Gan Qie, the person twisted his waist, raised his knee, and swept his leg towards Gan Qie. He wanted to knock Gan Qie down again and buy him more time.
In response to the person's kick, Gan Qie raised his arm to block it.
Bang!
When the leg and arm collided, Gan Qie only moved slightly. He didn't stop standing up. On the other hand, the person who had sneaked in felt a sharp pain in his calf. It was as if he hadn't kicked a person's arm, but a hard metal object!
The person who had sneaked in felt even worse. To be able to get to where he was today, he definitely wasn't weak. In the past, when he fought with people, his leg was like a whip that could break people's bones. But now, not only did he fail to knock Gan Qie down, he almost broke his own leg with a kick?!
This was unbelievable!
Retreat!
In the face of such an opponent, he didn't want to fight anymore. He knew that his opponent was difficult to deal with, but he didn't care about Gan Qie.
Hence, the person ignored Gan Qie and ran towards the stone door of the secret room. Like a gust of wind, he was about to slip out in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, the moment he reached the stone door, the door, which was wide enough for two people, was closed with a bang.
He ran too fast and didn't stop. The person who had sneaked in crashed into the stone door. The dust on the door was shaken off by the impact.
Motherf * cker Yanjiao people!
If he still didn't know who was behind all this, he would really be an idiot.
When he saw the person lying inside, he suspected that the Yanjiao people had already prepared for this. Now, he was sure!
He grabbed the dented part of the stone door and pulled, but it didn't move an inch.
As he cursed, the man heard the approaching footsteps behind him. He couldn't care less about continuing to pull the door open. He lowered his body, swung his shoulders, and bent his arms. Without turning his head, he threw a series of elbow strikes, hitting the people behind him like a torrential rain.
Bang bang bang bang!
It was as if he had hit a hard rock instead of a human body.
Gan Qie stared at the person in front of him without blinking. It was as if he wasn't the one who was hit. He took two small steps back and regained his balance. Then, he raised his leg and kicked the person behind the stone door.
The strength of this kick was far greater than the previous one. The strong force landed on the person's abdomen and sent him crashing into the stone door. The sound of bones breaking could be heard in the air.
The person who was kicked landed heavily on the ground with a muffled thud. He curled up and wailed in pain.
Outside the door, Shao Xuan stood by the stone door. He held the door with both hands to prevent it from being opened. He was the one who closed the door just now.
Duo Kang and Zheng Luo, who had rushed over, heard the banging sounds and patted the dust off their bodies.
"Is that Han tribesman really alright? After all, this person could be one of the robbers. " Zheng Luo was worried. Not only were the robbers not caught, but Gan Qie, who had just been resurrected, was also killed.
"It's fine. It's just that Gan Qie has an advantage in here." Most bandits were known for their fast speed and ability to escape. However, if they were trapped in a small space, their escape skills would not be of much use. If they could maintain their stamina, it would be fine. However, if they could not hold on for long, they could only be beaten up.
"Plus, Gan Qie probably needs to vent," Shao Xuan said.
He had been like a corpse for many years. It wasn't easy for him to wake up with external help, only to realize that everything he knew was wrong. Even if they tried to save him, it was too late. His tribe was gone and he had become like a ghost. His digestive system had changed and he couldn't eat many things anymore. The most convenient way was to drink blood. Who could bear to turn from a normal person into this? He had never been able to release his pent-up emotions. Perhaps this time, he could use the robbers to vent.
Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Zheng Luo and Duo Kang thought it was a good idea. After all, they were robbers. They would feel good if they could make the robbers suffer. Why wouldn't they?
After thinking it through, Zheng Luo and Duo Kang were no longer in a hurry. They sat outside and waited. Their ears perked up, listening to the sounds inside and guessing the situation.
Inside the secret room.
Gan Qie walked towards the intruder step by step. His footsteps weren't loud but he maintained an even speed and strength.
Tap, tap, tap …
Every sound sent chills down the intruder's spine. He felt the temperature in the secret room drop sharply. The intruder realized that the intruder wasn't panting! No heartbeat! Not even breathing!
If it was a normal person, even if they could fool him by pretending to be dead, they would still be panting, their heartbeat would change, and their blood flow would change. He knew all these too well. In the past, he would use these to understand his opponent's true emotions. After all, facial expressions and actions could be deceiving. However, some of the characteristics of the body could reflect a person's true emotions.
But now, all of these were useless!
This person was really like a corpse!
If it wasn't for the fact that he looked so different from the puppets in the desert, the intruder would have thought that this was what he was looking for!
No, maybe …
The intruder was shocked when he thought of this possibility.
At this moment, Gan Qie was already in front of the man who was curled up on the ground. Suddenly, the man slid away from the stone door and away from Gan Qie like a loach. Then, with a sudden movement of his ankle, he spun up. His hands, which were originally hugging his abdomen, opened outwards. Dozens of sharpened small spindle shaped blades flew out and drew different arcs in the air. Wherever the blades passed, the air seemed to be cut into pieces. With a series of whooshing sounds, the sharp blades pierced into various parts of Gan Qie's body.
Instantly, Gan Qie's chest, back, shoulders, thighs, and even his neck and head were pierced by thin, spindle-shaped blades.
However, the intruder's heart sank when he threw these blades out.
Something was wrong!
These hidden weapons that could easily pierce through animal skins and wooden planks seemed to have hit a harder rock. They couldn't go any further. Only a part of them was stuck in and the other part was exposed.
Even if they couldn't penetrate deeply, they would still cause some damage. However, the person who was pierced like a hedgehog didn't seem to notice the injuries on his body. He didn't even make a sound and maintained his original appearance. He didn't even blink.
Also, blood would flow out if he was pierced. However, he didn't smell any blood. It was as if this person didn't have any blood.
How was this possible?!
While the intruder was still in shock, Gan Qie was like an agile monkey in the forest. He changed his slow pace and sped up, chasing after the intruder who was trying to escape.
The intruder had the advantage in terms of speed. However, he was already injured and dodging consumed a lot of energy. After a while, his dodging speed slowed down. At this moment, an arm that was much thinner than the Yanjiao's arm smashed into his back.
The force behind the blow sent him flying. His face slammed into the wall with a loud bang. His nose was broken and two of his teeth were broken. The smell of blood filled his mouth.
Outside the door, Duo Kang shook his head when he heard the sound of something crashing into the wall. "Why are the robbers so daring? They don't learn from their mistakes. "
Didn't Robber Eleven, Twelve, Six, and Seven all suffer at the hands of the Yanjiao? How dare they come here?
"Could it be someone else?" Duo Kang asked.
"No, it's very likely," Zheng Luo said.
"No matter who it is, we'll find out soon." Shao Xuan listened to the commotion inside. It wouldn't last long. They would find out soon.
"What if Gan Qie kills him?" Duo Kang asked.
"I don't think so. After all, he's the one who wants to know the truth the most," Shao Xuan said.
In the secret chamber, the person who had been beaten to a pulp felt a mixture of physical pain and shock in his heart. He couldn't believe that what he had just experienced was real. However, he was the one who had been beaten, so he had no choice but to believe it.
The person in front of him had no heartbeat or breath. It was as if he didn't even need to breathe. He was too similar to the strange puppets in the desert!
Could it be that the Yanjiao had already gained control of another type of monster similar to the desert puppets?
He knew about the puppets in the desert. In order to completely immobilize them, one had to break their bones bit by bit. The monster in front of him was probably the same. However, it was too difficult to do that to the person in front of him. His bones were too hard.
He knew that he couldn't win against such a powerful puppet. If he continued, he would only be beaten to death. He had to escape. However, the stone door was tightly shut and he couldn't open it. He couldn't defeat the person inside either. He could only try his best to avoid the opponent's attacks and stall for time. Perhaps he could talk to the Yanjiao people?
Just as that person was about to escape, a hand pressed down on his head, pushing him down as he was about to take a step forward.
His legs knelt on the ground. His bones hit the stone floor with a loud thud.
The man screamed in pain again. His fingers gripped the scimitar that looked like a beast's claws and slashed at the hand pressing down on his head.
Poof poof poof!
The sound of the weapon slashing against Gan Qie's arm was strange. It didn't sound like a normal person's arm. It didn't feel right either!
When he slashed, the man purposely aimed for a few important blood vessels on Gan Qie's arm. However, just like before, there was no sound of blood spurting out. There wasn't even the smell of blood!
Moreover, when the scimitar broke through Gan Qie's skin and touched his bones, it was as if it was blocked by a hard metal object. It couldn't go any further.
The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became. The hand on his head didn't move an inch!
In the darkness, the man could make out the general appearance of the person holding his head. He could also see that the other person's eyes were different from normal people's. Those eyes were cold and emotionless. No, the hand on his head didn't have any warmth either!
A cold chill seeped into his limbs and bones. Every bone in his body seemed to be unable to withstand the chill and was trembling. Especially when he felt the fingers on his head begin to tighten. He really could not hold it in any longer. He was afraid that if he was a step late, his head would not be complete.
"Don't kill me! I didn't want to come here. Someone asked me to come here! It's Su Le! It's Su Le, the second young master of Fallen Leaves City in Rock Hill City! " In the face of the fear of death, the man's face contorted with pain became even more ferocious. It was as if he was throwing caution to the wind and yelling with all his might. He was afraid that the Yanjiao outside the secret chamber wouldn't be able to hear him.
At this point, he no longer cared about the benefits that Su Le had promised him. Although the thought of those benefits still made his heart ache. He wanted nothing more than to kill the Yanjiao who had set this trap. But now, he was the one who had lost. He could only admit defeat! At a time like this, if he didn't use Su Le as a shield, was he supposed to attract the hatred himself?
After yelling, the man felt the hand on his head stop tightening. He relaxed and thought to himself, Sure enough, it's more useful to use someone else as a shield. Perhaps he should have said more. That way, he could have negotiated with the Yanjiao to save his life. As for the Yanjiao and Su Le, let them fight it out. It would be best if both sides suffered great losses!
The man lowered his head slightly and panted heavily. Every time he breathed, he felt immense pain in his body. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he looked at the stone door from the corner of his eyes.
But in the next moment, the man, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, felt his body freeze again.
Someone spoke, but the voice didn't come from outside the door. It came from above him.
"Who are you? And who is Su Le? "
The voice was a little strange. Some of the words used were also strange. But this didn't stop him from understanding the other party. He raised his head in shock. The hand on his head was still pressing down, so he could only raise it slightly. He tried his best to look up and meet the other party's eyes.
"Wh … What?" The man, whose head was pressed down, trembled as he spoke.
"Who are you? And who is Su Le? "Gan Qie thought that the man didn't understand and spoke slower this time.
What Gan Qie didn't know was that the man on the ground couldn't believe what he was seeing. It wasn't that he didn't understand.
Wasn't this another type of puppet that Yanjiao had imitated the Rock Hill City people to control? Wasn't this a corpse?!
No, that couldn't be right!
A controlled corpse puppet couldn't speak! Then what was this thing in front of him?! Or, was this a helper that Yanjiao had found?
Gan Qie saw that the man didn't speak. He pressed down harder on the man's head.
Feeling the pain on his head, the man finally snapped out of his shock. Now wasn't the time to dwell on these questions!
"I'll talk! Don't hit me! I'll tell you everything! "
Feeling the fingers on his head stop, the man's Adam's apple bobbed. He swallowed a mouthful of blood and tried his best to calm down so that he could analyze the situation and find a scapegoat.
"It was Su Le who found me. He said that he lost something important and that Yanjiao stole it. He asked me to help him find it. It's true! He even gave me a bug box to look for it. "As he spoke, the man took out the bug box.
Although the bug box was made of wood, it was very resilient. When the man was beaten up, the bug box was also affected. However, there were only some dents on the bug box. The inside of the box didn't change much.
Gan Qie looked inside the opened bug box. The wriggling worm was wriggling in his direction. It was using its head to knock against the wall of the box.
The man obviously noticed it as well. His expression changed as he turned the wooden box in his hand, turning the worm against the wall of the box to face him. However, when he stopped, the worm started moving again. It crawled along the wooden box and the wall of the box. Then, it stopped in front of Gan Qie and used its head to knock against the wall of the box.
The man's hand that was holding the wooden box began to tremble.
The worm's reaction was enough to prove the identity of the man in front of him.
This was the "lost thing" that Su Le had mentioned! This was the goal of his trip!
After realizing this, the man's heart was filled with regret.
Su Le, you f * cking lied to me!
Didn't you say that the Yanjiao stole something similar to those puppets in the desert?! Didn't you say that the lost thing was an ancient corpse that couldn't be more dead?!
Then, who was the person who had beaten him half to death and almost crushed his head into pieces?!
How was this person similar to those puppets in the desert that resembled dried corpses?!
Oh, this weirdo could still talk. Other than the fact that he didn't have a heartbeat, didn't bleed, and didn't pant, which part of him resembled an ancient corpse that had been dead for a long time?!
Or did he come to life?!
I don't f * cking believe it!
