Chapter 55: Taking Advantage of the Chaos
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
In Cave B2.
As if to fit the theme of the poison, a circle of jade green lanterns hung high above it, illuminating the entire cave wall with a sinister green light. It also illuminated half of Poison Master Gan Yang’s face below.
He slowly tapped his fingers on the edge of the table.
Opposite him were two waiters in black robes.
“Mr. Gan, as long as you give us the method to detoxify the poison, we will naturally hand over the Spirit Crystals after we verify it.”
Gan Yang shook his head. “What if I give you the method to detoxify the poison and you don’t admit it? No, you have to give me the Spirit Crystal first!’
“No, the Master instructed…’
“Then at least let me see Spirit Crystals, right?”
‘Well…”
At this moment, a person walked out from behind the cave shop. “You guys can leave!”
The person was wearing a black and white mask. His status was obviously not low. When the two waiters in front saw him, they immediately bowed, and the crowd instantly quietened down.
He reached into his pocket and took out a black wooden box. He placed it on the small square table and carefully opened it. “This is a Spirit Crystal. Take a look.”
Gan Yang’s breathing clearly tightened. His eyes lit up as he stared at the wooden box without blinking. “This is a Spirit Crystal?’ ‘Why does it look so ordinary?” “Is this really a treasure?”
Everyone whispered to each other.
Lin Yan blended in the crowd behind him and stuck his head out to take a look. In the black wooden box was an irregular grayish-white object the size of a knuckle. There were also some golden patterns that looked like leaf veins on the surface.
It seemed to have nothing to do with the word “Spirit Crystal”. Instead, it was more like a broken bone.
In the cave, Gan Yang’s eyes were inexplicable. After carefully observing the Spirit Crystal, Gan Yang took out a small handkerchief from his chest and placed it on the table.
“This is the formula for the antidote. Apply it to your skin and you can block the poison. You can try it.”
The man in the black and white mask waved his hand, and someone went forward to take the small handkerchief.
Cave B2 was in the poison and antidote business, and there were many medicinal herbs in the shop. Not long after, someone prepared a bowl of bright red juice and walked up.
The black-and-white-masked man glanced at the two shop assistants behind him and casually pointed at one. “You, go and try fishing out the poisonous stone in the cauldron.’
The person he pointed at trembled and said shakily, “Yes, sir!”
With that, he stepped forward and rolled up his sleeve, revealing his white and yellow arm. His hand trembled as he reached for the bright red juice.
Gan Yang revealed an inexplicable smile. “Don’t be afraid. Come, I’ll help you apply it! ‘
After saying that, he went forward and took out a handkerchief. He carefully dipped it in the antidote and carefully applied it on the waiter’s arm.
He only dropped the handkerchief when the man’s entire arm was painted bright red. He patted the waiter’s back gently and said, “Go.” His confident attitude touched the shop assistant.
The clerk walked to the cauldron and slowly reached in.
“Eh, I’m fine! I’m fine!”
The shop assistant shouted ecstatically. His hand had already entered the light green liquid in the cauldron. Looking at his state, he did not seem to feel anything.
He reached out and fumbled under the cauldron for a moment. Soon, the waiter took out an irregularly-shaped, fist-sized, and angular stone from the cauldron.
Its color was green, like bronze. There was an extremely faint green smoke rising from it.
The man in the black and white mask took a step back as if he was facing a great enemy. He immediately said, “Alright, put it back”
The shop assistant immediately let go and the stone fell into the water again. His hand was completely red and looked intact.
‘What is this?”
“The color looks so similar to the poison in the cauldron?’
“Could it be that the poison in this cauldron was made from this stone?”
The crowd whispered to each other, and Lin Yan’s eyes gradually lit up. Was there a Poison Stone in the world that could make poisonous water?
A trace of passion flashed across his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it. The person in the black and white mask looked extraordinary. It was very likely that he was at the Tough Realm.
At this moment, Gan Yang said, “Now that the verification is complete, can I leave?”
The man in the black and white mask looked at the crowd outside and said meaningfully, “Mr. Gan, this Spirit Crystal is yours.”
“Farewell!”
Gan Yang reached out and took the Spirit Crystal wooden box. He turned around and left without looking back.
The man in the black and white mask was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment on the spot and suddenly thought of something. He walked to the small square table and looked at the three sets of livers on the table. His gaze gathered on the third set of bright red livers.
Then, he took out a silver needle from his pocket and inserted it into the bright red liver.
In an instant, a black line spread up along the silver needle.
Even though he couldn’t see the expression under the black and white mask, Lin Yan could tell from the subtle changes in his body that his expression was definitely extremely ugly.
He shouted, “Bring me a pair of chopsticks!”
Soon, someone brought a pair of chopsticks over. He took the chopsticks and stabbed them into his liver. The soft feeling instantly made him feel that something was wrong.
He broke it open with all his might and instantly flew into a rage. “Gan Yang!”
‘What! ”
‘Why is it dark inside?”
“Is it black? Is it poisoned?”
“Could it be that this antidote has no effect at all?”
“Isn’t this a smokescreen?!”
“Doesn’t that mean that they were deceived by Poison Master Gan Yang…” The crowd burst into an uproar.
The man in the black and white mask exuded a forbidding aura. “Gan Yang!
You! Are! Looking for! Death!”
Suddenly, a miserable scream sounded, scaring everyone.
The waiter, who had a naked red arm and was originally safe and sound, suddenly twitched all over and fell to the ground. He tore at his chest and face in extreme pain. In an instant, the skin on his chest and face was torn to the point where bones could be seen.
“Itchy! It hurts! Save me, save me…”
In the next moment, two black pearls the size of a baby’s fist rolled out from behind him and suddenly exploded with a bang.
‘What the hell is that!”
“It’s smoke! It’s smoke!”
“F*ck! Cough, cough, cough. This smoke is poisonous!”
“This is Poison Master Gan Yang’s unique hidden weapon, the Poison Smoke
Bomb!”
“He’s already planned it!’
“F*ck! Run, run!”
“Don’t push! Who’s stepping on me!”
A piercing purple- black smoke instantly filled the air , enveloping the crowd in Cave B2 and even the entrance.
The vision of the underground Ghost Market was not good to begin with. After being blocked by the poisonous smoke, they could not see anything. There were coughs and cries everywhere.
He heard a shout from the poisonous fog. “Get lost!”
An innocent onlooker who was blocking the way bent his body into a bow shape and tore through the poisonous fog like an arrow leaving the bow. He was kicked out and directly collided with the wall of Cave A2 opposite, shattering a large area of the wall.
Immediately after, a black shadow was as fast as lightning. It instantly passed through the poisonous fog. It was the person in the black and white mask. He said angrily, “No matter who it is, whoever captures Poison Master Gan Yang and retrieves the Spirit Crystal will be rewarded heavily by the Hong family! ‘ His voice resounded throughout the entire underground Ghost Market.
In a moment of desperation, he directly announced his identity. With a step, his body moved dozens of feet and quickly disappeared at the end of the shore.
In the purple-black poisonous fog, a pair of bright and calm eyes contained fear. They quietly stared at the back of the person in the black and white mask until he disappeared at the end of the shore.
“This speed and strength. My guess was right. This person in the black and white mask is definitely not at the Strength Realm.
“You’re not allowed to use force in Ghost City.
“However, this person has no scruples. He kicked and killed the innocent people blocking the way.
“The so-called rules are just to restrain the weak. They actually have no restrictions on these powerful people.
“If I was the one he kicked just now, would I have reacted?”
“I’m still too weak. With this little strength, I might die inexplicably and innocently one day…”
Lin Yan took a deep breath. The pungent and poisonous purple-black poisonous fog entered his nose and lungs, but it instantly transformed into a scorching blood energy warmth that replenished his entire body.
It had to be said that Poison Master Gan Yang’s expertise in poison was indeed very strong. This blood energy warmth was much stronger than the Emerald Wind Powder and the Nether Return Powder.
“Therefore, keep a low profile and be careful. Then, seize every opportunity!”
He turned around, his eyes shining. Everyone staggered out, but he turned around and strode into the poisonous fog.
After some thought, Lin Yan stepped forward again. Then, he covered himself with the poisonous fog and quickly changed into a cat mask. Then, he straightened his back and draped another gray robe over his black robe.
Then, according to his memories, he went straight to Cave B2. Beside the huge cauldron, he reached into the green venom and scooped it up. The bronze-colored poisonous stone was in his hand.
‘You…”
Suddenly, there was a soft exclamation. Lin Yan immediately turned his head.
In the corner, the other shop assistant from before had actually not left. At this moment, he had already taken off his mask and was covering his mouth and nose. He kept coughing and looked at him in horror and disbelief.
“You, you’re not afraid of poison!’
The person’s eyes were filled with tears from the poisonous fog, but he still tried his best to widen his eyes to see Lin Yan’s face.
Lin Yan’s eyes flashed coldly. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard someone approaching. He could only ignore him and take out a black cloth to wrap the poisonous stone. He took the opportunity to grab a handful of poison bottles from the container beside him and turned to leave.
“Stop! You’re not allowed to leave! Wait, wait a moment.. I have great benefits…”
