Yuanxiao took out the Feather of Hidden God from the storage ring, flicked it three times according to the method told by Brother Zhaiyue, and then waved his hand. The treasure enlarged and turned into a transparent bubble that wrapped itself in it. Then Yuanxiao disappeared, and the bubble disappeared too. At a glance, the place was empty.
The last time I hid inside with Brother Zhaiyue, I learned some of the properties of this invisibility treasure: it blocks sound, blocks sight, and blocks spiritual perception. No one outside can hear the sounds inside, nor can they see anything inside, but those inside can see and hear everything outside.
Yuanxiao boldly walked toward the square and looked up at the hundreds of mine entrances lining the edge. A thorough search of all the mines would take two or three months. But if he simply searched the entrances around the square, he could complete the search in an hour at most.
If Wang Yin wanted to ambush him, it could only be at these entrances near the square.
Yuanxiao walked to the mine entrance and walked along the edge of the square, observing each entrance in turn. Although it was a little dark at the entrance, with his excellent eyesight and super close observation, if there was an ambush, Yuanxiao would still be able to see it.
As soon as they reached the fifth cave entrance, they found two young men, one fat and one thin, hiding in the shadows of the cave entrance, talking in low voices. They were the same "fat and thin duo" that had been robbed and attacked by the "Wang Yin trio" before.
"I'm so unlucky today. Not only did I not see a low-grade spirit stone, but I was also beaten up! My face is swollen!" said the fat boy.
"Is that swollen from being beaten? You're just fat! My face has been beaten since I was a child. Look, two teeth have fallen out! Why did you run just now? Because you ran away, we got beaten again!" said the thin man.
"I was just scared! Who knew they would even search me!" said the fat boy aggrievedly.
"We don't have anything on us, not even a hair! Why are you afraid of a body search? You still think you are a virgin! If you were really a girl and you were so fat, I would have to avoid you! Ouch! Hiss..." The thin man cursed, but he took a breath because of the wound on his face.
"Just now, they had more people, especially one of them was the inner sect disciple Wang Yin, so I had no choice. If I had a weapon at that time, I would have fought with them on the spot and would not have run away!" The fat boy was still stubborn and trying to save face.
The thin man was about to taunt them when he heard a clang and something fell not far in front of them. The two of them groped forward two steps. The thin man picked up an iron rod and the fat man picked up a dung shovel. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Now that we have weapons, are we going to fight back?! Are we going to keep those boasts we made earlier?!
The one who dropped the two weapons was naturally Yuanxiao.
Yuan Xiao's storage ring was a treasure trove. Before leaving home, he had thrown everything from food and drink to urination, needles and thread, hunting forks, bows and arrows, spears, and many farm tools into it. Now that he heard that the fat and thin brothers were determined to fight back with weapons, he was naturally happy to help them!
Yuanxiao continued to explore each mine entrance along the edge of the square. He finally found three men lurking near the center of the mine entrance. Wang Yin occasionally poked his head out to check.
Hiding here was none other than Wang Yin and the three boys, a tall and a short. Wang Yin squatted in the front, while the two boys, one tall and one short, squatted a few steps further back beside them.
"When Yuanxiao appears, I will face the enemy head-on. You two remember to sneak around and attack them when they are unprepared!" Wang Yin was explaining the tactics and didn't feel anyone approaching at all.
"Don't worry, even if it's just for the third level of the formula and two low-grade spirit stones, we two will satisfy you!" The tall one turned to the shorter one and said, "Wait a minute, I'll kick his butt from behind, and you hold his legs to make him unable to move!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiao pulled out a wooden stick from his ring, quietly went around, and hit the tall man's butt hard. The tall man's butt was suddenly hit, and he wailed, and flew out of the hole uncontrollably, falling to the edge of the square.
The tall guy covered his butt with his hands and rolled on the ground, shocked and in pain! What on earth was that thing just now? Why did it specifically attack such a vulnerable part of the body? I haven't had a bowel movement today!
Then there was another wail, and the short man also covered his butt and flew to the edge of the square, his soul shattered! After the tall man was attacked, he looked back, but saw nothing, and then he was killed!
What on earth is this thing that specializes in the lower body? Can anyone tell me if I have pooped or not? The short guy was shocked, hurt, and embarrassed!
At the entrance of another mine, a thin man holding an iron rod and a fat man holding a dung shovel looked at each other and asked, "Do you want to do it?"
"If I don't fight back today, I'll be unworthy of this dung shovel in my hand!" said the fat man, then rushed out.
"Fat brother is so awesome! I take back what I said just now. Your face is either fat or swollen from being beaten by them!" said the thin man as he also rushed out with an iron rod.
The poor tall and short combination in the square had basically lost their ability to fight at this time. They could only protect their buttocks with one hand and their head with the other hand, rolling around on the ground, and were beaten up by the fat and thin combination.
It's the law of nature, retribution is inevitable! Heaven has its own way of retribution, no one can escape it!
Gradually, the tall and short men lost the strength to turn over, and only the sound of gasping could be heard.
The fat and thin brothers finally got rid of their anger this time! But suddenly they smelled a foul odor, and they were also confused. They often heard people in their hometown threatening to beat the shit out of each other when fighting. Did they really fight today?
…
After the two people around him were attacked, Wang Yin immediately rolled to the side and quickly stood up, taking out the night pearl, intending to find the attacker, but the mine was empty within his sight and no people or monsters were found.
Wang Yin, more knowledgeable, had heard from his cousin Wang Jin that in the world of cultivation, there were rare and exotic beasts with various abilities, some even appearing and disappearing without a trace. Even advanced cultivators could conceal their presence with the help of magic or magical weapons. But in this small mine, Wang Yin was confident he wouldn't encounter any of these strange creatures.
Wang Yin crouched down, pulled a dagger from his boot, unsheathed it, and cautiously groped his way deeper into the mine, intent on finding the attacker. Yuan Xiao leaned slightly to the side of the mine, stepped back, and waited for Wang Yin to pass before striking him in the neck with a club.
Poor Wang Yin, although cruel and ruthless, was still knocked unconscious by the blow when he was caught off guard. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, but it was stuck into the hard ground, leaving only the handle exposed.
Hey, this dagger is so sharp, it must be something extraordinary. Yuan Xiao put the dagger away and threw it into his storage ring, intending to study it later when he had time.
Yuanxiao noticed that Wang Yin had another bag besides the one he'd received from the Yunhai Sect. He took it off and opened it to examine it. Inside, he found several talismans, each with a wind, fire, thunder, or lightning symbol. These weren't items Wang Yin possessed at this point; they were likely spare offensive props lent to him by his cousin, Wang Jin. Unfortunately, he'd been knocked unconscious before he'd had a chance to use them.
Suddenly, Yuan Xiao remembered something important. He took the low-grade spirit stone sample from Wang Yin's bag and put it in his own bag. This way, he wouldn't have to explain to the sect why his low-grade spirit stone sample was missing.
Because his own low-grade spirit stone sample has now turned into a green medium-grade spirit stone, this cannot be explained, so he will not explain it. If you must explain it, then let Wang Yin explain it!
