The road from the village to Qihai City was a bit long, and Gu Hai's body couldn't withstand the long-term high-speed movement. In addition, monsters would pop up on the road from time to time to block the way. At the end of the day, the group didn't go very far.
Much worse than expected.
Fortunately, towards evening, they found an inn, which was specially used for people who had traveled long distances to rest. It was the only one within a hundred miles where they could still eat.
I don’t know if it’s because of the treasure, but there are actually two tables of people eating in such a remote inn.
After a group of six people sat down, a waiter soon came to greet them. Yin Wuyou took advantage of everyone's ordering time and ran to the back of the inn on the pretext of being convenient.
Ever since she came up with that conjecture, Yin Wuyou has always wanted to see if the token said Qihai Palace, but she was with everyone along the way, and it was only now that she found a chance to be alone.
Yin Wuyou looked around and found no one. Then he excitedly took out the token from his arms and took a closer look. It was indeed Qihai Palace!
Yin Wuyou jumped up excitedly, it was really the key, the treasure was hers!
Little did she know, on the roof above her, a man and woman having a private meeting could clearly see her every move.
When Yin Wuyou calmed down and returned to the inn, the man and woman on the roof looked at each other, and the man asked: "Did you see clearly? What that little girl is holding seems to be the token of Qihai Palace."
The woman also narrowed her eyes: "Indeed, this treasure cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."
"Let's go and tell the boss the news."
The two of them climbed down from the roof, entered the inn through the back door, and found the innkeeper...
On the other side, Yin Wuyou was still young and couldn't hold things in his mind. He seemed to be eating his meal calmly, but when he looked at the people present, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
Yin Wuyou thought, so what if he was stronger than her? In the end, she was not the one who got the key to the treasure first. She was the one who was only one step away from the treasure.
Yin Wuchang was the first to notice something strange about his sister, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Yin Wuyou quickly shook his head and said, "We're almost here at Qihai City. I'm a little excited. I don't know what the city in the secret area looks like." She couldn't let her brother know that she had the token, otherwise it would be inevitable.
snatched away.
"That's it." Ruan Dongci took over, "I've been there once before, and it's not much different from the outside."
Yin Wuyou responded vaguely a few times and said no more.
Yin Wuchang still felt that something was not right with his sister, and planned to talk to her alone when no one was around.
Here, An Cuili was not in the mood to listen to the conversation of several people. Her attention was focused on Fu Yunxiu. Seeing that the latter had not taken a few bites of food, she took the initiative to pick up a piece of fresh monster meat.
He said: "You should eat more. Don't wait until you find Tang Mo, and your body will not be able to hold on anymore."
Fu Yunxiu looked at the meat in the bowl, put down his chopsticks with a cold expression, and said, "Sorry, I have mysophobia."
An Cuili looked at his expressionless face, which looked more like a god's. Her heart beat uncontrollably. She lowered her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. I was rude. I'll get you another pair of dishes and chopsticks."
After that, he got up and left.
Ruan Dongci, who had watched the whole process, threw his rice bowl on the table with a bang and looked at Fu Yunxiu coldly: "Don't go too far."
Fu Yunxiu sneered: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"If you don't like her, don't give her hope." Ruan Dongci gritted his teeth.
Fu Yunxiu's expression remained unchanged and he simply said: "You think too much."
"You..." Ruan Dongci wanted to say something else, but when he saw An Cuili coming back, he could only swallow it hard.
An Cuili handed over the bowls and chopsticks, but Fu Yunxiu suddenly stood up and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going back to the room first."
An Cuili paused. It wasn't until Fu Yunxiu went upstairs that she smiled forcefully and said, "Everyone, please eat quickly and rest early. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
Ruan Dongci stood up with a "swish" and wanted to go upstairs to beat Fu Yunxiu. Why should the person he cared about so much be treated like this by Fu Yunxiu?!
"Sit down and eat." An Cuili looked up at him and said expressionlessly, "Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
Ruan Dongci could only sit down and radiate all his anger on the rice in the bowl.
The Yin brothers and sisters and Gu Hai also ate quietly, as if nothing had happened, but they felt extremely embarrassed in their hearts. At the same time, they secretly sighed, Fu Yunxiu is really hard-hearted and doesn't give him any face.
After returning to the room, Fu Yunxiu could only meditate and practice in order to calm down and no longer worry about Tang Mo. After spending more than twice as long as usual in meditation, his expression became slightly more relaxed.
It wasn't until midnight that Fu Yunxiu was woken up by a scream. It was Yin Wuyou - he didn't want to be so familiar. He had heard too much in the past few days.
Fu Yunxiu stood up quickly, but before he could stand still, the door was kicked open and two masked men in black rushed in. They raised their knives and chopped him down.
Fu Yunxiu's feet flashed with lightning, and he was behind the two people in an instant. However, he did not attack the two people, but ran out the door. If he guessed correctly, the others should also have been attacked.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the room, Fu Yunxiu saw a man in black using a secret method to turn the wooden railings outside the room into a python. The snake's tail reached into the room and rolled up a person. It was Gu Hai.
Fu Yunxiu raised his hand and summoned a bolt of lightning, which landed on the python with a "crack" sound.
The python's body was immediately scorched black, and it was twisting its body wildly. It looked a little painful, but even so, it did not let go of the prey on its tail.
Fu Yunxiu frowned, and there was another lightning flash under his feet, and his figure disappeared immediately. When he reappeared, he was already beside the python. He raised the thunder knife in his hand and struck it down.
The python had no time to dodge, and its entire body was about to be split in half. The man in black who was using the secret technique was also affected, and fell to the ground in pain while holding his stomach.
Fu Yunxiu took the opportunity to rescue Gu Hai, but the latter was already unconscious, so he could only find a corner to put him away.
Then he ran to the last room in the corridor, where the previous screams came from.
At this time, the house was in a mess, and Yin Wuyou shivered in the corner. Hearing someone coming in and calling out again, he looked up and saw that it was Fu Yunxiu who cried with peace of mind.
"What's going on?" Fu Yunxiu asked with a frown.
Yin Wuyou was sobbing and crying, and said intermittently: "Someone wanted to kill me, but my brother led them out."
Fu Yunxiu walked to the window and took a look. Not only Yin Wuchang, but Ruan Dongci and An Cuili were also fighting with the men in black outside the inn.
Where did these people come from? Before he could think about it, two men in black with knives came after him again.
Fu Yunxiu clicked his tongue, and then the thunder exploded, turning into lightning spears around him, pointing at the two men in black, who froze immediately.
