Chen Tian swallowed. The middle-aged man's face was covered with rotten flesh, and there was coagulated blood in some places.
On the left cheek, there were five clear scratches, and the entire face was like a dead corpse, so rotten that it made people feel sick to their stomachs.
However, what made Chen Tian even more experienced was that although the middle-aged face was severely decayed, the original outline could still be clearly seen, and Chen Tian knew who he was at a glance.
He is the leader of the Lion Mercenary Group - the Fiery Lion!
The Fiery Lion was originally a six-star spiritual master. Although he was nothing in a big city, in Kalan City, it could be said that apart from the patriarchs of the four major families, he was the strongest.
Now Chen Tian's heart is full of questions. The Fiery Lion was originally a six-star spiritualist, but why has he now fallen to the level of a five-star spiritualist? Why is he in this state? Is there any other reason?
"Brother, I want to buy this fourth-order crystal core." The Fiery Lion took out the blood-red crystal core, his eyes were full of fear, and his voice was trembling.
"Yes." Chen Tian nodded. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that his end was closely related to this fourth-order crystal core. Chen Tian slowly took off his bamboo hat and said.
"Are you Chen Tian?" The Fiery Lion widened his eyes, looked at Chen Tian warily, and said coldly. He did not expect that the young man in front of him would be a member of the four major families. If so, it would not be good.
Already.
"Don't worry, I won't tell others. Don't you still believe me, Chen Tian?" There is no surprise at all about the change in the attitude of the Fire Lion. When the Fire Lion snatched the crystal core, the person who pursued him most ruthlessly was Karan.
People from the four major families in the city.
As for Chen Tian, who was the most talented young man in Karan, his appearance was easily recognized by others.
The Fiery Lion hesitated, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Since Brother Chen Tian said this, what can I say, the Fiery Lion? Is there anyone in Kalan City who doesn't know your name, Chen Tian?"
Seeing that the other person had lowered his guard, Chen Tian chuckled, then looked at his face and asked, "By the way, are you the only one here? Are your other brothers with you?"
Hearing Chen Tian's words, the Fiery Lion showed a sad smile, shook his head repeatedly, walked slowly to the somewhat moldy bed, and said with a sad smile: "They are all dead, they are all dead."
"Huh? Are they all dead?" Chen Tian's heart trembled. The Lion Mercenary Group disappeared from everyone's sight after snatching the crystal core, and they had never heard of any members being killed, so how could they all be dead?
Woolen cloth?
Could it be related to the crystal core? Chen Tian soon knew the answer.
"Brother Chen Tian wants to know the reason, right?" Seeing Chen Tian's tangled look, the Fiery Lion raised his head and said.
Chen Tian nodded. Where exactly the Fire Lion went has been a topic of discussion and speculation by many people. Some people even made bets on how many days the Fire Lion could escape.
The entire city of Kalan went completely crazy over this. In the end, after a long time, there was still no news, and then the matter dropped and all kinds of rumors started flying all over the sky.
Now that the huge mystery was finally solved, Chen Tian felt indescribably excited.
The Fiery Lion slowly raised the crystal core and said with an indifferent expression: "When we snatched the crystal core, we were chased by many forces. Fortunately, I opened a secret passage three kilometers away from here, so we were chased after
During the killing, my brothers and I all crawled into that passage and lived in this warehouse that was originally used to store hunting items."
"We were all very excited at that time. If we get this fourth-order crystal core, we will definitely sell it for a very high price. We fantasize about the days of soaring into the sky, but what we didn't expect is that this originally lucky crystal will...
Nuclear, but it is the beginning of our bad news."
"At that time, because I was seriously injured and the brothers in the group had different opinions, an internal conflict broke out. Seven of the remaining dozen brothers died in the internal conflict. In the end, everyone was deadlocked and decided to share the bullet.
Crystal core, what I didn't expect was that the spiritual power in this crystal core was very weird. After we absorbed the spiritual power, we found that our cultivation level had actually regressed, and our body also felt inexplicably itchy. The itching was very human at all.
I could bear it, but several brothers chose to commit suicide because of the unbearable pain."
"And I am the last person to survive. In the past two years, I have hid my identity and resold my previous inventory, barely surviving to this day." After saying that, the Fire Lion laughed lightly, and the laughter was full of emotion.
Lonely." One wrong step and one wrong step. I didn't expect that I, the Fiery Lion, would end up like this."
Chen Tian looked at the Fiery Lion. In addition to sighing, the only thing left in his heart was doubt. What on earth was that crystal core? How could it make a person's cultivation regress and cause huge itching in the body? This really made people uncomfortable.
untie.
"Take it, you won't be charged a penny, but brother Chen Tian, please don't absorb it, keep it as a souvenir." While Chen Tian was meditating, the Fiery Lion threw the crystal core in his hand to Chen Tian and said.
Chen Tian took the crystal core he threw over, looked at the lonely figure, took out the remaining five thousand gold coins, put it on the ground, and said: "I, Chen Tian, never want to owe others a favor, so I will treat these five thousand gold coins as my own."
I’ll buy you this crystal core.” As he spoke, Chen Tian walked out of the hut filled with the smell of blood.
Chen Tian didn't sigh too much about the Fiery Lion. If the Fiery Lion wasn't greedy, how could it have ended up like this?
Turning the crystal core in his hand, Chen Tian asked: "Teacher, what on earth is this and how can it be so evil?"
"Evil." Wuming heard Chen Tian's words, snorted lightly, and said lightly: "That's because they don't know the goods. This thing is not evil at all. A truly evil monster with this crystal core, if I didn't
If you guess wrong, that monster is a cursed monster."
"A cursed monster? Teacher, what is a cursed monster?"
"This. It's better not to ask about this now. You will know one day." Wuming hesitated a little after hearing Chen Tian's question.
"Okay, I won't ask. By the way, can this crystal core still be used?" If this crystal core cannot be used, it would be such a waste. It costs five thousand gold coins!
Wuming chuckled lightly and said, "This can be used, but it's more troublesome to absorb it."
Hearing this, Chen Tian also laughed and said: "It would be great if it can be used. I was worried about this at first, but I didn't expect to get the crystal core so soon." Chen Tian didn't think much about whether there were any side effects.
, since Wuming said there is a way, it can definitely be solved, and now he just needs to practice hard.
He put on the black hat again and walked in the maze-like alley for a long time before returning to the trading market.
Now that he has gained something and all his money has been used up, it is time to go back. But just when Chen Tian was about to leave, the conversation between two passers-by caught his attention:
"Go and take a look. The young disciples of the Chen family are fighting with the disciples of the Xuanyuan family."
