Ye Fan's pupils widened instantly. Under his eagle eyes, he found that there was a faint green poison that could make people faint, forming a straight line towards the crow. This green poison was very strange.
Moreover, it was ejected from the rock wall not far from the quarry.
As soon as the crow smelled the poison, it immediately became dizzy. Then it strangely fell to the sky above the quarry.
When the crow was no more than thirty meters above the quarry, a transparent rope as thin as hair instantly popped out and wrapped around the crow. The crow screamed and was pulled into the woods on the rock wall.
This is probably because the quarry has not been mined for long. Therefore, the woods on the surrounding rock walls have not been chopped down.
Ye Fan wrote down the exact location and knew that there was an expert hiding in the rock wall. Moreover, he seemed to understand why this guy could live for so long.
They probably all rely on this method to catch birds or animals or something else.
After that, Ye Fan quietly sneaked into the location. The guy used his water skills and covered the surface of his body with a thin layer of green leaf-like water.
At this moment, Ye Fan looked like a big, moving animal.
It's a pity that the skill is not enough, otherwise, it can directly condense the water into green leaves, which will make it easier to become invisible.
Ye Fan stopped when he was a hundred meters away from the suspicious place, and then the inner-qi bat was forced out and went straight to that place.
There was no cave wall or anything like that found in some bushes, but after careful observation with bat's eagle eyes, he finally found some clues.
There seems to be a small gap at the edge of a bunch of miscellaneous trees. Of course, this gap is very thin. It would be difficult for ordinary people to detect it unless they have eagle eyes.
This is probably the cave wall. The bat plunged into the gap and entered.
"Huh?" At this time, a rather hoarse voice came.
"Hong Laoxie, why are you sighing?" Another voice, almost hoarse, asked.
"I said Li Wuya, didn't you feel anything just now?" Hong Laoxie asked.
"I feel it, I don't feel it." Li Wuya shook his head.
"It's strange. Could it be that I have a mental problem?" Hong Laoxie said.
"Hahaha, you can only believe it if you can't think of anything wrong in this dark place." Li Wuya laughed wildly a few times, looking a little crazy.
"It seemed like something touched our door just now. If you didn't feel it, then something is probably really wrong." Hong Laoxie said.
When Ye Fan heard this, he was shocked. He thought that maybe it was because Hong Laoxie discovered something when the bat just squeezed into the doorway. Then this person is so cool, he can actually feel it.
Therefore, this guy was even more careful. He converged the inner energy of the inner energy bat to its weakest point and sneaked in.
I found that there seemed to be a cave inside, but there was no light and it was completely dark. After walking about twenty meters, I found two figures.
The bat quickly burrowed into the wall, and its inner breath was almost weakened to the point where it was no longer necessary to calculate.
But Ye Fan's eagle eye was not about seeing, but a feeling. So, the bat scanned the bioradar waves in.
Suddenly I was quite shocked.
Two old guys with disheveled hair, whose faces were almost invisible because they were sitting on the ground in darkness.
There was something strange about the place where they sat under their buttocks. It was actually a puddle. The water was so green that it was really dirty, almost like a smelly puddle with many water hyacinths growing there.
Both of them sat in a puddle, and the water just reached their chests and almost reached their necks.
"Hmm. This crow tastes pretty good. It's enough for the two of us to last ten days without eating." One of the taller old guys said while chewing the crow raw. There was blood around his mouth, which made Ye Fan think.
vomit.
"Oh, it's a pity that we are too kind. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to eat such stinky crows." Another slightly shorter guy sighed.
"You, Hong Xie, are so kind. You're going to laugh your ass off." The shorter guy must be Li Wuya. He laughed loudly.
Moreover, while laughing, he chewed up the crow, including its skin, flesh, and feathers, in three swipes.
Ye Fan vomited immediately after seeing it, but the inner-qi bat was only made of condensed inner-qi, and nothing came out.
Moreover, there is an inexplicable stench in the cave. Even the inner-qi bats hiding in the stone walls can smell it.
"It's not you. I am in favor of eating human flesh. In this place where birds don't poop, there are few birds. There are even fewer rabbits and wild boars. When I first came here, there were more, but now there are even fewer. I won't eat them in the future.
Let's see if you can still bear it?" Hong Xie said.
"Hong Laoxie, we are human beings, so we can eat human flesh. We can even eat the skin of this crow. If we talk about cannibalism, I really can't accept it.
Anyway, decades have passed since we have been here. We probably won’t live for a few more years. Let’s just die.
Spending time here is no better than death," Li Wuya said.
"You think I like to eat human flesh, right? It's just that there are more people passing by here than animals.
Just like some time ago, there were a lot of people hitting rocks. However, if you, Li Wuya, want to say that you are a good person, I don't think so.
If you are really a kind person, why would you snatch the Penglai Water Measure from me? Moreover, you would come up with so many tricks to let you succeed.
It's good now, we are almost done together. Hahaha, I, Hong Xie, have long been ranked as one good, two odd, three evil and five evil.
He is a bit evil, but he was still plotted against by a good man like you." Hong Xie laughed wildly, making the cave wall tremble.
"Penglai water ruler? What the hell?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"Everyone has the right to own the rare treasures in the world, and it is more appropriate for the virtuous to occupy them. That thing was something you snatched from others.
It's normal for us to snatch what you have. It has nothing to do with kindness or not. Moreover, the 'Penglai Water Measure' is better in my hands than in yours.
If this allows you to obtain the relics of the 'Nine-fingered Thief', wouldn't it be a harm to all the people in the world when your level of skill is higher?
You, Hongxie, are among the first, the second, the good, and the three evil. Why are you called evil? That's because you are indeed evil.
Don't tell me that you are not evil and do things based on your preferences. When you are angry, you can kill dozens of people in your family because of a bowl of noodles.
How many innocent souls have died under your "One Mark Red"? No less than a thousand people, right?" Li Wuya said. Ye Fan almost broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, this guy can be called a murderer. He can kill a bowl of noodles.
Killed dozens of people.
"Who told them to mess with me? They all deserve to die. Have you ever seen me kill people who didn't mess with me?
Not like you so-called gentlemen, but what you do is also shameful.
You kill people as usual, but the method of killing is to kill in secret. The application of the method is not as good as that of Hong Xie.
All in all, it's even more despicable and shameless." Hong Xie snorted.
"Hong Laoxie, tell me, where is our 'Penglai Water Ruler' now?" Li Wuya changed the subject. When Ye Fan heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"God knows where. We were so beaten that day that we all rolled down. When we got down, we found that the water gauge was missing.
Well, the two of us fought almost to death, and we almost fell to death, but in the end it was all in vain.
Over the past few decades, life has been worse than death. If I hadn't still had a glimmer of hope in my heart, I would have killed myself long ago," Hong Xie said.
"Well, there were hundreds of people fighting for the water gauge in Penglai. As a result, almost all of these hundreds of people died, and only the two of us were left. And this water gauge is just a legend. We have no idea whether it is true or not.
There's no way to tell. If it's a scam, we'd be really embarrassed." Li Wuya said.
"The nine-fingered thief is called the Nine-fingered Taoist Priest. It is said that he comes from Penglai Jiu Miao Dao. His illusion skills and stealing skills are unparalleled in the world.
This person has mastered the bone shrinking skill and can shrink his bones and skin in a short period of time, turning an adult into a three-year-old baby.
Moreover, due to the changes in bone shrinkage, people can also use this to appropriately change their facial muscles, making them look like a person performing an illusion.
The most amazing thing is of course his light body kung fu. When he ran away, he was like a wisp of smoke. Even some people with higher kung fu than him couldn't catch up with him.
Of course some people were angry because he had stolen something. Later I heard that it caused public outrage. Hundreds of people who had stolen their treasures from him gathered together and headed to Jiumiao Island.
Most of these people were masters of that era. They did find Jiu Miao Island, but it was too mysterious.
The hundred people seemed to be stuck in a big quagmire. There was actually a huge python on the island, which was said to be as big as a small mountain.
Moreover, he swallowed seven or eight masters in one bite. While everyone was fighting the python, hidden weapons and darts kept coming out.
And the guy Nine Fingers was also secretly causing trouble. In the end, only about thirty of the hundred people escaped with their lives.
Some of them got the Horai water ruler when they were escaping. It is said that this water ruler was the key to open the island left by the person who built it.
Even Taoist Master Nine Fingers has been looking for this. And that man was killed by Nine Fingers after the construction was completed. It was said that that man was a descendant of the Wu clan and had certain divination abilities.
Knowing that he was bound to die, of course he saved his life. However, he left it in a mysterious place.
It is said that Jiuzhi knew that one of the more than thirty people who escaped at Penglai Yishuichi had escaped.
Later, they left the island to pursue him. However, outside the island, Nine Fingers encountered an unprecedented crisis. This angered one of the four great masters of the year and took action. That person was the descendant of King Wu.
As a result, under the siege, Jiu Zhi was seriously injured and fled back to Penglai Jiu Miao Island. From then on, Jiu Zhi was never heard of again.
As for the Penglai water ruler, it appeared several times and reappeared thousands of years later. It has been widely circulated since then, disappearing and disappearing intermittently.
Until we win and both sides suffer." Li Wuya sighed quite a bit.
Ye Fan listened with great interest.
At this moment, Hong Xie suddenly shouted: "Have you heard enough? Come out."
