Chen Feng’s heart raced as he grew nervous.
This old man was indeed extraordinary. He could instantly tell that they were poisoned.
“Sir, we did sail into Gaotian Plains from outside. We inhaled a lot of white fog along the way. I hope you can teach us a way to cure the poison.”
“No, it’s not the white fog.”
“It’s not the white fog?”
Chen Feng was stunned.
He had always thought that the poison was hidden in the fog. That was the reason why they only had thirty hours left.
“It’s not the white fog.” The old man shook his head. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and placed it in his mouth.
“There is no poison in the white fog. You guys have been…cursed.”
“Cursed?”
The old man could clearly see that all the Awakened Ones had their eyes wide open through the white smoke coming out of his pipe. After all, what the old man had said concerned their life and death. Everyone listened with bated breath.
“That’s right, you’ve been cursed.” The old man nodded.
“Then, senior… may I ask, is there any way to remove the curse on us?” Chen Feng asked what everyone was thinking.
“Of course.” The old man smiled.
However, for some reason, when Chen Feng saw this smile, he felt like…he was looking at a sly businessman?
“I can lift your curse, but…”
“But what?” The man who could only live for twenty hours rushed forward. His body was shaking from excitement.
In another twenty hours, he would die here.
How could he not be anxious?
“However, you have to exchange the [Barrow’s Soul] with me. Five [Barrow’s Souls] can be used to remove the curse. Five [Barrow’s Souls] can be exchanged for the nerves of the Demon Dragon. One [Barrow’s Soul] can exchange for a Sword Manual Scroll. Ten [Barrow’s Souls] can be exchanged for the condensation of divine energy…”
The old man rambled on for a long time.
In the end, he got worried that they would not remember what he said, so he pulled out a small rack from the tree behind him. It was filled with various items, and the prices were all marked there.
“The nerves of the Demon Dragon really do exist!”
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)Chen Feng immediately caught sight of it on the second layer of the rack. A nerve tissue the size of an arm sparkled with a crystalline glow.
This was the precious material that he had used to make the bow for Chen Yu. He did not expect to see it here.
“Barrow’s Soul? What’s the Barrow’s Soul?”
The thin man asked excitedly as he finally saw hope.
“If you follow this trail, you will encounter soul beasts in the forest. After killing them, you will be able to obtain Barrow’s Soul. After collecting enough Barrow’s Souls, you can come to me to exchange them for what you want.
“It’s a pity that I’m already so old. Otherwise, I would be able to deal with those soul beasts myself. I wouldn’t need to trouble you.”
After saying that, the old man sighed and helplessly tapped his own neck with his fist.
He seemed to hate himself for not being able to move at his age.
“Are you really not lying to me?” The thin man straightened his body as his eyes sparkled.
“Why would I lie to you?”
The old man blew on his beard and picked up a tube of dark purple medicine from the rack beside him.
“This is called Soul Medicine. It can heal all soul wounds, including the curse on your bodies.”
The lean man’s lips curled up slightly, and sharp killing intent flashed through his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, “Then I’ll thank you in advance.”
“Attack him!”
After he shouted out, a few figures appeared behind him. They were all Awakened Ones from the same team as him.
When Chen Feng saw this, his pupils suddenly constricted. He immediately took out the Winter Green Wood Staff from his backpack and shouted, “Protect the old man!”
The thin man’s intentions were way too obvious!
Since he did not have much time left, he evidently wanted to kill the old man and take the Soul Potion from him.
Whoosh!
The thin man was an assassin. When he shouted at the others and told them to attack, an extremely sharp dagger appeared in his hand.
In a flash, he had already approached the old man.
Chen Feng cursed in his heart. The man was an assassin, and he had acted too suddenly.
Regardless of him, Pu Yunmo, Sakurai Longzi, or Blake, none of them could stop him in time.
“Crap!”
Chen Feng reckoned that this old man definitely knew many secrets about the gods here since he had lived in the Mystic Realm of Gaotian Plains for more than a thousand years. Perhaps he could answer many of his questions.
If he died so hastily at the hands of this man…it would be a shame.
…
At the same time.
There were less than thirty centimeters between the lean man and the old man.
In just 0.01 seconds, the dagger in his hand would cut through the old man’s neck. After that, would he not be able to pick out all the treasures that he wanted from the rack?
A cruel and maniacal smile appeared on his face. It was as if he was proud of his intelligence.
“This old man is definitely not as strong as we are. He said that he could not deal with the soul beasts, so he let us go against them instead. This means that he is not our match.”
“Even if this old man is not as weak as he seems, I can instantly unleash a destructive power that far exceeds my level since I’m a shadow assassin. How can an old man like him withstand it!?”
“Barrow’s Soul or whatever that is…and hunting soul beasts…Dream on. I only have twenty hours left. Who knows when I’ll be able to collect ten [Barrow’s Souls]?!”
“As long as I kill this old man, all the treasures on this rack will be mine!”
“After killing him, put all these treasures into my backpack. I can use my shadow power to blend into the shadows in the forest. Even that master named Chen Feng won’t be able to find me!”
The lean man’s expression became increasingly ferocious and crazy.
His eyes were bloodshot as they protruded outwards. He looked like a monster.
The greed in his heart had transformed into a ferocious beast that devoured him, turning him into a true demon.
Although the dagger in his hand was Blue Quality equipment, it was extremely compatible with his talent. It could blend into the shadows and launch an assassination at the fastest speed.
Something happened the moment the dagger stabbed down.
A loud sigh heaved in the air.
“Sigh~”
The old man shook his head helplessly.
“He bullied an old man like me and even tried to ambush me. Young people nowadays…”
With that, the entire world seemed to freeze. Everything froze in place, even time!
Chen Feng’s heart was in turmoil. He realized that he could no longer move.
The others did the same. The thin man froze like a statue. The dagger in his hand was less than ten centimeters away from the old man’s neck, but it could not reach him.
The scene unfolding before their eyes was just like a movie that was being played. Suddenly, someone pressed down on the stop button.
Everything was still!
“I’m sorry, but you’ve already lost the right to exchange items with me.”
The old man shook his head and said. He picked up the simple-looking pipe and took a big puff.
He was the only person who had not been frozen and could still move.
“Phew…”
White smoke slowly puffed out and condensed into a pure white smoke ring in the air that slowly drifted into the distance.
At the same time, the thin man’s eyes darted around crazily in fear.
He realized that his body was slowly turning into white smoke!
Starting with his feet, then his legs and torso, then his arms…
He was not the only one. The five members who had attacked with him earlier all felt a mysterious power descend into their bodies, and their bodies slowly turned into white smoke.
They could only watch themselves disappear from this world.
In less than ten seconds, all five of them disappeared.
There was only white smoke left, and it drifted into the distant sky along with the smoke ring that the old man had blown out.
Chen Feng’s heart raced as he grew nervous.
This old man was indeed extraordinary. He could instantly tell that they were poisoned.
“Sir, we did sail into Gaotian Plains from outside. We inhaled a lot of white fog along the way. I hope you can teach us a way to cure the poison.”
