Chapter 363 Gouache
"This is also where I'm confused!"
Lei Yu continued, "I also thought that with the advantage of the terrain, we could deal with those killers in this jungle for a few days and they would get bored and leave. After all, those Xuanqi stones are just big in size, but they don't contain too much Xuanqi, and the Xuanqi is not pure enough!"
"A Xuanqi Stone of that level, let alone a Marquis, would be more or less despised by a Xuan cultivator who has just entered the General level. I'm afraid only a Xuanzu or Xuanshi-level Xuan cultivator would treasure it..."
"But I don't know what's wrong with those killers... They kept chasing me in this jungle for more than half a month... It's as if they have a blood feud with me that cannot be reconciled!"
At the end, Lei Yu also looked depressed.
“According to what those masked green-clothed men just said, they were just being instructed… to take everything including the Mysterious Energy Stone back…”
Before Ye Fan finished speaking, Lei Yu started to mutter, "But I have nothing left on me... If I must say... it's just a medicinal herb that I accidentally found on the way to escape... But that happened after they chased me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed on Lei Yu's hand, and he took out a piece of fiery red plant from the Naxuan Ring.
"It's fire core grass!"
Before Ye Fan could respond, Liu Mengying exclaimed, "When I was a child and not feeling well, my father often used this to make chicken soup for me. It's a very good tonic!"
"Indeed!"
Ye Fan nodded, then frowned slightly, "If you only had this Fire Core Grass, then you wouldn't have been chased by a group of assassins headed by two Houjie..."
"But I don't have anything else except this thing!"
Lei Yu had a sad face, and as he spoke, the light in his hand flashed again, and a pink box and several packets of dry food appeared on the stone table in front of the three people.
"What's in that pink box?"
Liu Mengying asked curiously.
"Ahem... Miss Liu... the contents inside are a kind of watercolor commonly used by women..."
Lei Yu's dark face flushed. "When I and other prisoners were carrying the Xuanqi Stone, we passed through a swamp full of poisonous insects... Applying this gouache can temporarily keep those poisonous insects away! The gouache was obtained by the business owner. He was afraid that the prisoners carrying the Xuanqi Stone would die in the swamp and no one would carry the Xuanqi Stone for him..."
"Watercolor?"
At this time, after checking several packages of dry food, Ye Fan opened the pink box, and a faint fragrance immediately dissipated.
"The fragrance of this gouache... Big Brother... It seems to be a very valuable kind of gouache... I have seen it in many famous shops in Jiangzhou City and Qinhuai City..."
Liu Mengying's nose twitched slightly and she spoke.
"This gouache seems a little thick... It seems a little strange... But I can't put my finger on it for now..."
Ye Fan stared at the white cake-like colloid in the pink box and frowned slightly.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan and the other two turned their heads to look at the cave entrance, because while they were chatting just now, three of the six masked green-clothed bodies hanging near the cave entrance were missing.
Ye Fan stood up and walked to the cave entrance. He stuck his head out and heard a chewing sound amidst the sound of heavy rain. He looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a large snake covered with black scales. The chewing sound just now was the snake gnawing on the body of the masked man in green...
"Brother... that big snake looks like the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda we saw in Blackwater Town, but it's much bigger now!"
Liu Mengying, who followed, couldn't help but mutter when she saw the big snake.
The big snake was originally concentrating on enjoying its food, but after hearing Liu Mengying's words, it immediately turned around, and its two oval red eyes, as big as stone pillars, looked straight at the cave in the stone wall.
"Brother, it really is the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda from Blackwater Town... Look, there are two cross-cutting knife wounds near his eyes!"
Seeing this, Liu Mengying exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed...I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Ye Fan was also surprised.
"Red-eyed Iron-scaled Anaconda, an existence that even ordinary Hou-level Xuan cultivators dare not fight head-on... Such a strong sense of oppression... I have only heard of it before, but this is the first time I have seen it..."
Lei Yu looked quite nervous.
The red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda turned around, and after seeing Ye Fan, it stared at Ye Fan with its big red eyes for a long time, then tilted its head slightly, looking quite confused. Immediately, it rolled up the bodies of the remaining two masked green-clothed men with its tail, twisted its huge body, and quickly left...
Afterwards, Liu Mengying threw the three corpses at the entrance of the cave under the stone wall, and then started to cook dinner with Ye Fan and Lei Yu.
...........
After a quarter of an hour,
"Slurp! Slurp!~"
"I really... I never thought I could still eat the lean meat and egg noodles in Jiangzhou City!"
Lei Yu ate the freshly cooked noodles in big mouthfuls, his eyes a little red.
"Well, if you want to eat, just eat!"
Ye Fan, who was taking a lamb chop from the grill and handing it to Liu Mengying, continued, "We bought a lot of these noodles with bean sprouts!"
“Thank you…thank you!”
Lei Yu turned his back, his voice choked with sobs.
.........
Night falls, the rain continues.
The cave is brightly lit.
"By the way, Ye Fan, Miss Liu, what are your plans next?"
Lei Yu poked the fire and spoke.
"Oh, we plan to continue our treasure hunt. What about you?"
Ye Fan, who was swaying on the rattan chair, answered.
"I plan to leave this primeval forest first... and then go to the nearby Cuilin Pavilion, where there are people sent by Blackwater Town. I will go back to Blackwater Town with them to continue my imprisonment... If I'm lucky, I can run into the elders of Cuilin Pavilion and thank them in person for their help to the Lei family!"
"And if I carry out some more dangerous missions, I should be able to be released in a few years...if I'm still alive by then!"
At the end, there was obvious relief and expectation in Lei Yu's voice.
"Cuilin Pavilion... Is it far from here?"
Ye Fan took the call.
"It's quite a distance, not too far! But the road is hard to walk on!"
Lei Yu replied quickly.
Ye Fan turned to look at Liu Mengying, "Little Bean Sprout, although I don't have a good impression of the people in Cuilin Pavilion, we haven't seen other living people for a long time. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"it is good!"
Liu Mengying nodded quickly, "Big brother, this is a good opportunity for us to replenish our supplies!"
..........
Three days later,
at noon,
"Thunderstorm, is this the swamp you were talking about?"
Ye Fan looked at the endless black water swamp ahead and frowned slightly, because the whole swamp was filled with a pungent stench of decay, and skeletons could be seen everywhere.
