Behind the fat man was a tall black mercenary with an expressionless face. He frowned and walked up to him and said, "Mr. Pease, we are here to protect you. I hope you don't treat us as babysitters."
Pease glared at the black man in front of him, not afraid at all: "I give you money so that you can do everything you can. If you don't want to do it, you can get out, but at the same time, you won't get a penny!"
The black man looked a little gloomy when he heard this, but looking at his brother who depended on him for a living, he could only swallow his anger temporarily, hoping to complete this business and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate. It was not the first time that they were scolded by the arrogant and arrogant Pease, or maybe Pease was used to scolding others. Whether it was his opponents or partners, almost everyone knew that he had a foul mouth and a rotten heart. It was also because of this that this man called Pease did not have a good relationship with people. After experiencing an economic crisis, he almost went bankrupt without any relatives, and his industry was suddenly in jeopardy. This time, hearing that the secret treasure of King Sipan was born, Pease, who was ready to take a gamble, recruited a group of mercenaries in order to get all the treasures in this treasure hunt, and then sell them for money for himself to squander.
However, although Peace is not a good person, greedy for money and beauty, he does have some knowledge. In his early years, he even took the treasure hunter exam. Unfortunately, when taking the character test, he abandoned all his companions in a desperate situation for his own benefit. Eventually, he was notified by the Treasure Hunting Union that he would never be allowed to become a treasure hunter. He then entered the business world and became a notorious profiteer.
The moment he saw the Yinshi wolfberry and thought of its coveted effects, countless money began to dangle in front of Pease, and Pease was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Looking at Peace's face, the black leader was both angry and amused. He was angry because Peace had treated him and others so rudely just now, and he was amused because in his heart Peace was like a clown.
However, although he was pleased to see Pease, an employer was still an employer after all, so the black leader could only call a few brothers to prepare to pick Yin corpse wolfberries. But when they got closer, they frowned and said, "Mr. Pease, there are no fruits that can be picked here."
"Impossible!" Pease took a few steps forward and looked at the vines. Sure enough, there was not a single fruit. This was natural, because the Yin Corpse Wolfberries at the bottom had already been picked by Long Xiangtian and Yunniang.
Pease's face suddenly darkened, and he pointed to the sky: "Go pick it up there."
The mercenaries looked at each other, and finally looked at the black leader. If the black leader had a lighter complexion, he would have turned pale by now, but he had no choice but to finally choose to bow to the money. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go get the climbing tools, and remember to be careful when you go up."
The subordinate took the order and left. After a while, he came back wearing climbing equipment. At the signal of the black leader, he began to climb up. However, after climbing a few steps, the man screamed and sat on the ground. He pointed at the wall and said tremblingly: "Human... human face!"
The black leader frowned, turned around and pushed aside the vines in front of him. When he saw the face of the mummy, he was also shocked: "Mr. Peace, what's going on!"
Although Pease had been mentally prepared, he still shuddered when he saw the terrifying face. When he heard the black leader asking him, he pretended to be confident and said, "The Yin Corpse Wolfberry can only grow when planted on a living person. When it grows up, the person will naturally die!"
When the black leader heard this, even though he had experienced countless life and death situations, his expression changed. He glanced at the mummy with a distorted face, thinking about how painful the mummy must have been when he was alive. He couldn't help but shudder and got goose bumps.
The black leader didn't want to stay here any longer. After signaling his men to continue climbing, he found a place far away from here and sat down, smoking silently.
The men had no choice but to suppress their fear and climb up again. But the place they climbed to was exactly where Long Xiangtian had climbed before, and soon the group of mercenaries started shouting again.
"Boss, there's a bronze coffin here!"
The black boss was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Instead, Pease got back to the vines and shouted, "What did you say!"
"Coffin, there is a coffin here!"
In the dark, Long Xiangtian clearly saw that Pease's face became uncertain after hearing this, and then he heard Pease say: "Don't worry about that for now, pick as many wolfberries as you can!"
Long Xiangtian frowned. There was something wrong with what Pease said. What did he mean by "build as many as possible"? Why did it sound so urgent... Long Xiangtian felt a little uneasy, but due to his current location, he couldn't see clearly what the mercenaries were doing.
After a while, Pease returned to the vines and shouted, "How many have you picked?"
The answer came: "About two or three hundred grams."
"Throw it down, let me see the quality." Pease spoke with obvious impatience, which made Long Xiangtian feel strange, but these mercenaries were already used to Pease's eccentric personality, so they threw the sealed bag to the ground without saying anything. Pease picked it up, and finally showed a look of joy on his face, but Long Xiangtian found that while he showed joy, he also showed a look of struggle. Then Pease's behavior made Long Xiangtian even more suspicious.
Because after picking up the Yinshi wolfberry, Pis did not return to where the mercenaries gathered, but instead circled around the venue. Long Xiangtian discovered that he was actually moving towards the cave entrance little by little.
He wants to run away! Long Xiangtian immediately realized what Pease wanted to do. But why
Long Xiangtian suddenly shuddered, thinking of the obviously abnormal expression on Peace's face when the mercenaries mentioned the coffin just now.
Could it be... Long Xiangtian thought back to the Blood Spirit King that Yunniang mentioned, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He turned to look at Yunniang and found that Yunniang's face was also beginning to turn pale.
Long Xiangtian made up his mind and wanted to rush out with Yunniang. Although he didn't know if he could withstand the bullets now, compared to facing the Blood Spirit King, Long Xiangtian felt that being shot was safer.
But before Long Xiangtian could rush out, his heart trembled violently. It was a tremor from the depths of his soul, and a powerful pressure enveloped the entire space, and the direction from which the pressure came was exactly the coffin.
Yunniang groaned and murmured, "We were wrong. We were all wrong."
"What?" Long Xiangtian didn't understand Yunniang at all.
Yunniang smiled bitterly: "Our previous understanding and guess were all wrong. This Yinshi wolfberry is not used to cure diseases and save lives. It is used to suppress the coffin."
Long Xiangtian's mind raced, and he instantly understood everything Yunniang said.
