The guard was obviously startled and stammered, "Thank... Thank you, Doctor. Why... Why are you here at this time? Shouldn't you be in front..."
"How dare you!" He Xi shouted, his voice suddenly rising and his tone imitating Doctor Xie exactly, "When is it your turn to question me about what I want to do and where I want to go? Hurry up and open the door!"
"Yes! Yes!" The guard dared not delay any longer and immediately pressed the mechanism inside.
There was a clicking sound, and the iron gate slowly opened. But before the guard could see "Doctor Xie" clearly, a purple light suddenly rushed out.
There was a "puff" sound, and the guard felt a sharp pain in his neck. Without even a groan, he fell to the ground, and all hope of survival was gone.
He Xi closed the iron gate, wiped off the disguise on his face, and continued to move forward silently.
The further you go in, the more pungent and disgusting the smell of blood and decay emanating from the dungeon becomes.
After walking for about two minutes, He Xi suddenly heard a man's rude voice, "Why put such a pile of rotten meat at the intersection? It's disgusting to look at. Why don't you throw it in the corner?"
Then he heard another person laughing and said, "This is not rotten meat. It is still alive. But now it is probably more painful to live than to die!"
He Xi's figure flashed like a phantom, then hid in a corner and looked not far away.
It was obviously a real dungeon. The lights were on and there were several men in black standing on guard with weapons in hand.
There were also a few men wearing strange costumes with totems gathered in twos and threes, studying something.
From He Xi's perspective, he could only clearly see the two men who had just spoken. They looked to be no more than 30 or 40 years old, and their cultivation had reached the initial stage of Vein Condensation.
At this time, one of the short and fat men was holding a piece of fur in his short and thick hands. He flipped it up and down and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure this is the fur of a nine-tailed fox? Why does it look like an ordinary beast skin to me?"
The other tall and thin man was startled by his action, and rushed over to carefully put away the fox fur, saying unhappily: "Can you be careful? This is a genuine nine-tailed fox fur. There is no other fur as fresh and complete as this in the entire Miluo Continent."
Seeing that the short and fat man didn't take it seriously, the tall and thin man immediately sneered and said, "Look at you, you don't know the value of the nine-tailed fox fur. If the fur is used to make a magic weapon, it will be a top-level weapon for defense and creating illusions."
"If you sell it on the market, even if it's a ninth-tier magic weapon, you can get ten or eight items. Do you understand?"
"Eight or ten ninth-tier magic weapons?!" The short and fat guard was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly became fiery as he looked at the nine-tailed fox fur.
The tall and thin man carefully put the nine-tailed fox fur into the jade box and said with a chuckle, "Of course it is precisely because the nine-tailed fox fur is precious that Elder Jiang specifically ordered you and me to come down and skin this little fox!"
"You know, among all the masters in the Jiang Mansion, you and I are the best at peeling the skin off the bodies of mortals when they are tortured."
"We have made such a great contribution this time. When Elder Jiang gives out rewards based on merit, you and I will definitely be included!"
The short and fat man laughed triumphantly upon hearing this, "Of course, we can peel off the human skin intact without damaging the entire skin, let alone a little fox like this." (To be continued)
