The middle-aged man seemed to be very enthusiastic. After bringing Ye Li and the other two into the house, he began to chat with them excitedly.
While asking about the two people's origins, he asked his wife to prepare meal.
Ye Li and Luffy could only make up some words, and Luffy was the main speaker. After all, Ye Li didn't know much about this place.
The food was soon served and placed in front of Ye Li and Luffy. They looked like home-cooked dishes, but they smelled delicious.
"Two little brothers, enjoy your meal. I have some things to do, so I won't accompany you any longer."
After the dishes came, the village chief stood up and prepared to leave.
Hearing this, Ye Li hurriedly said, "Uncle, just do your thing, we can just eat by ourselves."
The village chief nodded, then left the house with a smile on his face, looking very happy.
"Brother Kou, why do you think the village chief looks so happy? He hasn't given us the change yet. Is he planning to keep the money?"
Luffy asked as he ate.
Ye Li was stunned and said, "It shouldn't be the case. I don't think the uncle is that kind of person.
Maybe he was happy because the village cat Li was sold?"
Ye Li's speculation seemed to be more reliable. After thinking about it, Lu Fu nodded and said, "Maybe it's true.
By the way, this dish tastes really good, Brother Kou, you should eat more too."
The two of them didn't say anything more and started eating their food.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them had wolfed down all the food on the table.
At this moment, Ye Li's ears caught some unusual footsteps.
He found that there seemed to be people suddenly moving towards the house and surrounding it.
"Oh no, we fell into a trap. That guy let us stay overnight and have meals just to keep us busy.
His purpose is to inform Toka and bring people to encircle and suppress us!"
Ye Li, who noticed something was wrong, stood up anxiously and said to Luffy.
Luffy hadn't noticed the movement outside, but he naturally believed what Ye Li said, and an expression of great surprise appeared on his face.
"Damn it, Brother Kou, what should I do!"
Luffy began to feel a little scared. After all, he had little fighting ability. If he was surrounded, he would probably be killed.
Ye Li put on the mask and said, "Since I could detect the footsteps of the person coming, his strength should not be that strong. Let's go out and take a look at the situation first."
Afterwards, the two of them no longer concealed their identities and walked out of the house together.
As soon as I walked out of the big house, I saw a lot of people gathered around.
They had surrounded the house, trapping Ye Li and Lu Fu in the middle.
There were ten people in total. Ye Li observed their strength and he could see that four of them were only at the Yuantai stage, while the cultivation level of the remaining six was unknown.
Among the six people whose cultivation levels could not be seen, Ye Li felt that only two of them were at the same level as himself, and the remaining four should only be at the Virtual God Stage.
"Who are you?"
Ye Li asked casually.
The reason for speaking was just to buy time to observe the opponent and find a chance to escape.
"Hahaha, sir, I was right, right? They are indeed the people you are looking for."
The middle-aged man came out from behind a leader and said with a proud look on his face.
The leader nodded and said, "You did a good job. Here is the gold crystal as a reward for you!"
As he spoke, the leader threw a bag of gold crystals to the village chief.
The village chief happily took the gold crystal and said, "Sir, these two guys said they were out to buy and sell goods, but they don't even have a wooden cart or a shoulder pole.
Moreover, they even smeared mud on their faces, making them look like poor boys, but they were able to buy 120 kilograms of cat meat in one go. Don't you think this is strange
What's more, these guys actually paid for the goods with gold crystals, which is so uncommon in our villages, how could they not expose themselves."
The village chief spoke in a boastful manner, and in one breath he pointed out the loopholes in the two people's disguises.
Upon hearing this, Ye Li and Luffy's faces turned pale. They never expected that the outfits they thought were foolproof were actually full of flaws.
“Damn it!”
After complaining with gritted teeth, Ye Li reached out and pulled Luffy behind him.
"It looks like a battle is inevitable today!"
Ye Li spoke up.
The leader on the other side glanced at him and said, "It's not that we can't avoid a fight, but I think you can't avoid death today!!!"
Ye Li snorted coldly and said, "Whether you can kill us or not depends on whether you have the ability."
The moment both parties finished speaking, they started fighting at the same time.
Ye Li's secret body-building technique of the three attributes of thunder, gold and yang was immediately activated, and he also threw out the Liuyanyan Suanlu.
Ye Li injected one third of his spiritual energy into the Sun-Swallowing Incarnation in one breath, specifically to protect Luffy.
"Luffy, don't move. I'll protect you with the talisman."
Ye Li said to Luffy.
The reason why he dared to use only the Sun-Swallowing Avatar to protect Luffy was because the grade of the Liuyanyan Furnace had reached the upper heavenly grade, and its power had been greatly enhanced.
Ye Li used one third of his spiritual energy to activate the power of the Sun-Swallowing Avatar, and his power has almost reached the middle stage of the Concentration Stage.
After protecting Luffy, Ye Li's body was as fast as lightning. He broke through the barrier of thunder sound and rushed towards the opponent's leader.
However, what Ye Li did not expect was that after the opponent's leader threw out a beast-shaped talisman and turned into a giant white tiger, a ball of wind force gathered on his body and actually made a thunderous sound, instantly breaking through the thunder sound barrier.
When Ye Li saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that the talisman masters on this continent had extremely strong bodies, and the cultivation level and physical strength of most talisman masters were equal.
The two Spiritual Talisman Masters in front of him were both in the middle stage of the Spiritual Concentration Stage. Their physical realm was higher than Ye Li himself, so it was not uncommon for them to be able to break through the Thunder Sound Barrier.
After the leader broke through the thunder sound barrier and dodged Ye Li's pursuit, he began to release talismans from a distance, while Ye Li was stopped by another master in the Concentration Stage and the two became entangled.
The remaining eight talisman masters went to besiege Luffy.
The talisman masters who stopped Ye Li were very powerful. Because of their strong bodies, their close combat capabilities were not weaker than Ye Li's.
With the help of the secret body-building technique, Ye Li's physical strength and defense have also reached the middle stage of the Concentration Spirit Stage. He is not at a disadvantage when fighting against an opponent in the middle stage of the Concentration Spirit Stage.
However, under the siege of two people and the attack of two giant talisman beasts, he could only dodge and resist and it was difficult to launch a counterattack.
