Chapter 117 Robbery
"Two fairies, look at this compass."
The fat man held the compass in his hands and said, "It is flat and round, like a thick cake. The whole body is translucent. I don't know what it is made of. There is a small bright red particle as big as a soybean in the center of the compass. This compass relies on this small red particle to identify the direction. If the direction of the treasure is within ten miles in the east, the red particle in the middle of the compass will grow a thin silk towards the east, like bean sprouts. If the treasure is in the west, the red particles will grow a filament towards the west, and the other directions are the same, including up, down, left and right.
"Well, it's really interesting. Keep talking!" Xu Han was very interested and hurriedly urged.
"We only need to follow the direction of the red silk to find the specific location of the heavy treasure within ten miles. The red silk will shrink with the shortening of the distance between the compass and the treasure. Until the compass is within a foot of the treasure, the red silk will completely retract into the red particles.
Speaking of this, the fat man looked embarrassed: "Now, the red silk has completely retracted into the red particles. This means that the heavy treasure is within a foot of the compass, and you are in front of the compass, so... the heavy treasure is on you!"
Xu Han and Ye Menglan looked at each other, and their eyes were full of shock.
The elixir in the eight jade bottles of the magic doctor Bian Que, Yangzhou tripod, wooden puppet, Changming lamp, the Heavenly Ring and many magic weapons collected in the Heavenly Ring, etc. It can be said that Xu Han is an endless treasure, and there are as many heavy treasures!
"Two fairies, ordinary treasures cannot cause this compass to change. Anything that causes the change of this compass is a shocking treasure. Since Chongbao has been received by the two, let's go back first if it's okay. The fat man said cautiously.
"So, with this compass in your hand, haven't you collected a lot of treasures?" Xu Han sneered maliciously and gently pressed down the wandering soul sword intentionally or unintentionally.
"No, no... You misunderstood this fairy. We only got this compass from an ancient tomb three months ago. We only found another ancient tomb with this compass and got three treasures. However, we were targeted on the way to the Black Rock City auction house with these three treasures. Chongbao was robbed. If it hadn't been for the sudden passage at that time, several of us would have lost our lives. Therefore, we are trying to continue to find a treasure with this compass, hoping to find a peerless weapon to deal with those who have bad intentions. Just now, we saw the violent vibration of the compass. We thought it was a peerless weapon unearthed, so we rushed over, but we didn't know..."
Xu Han grabbed the compass, rudely collected it into the Heavenly Ring, and then took away the wandering soul sword and said proudly, "A compass, in exchange for the lives of several of you, you have earned this business. Let's go and roll as far as I regret it!"
"This..." The four people heard the words, and their faces were as if they had just died.
As tomb robbers, of course, they know that this compass is more precious than any treasure, because it can be used to find other treasures, while other treasures do not have this function! It can be said that with this compass, you have infinite wealth. Now Xu Han wants to take away the compass, which is tantamount to taking away their huge wealth, which makes them unacceptable for a while.
"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Xu Han stared and shouted coldly.
"This fairy, the compass is our**. We knelt down and begged you to return the compass to us. We have done your request one by one, and I have said what I have to say one by one. You are a fairy and you have to keep your word. Just let us go!" The fat man immediately knelt down, kowtowed several times to Xu Han fiercely, and said with a sad face. The others also knelt down and kowtowed like garlic.
"Well, there's a lot of nonsense. Isn't this just to let you go? If you hadn't told me honestly, the four of you had already become four headless corpses, how could you talk to me here? Could it be... Are you going to force me to kill my mouth?" Xu said coldly, his tone was grink and murderous.
"Okay, let's go, let's go!" Hearing Xu Han's bad tone, the fat man showed a strong murderous spirit in his eyes. He looked at the half-year-old tongue that was gradually drying up again. He trembled tremblingly to the side of the ship, jumped into the water, and then swam to the shore like a frightened fish.
The sharp-chin covered his bloody mouth, his face was ashes, hummed a few times, and jumped down in pain. The big-eyed man did not dare to hesitate and jumped down.
The residents by the river can swim, not to mention these tomb robbers, so Xu Han is not worried that they will drown. Of course, he was not afraid of these people's excellent self-esteem. They dived under the awning boat to chisel the boat. Their every move was shrouded in Xu Han's consciousness. As long as they saw any abnormal movements, they would immediately die at the bottom of the water. As long as they are not stupid, they will never dare to mess around.
The strong young man in charge of swinging saw that the situation was not good and was about to jump into the water, but suddenly felt that his neck was cold. He was so scared that he was stiff and dared not move. When he looked down, he saw that the dark and shiny dagger that had been on the fat man's neck was lying on his neck. Looking at that, it seems that he is about to lead his neck to choke himself.
"Who let you go?" Xu Han quietly appeared behind the man, and the wandering soul sword lay in front of his neck and said coldly, "We are short of a boatman. If you don't want to die, row quickly. We have to go back to Black Rock City."
It's good to have a free boatman. Xu Han and Ye Menglan simply entered the cabin, sat face to face in front of the tea table, made a pot of tea by themselves, and then drank hot tea leisurely. While looking through the windows on both sides of the cabin, they looked at the picturesque scenery on both sides and chatting.
They naturally talked about some precautions for this trip. Ye Menglan talked about the basic situation of her family, as well as the construction structure and personnel structure in the city owner's mansion, and even slightly mentioned the basic composition of the garrison stationed in the valley outside the north gate of Black Rock City, as well as the distribution of some underground forces in Black Rock City, and clouds The structure of Xiazong and so on.
Xu Han listened quietly and wrote down these general things as much as possible. Although he spent a little money to get a lot of important information from Xiaoqi, a clerk of Fulai Inn, Xiaoqi is at best just a clerk of a small inn, and Ye Menglan is the daughter of the owner of the Black Rock City and a core disciple of Yunxia Sect. These two identities are resounding and can involve secrets that ordinary people can't involve. Naturally, the second child of an inn can't compare with her?
The speed of the ship was not fast, and Xu Han and others were not in a hurry to let the strong young man slowly row down the stream.
While chatting, Xu Han suddenly felt that the black canopy boat slowly stopped. He was slightly surprised and was about to ask, but he heard the strong young man politely say, "Two fairies, you can't pass in front of you."
Xu Han and Ye Menglan looked at each other and walked out of the cabin.
Seeing the two people walk out of the cabin, the strong young man quickly explained, "Two fairies, there is a blackwood cliff in front of them. It is only 20 miles from the blackwood cliff to the black rock city. That section of the water is a forbidden area. No ship is allowed to approach the canyon. We can only stop here. Excuse me, are you two going to the left bank or the right bank?
"Did you arrive at the Blackwood Cliff so soon?" Ye Menglan looked at a black cliff towering into the clouds in the distance, with a wanderer-like look on her face and muttered, "Why does it feel like centuries after leaving the Black Rock City for a few days? In the past, every time I left, it was less than ten days and eight days, and more than a year and a half. I didn't feel this way. It's really strange!"
After sighing, she brushed her sleeves and said, "Those sailors don't know Miss Ben. They really can't move forward any more. If they go there, they will pierce their hearts and die. OK, young man, let's go to the right bank!"
There is a bustling town on the right bank called Blackwood Town.
The two landed, sent the "boatman" away, and then Shiran walked into Heimu Town.
Both of them are peerless. Along the way, they naturally attract countless gorgeous eyes. However, Ye Menglan didn't care at all. She seemed to be often humiliated by this kind of gaze, and she was not surprised. On the contrary, Xu Han, as a man, became a magnificent young woman at this time and had to be baptized by these obscene eyes.
It made him uncomfortable and wanted to kill people.
