Chapter 847 847: Secret Treasure!
Going to a deserted place suited Jiang Feng perfectly.
Avoid causing trouble in a bustling area.
However, Jiang Feng truly didn't understand how these three had the courage to come looking for him.
The elder leading the group, at a glance, was merely at the strength of a late-stage Maestro, not even a Grandmaster.
As for the two disciples, one was at early-stage Maestro, the other at middle-stage Maestro.
Is the Hundred Knowledge Hall really so petty when they make a move?
Can't they find even a decent expert?!
Yet Xiao Jinsan and the two others seemed to have Jiang Feng figured out completely, each displaying a fearless grin and sneering continuously.
"Alright, where to?" Jiang Feng asked playfully.
"Cut the crap, get in the car!"
Cang Song and Shui Yibo approached without a word, ready to grab Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng smiled, said nothing, and "obediently" followed the two back.
"Mr. Jiang, this really has nothing to do with me, I was forced to come, just their driver…"
Fang Zhao continued to smile bitterly and said to Jiang Feng.
It was obvious; he was genuinely scared, filled with fear.
Jiang Feng said nothing and directly followed Cang Song and Shui Yibo back to the car.
The two held Jiang Feng "hostage" on either side in the backseat, while Xiao Jinsan naturally took the passenger seat, and Fang Zhao continued to drive.
Soon, the group left the bustling market and reached a deserted wilderness area.
This place was originally a contracted fish pond, later abandoned, full of reed marshes and waist-high wild grass, just right for disposing of a corpse.
Though the three disciples of Xiao Jinsan still looked down on Jiang Feng, they had to admit his courage was impressive.
Knowing full well this was a trip to the Ghost Gate and yet dared to come along submissively, and even on the road, there wasn't a hint of resistance or struggle!
The car stopped outside the wild area.
"Elder Xiao, I won't go down there; I'll wait for you in the car…"
Fang Zhao said to Xiao Jinsan, trembling.
Xiao Jinsan sneered, ignored him, and was the first to get out of the car from the passenger seat.
Then, his two disciples continued escorting Jiang Feng to the depths of the reed marshes.
Xiao Jinsan stopped in front, looked back compassionately at Jiang Feng, and said: "Jiang Feng, I must say, I admire your courage. You probably think there's still a chance to escape falling into our hands today, right? Unfortunately, you're overthinking it; you will regret your rashness!"
"I'm quite curious."
Jiang Feng replied irrelevantly: "Your Hundred Knowledge Hall is said to be the organization with the strongest intelligence capabilities domestically. You should have investigated me long ago. Knowing full well that Maestros aren't my match, why did you still send the three of you? Does Gu Yuansheng have no capable people under him?"
"Audacious!!"
Shui Yibo shouted angrily: "Jiang, are you looking down on us? Daring to belittle the three of us?"
Xiao Jinsan waved his hand dismissively, eyes full of scorn: "Jiang Feng, you're correct; you do have some ability. So young and already able to defeat Maestro experts, such people are rare in the mundane world of China. But so what? Today, you will still die at the hands of the three of us, I guarantee it!"
"Oh?"
Jiang Feng was intrigued, this person's skill wasn't strong, but his boastfulness was quite impressive.
"Jiang Feng, let me tell you the truth. Though my master isn't particularly outstanding in the Hundred Knowledge Hall in terms of combat power, he possesses an extraordinary skill that even Grandmasters or Legendary experts must beware of. Conveniently, today, this skill will let you experience it!"
Cang Song sneered and said.
"No more nonsense, the Hall Master is waiting for us to report back; let's make this quick!"
As Xiao Jinsan spoke, he retrieved a black porcelain jar sealed with mud from his belongings.
This jar was no larger than a palm, yet the moment it appeared, it emanated an ancient and fierce aura.
This small jar exuded such a perilous aura; one could only imagine the extraordinary nature of its contents.
Seeing this, Cang Song and Shui Yibo could not bother with "escorting" Jiang Feng anymore and rushed quickly toward their master, fearing to be harmed by mistake.
"Jiang Feng, do you recognize this?"
Xiao Jinsan sneered, threw his cane to the ground with his other hand, and then immediately opened the tightly sealed lid.
In an instant, an even more ferocious, cold, oppressive, and ancient aura pervaded the air!
This bizarre aura, emerging suddenly, caused all the insects, birds, beasts, and fish in the surrounding reed marsh to flee in terror, silencing every creature entirely!
Jiang Feng frowned slightly; this was quite interesting.
The aura emanating from that jar was similar in style to his own Devouring Sky Demon Qi, primarily destructive, signifying endless annihilation!
Xiao Jinsan himself seemed not to have seen the jar's contents for a long time and suddenly made a strange sound with his mouth.
This sound was inaudible to humans.
In nature, various sound waves and signals filled the world.
Humans can't hear most of these signals.
Throughout history, humans have heard less than 10% of the sounds used by animals.
Xiao Jinsan's so-called extraordinary ability was mastering an ancient and long-lost vocal skill—insect language!
Thus, he became a unique insect tamer of the modern era!
This sound he was making now, inaudible to humans, was completely understood by insects!
As his vocal call continued, next—
Buzz!
From the black jar, a small insect suddenly flew out!
This insect wasn't big, looked like a little fly, but was much stranger than a fly!
It had horns on its head, no eyes, a hard shell on its back, three legs, and a pair of fluttering wings, with the most peculiar part being a mouth shaped like a crossbow.
Xiao Jinsan raised his right hand, palm open.
That insect obediently landed in his palm.
Xiao Jinsan treated it with extreme caution, appearing both respectful and fearful of the small insect.
Cang Song and Shui Yibo also stared fervently at the insect, worshiping it as if a sacred object!
Soon, under Xiao Jinsan's ancient insect language taming, the little insect seemed very docile, crawling all over his palm without any intention of harming him.
"Jiang Feng, you should feel honored to die under my 'Chai' insect today!"
Xiao Jinsan sneered continuously as he spoke to Jiang Feng: "This 'Chai' insect is one of the ten secret treasures of our Hundred Knowledge Hall, dormant for a long time, today it awakens to have you as its first prey!"
