Imperial Treasure

Chapter 573 - 370 The Swindler

"That, next time I don’t want to run... It was obviously safe... Damn it, it’s all because of you, Xue the Skillful Hand, why the hell did you drag me to run!" The fatty swallowed his saliva and muttered.

I can’t believe I actually ran without hugging onto that thigh!

My guts are green with regret..

Xue the Skillful Hand: "..."

This fatty was born without a face, right? So shameless.

In the awkward silence, the fatty quickly changed the subject: "Hey, look, so that’s what a Corpse Charm looks like, kinda looks like a mix between a snake, a lizard, and a fox... and it even sucks blood... My arm is all swollen..."

The fatty lifted his arm.

Others had bite marks too, each with their own wounds, Mount Mover glanced at him and suddenly sneered, "Hybrid? To tell you the truth, so-called Corpse Charms are created when before a person is buried, they ingest python eggs and fox fur. In the midst of unbearable pain, the person is bound and forcibly enclosed in a coffin, effectively a living burial... The python eggs incubate inside the human belly, absorbing the nutrients from the flesh and blood, and after the person dies, they feed on the corpse. Filled with Corpse Qi and enticed by the fox fur, after a long time they evolve into what you see... Corpse Charms, incredibly toxic creatures, each mature specimen has at least a century of history. Its Corpse Poison could turn us into the dead in a short time..."

He rose slowly, his expression quite pale: "Don’t you feel an itchiness in your body? That’s a sign of the poison setting in, soon, you’ll want to peel off your skin... just like a snake molting... leaving behind the freshest flesh and blood..."

Damn!

Truth be told, regardless of authenticity, everyone was scared by his words, especially the fatty and Third Lady Yin, who turned pale.

"So... we’re doomed?"

Wei Feng looked at the old man and suddenly laughed: "Sui Yi, I thought the team you brought was useless, but it seems that’s not entirely true, this old senior is quite powerful... So, can you tell us how to cure this Corpse Charm poison?"

Mount Mover was nonchalant: "What’s in it for me?"

"You’re poisoned too, so you have to cure it as well, right?" Nalan smiled.

We’re all here, afraid we don’t know how to cure it?

"Young man, you’re too hasty... not as calm as Miss Sui..." Mount Mover shook his head and pointed at the Corpse Charm corpse on the ground: "I can tell you that an inch of snake tendon from this Corpse Charm is the antidote. I can take that inch to cure our people, but you might not know which inch it is, and even if you do, you may not be able to accurately extract it. A fraction too much, the poison intensifies, a fraction too less, still not enough to cure... You can try..."

Shit!

What a sly fox!

Wei Feng smiled: "Then what do you want? To let us not trouble your team?"

From a perspective of combat strength and numbers, Sui Yi’s team had already lost two-thirds.

At those words, Mount Mover scoffed: "With Sui Yi here, do you dare to make a move?"

That’s like saying my boss is the Jade Emperor, you dare to mess around?

That’s a lot of confidence.

Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu felt somewhat embarrassed; in reality, their condition wasn’t good.

Especially Sui Yi.

Wei Feng and the others glanced at Sui Yi... they didn’t miss her pale complexion...

After a moment, Wei Feng revealed a smile.

"The senior is joking, I like her too much to hurt her..."

That sounded so fake.

"So, what exactly do you want?"

"Tell me what you’re really running from, and also, how you got in here... Don’t try to fool me with the Corpse Charms... These Corpse Charms are still young, not enough to pose a lethal threat to you..."

Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu watched as Mount Mover single-handedly held off the group, of course, the premise of his control was the threat of Sui Yi’s martial prowess.

Wei Feng seemed to have no difficulty at all and said: "That question is not at all hard to answer... We came down through a thief hole at the main entrance of the Ancient Tomb... But maybe breaking the main entrance upset the tomb owner, we encountered a bunch of wrapped corpses at the start, followed by Corpse Charms... and then..."

He gave a slight smile: "We met a man."

"That man was terrifying..."

As he laughed, he suddenly looked at Sui Yi: "He gave me the impression, just like you do, young, powerful, cool, indifferent, all-knowing..."

That description...

The fatty chimed in: "So you like him too?"

Pff!

The mood suddenly twisted...

The person in question, Sui Yi, looked down, pressing on the wound on her wrist, and sighed softly.

Third Lady Yin held her forehead.

Nalan was the first to laugh, unable to hide his amusement.

Wei Feng: "..."

Why does your team always have these oddballs who follow Gong Jiu’s ludicrous snake demon antics!!
