Chapter 647: Heart dug out (Part 1)

This was……sand?

No!

Ye Yu Xi noticed that among the sand, there were a few grains of black sand.

"This should be sand and as for the black grains, it should be dyed with poison." Long Xiao Pang rubbed the black sand with his fingers and they were dyed a faint black colour.

With a flash of green light, the black colour quickly faded.

"Come, we should be there soon." Long Xiao Pang threw the sand to the ground.

This time the fatty and s.h.i.+ Qing were in front, protecting Long Xiao Pang.

Although Long Xiao Pang knew many things, he didn"t have any attack abilities. Ye Yu Xi wouldn"t place Long Xiao Pang in any danger.

After walking for less than ten minutes.

"Boss! There"s someone down there!" The fatty climbed over a sand dune and looked down.

Un?

Ye Yu Xi and the others took a few steps forward.

Under the sand dune, there were over a dozen people sprawled there.

After seeing that there was no one around, their group went down.

"This should be the mercenaries the waiter from the inn found." The fatty had sharp eyes, recognizing the clothes of these people.

The inn?

Ye Yu Xi remembered that after their group had left, they didn"t stop anywhere along the way. She never thought that this group of people actually ran ahead of them.

Looking around, she didn"t see a trace of the ash grey cloak.

"Boss, look." The fatty turned over the body of a mercenary.

On that mercenary"s face, his eyes were bulging out and his mouth was wide open, looking like he was shocked. What surprised the fatty was his death state. His entire body seemed like it had been sucked dry of any moisture, turning into a dry corpse!

"It seems like these mercenaries sent themselves to the King of h.e.l.l." Ye Yu Xi looked over them and the mercenaries had all died the same way.

"That person is in front." Bai Jin Yi suddenly said.

That person?

Ye Yu Xi looked in the direction Bai Jin Yi was pointing in.

There was a large sand dune in front.

"Come, let"s take a look." Ye Yu Xi waved her hand and everyone moved towards the sand dune.

This…..this is…..

The fatty and the others saw the scene in front of them and were shocked again.

Was this really a desert?!

Sand was yellow, but in front of everyone right now, the sand was black!

It was like it had been dyed with ink. This entire large area of sand had turned black!

In the center of the area of black, there was a person lying there……

Ash grey cloak!

Ye Yu Xi"s eyes turned cold and her mental energy instantly came out.

There was no sign of life.

"Fatty!" Ye Yu Xi shouted.

"Boss, I"m here."

"Go and look over the mercenaries from before, look at the wounds on their bodies." Ye Yu Xi"s brows slightly knit.

The fatty ran off in the opposite direction of the others.

"Don"t move." Ye Yu Xi ordered, as she moved towards the ash grey cloak.

Bai Jin Yi"s eyes slightly trembled as he followed behind Ye Yu Xi.

Ye Yu Xi used her Soul Devourer Blade to open a corner of the ash grey cloak.

Si——

"Open your mouth!" Bai Jin Yi ordered.

Without saying anything, he grabbed Ye Yu Xi"s chin and forced a pill into her mouth.

"You!" Ye Yu Xi glared at Bai Jin Yi.

"There"s poison." Bai Jin Yi softly said. There was already a golden pair of gloves around his hands.

Pulling away the ash grey cloak, that person"s true appearance was revealed to the two of them.

A person as skinny as a branch who was around fort years old had his hands on his chest.

Where his hands were, his flesh was mashed. This person, he had actually dug out his own heart.

Ye Yu Xi"s eyes turned cold! Such a ruthless method!

Before this person died, he must have been in incredible pain!

Bai Jin Yi let out a sigh, "Let"s go. There is nothing here, he killed himself."

Chapter 648: Heart dug out (Part 2)

Suicide?

Ye Yu Xi looked carefully. Not only the chest, his stomach was covered in scratch marks.

There was black water that poured out of the wounds, releasing waves of stench.

"What is going on here?" Ye Yu Xi felt this was a bit unbelievable.

There are many methods of suicide, was there a need to pull out your five visceras before dying?!

"It"s the King of h.e.l.l"s Palace"s method." Bai Jin Yi softly said, "All the people in the King of h.e.l.l"s Palace, once in a while, they have to head back to the headquarters to obtain an antidote."

"Antidote?" Ye Yu Xi was stunned, "What if there isn"t an antidote?"

"No antidote….." Bai Jin Yi looked at the corpse on the ground.

"If they don"t get the antidote, at first their bodies will itch, but drinking can help alleviate the symptoms. If they don"t get the antidote in three days, it will end like how he ended." Bai Jin Yi threw a golden flame at the corpse.

Narcotics?

Ye Yu Xi was a bit surprised. The situation Bai Jin Yi described was the same as narcotics on earth.

But this drug seemed more poisonous. When it was activated, it became fatal.

The surrounding sand is covered in the poison from his body?" Ye Yu Xi looked at the sand dune half covered in black.

"Un." Bai Jin Yi nodded, "When his powers are lost, his spiritual energy scattered."

"Boss! Boss!" The fatty quickly ran over, "Boss, I"ve finished looking over them. There are no wounds, but each person has a handprint on their chest."

"Un, I know." Ye Yu Xi waved her hand. A handprint……On Bai Jin Yi"s chest back then was also a handprint!

"Let"s go, there"s still two days travel from where we"re heading." Bai Jin Yi watched the corpse being burned to ashes.

Ye Yu Xi and the fatty turned to head where Long Xiao Pang was.

Bai Jin Yi stayed there looking over the area.

This person……

Properly speaking, when one"s poison acted up, they wouldn"t come to the desert to wait for death. Could it be that there is a King of h.e.l.l"s Palace branch in this desert?!

Other than this, Bai Jin Yi couldn"t think of another reason that could bring this person here.

Looking at the boundless desert around him, Bai Jin Yi let this thought go and followed Ye Yu Xi.

After traveling for a few days, they safely pa.s.sed through the desert.

Ye Yu Xi"s group finally came to a mountain area.

This was one of their destinations, Scott Town.

"I never thought that such a place could be this prosperous." The fatty looked at the shops around him.

"This place is near the desert and the High Ocean Mountains. Mountains would normally have spirit beasts and spirit beasts would attract mercenaries. As more people come and more people die, slowly there would be more people coming to earn money." Long Xiao Pang said.

"This place, if I didn"t remember wrong, it shouldn"t have laws, right?" Bai Jin Yi suddenly said.

"No laws?" Ye Yu Xi looked at the luxurious streets, "You mean that this place doesn"t belong to any country?"

"I"ve heard that Scott Town is the same as our Black Wind Town, but our Black Wind Town is famous for our ores and weapons, while Scott Town is famous for their gambling." Hei Feng Tian Zong said.

"Gambling?"

"Un." Hei Feng Tian Zong revealed a sly smile, "This place doesn"t bet money, rather they bet lives!"

Other than Bai Jin Yi, everyone else looked up.

Betting lives!

"It"s not live every gamble involves lives, there are still other gambles. But the ones that have more money attached to them, the people partic.i.p.ating will try harder, so there is no difference from betting one"s life." Hei Feng Tian Zong added.

"Ningyuan City should have a branch from Scott Town, which seems to be called the arena." Bai Jin Yi said in a low voice.

Arena?

The arena had a mysterious background, but they never thought the headquarters would be here!

"Alright, let"s find a place to eat. We"ll discuss what we"ll do next." Long Xiao Pang led the group to a restaurant.

A bunch of adults was following a little kid, this scene was a bit funny.
