Chapter 41 Sneak Attack
Lin Yan turned a deaf ear and quickly got out of the poisonous mist, pretending to be weak and coughing non-stop.
There was a lot of noise at the door, and in the chaos, those who fled out quickly left the place of trouble without looking back.
Lin Yan escaped quickly, found an uninhabited corner, quickly changed into his original clothes, and then pretended to be frivolous and walked to the door of Jiaer Cave, patting Zhang San who hadn't run away yet.
Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, are you okay?"
Lin Yan nodded: "Let's go!"
The two of them walked out quickly until they were completely far away. Lin Yan just said: "It's too chaotic here. I have to leave. What about you?"
Zhang San hesitated: "I also want to buy something."
Lin Yan nodded: "Let's say goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and separated from Zhang San, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He found a hiding place again, put on the third white wooden mask, and then found a drink cave and waited patiently.
Soon, the news about Poison Master Gan Yang defrauding the Yierdong Spirit Crystal spread throughout the ghost market, and even people in the Yinzi Shop were discussing it.
About two quarters of an hour later, outside the cave shop, the man in the black and white mask walked past with a solemn atmosphere and a group of people.
"Didn't Gangjing take action and capture Poison Master Gan Yang?"
After waiting for a while, Lin Yan put down the drink in his hand and walked slowly towards the exit.
After paying the exit tax, we came to the beach outside the exit.
The ghost market is built along the river, and bamboo rafts are used to enter and exit. At this time, there were three bamboo rafts lined up on the beach, each guarding a boatman and two others waiting.
The two people were talking. When Lin Yan came over, they didn't shy away and continued talking.
"The one with the black and white mask is Hong Dingshan of the Hong family, right?"
"It seems that Gan Yang was not caught and let him run away."
"The Hong family is well-known in the inner city, and now they are being tricked by a poison master in the power realm. Tsk, tsk, they are so embarrassed."
"You can't say that. After all, Gan Yang is also a guest of the city lord's palace. I heard that the city lord still values him very much."
"The more this happens, the less likely the Hong family will let Gan Yang go, and the city lord will not let him go either. I don't know what Gan Yang is thinking about being so stubborn."
"Who knows."
After waiting for a while, three more people came, and when there were six people together, a boatman stood up and pushed the bamboo raft into the water.
Six people boarded the bamboo raft.
The exit section is very gentle, and the bamboo raft can float down the river even without much maneuvering.
Lin Yan was sitting upright, quietly recuperating.
Suddenly, the tip of my nose smelled a greasy sweet fragrance.
The next moment, he felt a surge of energy and blood.
"Huh? It's poisonous!"
Lin Yan's heart rang with alarm and his whole body tensed up. Could it be that Poison Master Gan Yang was on this bamboo raft!
At a glance, the boatman was shaking the oar every now and then, and the other five people were also doing their own thing.
Looking carefully again, I immediately noticed that the boatman's fingers were shaking regularly while he was shaking the oars, and some very fine powder was falling out from his fingertips.
The underground light source is inherently dim, and if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.
"So, Poison Master Gan Yang didn't run away at all! He killed a boatman, took on the boatman's identity, and played a trick of darkness to escape the Hong family's pursuit!"
Lin Yan understood instantly, quietly reached into his waist, held the sharp awl stuck in his waist, and touched the head of the awl. Well, it was sharpened.
Another moment passed.
"What are you doing?"
"I wasn't shaking, you were shaking."
"I, I feel so dizzy..."
"Not good! It's poisonous!"
"grass!"
Several people reacted immediately and tried to stand up, but found that their bodies were so weak that they couldn't use any strength at all, and they all staggered and fell down.
Lin Yan took advantage of the situation and cursed a few words together, then fell sideways, pretending to be unconscious in the easiest posture to exert force.
The boatman was Gan Yang. He paddled slowly, but his body posture was obviously much more relaxed, and he even hummed a tune lightly, feeling comfortable.
After the bamboo raft had been docked, Gan Yang put down the pole, took off his mask and threw it aside, shook his head, then took out the black wooden box from his waist and took out the spiritual crystal, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Spirit crystal... It is said that you can increase people's qualifications and help people break through the realm. I don't know if it is true or not? Hahahahaha!"
After laughing like a maniac for a while, Gan Yang put away the spiritual crystal, turned around and glanced at the six unconscious people on the boat, with a flash of pity on his face: "We happen to be short of a few pairs of livers for preparation, so don't waste it..."
With a flick of his wrist, he took out the dagger, then stepped forward, pierced a person's chest with the knife and gutted him, then reached in and fished it out.
Behind him, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, right now!
Qi and blood exploded instantly, and the sharp iron cone suddenly came out of his waist, turning into a poisonous dragon and piercing Ganyang's lower back!
Just like piercing into a sack, after a slight feeling of obstruction, the sharp iron tip penetrated Ganyang's waist without any hindrance until it was completely submerged.
"Ahhh!"
Gan Yang screamed, reacted extremely quickly, and swung the dagger back.
But Lin Yan had already taken a step back, dodged the dagger, and kicked out fiercely, hitting Gan Yang's abdomen, just above the sharp cone wound on Gan Yang's abdomen.
Gan Yang immediately flew to the shore, blood spurting from his waist. After falling to the ground, it quickly spread into a large blood stain.
Lin Yan cautiously jumped onto the shore and approached Gan Yang cautiously step by step.
Gan Yang reluctantly got up, covered his abdomen, and screamed: "Who are you!!"
Can you still move like this?
The warrior's vitality is indeed astonishing.
Lin Yan didn't answer. He raised his strength from his waist and punched Gan Yang in the chest.
Gan Yang tried his best to wave the dagger to stop him, but the injury to his abdomen was too severe. The dagger weakened halfway through the swing. Lin Yan opened his fist, pressed down on Gan Yang's arm, raised his foot, and kicked the wound in his abdomen again!
Gan Yang's face suddenly turned pale and he staggered. He couldn't hold himself up any longer and fell backwards.
"Despicable, despicable!"
He tried hard to hold himself up, but the pull on his abdomen made him almost lose strength, and his face turned as white as a corpse.
Lin Yan took advantage of the situation to get closer, raised his foot, and suddenly stepped on the sharp wound on Gan Yang's abdomen again.
It was like stepping on a balloon, blood splattering everywhere for free.
Gan Yang's entire face suddenly turned from white to the color of pig's liver, completely distorted and in great pain. Then his whole body collapsed and he could no longer move.
"You, don't be proud..."
Gan Yang, who was extremely weak, was in pain, but with a bit of madness: "You, you have been poisoned by me, you are dead. Unexpectedly, I, the poison master Gan Yang, died with an unknown person like you, haha, Ha ha……"
Lin Yan was speechless for a moment and looked at him with a little pity.
When the dagger was swung just now, there was indeed a large amount of poisonous powder on the surface. The smell was lighter and the toxicity was stronger...
Of course, the effect of restoring qi and blood is also better, which replenishes the qi and blood he just consumed.
Gan Yangqiang opened his eyes, wanting to see the symptoms of Lin Yan's tragic death from poisoning, but he waited until he was unconscious, and Lin Yan still showed no reaction.
When he was dying, his eyes widened with despair and rage: "You, why don't you die!"
This sentence drained the last bit of his strength, and in the end he refused to rest in peace with endless unwillingness.
After confirming that he was dead, Lin Yan quickly stepped forward, first kicked Gan Yang's frightened and unwilling face to the other side, and then carefully searched Gan Yang's body.
He put the found things in a black cloth bag, carried Gan Yang's body, came to the Netherworld River, and threw it directly into the river.
The Netherworld River has no source and no end, and the ghost market is just a section of the river. Lin Yan kept looking at Gan Yang's body, following the blue halo, gradually disappearing into the depths of the ground, and then turned around to check what was on the bamboo raft. Five people.
"They're all dead, so that's offending..."
Zhang San told him that the cave at the exit of the ghost market had no branch road and led directly to an abandoned temple in Qifengfang, so there was no one to guide him.
Lin Yan quickly searched these five people up and down, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he lit candles and left along the cave.
…
Inner city, Chengshoufang, Hongjia.
The black and white mask on Hong Dingshan's face had been taken off, revealing a face that was in his mid-twenties, with pale cheeks and uncontrollable annoyance between his brows.
Opposite him, Hong Ye, one of the current pillars of the Hong family and his father, took a sip of tea with an expressionless expression.
"So, not only is the spiritual crystal gone, but the poisonous stone is also lost?"
Hong Dingshan stiffened slightly and bowed his head, not daring to answer.
"waste!"
Hong Ye threw the teacup in his hand and smashed it into pieces on Hong Dingshan's forehead. The tea soup poured all over Hong Dingshan's face.
"You can't handle such a small thing, and you have someone pretend to be a boatman and escape under your nose? Think about your elder brother, and then look at you! Why did I give birth to such a waste like you!"
Hong Dingshan trembled.
After a long time, Hong Ye's breathing calmed down.
"Are you sure that the poison stone was taken out directly with bare hands?"
Hong Dingshan carefully replied: "The clerk saw it. A man wearing a cat-face mask and a blue robe stretched out his hand and took away the poisonous stone from the poison."
Hong Ye knocked on the table: "It seems that this person is the one who really developed the antidote to this mysterious poison barrier. It is very likely that he originally planned to come to accept the reward, but was interrupted by Gan Yang... Gan Yang, Gan Yang , you simply deserve death!"
Hong Dingshan gritted his teeth and said: "We later found out that there were a total of five people in the Ganyang boat. One was stabbed to death, and the remaining four were all poisoned to death at the exit of the underground river. The Ganyang people have disappeared."
"Five?" Hong Ye keenly sensed something was wrong, "There were six people in the boat, why did only five die?"
Hong Dingshan hesitated slightly: "Perhaps Gan Yang was impatient and only waited for five people before setting off?"
"I can't wait, I can go straight away. He is a madman and completely confident!"
Hong Dingshan was speechless.
Hong Ye shook his head in disappointment: "Let's investigate later. Two things now. First, search the whole city for Poison Master Gan Yang. Ling Jing is a small matter, but face is a big matter! How dare you let my Hong family suffer such a big loss? He must die!"
Hong Dingshan murmured: "But Gan Yang, isn't he a guest of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Trash! Your dearest guest, there are so many city lords in the palace. What's more, the battle of Dingwai is just around the corner, and our city lord himself will not be able to protect himself."
Hong Dingshan lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"Then the second thing is to find the person who detoxified him! I don't care if you threaten him, lure him, or search all over the place by yourself, you must find him for me!
"This person will be our key to going deep into the Guangchuan Mountains!"
