Chapter 96 - Revealing The Truth
Far away from Martial City, entering a certain area not far from the Yang Family courtyard, in a newly dug pit connected to a hole under the ground.
A small figure that seemed a bit bigger than a kitten with a shiny body could be seen hugging an orange spherical object the size of an adult\'s fist, his tongue appeared from time to time and licked the big bead with gusto.
That small figure was of course Xiao Laoxu.
The orange bead seemed to be hard, but it was actually very easy to bite. However, from the look of Xiao Laoxu, he seemed very reluctant to bite the delicious-looking bead.
"No no, I have to keep this thing for my Master, I can\'t eat it," then his eyes moved away from the orange bead in his hand and rested on a big pile of treasures in the pit near him.
"If I bring everything back, Master will praise me for sure. But I worked so hard, I can\'t just give them to him without bargaining," Xiao Laoxu\'s eyes revealed determination, and he declared, "Master must not let me do those exercises anymore, if not, if not… then I\'ll just keep these treasures to myself!"
After lingering here for a little while more, Xiao Laoxu decided to take the orange bead with him.
Xiao Laoxu was currently a 1st Tier Soldier monster, with this level of strength, in fact, he was not much weaker than a 1st Tier Warrior martial artist at all. Hence, it would not be a problem for him to carry an object that weighed hundreds of kilograms at all.
Xiao Laoxu swiftly left and made his way towards the Yang Family courtyard, or the secret underground room to be more specific.
It was not known how long it took, but when Xiao Laoxu popped his head out of the hole, the first thing he spotted in the secret room was his master.
"Squeak! Master!" Xiao Laoxu made a squeaky sound and hurriedly ran over to Yang Song, who had his eyes closed and was holding a strange flower.
When Xiao Laoxu saw that strange flower, his eyes immediately lit up brighter than ever. Then, looking at the orange bead in his hand, he felt that this orange bead was a piece of trash compared to that flower.
Yang Song heard the sound and opened his eyes, then he saw Xiao Laoxu. "So you still know to come back home, huh?"
But when Yang Song saw the orange bead the size of his fist in Xiao Laoxu\'s hand, he was attracted by it instantly. "What is that thing in your hand?"
"Squeak, treasure, I mean trash, found in a far off place," Xiao Laoxu answered, but his eyes still glued on the flower in Yang Song\'s hand.
"Let me see," Yang Song said. Then Xiao Laoxu handed the orange bead over.
Yang Song immediately took the orange bead and looked at it carefully. After a little thought, he immediately knew what it was.
This thing was actually an Abyssal Salmon Egg. As the name suggested, it was an egg of an abyssal fish. That monster fish was actually not really a salmon, even its appearance was not identical to that of a salmon.
However, its roe was very similar to the normal salmon roe, it was just that the roe of this abyssal fish was composed of very few eggs, and each egg was very big. The biggest one that ever Yang Song had ever seen was two times bigger than the one in front of him.
And this monster fish egg was very expensive, Yang Song estimated that the one before him could be sold for at least 500,000 C dollars.
This Abyssal Salmon Egg was, on the one hand, a rare delicacy that contained a lot of rich energy. It could be eaten raw directly. On the other hand, it was a good raw medicinal material for refining pills. Therefore, Yang Song decided to keep it for refining pills instead.
But hearing Xiao Laoxu said that it was a trash earlier, Yang Song had the urge to laugh a little.
"Where did you find this thing?" Yang Song felt that this kind of treasure couldn\'t be found randomly at all.
Hearing this sensitive question, Xiao Laoxu immediately came back to his senses. Then, he hesitated for a while before deciding to tell the truth, "I… I found it in my underling\'s boss\'s place."
A question mark appeared above Yang Song\'s head. What did he mean by his underling\'s boss? Shouldn\'t the boss of his underling be himself? Could it be there were two bosses?
Yang Song felt confused for a while. Then, he continued, "Who is your underling?"
"Squeak, he\'s called Luo Xiang."
"Luo Xiang? Is he a mouse too?"
"No, he is a human."
"…"
Yang Song felt weird and did not know what to say for a while. This little guy could actually find a human and subdue the other party and the other party became his underling? This was… too incredible, right?
"How did you know him?" Still feeling puzzled and weird, Yang Song couldn\'t help but ask.
"Squeak, Master, you should know him too. He is the guy who tried to rob me when we first met," Xiao Laoxu revealed the information.
"Huh?"
Yang Song stayed silent for a while. Then soon, he thought of when he first saw Xiao Laoxu and was about to buy Xiao Laoxu, a robber stole Xiao Laoxu and wanted to run away. But he was tripped by his foot, and Yang Song became popular because of that.
It actually turned out to be that thief? But didn\'t Xiao Laoxu resent that guy? How the hell did the robber who tried to rob him become his minion now?
"So it\'s like that," Yang Song nodded. But he still felt ridiculous, "Then how did he become your lackey?"
"Squeak, I-I don\'t know, he just became submissive as soon as we met. I also provide him with Great Energy Pill. Squeak, he also told me about his former boss\' treasure house."
"Oh, then there are more treasures, right?" Yang Song\'s eyes lit up.
"Squeak, yes!"
"Good, then go bring them over now."
Xiao Laoxu immediately turned around and ran to the hole. But as he was about to jump into the hole, he suddenly froze.
Wait, he had not talked about the condition for bringing all the treasures over yet.
Then he ran back to Yang Song who was about to close his eyes.
Yang Song noticed him and asked, "What\'s the matter?"
"Squeak, Master, I-I have a condition," Xiao Laoxu lowered his head and said timidly.
Yang Song raised his brows, but he did not object, he deliberately asked, "Oh, what is the condition?"
"I… I hope you don\'t give me exercises anymore," after he said this, Xiao Laoxu immediately turned his body around and avoid Yang Song\'s gaze.
"I see, then you bring the treasures over," Yang Song said calmly.
Xiao Laoxu instantly raised his head and revealed excitement. He thought that Yang Song had agreed to his proposal, he yelled excitedly, "Squeak, okay, Master!"
Then, with a whoosh, Xiao Laoxu turned into a blurry shadow and rushed towards the hole, before disappearing from the secret room.
Yang Song shook his head helplessly with a smile.
…
In the basement of a building in Martial City.
"Fuck, boss, which hole should we choose? There are six holes inside!" A green-haired punk came out of the hole and shouted at the middle-aged and ruthless-looking man.
At first, only one person dug the hole, but after digging and expanding the hole for a while, he found that there were six more holes further inside.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face turned black for the nth time, and he cursed loudly, "Fuck it! They actually came in a group? Those damnable thieves are so wicked! If I catch them, I will stew them alive and let those abyssal beasts eat them!"
Because there were six holes, it meant that there should be six people. Only this kind of logic was applicable. There was no way that one thief would spend time to dig as many as six holes, it would need a lot of time.
Then the middle-aged man said, "Isn\'t it just six holes? Then six of you can just dig the six holes all together!"
Six punks among the more than ten punks nodded as they entered the hole and dug it, trying to expand the narrow hole gradually.
Initially, they bought a lot of digging tools. But when they stayed digging for real, they found that digging by hands directly was more convenient. It was not much for them since they were actually Warrior martial artists.
However, after digging and crawling farther and farther for almost an hour, they turned left and right a few times. But then, they realized something was not right. By the time they tried to turned back and return to the basement, they found that the path had changed.
After trying for dozens of minutes, they confirmed the fact that they were led astray by this maze-like hole.
Back at the basement, the middle-aged man and others were still waiting inside. Suddenly, a cell phone rang.
"What is it?" A punk answered the phone. Then, after hearing the content, his face stunned on the spot.
After the call ended, he looked at his boss and said, "Boss, they got lost in the hole!"
The middle-aged who had just calmed down had the urge to vomit blood in anger at this moment.
"There are countless more holes and passages inside the hole, and before they knew it, they already got lost inside. Now, they are trying to find a way to get back," the subordinate continued.
At first, the middle-aged man thought that his minions were so dumb to the point that they could even get lost inside a simple hole. But after hearing that, his hatred against the culprits who stole his treasures shot through the roof.
He looked at his minion and said angrily, "Tell them not to come back, just dig their way through until they find a useful place inside there! If they dare to come back, I will personally break their necks!"
The guy who reported earlier immediately called and told the people inside the holes.
