Chapter 163: Assassination
As soon as the word "punished" came out, Hao Jun suddenly felt a cold sweat on his body, but with his height and weight, he instinctively shouted at the man: "You dare!
The man didn't even look at him, the dagger in his hand shook slightly, and a blood mark as thin as a cicada's wing appeared on Hao Jun's neck. This made Hao Jun's second half of the words stiffly suffocated. Lu Tianxiang also stopped groping on the demon at this time, and the whole person exuded a cold momentum, squinting his eyes and saying coldly: "Is this your secret hall's attitude towards customer service?"
The man smiled, slowly withdrew the dagger in his hand and said: "Our services are clearly priced, this time for your sake to save his life, but the price will be increased by thirty percent." ”
Hao Jun glared when he heard this, and shouted, "Sancheng!?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the man stretched out his left hand, opened his five fingers, and said softly: "Fifty." ”
At this time, Hao Jun was even more angry, and yelled at the man: "You lion open your mouth, you are not afraid of causing trouble to your secret hall!"
The man spread his hands as if he didn't care, and said with a wicked smile: "Double." ”
"You!" Hao Jun was furious and was about to open his mouth to scold, but Lu Tianxiang's angry voice came: "Shut up!"
Then Lu Tianxiang looked at the man with murderous intent in his eyes and said, "Yes, but you get out of here." Otherwise, I will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Longde City. ”
The man laughed and shook his head, as if he didn't take Lu Tianxiang's words seriously, slowly, he staggered up from the seat, and then shook his body and turned into an afterimage passing past Lu Tianxiang. As soon as Lu Tianxiang entered, he was about to take action to protect himself, but as soon as he raised his hand, the man's afterimage had already passed by him, and it did not cause him any harm, but the demon in his arms suddenly trembled and let out a shy scream. Lu Tianxiang heard the voice of the demon, of course he knew that the demonic ghost was probably lightened by that person. If you want to say when a man is most likely to lose his cool, it is of course when his woman is despised by other men, so at this time, Lu Tianxiang has forgotten that the man is much stronger than himself, and when he was about to get up and fight with him, he found that when he stood up and went to look for the man, this person had disappeared, and it was not until a moment later that there was a sound of debauched laughter in the distance.
Lu Tianxiang, who was angry, pressed it on the coffee table on the side. With a "snap", the coffee table collapsed in response, and Lu Tianxiang's eyes were red and said: "After understanding this matter, I will definitely make the dark hall completely disappear in Longde City!"
……
Before dawn on the second day, outside the inn where Xiaoba and the others lived, there was a quick knock on the door, and after the innkeeper Li opened the door, he saw that the man was a man dressed as a servant, although the man was a servant, but he was full of arrogance, and left after throwing a letter to the shopkeeper Li.
The letter was for the rice balls, and the shopkeeper Li didn't dare to delay, so he sent the letter up, and after Xiaoba and the others saw the letter, they realized that the venue and time of the original Chef God Contest had been changed, and it became an afternoon, which was held at the foot of Longshan Mountain in the south of Longde City. This change made everyone vaguely feel a little strange in their hearts, Xiaoba and others these days, also have some understanding of Longde City, in Longde City, if the Imperial City is the most authoritative place, then Longshan is the most sacred place, and because of its sacredness, it is usually forbidden for outsiders to enter and exit. It's just that at this time, although they knew that there must be some conspiracy planned in the middle, for the sake of the rice ball competition, everyone could only bite the bullet. As for the fairness promised by Autumn Leaves and Li Menglin and others, Xiao Hachi didn't count on it, it was naturally good to be able to play fairly, but if you all count on others, this is no longer Xiao Hachi's character, maybe the previous Xiao Hachi will rely on the help of these others, but after he has experienced so much, he has deeply understood that no matter what, only he is the most trustworthy. But of course Hachi won't say this to Fantuan, not to mention that it will affect Fantuan's mood and make her unable to focus during the game, just to make her such a little girl worry and be afraid, and it's not what Hachi is willing to do, so no matter what he thinks, Hachi said to Fantuan "Don't worry, you just need to win the other party in the game." ”
The time of the morning suddenly became very little, but it passed in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Hachi and the others had already come to the foot of the Dragon Mountain in the southern city.
Longshan, the most sacred place in Longde City, because the whole Longshan is like a lifelike dragon head, because of its huge and image, the origin of this place is also a matter of opinion. Some say it's actually the remains of a giant dragon, weathered to stone because it's been so old. It is also said that this dragon head was carved by a certain god, and this place was originally a flat land, but then suddenly one day, because the earth shook, a huge spring appeared on the ground, and the water from the spring directly flooded the surrounding land for thousands of miles, making the people miserable, animals, and vegetation were all killed in large numbers. And a god with boundless power, because of his mercy for the local people, deliberately moved a mountain from thousands of miles away to shake the spring. However, because the spring water is so huge, just the mountain alone cannot be completely suppressed, because the dragon is in charge of the power of the water, so the god of heaven integrated his own mana and carved the mountain into a dragon head to suppress the place. Although there are various legends about Longshan, there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, this mountain was not carved by man, and this is not denied by the Lumi Dynasty, because this mountain already existed at the time of its founding.
In front of the dragon mountain, there is a secluded wood, called, Youtan Trail. The Hidden Pond Trail is named for its twists and turns, and the shadows of the trees that resemble a deep green pool in the sunlight. As soon as Hachi and the others arrived at the gate of the Youtan Trail, they were stopped by several soldiers.
The soldier respectfully said to the rice balls, "Excuse me, this is the rice ball player, right?"
Onigiri nodded, "Well, I am." ”
Hearing what the rice ball said, the soldier immediately saluted and said: "My name is Dong Gang, because the terrain of the Youtan Trail is complicated, so in order to avoid the delay of your passage, I am responsible for taking you to the competition venue, please follow me." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and took the lead in entering the secluded pond path.
Hearing Dong Gang say this, Xiaoba frowned, but when he saw that Fantuan and the others had already followed, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Ba opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Dong, since the terrain of the Youtan Trail is so complicated, why did you choose to hold the Chef God Contest here? You took us in, what about the other spectators who came to visit the competition? What if you get lost, you don't need to bring them all in, right?"
"I don't know why the Chef Contest is held here, I'm just a pawn in charge of the security work here, how can I know why the above has decided this, but since the above has decided, we just need to abide by it, as for the other spectators, it is said that they seem to enter the competition from the east, and there will be someone to lead them, so you can rest assured of this. ”
"What, Brother Dong, you said that they would take another path, but the person who sent us the letter in the morning told us to come here, there would be no problem. Hachi only felt a tightness in his heart at this time, and suddenly a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
Dong Gang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It said that the contestants will go here, in order to facilitate the appearance for a while, I don't know the specifics, but you are too careful, this is a royal garden, who dares to be here..."
"Be careful!" shouted Hachi.
But although Xiaoba had already shouted in time, Dong Gang's voice still disappeared. Because a dark shadow had appeared in front of him, and a dagger the length of a palm in his hand ruthlessly slashed his throat.
After the dagger slashed through his throat, the black shadow suddenly disappeared, so fast that everyone could barely see its movements, but they could not track its figure. This scene made Xiao Hachi and the others cover their backs with a layer of cold sweat at the same time, and at the same time, they took out their weapons to protect them.
