Chapter 282: Poisoned! Wolf Head Mercenary Group!
Chapter 282: Poisoned! Wolf Head Mercenary Group!
After Xiao Yixian's figure disappeared into the dark crack, in another part of the sky, the space suddenly distorted, and soon, a figure of a silver-haired young girl emerged from the twisted space.
The silver-haired young girl took a light step and followed Xiao Yixian into the dark crack.
As Xiao Yixian stepped into the dark crack, the surroundings remained pitch black. However, it seemed that there was a faint silver light shimmering at the end of her vision.
Concentrating all her energy, Xiao Yixian began to fly towards the faint silver light at the end.
After a while, a silver light ring became clearer and clearer in her sight.
This silver light ring should be the real entrance to the ruins.
After a moment of thought, Xiao Yixian slowly stepped into the silver light ring. As her body completely entered the silver light ring, a strong dizziness struck her.
When Xiao Yixian opened her eyes again, she found herself standing on a vast grassland without the presence of Ma Dayuan and his group.
Scanning the surroundings, Xiao Yixian said excitedly, "It seems that I guessed right. The space crack is indeed the entrance to the ruins!"
Then, Xiao Yixian locked onto a direction and vibrated her purple Dou Qi wings on her back, flying towards it.
After flying for a long time, Xiao Yixian finally saw not an endless grassland in front of her, but gradually appearing trees, and these trees were generally much larger than those outside.
"This space is too vast. Just the grassland alone covers nearly a hundred miles..." Xiao Yixian muttered to herself. Then, she continued to fly towards the ancient forest above.
However, as she continued to fly, she suddenly noticed that there were other creatures surviving in the dense forest below.
Curious, Xiao Yixian found a relatively open area and landed in the forest.
Meanwhile, in another location.
At the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range in the Empire of Jiamadu.
In Qing Shan Town, a white-clothed girl with a sword hanging from her waist stepped into the crowded street and walked straight to a small shop.
The girl had delicate features and a slender figure, exuding a unique aura different from ordinary people.
Putting the sword on the table, Nalan Yanran took out several pieces of different types of Demon Beast meat from her storage ring and placed them on the table nearby. Then, she shouted loudly, "Boss, fry these pieces of Demon Beast meat for me separately, and you can keep the rest for yourself. Also, bring me another pot of wine!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Nalan Yanran's voice, the burly boss behind the counter quickly called the waiters.
"Miss Lan, please wait a moment. I'll arrange it for you right away." Two waiters hurried over, greeted Nalan Yanran warmly, and then moved the several pieces of Demon Beast meat to the kitchen.
During her days of training in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Nalan Yanran almost always came out from the dull environment and rested in this bustling Qing Shan Town for a while.
Today, as usual, she brought some hunted Demon Beast meat to the restaurant for processing. After eating, she planned to take a walk and then find an inn to rest for the night.
When Nalan Yanran arrived at the restaurant today, however, she noticed two strange glances directed at her, but at this moment, she did not pay attention to the gaze.
Not long after, the waiters brought out dishes made from demon beast meat and a jar of good wine to Nalan Yanran's table.
"Miss Lan, the dishes are ready. Please enjoy!" the waiter said.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran nodded gently. She picked up a piece of meat and chewed on it, looking very relaxed.
After swallowing, she put down her chopsticks, quickly poured herself a bowl of wine, and drank it down. The strong liquor quickly flowed down her throat and into her stomach.
"Good wine!"
After Nalan Yanran praised the wine, she suddenly frowned.
"The wine is poisoned!"
"Who poisoned it?"
Her gaze began to search the hall.
Meanwhile...
"Hahaha!"
"We finally found an opportunity to deal with you, beauty."
As Nalan Yanran looked around, two somewhat sinister figures suddenly stood up from a table near the corner.
"Did you two poison the wine?" Nalan Yanran asked with a somewhat weak voice.
"Haha, that's right! We poisoned it!" the two sinister men near the corner said without hesitation.
"It's the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"
"They actually poisoned a young girl. Shameless!"
"If this girl falls into the hands of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, she'll have no good end."
The commotion on Nalan Yanran's side naturally attracted the attention of other customers and the shopkeeper.
However, these people only said a few words and did not dare to step forward to help Nalan Yanran.
The two middle-aged men in their thirties who stood up smirked and walked up to Nalan Yanran. Then, they loudly said, "Second Captain has taken a fancy to you, Miss. How can we not do our best?"
Nalan Yanran stared sharply at the two men and said in a soft voice, "Did Second Captain order you to do this?"
"That's right!"
"Our Second Captain saw your back once and couldn't forget it. However, he didn't have time to find you back then, so he ordered us brothers to keep an eye on Qing Shan Town. Today, we finally caught you."
The two men didn't hide anything and almost told Nalan Yanran everything they knew because, in their eyes, Nalan Yanran was already poisoned and had no resistance.
"Old Four, go tell Second Captain the good news. Tell him that the beauty he's been thinking about is now in the hands of us two brothers."
After the man finished speaking, he reached out to touch Nalan Yanran's face.
However, just then, an extremely sharp sword light suddenly flashed in everyone's eyes. The next moment, the man's hand neatly fell to the ground.
Followed by a mournful scream.
"Ah! My hand, you're not poisoned..."
Before the man could finish his second sentence, Nalan Yanran's second sword had pierced through. With a flash of white light, blood gushed from the man's chest, and he fell to the ground.
The other man took only a few steps before he noticed the commotion. When he turned back to look, a cold aura flashed across his neck. The next moment, he fell backward with his hands covering his neck, his eyes filled with shock.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the others in the shop, Nalan Yanran's eyes carried a hint of coldness. She turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Where is the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"
