"Who's there, come out! I see you!"
The booming shout of the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang echoed through the passage.
At the same time, he pulled out a large cleaver and walked towards the direction where Ye Feng was hiding.
"Come out!"
The leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang roared again. Even without seeing the other party, he could feel the fierce expression on the other person's face.
Moreover, the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang quickened his pace, the tip of the cleaver scraping against the stone wall of the passage, creating sparks.
Before long, the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang was less than 3 meters away from Ye Feng's position.
"Hmm?!"
Just as Ye Feng was about to make a move to kill the other party, the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang suddenly stopped, then turned around and continued walking forward humming a tune.
"This guy... was he testing me just now?!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, feeling a little more cautious.
As the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang moved, Ye Feng also moved, following behind him again, maintaining a greater distance for safety.
...
After a while, just as Ye Feng was wondering if he had followed the wrong person, the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang finally stopped.
"Hey, Viper, wake up, the boss sent me to check on the wristband holder!"
Immediately after, the voice of the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang rang out.
Ye Feng took out a small makeup mirror, extended it from the corner of the stone wall, and peered out.
He saw that the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang was standing in front of a large iron gate. In front of the gate stood a middle-aged man in a black cloak with his eyes closed.
Hearing the voice of the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang, the black-cloaked middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm not you, it doesn't make much difference to me whether I open my eyes or not, since I don't rely on my eyes to see things!"
The black-cloaked middle-aged man's voice was unusually calm, and his expression was somewhat cold.
As he spoke, the black-cloaked middle-aged man's tongue, forked like a snake's, flicked out and twitched.
Then, he took out a strange-looking large metal key from his pocket, faced the iron gate, and prepared to open it.
"Viper, stop the nonsense and open the door quickly. I have to go to the auction venue after I finish checking!"
The leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang was clearly impatient.
"Hiss~"
The black-cloaked middle-aged man, addressed as Viper, did not speak. Instead, he turned his head to look behind the leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang and flicked his tongue again.
"Owl, you're being followed!"
Suddenly, the Viper man narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"Don't joke around, my eyes can see in the dark. On the way here, I checked multiple times, and no one was following me. I even tried to trick you!"
"There's no one there, hurry up and open the door!"
The leader of the Gold Chain Skull Gang, called Owl, didn't pay much attention to this.
"I'm not joking, I can sense the heat emitted by living creatures. Someone is in that corner!"
The Viper man flicked his snake-like tongue again, lowered his voice, and spoke.
"What?"
Hearing the Viper man's words, Owl's expression also became serious.
Then, the two nodded at each other, holding their weapons, and quickly walked towards Ye Feng's location.
"Whoosh!"
As Viper and Owl reached the corner where Ye Feng was, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly darted out.
"You..."
"You..."
"Bang! Bang~!"
Just as Viper and Owl exclaimed in surprise, two dull thuds sounded.
Ye Feng had struck both of their throats with extreme speed, cutting off their impending shouts!
With a heavy blow to their throats, Viper and Owl found it difficult to breathe. Their faces contorted in pain, and they instinctively reached out to cover their throats.
"Bang bang!~"
At this moment, two more dull thuds sounded.
Ye Feng flashed behind the two and struck their vagus nerves with a chop.
"Ugh~"
Viper and Owl grunted, their bodies went limp, and they fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Damn... this guy..."
He was too far away and the light was dim. Moreover, Viper was wearing a large hooded black cloak, so Ye Feng hadn't seen him clearly.
This Viper not only had a forked tongue like a snake, but his entire face was covered in snake scales, and he seemed to have molted.
Despite his surprise, Ye Feng did not stop. He quickly picked up the large iron key that Viper had dropped and prepared to open the door.
"Crack!~"
Suddenly, the sound of a whip lashing into Ye Feng's ears.
"Ah!~"
Followed by a shrill scream.
"Damn it, behave yourself!~"
"Crack! Ah..."
"Hey, don't hit so hard, this newly captured wristband holder is worth 500 Arcane Yuan coins!"
"Pah, last time you almost raped that female wristband holder to death, why didn't you say so!"
"Crack! Uh~ Ah..."
...
Then there was a burst of discussion, screams, and curses.
Ye Feng glanced at the scene, frowned slightly, and then reached for Viper's black cloak...
...
After walking for a while, three figures appeared in Ye Feng's line of sight.
Walking at the forefront was a young man with a bruised face, multiple injuries, and handcuffed and shackled. His attire was oddly familiar to Ye Feng.
Behind the young man were two burly men in skull-patterned clothing. One held a long, thorny whip in his hand.
The other held a metal staff, with a hook at one end. The hook was attached to a metal collar around the young man's neck, controlling his forward movement.
"Brother Snake!"
Seeing Ye Feng, who was wearing a black cloak with his face almost completely hidden in the shadow of his hood, standing at the entrance of the large iron gate, the man holding the metal staff greeted him with a smile, appearing quite familiar with Viper.
"Brother Snake!"
The man holding the whip also greeted him. Unlike the man with the metal staff, his tone was cautious, and his expression was a little nervous.
"Brother Snake, this is Chen Duozui, nicknamed Wild Dog. You can call him Wild Dog!"
The metal staff man pointed to the whip-wielding man next to him and introduced him.
"Greetings, Brother Snake!"
The man holding the whip greeted Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng did not speak. Instead, he quietly observed the two men, while his consciousness communicated with his spatial warehouse, preparing to retrieve his Tang blade at any moment.
"Then... Brother Snake, about this wristband holder of ours..."
Seeing Ye Feng's prolonged silence, the metal staff man tentatively spoke.
"It seems these two really think I'm Viper!"
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gently at the two, then took out the large metal key, turned slightly, inserted the key into the lock, and began to turn it.
"Ka ka ka~..."
The metallic sounds echoed, especially loud in the dim passage.
"Brother Stick, why are there two people kneeling on the ground next to Brother Snake?"
"And why is Brother Snake's entire head almost covered by that big hat!"
Suddenly, Wild Dog spoke to the metal staff man beside him.
