Ye Feng turned his head and saw that Xiao Xiao was holding a cage. Inside the cage was a scouting colorful chicken.
However, the scouting colorful chicken in the cage was very thin, its feathers were not as beautiful as the scouting colorful chickens Ye Feng had seen at the city gate, and it looked even somewhat sickly.
"~Jigululu~Wuwu!~!"
Seeing Ye Feng staring at her, the scouting colorful chicken in the cage let out a strange cry and tilted its head, looking quite amusing.
"I didn't expect there to be one!~"
Seeing Xiao Xiao holding the little scouting colorful chicken in the cage, Jiang Si Shan was also a little surprised. After all, this thing was truly a rare item, and it might not even be available in the ghost market.
"Mhm mhm!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Big Brother, this is very expensive... Sister Qiao Ying and I bargained for a long time, and only spent 588 Arcane Yuan Coins to buy it... I have no pocket money left..."
"This price is actually not expensive. After all, scouting colorful chickens are really hard to get. It's not something you can buy with just money..."
Jiang Si Shan chimed in, "The seller probably saw that the scouting colorful chicken was too thin and might not survive, so they sold it for 588 Arcane Yuan Coins!"
"Huh? It won't survive?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao immediately became anxious.
"Uh... although this scouting colorful chicken is quite resilient when it grows up, it is very delicate when it is young. It easily gets sick if it's too hot or too cold, and you have to feed it meat... It's really not easy to raise..."
Jiang Si Shan said quickly.
"Ye Feng, over there!"
At this moment, Qiao Ying whispered to Ye Feng, pointing at the crowd in the distance as she spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Feng looked at Qiao Ying with some confusion.
"Ye Feng, there... there... and there... those people wearing bamboo hats don't seem right... I thought it was a coincidence at first... but now it seems it's not..."
"They are following the route you just took... it seems they are looking for something!"
Qiao Ying pointed to a few places where Ye Feng had stopped and replied.
As she spoke, seven or eight people wearing bamboo hats walked towards Ye Feng. One of the leaders was hunched over, his head almost touching the ground.
"Let's go!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, turned, and walked away briskly, but was soon caught up by the group of people in bamboo hats.
"Sniff sniff sniff!~"
The leading person in the bamboo hat came to the ground beside Ye Feng and inhaled deeply, as if sniffing for a scent. His hunched body slowly straightened up...
The leading person in the bamboo hat sniffed for a long time beside Ye Feng, then suddenly retreated. He pointed at Ye Feng and said, "Boss, it's him, it's him who killed Young Master Rui!"
As soon as he spoke, the other seven people in bamboo hats immediately spread out and surrounded Ye Feng.
"What Young Master Rui? Are you sick, you've mistaken me!"
Ye Feng was a little speechless, he didn't know the person at all.
"Stop pretending!"
"I've injected the bloodhound reinforcement serum! Your scent, even if you turn to ashes, my nose can still smell it!"
The leading person in the bamboo hat looked at the tallest person in the bamboo hat. "Boss, it's him, it's him who killed Young Master Rui at the Divine Stone Experimental Base!"
"Although the visibility was poor in the underground cave at the time and I couldn't see his face clearly, I remember his scent!"
"At that time, she... and she, they were all there, the three of them are a group!!"
Saying that, the leading person in the bamboo hat also pointed at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying.
"Oh my... it's that guy..."
Hearing the leading person in the bamboo hat say that, Ye Feng finally remembered who the Young Master Rui he mentioned was. It was that guy who tried to show off but was killed by the burly dog-headed man...
"Go, arrest him!"
The leader in the bamboo hat roared, and the people in bamboo hats surrounding Ye Feng all lunged at Ye Feng.
"Bang~bang bang!~"
"Crack~Ah!"
"Bang~Crack~"
.........
After a series of crashing sounds, bone-breaking sounds, and screams, Ye Feng threw a smoke bomb and quickly retreated.
"Ye Feng, follow me!"
.........
Under Jiang Si Shan's lead, Ye Feng and the other three took a series of twists and turns. Suddenly, a green light flashed before their eyes, and they left the ghost market, arriving at a place that was equally dark, but clearly not the previous mass grave.
"The ghost market is accessed through teleportation arrays, and the location you arrive at each time you leave is different. This is the abandoned urban area on the outskirts of the Arcane City!"
Saying that, Jiang Si Shan took off the mask on his face. "Ye Feng, what's the situation with Young Master Rui that those people in bamboo hats were talking about?"
"Oh, on our way to the Arcane City, we passed by a Divine Stone Experimental Base. That guy named Rui Shao was one of the explorers..."
Ye Feng described the situation at the time.
"Dog... burly dog-headed man? What is that? Is it some kind of monster?"
After hearing Ye Feng's explanation, Jiang Si Shan had a big question in his heart.
"It's a divine stone experimental subject, a product of irradiation by the divine stone!"
Qiao Ying chimed in.
"This..."
Hearing this, Jiang Si Shan's brows furrowed deeply. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Ye Feng, if I'm not mistaken, those people in bamboo hats just now should be from the Lin family, and the Young Master Rui they mentioned should be Lin Wu Rui! This is a bit troublesome..."
"What's wrong? Does that guy have a strong background?"
"But his death has nothing to do with me, he was killed by that burly dog-headed man~"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and muttered.
"The ghost market is a special existence in the Arcane City. Ordinary people would never dare to act within it, even if they have a mortal feud... But those people in bamboo hats dared to do so just now... This means that the other party is either a reckless fool who is not afraid of death, or they have a very close relationship with the behind-the-scenes controllers of the ghost market!"
"Considering the Young Master Rui you just kicked... those people should have an unusual relationship with the behind-the-scenes controllers of the ghost market..."
"And the behind-the-scenes controller of the ghost market is a top expert of the Arcane City, Lin Ba Sen, one of the Five Arcane Elites..."
Jiang Si Shan explained to Ye Feng in a rather heavy tone.
"Damn... I've offended another one of the Five Arcane Elites... Although it's a bit inexplicable..."
After hearing Jiang Si Shan's explanation, Ye Feng couldn't help but mutter.
"What? What do you mean you've offended another one?"
Jiang Si Shan looked at Ye Feng with surprise. "Ye Feng, you... which of the Five Arcane Elites have you offended... This... is this why you changed your appearance before?"
"Mhm!"
Ye Feng nodded. "It was a guy named Tu Sui. He wanted to kill me at the time, and I blew him up with a nuclear bomb? But he's probably not dead... Is he still alive?"
"Tu Sui? Nuclear bomb? I... I..."
Ye Feng's words left Jiang Si Shan speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond...
"Let's put aside the matter of Tu Sui... I should be able to explain to Lin Ba Sen. Lin Wu Rui didn't kill him!"
At this moment, Ye Feng spoke again.
