"Kill him?"
Blood Python grinned, and the snake tattoo on his chest twitched.
As if a real giant python had opened its bloody maw, the tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man couldn't help but shrink back.
"Little Lánzi, do you really think you can beat that kid from just now?"
As he spoke, Blood Python looked in Ye Feng's direction and narrowed his eyes.
"Wh-what?"
The tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man looked bewildered.
"I can, Boss Blood Python, I was just careless and got sneak-attacked by that kid!"
"I definitely can, I'll go right now..."
The tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man's voice trailed off weakly at the end.
This was because he noticed that many people in the convoy, including Blood Python, were looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Little Lánzi, do you know how fast that kid's slap was?"
Blood Python took a bottle of whiskey from the car, opened it, and took a swig, speaking calmly.
"That kid is indeed not simple!"
Before the tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man could react, a middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind him.
The middle-aged man had an explosion of hair and a spider tattooed on his face.
The spider tattoo was not proportioned well, with its head being excessively large, almost covering his entire forehead.
And the spider's head was a terrifying ghost face!
"Boss Ghost Spider!"
The tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man turned his head and was surprised.
Ghost Spider ignored the tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man and walked directly towards Blood Python. "Those three people only arrived at the Firefly Outpost yesterday, and they took the sulfuric acid rain route!"
"I've inquired. Besides the Cheetah Exploration Team, no one knew those three before yesterday!"
"They traveled a long distance and are not injured!"
"Especially that young kid, for him to be able to lead two beautiful women, one adult and one child, in such a situation... his strength must be considerable..."
"And he has space rift fragments!"
Ghost Spider had clearly investigated Ye Feng and knew quite a bit about him.
"This..."
Hearing Ghost Spider's words, the tongue-pierced, smoky-eyed man broke out in a cold sweat.
He had approached Ye Feng because Ye Feng was only carrying a very ordinary, somewhat deflated backpack and no weapons.
After hearing Ghost Spider's words, Blood Python also frowned.
After a long while, he spoke slowly, "Since that kid took the sulfuric acid rain route, do you think he might have the Slippery Tree, or even the Slippery Fruit?"
"I observed that kid secretly for a long time yesterday, and it's hard to be sure!"
"Besides weapons, that kid just puts his hand into his backpack to get things... it's hard to tell!"
Ghost Spider shook his head.
"Interesting!"
Blood Python glanced at the entire outpost, his pupils dilated, transforming into eyes identical to a python's.
...
Meanwhile,
Inside the only RV at the Firefly Base,
"Your Excellency Bing, that's all the information I have~"
After speaking, Qi Banxian stood respectfully to the side, his expression deferential.
Qi Banxian was speaking to someone wearing a flower mask. The flower-masked person did not reply and was idly playing with a round metal piece in his hand.
If Ye Feng were present, he would be extremely surprised.
Because the flower-masked person was holding a survival coin, and it was a complete survival coin that Ye Feng desired!
"Forget it, Qi Banxian. I noticed that kid driving the military Humvee too,"
"He might have some strength, but that kid isn't qualified to join us!"
The flower-masked person didn't speak. Inside the RV, a middle-aged man with a drinker's nose, drinking Erguotou, spoke up.
"Exactly. He doesn't even have any arcane energy fluctuations on him. How strong can he be?"
As soon as the drinker's nose man finished speaking, a middle-aged man next to him, holding a lit kerosene lamp, also chimed in, his tone full of disdain.
Seeing this, Qi Banxian frowned slightly but said nothing.
"Did you all have arcane energy from birth?"
At this moment, the flower-masked person spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, making it impossible to determine his gender.
As soon as the flower-masked person finished speaking, the flame of the kerosene lamp held by the middle-aged man suddenly shrank, almost extinguishing, and the temperature inside the RV seemed to drop.
Seeing this, the drinker's nose man and the kerosene lamp man's expressions changed drastically!
"I say, drinker's nose, kerosene guy, why are you so snobbish?"
"Didn't you guys not have arcane energy before either?"
At this moment, a young man lying on a hammock and gnawing on a chicken leg inside the RV spoke up.
"Jiang Sishan, what the hell are you saying?"
Upon hearing this, the drinker's nose man and the kerosene lamp man became enraged.
"Oh, my apologies, I misspoke. Not drinker's nose and kerosene guy!"
"It's Senior Bi Mao and Senior Mei You!"
Jiang Sishan said this calmly and tossed the gnawed chicken leg out the window.
"You..."
"You!"
Bi Mao and Mei You's veins bulged on their foreheads after hearing Jiang Sishan's seemingly apologetic, yet utterly sickening words.
Because compared to being called by their names, they would rather be called drinker's nose and kerosene guy.
Those two names were practically reopening old wounds!
"Your Excellency Bing, there's a situation. I don't know if I should say it!"
Seeing that the three were on the verge of a fight, Qi Banxian quickly spoke to divert their attention.
"Go ahead!"
The flower-masked person responded, giving the three an out.
"That explorer named Ye Feng seems to be interested in that round metal piece in your hand as well!"
Saying this, Qi Banxian recounted Ye Feng's discussion about the round metal piece with someone at a stall that morning.
"Oh?"
...
At the same time,
Ye Feng, Ling Xi, and Xiao Xiao were in front of a somewhat cluttered杂货摊子.
"Come on, explorers, take a look! A ten-year-old family business!"
"Here, you can buy supplies that will definitely be useful for going to the City of Despair!"
"Look at this big saber, it's so sharp when it cuts zombies. Look at this mace..."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man. Seeing Ye Feng and the other two, he enthusiastically started introducing his wares.
"Are you selling that bronze treasure chest?"
Ye Feng stated his purpose directly.
He was just wandering around the area when his peripheral vision caught sight of an unopened bronze treasure chest, and he quickly walked over.
After all, it contained the complete survival coin he wanted!
He had seen survival coins elsewhere in the camp, but most of them were damaged, some even cut into several pieces and made into small knives...
"This..."
The stall owner hesitated.
He had just picked up the bronze treasure chest yesterday and hadn't opened it because he was busy with something, so he had placed it there.
"Little brother, to be honest, this bronze treasure chest contains 6 types of supplies, and there's a chance of getting rare items besides basic living necessities..."
"Speaking of this bronze treasure chest, it's a truly touching story. It was a rainy night..."
"...It has accompanied me through so many storms, like a reliable family member..."
"Once, someone offered to trade it for an AK47 and 100 rounds of ammunition, and I refused without a second thought!"
"After all these years, it can be said to be my kin..."
By the end, the stall owner even shed a few tears.
Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned and turned to leave.
Since the other party had said this, it felt like forcing him to buy it.
But just as Ye Feng was about to turn away, the stall owner spoke again,
"You'll have to pay extra!"
...
"Boss, should I go and apprehend that kid for interrogation?"
At this moment,
