Old Tie paused as he spoke, looking at Little San on his left and said, "Didn't you use rotten eggs to ambush me back then? My skills weren't bad either, and I only fell for one. How could I possibly remember such a small matter?"
"And you, Little Four. Just a mere little snake, I remember using it to supplement my body back then. I still miss that spirited snake meat."
By this time, Old Tie had placed his hands on both their shoulders, while the latter wore expressions of bitter smiles.
"You can rest assured. If it weren't for the time constraint, I would have planned to catch up with you first. Why would I make things difficult for you?"
*Gulp.*
They both swallowed in unison.
Five minutes later, Old Wang, the bartender waiting at the Red Coast, stared at the entrance with a puzzled expression.
"That's strange, weren't they supposed to arrive around this time? Why haven't I seen anyone? Could something have happened?"
Old Wang muttered to himself, but he had no intention of getting up to check.
In fact, if it weren't for the punishment he received, he wouldn't even be here.
An invasion of intruders in the camp was not an everyday occurrence. For them, it was the best opportunity to earn blood crystals!
If he had known about this earlier, he would never have left that night! In fact, when he learned that he had missed the opportunity to enter because he left temporarily, he was already filled with regret!
Damn it, was dating more important than blood crystals?
He was later punished by his superiors to guard the Red Coast and not leave. Otherwise, he would have gone in with them long ago!
Although it was a bit late, getting a taste was better than not tasting it at all!
He who had thought there was no hope suddenly heard the Death Storm erupting inside. At this time, it was a predicament for those inside the camp, but for those outside, it was a golden opportunity to earn blood crystals!
Fortunately, the higher-ups were not unreasonable. With only one day left, they gave him a guiding mission, allowing him a chance to go in and get his last piece of the pie.
However, the mission target was迟迟不来, which made him feel a bit uneasy.
"Could it be that the higher-ups are playing a trick on me? Because I always deceive them?"
Old Wang rubbed his head. He had disappeared while working as a bartender more than once or twice.
After all, blood crystals weren't spent casually. Many people came early, ordered a drink, and sat there all night. By the latter half of the night, he barely had any work to do.
And since the higher-ups didn't bother to investigate, it was naturally easy to find out when something happened.
He was now beginning to suspect that the higher-ups had a grudge against him and were deliberately messing with him.
However, just then, three figures finally appeared at the entrance.
To his surprise, two of them were actually acquaintances.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother? Why are you two here too? Are you going in this time as well?"
At this moment, Little San and Little Four had their heads bowed, so Old Wang couldn't see their faces. He only saw Old Tie's monk-like smile.
His two older brothers and an old man, this lineup looked stranger and stranger. Old Wang couldn't figure out who was going in.
Then, Little San and Little Four finally looked up, their bruised and swollen faces emitting a muffled voice, "We're not going in. This senior, Old Tie, is the person you're responsible for. You can't be disrespectful just because he's old."
They spoke in unison and then both looked at Old Tie.
"Haha, you two are truly thoughtful. Alright, we'll get together another time. You two can go back now."
Old Tie patted their shoulders. With the last sentence, the two of them immediately turned and left as if they had been granted amnesty. Their decisive manner left Old Wang stunned.
"Strange, when did Third Brother and Fourth Brother get so badly injured? They can't even walk steadily?"
The place where the two of them were guarding was not far from the tavern entrance, and he had been staying here all along, yet he hadn't heard any unusual noise from outside.
However, this was still Red Coast territory, and the mission was assigned by the higher-ups, so he naturally wouldn't suspect any intruders. After the two left, he walked up to Old Tie.
"Senior, it's the most dangerous time inside right now. You'll have to stick close to me."
Old Wang didn't sense much aura from Old Tie. Looking at Old Tie's white hair and aged appearance, he didn't associate him with those transcendent experts whose demeanor was completely different at first glance.
He just took him for an ordinary cultivator.
This was also a kind of instinct.
If they were true experts, as long as their strength was not significantly different, he could sense something unusual.
Even if their strength was vastly different and the other party deliberately concealed it, as long as he kept staring, it wouldn't escape his instinctive reaction.
And he couldn't detect any abnormality from Old Tie. This situation usually only occurred when the opponent's strength was far inferior to his own and they primarily cultivated a concealment technique, which was why Old Wang didn't take it to heart.
Old Tie didn't say much and just nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Old Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The most troublesome part of such missions was encountering self-important individuals.
Not only were such people difficult to deal with, but more importantly, they were prone to disobeying orders in critical moments! After all, it was the Black Spirit stage inside.
Let alone him, even his superiors would be in a state of eternal damnation if they were not careful!
If it hadn't been for the prior instruction to cooperate fully, he wouldn't have dared to bring anyone in.
However, being relatively young, he had no idea that the old man in front of him was far more astute than he imagined.
At this moment, at the entrance to the underground world.
Since the last batch of Red Coast personnel had all entered, those guarding the outside were people sent by the General Bureau and the Wu family.
A total of over thirty people, divided into two groups, standing on the left and right.
Among them, only a few experts had deployed spiritual barriers, effectively blocking all the more than ten Black figures inside.
"You foolish people! Black Spirits are the greatest existence in this world, why don't you accept it!"
A leading seven-layer expert inside stared intently at everyone. He did not make a move among the Black figures attacking the spiritual barrier.
Although his language was similar to that of the Black figures below the fifth layer, his expression appeared quite composed.
The people from the Wu family and the General Bureau outside were like two separate groups, each minding their own business.
The leaders were both men in their forties, but the Wu family's leader appeared more ruthless, while the General Bureau's leader was more composed.
If Li Chonglou were present, he would surely notice two familiar figures in the Wu family's contingent.
"No more nonsense. I'll give you one last warning. We're going in soon. If you dare to block us again, we'll show no mercy."
The General Bureau's leader suddenly spoke, and his words made the faces of the Black figures inside darken.
"Do you really think the inside is all your territory?"
