414: Chapter 408: Annihilation 414: Chapter 408: Annihilation Chen Laohei had already taken action, and Yan Sanpao, who was a few steps behind, could only grit his teeth and hurriedly follow.
When they were still about fifteen to twenty ters away from Chen Hai’s ancestral ho, the two exchanged glances and nodded.
They deliberately slowed their pace, starting to tiptoe toward the position of the main gate, carefully making their way over.
Chen Laohei had been holding a small axe in his hand the whole ti.
As for Yan Sanpao, he reached down to his waist and pulled out a dagger.
Going out to handle affairs and carrying weapons was a habit they both had maintained for a long ti.
After all, it’s not fear of ten thousand things going wrong, but the fear of that one thing happening.
The local customs of the ti were sowhat aggressive; should they be caught red-handed by the hoowner,
simply being reported and sent to the police station would be considered lucky on their part.
A worse scenario could see them stripped of their clothing, hanged from a tree, and viciously whipped with a belt, leaving them half-dead — not an impossible event!
Just before the New Year, in mid-December, a loafer from a nearby village had co to Chenjiaping Village to steal cured at and ended up suffering that exact fate.
Chen Laohei happened to be there at the ti, one of the crowd that beat the loafer hanging from the tree.
Catching soone else and beating them felt satisfying, but if such a thing happened to him, his end would be quite miserable!
Both Chen Laohei and Yan Sanpao, being tough n, carried weapons as a precaution against unforeseen incidents.
Chen Hai’s old residence certainly wasn’t reinforced with steel and concrete.
The walls, made of wooden planks, did not join perfectly airtight; many gaps were clearly visible.
They cautiously approached the main door.
Yan Sanpao and Chen Laohei looked at each other, each finding a gap in the door to peek through into the house.
Inside the sowhat ssy main hall, Chen Hai sat cross-legged.
In his hands, he continuously flipped a small object, only a quarter of the size of a palm, resembling a small sachet.
Since the electricity bill had long been unpaid, the electric lights in the old house were re decorations.
As for using a candle, Chen Hai didn’t need such things.
After all, being able to control fire, he could ignite a fla in front of him at any ti to illuminate the surrounding area.
The crafting of Fine Gold Wire, intended for weaving the small sachet, had been perfectly completed that afternoon.
The skin of the Giant Kun had completely enveloped the woven Fine Gold Wire.
The step Chen Hai was currently undertaking involved using the power of his Divine Soul to integrate the Fine Gold Wire, acting as the ridians, fully into the Giant Kun skin, making it a complete entity.
This step was the most crucial in crafting the Storage Bag.
After this step, all that remained was for Chen Hai to leave his unique ntal imprint inside the Storage Bag, and the crafting would be considered successfully completed.
However, if he were to be disturbed during this process and it caused the crafting to fail,
not just the Fine Gold Wire but also the Giant Kun skin would be utterly ruined and turn to nothing.
In the dark room, the Fine Gold Wire that was slowly integrating into the Giant Kun skin emitted a multicolored divine light.
Chen Laohei and Yan Sanpao had seen the bright light shining from the house earlier, which was clearly the multicolored light emitted by the Fine Gold Wire.
“This is…”
“A treasure, definitely a treasure.
With that item in the kid’s hands, we can definitely sell it for a good price!”
Seeing the scene through the gap in the door, the shock on both Yan Sanpao’s and Chen Laohei’s faces was utterly unmistakable.
Actually, they didn’t know what that sachet-like item in Chen Hai’s hand truly was!
However, anyone who saw the intermittent burst of colorful divine light from the item would instinctively believe it was an extrely rare treasure.
“That kid, I know him, a youngster from Chen Zhonghua’s family who got into university!”
“A scholar good for nothing but books.
Just a kid like that, I can handle several at once.”
“Let’s go, let’s barge right in!”
Retracting their gaze from the crack in the door, whether it was Chen Laohei or Yan Sanpao, both their faces were visibly filled with greed.
Murmuring softly, although Chen Laohei spoke these words, he did not take action directly but looked toward Yan Sanpao.
The door of this kind of wooden house was secured with wooden latches inside.
If Chen Laohei were to act, he could only use brute force, kicking several tis to forcibly break open the door.
Yan Sanpao, skilled with his hands, could easily flip open the wooden latch with his knife.
Seeing Chen Laohei’s intent, it was clear he wanted Yan Sanpao to take action and handle the door.
“The item is in that kid’s hands; he’s sitting on the ground, wide awake, not asleep at all.”
“You’re from the sa village; you know him, and he must know you too.”
“Rushing in like this, just openly snatching it, is that appropriate?”
Although his heart was already filled with greed, Yan Sanpao still managed to maintain a bit of clarity.
With so suspicion, he tentatively spoke up to confirm with Chen Laohei.
“If there’s nothing valuable in this house and soone is at ho, awake, I would definitely retreat imdiately.”
“But now, the thing that boy holds in his hands, it emits circles of colorful radiance, such a treasure, must be worth at least tens or hundreds of thousands.”
“With that thing in our hands, after selling it, we can buy houses in a big city and beco true city folk.”
“Would you really want to miss such an opportunity to get rich?”
Chen Laohei sneered.
After a slight pause, he spoke again, adding, “That boy, the fact that we saw the treasure in his hands, is just his bad luck.”
“What can he do even if he recognizes ?”
“Take the thing, kill the person, and we flee into the night, this matter might just beco an unresolved case.”
“Only if the item is successfully sold and we have money in hand, we can change our nas and live elsewhere for ten or eight years.”
“By then, we will be city folk, returning in glory, in others’ eyes, we will be successful people…”
As he said these words, Chen Laohei’s face was fierce, and a clear intent to kill had already appeared.
Even his voice was no longer deliberately lowered.
It seed he was determined, prepared to risk it all!
Seeing that Yan Sanpao seed still hesitant, an increasingly impatient Chen Laohei forcibly kicked the door.
With a loud “bang,” the door latch was kicked off, and the front door was forcefully kicked open.
Holding the small axe in his hand, Chen Laohei strode into the hall behind the front door.
Behind him, Yan Sanpao hesitated briefly before succumbing to the temptation of getting rich.
He gritted his teeth and followed inside.
“Wrongdoing leads to death, Hongming, Blood Food is here…”
Chen Hai, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowned and snorted coldly.
Chen Laohei and Yan Sanpao had just carefully approached their front door, and he had already sensed sothing.
However, as he was at a critical mont in crafting the Storage Bag, he couldn’t spare any attention to deal with them.
If at that mont, Chen Laohei and Yan Sanpao had the sense to retreat, Chen Hai might not have bothered to pursue the matter.
But now, their actions were simply seeking their own deaths…
“Shhh… shhh…”
Barely distracted, he snorted coldly and gave a command to Hongming.
Several spots on the Storage Bag that Chen Hai was crafting started emitting wisps of smoke, showing several spots the size of cigarette butts.
Seeing this, his heart ached trendously.
Just as Chen Laohei barged into the hall, he heard Chen Hai’s light hum and paused.
But only for a mont, he quickly reacted.
Amidst bizarre yells, he raised the small axe, preparing to rush over and strike Chen Hai.
Just at that mont, a streak of Blood Light flashed by.
Chen Laohei, who had just taken a step, froze in his motion.
The blood-colored Cloud Magpie, transford from the Hongming Blade, had already swiftly pounced onto his forehead.
With a “clang,” the small axe in Chen Laohei’s hand was no longer in his grip and fell to the ground.
His entire body visibly withered away at a rapid pace.
With a loud ‘boom’, he fell stiffly to the ground, his body as decayed as dead wood, utterly devoid of life.
Without sufficient Mana to expend, Hongming’s strength was only a fraction of what it was at its peak.
Yet, it was still easy to kill an ordinary person as if stepping on an ant.
For most matters, Chen Hai’s call might be ignored by it.
But concerning Blood Food, especially when the target is a living person, its response is quicker than a rabbit’s.
From Chen Laohei forcefully kicking the door open to Chen Hai’s light hum, to Hongming turning into a blood-colored Cloud Magpie and devouring all of Chen Laohei’s spirit, qi, and ntal…
Though it sounds slow, it actually happened in an instant.
Just hesitating briefly, Yan Sanpao, who stepped into the hall right behind Chen Laohei, saw his companion’s body, like a dried corpse, crashing to the ground.
This scene was too eerie, too incredulous.
“It’s not my fault, really not my fault, I was just passing by…”
At his wit’s end, Yan Sanpao’s face had lost all color.
He kept retreating while muttering, and when he reached the vicinity of the door, he turned around, preparing to run.
But he had only made a step or two when the Blood Light flashed again; the blood-colored Cloud Magpie, transford from Hongming, had already pounced onto his head…
