Chapter 164 1 Mist
Xiang Nan was already very careful. He imdiately dodged the powder and even held his breath to avoid inhaling too much poisonous gas.
However, when the powder contaminated his body, his heart suddenly sank and he thought that sothing was wrong.
These two children were no ordinary people!
The pale red powder could actually enter his body through human skin. Even if Xiang Nan held his breath, he would not be able to guard against it.
At this mont, Xiang Nan felt a top-heavy weight on his feet and sat on the ground with a soft body.
The little girl's movents were rather sophisticated and swift. When she got off the stone table, she had already removed the storage ring from Xiang Nan's hand. Then, a boy and a woman and two children drilled into a hole in the wall and disappeared.
Xiang Nan quickly circulated the Haotian Chun Yuan Technique in his body, clearing away the remaining toxins in his body in an instant and chasing after him closely.
However, outside the cave was the street, and at a glance, there was a vast sea of people! Where can I find that pair of children?
The key point was that the two children didn't have a martial arts realm, and it was impossible for Xiang Nan to track their Yuan Qi fluctuations.
Touching his empty fingers, Xiang Nan cursed himself for being too careless, but he wasn't particularly worried.
First, after a martial artist wears a storage ring, they need to drop blood to recognize the owner. Unless the owner personally opens the storage ring, or the owner hands over the outstanding seal of the storage ring to soone else, other people will not be able to open the storage ring after obtaining it.
Secondly, if those two children were just ordinary thieves, they would really be hard to find, but the poison in their hands was definitely not ordinary! A child with such a thing must have a huge gang of thieves behind him.
Anyway, let's go to the auction house first. Fortunately, when he was checking the mission scroll earlier, he casually stuffed it into his arms. As long as there were more scrolls, it would be fine.
The auction house that issued the Hundred Beast Cliff Quest was called the Hongyun Pavilion. To be honest, this auction house was not big, and it could be considered rather shabby in Baishou City.
When Xiang Nan arrived here, there were three auction halls in the Hongyun Pavilion.
"Hello, I'm here for a mission." Xiang Nan found the head of the auction house and displayed the mission scroll.
"Oh? So it's a friend from the sect." The person in charge of the auction house imdiately greeted Xiang Nan Duan politely and poured so water for him.
This mission was different from the one Xiang Nan did last ti. Last ti, it was a mission issued directly by the Sunset Moon City military, so Sun Chun knew that Xiang Nan was a mber of the Haoran Sect.
However, the missions issued by ordinary people or clans were directly distributed to the official institutions, which then sent them to the various sects.
Therefore, there was an official in between, and the person in charge of the auction house did not know which sect Xiang Nan belonged to.
"Do you want the snake eggs of the Blazing Fire Python? There are many martial artists here. As long as you give them so benefits, there will be a large number of people helping you get them. Why are you looking for help from the sect?"
"Furthermore, you are an auction house. Could it be that you can't find such a snake egg?" Xiang Nan asked as he held the teacup in his hand.
The person in charge nodded, "Sigh, it's a long story …"
The person in charge of the Hongyun Pavilion had an only child. For so reason, he was bitten by a Purple Scaled Scarlet Eyed Snake. This snake venom was extrely cold, and only the eggs of the Blazing Fire Python could detoxify it.
However, the snake egg of the Blazing Fire Python only had this kind of function. Other than that, it was worthless. In addition, the Blazing Fire Python had a cruel nature and strong strength. Basically, no one would eat enough of it to steal the snake egg.
Therefore, even though the auction house auctioned the treasures of the Five Flowers Sect every day, there was no Fire Snake Egg.
The person in charge had hired so idle martial artists to steal the eggs so ti ago. As a result, those people didn't co back because they weren't strong enough.
If a martial artist with a higher cultivation realm was hired, the Hongyun Pavilion would not be able to offer such a large commission, so they could only seek help from the governnt.
"Mm, so that's how it is." Xiang Nan took a sip of tea and said, "I can try it for you."
"But there's one more thing I need to ask you."
Then, Xiang Nan told the person in charge about the loss of his storage ring.
"Are you sure it's light red powder?" The person in charge's eyes lit up and said, "That's easy. Only a group of thieves in Baishou City know how to use this poison. Moreover, my relationship with the leader of the thieves is pretty good. I can help you get it back directly."
"This is the best." Xiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief.
Anyone who could open an auction house in one place would have so connections, especially an institution like the auction house, which would often help so underground gangs "sell their stolen goods". Therefore, what the owner of the auction house said still carried a bit of weight.
The person in charge was eager to save the girl and was eager for Xiang Nan to retrieve the storage ring, so he imdiately left with Xiang Nan without saying a word.
This group of thieves weren't very powerful. They were called the "Haoqing Guild", and their nas didn't quite correspond to what they had done.
The Haoqing Guild was located in the south of the city, and they arrived not far away.
When the person in charge of the auction house revealed his intention, the moustached Guild Leader imdiately burst into laughter and said, "So we stole the storage ring of little brother Xiang Nan. It was really a flood that rushed the Dragon King Temple."
"It doesn't matter. These are all small matters. Follow . I'll bring you guys to look for the two children."
The two children lived in a shabby house in the side yard, and there were quite a few thieves drinking and shouting in the yard.
As soon as they entered the room, what they saw in front of them stunned Xiang Nan and the others.
It was indeed the two children, a man and a woman, but at this mont, the two of them were already dead! It was a knife that pierced through their hearts and instantly killed them!
The eight-bearded Guild Leader was instantly shocked, "This … this … there's actually soone who can kill under our noses."
Xiang Nan hurriedly rushed forward and said in a deep voice, "Not long after they died, I'm afraid the ti of their death is less than a minute!"
The person in charge of the auction house said in shock, "Xiang Nan, did you have a grudge against soone? Otherwise, why would they chase after you here to kill people and steal your storage ring?"
"No, I just arrived at Hundred Beasts City today." Xiang Nan touched the little girl's sleeve and rolled out a round bead.
"Hawkeye?" Xiang Nan's pupils constricted and he turned around. He said angrily to the moustache, "How dare you! You even dare to steal the Eagle's Eye!"
The eight-bearded captain was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and waved his hand in panic, "No, no, give a hundred guts, I don't dare to steal this kind of thing …"
Xiang Nan held the Eagle Eye in his hand and his heart slowly grew heavy.
This seemingly petty thieving matter seed to have beco complicated.
Xiang Nan had a strange feeling, as if he had fallen into an invisible net.
However, Xiang Nan couldn't figure out who was targeting him and why he was targeting him.
"Xiang Nan, you have to believe him." The person in charge of the auction house also pleaded for rcy on behalf of the eight-bearded captain, "Even if he dares to steal sothing like the Eagle Eye, no one would dare to buy it! Even my auction house would not dare to accept the Eagle Eye."
