Beauty and the Bodyguard

7174 Chapter 7172-

When the unlucky fellow picked up the short knife, he had more or less noticed it. Although he didn’t see it clearly, he knew something.

Huang SI’s face turned ashen. It was actually because of a broken knife?

If that unlucky guy hadn’t died, Huang si would have killed him by now!

The people who had died before also had weapons. Even if they were not suitable, it was not impossible to make do with it, right? Why did he come here to pick up the short knife? He really deserved to die!

However, Huang si couldn’t say these words no matter what. He couldn’t vent the anger in his heart, so his expression was as ugly as it could be.

The body on the ground quickly shriveled and withered, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, from a normal person to a dry corpse. Then, a dark and transparent centipede showed its head slightly, but quickly retracted.

Everyone who saw it took a few steps back subconsciously, afraid that they would become the next dried corpse!

Huang si really wanted to kill the centipede, but he was afraid that something else might happen. He stomped his foot and shouted,””Let’s go!”

They had already lost their men. They were here for the treasures in the green Devil divine tomb. It was impossible for them to be entangled with a centipede. If a few more people died, Huang si didn’t know how much authority he would have left.

“Is this how you Scout? I’ve lost another person, who’s going to pay for this?”

Huang si couldn’t take it anymore and decided to vent his anger on Lin Yi.

“Ha … You mean that I have to go through all the places and not let any living things exist?”

Lin Yi laughed coldly-he wouldn’t let people like that get away with it. “Huang si, let me ask you now, who do you want to blame for this?”

Huang Si was suddenly speechless, and he felt even more depressed!

Lin Yi and black wildflower might only be two people, but Lin Yi had already shown his power. With Huang SI’s current situation, it wasn’t a good idea to get on Lin Yi’s bad side …

If it was possible, he should try to get on Lin Yi’s good side, and so Huang si didn’t know what to say to Lin Yi’s question.

“Alright, alright. It was just an accident. Everyone, please speak less!”

Bai sanzhu rolled her eyes and tried to smooth things over again. As for whether or not she was trying to curry favor with Lin Yi, that was unknown. “We’re all in the same boat. Let’s keep going!”

Lin Yi hmphed and ignored them. He gestured for black wildflower to follow him and continued walking.

Huang si and Wen qiniang’s expressions weren’t too good, but they could only suppress their dissatisfaction. They brought their men and followed behind Lin Yi, warning them not to touch anything else!

With the lesson learned, the rest of the people naturally didn’t dare to move around. They all followed Lin Yi obediently. Some even followed Lin Yi’s footholds closely after careful observation, afraid that they would lose their lives if they made a wrong step.

With that, nothing else happened in the stairway. The group quickly came to the bottom and saw a huge stone door at the end of the passage. In front of the stone door, there were two small stone rooms on the rock walls on both sides of the passage.

There was a row of wooden shelves in each of the rooms, with many items on them. Lin Yi didn’t think they were valuable, but Huang si, Bai sanzhu, and the others ‘eyes lit up when they saw them. They couldn’t wait to pounce on them and collect them.

Even black wildflower was no exception-he was very eager to try Lin Yi out.

“Zhong da, when you came down just now, did you go in?”

Bai sanzhu calmed himself down and turned to Lin Yi as if nothing had happened,””I’m not suspecting you, but there are a lot of empty spaces on the shelves inside …”

“Ha … Isn’t that suspicious of me?”

Lin Yi smiled coldly, his face full of disdain.”This young master doesn’t even care about these things!”

Bai sanzhu paused, remembering what black wildflower had just said. He said that Lin Yi had a strong background, and it seemed that he was quite powerful!

“Old Bai was just asking you a question. What are you so arrogant for?!”

Wen qiniang glared at him and sneered,”you came down alone just now. There are no doors in the two stone rooms, and there are so many empty spaces on the shelves. It’s not strange that you took a few things. What’s wrong with asking you?” And he didn’t even take a fancy to it? I’m afraid that you’ve already kept all that you’re interested in, right?”

“Which eye of yours saw that? If you’re stupid, then be good and don’t speak. I’m afraid stupidity is contagious!”

Black wildflower immediately retorted. She and Lin Yi were in the same boat now, or rather, she needed Lin Yi’s protection. Naturally, she would be extra protective of him,”Take a good look. As long as you’re not completely blind, you should be able to see that there’s a lot of dust on the floor and the shelves. If someone went in or took something away, do you think there would be no trace?”

Wen qiniang was speechless, because what the black wildflower said made sense, and she had seen that it was true. Whether it was the dust on the stone room’s floor or the shelves, they were all intact without any traces.

The dust on the ground was still fine, as experts had the ability to not leave any traces, but the shelf was not. As long as something was originally taken away, there would definitely be traces!

“Hahaha, everyone, stop talking. I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have doubted Zhong da. It’s all my fault!”

Once again, Bai sanzhu stepped forward to smooth things over, and even took the blame for his own mistakes.””Brother Zhong da, I’m sorry! Please forgive me this time, I promise there won’t be a next time!”

Lin Yi curled his lips. Bai sanzhu made it sound nice, but only a ghost would believe that there wouldn’t be a next time!

However, it didn’t matter. He wasn’t interested in the thoughts of such a small figure.

“Alright, everyone’s quite busy, so let’s cut to the chase. Now, how do you plan to distribute the things in these two stone rooms?”

Lin Yi waved his hand and glanced at Bai sanzhu and the others,””Are we going to do it according to what we’ve agreed on before, or are there other things to pay attention to?”

“This … In my opinion, it’s not easy to distribute the items in the stone rooms. Moreover, this is the first harvest after entering the green demonic god tomb. Why don’t we try our luck and compete in speed? whoever gets it first will get it. After we enter the green demonic god tomb, we’ll do as we’ve agreed. What do you think?”

Bai sanzhu held his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he said with a smile,””In any case, brother Zhong da doesn’t have much interest in these goods, so why don’t we let these little ones try their luck? what do you guys think?”

The items on the shelves on both sides of the room were items that could be used directly in battle and increase damage. Bai sanzhu didn’t want Lin Yi and black wildflower to get them, so he suggested this.
