Crossing Douluo's Book of Life and Death

Chapter 278
Looking at the Jumen Country team that was drifting away, Huo Ping was a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, should we..."

Tang Yuan was taken aback: "What should I do?"

He thought that what Huo Ping meant was to stop this team, and then swallow the 3-year-old soul bone himself and others, without leaving it for Qi Xiu and Kassid to snatch it.

But he misunderstood Huo Ping.

These 3-year-old soul bones are treasures that the Star Luo Empire's subsidiary Jumen Kingdom paid tribute to the White Tiger Emperor. Not to mention the current business cooperation between Tianbao Tower and the Star Luo Empire, it is the latest alliance to fight against the Spirit Hall. Huo Ping will not make a move.

Even if Huo Ping covets these 3-year soul bones... After all, who wouldn't covet them?Among the five people in ambush now, except for Tang Yuan who can't fuse soul bones because of his master's order, Huo Ping, Pu Jin, and Yi Yun don't even have half a soul bone on them.

Although Yu Tianheng had a piece, which was given to him by Tang Yuan after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, but who would think too many soul bones?
However, Yu Tianheng would not disturb Tang Yuan's plan just for a 3-year-old soul bone. The successor of the Shang Sanzong still has such vision.

As for Pujin and Yiyun, their main purpose is revenge. For revenge, they can risk their lives. Now that Tang Yuan can help them kill their enemies, they will naturally not put the cart before the horse and want to seize the treasure.

Huo Ping was different. Of course he wanted this soul bone, but he didn't have the courage. When the Star Luo Empire found out, he couldn't stay in Tianbao Tower and Necromancer Villa any longer.

A great future for a 3-year soul bone... Well, it’s a matter of opinion.

What Huo Ping thought in his heart was to stop the Jumen Kingdom team and prevent them from moving forward, so that they would not encounter the traps set up by Qi Xiu, the Lord of Feiyun City, and Casside, the Lord of the Wuhun Branch. .

In this way, Tang Yuan would not take risks to kill people.

He knew Tang Yuan's plan clearly, but he still didn't want Tang Yuan to be harmed in his jurisdiction, otherwise his future would be ruined.

So he made up his mind and said to Tang Yuan: "Young master, let's stop them and let them not go any further. Wouldn't it be better to take a detour?"

Tang Yuan shook his head and smiled, knowing that he was wrong about Huo Ping, so he said: "It's useless, whether people believe what we said is a matter of opinion, and they transported the soul bones along the way. It's all confidential, how do we know, why are we waiting for them here, how do you explain?"

Hearing Tang Yuan's series of questions, Huo Ping was terrified, and couldn't find a word to answer for a while: "This..."

Tang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. The audience is almost here. If the show doesn't start, it will be boring. Wait a minute, the master is still behind."

Huo Ping was taken aback: "Master?"

He didn't know that in the group of nine people passing by him, none of them carried a soul bone, and none of them was of the Contra level.

Tang Yuan nodded and did not continue.

At this time, although Huo Ping was puzzled, seeing Tang Yuan's mental vigilance, he stopped talking.

After about half a stick of incense, a figure suddenly appeared from the mountain path.

Tang Yuan's eyes lit up, and it really came!

The spiritual power spread out, and Tang Yuan detected it. As he expected, the person who appeared this time was full of powerful soul power of the Contra level.

Not running!
That Contra's mental strength was much weaker, and he couldn't feel Tang Yuan's investigation at all. He concealed his body all the way, dodged left and right, and walked towards the team just now with a vigilant expression.

"Little Lord……"

Huo Ping's reaction was slower than Tang Yuan's. When he saw this Contra, he was startled by Tang Yuan's unpredictability, and secretly sighed that the team transporting the soul bones in the giant gate country was so careful.

However, even so, they still couldn't escape the traps of Qi Xiu and Kassid.

Tang Yuan immediately made a "silence" gesture for him, and turned to stare at him.

When Huo Ping was stared at like this, he closed his mouth resentfully, not daring to make a sound.

Although the mental strength of a Contra-level powerhouse is not as good as Tang Yuan's, they are not something that Huo Ping can challenge. He can detect any small movement.

Although Tang Yuan didn't take this Contra seriously, it was easy to startle the snake and make the original plan shattered.

If the Jumen Kingdom team doesn't get involved in Qi Xiu and Kassid's calculations, then Tang Yuan has no reason to kill Qi Xiu. After all, if he doesn't show his tail, he is still a member of the Star Luo Empire, and Tang Yuan can't destroy the alliance. .

Moreover, because of this, Kassid's side will also become more vigilant, so they are always on guard, and it is even more difficult for Tang Yuan to strike.

Although the Contra was level 81, Huo Ping's movement just now caught his attention, and he looked towards the hiding place of Tang Yuan and the others.

Tang Yuan was startled, did he still get discovered?
Without thinking too much, Tang Yuan released a bird soul beast that he had prepared long ago. The bird soul beast had only been cultivated for more than ten years. Once released by Tang Yuan, he immediately became free, and his flapping wings fluttered violently. , and flew away.

"It turned out to be a bird..."

That Contra didn't think much about it, his nervous mind made him very vigilant, but his logic was much less logical.

Without too much investigation, he walked forward quickly, just in the direction of chasing the nine-person team in front, towards Feiyun City.

After he walked away, Tang Yuan and others came out from their hiding places.

Seeing Tang Yuan's frowning look, Huo Ping was a little strange, and asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

In his mind, Tianbaolou's information allowed them to rush ahead of Qi Xiu and Kassid, and they were already one step ahead. Moreover, the Jumen Kingdom's team could not hide under Tang Yuan's "sight of magic". Tang Yuan figured out all the routines.

Why is Tang Yuan still looking sad?
Hearing Huo Ping's question, Tang Yuan frowned, and said, "I think maybe my thinking is wrong."

This sentence, including Yu Tianheng, Pu Jin and Yiyun, together with Huo Ping, thought of Tang Yuan.

wrong?

where is wrong?

Huo Ping asked: "The young master means..."

Tang Yuan recalled that just now, he used his mental power to check the Contra, and the level of the soul power was right, and the distance and route from the Nine-man Giant Gate Kingdom team were also right, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Tang Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't you think there is something wrong with that Contra?"

Huo Ping, Yu Tianheng, Pu Jin and Yiyun looked at each other and shook their heads.

Tang Yuan had no choice but to think for himself.

After thinking silently for a while, Tang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise: "Yes! I know!"

Everyone looked at Tang Yuan.

Know what?

Tang Yuan's eyes widened, and said: "That Contra also carried a box on his back, but that box has no soul power fluctuations!"

Yu Tianheng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "You mean...he doesn't have that soul bone either?"

Tang Yuan shook his head, and said: "There are two possibilities, one is that the soul bone is in a box that can conceal the breath of soul power."

Yu Tianheng was about to speak, but Huo Ping was startled and said: "Ah! That must be it!"

Tang Yuan glanced at Huo Ping and said, "Why are you so anxious, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Huo Ping scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Yu Tianheng asked at this time: "Then...Xiaoqi, another possibility is..."

Tang Yuan's eyes shot out: "I think... this possibility is the greatest! That is, killing people and taking bones!"

"Murder and bone removal?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Tang Yuan nodded, and said: "It is very possible that this spirit bone is neither in the box transported by the nine people before, nor in the box of the Contra just now. These two boxes are all blindfolds. The real soul bone is probably in a certain person's body and has been absorbed! After they arrive at the Star Luo Empire, they will be able to take out the soul bone from the living person!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"But...how could someone sacrifice his life just to transport a soul bone?"

Yu Tianheng didn't quite believe this possibility, so he blurted out and asked.

He grew up in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family since he was a child, and he hasn't been exposed to much suffering in the world of mortals. Naturally, he couldn't understand it. Even after the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was destroyed and let him fall from heaven to hell, he only had hatred in his heart. The understanding of the human heart is still not deep enough.

Tang Yuan sighed, and said: "I also think it's unlikely, but I heard from Uncle Ghost that every power with a certain power cultivates a kind of slayer, in order to complete the task, you can dedicate yourself The kind of life, although the Jumen country is only a small country, but no matter how you say it, it is still a country, there will definitely be dead men, and they sacrificed their lives for this mission, but the life of the family or family members is completely different from now on. , it's also worth it."

After listening, Yutian was speechless for a long time, but he couldn't calm down in the silence.

At this time, Huo Ping spoke again "inappropriately": "But young master... I still think the first possibility you mentioned is more likely..."

Tang Yuan glanced at him, what tongue twister did he say?

Then Tang Yuan said again: "It's not impossible, I just said that the second possibility is more likely, and treasures that can conceal the breath of soul power are so rare, they can catch up with a 3-year-old soul bone, and their value is even higher. Gao, do you think Jumen will be willing to do so? Besides, if there is such a thing, why would that Contra bother? Get out of the way and carry another one on his back. If someone robs Dao, wouldn’t he have to do the same thing? Once he makes a move , don’t you have to expose it too?”

This series of "deadly questioning" made Huo Ping speechless to refute.

Indeed, what Tang Yuan said made sense.

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan made up his mind and said to Huo Ping: "You go back to Tianbao Tower immediately."

Huo Ping was taken aback, and asked, "Huh? Back to Tianbao Tower? What's the matter, young master?"
