Finally, when the sun set, the four of them found a relay station (Datong Shop) that was still working.
"Second Young Master, as you expected, we really found it!”
"Alright, stop nagging. Let's go in and inquire about the specific information. There are only so many people left in this town. It's strange no matter how you look at it.”
"Lord Eight, you're good at gathering information. I'll leave this matter to you.”
"Young master Xiao Er, just wait and see. With this Dao Master stepping out, a little bit of information will definitely be easily obtained.”
Seeing Lord Myna's confident look, Lord Zeng couldn't help but remind him,"
"Master Eight, are you sure you want to go in? "We don't know what's going on inside or who's inside. If anything happens, we might not be able to save them in time.”
"Lord Zeng, don't worry. I've done this kind of thing many times with Lord Xiao Er before, so I'm very familiar with the process.”
Lord Zeng was surprised by Lord Myna's words because he had never seen Lord Myna so brave. He was even more curious about this little waiter of Sand City.
It was normal for Lord Zeng to not know Zhou Tong's strength. Although they were both members of the Nine Gates of Sand City, the two of them had never fought together. He had only heard stories about Zhou Tong in Sand City from others.
However, he still understood the Eighth Master's character. Seeing how confident the Eighth Master was, it seemed that he might be able to gain some other gains by calling Zhou Tong along this time.
Lord Eight took the lead, with Zhou Tong and the other two following closely behind. Lord Zeng and the adjutant had never experienced such a scene before.
As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they began to look around as if they were looking for something. In short, it was unnatural.
As for Zhou Tong, he had worked with Lord Eight many times and was extremely familiar with each other's methods.
Lord Eight went forward to scout for information, while Zhou Tong followed the others to get closer, observing their words and actions.
It would be fine if Lord Eight succeeded in getting the information they needed, but if he failed, Zhou Tong could only choose to target those who were alone, replacing their identities with human skin masks and searching for new clues.
Of course, they would not kill them. At most, they would restrict their movements, tie them up, and throw them in a corner. After finding suitable information, they would be released.
This time, it went very smoothly and he even got a free meal.
The people here made a living in the mine. However, the mine collapsed some time ago, and the so-called merchants left one by one.
In order not to starve, the people in the town also fled bit by bit. Only a few people were left to find some treasures near the mine and sell them in the city.
Just as Lord Myna was about to get more information out of him, the adjutant asked about the mine directly.
Zhou Tong nudged Lord Zeng with his elbow and said in a low voice.
"Lord Zeng, this adjutant of yours isn't from your family, right? Why are you so innocent?"
"Shh, don't ask me. I don't know either.”
Originally, it had been nothing much. At worst, his plan to get information would be foiled, but after Zhou Tong's question, Lord Zeng's face instantly turned warm.
"Adjutant, it's true. In this era, there aren't many people as naive as you.”
After seeing those people leave, Master Eight immediately began to tease Deputy Zhang.
"Alright, Master Eight, stop teasing Deputy Zhang. However, this also confirmed one thing. There must be something wrong with the people here.”
Adjutant Zhang threw Zhou Tong a grateful expression, thanking Zhou Tong for helping him out of the predicament.
"Lord Zeng, it's already late. If we don't sleep, they won't take action.”
Zhou Tong gave Lord Myna a look, and Lord Myna, who had received the message, immediately put on an act.
"Aiyo, it's been a long day. Masters, rest early. We still have to go to other provinces to take refuge tomorrow!”
"Isn't that so? It's all your fault, you damn fortune-teller. You brought me here. What kind of lousy place is this? Even if you have money, you can't buy food.”
Perhaps it was because the two of them were relatively loud, but soon, a person came out of the house and said to them in a low voice,
"It's time to sleep. Don't disturb others 'sleep. We still have work to do tomorrow.”
"Alright, little brother. We won't disturb you. We're just complaining. We'll go to bed now.”
Zhou Tong gestured to the person who had told them to keep their voices down, indicating that they should go to sleep, then led the three of them to a room to rest.
The sky had just brightened when Zhou Tong heard the sound of someone waking up. His movements were incomparably swift, as if he had undergone training.
Apart from Lord Myna, Lord Zeng and Deputy Zhang were all awake.
"Eighth Master, get up. I really have to hand it to you. You can even sleep in this place.”
The four of them immediately got up from the bed and followed the three of them. Perhaps it was because they had made a fool of themselves yesterday, Adjutant Zhang could not wait to show off.
Zhou Tong pulled him back.
"Adjutant, wait a little longer. We'll make our move after we leave the town.”
"Attacking now is equivalent to alerting the enemy.”
Zhou Tong's group of four followed behind them, following the three of them to the vicinity of the mine. It was autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night was great. At dawn, a faint mist appeared in the mountains.
Seeing that the group in front of him was about to disappear into the fog, Zhou Tong pulled out six iron eggs from his pocket and threw them directly at the joints of the three men's legs.
The three of them were struck to their knees by the sudden attack. Zhou Tong and the others had also caught up.
Just as they were about to ask for clues, the three of them bit the poison sac hidden in their mouths and died instantly.
"Lord Zeng, the poison was hidden behind their teeth.”
After examining the body, the adjutant said to Lord Zeng,"
"Lord Zeng, what should we do next? The only clue is gone."
"It didn't break, but the range is a bit large. The direction that the three of them are heading towards is the direction of the mine, which means that there must be something wrong with the mine.”
"Young master Xiao Er is right. Even if we capture this kind of person alive, we won't be able to get anything out of him.”
"Master Eight, can you reserve a seat?”
Master Eight took out the compass and prepared to calculate the location of this place according to the Qimen Dunjia technique. However, the compass failed and could not determine the location at all.
"Lord Zeng, the compass is out of order. However, there is a light in front and a back. Although there is no water here, I have read the records of Sand City. There used to be a stream here, but it dried up later.”
"However, all the rivers and mountains in the world are similar to humans. Humans and mountains have their own appearances. If a person is talented, his appearance will definitely be strange.”
"It's the same on the mountain. The Kindness Sect's layout is strange, and fog will surround it all year round. When I came out, I was wondering why the fog here was so thick.”
"I'm finally sure. Lord Zeng, Lord Xiao Er, there must be a big acupoint here."
"Well, let's not talk about whether there are acupoints or not, but there are few people here, and the place is hidden. I suspect that there are Japanese people doing secret experiments here.”
"Lord Zeng, I also suspect that there are Japanese people doing secret experiments here.”
When Lord Myna had heard Lord Zeng's words, he had been baffled, but when he heard Zhou Tong say that the Japanese were conducting secret experiments, it was Lord Myna's turn to be curious.
"Regardless of whether there is a tomb here or if there are Japanese doing secret experiments, there must be something wrong with this mine.”
"Master Eight, you should know that this mine should be the Huo family's territory, right?”
After Zhou Tong's explanation, Lord Eight finally came to a realization and gave Zhou Tong a thumbs up.
