Dragon's Origin

A dead soldier is never alone. One person's action is only to create a better opportunity for another, sacrificing their life to pave the way for their comrade.

As the chisel pierced Wang Sheng's ribs, Wang Sheng's fist also landed on the attacker's head. Bang! The craftsman who had just been asking questions had his head instantly turned into a broken watermelon, exploding on the spot.

The old Taoist priest was nearly driven mad. Right under his nose, less than three feet away, Wang Sheng was assassinated twice in a row. This was unbearable!

However, both assassins were already dead. Even if the old Taoist priest wanted to settle accounts, he didn't know who to turn to. He could only angrily scan the surroundings, looking for anyone else suspicious.

The commotion here had long been noticed. But, as the saying goes, no one is a fool. How could anyone jump out at this time and let the old Taoist priest vent his anger? Everyone watched from a distance, afraid to step forward.

Wang Sheng struggled to pull the chisel out of his ribs. The old Taoist priest watched all this with trepidation until he noticed that the chisel was not stained with blood, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" Even though he didn't see blood, the old Taoist priest still asked with concern.

"I'm fine!" Wang Sheng replied with a grim face, then began to carefully examine the chisel.

His protective suit was made of the skin of an eighth-level demon beast! How could it be so fragile as to be pierced so easily by a chisel that didn't look very sharp? And not just this one, but the previous one as well. It was as if Wang Sheng's protective suit had no effect at all.

"Your protective suit must have been tampered with!" The old Taoist priest, being old and experienced, knew what Wang Sheng was thinking when he saw him examining the chisel. He explained in a deep voice, "There are formations on the chisel. Once activated, they will pierce through your protective suit upon contact."

Wang Sheng accepted the old Taoist priest's explanation. Whether it was the cut on his chest or the one on his ribs, the edges had become unusually brittle. It was impossible for the strength to be so different after being pierced. The old Taoist priest's explanation was the only one that made sense.

The items were sent by the Feng family, which meant that the Feng family could not escape responsibility. But everyone understood that the Feng family had no reason to kill Wang Sheng at this time. Only the Song family would do such a thing. Could it be that the Feng family and the Song family were connected?

No one knew the specific details of the entanglement. However, both Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest knew that this was definitely not the last assassination attempt.

"Are you really alright?" Looking at the two small holes in Wang Sheng's protective suit, the old Taoist priest frowned. Even though Wang Sheng was wearing the same protective underwear underneath, since the other party had already anticipated this, how could they not have pierced through?

"I'm fine!" Wang Sheng was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, he had been wearing his liquid bulletproof vest all along. Not only did it prevent the dead soldiers' pointed chisels from piercing through, but it also dispersed the force of the impact. Otherwise, the consequences would have been hard to say.

The attacking spiritual energy was quickly swallowed by the nascent soul. Apart from feeling slightly painful and a little stuffy from the two刺击, Wang Sheng did not suffer any substantial damage.

After such an incident, the manager of Yu Baozhai quickly came forward and organized the craftsmen to work in another place further away from Wang Sheng. The guards checked the surroundings, and almost every craftsman was searched before things were barely settled down.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest didn't bother with these matters. They first returned to their stone rooms to discuss some things. However, Wang Sheng frowned as soon as he entered. Similarly, the old Taoist priest quickly retreated after taking a look into his own stone room.

Someone had been in both of their stone rooms. It must have been during the chaos just now. The reason they could tell at a glance was because Wang Sheng found that the hair he had placed at the door was gone.

Wang Sheng had also taught this simple trick to the old Taoist priest, so the old Taoist priest also discovered that someone had been in his stone room.

There was no one inside now, that was for sure. But what were those people doing in Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest's stone rooms?

Everyone's belongings were basically in their own storage rings. At most, there would be a bed, bedding, and pillows in the stone room. Were these things worth stealing?

"I'll go take a look!" Wang Sheng said to the old Taoist priest, and put on his goggles and hard mask before entering the stone room. Although the old Taoist priest was called a guard, he was definitely not as proficient in the methods of demons and monsters as Wang Sheng. He wouldn't be able to find anything even if he investigated.

The old Taoist priest had no objections. However, when he saw Wang Sheng's goggles and hard mask, he almost cried out. Wang Sheng was indeed Wang Sheng, still keeping a trick up his sleeve even after bringing people into the Thousand Desolation Ground. No one had ever seen his goggles and mask before.

Entering the room, Wang Sheng first scanned for any obvious flaws. Basically, there was nothing special in the empty stone room. Then Wang Sheng's attention began to focus on the bed and the practice mat.

Someone had touched the pillow, very slight traces, but definitely touched. He picked it up, found nothing unusual, turned it over and looked carefully. There was a place where the stitches were a little different. Gently tearing it open, Wang Sheng immediately found that tiny bit of residual shiny liquid.

Mercury, liquid mercury. Someone had poured a little liquid mercury into his pillow. There was a cushion on the practice mat, and under Wang Sheng's inspection, he also found mercury poured inside the cushion.

After a more careful inspection, there were a few small holes chiseled out under the toilet in the bathroom, all filled with mercury. The old Taoist priest's room was also not spared, with similar places filled with mercury.

There was less mercury in the pillow, probably to avoid the weight being abnormal and being discovered. The mercury in the cushion and bathroom added up to at least three taels.

Liquid mercury can evaporate into mercury vapor at room temperature, which is colorless, odorless, and highly toxic. If one is not careful, one could suffer acute mercury poisoning after sleeping in it overnight.

Good move! Wang Sheng saw that Song Hongde had been suffering from several kinds of heavy metal poisoning for many years. Song Hongde's dead soldiers immediately retaliated against Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest with acute mercury poisoning. Very good, very powerful!

"Old Taoist, what do you think their purpose is?" Wang Sheng asked the old Taoist priest, "At this time, killing me, can it prevent the families from completing this camp? Could it be that they just want to kill me to vent their anger?"

"It's not that simple!" The old Taoist priest also shook his head, "The Song family is definitely not happy to see this camp built. There must be some other way to destroy the camp."

"Water source!" Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest pondered for a while, and suddenly said their guesses at the same time.
