Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

At night, the long-future mission rang in Qin Yuchen’s mind:

[Ding, please host follow the foreign mercenaries to find the corpse pill in the tomb and destroy it]

[Ding, please host follow the foreign mercenaries to find the corpse pill in the tomb and destroy it]

[Ding, please host...]

Qin Yuchen opened his eyes and asked in his mind: "What is the Corpse Pill?"

[In lay terms, it is the elixir of immortality studied by ancient emperors, but this corpse pill is a failure. Eating it will turn people into monsters. 】

"So this is what these mercenaries are looking for?"

【Yes, big,】

"Ha, looking for immortality in a tomb?" Tan Yuchen laughed, "Some people can think of it."

[There are still many people seeking immortality, as you will learn later. Then go to bed early, I want to sleep too. 】

"Ah."

Nothing in the night

In the early morning, Alvar's men called Qin Yuchen and the others and told them to set off in an hour.

It was the first time for Tan Yuchen to go to the tomb, so he was well prepared. In his opinion, he had to bring everything he could. He wouldn't ask 007 what to bring when there were people around, so he could only rely on a backpack. Tan Yuchen put the black knife on his back and put the dagger on his waist. He put on his jacket and zipped it all the way up, then sat aside and watched the blind man working alone.

Zhang Qiling didn't know where he went early in the morning. Except that the gray knife was not there, other things were still in their original places.

The black blind man kept talking non-stop last night and didn't pack his things at all. Now he was stuffing them into his bag in a leisurely manner.

"Little boss, why don't you help me, the blind man?"

"No."

"Hey, poor Blind Blind, no one loves him~" Hei Xiazi hummed.

Tan Yuchen thought of joking, and said, "I can help you, but I'll pay a hundred for each one. How about that?"

The blind man's face froze, and he waved his hands quickly: "Why bother the little boss? I can do this kind of thing myself."

Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something.

Zhang Qiling just came back from outside when it was time to set off. The two of them didn't ask him where he was going. Hei Xiazi just took the backpack and handed it to Zhang Qiling, and then the three of them went out together.

Only fifteen people came out of Alvar this time. Alvar did not intend to go, but Mr. Xu went with him.

The leader was a bearded man who looked to be in his thirties, with a strong build and half a head taller than the blind man.

The bearded man saw the disdain on the faces of Tan Yuchen and the others, and snorted softly as he passed by them.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling had no expressions on their faces, but the black blind man kindly mentioned it when he saw Mr. Xu passing by.

"Mr. Xu, please pay attention to your health on the road."

Mr. Xu straightened his clothes and turned a deaf ear to the blind man's words.

"The blind man is gone." Tan Yuchen shouted from the front.

"Just come~"

★

The group of people walked into the depths of the jungle, with Bearded Men leading the way, Mr. Xu walking in the middle, and Tan Yuchen and the others behind.

Zhang Qiling was particularly vigilant about the surrounding environment, and Qin Yuchen also looked around. The black blind man was as careless as usual.

This forest is very large. The trees beside the path are very tall, with many branches and dense leaves, covering the sky. The forest is full of chirping birds, and sometimes a rabbit or squirrel will suddenly emerge.

There is no danger at the moment. Qin Yuchen relaxed a little. He patted Zhang Qiling's arm and said, "We don't need to be so vigilant. As long as there is nothing wrong with the three of us, it will be fine."

Zhang Qiling tilted his head in confusion and looked at Tan Yuchen.

Qin Yuchen said "Ah": "It's nothing."

"Pfft, what the little boss means is that these people will die as soon as they die. They can't be so dedicated." The black blind man had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth at some point and explained for Qin Yuchen, "You mute, you have to change your love for saving people." Not everyone is worth saving due to their faults.”

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes.

"That's just him." Hei Xiazi shrugged helplessly.

Tan Yuchen stared at Zhang Qiling for a long time, and finally said: "It is your own business to be strong. There is no need to save those who are holding you back again and again."

"..." Zhang Qiling blinked and frowned as if he was lost in thought.

Tan Yuchen complained in his heart that he seemed to be meddling in other people's own business. He shouldn't put his thoughts on others, so he had to say, "I'm talking about myself."

"Okay." Zhang Qiling and Tan Yuchen spoke together, and their "good" words were almost drowned out by Tan Yuchen's words.

Tan Yuchen didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?"

Zhang Qiling raised his eyes to look at Qin Yuchen and repeated: "Okay."

Qin Yuchen: "..."

The black blind man was confused when he heard this good word. He looked at Zhang Qiling from head to toe, stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Qiling's forehead, and said, "You don't have a fever?"

Zhang Qiling blinked a few times quickly, then lowered his eyes and ignored the two of them.

At this time, there was a sudden friction sound in the grass, and the three of them were alert for a moment.

The dozen or so people in front also noticed it and immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the grass.

Everyone just waited quietly, and the friction sound continued, sounding like a snake swimming on the ground.

Qin Yuchen pulled out the knife behind him, took a step forward and used the tip of the knife to clear away the grass.

Suddenly, a green vine shot out of the grass and attacked Tan Yuchen. The speed was so fast that only the afterimage could be seen. Tan Yuchen hurriedly blocked the front with his knife to resist the attack and took two steps back.

"What?" Hei Xiazi stretched out his hand to support Tan Yuchen and asked.

"It looks like a tree vine." Tan Yuchen clenched the black knife, his face a little smelly.

The black blind man shouted to Mr. Xu in front of him: "Tell them to pay attention. That thing looks like a vine and will probably attack from all directions."

As soon as Heixiazi finished speaking, more than a dozen green vines rushed out and attacked Heixiazi. Zhang Qiling quickly pulled Heixiazi away and cut off several of them with a knife. The green vines that were chopped off oozed green viscous substance and emitted The stench made all three of them frown.

Qin Yuchen also attacked. The group of foreigners were stunned for a moment. They reacted to the curses of the blind man and started shooting at Lu Teng.

The three of them cooperated in a tacit understanding. Each of them stood on one side, and the swords in their hands flew up, with the blind man in the middle.

The green vine seemed to have identified the three of them, cutting off one pile and another.

"I'm going, what's the matter?" Hei Xiazi cut off the stick that hit his face and asked, "Do you like me, Mr. Hei?"

"...Please shut up." Tan Yuchen rolled his eyes.

Without saying a word, Zhang Qiling sliced ​​open his left hand with a knife and threw it towards the green vine.

Lu Teng shrank back as if he encountered something scary. Zhang Qiling wiped blood on the sleeves of Tan Yuchen and Heixiazi, and whispered: "Let's go quickly."

The black blind man looked a little unhappy. He frowned and took Zhang Qiling's left hand and bandaged it casually. Tan Yuchen also subconsciously blocked the sight of those in front and said coldly: "Run."

There were too many green vines to kill them all, and they kept attacking as if they couldn't feel the pain.

Tan Yuchen and Heixiazi surrounded Zhang Qiling and ran forward with the group of foreigners.

After running for who knows how long, everyone came to a riverside. The green vines lingered for half a minute and then retreated.

Tan Yuchen pulled Zhang Qiling away from them, asked Zhang Qiling to sit down with his back to the person, and began to bandage them.

The black blind man was frustrated: "You are really mute, why are you spilling the blood of so many people?"

Zhang Qiling pursed her lips tightly and lowered her eyebrows, looking a little aggrieved.

"Okay, just be careful next time." Tan Yuchen tied the bandage and stood up, "What is that?"

"Parasite vine." Zhang Qiling rarely spoke.

Tan Yuchen was confused: "Huh? Is this what parasitic vines look like?"

"It's probably a failed experiment." Black Blind Man took over the words, "It looks like it grew up drinking blood, otherwise it wouldn't be able to catch someone and attack it."

Tan Yuchen thought of the immortality mentioned by 007, so he asked in his mind: "Experiment on immortality?"

[Yes, my dear, that green vine was specially raised by people thousands of years ago. In ancient times, a ruler collected the seeds of the vine, and then let the captives swallow them, and then made the people into medicine and waited for their internal organs. After they are all parasitized by parasitic vines, you can make elixirs. 】

[This vine is bloodthirsty, so it is particularly excited when encountering living creatures. 】

"Then why are you afraid of Zhang Qiling's blood?"

[Hmm... Zhang Qiling's blood is Qilin blood. Qilin blood can drive away evil spirits, and the green vine is also in the category of evil things. 】

"So why did you arrest the three of us?" Tan Yuchen said what was in his heart.

The blind man was also confused, but he obviously didn't think too much: "Maybe he really likes me, the blind man~"

Zhang Qiling frowned and glanced at him, then stood up and looked at the river.

"You're not a mute. What's that look like?" The black blind man was stared at in confusion.

Tan Yuchen looked at the two people walking away, feeling helpless.

007 raised the pine cone in his hand and looked at it again and again, wondering what else could be the reason. It could be that your host, your little Tong, has a troublesome thing.

Mr. Xu kept staring at the three of them. Three of them died on his side. These people were not as skilled as Heixiazi and the others and could not escape unscathed.

The bearded man said something in Mr. Xu's ear, and Mr. Xu rolled his eyes and walked towards Tan Yuchen.

"Young man, why did Mr. Zhang spill blood?"

Tan Yuchen looked down at him and smiled: "Things that like to drink blood certainly need to spread blood to distract themselves."

"Hahahaha." Mr. Xu laughed, "But the vine doesn't seem to like Mr. Zhang's blood."

Mr. Xu stretched out his hand to pat Tan Yuchen on the shoulder, but Tan Yuchen avoided it, and he didn't care: "Young man, don't look outside. After all, we are traveling together, so if there are good things, we should share them together."

"Mr. Xu was joking." Tan Yuchen smiled, but his eyes were surprisingly cold, "We are not traveling together all the way, we are together halfway."

"..." Mr. Xu choked. He cleared his throat and said, "Then I will spend money to buy it?"

"Pfft." Tan Yuchen laughed out loud. He sat on a stone beside him, crossed his legs, put his right hand on his knee, and said, "But I don't love money."

Mr. Xu: "Then what do you want? No matter what the conditions are, just tell me what kind of blood Mr. Zhang's blood is."

Tan Yuchen didn't want to get too entangled with him. There was no emotion in his words. He was as casual as asking about food: "Mr. Xu, don't waste your efforts. This is not your camp. If he suddenly dies in the middle of the road, I don't think Alvar will." Suspect."

Mr. Xu was stunned, glared at Tan Yuchen and snorted: "Are you threatening me?"

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, clasping his chin and looking at Mr. Xu: "Hmm? Maybe."
