Chapter 410 The Origin of the White Powder
Deng Yan subconsciously reached out to catch what Qiu Shao threw over, and when he looked closely, he found that it was actually an ingot of silver.
His angry expression suddenly turned into a smile, as if he had become a completely different person.
The speed of his expression changing simply shocked Ma Youcai and Wu Guang, who were also glaring at him. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
Money really is the most useful thing in the world.
"Okay, okay, we'll move aside right away. Please wait for a moment. This is the driest and flattest place in the cave. You will definitely have a good sleep here."
Ignoring the mocking look from the man named Wu Kai, what's wrong with just taking a look? It can't be used to make a living, so let him take a look, Deng Yan looked indifferent.
He put the silver in his hand into his pocket, bowed his body and replied to Qiu Shao respectfully, showing his flattery.
This person is really good at dealing with people. As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy.
You would have to go into the mountains and catch snakes several times to get this ingot of silver, but now people give it to you without even blinking an eye.
Even if the three of them didn't get anything from the forest this time, it wouldn't be a wasted trip, which was very good.
Seeing Wu Guang and Ma Youcai still standing aside without moving, Deng Yan said sternly: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make room for these brothers. Let's move over there."
As he said this, he started to move some firewood and his luggage.
Wu Kai was about to stop Deng Yan from taking the firewood, but was stopped by Qiu Shao's gaze.
No matter how unwilling Wu Guang and Ma Youcai were, they had no choice but to surrender. After all, if they relied on brute force to rob, the three of them would be no match for them.
After a while, two fires were lit in the small cave, and the two groups stayed in their own areas without interfering with each other.
"By the way, three big brothers, I haven't had time to ask you, are you villagers living nearby?"
Qiu Shao walked towards the area where Deng Yan and the others were staying and spoke in a friendly manner.
Deng Yan had a good impression of Qiu Shao because of his previous behavior. When faced with his question, he naturally responded politely, mixing in half-truths and half-sincerities, "No, we are snake catchers who make a living by catching snakes. We wander around the mountains and forests all year round. This is our first time to come to this mountain."
"I see. You guys are really amazing then."
Qiu Shao was not annoyed even though he didn't get any useful information.
If you don't live nearby, it would be much easier.
Qiu Shao twitched the corners of his lips slightly, shook his head at the people around him, and signaled them to stay put for the time being.
Originally, Deng Yan wanted to politely ask them why they came here dressed like that and what they did, but he immediately shut his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, he had been out there for so many years and he had some knowledge. Never ask questions that you shouldn't know, otherwise your life would be in danger.
"Don't worry, we will stay here for one night and leave at dawn tomorrow morning. We won't delay your work."
Feng Yan started to play dumb, his face looked normal and there was no flaw at all. It was obvious from the attire of the five of them that they were not ordinary people. Some of them carried knives and bows and arrows, and their things were all very neat. As for what they were going into the mountains for, it was none of his business.
"Oh, you know what we do?"
After hearing what he said, Qiu Shao became interested and asked in return.
"Isn't it just going into the mountains to hunt? It's very similar to what we are going to do, but it's probably difficult in this kind of weather."
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. After all, we don't want to return empty-handed. It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Qiu Shao did not deny Deng Yan's guess, but replied ambiguously, then turned and went back to the other side.
"You don't look like a good person at first glance."
Wu Guang muttered carefully, rubbing his chest which had become bruised, and did not look very happy towards the group of people.
Damn it, I got kicked for no reason, and I couldn’t fight back, and I had to share the same space with that person."
……
The bright fire in the cave was dimly lit, but in the Hsinchu Village, which was quite secluded and some distance away from here, it blended into the night and was shrouded in fog, so that the faint light seemed to have no presence at all.
The rain was still dripping.
In the room, a candle was burning, and an enlarged shadow of a slender figure was projected on the wall.
Xu Yuan was sitting at the table. He took out the thing that Gu Qinghan had sent over and carefully untied the knot on it.
In order to avoid smelling something bad, Xu Yuan subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. However, when he opened the cloth bag and saw that it was white powder, there was no strange smell. Xu Yuan was a little puzzled, but he thought that Gu Qinghan would not be so idle as to keep the powder for no reason.
The naked eye cannot identify what this substance is, so Xuyuan can only use Xiaojiu's detection function.
"Ding Dong, Master, the specific composition of the white powder has been detected, and the main raw material is the corpse of the Western Beetle."
Western beard worm?
How would it appear here?
This was the disgusting thing that caused mutations in humans in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's face became solemn and he wrapped the white powder tightly again.
"Xiaojiu, can you detect what stage this Xixu worm corpse is in? And why would it exist in this era? This doesn't make sense."
"Master, this is the most common stage. The conditions for evolution and mutation have not been met in this era. Xiaojiu can guarantee this."
"As for why they appear here, these bugs are parasitic on the Xixu tree. As long as this tree exists in this era, these Xixu bugs will inevitably appear."
Xu Yuan felt a headache instantly. Even in the ordinary stage, it was already exhausting enough. However, who would have thought of using this insect in this way? It stands to reason that they should not interfere with each other in the deep mountains and forests. This hand was stretching too far.
The scenes that happened in Li Junyong's elder brother's forgotten memory flashed vaguely in his mind, which were very similar to the symptoms of inhaling the powder of the corpse of the Western Beetle.
Maybe this is the root cause.
Damn it, I have already changed my time and space, how can I still encounter such a thing?
Xu Yuan secretly despised it in his heart, and this western beetle was not afraid of water or fire. Its only nemesis was the dung beetle and the "unique smell" it emitted.
Tsk, how could I think of such disgusting things so late at night? Xu Yuan put down the hot potato in his hand, stood up and stood in front of the window, letting the cold night wind pour into the room.
Making a wish requires getting rid of bad luck and sobering up. One should make the best of it. Since she knows the consequences caused by this insect, she must be on guard.
This news was also passed on to Gu Qinghan, asking them to pay more attention.
After a long time, when he felt the coolness, Xu Yuan closed the window, leaving a small gap, and turned around and got into bed.
