Chapter 288 Sheng Nan's Corpse

[Nine Heavens Soul-Snatching Formation] was activated, and the people in the formation wailed.

Even the Golden Immortal would be powerless at this moment.

Watching them turn into dust, the old man in black said proudly: "You saved us, we can tell you the specific whereabouts of the Golden Bell Treasure Tendon, but our Crazy Sand Adventure Group will not go with you."

"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. It takes at least 2,000 taels of gold to ask us to go on a mission."

Wang Tao pushed all the gold ingots collected from the counter without saying a word. The old man counted them and said excitedly: "I like such generous customers!"

Wang Tao added: "I will go into the vast marsh with you, you can lead the way."

Wang Tao would rather spend some money to save time. He would go in according to the so-called map, which would take at least three to five days.

With these adventure groups that have been walking in the vast marsh for many years leading the way, it will naturally be much smoother.

The old man in black took the money, wrote down the specific location of the golden bell and gave it to Wang Tao, and then led Wang Tao into the base of the Crazy Sand Adventure Group.

After Wang Tao paid the expedited fee, the adventure group arranged an experienced old hunter to lead the team. That afternoon, more than a dozen people led the camel team into the vast marsh.

The old hunter was full of wrinkles, and his face was invaded by wind and sand all year round, like an old dead tree that had been dehydrated for a long time.

The dry hands were almost only a layer of dark skin, and there was no fat on the body.

The journey was boring, and he led the adventure group to sing loud and sad songs together.

Walking through the windy and sandy valley, through the humid bathing marsh, and then going forward, the trees covered the sky. Even if Wang Tao could fly, the visibility was almost zero.

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It’s really useful. I rely on this to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

When I got here, the remains of the beasts were mixed with human bones.

Xiaolong poked his little head out and took a look, then covered his eyes with his two front paws.

He shouted: "Dad, the beasts here are the most ferocious, right?"

The old hunter thought Xiaolong was Wang Tao's child, and smiled gently and said: "The most ferocious here are people. Most people who make a living in the vast swamp die at the hands of people."

"A while ago, Qixia Prefecture chased an alchemist from afar, and he died here."

Wang Tao suddenly stopped and asked: "Uncle, what is the name of the alchemist?"

The old hunter shook his head and sighed, "I can't read, I only know that he is an intermediate alchemist, what a pity!"

When the man died, he pointed at the group of desperate people and said: "We are from the same roots, why are we so eager to fight each other."

Maybe the people who killed him were his brothers!

The old hunter pointed to a boulder and said, "When we came here again, the alchemist's internal organs were eaten by some beast. Only the shiny certificate on his neck and part of his head and limbs were left. We buried them."

"For people like us who make a living on the edge of a knife, it's a bit of a gesture of gratitude to be saved by the alchemist."

Wang Tao didn't care about hurrying to the bottom of the boulder and dug a simple grave.

The remains inside were incomplete, with only the head and neck that had not yet rotted, and the intermediate alchemist certificate stained with black blood.

The name on the certificate was Sheng Nan!

According to Sheng Jiali's description, his father had been away from home for a long time, and Zhao Yankang came to apologize in person.

That's exactly what Zhao Yancheng said about his father not coming back.

It seems that the dispute over the head of the Zhao family started long before Wang Tao came to the East Wilderness.

Wang Tao found the plastic bag he used to buy things in the human world in his baggage space, collected the remaining bones and the alchemist certificate, and brought them back to Sheng Jiali.

He urged the old hunter to hurry up, and at this moment, the ground began to tremble evenly.

The old hunter immediately ordered: "There is danger, pay attention to protect the employer and the camel."
