Chapter 452: Falling Into a Box

Trouble arrives like this.

Bai Wei sighed and rubbed his forehead with his hand.

An exclamation mark serves as a warning, but unexpected events happen without one.

Like random events that suddenly appear on a big map, without any preparation or hesitation, it suddenly appears in this world, bringing surprise to people.

The sentence ‘Surprise, mom provoked Frank’ can describe Bai Wei’s current mood.

He has been very careful, but still inexplicably fell into the hatred of the roadside monster.

He seemed to hear the background music of the carver’s masterpiece playing.

Unexpected disaster struck.

Bai Wei looked again, and the person had already crossed the river and escaped, leaving three tricky items on the boat, causing the gang to be busy and chaotic.

They all knew it was a hot potato and didn’t want it. There were already more than a dozen figures jumping on the boat with different skills on both sides of the Small Dragon River.

The faces of the Qingwu County Gang members turned ugly. With so many people coming up, were they here to hijack the ship? This is not your home. But at this time, should they draw their blades? They were also afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

"Quickly throw everything off the boat!" yelled the leader of the Green Bear Gang.

The gang members were not unwilling to part with the items. After a while of chaos, they found a treasure emitting a blue light and immediately threw it away, attracting more than ten people to follow. These ten-plus people fought and made a lot of noise. Some fell into the water and there was no more movement from them. Some monsters also tried to snatch it by force, but they were beaten to death by the group. Others were still boarding the ship.

A helper with a sad face said, "Leader, that thing has disappeared!"

"How could it disappear!"

"I don’t know, maybe it’s some kind of magic trick," said the guest.

Just as they finished speaking, they heard someone below cursing loudly, "It’s just a pebble, we’ve been tricked!"

Bai Wei walked to the edge of the table and picked up the green stone from the little snake girl’s bowl. He flicked it with his finger and it made a clear sound, as if it was made of gold and jade.

"What is this?" he had never seen this kind of eastern treasure before.

Chao Lu guessed, "It seems to be a magical treasure."

"What?"

"It’s an inherited object. By gaining insight from the magical treasure, one might be able to learn the magical techniques written on it," Chao Lu explained. "Magical abilities of the demon race are passed down through memory and have a high requirement for bloodlines. If one is naturally unable to inherit them, they can only learn through other means, such as gaining insight from the ancestral bone. As for what this green bone is, I can’t figure it out yet."

"Is this thing very expensive?"

"Treasure bones must be from rare beasts or have the bloodline of the Great Wilderness." Chao Lu quickly calculated, "Even the worst treasure bone is worth at least millions, as it can help one slowly comprehend its magical skills."

"Can humans also use it?"

"Perhaps they can. Whether the magical skills can be used depends on how individuals comprehend them," Chao Lu said. "Maybe Young Master Bai can also figure out what it is?"

Bai Wei picked up a green treasure bone and pondered. Out of the three bones, only one was genuine, and it indeed had a hint of mystery, making it seem authentic.

Yubing put down his chopsticks, wiped his face, and blinked. "It seems like it’s only half of the bone."

"Half?" Bai Wei flipped it over. "It looks like it’s intact."

"Looking at the bone’s patterns, it’s indeed broken in half, with the other side being repaired," Yubing extended his hand and poked the green treasure bone, revealing a very fine fracture line.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Wei exerted force with his fingers, breaking the bone into two pieces just like splitting apart a snack. It was indeed that only half of it was real, while the other half was a fake bone. He couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "What a strange thing."

He accepted half of the treasure bone, then threw the other half, which was difficult to tell if it was real or fake, to a monster who was the fastest to climb onto the ship.

Without waiting for the bat monster to be thrilled, Bai Wei kindly reminded him, "There is only half."

The bat monster was stunned, then burst into a furious curse.

Bai Wei kindly pointed the way, "He has already crossed the river."

Without another word, the bat monster swiftly flew away.

Bai Wei sat down calmly and drank tea.

Chao Lu smiled gently, like a blossoming flower, "Young Master Bai took someone’s candy-coated words, but kicked the bomb back."

"This is not enough," Bai Wei shook his head, "I’m waiting for the other party to return the package."

The little snake girl raised her head, "What package?"

"Are you full?" Bai Wei asked her.

"Hmm." Yubing nodded, suddenly blushing, thinking about being full and warm, wondering if she would go to a warm bed next.

"Then wash the bowl." Bai Wei said gently, "Whoever finishes eating last washes the dishes."

…

The farce didn’t last long. These people or demons were just passing through, grabbing the treasure bones. The helpers watched helplessly as seven or eight skilled individuals died, sighing that life was worthless.

Some people regretted that they died in the river. Otherwise, if they were pulled out, they could still touch a corpse and open a blind box.

Qingwu County Gang could only laugh bitterly when encountering this undeserved disaster.

At this time, there were still two days’ journey to Longyao City. The leader of Green Bear Gang went door to door to apologize to the guests and said some caring words.

After nightfall, they rested in their respective rooms.

Bai Wei stayed alone on the boat deck, playing with a half piece of blue treasure bone in his hand. Because it was missing half, its mysteriousness was not obvious, only occasionally stimulated by Bai Wei’s Golden Power, flashing a few arcs of blue light, mixed with a burning sensation.

He looked at the misty night and heard questioning voices from behind.

"Does the young master need room service?"

The voice was enchanting and tempting, and Bai Wei felt the air seemed to become sweet. A soft breath was approaching him from behind.

If it was a technique that affected the five senses, it would not work on the puppet. The Four-Phase Puppet relied on Bai Wei’s mighty soul power to simulate the five senses.

Now it affected his perception, even if it was very slight, it proved that it involved the mystical arts related to soul power.

Bai Wei smelled a scent and couldn’t help but think of a certain pink-haired fox spirit.

He turned around, his gaze piercing through the pink mist, staring straight at the figure in a blue shirt.

"Is this the fox spirit magic?"

After hearing someone reveal the truth about their past, the person in the blue shirt paused for a moment, then a feeling of danger suddenly came over them.

Bai Wei waved his sleeve and in the blink of an eye, the pink mist disappeared. The powerful magic was easily torn apart, like a balloon being ripped by a strong gust of wind.

The person’s face changed constantly, realizing that they might be in trouble. They casually threw out half of a treasure bone to attract attention and make the fools fight each other. They had planned to follow the markings on the treasure bone to secretly retrieve it later, but unexpectedly, the half treasure bone fell into the hands of a mysterious expert, and they had even willingly walked right into it!

He was definitely feeling frustrated about his bad luck but couldn’t express his bitterness.

Bai Wei reached out his hand and said, "I’ll trade half a treasure bone for your life."

The person’s face turned gloomy and they said, "I… I didn’t bring it with me. It’s somewhere else, I can go get it."

Bai Wei sighed and said, "It seems luck is not on your side."

The fox demon immediately kneeled down and begged for mercy.

Bai Wei clenched his fist and activated the four-phase puppet’s fiery power. Flames gathered on his thumb, ready to give the other person a burning praise.

The fox demon quickly sat up and asked, "Can you really sell half a life? What if you kill me?"

Bai Wei laughed and said, "It seems like it’s really with you."

The fox demon stared at Bai Wei, seeming to want an assurance.

"If I kill you, the treasure bone will be mine too," said Bai Wei in a calm tone. "Bring it out, no more talking."

The fox demon used its claws to cut through the clothes, took out a half piece of green treasure bone, and handed it over.

Bai Wei reached out and took the treasure bone. The moment his fingers touched it, the fox demon’s face suddenly turned ferocious. It roared loudly and summoned the power of the nine-headed lion, using its roar to intimidate and paralyze the opponent’s soul and mind. Its kingly pressure was enough to make someone completely paralyzed.

The fox demon suddenly attacked, its claws ready to strike at Bai Wei’s vital points… It had been planning to catch Bai Wei off guard and seize the opportunity. It had obtained the treasure bone with great difficulty, and it was the key to changing its own destiny. It wouldn’t let go even if it died. If someone gave it a chance, it shouldn’t blame itself for being ruthless.

Bai Wei’s body trembled slightly, and his breath dispersed.

The fox demon was shocked to find that its claws couldn’t penetrate. When its claws touched the skin, it felt like hitting an impenetrable wall. It was a bit dumbfounded… The fox demon’s power of the lion technique may not have been well practiced, but how could its own claws, tempered by its demonic power, not be able to kill a human?

There must be such talented people in the world, but how did they end up here, on this old ship, letting themselves get touched.

It sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but its body wouldn’t obey, even when it exerted all its strength.

It watched helplessly as a hand pressed onto its forehead, and then the five fingers closed, with the thumb pressing on its eyebrows in approval.

It became angry.

It also cooled down.

The thief who tried to cause trouble and use others to commit murder was punished.

Bai Wei slapped the dust off his palms, and the bronze mask closed again, hiding his true identity.

He combined the two precious bones, and the complete bones emitted a blue light. From within the bones, a majestic blue bird flew out, flapping its wings and singing loudly, raising the temperature of the air with its fiery breath.

Bi Fang Treasure Bone.

Bai Wei glanced at the burnt black marks on the ground and said, "Thank you for the delivery, my friend."
