Yuanxiao took out the Feather of Hidden God from the storage ring, flicked it three times according to the method told by Brother Zhaiyue, and then raised his hand and waved it.
The treasure enlarged and turned into a transparent bubble that wrapped itself. Then Yuanxiao disappeared, and the bubble disappeared too. The place looked empty at a glance.
The last time I hid in there with Brother Zhaiyue, I knew some of the properties of this invisibility treasure: it blocks sound, blocks sight, and blocks spiritual perception.
People outside can't hear the sound inside or see anything inside, but people inside can see outside and hear all the sounds outside.
Yuan Xiao walked boldly toward the square and looked up at the hundreds of mine entrances on the edge. If he wanted to search all the hundreds of mines thoroughly, it would take at least two or three months. But if he only searched the entrances to the square, he could finish the search in an hour at most.
If Wang Yin wanted to ambush me, it could only be at these cave entrances near the square.
Yuanxiao walked to the gate of the mine and observed each hole in turn along the edge of the square. Although it was a little dark at the hole, with his excellent eyesight and super close observation, if there were people lying in ambush, they would not escape Yuanxiao's sight.
When they reached the fifth cave entrance, they found two young men, one fat and one thin, hiding in the shadow of the cave entrance, talking in low voices. They were the "fat and thin duo" that had been robbed and attacked by the "Wang Yin trio" before.
"I'm so unlucky today. Not only did I not see a low-grade spirit stone, but I was also beaten up! My face is swollen!" said the fat boy.
"Is your face swollen from being beaten? You're fat! My face has been beaten since I was a child. Look, two teeth have fallen out! Why did you run away just now? Because you ran away, we got beaten again!" said the thin man.
"I was just scared! Who knew they would even search me!" said the fat boy aggrievedly.
"We don't have anything on us, not even a hair! Why are you afraid of a body search? You still thought you were a virgin! If you were really a girl and you were so fat, I would have to avoid you when I see you! Ouch! Hiss..."
The thin man cursed, but he took a breath because of the wound on his face.
"Just now they had more people, especially one of them was the inner sect disciple Wang Yin, so I had no choice. If I had a weapon in my hand at that time, I would have fought with them on the spot and would not have run away!"
The fat boy was still stubborn and trying to save face.
The thin man was about to taunt them when he heard a clang. Something fell not far in front of them. The two of them groped forward two steps. The thin man picked up an iron rod and the fat man picked up a dung shovel. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Now that we have weapons, are we going to fight back later?! Are we going to keep the promise we made just now?!
The one who dropped the two weapons was naturally Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao's storage ring was a treasure house. Before leaving home, he threw everything from food, drink, feces, urination, needles and thread into it, as well as hunting steel forks, bows and arrows, spears, and many farm tools.
Now that he heard that the fat and thin brothers were determined to fight back with weapons, he was naturally happy to help them!
Yuanxiao continued to explore every mine entrance along the edge of the square. When he reached the middle, he finally found three people lying in ambush at the cave entrance.
Wang Yin occasionally poked his head out to check. It was Wang Yin and the tall and short boys! Wang Yin squatted in the front, and the two boys, one tall and one short, squatted a little further back, a few steps apart.
"When Yuanxiao appears, I will face the enemy head-on. You two remember to sneak around and attack them when they are unprepared!" Wang Yin was explaining the tactics and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.
"Don't worry, even if it's just for the third-level formula and two low-grade spirit stones, the two of us will satisfy you!"
The tall one turned to the short one and said, "Wait a minute, I'll kick his butt from behind, and you hold his legs to make him unable to move!"
