Chapter 214 Conspiracy

After leaving the military camp, Chen Wangping rushed back to the square and found that more and more people were catching octopuses at the edge of the square. He quickly entered the shed and prepared to ask Xiao Fang to move to another place.

After all, everyone in the Black Oil Ruins is fishing for octopuses now, so among so many octopuses there must be a big octopus leading the way.

You can’t fish anymore. You have to avoid the sharp edge and not stick out.

Just then.

Suddenly, a relic hunter from the Hunter Guild approached and shone a flame at the cloth covering the oil pump, trying to ignite the cloth and tear off the disguise, cursing, "What are you doing sneaking around? Open our eyes, haha."

Xiao Fang was guarding outside the shed at the time. Upon seeing this, he jumped up, raised his hand to block the flames, and cursed angrily, "You're looking for death! Do you really think there's no one in my Outer City Lord's Mansion?"

He stepped forward and slapped the man hard in the face, knocking out several of his teeth.

When Cao Gou saw this, he showed displeasure on his face.

The man who was beaten was his direct subordinate, and it was his secret instruction to set fire to the cloth.

Xiao Fang succeeded in his attack and immediately retreated to his own camp, shouting, "Come and try if you're not afraid of death. You guys can catch your octopuses, I'll do whatever I want. If you meddle with so much, you're looking for death!"

Cao Gou snorted coldly, "General Xiao Fang, you're not so arrogant outside. There are only a few dozen of us, and Fang Bie is not here. Do you really think you can stop us? Could it be that he found some treasure? Is he guarding it in secret? Brothers of the Black Knights, do you want to overthrow his position together?"

Black Rose chuckled. "That's exactly what I meant, General Xiao Fang. Being sneaky isn't the way of a gentleman. If you have any treasures, show them to us and open our eyes."

At this moment, Xiao Tieniu opened the shed and walked out, holding a lively octopus in his hand. He said with a smile: "General, we have collected fifty octopuses. Let's quickly change the high-explosive bomb and blow them to death."

Hearing Xiao Tieniu's words, Cao Gou and Black Rose's expressions changed and they subconsciously took a step back.

What's going on?

How did the people in the Outer City Lord's Mansion know about exchanging fifty octopuses for high-explosive bombs?

At this time, the news that a bunch of traitors were caught during the fishing party in the morning had already spread. Now with this incident, Cao Gou and Black Rose cursed in their hearts, thinking that there must be a traitor in their own family, and passed the news to the people in the outer city lord's mansion.

Xiao Fang hadn't met Chen Wangping yet, so he didn't understand what Xiao Tieniu meant. However, he knew it must have been Chen Wangping's instruction, so he smiled, nodded, and said, "Haha, well done. Let's go and exchange it."

Xiao Tieniu nodded and said, "General, I will start removing the cloth first."

After saying that, he pulled the cloth beside him and lifted the shed with force, revealing seven or eight people inside who were collecting their fishing rods. The ground next to them was covered with black oil marks left by the struggling octopuses. It was obvious that the people from the Outer City Lord's Mansion had caught a lot of octopuses here.

Xiao Fang watched as the pumping units and barrels of finished oil disappeared. Then, seeing Chen Wangping gesture to leave, he turned and sneered, "You two, didn't you want to see what's inside the shed? See? Honestly, there are so many octopuses here, you can't catch them all. It's a great place, I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Xiao Fang waved his hand and led his men towards the entrance of the square.

Seeing Xiao Fang walking away, Cao Gou and Black Rose cautiously sent people over to check the situation.

Really leaving?

Before they could think about it, the person sent to investigate shouted happily, "Boss, there are so many octopuses down there! The density is extremely high. Come and catch them quickly."

Cao Gou and Black Rose didn't have time to think about it. They immediately arranged for their men to divide the area into half and try their best to catch the octopus.

No matter what Xiao Fang thinks, as long as there is an octopus to catch, it's fine.

The high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs produced in the ruins are treasures that can threaten a level five expert!

In front of the treasure, it is worth taking some risks!

For a moment, the Hunters and the Black Knights became excited, and energy surged throughout their bodies.

In the distance, Xiao Fang looked back at the two gangs and asked with some confusion, "Brother Chen, what are they so excited about?"

Chen Wangping laughed and said, "Before I left, I poured some oil from the bucket down there. Now all the octopuses are floating up. How can I not be excited?"

Xiao Tieniu said disdainfully, "They're so arrogant even after following us to drink soup. Benefactor, why don't you use rockets to blow them all up?"

Chen Wangping smiled and said, "No rush. Let them catch the octopus and exchange it for good things first. You've been here for a long time. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow afternoon."

Xiao Fang said anxiously: "Brother Chen, we don't need to rest for so long. We can't let you work here alone."

Chen Wangping waved his hand and said, "There will be an incident here tomorrow at noon. Please wait until it's over before coming in. I can't take care of so many of you. Okay, take a break and go out to rest later."

After hearing what Chen Wangping said, the people of the Volcano Tribe finally calmed down. They rubbed their sore arms, ate food and rested.

Chen Wangping left some food and rushed to the medical department, just in time to see Tang Xihe leading the team out.

Tang Xihe's face was tired at this time, but he was also excited.

After seeing Chen Wangping, she ran over and said excitedly: "Brother Ping, Brother Ping, guess what I found in there?"

Chen Wangping smiled and said, "Could it be a treasure that can cure uncle's illness?"

Tang Xihe nodded vigorously. "Yes, after we went in, we saw many monsters covered with tentacles. Luckily, you told me there would be a strong wind at noon. I used the wind to burn all the monsters. Then I rushed inside and found a complete medical machine. Judging from the picture next to it, it should be a machine that can remove toxins. When we take it back and study it, it will definitely be able to cure uncle's spiritual poison!"

Chen Wangping nodded. "Then go back and rest first. You're in too bad a condition now. It's very dangerous in here. I'll take you back first."

Tang Xihe was actually just holding on with a lot of strength at this time. After seeing Chen Wangping, he had almost no strength left. He nodded and followed Chen Wangping obediently outside.

As they walked, Chen Wangping told her what had just happened and asked her to come back tomorrow afternoon just in case.

Tang Xihe nodded and asked in confusion, "What are these octopuses for? Is that voice in the military camp really a human? Why are there so many strange things in the Black Oil Ruins this time? They weren't there in the previous times."

Chen Wangping shook his head. "Maybe there's some special reason. Let's wait and see."

The group crossed the square and left the black oil ruins.

Half an hour later, Xiao Fang also led his men out through the square. Following Chen Wangping's instructions before he left, he looked very proud, as if he had already returned with high-explosive bombs.

Cao Gou and Black Rose became even more anxious when they saw his look, and repeatedly urged their men to speed up and catch more octopuses while there were many of them to exchange for treasures.

Little did they know that beneath the black oil, an undercurrent was surging, and a huge black shadow was slowly rising.
