"Just bump into me and apologize?"
Shang Lu put one hand on Lu Ke's shoulder and said softly.
"You, what do you want?"
Lu Ke tried to keep his voice calm.
Shang Lu lowered her head and sniffed him, then said, "I smell something different. What did you bring?"
Lu Ke only went to Xiangyue Tower today and brought back a few spirit fish.
The spirit fish is an important medium for him to extract the mysterious substance, so he cannot give it to Shang Lu.
I could only lie and say, "I went to buy some elixirs. If you want them, I can give them to you."
Shang Lu's hand slowly moved to his neck, and he smiled sinisterly: "You are lying."
Feeling the increasing pressure on his neck, Lu Ke hurriedly said, "It's a spirit fish. I got a few new spirit fish."
Shang Lu patted his face and said, "That's good. Take it out."
Lu Ke's face was pale. He took out the bucket from the spirit beast bag and handed it to Shang Lu reluctantly.
Shang Lu didn't take the bucket. He just reached in and took out the spirit fish one by one and looked at them with great interest. "This spirit fish is really unique. I like it very much. Bring it to my yard."
Lu Ke struggled internally for a moment, then said cautiously, "Can you leave me three?"
Shang Lu stared at him with a half-smile and said nothing.
Lu Ke quickly changed his words and said, "Two, no, one, just one."
"Are you qualified to bargain with me?"
There was a hint of contempt in Shang Lu's voice. He dared to kill the fourth elder's senior disciple who was in the Nascent Soul stage, and he didn't even take the other disciples seriously.
Lu Ke also knew that he was not qualified to negotiate with him, but he had to give his master a small bottle of mysterious substance in two days. A spirit fish was needed to extract a small bottle of mysterious substance.
If all the spirit fish were given to him, where would he find a spirit fish in a short time?
He gritted his teeth and knelt down, begging desperately: "Just one, really just one, as long as you give me one, I can promise you one thing."
Shang Lu glanced at Lu Ke with disdain and curled his lips slightly: "Can't you go fishing by yourself again?"
Lu Ke smiled bitterly in his heart. Go fishing again? It sounds so easy, but how to fish?
Some time ago, he went to all the shops, and they said that it was becoming increasingly difficult to catch spirit fish, and that he couldn't catch a single one in ten days or half a month.
Otherwise, why would he use mysterious substances to exchange for these spirit fish.
But the spiritual fish was not long in his hands before it left him.
To offend Shang Lu means death, and to fail to give the master the mysterious substance is also death.
Lu Ke gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly, saying frantically: "Even if you kill me today, you must leave me one!"
Shang Lu looked at Lu Ke strangely, and said in a dangerous tone: "Oh, you dare to resist, I thought the disciples of the Fourth Elder were all a bunch of cowards, since you want to die, I will grant your wish."
As he spoke, Shang Lu rubbed his fingers lightly, but there was no visible light, and Lu Ke's body suddenly became out of his control.
He screamed in horror: "Shang Lu, what did you do to me?"
Before he finished speaking, his own hands reached towards his neck and then clasped them tightly.
"Woo, woo."
Lu Ke struggled desperately, but it was no use.
His whole face became redder and redder, and the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger.
Just when he thought he was going to be strangled to death, Shang Lu suddenly let him go: "Boring."
Lu Ke felt that he could control his body, so he quickly let go of his hands and gasped for breath.
When he recovered and looked up, Shang Lu had already walked away, leaving only a sentence: "I'll leave one for you, and bring the rest to my yard."
Lu Ke didn't dare to disobey. With the joy of surviving the disaster, he brought the bucket to Shang Lu's yard and only took one away for himself.
………………
In the dim underground, there are many caves on both sides of the passage.
Each cave has several restrictions, and people or monsters are imprisoned inside. They all look miserable and have suffered torture.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and death.
Shang Lu covered his nose with his hand and walked into the brown passage, stopping in front of a relatively new cave.
He raised his hand and waved it, the restriction was opened, and he walked in.
Sitting in the corner was a man with his limbs chained together. He raised his head when he heard the sound.
He has an ordinary appearance and will be forgotten in a blink of an eye. He is Ran Changle's fourth senior brother Wen Ye.
"Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Shang Lu threw seven tiny crystals in front of Wen Ye: "Look at your junior sister's handiwork."
Wen Ye picked up the crystal, examined it carefully, and exclaimed in admiration, "Junior Sister's talent in talismans is truly astonishing. She can actually carve runes on such a small crystal. The key is that the power is no less than that of ordinary talismans..."
"Alright, alright, stop praising me. I know your junior sister is amazing." Shang Lu interrupted impatiently, "She wanted to use this thing to kill Lu Ke, but I stopped her."
"If she wants to kill Lu Ke, let her do it. Why are you stopping her?"
Wen Ye looked disapproving.
Shang Lu snorted lightly: "Only Lu Ke can extract the mysterious substance. We will soon find out what the Fourth Elder wants to do with the mysterious substance. How can we let Lu Ke die now?
Besides, if Lu Ke is not dead, he will find out that it was your Junior Sister who did it, and then your Junior Sister will be in danger."
Wen Ye subconsciously wanted to nod, but stopped himself and retorted: "Since Junior Sister has taken action, Lu Ke will definitely die."
Shang Lu didn't want to continue discussing his junior sister with Wen Ye. He reached out and pulled up the iron chain on his body. Runes on the chain flickered: "This iron chain is designed very precisely. The runes on it are comparable to the great formation in the Fourth Elder's mansion."
Wen Ye slapped his hand away and said, "Don't move, it hurts."
When Shang Lu heard Wen Ye say it hurt, he pulled up the chain again and even shook it.
All the runes on the chains lit up, and the light of the spell ran along the chains towards Wen Ye.
Wen Ye sighed helplessly, and his figure disappeared in a blur.
When he reappeared, he had broken free from the chains and was standing on the other side of the cave.
Shang Lu turned around and looked: "You can come out now, why do you pretend to be locked up all day?"
Wen Ye said seriously, "The Fourth Elder locked me up here and used so many runes. I have to show him the results. Besides, I'm very obedient."
"How can someone who can sneak out of the tribe obey you? Tell me, what are your plans?"
Shang Lu folded his arms and looked at Wen Ye and said.
Wen Ye's figure flashed and he returned to the chains. He said, "What can I plan? Find out the secret of the Fourth Elder and kill him."
Shang Lu stopped shaking the chain and said doubtfully, "He's your elder. How could you have the heart to do that to him?"
"Those who have been expelled from the family are not considered my elders." Wen Ye's demeanor changed, and his tone was icy. "A hundred years ago, my father spared his life out of pity, but I didn't expect him to change his ways and continue to experiment on humans and intelligent monsters. I must kill him and not let him bring trouble to the Yao family."
