Chapter 269 Siren text: ¤
After answering Yu Xunge's question, Tu Lan didn't hear a response for a long time. She didn't care. Instead, she asked Yu Xunge in confusion, "Why do we need to investigate these things? Can't we just go to the Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale? As long as we get close, I can sense it."
Yu Xunge turned off the game screen and replied, "I just want to learn more before I go looking. Let's go, tonight we'll go and sense the surrounding area. What's the furthest distance you can sense?"
She asked the question, but she didn't really have any hope. Her villa was the security booth of the Liang family manor, not far away, but Tu Lan had been here for so long and hadn't sensed the Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale. Either the Liang family had hidden the thing, or it wasn't here at all.
The worst-case scenario is that before Tulan was even taken home, that Achilles' heel had already been put into the game's inventory.
Tu Lan: "It's roughly the distance between where we found the dragon whiskers that day and my little dragon tooth nest."
Yu Xunge sat down silently again. The distance was enough for her to make three round trips between her own home and the Liang family's home: "I'll check again."
The dragon scale was stolen more than a hundred years ago. That wind sickle must have accidentally fallen to Earth after stealing the reverse scale. If he was still on the run in Zelan at that time, Senior Xue Dui would have had a reason to catch up with him...
More than a hundred years ago, that is, before 1978, theoretically, this corresponds to the time when Liang Pozhou became wealthy after he turned fifty.
One hundred and one hundred years ago, one hundred and seventy or eighty years ago was also more than a hundred years ago. She had asked Xue Dui about it when she was on Dragon Island, but Xue Dui was a dragon. The concept of time was vague for long-lived species. A year was no different from a minute for humans. It was hard for him to explain in detail. Sometimes those great dragons could sleep for more than half a year. Even though Xue Dui was an elder, he would sleep whenever he was supposed to.
Even though she had no hope, Yu Xunge still took Tu Lan for a long walk around the Liang family's neighborhood that night, but naturally they didn't sense anything.
On her way home, Yu Xunge suddenly thought of Black Jade. Tu Lan could sense the aura of a dragon, so could Black Jade do the same?
She always felt that in her past life, Hei Fei had a high chance of obtaining that Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale.
She had this feeling because among Black Jade's S-level divine gifts, there was a divine gift skill called "The Hungrier You Are, the Lucky You Are," which was a divine gift skill that was on a completely different level from the other three divine gift skills, which were either offensive or defensive.
It could even be said that it was a skill that didn't quite fit with the Flood Dragon Black Jade.
[The hungrier you are, the luckier you get]: Lucky Snake, the hungrier you are, the luckier you get.
Just ten words, but Yu Xunge could never forget them after reading them.
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter; sometimes, the less the probability and data are stated, the more infinite the possibilities.
Thinking of Hei Fei, Yu Xunge felt a surge of crisis. She didn't even go home and followed the information she found to find the Liang family's fishing boat.
Private purchases of beaches are not permitted in China, but for the powerful and wealthy, there are always ways to circumvent these regulations. Every building in this area has been bought by the Liang family, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. Even if they do manage to get in, they will be watched by the Liang family's bodyguards.
Several yachts and an old fishing boat were moored on the beach. Lights were on in the villas near the beach, and there were sounds of laughter and card games coming from inside.
Yu Xunge's destination was this dilapidated fishing boat.
In her memory, the Liang family did value family, but they were not nostalgic and would not project their emotions onto cold objects.
For example, Yu Xunge, although she didn't cherish that costume she took off to the point of keeping it as a treasure, she wouldn't sell it either; at most, she would just keep it at home.
On the other hand, Liang Yuchuan obtained a top-tier dagger in the second year after the game's invasion in her previous life. She spent more than half a year slaying bosses and killing top players. Many of her famous events were related to that dagger, and that azure dagger became her symbol for a long time.
But when she got something better, she just changed it without hesitation, put it directly on the auction house, hyped it up, and sold it for a high price. It was Liang Jing who was behind the hype. It's impossible for Liang Sha not to know about these things.
How did this family manage to keep this old fishing boat until now... It's not an antique.
Even though there were no other players here, Yu Xunge still used her disguise skill to change her appearance. She changed her clothes and used an illusion spell. To prevent Tu Lan from being divinated, she also sent Tu Lan back to the pet space for the time being before approaching the old fishing boat that looked like it had been patched up countless times.
The fishing boat wasn't big. Even though it was clear that the Liang family had tried to "upgrade" it, it was originally a small wooden boat from a hundred years ago, and its limits were limited.
It took Yu Xunge less than five seconds to walk from the bow to the stern of the ship with his long legs.
This fishing boat was neither a mutated prop nor a strange object, nor did it leave any notes or old items. The only thing that could be considered special was an old fishing net crumpled up in the corner, but the net was nothing unusual, it was washed clean, and there were no clues inside.
However, the cleaner it was, the more uneasy she felt, like in detective novels, where the seemingly most innocent one is often the murderer.
Yu Xunge did not give up. She examined the dilapidated fishing boat almost inch by inch. She even turned the boat over and searched it. Finally, she found a tiny symbol in the extremely narrow gap between two planks at the bottom of the boat.
If it weren't for her attributes exceeding 100 and the "You're Too Weak" skill bonus from the Sharpshooter talent, which makes her adept at noticing subtle changes and differences, she would definitely have missed it.
The dilapidated fishing boat had many scratches. At first glance, this particular mark didn't seem special, but after rubbing it several times, Yu Xunge was certain that it was a siren's script.
Because when she cuts the wooden board and presses the words with her fingers, she hears the sound of ocean waves.
If the overall outline of the Owl's script resembles an acorn, then the Siren's script is as free and flowing as seaweed. Other races would find the Siren's script as dizzying as Chinese people would find Thai script; those who haven't studied it seriously would find it difficult to discern the differences and patterns.
Yu Xunge didn't recognize it either, but coincidentally, when Hedgehog was teaching her to recognize herbs, he had introduced a high-grade aquatic herb.
"Devil's Encounter, this herb is called Hope by alchemists. It has no substantial effect, no attributes, no magic. It is a pure essence born from the silence of the deep sea. If there are any problems with your potions and gem essences, add a wisp of Devil's Encounter and it can help you quell all conflicts."
"What's interesting is that you see the appearance of the Devil's Encounter, with a transparent ring of water and four small tentacles. It looks exactly like a character in the Siren Clan, but its meaning is completely opposite to the Devil's Encounter. It means attack, extermination, and a fight to the death."
