“Sometimes the truth is so absurd that you’ll never believe it unless you see it with your own eyes.”
Yang Baiyi placed his right hand in front of him and clenched it hard. The ghost hand vines wrapped around the gangs suddenly tightened and pierced deeply into their bodies.
Dozens of strands were overwhelmed by the crazy ghost hand vine before they could even let out a scream.
"Boss, I just told you and you didn't believe me, that's how Li Xiaoer died."
Seeing the mountain spirit's ghostly tricks again, Biaozi was deeply shocked and shouted loudly, like a madman.
"The government has been suppressing us for so many years, and we have managed to survive without finding them. Today, we were wiped out by a mountain spirit or ghost."
Dozens of brothers disappeared in front of him without leaving a hair behind. Tan Long looked much older in an instant.
"Boss, the immortal is only looking for wealth. As long as we hand over the gold, silver and jewelry, he will not kill us."
Ma San shouted from the side.
"I've been hiding here and there for over a decade, and I'm tired. In today's world, there's no room for us to survive.
I will not hand over the gold, silver, and jewelry. Let them disappear from this world with us."
More than ten years have passed since the last encirclement and suppression.
At that time, Tan Long was only eighteen or nineteen years old. He was just a close confidant of the boss and knew where the gold, silver and jewelry were hidden.
When the encirclement and suppression took place, Tan Long was not in the mountain stronghold, so he escaped.
When Tan Long returned to the village, it had become a scorched earth.
Fortunately, the gold, silver and jewelry hidden by the boss were still there, so Tan Long gathered a few surviving gangs and began to live a life of hiding.
Most of his current younger brothers were taken in later, and this time they were all wiped out by the devil in front of him. Tan Long suddenly felt completely hopeless.
"Boss, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. If you lose your life, you lose everything."
Biaozi also tried to persuade him.
Biaozi and Ma San both committed crimes in the village and joined the gang because they were left with no other options. If they were not afraid of death, they would not have brought Yang Baiyi up the mountain.
"Shut up! If you hadn't lured him here, our brothers wouldn't have lost their lives. You're dreaming of buying our lives with gold, silver, and jewelry."
Tan Long made up his mind to bury Biaozi and Ma San with him and go there to apologize to his brothers.
"I didn't expect you to be such a tough nut to crack. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Yang Baiyi flicked his finger, and a wisp of faint blue flame floated down on Tan Long's body.
The blue flames did not attach to Tan Long's body, but penetrated into his body.
"Devil, what have you done to me?"
Tan Long screamed and felt his body being burned by flames. The intense pain made Tan Long's soul tremble.
This faint blue flame is called tarsal flame. As the name suggests, it is attached to the bones and keeps burning, but nothing can be seen from the outside.
It's almost dawn now, and Yang Baiyi has no time to waste here, so he takes drastic measures.
Tan Long had been doing evil in Wohu Mountain for many years. He had even been a lackey of the Japanese pirates and had harmed his own compatriots, so Yang Baiyi was not polite to him at all.
In order to get the gold, silver and jewelry hidden by the gang as soon as possible, Yang Baiyi used the tarsal flame to burn Tan Long, and constantly used the wood-based ability to help him recover and keep him awake.
"Boss, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. The immortal said that he is only seeking wealth. As long as you hand over the gold, silver and jewelry, the immortal will let us go."
"Boss, why are you doing this? As long as there is green mountain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
Biaozi and Ma San were trying to persuade them.
"You devil, if you have the guts, give me a quick death. I should have died fifteen years ago. I've earned these extra fifteen years."
Tan Long was determined to die and wanted to use words to provoke Yang Baiyi so that Yang Baiyi would give him a quick death.
"Put aside your tricks, with your IQ, you're still trying to play tricks on me?
It's not that easy to die. I have plenty of ways to deal with you. Let's see how long you can hold out."
Yang Baiyi took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and leisurely watched Tan Long's struggle.
"Stop now. I'm telling you that the gold, silver, and jewelry are hidden in a cave in Bison Hill. I can take you there."
A quarter of an hour later, Tan Long finally couldn't bear it anymore. Now he realized that sometimes dying without pain is a luxury.
"That's right! I've always been a very kind person, but you insisted on forcing me to use such rude means. Why did you do this?
Come, take me to see your stock and see if it is enough to buy your lives."
Yang Baiyi waved his hand, and the ghost hand vine retreated like a tide, and Tan Long regained his freedom.
Yang Baiyi did not take back the tarsal inflammation, but kept it in Tan Long's body for the time being as a deterrent to him.
Without Yang Baiyi's urging, the tarsal inflammation remained dormant for a while.
Tan Long didn't waste any time. He just stood up, stretched his hands and feet, and picked up the torch on the ground.
After identifying the direction, Tan Long took the lead and walked forward.
Bison Hill was not far from here, and they soon saw a cave.
"It's right here."
Tan Long pointed to the cave in front of him and said.
"Boss, are you mistaken? I've been in this cave before, and there's nothing inside."
Ma San confirmed with a sad face.
The lives of the three of them were in the blink of an eye of this ghostly mountain elf.
If the boss played a trick on him, he would get angry and the three of them would have a hard time dying.
"There's a secret door in the cave. If the gold, silver, and jewelry were just laid out in the open, how could they have survived until now?"
Tan Long said with some pride.
When the boss was killed by a stray bullet, the brothers who knew the hiding place of the gold, silver and jewelry were all surrounded and wiped out, so this batch of gold, silver and jewelry was preserved by accident.
"Give the torch to Ma San, and let's go in."
Yang Baiyi secretly perked up and paid close attention to Tan Long's every move.
If Tan Long made any unusual movement, Yang Baiyi would kill him immediately.
Gold, silver and jewelry are good, but they are far less important than your own safety.
Tan Long reluctantly handed the torch to Ma San. He didn't expect that this devil would be so cautious.
There is not only gold, silver and jewelry in the cave, but also the ammunition given to them by the Japanese pirates.
Tan Long originally wanted to take advantage of the devil's inattention to detonate the ammunition and kill himself with the devil, but it seems his hope is dashed.
At this point, Tan Long had no other choice but to lead his men into the cave.
Walking straight into the bottom of the cave, Tan Long activated the mechanism, and the secret door slowly opened. The gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and ammunition that had been sealed for more than ten years appeared in front of Yang Baiyi.
"Back then, the Japanese pirates invested a lot in trying to win you over!"
Looking at the dozens of large boxes and the mountains of guns and cannons in front of him, Yang Baiyi sighed.
