The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 154: Soulless
"Traitor! Traitor!"

Hong Lianfeng was furious and slashed wildly with the long knife in his hand. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and his left eye, which already had a scar, was cut again and blood was dripping.

He tried his best to keep his only remaining right eye open, and dared not blink even when blood flowed into his eye socket, making his eyes redder and more terrifying. He clenched the long knife, his knuckles turned white, and the slippery blood flowed down his arm into the gaps between his fingers, making it difficult for him to hold the handle of the knife tightly.

"You are so brave! So brave!"

Hong Lianfeng used his flaming sword to repel the three people who were besieging him again. He took a few deep breaths, half-knelt, raised his head, and stared at the three people with a ferocious look like a ghost. Anyone could see that he was almost exhausted.

However, even so, none of the three besiegers were willing to get close to Hong Lianfeng at this moment to see him off for the last time.

When a tiger is about to die, its remaining power is still strong.

Before they were sure whether Hong Lianfeng was truly powerless to resist, the three of them were worried that he would counterattack before his death and become the one to be dragged down with him, so they did not dare to step forward.

The three of them looked at each other, guessed what the other two were thinking, cursed a few times in their hearts, and gave up the idea of ​​instigating others to come forward. Everyone was not a good person, but they were not stupid either. If they continued to do this, it would not only be useless but also make them look stupid.

"Pooh!"

Lugo turned his head and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, biting it with his teeth, tightening the handle of the knife wrapped around his right hand, staring at Hong Lianfeng, while keeping a vigilant eye on his two "teammates". Hong Lianfeng was about to die, and once he died, the contract between the three of them would be fulfilled, and they would not show mercy when stabbing each other.

But isn’t the owner of the Eye of God too difficult to kill?

Originally, it was going smoothly. He used the little mute and his friends to attract the ghost, and used the excuse that the magic crystal blocks in the No. 2 mine were about to run out and he hoped to find a new mining site to lure Hong Lianfeng to the preset ambush point. He let the ghost and its projection monsters deal with Hong Lianfeng, and the three of them would reap the benefits.

But who would have thought that, whether it was because Hong Lianfeng was too strong or those projected monsters were too weak, after a chaotic encounter, all the projected monsters were destroyed, and the ghost stood in a daze on a pile of earth veins, his body becoming more illusory and transparent, looking like a ghost.

However, Hong Lianfeng was only seriously injured, not dead or dying. He even had the strength to disguise himself and tricked them.

Lugo had a grim expression on his face. He pressed his left hand on his waist and abdomen which were injured by Hong Lianfeng. The clothes there had marks of burns from flames, and the wounds on his skin also had scorch marks. Because of this, the bleeding stopped.

Fortunately, the knife didn't cut deep, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about his teammates backstabbing him. Fortunately, he wasn't the only one injured, otherwise he would have to think about how to escape.

"Lugo, we have been brothers for so many years. Tell me honestly, have I ever treated you unfairly?"

Hong Lianfeng took a breath again, leaning on the knife, and cast his bloodstained eyes at Lu Ge, full of anger: "Why did you betray me!"

"Let's not talk about whether people in our industry have any conscience. Mr. Hong, why don't you think about it carefully? Have you ever treated me badly?"

Lugo sneered: "If I hadn't contributed money and effort, would you have been able to kill the previous boss and take the position of leader of the Maple Leaf Treasure Stealing Group? But what did you get in return? You didn't even want to give me the position of deputy leader!"

It was not until the thin man and the bald man joined the group that he became one of the three small leaders of the Maple Leaf Treasure Steals!

"Before I killed the boss, you and I were brothers, but after I killed him, you turned hostile faster than anyone else!" Lu Ge looked at the lingering Hong Lianfeng with a look of resentment, his eyes full of satisfaction: "The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't see your true face right away and treat you as my brother and take you home for a meal!"

And now, Hong Lianfeng, who held his weak spot, was finally going to die. When he returned to Liyue Harbor and secretly killed the people who were following him for Hong Lianfeng, no one would be able to threaten him with his family anymore.

and also……

Lugo suddenly grinned, his eyes were sinister: "Mr. Hong, I have been by your side like a dog all these years. You don't think I didn't notice anything, do you? Don't worry, after you die, I will take good care of your wife and children."

"Do you think I care about my shitty family like you do?"

Hong Lianfeng seemed to sneer and tightened his long sword. Even though he felt the blood between his fingers was a bit uncomfortable, he did not dare to let go of the handle.

"You naturally don't care about the ones in Liyue Harbor, but what about those in Qingce Manor?"

"!!" Hong Lianfeng's expression suddenly changed, staring at Lu Ge with a fierce look: "You!!"

Lugo subconsciously took a step back, then became ashamed and angry because of this step back, so he took half a step forward, holding a knife, and uttered many obscene words that could not pass muster.

Hong Lianfeng's expression became increasingly gloomy.

The thin man and the bald man looked at each other, silently distanced themselves from the two men, and positioned themselves on the left and right, so that when Hong Lianfeng became furious and wanted to die with Lugo, they could send Hong Lianfeng to the afterlife as quickly as possible.

As for Lugo...it all depends on his fate.

This was his own choice. Being stared at and beaten by the furious Hong Lianfeng had nothing to do with them and it didn't count as a breach of the contract... The thin man thought so and sneered in his heart.

In their line of work, whoever gets married or falls in love will die the most miserably.

Being alone is the right answer!

……

In a place that the four people could not see, Ye Lan and Chen Tianfeng were lying side by side, observing the battlefield below from a high vantage point.

"There was an internal conflict..."

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, first glanced at the ghost who looked very ghostly, then glanced at the four people who were confronting each other with knives. Immediately, he realized something was wrong, and quickly moved his gaze back, raising his eyebrows: "That ghost is not a projection of the earth vein!"

Ye Lan, who was staring at Hong Lianfeng, especially the "Eye of God" exposed on his waist, was stunned and asked in confusion: "Which bastard?"

"It's the ghost with a pale soul."

Chen Tianfeng explained, stroking his chin, thinking: "Could it be that this ghost with a weak soul is the reason for the disorder of the earth veins?"

Among a group of ground vein projections, there is a ghost that is not a ground vein projection, and it seems that this ghost has already participated in the original plot, which makes it very suspicious.

Ghost...Ye Lan had a strange expression for a moment, and tried hard not to laugh out loud, only a hint of joy appeared at the corner of her lips. She followed Chen Tianfeng's gaze, but did not find anything unusual about the ghost. In her perception, although the ghost was a little ghost, it did exude the aura of the earth vein projection, which was easy to distinguish.

"Brother Chen, are you sure that, uh, that soul is not a projection of the earth vein?"

"determine."

Chen Tianfeng was very confident. He had eaten many projected monsters. He also tried to directly swallow the earth vein flower instead of activating it in the conventional way when he encountered it - it tasted very good.

To be honest, when he was very hungry, he had thought about eating the earth veins more than once. If he was not worried about causing trouble to the world, he would have been lying on the ground and eating them crazily.

Chen Tianfeng looked at the battlefield below, frowning slightly, feeling that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Let's watch first. The ground projection covers up a lot of things. We will try to interrupt it at the critical moment of the plot, and maybe we can break this illusion."

"I'll listen to Brother Chen."

Ye Lan had no objection.

Only after breaking through the illusion and seeing the truth can they find the origin of the disordered earth veins and solve this problem.

Fortunately, they arrived early. If they had arrived a few days later, the plot of the geomagnetic projection would have become a cycle, and perhaps some formidable monster would have emerged.
