The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 156 This thing is destined for me
The thin man and the bald man's expressions changed at the same time, and their eyes glanced at each other almost uncontrollably, then their faces met, and then they looked away quickly as if they had been electrocuted.

They were not stupid, so they naturally understood the malice in Hong Lianfeng's words. But even if they understood, when the temptation to become stronger was placed before them, few people were willing to give it up. Moreover, if they gave the secret to the other party, and that secret could make them stronger immediately, it would be like giving their lives to the other party at that moment.

The thin man's expression kept changing, his hand holding the knife tightened again and again, and the knuckles of his left hand holding the stone turned white.

"Swear to Lord Yan."

The bald man suddenly spoke, causing the thin man to be startled and look at him. The bald man's face twitched, as if he was making a very difficult decision. He took a deep breath and turned his head: "I'll give you the secret, but you have to swear to Lord Yan that you must not attack me before I disregard our friendship and attack you."

"Okay! I promise you!"

The thin man's eyes flickered, he quickly considered the pros and cons, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

The two reached a consensus, quickly discussed the contents of the contract, and solemnly asked Prince Yan to witness it.

"Cough cough..."

Hong Lianfeng coughed twice and breathed hard. He swept his sinister and vicious eyes over the two people who treated him like a piece of meat on the chopping board. The fingers of his blood-stained right hand moved down and lightly touched the evil eye on his waist.

The light of the evil eye flickered, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmed, just like breathing. Hong Lianfeng's pale face became weaker, wrinkles increased at the corners of his eyes, a few strands of hair turned gray, his skin shrank quietly, and age spots began to appear on his arms hidden under his sleeves.

Not far away, a ghost standing blankly on a pile of earth vein output noticed something, looked in the direction of Hong Lianfeng, moved slightly, as if wanting to float in the direction of Hong Lianfeng, but quickly stopped, with confusion in his eyes.

It looked at Hong Lianfeng, then somewhere beside itself, as if it had figured out something, and stopped moving, but its soul became increasingly dim.

"You can say it."

The thin man and the bald man signed the contract and looked at Hong Lianfeng who was lying on the ground.

"You two have discussed it... ahem... come closer..."

Hong Lianfeng spoke weakly and looked exhausted: "After you know this, don't... don't forget to save me... cough cough..."

"Can we listen to the secret together?"

The thin man frowned. If they could listen together, what if their teammates next to them got there first?
He glanced at the bald man inconspicuously, wanting to ask him to leave, but was worried that this was another trick of Hong Lianfeng, so he stopped talking.

I should have added a restriction to the contract earlier.

The thin man was a little annoyed.

The bald man was secretly happy, knowing that he had made the right bet. He first gave up, and then took advantage of his teammate's surprise to guide him not to remember that "if he wanted to hear the secret alone, he had to be alone with Hong Lianfeng", so that he could also hear the secret.

Moreover, Hong Lianfeng was about to die, and the previous contract had wasted enough time, so his teammates had no chance to hesitate.

"Oh, it's okay. It doesn't matter if the secret is heard. This is what's important."

Hong Lianfeng took a breath and perked up his spirits. He reached out to take off the evil eye and wanted to throw it at the thin man, but his arms were weak and the evil eye fell on the ground about three or two steps away from his feet.

"Eye of God? Didn't you say it was fake?"

The thin man looked at the dull gem on the ground with caution. "It's not the Eye of God, it's the Evil Eye, a treasure that allows ordinary people to channel elemental power."

Hong Lianfeng coughed a few more times, lowered his eyes, and said, "And the secret is, whoever holds the evil eye can use it, which means gaining the ability to guide elemental power."

The gazes of the thin man and the bald man suddenly became hot. They almost rushed out at the same time, stretched out their hands to grab the evil eye, and stopped at the same time.

Hong Lianfeng silently estimated the distance between the two men and the Evil Eye, intending to wait until they were close enough to the Evil Eye before detonating the power accumulated in the Evil Eye by sacrificing his vitality, and blow to death the two guys who betrayed him.

But a figure suddenly appeared and disrupted the plans of the three people.

The thin man didn't bother to blame his teammates. He pointed his long sword at the figure that suddenly appeared, his eyes were cold, especially when he saw that the figure was holding his evil eye in his hand: "Put it down, it's not yours!"

The bald man was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he quietly stepped back.

Not to mention that they didn't even see how this man appeared, the evil eye in his hand alone was enough to make him want to back off.

"Fuck!"

The bald man froze, and he lowered his head to look at the arrow that had sunk into the ground beside his feet. He ignored the wound on his leg caused by the splashing gravel and quickly glanced around.

No one was seen, as if the arrow was created out of thin air.

The bald man felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to hesitate. He immediately put down his weapon and raised his hands high: "I surrender!"

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the bald man and admired his actions. If the situation was not wrong, he would have praised him. Chen Tianfeng smiled and casually threw an evil eye: "I think this treasure is destined for me. How about you two brothers do some good deeds and give it to me?"

When the skinny man heard the bald man's shout, he suddenly woke up from his treasure-obsessed state, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he forced a smile, holding back the heartache, and bowed to Chen Tianfeng: "Brother, you are polite. If you like it, just take it."

Hong Lianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and suppressed the thought of activating the evil eye: "I have no objection, but you don't know that this thing is now bound to me... How about this, take me away, I will unbind it and give it to you?"

"Oh, thank you for your kindness, brother, but there's no need to go through so much trouble."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and looked at Hong Lianfeng. He knew that the best way to get information out of such a fierce desperado was to scare him.

He thought about it, grinned, and in front of Hong Lianfeng's dull and incredulous eyes, he picked up the evil eye, brought it to his mouth, opened his mouth, and bit it.

"Click——"

Hong Lianfeng watched the monster eat his evil eye like an apple. His heart was first filled with anger, then turned into fear. He no longer hesitated and immediately detonated the evil eye energy.

However, the energy accumulated in the evil eyes was incredibly docile at this moment. They rejected Hong Lianfeng's command and cut off the connection with him.

It's the taste of the earth veins. I thought I could taste what the evil eye tastes like... Chen Tianfeng felt a little regretful. He pinched the last bit of the evil eye fragments and threw it into his mouth. After licking his lips, he looked at Hong Lianfeng, whose eyes were becoming more and more terrified.

Very good, goal achieved.

Chen Tianfeng grinned and stared at the tense Hong Lianfeng: "Well, now we can talk about the matter of you guys knocking on my territory and disturbing my sweet dreams."
