Swire Overlord

Chapter 259

The room fell into silence again, and the cold wind "whistling" was blowing, which sounded particularly penetrating.

Black shadows would appear in front of the window from time to time, but Zhao Yufan and the others remained motionless and continued to cook, seemingly ignoring the black shadows.

The black shadow outside the window seemed to be tireless, it would appear every few minutes throughout the night, and sometimes it would rush into the house to intimidate several people.

The sky was slightly bright, and the heavy snow was still continuing. The eyes of Zhao Yufan and the others were a little red. They hadn't slept all night. It wasn't that they didn't have a chance to sleep, but they couldn't sleep at all.

The black shadow kept harassing them at night, and even during the day. Zhao Yufan and the others were very confused. Isn't this black shadow tired?
No one knew whether Soi Ying was tired or not, anyway, he took pleasure in intimidating Zhao Yufan and the others, as if it was a kind of pleasure.

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the heavy snow outside has not stopped, but has fallen even more urgently.

Gradually, Zhao Yufan and the others got used to the shadows, and sometimes they felt abnormal when the shadows didn't appear.

Everyone gathered in front of the bonfire, eating and discussing the origin of the shadow.

Several people had different opinions, but Zhao Yufan never participated in the discussion.

"What do you think?" Han Bingyue asked suddenly.

Zhao Yufan stirred up the bonfire with a wooden stick, and calmly analyzed: "This person is about 1.6 meters tall, with a curved back and a vicissitudes of voice. He should be an old man. He deliberately threatened us, but he did not cause any substantial harm to us. He doesn't want us to die, so it can be seen that he hasn't seen human beings for a long time, that is to say...he has lived here for a long time, and he is very lonely, so he deliberately played us and got fun from it."

"A strong man is willing to stay in this kind of place. I guess there is some last resort. The main reason is that he was threatened by some people. To be precise, he should be threatened by some forces."

After listening to Zhao Yufan's analysis, everyone looked at him in astonishment, feeling that his words made some sense, but were they right?Then it is not clear.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a gust of wind mixed with white snow rushed in. At the same time, a black figure flashed in front of Zhao Yufan faster than the gust, grabbed his collar, turned and left.

Come fast, go fast.

Within a breath, Zhao Yufan and the black shadow disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Zhao Yufan being snatched away by the shadow, Han Bingyue and the others turned pale with fright. Regardless of the danger outside, they got up and went to look outside.But they searched around, but couldn't find any trace of Zhao Yufan.The outside was covered with snow, there should have been some footprints left, but within a radius of one mile, there were no footprints.

A chill filled their bodies, and they didn't know whether Zhao Yufan was alive or dead, so they could only keep searching.

In the dark world, Zhao Yufan woke up slowly, and in front of him was a candle with a faint yellow light.He looked around and saw everything around him clearly in an instant. Although the surroundings were dark, his vision was very sharp and his hearing was also very sharp.

This place seems to be deep underground. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water flowing from the stone wall, and it is windy and snowy outside, but you can't hear any wind here, and it's not too cold.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the entrance of the cave, and it was not the footsteps of one person, but the footsteps of four people. Their footsteps overlapped, as if there was a magical power, which made Zhao Yufan drowsy.

"Are you awake?" The voice came in before the man reached the entrance of the cave.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yufan replied, he was very clear about the current situation, he had no secrets to speak of in front of this group of people, the only thing that puzzled him was that the group of people brought him here and did nothing to him, He hadn't even taken off the mask, which he was sure of, since he knew exactly where it was on his face.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and four people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.They are the same four people, they have the same clothes, the same face, the same height, the same voice, and the same hairstyle, there seems to be no difference.

Seeing the four of them, Zhao Yufan finally understood why Heiying didn't know how tired he was, because they had been teasing them all the time. These four should be quadruplets. Judging from their faces and expressions, they should be very strong. Their strength is comparable, maybe they are the generation of Elder Yunhai.

There was silence in the cave, and after a long time, one of the old men said, "You are a sword demon, a sword demon in the snowy land, and you are friends with Zhao Yufan, a genius from the imperial capital."

Zhao Yufan's expression was a little dull. He stared at the four old men wearing black veils, nodded silently, and then asked, "Excuse me, why don't you take off my mask?" This matter is very important to him, so he must ask clearly.

An old man said: "They are all people who live under a mask. Why should we expose you? What's the use of seeing your face?"
Zhao Yufan first heard that this person spoke in the same voice as the previous old man.These four old people should not be hostile to him, maybe they want to cooperate with him, as for what cooperation is, it is not clear yet.

Seeing that Zhao Yufan was silent, the four old people introduced: "Let's introduce ourselves. We are called Four Ghosts, and we are all called Four Ghosts. Calling one person is equivalent to calling four people."

"To live and die together?"

Zhao Yufan asked suddenly.

The four showed the same expression and laughed.

After a long time, none of the five people spoke, they just stared at each other silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yufan even heard the sound of running water dripping through the stone wall, and could vaguely hear the sound of "tick tick tick" echoing in his ears.

Finally, the four ghosts spoke.

"You guessed right, we are trapped here, so we need your help. I heard that your alchemy can surpass Master Yunlong, so your grade should be higher than Master Yunlong, right?"

Zhao Yufan was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Although he can refine more pills than Master Yunlong, it does not mean that his grade is higher than Master Yunlong. "Not necessarily, I just refine pills better than Master Yunlong." The amount of medicine is just too much, as for what level of alchemist I am, I don't know myself, if you have a strange poison in your body, you can tell me, but I can't guarantee that I can help you."

"You are very honest!" said the four ghosts.

The four got acquainted with each other, and finally decided to tell Zhao Yufan their secret: "Then take a look at our illness."

Zhao Yufan walked forward cautiously, and began to see the four ghosts from the right side. After seeing the physical condition of the four ghosts, he thought for a long time without saying a word.

"Can't it be cured?"

Zhao Yufan didn't answer, but smiled bitterly: "Hehe...it's easy to cure diseases, but it's hard to get the medicinal herbs for them."

"You should have been poisoned with 'Millennium Tiredness'! This poison can make life worse than death and control people's thinking. It is said that this toxin can only be suppressed in extremely cold places. This should be because you have been in the snow for a long time. I can detoxify this poison, but I don’t have the antidote herbs, and with my strength, it is impossible to find those precious herbs.”
