345: The eight killers Han Tiannu appear in the world!

Shen Bei looked at the calm cabin again.

There was nothing but the sound of deep sleep.

Shen Bei lightly tapped the floor-length mirror. Zhuang Bifan, receiving the signal, also awoke from his sleep.

This was their agreed-upon signal.

Warning Zhuang Bifan to observe and be vigilant.

Then, Shen Bei closed his eyes again and went back to sleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

That chill emerged again, and before Shen Bei could fully awaken from his sleep, he heard a 'bang'.

When Shen Bei opened his eyes, the corner of his eye immediately caught Zhuang Bifan's stool retracting from the mirror's surface.

Shen Bei's gaze shifted to what was in front of him.

He saw.

A figure like a ball of black mist had a large hole smashed into it, like a sand sculpture weathered and falling apart, dropping pieces of thick, viscous liquid.

It seemed to be in extreme pain from Zhuang Bifan's stool attack, and the black mist continuously tumbled in the air.

"A ghost?"

But it didn't quite feel like it; it seemed to have a physical form.

Shen Bei didn't hesitate for a moment. Electricity burst from his palm, his left fist clenched, muscles and bones resonating, a powerful force condensed, and he thrust a punch forward.

"Bang!"

Whatever it was, the pure, positive electricity would definitely be useful.

The black shadow, already disoriented by Zhuang Bifan's stool, had no room to dodge Shen Bei's attack and was hit squarely by the punch!

Most of the black mist dispersed.

It dropped things like asphalt with a clatter.

"Sure enough, it's not a ghost..."

Just then, the heavily struck black shadow dropped many gold beans with a crackling sound.

Shen Bei suddenly realized, so this black shadow was a thief!

Shen Bei didn't press the attack. He swiped his hand across the ground.

He collected all the gold beans into his Storage Ring.

It was at this moment that the tattered black shadow drilled upwards along the ceiling.

Other Stranger passengers also heard the commotion from Shen Bei's side. Several Stranger woke up and looked at Shen Bei in confusion.

Shen Bei, deciding to go all the way, pointed at the black shadow on the ceiling and immediately shouted, "Don't sleep anymore! There's a thief!"

This shout was like a bugle call in a military camp. All the Stranger passengers sprang up and immediately checked their backpacks.

"Damn it, my gold beans are gone!"

"Mine are gone too!"

"The thief is a Essence Spirit! It's getting away!"

"Yellow-White Transportation Art?"

"Quick, chase it! This Essence Spirit must be returning to its master to claim our money!"

...

With a clatter.

All the Stranger in the cabin exploded into a frenzy.

Everywhere, thieves are like rats in the street, something to be shouted at and killed.

The angry Stranger immediately rushed out of the cabin and ran towards the second floor.

The second floor was where the private rooms were located.

Travelers who stayed here were all well-off.

Frugal Stranger stayed in the cabin.

Rich people stealing from the poor's money, this made the Stranger's emotions boil over.

Truly hateful!

These Stranger found the corresponding private rooms, kicked open the doors, and rushed in.

Shen Bei also followed behind the angry Stranger, looking up into the private room.

The private room wasn't large. Besides the door, there were two bunk beds hanging on the front and on each side.

In the middle was a small open space for people to move around.

Although it still looked quite cramped, it was at least much more spacious than the lower cabin. There were beds to lie on, a luxury the cabin didn't offer.

At this moment.

A group of Stranger rushed into the room.

They saw an Stranger sitting cross-legged on the floor, his fingers in a lotus position, and the ghost-like shadow was just behind him.

Caught red-handed!

The Stranger controlling the black shadow thief also had a somewhat unusual appearance.

His attire was not traditional Stranger clothing, but a black trench coat from the earth's surface.

Such clothing was not common in the crypt, but not rare either.

After all, clothing circulated from Wala Mountain might have passed through many hands, and the price wasn't cheap.

What was most striking about this Stranger were two fingernail-sized golden-yellow fleshy growths above his eyebrows.

Calling them fleshy growths, but in Shen Bei's eyes, they looked like undeveloped antlers.

However, Shen Bei found this person somewhat familiar, as if he had vaguely seen him somewhere before.

Shen Bei hid behind the crowd, pondering for a while, and finally remembered.

Wasn't this one of the Stranger in the team accompanying that human Martial Artist in the Cold Water Town tavern back then!

Shen Bei's gaze deepened, sweeping over each of them.

On the other beds in the room, his eyes grew more and more shocked.

At this time, the sleeping Stranger on the beds were also startled awake, looking at the intruding Stranger.

Indeed.

When Shen Bei's gaze fell on the lower bunk on the left, that human with the empty left arm was actually here!

Just then.

The Stranger, who were originally angry and wanted to reclaim their money, suddenly fell silent after seeing the face of the Stranger controlling the black shadow thief.

Some even instantly became grim and lifeless, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with vague unease.

Others' expressions changed several times, their bodies trembling like sieves, their faces devoid of any color.

And the group began to retreat in small steps, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Shen Bei was full of doubts.

What was going on?

They had their gold beans stolen, caught the culprit in the act, and that fierce, murderous energy from just now had disappeared?

"Maru Go, why are you stealing again?"

On a bed in the room, an Stranger yawned and said carelessly.

The black shadow controller, named Maru Go, lifted his chin, displaying a dissolute posture, his hands placed behind his back, his entire body leaning backward, looking playfully at the crowd at the door, and said with a smirk, "Gotta find some fun, right?"

"How troublesome."

The Stranger on the bed sighed, flicked his hand, and a handful of gold beans appeared in his palm. He then scattered them towards the doorway: "Whoever lost gold beans, take them yourselves. If there's more, consider it a reward; if there's less, just accept it. Take the money and get out!"

The Stranger at the door were silent, swallowing their saliva, looking directly into the room, and slowly squatting down to pick up the number of gold beans they had lost. As soon as they finished, they ran!

The amount of gold Maru Go stole wasn't much.

The few Stranger who lost money didn't dare to be greedy at all. If they lost five gold beans, they would never take six.

Soon, after these Stranger reclaimed their money, they scrambled out of the second floor.

"You, yes, you."

After the surrounding Stranger had all run away, Shen Bei was just about to try and blend in, reaching out to pick up the extra gold beans on the ground, when Maru Go lifted his eyelids and pointed at Shen Bei.

Shen Bei had also deduced from the Stranger's reactions that the identity of this group of Stranger was by no means simple.

Shen Bei's eyes immediately flickered, and he said with a smile, "I didn't mean to steal them, but to help you pick them up."

Maru Go laughed heartily, his strange accent echoing through the room: "No, not helping to pick them up, but returning my things to me."

Shen Bei's face stiffened. This guy could get a view while controlling the black shadow?

Pretty impressive!

But Shen Bei said, neither servile nor overbearing, "I still have to return those gold beans to their rightful owners."

"Hmm? Then what about the gold beans I just compensated?" Maru Go's smile didn't change as he asked curiously.

Shen Bei pointed to the Stranger on the bed and said, "Isn't that his reward?"

"Interesting..." Maru Go slowly stood up, smirking, "So you only listen to the latter half? It's only a reward if I compensated too much."

Shen Bei spread his hands: "I don't think it's too much."

"Yes," Maru Go's eyes flickered strangely, and he spoke in a gentle yet grand voice, "One more of you isn't too many. What do you think?"

"Enough."

The Stranger on the upper bunk reprimanded, "Maru Go, you're really embarrassing. Go back to your bed and sleep!"

Maru Go pouted, turned to look at the Stranger: "Gu Jiu, you're getting a bit too nosy."

The Stranger named Gu Jiu's tone was unfriendly: "Stop causing trouble for me. Don't force me to chase you back!"

Maru Go rolled his eyes, sighed, then turned and grinned at Shen Bei, making a throat-slitting gesture, before turning back to his bed, crossing his legs, and lying down.

Shen Bei's gaze fell on Gu Jiu.

This was a man with a rugged face, strong as an ox, appearing as an extremely wild and heroic figure, with a majestic and authoritative Aura, full of the demeanor of a superior.

At the same time, above his eyebrows, he also had two golden-yellow, horn-like growths.

Shen Bei had seen Stranger with horns before.

But this golden color of horns was truly a first.

"What are you looking at? Get out!"

Gu Jiu clearly had no patience for Shen Bei, reprimanding him.

Shen Bei's expression became solemn. He concisely pointed to the human and said, "Why is there a human here! Who is he? This is simply an insult to us! Have you forgotten the harm and aggression humans have inflicted upon us?"

Maru Go suddenly sat up with a 'thump' and chuckled, "You're quite righteous, kid. Do you understand what you're saying? How much do you know about the earth's surface world?"

Shen Bei's eyes were filled with sorrow: "I only know that humans are our sworn enemies, irreconcilable."

Maru Go laughed heartily: "Then you're wrong. Some humans are not only not enemies, but friends. For example, Heaven-Shaking Slave from the Headhunter Tribe, from the earth's surface world, is our sincere friend."

At this moment, Gu Jiu's face also looked displeased: "Maru Go, you're talking too much."

"Am I?" Maru Go shrugged: "Even if I told him, he wouldn't understand; it's like playing a lute to a cow. But some things still need to be explained, lest the common folk misunderstand us."

Gu Jiu snorted: "It's better than you stealing things and tarnishing our image."

"You're getting a bit too nosy."

"Go back to sleep!"

At this moment, Shen Bei's expression and body were stiff, his heart violently shaken as if by a raging storm.

He never expected that merely trying to extract information about that human.

He never thought it would be Heaven-Shaking Slave, one of the Eight Great Killers of the Headhunter Tribe, a name as renowned as Nine Lives Raven!

From where did this guy descend into the crypt? Why did he come here? What does he intend to do?

All these answers seemed unobtainable.

Because Gu Jiu had already given Shen Bei a final ultimatum, if he didn't leave, he would twist off Shen Bei's head and kick it like a ball.

Shen Bei recovered, taking one last look at Heaven-Shaking Slave.

Then, fully immersed in the role, he huffed a few times, grumbled, picked up the gold beans on the ground, turned, and left.

Returning to the lower cabin.

Shen Bei sat in the corner, a storm raging in his mind, constantly pondering Heaven-Shaking Slave's purpose in coming to the crypt.

After a while.

Shen Bei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the tidal surge of Shenxiu Lake.

It seemed... he had discovered Heaven-Shaking Slave's true purpose for this trip!
