Chapter 168 Old Tang
Chapter 168 Old Tang
"My name is Lao Tang, and I am a senior bounty hunter on the Hunter Network."
The person offering the reward said it would be very easy for me to do, and if I hadn't been spotted by a man just now, I almost would have believed them!
Old Tang fled in a disheveled state, his arms and legs feeling weak from running.
"I have a clear feeling that this man is terrifying. If he catches up with me, my life may be in danger!"
“I discovered a long time ago that all kinds of creatures in life, from cockroaches to African elephants, instinctively fear me, and I am not afraid of these creatures.”
"This is the first time I've ever felt this way, afraid of other creatures."
"Ah it hurts!"
Ye Jingchen flew over and kicked Old Tang in the butt, sending him rolling more than ten meters away on the ground!
Old Tang pressed himself against the wall and slowly landed, feeling a numb sensation in his buttocks, as if he had lost consciousness.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Jingchen, saying, "Good brother, we're all just trying to make a living."
"Green hills and clear waters are always a source of affection; please let me off the hook!"
Ye Jingchen rushed over, stomped on Old Tang's chest, and looked down at the Asian man's handsome face, "What's your name?"
Old Tang raised his hands, "Brother, let's talk this out. Just call me Old Tang!"
Upon hearing this title, Ye Jingchen raised an eyebrow instantly. It was like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it appear effortlessly!
Inner monologue: "Norton, you little bastard!"
"I'm giving you two options now, kid."
The first option is to become my underling and follow me.
The second option is to kill you right now. I'll find a secluded corner here and hide you away!
Upon hearing this, Old Tang's pupils instantly contracted, becoming vertical and needle-like like those of a snake or lizard, before returning to the size of an ordinary person's pupils in an instant.
Old Tang's inner monologue: "We're doomed, we've run into a tough nut! Survival is the priority, let's acknowledge him as our leader first, as long as we're alive, we can always fight another day!"
Old Tang hugged Ye Jingchen's leg, feigning sincerity, "Big brother! You're my real big brother!"
"This young man is teachable!" Ye Jingchen smiled at Old Tang and nodded. "Get up quickly!"
Ye Jingchen reached out and helped Old Tang up.
Old Tang seemed a little uncomfortable, his shoulders slumped, glancing at Ye Jingchen from time to time, like a child at a loss in front of an adult.
Ye Jingchen patted Old Tang on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, you're my little brother now, I'll take care of you if anything happens!"
With that, Ye Jingchen grabbed Old Tang's shoulder and headed back the way they came.
In the main room, Shudeya and Chen Motong looked at Lao Tang with wary expressions.
Chen Motong reached into his tool bag, grasped the small Glock pistol, and quietly aimed the muzzle at Old Tang behind Ye Jingchen.
"Ye Jingchen, this must be the guy who left the footprints earlier!"
Be careful!
Ye Jingchen held onto Lao Tang's hand tightly, saying, "Xiao Tang and I are brothers. You should both relax and not make things so tense."
As Ye Jingchen spoke, he turned to look at Old Tang and smiled faintly, "Right, Little Tang?"
"Little... Tang?" Old Tang was taken aback. He was a well-known figure on the Hunter Network, and he found it hard to accept being called a "little henchman."
However, Lao Tang immediately came to his senses and awkwardly smiled at Ye Jingchen, saying, "Big brother is right, both ladies don't need to be nervous."
I'll go wherever my brother points, and I'll do whatever my brother says!
Big brother, loyalty!!!
Ye Jingchen was quite pleased with Lao Tang's performance, patted Lao Tang on the shoulder, and smiled smugly.
Chen Motong and Jiu Deyaji exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.
Chen Motong's inner monologue: "Going out to chase after them, and they bring back a lackey?"
Aki's inner monologue: "Brothers... I've never heard Ye Jingchen mention such a person before..."
The people who have appeared around Ye Jingchen recently are all quite remarkable.
This young Tang is definitely not simple!
Ye Jingchen's inner monologue: "Xia Mi is here, Norton is here, and Fenrir will probably be here soon too. What a vibrant and flourishing world!"
Thinking of this, Ye Jingchen couldn't help but put one hand on his hip and smile.
"Alright, enough talk, let's get ashore!"
Ye Jingchen held Norton's hand tightly and walked at the back of the group.
Upon reaching the exit of the "Rubik's Cube," there stood a gargoyle.
This gargoyle is different from ordinary gargoyles.
A sword was stuck in its chest.
At the exit, apart from the gargoyle with the sword stuck in the stone, there was nothing else.
Clearly, this is the switch.
Jiudeya looked at the hilt of the Sword in the Stone, glanced at Ye Jingchen, then at Norton, and said cryptically:
"Commissioner Ye, didn't you always manage to get in through special means before?"
"Shall we try it again?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchen shook his head, looked at Norton and smiled, "You two don't know, but picking locks and other mechanisms is Little Tang's specialty!"
"Little Tang, go!"
Looking at the strange stone gargoyle, Old Tang waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no! Brother, how could I know how to do this!"
"If I say you can do it, then you can do it. A man can't say he can't!" After Ye Jingchen finished speaking, he released Norton's arm and pushed Norton towards the gargoyle.
As luck would have it, Norton was trying to maintain his balance.
Reaching out, he grabbed the hilt of the sword in the stone that was stuck in the gargoyle's chest!
Anyone who has watched a sword forging competition knows that the handles of swords are meticulously crafted; if they are too big or too small, they won't fit comfortably. Clever contestants will silently memorize the judge's hand size when shaking hands and then craft their sword handles accordingly, ensuring the judge has the best possible grip.
The size of the sword hilt in the stone fit perfectly into Old Tang's palm.
This comfortable grip made Old Tang raise an eyebrow, "I love touching Libobo!"
The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no
Ask more questions, do more, and refuse to take the blame.
Old Tang glanced back at Ye Jingchen, unsure of what would happen if he pulled out the sword from the stone.
"Big brother, I'm going to draw my sword, but I can't. Don't blame me if I can't!"
Ye Jingchen's inner monologue: "You can definitely pull out this sword from the stone!"
Ye Jingchen looked at Old Tang, nodded, and replied, "Just draw your sword. Once you've drawn it, whatever happens is on me!"
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that from you, Big Brother!"
Norton gripped the hilt of the Sword in the Stone tightly, placed one foot on the gargoyle's belly, and began to exert force...
Music: "Regentropfen sind meine Tr?nen……"
(The raindrops turned into my tears...)
