C869 Fatty Zhang
He saw a fat merchant dressed in fine silk clothing emerging from the ground. He had a chain of beads of considerable value from ordinary people around his neck and a fine leather top sticking out of his head.
When he saw Qin Loong and the others surrounding him, he was neither surprised nor afraid. He simply smiled and said, "Everyone, I am just an ordinary merchant.
Hearing his words, Qin Loong could not help but feel that it was a little strange, because the "Horse-Deer Horn" was the first secret code for them to connect with each other.
However, this person's appearance and aura was completely different from the information that Taoist Lord Taishang had shown them.
"I've heard of this' Horse-Deer Horn 'before. Isn't it a specialty of' Ox-tongue Bodyguard '?"
Qin Loong thought about it for a while and still decided to tell his the key response of the first secret signal, "Ox Head".
"Yeah, that's right, that's right. You guys really know what I'm talking about. Let me show you the information of my goods."
Hearing Qin Loong's words, the fat man was so happy that he started to take out a colored Spirit Stone.
Everyone knew that he was going to trigger the second signal, so they did not take action.
The fatty injected a bit of spirit energy into the multicolored Spirit Stone, and then, Qin Loong and the others simultaneously felt that the colourful Spirit Stone in his arms, that was the same as the fatty's, become warm.
"Since the second sigil has been completed, then …"
With that thought in mind, Qin Loong took a step forward and swung his right fist at the fatty's face.
However, the fat guy just stood there without moving. He didn't even blink.
Qin Loong's fist suddenly stopped right before it reached the tip of the fatty's nose.
This was not a secret technique or treasure that blocked Qin Loong, but something that he had stopped himself.
This was the third code.
Qin Loong's previous killing intent, speed, and degree of condensed spiritual energy were all real. Therefore, when he suddenly stopped, he blew on the fatty's forehead with his fist, causing his hair to stand on end.
However, the fat man still simply smiled at Qin Loong, and did not mind.
"Senior Zhang?"
Qin Loong asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, exactly, you are Qin Loong right?"
Fatty Zhang continued to look at Qin Loong with a smile.
Qin Loong had no choice but to believe that the other party was the one who helped them. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to decipher the third secret code the Taoist Lord Taishang had set up.
Especially the third signal, even if the enemy knew of it through some means, and thus impersonated a support team member. If they wanted to play the Boundless Way, they would probably have to consider whether the third signal was a trap, and the huge risk involved. Hence, they could not be as calm as Fatty Zhang just now.
"Senior Zhang, have you always been like this?"
Qin Loong had obviously not let down his guard yet, at this time, he asked such an ambiguous question, if Fatty Zhang was really the person from the data, then he would immediately understand that Qin Loong was asking about his looks and temperament, if not, then it was very possible that he was asking about some other aspect.
"Hehe, there is no need to test me. During this period of time, the situation is a little special, which is why I often change my appearance and at the same time cautiously come to meet all of you."
Hearing Fatty Zhang's words, Qin Loong finally believed him and apologized.
"There's no need to be like this, you should be like this. As expected of the young handsome man that Old Jun sent."
Fatty Zhang was not only not dissatisfied with this, instead, he was very pleased with Qin Loong's cautious attitude. He changed the topic and said seriously, "Although this place is safe, it's not a place where we can talk for a long period of time. You two should first head to the 'safe house', and then we can talk slowly."
Qin Loong nodded, then followed Fatty Zhang in a certain direction on the Great Prairie.1
He didn't know how Fatty Zhang had positioned himself, and brought them to a flat land that was covered with nearly all sorts of twists and turns. In the end, they stopped at a place that wasn't the slightest bit strange.
Deep in Fatty Zhang's right hand, he pointed towards the ground, and a strand of spirit energy entered the ground. Then, a hole opened up in the seemingly ordinary grass, revealing a hole.
Fatty Zhang was the first to jump in, followed by Qin Loong and the others.
After bringing them all into the hole, the turf on the top of the hole automatically restored. Qin Loong and the others immediately felt that it was pitch black in front of them, and then they seemed to be speedily gliding along a slide.
After approximately an incense's time had passed, Qin Loong finally saw a flash of light in front of him, and an exit.
"This place is indeed well hidden. Back in the slipway, whether it was my five senses or my spirit sense, it seemed to have disappeared. Furthermore, if it wasn't for Fatty Zhang leading the way, there probably would have been many traps."
Qin Loong briefly recalled the situation just now, and then, he focused as he began to size up the safe room.
Although the safe house was not small, it was very simple and only had a few beds and a few chairs. The other few doors were most likely some sort of washroom.
However, the strange thing was that there were dozens of mirrors on the walls of this safe zone.
Seeing Qin Loong's strange gaze, Fatty Zhang explained: "These are all surveillance mirrors that can see the locations of the key points near the safe houses."
After saying that, Fatty Zhang released a strand of spirit energy into one of the mirrors, and the mirrors instantly lit up, revealing a vast expanse of green grass.
Fatty Zhang pointed at a certain spot on the large patch of grass on the mirror and that spot quickly enlarged. Then, he turned to Qin Loong and said, "This is the place where you have just arrived at."
Seeing this, Qin Loong could not help but feel that this simple-looking Fatty Zhang was not simple.
Being able to lay down an unknown formation on the endless prairie was secondary. The key point was that in this place where there was no reference material, he could instantly distinguish any position clearly.
This person was worthy of being called one of the top spies in the world just for his intelligence.
Everyone sit down first, it's basically safe here. During this period of time, many major events have occurred in the water realm, and many of the water realm god s that we don't normally see have also been dispatched. Thus, it's still extremely dangerous outside.
After Fatty Zhang saw that everyone had entered the safe house, he finally relaxed a little and called for everyone to sit down.
"In the future, there will be many legends spread throughout the world. I believe you should know that there are signs of legends, right?"
Fatty Zhang began to solemnly share the latest detailed information with the rest.
