Eternal Sword

Chapter 281 Hermit Island
The entire fight was extremely short, lasting only three or two breaths.

Under the gaze of everyone, several warriors just rushed forward, but were knocked away by Chen Tang's three punches and two kicks. They fell to the ground, and their life or death was unknown.

After a brief calm in the crowd, an even louder roar broke out!

"kill him!"

"Let's go together!"

"We don't need to do anything. I bet he won't survive today!"

Chen Tang looked at the excited and restless crowd around him and knew that it would be useless to explain anything now.

Whoosh!
At this moment, amidst the noisy and clamorous sounds all around, there was a very slight strange sound.

"Ok?"

If Chen Tang had not practiced the Wind-Listening Technique, the unusual sound would have been covered up by the voices of people around him and he would have hardly noticed it.

Chen Tang turned slightly sideways.

I saw a faint light shooting towards him, emitting a faint fragrance.

poisonous!

Chen Tang looked carefully.

This is a silver needle!
The next moment, the silver needle suddenly spread out and turned into more than a dozen poisonous needles as thin as cow hair, and the attack range expanded instantly!

Chen Tang's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a big step sideways to avoid the dozen or so poisonous needles that were so close.

This is no ordinary hidden weapon.

The hidden weapon is not only poisonous, but also tampered with!
Chen Tang didn't look at the direction where the poison needles were flying, but moved and rushed directly towards the crowd.

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, it knocked down a large group of people in an instant, and people and horses fell to the ground. Chen Tang stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man in the crowd.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with his hands behind his back. He had ordinary features and was unremarkable. He was the kind of person you would glance at once and then forget about.

When this person saw Chen Tang rushing towards him, he looked a little confused.

Chen Tang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he slapped the man on the head with his palm!

Seeing that Chen Tang had no intention of holding back, the confusion on this person's face disappeared instantly, and instead he became indifferent and calm, and stretched out his hand and swung it towards Chen Tang in mid-air.

Whoosh whoosh!
A hidden weapon flew towards Chen Tang at an extremely fast speed!

Then the man turned around and ran away, trying to blend into the crowd.

Chen Tang snorted coldly, and his body suddenly fell to the ground, avoiding the oncoming hidden weapon. He rushed forward again and slapped the man on the crown of his head with his palm!
Click!

With one palm strike, blood splattered!
The man collapsed to the ground and died.

In his hand, he was holding a bamboo tube as thick as a finger.

If Chen Tang guessed correctly, the original hidden weapon that could explode into more than a dozen poisonous needles was shot out from this bamboo tube.

This thing is a bit like a blowgun.

This person had just hidden the bamboo tube behind his back, with an expression of confusion and innocent eyes. Chen Tang actually had a hint of hesitation in his mind.

After all, he just determined the direction based on the Listening to the Wind Technique.

Without this slight hesitation, this person wouldn't even have the chance to throw out that hidden weapon!
Moreover, this person's move gave Chen Tang a sense of déjà vu.

Just after killing this man, there was a commotion among the crowd.

It was the dozen or so poison needles that had just hit the crowd, and several people were poisoned and fell to the ground, twitching all over.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

In just a few breaths, the faces of several people had turned purple and blue, with a trickle of black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. They were already dead!
What a powerful poison!

What surprised Chen Tang the most was the reactions of the people around him.

With so many people dead now, under normal circumstances, the crowd would have been frightened and dispersed long ago.

But the people around just became a little agitated and took a few steps back. Many people still stayed here, as if they were already accustomed to all this and were not surprised at all.

"Give me, let me!"

Just then, a man and a woman squeezed into the crowd.

The man said loudly: "Everyone, disperse, this is a misunderstanding. He is not a spy from Shenzhou, but a member of our Shen family. On the way here, he accidentally fell into the sea, but I didn't expect him to come back alive."

As he spoke, a man and a woman came to Chen Tang.

The woman whispered, "Don't give yourself away. Come with us."

Chen Tang didn't recognize either of them.

But until now, he was still confused and knew nothing about this place. Since someone had come forward, he might as well go with the flow and find an opportunity to get some useful information from the two people.

Chen Tang said nothing and followed the two of them outside.

"Someone from the Shen family?"

"Why does your accent sound wrong to me?"

There were still some doubtful voices coming from the crowd.

However, it seemed that this couple had some important background, and the people around them did not stop them, allowing them to leave with Chen Tang.

"Thank you both."

When they were a little further away, Chen Tang said softly, "What are your names?"

"Just call me Xiao Pu."

The woman smiled, looked at Chen Tang with some curiosity, and asked, "Are you really from Shenzhou?"

Chen Tang nodded.

After all, there are too many flaws in his accent, hair, clothes, and other aspects of his body. It is impossible to hide this, so it is better to admit it frankly.

"My name is Yin Da."

The man seemed unhappy and asked sullenly, "What's your name?"

"Chen Tang."

Chen Tang replied, and asked, "Where are we going? A few people died over there. Will there be any trouble?"

"will not."

Xiao Pu said, "In the Hermit Island, death is too common and no one cares. When the time comes, there will be special corpse collectors to deal with the bodies."

Hermit Island?

Chen Tang thought for a while and thought of a possibility.

When he was in Wu'an County, he encountered an assassin and learned a secret about the Dongyi tribe from Qingmu.

The Dongyi people are best at assassination, and these killers are also called hermits.

It is said that the Dongyi people had nowhere to hide under the encirclement and suppression of Emperor Wu, so they crossed the sea to the east and disappeared.

This place is called Hermit Island, perhaps it is related to the Dongyi tribe of that time.

Xiao Pu continued, "Our young lady wants to see you."

At this moment, the three of them had already arrived under the cargo ship.

Chen Tang looked up.

Such a huge cargo ship is indeed difficult to build and maintain if the family does not have enough strength.

In this era, the manpower and material resources required for a cargo ship alone are unimaginable.

"Go find you some clothes to wear and take a shower."

After getting on the cargo ship, Xiao Pu took Chen Tang to a room, asked the servants to boil some hot water, and found a new piece of clothing and put it aside.

"Are there any fruits or anything to eat?"

Chen Tang asked.

"I'll get you some later."

Xiao Pu agreed with a smile.

After a while, two girls came in with several fruit plates. Some of the fruits were ones Chen Tang had never seen before. They might be local specialties.

The two girls in the room wanted to stay and help Chen Tang bathe, but he drove them out.

He was used to doing things like this by himself.

Chen Tang checked around the room, picked up a few fruit plates, observed them for a moment, smelled them, and didn't find anything wrong before eating.

Being in a foreign place and knowing nothing about the owner of this cargo ship, it is better to be cautious.

In a short while, Chen Tang washed and dressed, tied the dragon tendon around his waist as a belt, picked up a sharp knife on the table, shaved his beard, and tied his hair into a bun.

He then grabbed a piece of cloth, wrapped the dragon skin, put it on his back, tied a knot in front of his chest, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

A servant had already been waiting at the door, taking Chen Tang to the top deck of the ship.
