Illumi glanced at them from afar and said, "These two people were probably hanged after they died; it was definitely not suicide."

Fu Long nodded, agreeing with this viewpoint. After all, Illumi's family was an assassin family, and they had probably seen many ways people died.

"Was it attacked? And it's clearly not something a low-intelligence creature could have done."

"Be careful, everyone." After saying that, Felicity gave Lamoqi a look.

The look was subtle, but Fu Long noticed it. After all, Fu Long had been staring at Lamoqi a lot lately, and he wanted to figure out when Illumi would make his move.

So Fu Long noticed Felicity's gaze, but he remained cautious and said nothing.

Feli and Lamochi seem to have a special relationship.

"We are not afraid of any enemy. We have absolute defense and offensive capabilities. We are not afraid of anyone."

Absolute defense refers to Fu Long's nine-headed skull. To date, Fu Long's nine-headed skull has not been breached. Even when encountering stronger opponents, no one has ever succeeded in attacking Fu Long.

That's why he was called "absolute" by the others in the group.

"It's better to be careful," Fu Long advised, though it was unclear who he was referring to.

The group lined up, with Fu Long at the front this time, and the others following behind him, slowly making their way into the forest.

The mountainous woodland was not difficult to traverse, and it was extremely quiet all around; there wasn't a single bird or animal in sight.

Before long, Fu Long discovered that there was a cave ahead.

Ordinary caves wouldn't attract Fu Long's attention, but this cave was different. The light inside shone through the entrance, making it dazzling in the semi-dim forest.

"It feels like there's some treasure inside." Suti suddenly became interested; women are never immune to shiny things.

"Be careful, let Fu Long go and scout ahead first, but don't get too close."

Fu Long turned around and glared at Gunadi, who had spoken. "I don't care if you want to flatter Suti, but what do you mean by bringing me in here?"

Why should I pave the way, and then she has to accept your kindness?

"Thank you, Gunadi." Unexpectedly, Suti blushed.

"Hey, you guys, give me some leeway. I gave you orders to lead the charge, and now you're thanking him? Is that appropriate?"

Although I know that Enhancement and Alteration types are naturally attracted to each other, is this really a good thing for you two?

Suti glared at Fu Long with a fierce expression.

Fu Long shook his head, while Illumi covered his mouth and chuckled twice. However, when Fu Long looked again, he only saw Illumi's lifeless eyes.

Despite his anger, Fu Long still had to move forward, and he took the lead into the cave.

Nothing happened to the nine-headed skull, and Fu Long quickly entered the cave.

Inside the cave, a skeleton sat against the wall, and a dagger was stuck in the skeleton's ribs.

It is clear that this person was seriously injured before entering the cave, and subsequently died from his injuries.

Beside the skeleton, a small wooden box lay askew on the ground, its contents spilling out.

It was a round, bead-like object that shone with a dazzling silver light.

“This is one of the Ten Treasures of the Underground Scepter, the Silver Moonstone.” Illumi recognized it immediately.

"Silver Moonstone, that's... Oh no, get out of here!" Fu Long was about to ask Illumi when the nine-headed skull suddenly became agitated.

He wasn't attacked, but Fu Long's legs buckled and he collapsed to the ground. Was he poisoned?

Then, a charming giggle came from behind, and Felicity said softly, "What a lovely bunch of fellows, we actually found them."

"Yes, the Silver Moonstone, one of the Ten Treasures of the Underground Scepter, is now ours."

Chapter 16 Candidates for the Shadow Beast

Lamochi, he's actually in cahoots with Feli.

Looking at the Nian Rat at his feet, Fu Long immediately understood what had just happened.

His own nine-headed skull is not a problem in terms of defense, provided that the opponent attacks him first.

If Feli uses her poison to attack Fu Long, Fu Long's nine-headed skull will definitely be able to defend against it.

However, Felicity attached the poison to the Nian Shu, and the Nian Shu did not attack Fu Long, but simply climbed onto him.

Without any hostility, the nine-headed skull didn't react.

This is indeed a weakness; we need to be careful about it in the future.

Fu Long wasn't in a hurry, because his body had already developed antibodies to the poison when he obtained the Daoma Poison Sting.

He was poisoned because he wasn't prepared, but after he collapsed from the poison, his body's antibodies began to detoxify him, and they've already detoxified most of it. He just needs to hold on for a little while longer.

"Phili, Lamochi, what are you doing?" Gunadi shouted angrily.

It's unclear what kind of poison Felicia used this time. It wasn't fatal, but it could make people weak in the limbs and unable to move for a while.

Gunardi was also affected, and even Suti fell to the ground, looking at Feli and Lamochi with surprise.

"Hey, what are you pretending for? I don't believe that someone from your assassin family can't even cure this little bit of poison?" Fu Long said quietly, looking at Illumi lying not far from him.

That's too convincing. You know, his father was poisoned, but he could just squeeze it with his hand and tie his hair back so he could continue fighting. Illumi being poisoned? Nobody would believe it even if you beat me to death.

As a result, Illumi simply blinked indifferently and then stopped moving.

Fu Long breathed a sigh of relief. At least there were two people who could move without the other side knowing, which would catch them off guard.

At the same time, Fu Long was also very curious about the meaning of Lamoqi and Feli.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Phil, the Poisonous Butterfly of the Underworld."

"The Shadow Beast Ground Rat Ramoch".

The two men spoke with great pride, completely unaware that Fu Long had actually recovered and was now free of the poison.

"A Yin Beast? That's not right. There shouldn't be two of you among the ten Yin Beasts, right?"

I haven't encountered the Yin Beast Fu Long yet, but I've seen the manga and anime, and these two are definitely not among them.

Felicity and Lamoqi were both taken aback and looked at Fu Long: "You know about the Yin Beast?"

"Oh, so you two have heard of them, right?"

“A substitute,” Illumi added.

Oh, I see. After all, the Ten Elders couldn't possibly have only one Yin Beast unit under their command.

When Fu Long first saw the Ten Elders, he was also puzzled. Such a large operation, and they only prepared a team of ten Nen users? Wasn't that a bit too casual?

Seeing Felicity and Lamochi this time, I realized that they had substitutes, the so-called second-tier players. They were not as strong as the Yin Beasts, and if the Yin Beasts in front died, these people might be able to take their place.

"Hmph, we won't be candidates for long. As long as we bring this Silver Moonstone back, we'll definitely be able to join the regular ranks of the Shadow Beasts," Lamoqi said angrily.

Lamochi, being a release-type, was indeed careless and didn't realize that he had let something slip.

Felicity glared at Ramoch and said, "Shut up."

Lamoch took a few steps back, his face darkening. This time, the higher-ups had actually ordered that Poison Butterfly Feli be in charge, which made him very uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

Silver Moonstone, one of the components of the Underground Scepter.

Three years ago, the underground forces changed. Brown, one of the Ten Elders, was assassinated. However, the new leader who succeeded Brown could not find the Silver Moonstone that Brown was holding.

So the Ten Elders secretly issued an order: whoever finds the Silver Moonstone can truly succeed Brown and become one of the Ten Elders.

With the efforts of the underground forces, the location of the Silver Moonstone was soon discovered, and the one who took it was none other than Brown's son, Aurora Brown.

Hunted by underground forces and protected by his family, Aurora Brown escaped into District Six, where he and the Silver Moonstone disappeared.

Those in the underground forces all know that the Silver Moonstone is located in the sixth area of ​​the Curious Forest, but no matter how many people they send out to search for it, they haven't found it and many people have died.

Feli and Lamoqi were subordinates of one of the high-ranking members vying for the position of one of the Ten Elders. They knew that if they rashly entered the Sixth District, they would only die.

They happened to encounter Moriobi, so they sought help from Moriobi's expedition team to explore the area.

They had failed several times before, and even lost some people, but this time, they finally succeeded.

Once the Silver Moonstone is found, as long as it is returned to its owner, the owner will become one of the Ten Elders. They will also be rewarded for bringing back the Silver Moonstone and will become one of the Shadow Beasts.

Everything is so beautiful.

Looking at the four people lying on the ground, Felicity chuckled and said, "However, I can let you live a few more days. I happen to be short of human subjects for alchemy, so you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep and become my test subjects for cultivating toxins."

As she spoke, Felicity touched her lips with her hand and then unexpectedly struck at Fu Long.

The nine-headed skull instantly flew up and blocked the attack.

"How can this thing still be used?" Felicity exclaimed in surprise.

flaw.

Taking advantage of Fei Li's momentary lapse in concentration, Fu Long suddenly leaped up, quickly closing the distance to within a few meters. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a poisonous dart that struck Fei Li.

Felicity screamed in agony. She also used poison, but her poison was far less potent than that of the Horse-Slaying Poison.

Fu Long seized the opportunity, clenched his fist, grabbed the nine-headed skull, and hurled it at Feli.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use his fists, but Feli was covered in poison, and if he used his fists, who knew if he would be poisoned again.

Lamochi then realized what was happening, and with his hands in a claw shape and his wrists together, he pushed towards Fu Long.

A giant mind rat appeared, baring its fangs and claws as it charged toward Fu Long.

The Nen Rat that Ramoch used previously seemed harmless, but now it has become extremely ferocious.

If you were hit by such psychic power, it would be almost like being bitten by a giant rat; you'd probably end up with two extra holes in your body.

"Make your move." Fu Long was now using the nine-headed skull as a weapon, so he had nothing to protect himself.

Fu Long then looked at Illumi.

With a few soft popping sounds, Lamoqi's face and body were riddled with thorns.

His eyes widened in disbelief that he had been attacked. He looked in the direction from which the needles had come, and what he saw was Illumi's lifeless eyes.

Chapter 17 Leaving the Curious Forest

As expected of an assassin, the timing of his attack was absolutely perfect.
