Chapter 341 - Black Heart Post Station

Seeing the dishes the child brought over, Ling Xiao slightly narrowed his eyes.

This dish was colourfully coloured and seemed to be made with very fresh ingredients. Originally, the customers should have been very happy when they saw this kind of dish because they would definitely be in a good mood if they were able to eat such seemingly delicious food.

However, this place was merely a small inn. How could there be such fresh ingredients, and how could there be a chef capable of cooking such delicious food?

Ling Xiao looked at the table full of good dishes, but did not immediately raise his chopsticks, and instead started to carefully observe.

After placing the dishes on the table, waiter smiled and said, "The dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal, Guest."

To have so many people at this small relay station was a very strange question in itself. And to have such bright dishes as well was also a problem. It seemed that this small relay station was not simple at all.

After going through Ling Xiao's careful observation, he discovered that their movements and words were extremely rough, and they didn't seem to be serious people. Thus, they attracted Ling Xiao's attention and vigilance even more.

From the looks of it, this bunch of passersby were very likely just faking it.

Such a bright and beautiful dish could have been kidnapped from somewhere, or perhaps it was poisoned. In short, Ling Xiao knew that there was a problem with these dishes, so he basically did not choose to eat them.

After that, Ling Xiao set his gaze on the jug of wine.

"The quality of this wine seems pretty good. The wine pot that is filled with this wine is quite beautiful. It shouldn't be something that belongs here, right?" Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing that, waiter was startled, his body stiffened, and after a while he forced out a smile.

Guest, you have observed this wine very carefully. This wine is indeed not an ordinary wine, and it was gifted to this shop by a merchant who passed by earlier, I can tell that you have a very good temperament, and I think that you are not an ordinary person. This wine, it suits your disposition well, if you were to casually give such a good wine to someone, it would truly be a waste. Shop Waiter rubbed his hands and explained with a smile.

Facing Shop Waiter's explanation, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "I originally thought you were just an honest and honest waiter, but I didn't expect you to be so smart when you speak.

After Shop Waiter heard this, he could not help but become embarrassed, and then stuttered: "Guest, please enjoy, if there is anything else you need, please feel free to greet me."

With that, the Shop Waiter turned and left.

Ling Xiao looked at the wine in front of him and slightly squinted his eyes.

However, Ling Xiao was not worried about the poison, because he had the Iceworm's protection inside his body and the Divine Wood King Cauldron's support. No matter what kind of poison it was, Ling Xiao could easily deal with it and turn it into his own power.

However, Ling Xiao did not want to just ignore this matter. He also knew that the Shop Waiter alone would not be able to control the poison. If nothing went wrong, then everyone else in the room would be involved.

Therefore, Ling Xiao planned to put on a good show to let the people who were pretending to be out of it. This way, it would be easier for Ling Xiao to catch all of them in one go and not harm the innocent.

Thus, Ling Xiao poured a cup of wine and downed it in one gulp. After placing the cup down, he said with a satisfied expression on his face, "Mn, not bad, it's really good wine!"

After drinking one cup, Ling Xiao was about to pour another, but just as he was about to reach out his hand, before he could touch the wine pot, his entire body suddenly slumped down on the table, and stopped moving, as if he had fainted.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had stopped moving, the originally noisy relay stations immediately quietened down. With a "hua la" sound, they all stood up and surrounded Ling Xiao. The Shop Waiter who was serving the dishes also squeezed his way through the crowd.

"So close. I was almost recognized by this person. I thought I was smart, but I still wasn't smart enough." Shop Waiter looked at Ling Xiao with a slight frown and face full of disdain.

"This person is so generous from the start, he must have something valuable on him." A person said with a smile.

"I hope he is a rich man. This place is so remote that he can't even hunt wild game, and there are so few people passing by. If this goes on, we will all starve to death here sooner or later." A person beside him frowned and said.

Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately echoed his words.

"Then how should we deal with this person?" Shop Waiter asked.

Everyone then looked at a middle-aged man. He was thin and small, but his eyes were deep and full of spirit.

"Of course it's the same old way. After all, every time, you have to cook a table of good dishes in order to successfully deceive people." The middle-aged man said with a dark expression.

"Yes, boss." Everyone answered and immediately started to move out separately.

First, someone stretched out their hand to feel every inch of Ling Xiao's body, and finally found a few ingots of white silver, which caused everyone to cheer.

"Alright, there's nothing left. We can drag them away now." The person in charge of body search raised his hand and said.

Then the Shop Waiter and the two muscular men moved him to a thatched hut in the backyard of the relay station.

As soon as they entered the thatched cottage, a disgusting stench assaulted their noses. The ground was also covered in blood and pieces of meat. It seemed that quite a number of people had already died here.

Then, the two muscular men left, leaving Shop Waiter alone.

"Damn it, he's giving me this kind of dirty work again. If I didn't become a Shop Waiter and still had some money to take care of, I really would have been like a dog." When they left, the Shop Waiter immediately scolded them.

Shop Waiter then picked up the blade on the chopping board, only to discover that the blade's edge had become extremely dull. Helpless, he cursed a few more times, got up, and went to find a stone to grind the blade.

Although Ling Xiao was still unconscious and no one noticed that he was disguising himself, in reality, Ling Xiao had been paying attention to his surroundings the entire time. After Shop Waiter left, Ling Xiao stood up.

Looking at the extremely revolting and disgusting surroundings, Ling Xiao frowned. Then, with a face full of killing intent, he walked out of the thatched hut and headed towards the relay station.

At this time, Shop Waiter was still sharpening his blade, and did not notice that Ling Xiao had already walked out of the thatched cottage.

Inside the big room, the crowd was still clamoring. In the middle of them was a pile of clothes and bags filled with blood, it seemed to be the stuff of the dead. A strong stench spread out, as if it had been there for a long time.

On top of that, there were even bits of soil and rocks, as if they had been buried and then dug out.

However, the crowd did not care about it at all. Instead, they looked at it greedily.
