One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding beam of flashlight light shone directly into his face!

"Oh my god!"

A surprised voice rang out in the corridor.

Zhang Chulan was holding a flashlight, with Feng Baobao, who had just come out of the outhouse, standing beside him, as well as Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, who had been brought along to accompany him.

All four people's eyes were fixed on the upside-down figure.

The scene was quite awkward!

The upside-down posture was as comical as could be.

His mouth was wide open, his lips pressed against the stone bricks, his hands still in a "hugging" posture, and there was even a clear liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was in love with the wall.

"..."

Zhang Chulan's flashlight beam shone twice on his upside-down face, leaving him speechless.

"Hey, you purple-haired buddy."

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, his tone filled with bewilderment at interspecies behavior:

"What...what are you doing? Are you having a pica attack?"

"I was just outside and I wanted to take two bricks with me, but Old Wang said they weren't worth anything."

"How come you're even more ruthless than me, just going straight for the bite?"

The reaction time when hanging upside down is also extremely fast.

He yanked his mouth off the wall with a pop, then wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth.

Without batting an eye, he immediately adopted a serious expression.

"You've misunderstood! It's a huge misunderstanding!"

He stood upside down, then solemnly patted the stone brick he had gnawed on, and declared:

"I saw the fighting outside was fierce! I was worried that the city's defenses were in disrepair, so I came in to help with a structural inspection!"

"That was using the tongue to sense the structure and determine if there were cracks in the walls! It's a sophisticated Western architectural inspection method that you wouldn't understand!"

His nonsense is even more outrageous than Zhang Chulan's.

Wang Ye rolled his eyes and picked at his ear with his little finger.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. What are you even talking about?"

Zhuge Qing squinted as he examined the upside-down figure.

"However, the flow of energy around you just now was quite interesting. Where did you learn that greedy, devouring feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Daodiao's heart sank.

These young men who look like lackeys actually have such a sharp eye!

I only revealed a trace of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief's aura, and it was seen through?

Chapter 286 Hanging Upside Down: This is My Treasure Hunting Secret Technique!

In the dimly lit corridor.

The atmosphere was stuck at a very delicate critical point.

Zhuge Qing tapped his palm with his folding fan intermittently.

His squinting eyes scanned the upside-down figure like an X-ray machine.

Faced with this soul-searching test, the upside-down man felt a chill run down his spine.

These young people don't look like they're anything special, but they're definitely not pushovers!

If you keep making things up in front of these shrewd people, Zhang Chulan will probably have a knife to your throat in the next second.

"Think faster! Hurry up!"

It roared in my heart, hanging upside down.

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Chulan's bulging pocket, and a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.

Yup!

This kid is usually the greediest!

"cough!"

He suddenly straightened up from being upside down, and the embarrassment and guilt on his face vanished instantly.

He smoothly adopted a sly grin that seemed to say, "Since we're all on the same page, I won't pretend anymore."

Then he glanced around furtively, lowered his voice, and leaned closer.

"Gentlemen, your eyesight is truly amazing; nothing can be hidden from you."

The man rubbed his hands together, pointed to the pockmarked wall he had gnawed, and shared his grand plan to make a fortune:

"To be honest, I wasn't checking for cracks at all. I was extracting nutrient solution!"

"Nutritional solution?" Zhang Chulan was taken aback. "What brand of nutrient solution requires eating plaster from the wall?"

"This isn't ordinary wall plaster!"

He patted the brick upside down and said excitedly in a low voice:

"The foundation of this royal city is directly connected to the root system of the Nathan Tree! This place is right at the point where energy overflows, and what seeps out is the purest 'essence of the divine tree'!"

"This stuff, one bite and you're instantly refreshed! Two bites and you're never tired again! Three bites and you'll live forever..."

"Exaggeration!" Wang Ye couldn't help but interrupt the upside-down boasting.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I don't exaggerate!"

"In short, I was just using a secret method to forcibly extract the essence from it, intending to take it back to offer to the Heavenly Emperor!"

These words were spoken.

Zhang Chulan's eyes, which had been wary, suddenly lit up.

It's like a wolf that's been starving for three days suddenly seeing a piece of delicious meat; its eyes are practically glowing with greed!

"The essence of the divine tree?"

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, instantly forgetting what had just happened.

He roughly pulled the upside-down figure aside.

"Hey, you foreigner, why didn't you say you had such a good thing sooner!"

"Get out of the way, let me see!"

Before Zhang Chulan could even get close...

Feng Baobao, who was standing next to her, had already squatted down in front of the brick.

Without any unnecessary words, she stuck out her tongue and licked a large mouthful of the slightly shiny brick.

"Sister Bao'er!" Zhang Chulan was startled.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing stared wide-eyed, thinking, "This girl is really bold! She'll put anything in her mouth?!"

After licking it, Feng Baobao smacked her lips cutely twice, as if she was savoring it carefully.

A moment later, she turned around and gave her evaluation in a serious tone:

"Hmm, it's a bit sweet. It makes my stomach feel warm after eating it; it's definitely a good thing."

With Bao'er's authoritative certification as a "human quality inspector," Zhang Chulan felt completely confident.

"Good heavens, King Nathan is so uncouth! He has such fine local specialties hidden away at home but doesn't even bring them out to entertain our advisor!"

"Since nobody wants this wild essence, then I won't be polite!"

While Zhang Chulan was angrily condemning the attack, he swiftly drew a knife from the pouch at his waist.

He turned to look at the two people behind him and immediately issued the battle plan:

"Old Wang! Old Qing! What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"

"We've come all this way, we can't go back empty-handed. Hurry up, while King Nathan is busy outside, let's pry off a few pieces of high-quality gold to take back and make tea for the advisor!"

Wang Ye put one hand to his forehead, watching Zhang Chulan holding a knife, ready to pry open the corner of the wall, and felt his eyelids twitching.

"Old Zhang, your behavior is really disgusting. We're here representing the company to attend the ceremony, and you're picking at the floor tiles in the corridor of their main hall. How am I supposed to face people in Beijing's business circles if word gets out?"

"What do you know! This is called strategic material recycling! Anyway, Nathan Island is going to be taken over by those Americans, so why not take advantage of it!" Zhang Chulan retorted confidently, the tip of his knife already wedged into the brickwork.

Zhuge Qing accepted it well.

Instead of stopping him, he elegantly snapped his fingers, igniting a foxfire, and deliberately moved closer to the wall.

"Old Wang, since we're here, let's make the best of it."

“I’ll set up the lighting. The energy flow inside this wall is quite interesting. It wouldn’t be beneath me to take a look at it.”

Looking at these three young people who were interrogating him one second and then transformed into a demolition team the next.

The person standing upside down was completely dumbfounded.

He touched his chin and sighed deeply in his heart:

"Are they government officials? The more they look at them, the more they resemble bandits!"

"Click, click, click..."

In the corridor, Zhang Chulan's face was flushed as he desperately pried at the large blue brick with a knife.

Feng Baobao, holding a shovel, stood by and helped to pry it down at the right angle.

However, the upside-down figure had just forcibly absorbed the energy from the wall using the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, unintentionally disrupting the original balanced energy array patterns in this area.

Now they're being tormented by the brute force of Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

"Boom..."
