Chapter 205: Suicide by Taking Poison

"Give me a glass of the strongest liquor!"

Chen Ping sat on a chair at the bar, looking at the lady boss who was mixing drinks.

"Are you sure? The strongest liquor here is Bloody Mary. Even if a person never gets drunk after drinking a thousand glasses, just one drop can make him sleep for ten days and ten nights!" Ella's fiery red lips raised a slight arc.

"Sure!" Chen Ping did not hesitate.

Ella put down the cup in her hand and took a new cocktail shaker.

She poured the high-strength liquor that she had treasured for many years into the copper cocktail shaker, and then added a few drops of chili juice from the deep sea. It was a strange fruit that could only be found in the darkest underwater caves. It was extremely spicy, but it could stimulate the layering of the wine.

Next, a pinch of salt crystals was gently sprinkled in. These salts were extracted from the heart of the salt lake, which could balance the spiciness and add a touch of fresh sea breeze.

Ella's eyes were focused, her technique was light and precise, and every step was just right.

Then, she took a piece of fresh grapefruit peel and gently wiped it around the edge of the wine pot, releasing a hint of fragrance, which formed a sharp contrast with the strong liquor.

Finally, she carefully took out a small bottle from the storage box, mixed the blood of several kinds of fierce beasts, and slowly poured it into the whole cocktail, adding a fatal temptation.

"Sir, taste it slowly!" Ella pushed the cup in front of Chen Ping.

"Xiao Hei, are you sure it's okay?"

"Of course, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and there is a lot of fierce beast blood in it, which is a tonic, no problem!"

Xiao Hei vowed.

While Ella was mixing the cocktail, Xiao Hei had already flown into Chen Ping's mouth.

Chen Ping raised the wine glass, took a sip first, and nodded.

"Gulp!"

"It's really good wine!"

Chen Ping took another big sip, and after entering the mouth, Xiao Hei basically swallowed it.

He pretended to wipe the corners of his mouth, and by the way, he let Xiao Hei out and put him in his arms.

"Sir, you really have a good alcohol tolerance!"

Ella looked at Chen Ping, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Boss lady, you are too kind. This is indeed the best wine I have had in all these years!" Chen Ping complimented.

"Sir, I don't know you. Is this your first time in Lionheart City?" Ella stood opposite Chen Ping with interest and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I came here with the Holy Healer. She is looking for clues to the fragments of the stone tablet. I am here to help her find out!"

Ella looked at Chen Ping, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a faint smile, very tempting.

"I'm not interested in that holy healer, I just want to hear your story!"

"It's a long story!"

"Please tell me slowly, I have plenty of time!"

Chen Ping thought for a while and cleared his throat: "My family is in the bitter cold land of northeast China. When I was twelve years old, I found that I could use the power of stars and became the hope of my family's future. But half a year later, I could no longer sense the power of stars. Suddenly, I fell from heaven to hell. Even my fiancée came to humiliate me and forced me to break off the engagement!"

"As the saying goes, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. I met an old man..."

Chen Ping's story was vivid and colorful. Not only Ella was fascinated, but even Keher took it seriously.

Chen Ping's voice stopped abruptly when he talked about the three-year agreement with his fiancée and went to break off the engagement.

"Why did you stop? Then?"

Ella and Keher said in unison.

"Boss lady, I've been talking for so long, I want to hear your story too!"

"My story isn't as exciting as yours, but I can tell you about the origin of Lionheart City..."

According to Ella's introduction, Lionheart City is the real hometown of the holy healers. There is a huge lion statue in the center of the city, which represents the holy healers who fought against the demons.

Lionheart City is also the last holy place where humans and gods once talked.

Although the introduction is very detailed, it has nothing to do with the clues Chen Ping wants.

"The sacrifices of the holy healers all originated from the war with the demons, which was later called the echo of the hammer of fate. The war lasted for thousands of years, and countless people prayed devoutly, but the gods never appeared!"

"While the various tribes were fighting the demons, they were all trying to seize the star fragments, and finally six people found the star fragments, and later they were called the chosen heroes of God!"

"They are really powerful. In the absence of gods, they led the various tribes to defeat the demons and forced them back to the demon world!"

"There are seven star fragments in total!" The information of the last undiscovered star fragment is on the stone tablet of Lionheart City. At the beginning, more than a dozen of us escorted the stone tablet into Lionheart City, but a rash guy actually broke a piece of the stone tablet. It was not discovered until it was transported into the city! "

"Just when we went back to find the whereabouts of the stone tablet fragments, the six gods' chosen heroes had completely defeated the demons. Although the star fragments have infinite power, they also carry a powerful curse, so... we gave up the search. "

Ella said slowly.

"No one has searched for the stone tablet fragments so far?" Chen Ping asked.

"The guy who broke the stone tablet is called Qingta. After the end of the Life Hammer War, he fled outside the city and became a bandit. Maybe he broke the stone tablet intentionally. "

"Moreover, there is a bounty mission issued by the city lord. Even if you don't get any news, you can get a generous reward by killing that guy! "

Chen Ping nodded. After wasting so much time, he finally got some results.

After leaving the tavern, Chen Ping sent a message to the other four teams to gather in the north of the city.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered again at the north gate of Lionheart City.

"This is the clue we have collected so far!"

Ma Zi clicked on the scarlet bracelet and sent some messages to Chen Ping.

"This is ours!"

Xue Na and others also sent the messages they got to Chen Ping.

After quickly summarizing everyone's information, Chen Ping could basically conclude that the clues about the fragments of the stone tablet should be in the hands of the person called Qingta.

There was only a deep mountain in the north of the city, and everyone easily found the nest of the Green Lion Group.

"Xiao Hei!"

Chen Ping called a few times and found that Xiao Hei was unconscious at this time and was drunk as mud.

"Your alcohol tolerance..."

Chen Ping was too lazy to complain. He originally wanted Xiao Hei to go and see the situation first, and then start to act after knowing himself and the enemy. Now he can only make other plans.

"You wait here first, I'll go into the mountain to check and understand the specific strength of the opponent, and then kill them!" Ma Zi said first.

"Then we keep in touch at any time!" Chen Ping thought for a while and finally nodded.

Ma Zi changed a machete and walked out carelessly.

"Hey, our captain is born to be a bandit!" Ye Shengge hid behind the bushes and watched Ma Zi walk out.

"That's right, he even saved the steps of makeup. If he claims to be the mountain king here, no one will not believe it!" Duan Zixuan nodded seriously.

In a blink of an eye, Ma Zi walked to a cave. According to the information he got from chatting along the way, the bandit leader Qingta usually lives in this cave.

"Who is it! The boss is..."

"Pah!"

A little bandit just stopped Ma Zi, and Ma Zi gave him a big fight without hesitation.

"Damn it, when did you go up the mountain? You don't even recognize me?"

"I... I've been up the mountain for more than a year!" The bandit who was slapped by Ma Zi was a little dizzy. Seeing Ma Zi's momentum, he didn't even have the courage to question.

"Pa!"

Ma Zi slapped him again: "I've been up the mountain with Qingta for more than ten years. Have you drunk too much horse urine? You dare to stop me?"

"My Lord... My Lord, I don't know the real man!"

"Get out!"

"Yes... Yes, my Lord!"

The little bandit covered his face and retreated repeatedly until he reached the entrance of the cave, and then he realized: "My Lord, it seems that I have only been up the mountain for five years..."

In the cave, Ma Zi stood at a corner and vaguely heard two people talking.

"My Lord, this is the fragment of the Star Soul Stele!"

"Well, as long as the steles are combined, we can see the clues of the star fragments!"

Ma Zi immediately informed Chen Ping of the information here through the scarlet bracelet.

"The fragments of the stone tablet are here. The bracelet shows that the bandit leader is a platinum two-star. In addition to him, there is another person wearing a black robe. His strength is unknown. It is beyond the detection range of the bracelet. He is at least a platinum five-star, or even a diamond rank!"

In addition to the news about the cave, Ma Zi also sent Chen Ping the topographic map of the mountain and the number of guards at each position.

Chen Ping shared the map with everyone around him.

"You will stop the people in these positions. Su Xixi and I will go straight to the cave!"

After simply assigning the tasks, they immediately took action.

Under the cover of everyone, Chen Ping rushed to the entrance of the cave without any obstacles. After killing several guards with a knife, he first joined Ma Zi.

At this time, the shouting and killing outside was deafening, and the two people deep in the cave had been alarmed.

"You stop them!"

The man in black robe said, and left from another passage in the cave.

Qingta, the leader of the Green Lion Group, just picked up the big knife, and Chen Ping rushed in with Su Xixi and Ma Zi.

Neither side said much, and the most intense battle broke out directly.

Qingta swung his sword and chopped, Su Xixi raised the tower shield to block, and Chen Ping took the opportunity to raise his fire sword and chopped Qingta's armpit.

Ma Zi's arrow also came late and shot Qingta's right eye directly.

In just a few seconds, Qingta was subdued.

"Where are the fragments of the stone tablet? Who is that person? Where did he run to?"

Chen Ping's fire sword was placed on Qingta's neck.

"Not good!" Ma Zi looked stern, and immediately stepped forward and pried open Qingta's mouth, but it was still a step late.

"Damn, is this also playing suicide by taking poison?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

After all the hard work, the clues were finally broken.

"Just now I heard them say that if the fragments are combined with the stone tablet, the clues of the star fragments can be seen. Will the man in black robes have already..." Ma Zi whispered.

"Lionheart City?"

Chen Ping did not hesitate to let everyone leave the battle and return to Lionheart City.

But his message was not sent out.

"Brother Dong, there is a barrier here!"

Su Qianqian took a few steps towards the cave entrance, and an invisible barrier stopped her directly.
