Chapter 436: 435. Small Dart

And downstream from the hotel, the water became crystal clear.

Standing on the balcony, Tang Shu squinted her eyes to observe the river flow while her fingers unconsciously fiddled with a button on her shirt.

She was not idly watching.

She had another purpose.

However, her contemplation was quickly interrupted by a faint sound of friction.

Tang Shu’s gaze slightly hardened as she looked inadvertently toward the door, hearing an almost imperceptible "click" from the handle of the hotel room door.

The next moment, as the door slowly opened, her right hand flicked, and a streak of light shot towards the doorway with incredible speed.

"Swoosh—"

"Damn it, are you trying to commit murder?"

Su Xiaochi barely caught the incoming "Hidden Weapon", feeling a hint of coldness on her fingers.

As she looked at the object in her hand, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Is it really a Hidden Weapon?!"

In her hand was indeed a small Dart, three centimeters long, that reflected a ghostly glow under the sunset, emitting a certain chill.

Sharp and extremely lethal.

"Wow, not bad at all. Wen Nuan’s craftsmanship is excellent."

Su Xiaochi recognized it; a few days ago, Tang Shu had three types of weapons made at Plants & Herbs Hall, and this Dart was the simplest of them.

Of course, ’simple’ is only relative.

She toyed with the Hidden Weapon in her hand, and with a slight press, the simple, single-headed Dart suddenly ’bloomed’ into three heads, with barely visible barbs.

This made her whistle appreciatively.

"This thing... if it really flew into the body, if it doesn’t kill, it’d definitely peel off a layer of skin."

The thought of barbs alone sent shivers down her spine; if a surgeon ever had to operate on someone injured by it, you could bet they’d be sweating bullets.

It’s no wonder Wen Nuan got so excited seeing the weaponry, his eyes lighting up; if every member of their team had a few of these, they could be invincible.

Tang Shu couldn’t be bothered to banter with her, so she used her foot to hook one of the wooden chairs on the balcony and pushed it towards her.

"If you couldn’t catch it, it would have only hit the wall."

She had already guessed who the visitor would be; that Dart was merely a test.

Su Xiaochi plopped down on the chair, loosening the tight clothing of a "bodyguard" she was wearing.

"Just arrived?"

"Mhm."

"Haven’t eaten yet, right? I brought you some food, a local specialty here—stone pot chicken."

She opened the several meal boxes she was holding with her left hand, setting them out on the round table, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

"I asked a good friend for a recommendation and bought this from a centenary shop; the reputation is very good, the taste rich and overflowing."

Su Xiaochi and several friends shared a common love for gourmet food, and now this foodie group had added one more member, Tang Shu.

"Thanks. You managed to explore this place in just half a day?"

The person in question took a bite with her chopsticks, savoring the lingering flavor, which was indeed exceptional.

"No choice, you weren’t here. The archaeological team was very quiet, also very safe."

"It seems I’m some sort of disaster magnet," Tang Shu almost laughed out loud at her words.

"Hmm-hmm," Su Xiaochi twisted open a bottle of water to moisten her throat, "I saw from downstairs you were preoccupied; what were you looking at just now?"

"Looking at the water."

"What’s so interesting about water?"

"There are many Stone tablet inscriptions carved inside the Ancient Tomb; I researched those texts some time ago, and they recorded some of the medicinal herbs they used."

Her main purpose for coming here, besides recording the Stone tablet inscriptions left in the Ancient Tomb, was another very important task—to find several kinds of medicinal herbs.
