Chapter 714 - Trample the mountains underfoot (1/2)

Li Shentan’s arrival was not necessarily bad news for Vanilla. At the very least, they would not need so many people to keep watch at night anymore. When Li Shentan was ready to go to bed, the people under Li Shentan’s control stood outside the campsite in a circle and held hands with each other. Vanilla suddenly felt like he wanted to play the Drop the Handkerchief.[1]

Disregarding whether this was a strange sight or not, with such a force guarding around the campsite tirelessly, no one could successfully launch a sneak attack at all.

Just as Li Shentan was about to enter his tent, he suddenly stepped back. “Oh yeah, I forgot something important.”

When he said that, everyone at the campsite stopped what they were doing for fear that Li Shentan would do something crazy.

Li Shentan walked to the center of the campsite and said, “Listen, will our friends from the Pyro Company please turn around?”

With that, around 30 people standing guard outside that were under his control turned around to face the campsite.

Then Li Shentan said, “You all were active in this vicinity. I’m guessing you all were waiting for someone to give you a signal, right? See if there are any of your fellow members in this campsite. If there are, point them out to me.”

Vanilla was stunned. When he received news from Cheng Yu’s side during the day saying they had discovered some Pyro Company spies in their group, he was still thinking about identifying them based on the tattoos near their ribs.

However, his plans were disrupted by the arrival of Li Shentan. He had completely forgotten about this matter.

And now, Li Shentan was actually using the people under his control to identify their accomplices.

“He can even do that?” Vanilla muttered softly.

Next to him, Tang Hualong gave a wry smile. “The Demon Whisperer is very eccentric and unpredictable. I wonder who’s capable of being friends with him.”

Right at this moment, two Pyro Company members suddenly raised their hands and pointed at two people in the campsite.

The two who were pointed out looked terrified. “We aren’t members of the Pyro Company. We don’t have any tattoos near our ribs. You can have a look if you don’t believe it.”

Li Shentan clapped his hands and started laughing. “Your Pyro Company was the one that spread the information about those tattoos to the public. Wasn’t that precisely so it could throw us off in times like these? I won’t trust any common knowledge that everyone is aware of.”

It was very easy for humans to trust what was known as common knowledge to them. However, how could there be so much common knowledge in life? Most of them were just castles of lies.

So only at this moment did the others in the campsite finally understand that not all Pyro Company members were tattooed at their ribs. Some of them simply did not have any tattoos at all.

Vanilla sighed. They had been very cautious when they were screening the candidates for this group. But in the end, two Pyro Company members still managed to sneak through.

The two Pyro Company members suddenly saw Li Shentan take a silver coin out of his pocket. Li Shentan said with a smile, “Let’s play a game of heads or tails. If you guess right, I’ll spare your lives.”

The two Pyro Company members looked at each other. If it were someone else that said this to them, they would be lying. How could the Anjing House possibly let the two of them from the Pyro Company leave? However, when Li Shentan used a game to decide their fate, it somehow sounded more convincing. One of the Pyro Company members said, “I’ll guess tails.”

Li Shentan nodded. “Watch carefully.”

As he spoke, he flipped the silver coin high up into the air with his thumb. There was an engraving of a young woman on the heads’ side of the exquisite silver coin. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a graceful smile on her face. On the back, there was an engraving of a bouquet of lilies.

No consortium in this world had ever issued such a silver coin. Li Shentan had personally carved it.

As the silver coin flew past the bridge of Li Shentan’s nose, it hovered at the position of his eyes and kept spinning.

Everyone was waiting to see the outcome of the toss, but it just remained suspended in the air and did not fall back down!
