Brother Yin retreated to Shen Yu's side, his expression tense as he looked around.
Chen Tang, however, acted as usual, walking over to the old woman's corpse, casually picking it up and shaking it a few times.
Clink, clank!
A whole pile of things fell from the old woman's body.
Among them was a type of rhombus-shaped hidden weapon, uneven and sharp at the tip.
Shen Yu also curiously leaned over and followed Chen Tang's gaze, saying, "This is one of the Hermits' hidden weapons, the Scatterling, also known as the Cross Nail."
"When escaping, scatter it on the ground, or preemptively place the Scatterlings in paths the target is sure to pass through. If stepped on carelessly, the foot is bound to get injured."
Besides the Scatterling, there was also a type of Cross Dart, a disc-shaped flying hidden weapon, also known as the Hermit Dart.
A bamboo tube about as thick as a finger, called a blowgun.
Back by the seaside, Chen Tang had been assassinated by a Hermit with a blowgun.
