Chapter 26 A withered branch turned into gold? Are you kidding me?
With a slight pursing of his lips, Yu Xiao looked away, raised his head, and gazed at the several astonished men standing frozen in place ahead.
They met Yu Xiao's gaze.
"Run!"
The thin man shuddered, then turned around and shouted.
terrible!
How could someone possibly withstand a dagger with just a dry branch? And even shatter the dagger!
Not only this thin man, but all the other men also turned and ran away as soon as they came to their senses.
This world-shattering scene was so absurd that even a thief with over a decade of experience found it utterly ridiculous.
"Run? You think you can escape?"
Yu Xiao glanced at the panicked crowd ahead and snorted coldly.
For Yu Xiao, whose attributes have been greatly enhanced at this moment, catching up with these people even from a distance of hundreds of meters is a piece of cake.
but……
"You think you can escape my grasp?"
Standing still, Yu Xiao spoke with a disdainful expression, then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
...
Zuo Shu felt that he must have run away with God's favorite daughter today, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered such a thing.
First, they heard that Jiang Dexiang had been arrested, and then Jiang Dexiang revealed their information.
Then, they and their group, in a menacing manner, found the culprit—Yu Xiao.
As a result, he was first threatened by the Special Defense Division of the Public Security Bureau, and then Yu Xiao knocked down his own boss with a dead branch.
Now again...
"Where am I?"
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Zuo Shu's face turned horrified.
Although he could see that his accomplices had also appeared nearby, the surrounding environment at this moment left Zuo Shu with no time to pay attention to anything else.
"It's so dark... Where am I?"
"Weren't we just running through alleys? How did we suddenly end up here?"
"Who exactly is that man? And why would he do this?"
Where exactly did he bring us?
"No! Let us out!"
The other accomplices were the same; after regaining their senses and realizing their surroundings, they turned pale and became hysterical.
However, no matter how much they cried out, the surrounding environment was pitch black, and they could not see anything except each other.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
As everyone's emotions began to crumble, Zuo Shu hesitated, about to say something.
"Welcome to the Abyss."
Yu Xiao's face appeared out of thin air in the sky.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Shu shuddered instantly and shakily raised his head.
"Tell me everything you know."
Facing Zuo Shu's bloodless face, Yu Xiao spoke calmly.
...
Exiting the mental space, Yu Xiao glanced at the group of unmoving men in front of him and curled his lip.
"Still trying to cause me trouble..."
Muttering something, Yu Xiao casually tossed away the withered branch he was holding.
"This [dragon tail] and [abyss] really gave me a pleasant surprise."
"With the former, whatever I acquire can be turned into a deadly weapon; with the latter, I have no worries about the opponent running away..."
Yu Xiao glanced at the withered branch lying on the road and stroked his chin.
Moreover, the abilities they gained were far more than just these two; their other abilities, taken individually, were also top-tier.
For example, that [Abyss Creator], if someone pointed a knife at Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao could strip that knife of its [sharpness] in a matter of minutes...
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiao bent down and picked up his phone that had fallen to the ground.
"I'm getting more and more curious about what exactly the [Heart of the Abyss] does."
"The abilities possessed by a true dragon are undoubtedly exceptional..."
With a sigh, Yu Xiao walked towards the group of men ahead.
The first step was taken.
The Shadow Dragon sensed your approval and became extremely excited.
To gain your approval, the Shadow Dragon, no longer heartbroken, took another bite of the dragon egg fragment, hoping to accelerate its growth.

Yu Xiao: ?
"Why do I suddenly have this feeling that these two dragons are becoming more and more like unruly children?"
Stopping in his tracks, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows as he looked at the pop-up data panel.
...
After Yu Xiao deactivated the "Abyss," Zuo Shu and the others realized that they were still in the alley.
When Zuo Shu mustered up his courage and asked Yu Xiao what it was,
"Mr. Yu Xiao! Are you alright?"
Xu Jianming came running hurriedly from not far ahead.
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Xiao turned his head.
They met Xu Jianming's hurried expression.
"What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Yu Xiao shrugged.
Hearing this, and seeing Yu Xiao's appearance...
"Forehead……"
Xu Jianming choked for a moment.
A dozen minutes later.
As a group of police officers handcuffed Zuo Shu and the others, they were taken away.
He glanced at the backs of the group.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, thank goodness you're alright. I was almost scared to death the whole way here..."
Xu Jianming walked to Yu Xiao's side and patted his chest.
"What could possibly be wrong with me? Just these people?"
Yu Xiao pursed his lips.
"Forehead……"
Upon hearing Yu Xiao's words, Xu Jianming choked for a moment and silently swallowed the words he was about to say.
I hesitated for a moment.
"But that guy named Zuo Shu was really strange. He said he saw you knock the dagger off with a dry branch and beat Situ Nan into submission."
"According to our assessment, the dagger did indeed break because it hit some heavy object, and Situ Nan's injuries also look like he was hit in the chest by a heavy object."
"But that dead branch... we took a look, and it was just an ordinary dead branch..."
Xu Jianming scratched his head and looked at Yu Xiao.
He felt this was truly an unsolved mystery.
Logically speaking, this kind of counterintuitive thing should be obviously absurd, but Zuo Shu and others spoke with such certainty... and the on-site investigation was also...
"Why are you looking at me like that? You don't believe such nonsense, do you?"
Meeting Xu Jianming's gaze, Yu Xiao spread his hands.
The withered branch turned into gold after activating its [Dragon Tail] ability, but after deactivating the [Dragon Tail] ability, it was just a withered branch again.
"Forehead……"
Looking at Yu Xiao's innocent eyes, Xu Jianming choked again.
Intuitively, he suspected that Yu Xiao had actually done something.
But firstly, it's too outrageous, and secondly, nothing can really be found at the scene.
I thought about it.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, are you free now? Shall we talk?"
Xu Jianming shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter.
...
A coffee shop in Yutian Ward, Donghai City.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, do you have any intention of starting a company?"
Looking at Yu Xiao sitting opposite him, Xu Jianming spoke with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao didn't react much, he just nodded.
Seeing that Yu Xiao had admitted it, Xu Jianming pondered for a moment.
"In principle, we do not interfere in everything, and our primary attitude towards Mr. Yu Xiao is cooperation."
"But Mr. Yu Xiao, you must promise us that Daxia has the right of first refusal, regardless of the product."
