Chapter 578: Into the Bad Ground (I)
The Thunderstone Hunters are rude, brutal, and ferocious, and have strong force, and they come to Riverdale Town like jackals breaking into a sheepfold, and it is polite to buy and sell forcibly, and many townspeople have been beaten and bullied.
Originally, there were police in the town, but they were shot by the Thunderstone Hunters, and the dead and wounded, the alive and the dead all ran here, and no one else dared to come here to maintain order, leaving Riverdale Town completely left to fend for itself.
The appearance of the Thunderstone Hunter also accelerated the decline of Riverdale Town, and no young man was willing to suffer such anger, so he couldn't afford to provoke them and hid far away, so now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the town.
"You are a good man, sir. ”
The old bartender said to Zuo Yi: "Leave here tomorrow morning, don't go to Sassans, it's too dangerous there." ”
In addition to the omnipresent thunderstorms, Sarsanse also has vicious thunderstone hunters.
Although Zuo Yi looks unusual, the tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves, and he doesn't want to see Zuo Yi have an accident.
Zuo Yi smiled: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
He was sure to go to Sassan to see it, and as for the danger or anything, it definitely wouldn't have fallen on his head.
Outside, thunder and lightning were pouring rain, and the sky was getting darker and darker, so Zuo Yi stayed in the tavern.
The second floor of the tavern was the guest room, and although there were no more travelers now, the old bartender, or more accurately the tavern owner, asked his wife to quickly sort out a clean room for Zuo Yi, and only charged a nominal fee.
Settling down in the guest room, Zuo Yi put Tyke out of his backpack and then took out his phone.
He found that not only was there no mobile network signal, but even satellite signals could not be received, and the mobile phone software prompt was interfered with, making it impossible to communicate and locate.
This is somewhat troublesome, but it is not too much of a problem for Zuo Yi.
Click!
The door of the room was knocked gently, and Zuo Yi put down his mobile phone: "Please come in." ”
The door opened, and the tavern owner walked in with a plate: "Sir, your dinner." ”
The tavern was limited, so dinner was simple, just an egg sandwich and hot milk, plus a grilled lamb chop.
Putting the plate on the table, the tavern owner didn't leave immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Sir, are you here for Lei Shi?"
"Nope. ”
Zuo Yi shook his head: "It's the first time I've heard this name today, but..."
He smiled and said, "I'm a little interested in this thunderstone. ”
The tavern owner gritted his teeth: "I have a thunder stone, I can sell it to you at a low price!"
"Huh?"
Zuo Yi was surprised: "Do you have a thunder stone?"
"Yes. ”
The tavern owner explained: "I have never been able to find a suitable buyer for a herdsman's debt to me. ”
In fact, he had long wanted to sell it, so that he could leave Riverdale to live in another city if he had the money, and he didn't need to stay here.
But the right buyer is not easy to find, on the one hand, he has no channel to sell, on the other hand, even if he can find a buyer, it may not be reliable, if it is known by those greedy thunderstone hunters, then it will be a big trouble!
And Zuo Yi seems to be quite reliable.
First of all, Zuo Yi is a native of Daxia.
The reputation of the Great Xia people overseas has always been very good, and the strength and wealth of Great Xia are also widely known.
Secondly, Zuo Yi taught the scar-faced man a deep impression on the tavern owner, such a powerful person was polite to him, and there was naturally no problem with his character.
A combination of various reasons made the tavern owner decide to take out his own treasures and sell them to Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi was really interested: "Then let's take a look." ”
The tavern owner quickly brought the thunder stone over.
The thunderstone he treasured was placed in a wooden box, the size of a baby's fist, and the surface looked very much like a piece of obsidian with a blue tinge, and the texture was quite pure.
But this thunderstone constantly radiates an electric current as thin as a hair, which gives people a very strange feeling.
"My thunderstone is very big..."
The tavern owner proudly said: "The herdsman who picked it up told me that it had electrocuted a sheep and could not hold it with his hands. ”
He also did not dare to take it directly by hand, so in addition to loading it in a wooden box, it was also equipped with a special clamp for non-metallics.
Zuo Yi carefully observed the thunder stone in the box.
Zuo Yi saw this thing for the first time, and felt that the so-called thunder stone was actually somewhat similar to the magic crystal of the thunder demonic beast.
But it is obviously not a magic crystal, the energy contained in it is very unstable, constantly overflowing, and if this situation continues, it will definitely one day completely exhaust and become an ordinary stone.
Zuo Yi estimated that the reason why this thing did not spread in the inner world should be that no one knew how to use it.
Neither can Zuo Yi.
He is not a wizard after all, and he has no wizard means.
However, from a research point of view, Zuo Yi, who is a master rune craftsman, is still interested in buying it.
"You make an offer. ”
The tavern owner struggled for a long time before he offered his price: "How about 100,000 dollars?"
He was very worried in his heart, for fear that he would scare Zuo Yi away if he drove high.
"Deal. ”
Zuo Yi happily took out ten stacks of hundred-dollar bills from his backpack (space ring) and bought the thunder stone from the other party.
The tavern owner was not greedy, and he was extremely happy when he got the 100,000 dollar bill: "Thank you, I can leave this damn place with my wife tomorrow!"
As long as this money is not squandered, it is completely enough for the two of them to spend their last lives.
Sending the tavern owner away, Zuo Yi put the thunder stone into the space ring.
There are too many rare treasures that Zuo Yi has seen, although this thunder stone is a little wonderful, it is not worth his trouble now, and it is not too late to study it slowly after he goes back.
Thunderstorms fell overnight.
The next morning, the rain finally turned into a drizzle, and then soon cleared.
Zuo Yi said goodbye to the tavern owner and his wife.
He was the last customer of the tavern, as the owner had decided to close his doors for the day and go live in another city.
What the future fate of the tavern owner was not something Zuo Yi needed to care about, and he drove Dache in the direction of Sassam.
After driving along a dilapidated road overgrown with weeds for more than ten minutes, Zuo Yi saw a camp built next to the river, which was obviously the camp of the Thunderstone Hunters.
He didn't bother to bother with the Thunderstone Hunters, and bypassed the camp to prepare to go deep into the Badlands of lightning and thunder in the distance.
Find the truth about the time travel!
As a result, the Grand Cherokee driven by Zuo Yi had just driven less than ten kilometers away, and four or five pickup trucks roared behind and chased after them, full of momentum and malice.
