48. Parting ways
"Master, are we really not waiting for 008 to do this?" Sitting in the interstellar train, ** lay in front of the window, looking at the bustling crowd outside, and felt very depressed. The 008 lottery is amazing,**Every time you win the game,,008 will let 008 draw for yourself,It's the first prize every time.ใ The general manager of Ouchi is also very powerful, and will also set up games for the two of them to play, so that they are not lonely in the spaceship at all, but now ......** looked at Suo Tu with some hope, "Master, can't we really wait for Jiang to make a cake with them and leave the spaceship?" The Ouchi manager was kind to us. โ
"Nope." After Suotu finished speaking, he dropped his hat and covered his eyes, just now he had already heard that there was a lot of uproar in the Karst Federation because of the Zerg parasitic eggs, and the citizens of the Federation were also panicked, in order to avoid other Zerg parasites from entering the Karst Federation, now the federal government has begun to implement regulations to restrict entry, this interstellar train will be the last train to allow entry into the Karst Federation, if he misses it, he doesn't know when he will be able to go back. But......
"The hatch is about to close, please get on the bus for those who haven't boarded it yet, and in 10 minutes the last interstellar train from ฮฒ planet to the Karst Federation will be opened." The mechanical girl suddenly sounded in the station,**Looking at the owner who didn't react, she looked sadly at the yellow sand outside the window, is it really going to be separated from 008?
Jiang Cheng walked all the way by feeling, anyway, everywhere here is a desert, the scenery is the same, Xiao ฮฒ just said that it was okay to go straight, there are good things there. But now Jiang Cheng doesn't have much reaction to the so-called good things. Jiang Cheng glanced back from time to time as if to see if he had caught up, but except for 008, there was only yellow sand in the sky......
"Little ฮฒ, how far is it? It's getting dark. Jiang Cheng looked at the front and looked at the back, there was no difference, and he couldn't see how far he had gone.
008 suddenly pointed to the left front and said to Jiang Yuan, "Master, it will be dark in another hour, and I just detected that there is a cave there where we can stay for the night." โ
Jiang Yu glanced at the sun that was about to set, nodded decisively, and followed 008 towards the cave he found.
The cave is not big, about a man high, and if Suotu were here, he would probably hit the top of his head. Jiang Cheng took a closer look and found that there were still some scattered white bones in the corner. Jiang estimated that this should have been left by other animals or people. Jiang Cheng felt the breath of finding that there were no living creatures around, and he was immediately relieved.
008, who was scanning the cave, suddenly found that there seemed to be some ore hidden here, "Master, I found that there seems to be ore in the cave, just ......"
Before 008 finished speaking, suddenly a spike pierced 008's head, "Drip-" Jiang Xiang's vigilant sleeve broke the spike and grabbed 008, "Who?" Jiang Cheng stared at the movements around him, obviously he had used his divine sense to survey the cave before, and there was no breath of a living thing in it, could it be a dead thing? Or is it something that can dodge his exploration?
Jiang Prize's voice echoed inside the cave, and no one responded, but Jiang Prize knew that there must be something inside, "Little ฮฒ do you know what else is there here besides us?" โ
"Stones."
"Stones?" Jiang Cheng suddenly frowned and was silent, could it be a stone spirit? Before Jiang Cheng could figure it out, suddenly a row of cyan transparent spikes emerged from the ground and attacked Jiang Cheng from the depths of the cave. The cave is not big, and it is difficult for Jiang Cheng to exert his fists and feet, so he can only beat it with a "broken" word.
With a "snap", all the stone flowers formed by the spikes on the ground were shattered into pieces, but before the fragments fell to the ground one after another, although an encirclement was instantly formed to surround Jiang Yuan, and then attacked violently.
"Protect." Jiang Cheng suddenly let out a loud shout and used a spell to block the attack of the broken stone.
Rubble seemed to find that the enemy was hiding in a golden bell jar and couldn't attack, and then began to surround Jiang Cheng and them in a circle. Jiang Prize didn't know why the other party did this at first, but when he saw more and more gravel around him, Jiang Prize immediately understood. The other party is trying to trap them inside the rocks!
"Broken." Of course, Jiang Cheng would not let the other party succeed like this, and directly broke the besieged gravel chips with a broken word. Jiang Xian took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet made the next move, and directly trapped all the broken stone pieces in a circle with the word "sleepy", "Show your original form, you can't beat me." โ
When the gravel struggled for a while and found that he really couldn't break free from Jiang Yuan's comfort, he finally slowly gathered together, and then turned into a tall and powerful cyan stone man.
"It's a stone spirit." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he didn't want to be beaten by himself, "Who are you?" Why are you attacking me? โ
"Didn't you come looking for me?" The stone man seemed a little surprised.
"I don't know you, what are we looking for you?" Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, they hadn't met at all, okay.
008, who had already repaired himself, immediately called up the information, "Stone, the mercenary who was once the first on the black list, because he was suspected of killing his employer, has been rewarded by the people of the Ma family of the employer, and anyone who catches him can get a reward of 1 billion yuan."
"1 billion yuan?" Jiang Xian suddenly looked at the stone with glowing eyes.
I didn't believe in Jiang Prize's two guys who suddenly appeared, but now the stone saw Jiang Prize's look like he was looking at a pile of money after hearing his bounty amount, and he knew that he couldn't escape. Shi Meng began to struggle, "And you said that you didn't just catch me?" Let go of me, you bastards......"
Jiang Cheng ignored the stone's resistance, "Then we have caught him now, how can we contact that person?" โ
"We can contact each other directly on the virtual network, but ......" 008 called up another piece of information, "I just searched this Marne family, and found that their family's industry sells enhancement potions, but according to the information I analyzed, there is a special ingredient in the enhancement potion that only exists on Planet C, and this planet has exploded a long time ago, so ......" 008's electronic eyes flashed, "Now the only remaining Star Man on Planet C is a stone." โ
"Are you suspecting that the reason why the Marne family offered a bounty on the stone was because they wanted to use him to refine potions?" Jiang Cheng glanced at the stone that was still scolding loudly.
"Yes. Moreover, the information also shows that the C-star people are made of the hardest stone, and this kind of stone seems to be called diamond in your home earth, and it is also an expensive gemstone. โ
Jiang Cheng touched his chin, "How expensive?" โ
"It seems that a person can buy one in his life, and it will be passed down from generation to generation."
"Isn't that like a family heirloom?" Jiang Cheng glanced at the tall and mighty "heirloom" stone, thinking that if he returned to Earth in the future, his home would be empty, so he would break the stone and sell it little by little, which would allow them to spend a long time. Jiang Cheng slowly walked in front of the stone, "Tell me, what is the matter between you and the Marne family?" โ
"Phew! Lao Tzu has nothing to say to him. Lao Tzu didn't even know if that person was from the Ma family, let alone killed him. The group of people in the Marne family is a group of brutes, they captured all our C star people to do real things, and finally blew up our C planet in order to cover up their behavior, if I hadn't been adopted by a bunch of husbands in the star field next door, I wouldn't have lived until now. I can't avenge my people by living so badly. The stone gritted its teeth and hammered the ground.
"Since you didn't grow up on Planet C, how do you know that the Marne family did it? Maybe someone else is stirring up a wedge between you? "For conspiracy theories, blaming others for these things Jiang Xiang has seen a lot before.
"What am I trying so hard to climb to the top of the black list? It's not to know the truth back then. Because we C people have the longest lifespan, our oldest clan was born when Planet C was just born, and we C people are just a pile of stones, similar to the structure of Planet C, and we are in a dependent relationship with the planet, and it is impossible for us to destroy the planet's environment and kill ourselves. "And because of this, our fertility rate is extremely low, even several times lower than that of other planets." There are couples who don't even conceive a child in their lifetime. In addition, we like to work alone, do some dangerous occupations, and the mortality rate is also very high, which leads to the fact that the number of people is too small to support the research and development needs of the Marne family for medicines. Even if the Marne family โกโก us, none of them have ever succeeded. โ
"So they planted a crime against you at random, just to catch you, the last C-star? Used to continue to do real yร n? โ
"Hmm." Shi nodded helplessly, "The rumors in the interstellar that say that you can live forever if you eat me are also spread by them, which makes me often attacked by sneak attacks." That's why I thought you were one of the people who came to arrest me. โ
"......, so they're lying down."
"It's okay for you to let it go, but do you have anything of value?" Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow.
"I can do my life for you." The stone shook his body and tried to stand up, "I'm the number one on the black list." โ
"Defeated." Jiang Cheng looked at the stone with a disdainful face, indicating that this reason was useless.
"......" Stone didn't know what to say. His life experience is already so miserable, why do you want to treat him like this.
