CHAPTER XXXIII
The scene was stalemate for a while, Jing Chen held his hands to the side, happy to watch the play.
Huo Zhiyou quietly gave this side a look and gave Jing Chen a thumbs up, this trick is a trick to kill people with a knife, and the resources on the entire island are monopolized by one family, which will inevitably give rise to contradictions, and they will not be hidden, just because of the lack of a critical point to burst it out.
Jing Chen's hand is not a coincidence, it can only be said that it is lucky, there were many people at the entrance of the collection area just now, and it happened that everyone's grievances gathered to the apex, and then they met a suitable opportunity to push it, creating the current scene.
At this time, the entrance of the mining area can be said to be crowded, and many people from the entrance of other mining areas have rushed over, and some good people simply took the opportunity to incite a group of people to share the big cake of minerals.
In their minds, the Chijin Third Ring Island is already a public resource, and the three island owners have been in control for many years, and it is time to let go.
Jing Chen and the others were in the center of this storm, Gao Hu's face was like earth, his feet were shaking like chaff, if the crowd shouted a little louder, he might have knelt down, and the "momentum" composed of the sea of people should not be underestimated.
"That's an exaggeration." Seeing that there were more and more people, the teahouses in the distance, and the hills closer were occupied, Huo Zhiyou wiped his eyes, and then glanced at Gao Hu sympathetically, "He must have offended many people usually." ”
"Say less." Ling Yi opened his mouth and said, "Be careful, someone is deliberately guiding these people, I'm afraid we will be used as guns." ”
If there are many people, it is easy to mess up, and this chaos is easy to have accidents, no matter whether you have eight-star or nine-star strength, in front of the crowds of talismans, ants can also bite elephants to death.
"Yes, indeed." Jing Chen also noticed that there were indeed a few people in the crowd who were inciting the charm master's feelings, but they didn't directly shout that we were going to rebel, which really had ulterior motives.
Jiang Shouyi stood up suddenly, the speed was like a stool nailing a few upside-down nails, the movement was too violent, and the tea on the table was overturned together, "It's a big game now!" ”
"Hurry up, go and inform my uncle!" Jiang Shouyi clenched his fists and said to Li Da.
"Uncle?" Li Da was already stupid by the scene, there were too many people, and the tea stall where they were located would be crowded soon, "Who is uncle?" ”
Jiang Shouyi "snapped" and gave him a slap in the face, "Steward Jiang of the mine, don't go quickly!" ”
The scene was out of control, and it was full of people as far as the eye could see, and I didn't see so many when I got off the dock, as if all the idle talismans on the island had gathered at once.
Jing Chen supported his forehead, and when there were many people, there would be more voices, and it would be annoying.
"Let's go." Ling Yi frowned, grabbed Jing Chen, turned his head to Huo Zhiyu and said, "Enter the collection area and give him one hundred and fifty gold stones!" ”
Huo Zhiyou was stunned for a moment, but he was not ambiguous, gritted his teeth and took a large piece of gold stone from the storage ring, about one hundred and fifty yuan, and put it in front of Gao Hu.
As soon as Gao Hu saw such a golden stone in front of him, his first reaction was to reach out and take it, and then he felt a pimple in his heart, it's bad!
Sure enough, when he got the Lijin Stone in his hand, the crowd was boiling. There is no more reason than one reason, there is really a handling fee, or is it one hundred and fifty yuan away from the gold?! Suddenly, a small circle of people who had originally left a small circle swarmed over and trapped Gao Hutuan.
At this time, Jing Chen and the three of them had already quickly passed the entrance of the collection area, leaving a mess behind.
"I think he's going to have to break his muscles and bones for a month." Huo Zhiyu gloated.
He walked at the end, glanced at the back, and happened to see the scene of Gao Hu being "buried alive" by the sea of people, and the depression in his heart that handed over one hundred and fifty pieces of gold stone suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It's still the boss's trick, and the one hundred and fifty pieces of gold stone are undoubtedly adding firewood to the fire, and even if you want to explain that this is just a misunderstanding, you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
……
Compared with the desolation of the mining area, although the collection area is also full of light purple soil, the vegetation grows extremely luxuriantly, and due to the soil quality, most of the spiritual plants in it have changed, and the leaves are light purple.
It's a pity that this is a low-level spiritual plant growth area, there are no materials that Jing Chen needs, and he doesn't know most of the herbs, so he hurried by, just hurrying away.
As they drifted farther and farther away from the exit, the runic beasts in the collection area slowly appeared, the lowest was two stars, and the highest was six stars, affected by the metal and soil, and their hair was also light purple, and their fangs were extremely sharp.
However, with Ling Yi here, these talisman beasts are nothing, in the wild area, what really needs to be guarded against is the human heart.
There is a special gang to hunt the talisman master, snatch the storage talisman on his body, and if he is lucky enough to catch a big fish, he can cover the income of hunting talisman beasts or picking spirit plants for a few days.
Jing Chen's three people were unlucky, when they met two groups of people like this, the first group consciously retreated after seeing Ling Yi's strength, and they didn't even leave a.
The second group is more tricky, a trio composed of two seven-star two-pattern and an eight-star three-pattern, whose strength is also in the middle and upper reaches of the next island, Lijin Island, and specializes in sneaking up on low-level talismans from Jindao.
"Don't kill us." The woman among the three shouted, "We're willing to hand over all the storage talismans." ”
Ling Yi's sword pattern did not move at all, and a chilling killing intent came from the sharp blade with sword qi, cold and ruthless, firmly locking the three of them.
"I found it, I found it!" Huo Zhiyou was flipping through the books he had picked up from nowhere, and then looked at the three of them and said, "The 'Forest Expert' trio, a bandit group that robs talismans on Lijin Island and Lijin Island all year round!" I also bought a protective tag to protect against them! ”
"What a mess." Jing Chen took the book in Huo Zhiyou's hand and flipped through it, and suddenly there was a black line.
The above records are all high-level talismans who robbed houses, and they specially listed a list of villains on the Red Gold Triple Roundabout, with a commentary next to it, as well as a chart of the selling price fluctuations of the protective cards.
"What's a protective card?" Jing Chen's gaze swept towards Huo Zhiyu.
Huo Zhiyou fumbled for a long time, and finally took out an ugly jade piece, "I bought it on the black market, and I said that I hung it when I entered the collection area, so that it can turn evil into good fortune." ”
"That's it?" Jing Chen couldn't see anything special about the jade plate, even the aura was scarce, and he couldn't help asking, "Black market?" How much did it cost? ”
Huo Zhiyou's momentum weakened suddenly, "Ten golden stones." ”
Jing Chen, "......" Isn't that eight thousand rune stones?! Who was crying a few days ago and saying that he didn't even have a wife?!
"This brother." The woman wanted to cry without tears, "Why didn't you hang out the protective card earlier?!" "Having a protection card is equivalent to paying a protection fee, and they won't do it. Now they are busy in vain, and they have provoked Ling Yi, a bad star, and they can't even keep the storage ring.
Jing Chen was still reading the "Guide to the Wicked", smiled when he heard this, and looked at Ling Yi, "Since you haven't killed anyone, forget it, you leave the storage talisman and get out." ”
Heaven is constant, and people who cultivate truth pay more attention to the word "cultivation", and they also cultivate their minds, they are not murderous people, and they don't want Ling Yi to carry senseless killings for these things.
What's more, the rune world respects martial arts, and the weak eat the strong, especially since this is still a hunting area that follows the law of the jungle, and those who are robbed only blame themselves for being too weak.
Ling Yi put away his sword, his face grim.
The three of them apologized repeatedly, put down the storage talisman and did not go back to the forest.
Huo Zhiyou smiled and stepped forward to collect the loot, a bracelet and two belts, there is not much space, and there are not many things, thinking that these people are also ready to be robbed one day sooner or later, they don't have too much on their bodies, zero and zero total, converted to twenty or thirty thousand runes.
"The money for protecting cards is earned." After dividing the "stolen goods", Huo Zhiyou pinned the jade piece to his waist and said happily.
Ling Yi walked over, turned the "Villain List" to the first page with Jing Chen's hand, and stopped at one of the names in the top three.
The second-ranked You Sanqiu, eight stars and six patterns, the only high-star talisman who likes to wander on the top three in the top three, his cultivation can only be regarded as the middle and upper in the top ten, and the powerful thing is his identity, the only son of You Liang, the owner of Chijin Island.
"Let's go." Ling Yi's gaze swept over the top ten and several other people, noting down the people who often haunted the Golden Island.
Tongjin Island was the next island they would arrive on, and there was also the marrow mist grass that Jing Chen needed.
……
Perhaps it was the protective sign that played a role, and they really didn't encounter any robberies on the next road, and they arrived at the rope bridge between Lijin Island and Tongjin Island in half a day.
This is the junction of the two islands, no accident has also developed a small market, there are a lot of people, but there is no decent inn, almost all the charmers are in the hill not far away to open a hole, or live in the cave left by the predecessors, the conditions are simple.
Huo Zhiyu went out to inquire during the meal time, and the news he got was that there were two ways to get to the next island.
One, cross the bridge. By the way, there is no open mine on the island, and all the stone is mined and planned for trading in a unified manner, and the black market speculation price cannot be higher than the official bid.
Second, it's not a bridge. There is a man-made path on the cliff between the two islands, in other words, you can go down from the Golden Island, take a boat at the bottom, and then climb up from the bottom of the Golden Island, the result is the same as crossing the bridge, and it is free, but the relative risk will be a little.
"How much does the bridge cost?" Jing Chen thought for a while and asked.
"A hundred runes."
"Everyone?" Jing Chen was surprised, "No star rating? "It's so cheap, there won't be a fraud, right?
Huo Zhiyou nodded, and he also had this expression when he got the answer.
Ling Yi stroked the mouth of the teacup, listened carefully, and did not express an opinion.
"And there are so many people here?" Jing Chen's expression became even more strange.
The three of them sat at a tea stall, not far from the entrance of the rope bridge.
The cliffs on both sides are steep, the waves below are choppy, and the long rope bridge is like a hanging line, so that those who walk by always have a heart hanging. The mountains were covered with clouds and mist, and a thin layer of water vapor was wrapped around the surface of the iron chain.
From the entrance of the rope bridge on this side of the Golden Island, people lined up in twos and threes, and many people watched around.
"There's no way they can't afford to pay a hundred runes, right?" Jing Chen expressed doubts about Huo Zhiyu's ability to probe information. If the people surrounding the entrance can't afford to pay a hundred runes, so many people will be stranded.
"Ahem, that's the point." Huo Zhiyou sold a pass, "The rope bridge can only release twenty people a day, and the quota for crossing the bridge has been queued for two months." ”
Jing Chen, "......"
Ling Yi, "......"
Therefore, the previous words are equivalent to not saying them, that is, there is only one road in front of them, take the cliff path to reach the opposite side?!。
