Chapter 249: Windfall
Chapter 249
Yuan Yi sighed secretly, she should have thought that with the character of the night, it was impossible to put on a good face to others. According to this situation, it seems that she has to take action today, and sometimes being low-key does not mean that she is easy to bully. Yuan Yi's eyes looked directly at the Blood Soul City Lord on the high platform above, and said coldly: "Is this the City Lord's hospitality?" ”
The Blood Soul City Lord was slightly surprised in the face of Yuan Yi's provocation, his amber eyes deepened, and he stared at Yuan Yi with half-squinted eyes. After looking at it for a moment, he didn't find anything peculiar about the stubborn young man in the audience, facing the young man's gaze that he was not afraid to look at him, a kind of displeasure that his majesty was provoked rose in his heart, a little anger rose on his face, and his lips pursed out a few words: "You dare to provoke the city lord." The words fell, and the momentum of the whole body was directly released, and it went straight towards Yuan Yi.
Feeling the fierce killing intent of the Blood Soul City Lord, Yuan Yi's good impression of Blood Soul City was swept away, he frowned, his eyes were like torches, and his hand moved, the Feng Xi Sword had already appeared in his hand, and he just wanted to make a move. The tall and thin middle-aged man in the audience moved first, his figure flashed, and he jumped towards the dark night silently like a ghost, holding a dagger in his hand, and the sharp knife peak flashed with black light, which was obviously coated with poison, and the dagger was about to pierce the body of the dark night without any suspense.
The surrounding people looked at this scene, the corners of their mouths rose, revealing a bloodthirsty and arrogant smile, only Yuan Yi had disdain at the corners of his mouth, these people were actually stupid to provoke the dark night, they were really looking for death. Sure enough, only a soft "click" was heard, and the howl of a tall and thin man like a pig immediately sounded in the hall.
"Ah...... I'll kill you. Looking at the severed arm of Qi Gen, the tall and thin man fell into madness, and his despair made him completely lose his mind, and slashed towards the night in a disorderly manner. He's done. His strength is not very strong, he has just broken through the first star of the Holy Order, but it is with the flexible use of this pair of daggers, coupled with the ghostly body, that he has achieved the position of the henchman next to the city lord in this Blood Soul City. But now there is no arm. In all this Blood Soul City with strength, he is nothing, he is completely finished.
Styx moved a few times at will, dodged the attack, looked at the man who fell into madness with an impatient and bored expression, and glanced at Yuan Yi lightly. The killing intent in his eyes, Yuan Yi had already seen it very clearly. Nodding slightly, I thought in my heart: It's time to be shocked, maybe it's better to do it in the dark night than she to do it.
Styx's eyes were half-narrowed, and a terrifying cold light shot out of his eyes, and he didn't see any movement. The tall and thin man fell straight down, his bulging eyeballs bloodshot, proving that he seemed to have faced something that terribly frightened him before he died. The surrounding people watched the situation in shock, everything just happened so fast, and before they could react, the tall and thin man was already dead. The battle between the Holy Ranks, as long as the difference in strength is not too large, it is impossible to achieve such an effect. Even the Blood Soul City Lord could not confidently kill the tall and thin man with a wave of his hand. There is only one possibility, this unusually handsome looking cold young man is actually above the city lord, oh my God! What level is that.
After everyone thought it through. Including the Blood Soul City Lord on the stage, they all gasped, their eyes were full of awe and looked at the dark night, and they no longer dared to have any dissatisfaction.
Styx didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, his expression was still cold and not like a real person, and a pair of golden eyes only had a slight wave in the face of Yuan Yi, and urged Yuan Yi: "Hurry up and finish your work." It's so boring here. ”
Yuan Yi looked at everyone's trembling expressions in an instant, and looked at the dark night with trepidation. Although I am afraid that the next person to die will be myself, after hearing the words of the dark night. Obviously, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at her nervously, and a smile on their faces was more ugly than crying. If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Yuan Yi would have wanted to laugh a little, restrained his emotions, and said to the Blood Soul City Lord: "I don't know what the Blood Soul City Lord is dissatisfied with our Fengyun City." ”
The Lord of the Blood Soul City had the arrogance at the beginning, and barely pulled out a fairly complete smile on his face, and said with pain: "The envoy said that he laughed, Fengyun City and our Blood Soul City are naturally good allies, how can there be any dissatisfaction, there will be more exchanges between the two cities in the future, wait a minute, I will draft the documents and send people to Fengyun City, from now on, the Fengyun mercenary group can enter and leave our Blood Soul City at will, and trade will be free." ”
Yuan Yi was overjoyed when she heard this, the conditions given by the other party can be described as extremely high, although she had not been in the Blood Soul City for a long time, before she came, Yuebai had briefly introduced some of the situation in the city to her. Therefore, Yuan Yi already knew seven or eight points about everything in Blood Soul City. This Blood Soul City can be said to have caught up with the level of the imperial capital of a great country with all kinds of facilities, and for outsiders to open shops, Blood Soul City will charge extremely harsh so-called entry taxes. If the Fengyun mercenary group can trade freely here without paying expensive entry taxes, it will bring a great fortune to Fengyun City, thinking about the refining weapons and pills of the Wu clan and the many gold-making methods that Sophie and Yuebai came up with, Fengyun City's funds can be completely self-sufficient, and there is no need to rely on her pills and the support of the Muye Chamber of Commerce, and truly achieve the basics that a big city should have. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain from this visit, thinking about the Thunder Domain City, Yuan Yi is also considering whether she needs to directly use force to deter, although she can't expose her strength before entering Lingyun Palace, but Limo can, Xiao Wu can too, and Styx can also.
Seeing that Yuan Yi didn't answer for a long time, the Blood Soul City Lord was a little up, but this was already the biggest concession, it was impossible to directly give up the Blood Soul City to others, although they had peerless powerhouses, but if they really wanted to fight to the death, there was still a chance for them to be numerous, but it was cheaper for the group of villains in Thunder City to do so. The more the Blood Soul City Lord thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but he didn't dare to speak out at will.
Yuan Yi figured everything out, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thank you for the generosity of the Blood Soul City Lord, then we still have something to rush to Thunder Domain City, so it is inconvenient to stay longer." ”
The Blood Soul City Lord's face showed a sincere look of joy, and he immediately said: "Since the envoy has something important to do, we won't stay longer, Kuiba, you give the two envoys of Fengyun City a ride." ”
The named Kuiba had a dish on his face, but he didn't dare to disobey the meaning of the city lord, saluted respectfully, obediently made a posture to lead the way, and said softly, "Two messengers." Please"
Yuan Yi slowly followed him, and the dark night naturally followed Yuan Yi. Seeing the figures of the two disappear at the door of the hall, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the Blood Soul City Lord's face sank, and he glanced at the corpses on the ground casually. Leng snorted and shouted: "Useless things, come here, drag him out and bury him." Two attendants immediately rushed in from the door and dragged the body of the tall and thin middle-aged man down.
"City Lord, you see that this Fengyun City is not small. can actually invite such a peerless powerhouse to help, maybe they really have something to do with the Jin family? One of the audience guessed.
"Regardless of whether Fengyun City has anything to do with the Jin family or not, we can't touch it now, do you think we can resist the revenge of that peerless powerhouse?"
"What the city lord is worried about is that we just let Fengyun City become bigger? In the future, this Fengyun City will definitely be a big trouble. We have been planning for so long, not just to rely on the excellent location west of the Red River to develop, and now Fengyun City is a needle prick that has to be pulled. Another person in the audience admonished.
"Do you think that the lord of this city doesn't know, what else can be done now, you can only see how this Fengyun City develops first, hmph, you think it is so easy to develop a city. Even if there is a peerless powerhouse, the foundation of this Fengyun City is weak, and it will not be a climate at all for more than ten years. Wait until we take Minefield City. Think again. Otherwise, if we defeat this Fengyun City, we will also be greatly injured, and it will not be good to be cheapened by those villains in Thunder City at that time. ”
"The city lord is wise, the two envoys just now should be preparing to go to Thunder City, City Lord, if Thunder City offends Fengyun City. They fought because of this, can we just take advantage of the fisherman......" The person who spoke out earlier in the audience spread his palms. He made a fist and said with a sinister smile on his face.
The Blood Soul City Lord heard this. There was a hint of deep thought on his face, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he laughed coldly, and several people in the audience also laughed with deep meaning on their faces. The Blood Soul City Lord beckoned to the person who proposed it, and after a few words, the person immediately retreated respectfully??。
The scorching sun is in the sky, in the dense forest, the towering ancient trees cover the sky, the weeds are overgrown, the surroundings are quiet, in this hot summer, there is not even the sound of insects and birds, all thanks to the existence of the king of the sky, on the periphery of the sunset mountain range, the king of the sky can be regarded as a unique existence, naturally those low-level demonic beasts automatically retreated.
The gurgling stream flowed, on top of a smooth boulder, Yuan Yi chatted with the dark night while eating barbecue, although the dark night is not a competent chatter, basically she said three words, the dark night is just floating a white eye or a few words popping out, but in this silent forest, few are better than nothing.
Thunder Domain City is not far from Blood Soul City, and at the speed of the King of the Sky, it will be less than seven or eight days at most, which is much closer than starting from Fengyun City to Blood Soul City. Yuan Yi estimated that they should arrive at Thunder City in two days, and he was not in a hurry, so he stopped to rest for a while when he saw that there was a stream, just in the dark night shouting for grilled fish. Yuan Yi seems to have recovered his body in his heart, and his appetite in the dark night has grown.
"In the dark night, if you continue to eat like this, it is estimated that you will grow a body of fat." Yuan Yi said with some mischievous intimidation.
Styx looked at her like an idiot, the movements of his hands remained the same, and skewers of grilled fish flew into his stomach. After eating almost, he lazily replied: "Do you think my fleshy body is a fragile body like a human being?" ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, Yuan Yi asked with some curiosity: "Isn't that?" ”
Styx rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not, my body is an immortal and immortal body, unless I recruit someone stronger than me to destroy it into powder, otherwise I will always be like this, and I can be reborn with broken limbs." Your human body only lived for about a thousand years at most before you became a god, and you can grow old in a few hundred years, so how can my body be so fragile. ”
"Immortality and immortality, does that mean eternal life, how long have you lived that night?" Shock flashed in Yuan's eyes, the first time he heard that there was a saying of immortality and immortality, even the old ancestor could only barely live for two thousand years, what is the concept of immortality.
"I can't remember exactly, my 10,000-year-old birthday has passed, and I haven't counted it since I continued to cultivate." The night is a casual way.
Yuan Yi was stunned when he heard this, and stared at the dark night dumbfounded, as if he was looking at a rare thing, daring to love the old monster who had only lived for 10,000 years, no wonder the strength of the dark night was so strong.
"You're not tired of living so long!" Yuan Yi said with some emotion, she couldn't imagine how to spend that long life without death.
Hearing this, Styx looked at Yuan Yi in a daze, as if he had never thought about this problem. He was destined to have an infinitely long life at birth. It's just that he has always been obsessed with cultivation, and he doesn't feel how boring life is, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be a little boring.
"You human beings who have reached the god level are also like us demons, and you can maintain your life for tens of thousands of years. If you cultivate to a higher level, your lifespan will be extended, and even reach the point where you will be immortal, and you humans will not die, isn't that what you human beings are pursuing? The dark night said lightly, as if he was explaining to Yuan Yi. It's like explaining to yourself that there are still many people in this world who are seeking eternal life, and he already has it.
"If my relatives and friends are gone, I'd rather go myself, at least I won't be lonely." Yuan Yi pursed his lips and said calmly. She never wanted to live forever. Listening to such a day, I feel lonely, my friends and relatives have died one after another, and what is she living alone for. This feeling was deeply felt at the moment of her rebirth, and she had no nostalgia for that world, but now that she has a new life, and her friends and relatives in this life have left, she doesn't feel that she has any meaning in living.
"Relatives, friends......" the murmur of the night, except for the parents. He seemed to be alone all along.
Yuan Yi looked at the golden pupils of the dark night and darkened slightly, having been with him for so long, he naturally knew his thoughts. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't I say we were friends." ”
"Friend" Styx repeated in a low voice.
"Yes, friends, of course." Yuan Yi grinned.
The night was a little stunned, of course he knew what it meant to be a friend, but his intuition was a little different, but he couldn't say it, maybe his abnormality was all because he had a friend. What a strange existence of friends. But he liked it. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little along with the soft face, and then widened and widened. A dazzling smile was revealed, not the usual sneer or lip pulling. It's a real sincere smile, with a handsome and bewitching face in the dark night, which makes people addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
Yuan Yi stroked his heart that was a little anxious, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, everyone loves beautiful things, and beautiful things are pleasing to the eye. "It's so nice to smile at night, you should smile more."
"Laugh?" Styx was stunned and repeated, laughing, he would laugh, he thought that he was a little sad except for the death of his parents, he should have no other emotions, but why did he laugh? The genius of the dark night was desperately thinking about it, but he couldn't think of a single thought, so he could only look at Yuan Yi in a daze.
Yuan Yi waved his hand in front of the eyes of the dark night, seeing that he was still stunned and in a daze, and just wanted to make a sound, a frightened scream came from a distance, waking up the two, in fact, the sound was already very weak when it reached where they were, but there was silence around them, but they could hear it very clearly. Yuan Yi was a little strange, how could someone appear, his heart moved at will, and the kung fu man who blinked in the blink of an eye had already reached a few hundred meters away.
The situation that caught his eyes surprised Yuan Yi a little. I saw that on the steep stone wall, a young man wearing coarse linen clothes had a thick rope wrapped around his waist, hanging on the stone wall, shaking back and forth to avoid the attack of a giant snake in front of him, looking at the young man's movements, he should only have some superficial kung fu, not an elemental master, and the big snake in front of him was just a heaven-level demonic beast, but for the young man, this should be regarded as a completely unrivaled existence. The scream just now should have been from him, but Yuan Yi was a little strange. Although the young man's whole body trembled because of fear, he did not want to leave, but from time to time he pushed the stone wall with one hand to make his body jump in the direction of the giant snake, and the other hand seemed to want to grasp something, but he failed to return.
Yuan Yi looked in the direction of the young man's other hand, and saw that under the waist and abdomen of the giant snake, there was a small red grass, and a small pink flower bloomed quietly on it. Yuan Yi couldn't help but be slightly shocked, it was actually a pink dream grass, and it had already bloomed. Although this was not uncommon for her, it was an extremely rare herb on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains. Pink Dream Grass generally grows between steep mountain walls, and must not see sunlight for many years, and needs to be fed by poison in order to grow. Looking at the angry situation of the big snake, and actually under the oppression of the King of the Sky, it was reluctant to leave, it can be seen that it has been feeding this pink dream grass for a long time.
The young man is an ordinary person, no matter how flexible his body is, he can't be as fast as a real heaven-level demonic beast, at the beginning, the giant snake was just angry, but a weak ordinary human like an ant actually dared to challenge it, so he had the intention of playing, and vented his anger. It's just that now it's obvious that the giant snake is tired of playing this game, and its huge body moves quickly, and its thick snake tail hits the young man mercilessly.
This young man has a stubborn temper and is clever enough, he slapped his hand hard and let go of the thick rope around his waist, grabbed the branch of the baby's arm thickness that grew on the side of the mountain wall, and swayed his body, dodging the attack of the giant snake At the same time, the figure was thrown forward in a semicircular arc, and one hand flexibly climbed the stone wall, and quickly picked the small pink flower. (To be continued)
ps: Five thousand finished writing, I stayed up late yesterday to write more than half of it, and today I secretly went to work to code words, and there was a party at night, and I was sleepy and wanted to fall asleep standing first
