In Bayou Township, the mayor is at a loss for this year's harvest bill.

"That's all there is to it this year? Where is this enough for us to eat until the end of spring? Not even enough to eat this winter! How much grain can a hunting party get? ”

The hunting captain sat in the second seat, pondered for a while, and said, "If we go farther, we should be able to hunt 100,000 catties of meat." ”

"100,000 catties? How far are you going? In previous years, it was only about 50,000 catties, and the wild is dangerous, how many people will die if you go so far? ”

"Then you can't watch everyone starve to death."

"Even if you hunt 100,000 catties of meat, it won't be enough for the town to last until the end of spring, we must think of other ways."

One of the clan elders proposed: "According to the day, the traveling merchants from the city should be almost in our town, or we should buy a batch of grain from them?" ”

"Taigong, are you confused? If they knew that we were short of food, they would have knocked out all our bone marrow, I disagreed, I would rather go to the city to buy food myself. ”

The mayor nodded, "This is also a way, although the wild is dangerous, we don't have the means of traveling merchants, but if it comes to a time of crisis, we can't care so much." ”

"If you have any other ideas, let's talk about it."

The atmosphere in the hall was thick, and suddenly someone walked in to say goodbye.

"Mayor of the town, there is a letter from the town of River Valley, inviting you to go to the iron ore mine, saying that it is to discuss the issue of the mining rights of the iron ore."

The mayor frowned and said dishappily, "Don't go!" Didn't I turn them down before? The iron mine is the foundation of the ancestors, and it cannot be defeated in my hands. ”

"But...... The man said he was willing to trade grain for a lease. ”

"Food!" The mayor slammed to his feet. Looking at the people in a circle, everyone's eyes revealed their eagerness, since it was just a lease, it was not considered to hand over the ancestral inheritance to others...... bar.

"Captain Qi, you take a few people from the patrol team and go with me."

"Yes!"

The same situation happened in Riverdale, but Riverdale, who had already reaped the benefits, had no scruples, and instead thought about how to persuade the people of Estuary to agree to the caravan's terms.

……

"Ga ......"

"Can you speak human language? I don't understand, huh? ”

"Ga ......"

"Forget it, I'm embarrassing you, after all, you're not human."

"Ga ......" the ghost owl pushed Natsuki with his head and staggered.

"Roar? I can't understand people's words, but I can understand good words. ”

"Ga ......" the ghost owl picked up the Blue Moon Cultist on one side, and then flung it aside.

Xia Mu frowned, "You still have a habit of abusing corpses, it's really disrespectful." ”

The ghost stomped on the corpse a few more times.

Natsuki: "I really can't learn this kind of habit...... Isn't it good for you to eat it straight? ”

"Quack!"

“……”

"Quack."

"It's really a chicken and a duck, ahh

A man and a bird were compared like this for a long time. In a hurry, the ghost owl came up directly and grabbed Natsuki's arm, but the fluff under his abdomen was scorched by the pure Yang Wuji Gong.

"What do you mean...... It's for me to go with you to kill the Blue Moon Cultists. ”

"Ga ......"

"Let's go, then."

Xia Mu felt happy in his heart, and his mount cultivation program had made a good start.

High in the sky.

Xia Mu took a sip of cold air, although the pure Yang Wuji Gong protected his body, so that he was not afraid of the cold, but ......

"Devil, your claws scratched my shoulder, loosen it a little...... Holy. ”

With a tear, Xia Mu's body fell in half, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he looked at the ant-sized trees and the thin river below.

"That, you hurry up, I have internal strength to protect my body, and I'm not afraid of pain."

……

A large boat split two waves on the surface of the river.

Suddenly, a pitch-black tentacle grabbed the port side of the ship, and at the top of the tentacle, a white Sensen eye rolled to look at the environment on the ship. Suddenly, a silvery white light magnified and magnified in front of the eyeball.

"My lord is good at martial arts!"

The ship's owner thanked the swordsman who had gathered his sword and stood up.

"If it weren't for the help of adults along the way, I wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly."

"It's a submariner, but unfortunately underwater is his home field, so he escaped."

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much, you just cut off his important tentacles with a sword, and this evil thing can't be recovered in ten days and a half months."

"Ship Master Xiao, how long will it be before we get to the Bone Forest Swamp?"

"Not far ahead is the town of the estuary, which is the closest town before entering the swamp, and we will repair the town for a day, and hire a local to lead the way for us, which is a good arrangement."

"The owner of the ship has bothered with my affairs."

"What do you say, don't say anything else, it's just your protection along the way, it's not something I can repay for this little arrangement."

"The owner of the ship is polite, I am the guard of the forbidden evil division, this is my business."

The two were talking, when suddenly the steward of the ship came over, "My lord, the moon rhino seems to have been frightened by something and is not leaving." ”

These two moon rhinos are the heart of the boat owner, and their strength is huge, they can pull the boat up the river for hundreds of miles without stopping, and even carry the boat away when they encounter steep waters. Because of the rough skin and thick flesh, and the size is huge, the general water monsters see that they all take a detour, so it is very convenient to pull the boat, and only an evil thing like the submariner can ignore the two moon rhinos more than ten meters long, but although the moon rhino is strong, the courage is small, and the boat is so frightened by the submariner that the boat stopped halfway, and refused to move.

"Scared by the submariners? Feed some spiritual food to soothe you. ”

"It's been fed, it doesn't work."

"Huh? What's wrong today, although this moon rhino is timid, it won't be scared like this? Adult ......"

"No, there is a smell of blood in the water and ...... It's the stinky blood of the blue-blooded people. It's coming from the front, let's go, let's go and see. ”

He pointed to Birdyu and said.

……

In the iron mine, the people of Riverdale have already arrived.

"Strange, where did Xu Cong, who was in charge of guarding the iron mine, go?"

"Where else can I go, I must have received the benefits of the caravan, and I don't dare to come to see us."

"It's ridiculous, can he hide from us for the rest of his life?"

"No, this guy eats alone, how to teach him a lesson when he sees it."

"Count me in."

The people in the team were whispering, and the mayor naturally heard that Xu Cong did not come to greet him, so he was naturally very annoyed, but the most important thing now is to talk to the people of the caravan about food, and wait to go back and see how to punish him!

After silently making a few strokes in his small notebook, the mayor stretched out his hands to the president of the Chamber of Commerce who greeted him......

After the three parties sat down, the three elders who pretended to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce directly offered their own prices.

"I know that this year's harvest is not good, so the Chamber of Commerce is willing to rent iron ore at the annual price of 60,000 catties of grain, during which we will hire people from the two villages to dig at a price of 10 catties of grain a day. In addition, I will also privately give five of the dates that I gave away in Hegu Town before. ”

Although the conditions of the three elders are not extremely rich, it can be said to be a relief for the two towns, although they know that this big businessman of unknown origin must be plotting iron ore for the greater good, but it is impossible to watch his own townspeople starve to death. So they quickly came to terms of interest.

"Guys, how about a drink together to celebrate our contract."

Under the orders of the three elders, everyone soon had an extra glass of wine in their hands.

"Come, to congratulate us on our contract. Fill this cup. ”

"Good! Come. ”

A group of people from Riverdale chimed in.

But the people of Hekou Town did not move their cups.

"What's wrong? Mayor Xia, I'm afraid that I will poison the wine. ”

"Hey, twist and pinch, don't be happy, I'll test you for drugs." A person suddenly rushed out of the crowd in River Valley Town, and drank the wine in Xia Tie's cup in one go, "Look, it's okay." You guys in Estuary just have too many thoughts. ”

How could the people of Hekou Town withstand such a teasing, at the suggestion of the three elders, everyone raised their cups in their hands. Drink it all.

"It's really good wine, it's so strong......"

With a bang, one of the guards of a riverdale town fell.
